Thirty percent?
Li Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt somewhat smug.
It's worth noting that Li Xin had already made a fortune when he sold the first batch of flintlock muskets.
Now, with prices rising by another 30%, profits have increased by another 30%.
Such a good deal, of course we should accept it!
However, Li Xin did not appear overly pleased. Instead, he frowned subtly and said, "Mr. Nuh, we have a deep friendship and are old friends. Since you are so sincere, I will do my best to satisfy you. Collect as many as possible of the 30,000 flintlock muskets you can."
"However, time is of the essence, Mr. Nuch, would you please wait here a little longer?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nasr Nuh's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "I am extremely grateful that Your Majesty can help me! Waiting a little longer is only right!"
"Oh, right,"
Looking at Nasr Nuh, Li Xin continued, "During this period, railway stations have been built all over our Great Gan Kingdom. Mr. Nuh, are you aware of this?"
"His Majesty,"
Nasr Noh nodded and said, "I learned some things from the Beijing Daily; it says it's fast, has a large capacity, and is highly efficient!"
"If I have the chance, I definitely want to experience it for myself!"
"There will be plenty of opportunities!"
Li Xin said with a smile, "During this period, the Jingdong Railway opened, and there are currently two trains running every day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. I heard that there are plenty of tickets available, and you should be able to buy one. Mr. Nuh, if you want to take a train, I'll ask the railway bureau to reserve a few tickets for you."
"Ah? Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"
Nasr Noh quickly expressed his gratitude.
Li Xin waved to the guard beside him and said, "Tell Director Duan Yongzhi to reserve ten round-trip train tickets for Mr. Nuh."
"yes!"
The guard nodded.
Nasr Noh quickly expressed his gratitude.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Li Xin said with a smile, "Recently, shops at the train station have been put up for bidding and auction. If Mr. Nuh is interested, you can take a look. Your business must value these things quite a bit, right?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Nasr Nuh thanked him and said, "I also saw the advertisement for the shop auction in the Beijing Daily today, and I'm planning to check it out too. For a business to succeed, choosing a good location is crucial. Trains are a new mode of transportation and a promising opportunity; we certainly won't miss out on such a chance!"
"Okay, okay!"
Li Xin smiled and continued, "Mr. Nuh, you are a distinguished guest. I will have Lin Zian send someone to deliver a brochure to you."
Looking at Nasr Nuh, Li Xin continued, "The Jingdong Railway that opened this time is planned to connect Beijing to Dongning, passing through places like Yuguan and Liaodong. Currently, it has just reached Jinghai County, but construction is also underway in Dongning."
"Jinghai County is a small county town. In the past, because it was located along the Grand Canal, its commerce was quite developed. However, because it is close to the capital, it is not as prosperous as places like Linqing and Tongzhou."
"However, Jinghai County has one advantage: it's located by the sea!"
"I plan to extend the railway in Jinghai County to the sea. We will build a large port on the sea, which will become a passage for Beijing to go out to sea in the future."
“Since the time in Dongning, maritime trade has been very developed. The future will also be the age of the ocean, so I suggest that you rent shops near the dock area in Jinghai County.”
"It's close to the port, making it convenient to go out to sea. Plus, with the railway extending to the port, it's very convenient to travel to other places!"
Nasr Nuh's eyes lit up upon hearing Li Xin's words.
As a businessman, Nasr Noh immediately understood the enormous business opportunity involved.
The port is directly connected to the railway, which will in turn connect various provinces in the future. As a result, the port area will become very prosperous!
Especially with all aspects of the country's development flourishing today, it is foreseeable that the future will only get better and better!
Immediately, Nasr Noh made up his mind to go to the docks and train stations to check on the shops and warehouses.
In today's great nation, in addition to its extremely advanced weaponry, all sorts of new products are emerging one after another.
Goods from Dagangan are very popular in Southeast Asia and the West.
The profits are also very high!
Especially now that the internal war in Dagan has been quelled, the country has entered a stage of stable development.
At that time, there will be even more goods available.
Not only new products such as soap, perfume, coal stoves, glass mirrors, and telescopes, but also products originally from all over the country, such as silk, cloth, brocade, satin, tea, porcelain, books, and ironware, will become increasingly common.
So many products will require a vast market!
And transporting products requires new means of transportation!
Railways, trains!
This new mode of transportation is fast, has a large capacity, is highly efficient, and has low cost!
In an instant, Nasr Noh had considered all the benefits.
...
After leaving the Wuying Hall and returning to his residence, Nasr Nuh instructed his servants to continue inquiring about the train.
Furthermore, they collected all available information about steam trains and railways.
Nasr Noh showed great interest in these emerging things.
Early the next morning, Nasr Noh and his entourage arrived at the West Station of the capital.
Holding the train tickets given to them by His Majesty, Nasr Noh and his entourage boarded the train.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the train departed, heading towards Jinghai County.
After the train started moving, Nasr Noh and his entourage watched the fleeting scenery outside the window with great interest.
Gradually, the train entered the capital city.
After passing through Beijing and stopping at Beijing East Station for a while, the train continued eastward.
Along the way, it stops at Tongzhou Station, Wuqing Station, and Jinghai Station.
We arrived at Jinghai Station at 12:30 pm. It took us three and a half hours to get to Jinghai, which is quite fast!
Standing at Jinghai Station and looking east, you can vaguely see railway workers continuing to build the railway.
After exiting the station, Nasr Noh surveyed his surroundings.
Near Jinghai Railway Station, similar to the situation in Beijing, shops and warehouses are also under construction.
After leaving the train station, Nasr Noh and his group rented a horse-drawn carriage and headed along the Haihe River towards Tanggu.
"Gentlemen,"
On the way, the coachman pointed to the railway line beside him and said, "This railway line extends to Tanggu. This area is all farmland, there aren't many people here."
"However, things get lively when we get to Tanggu!"
"oh?"
Listening to the driver's words, Nasr Nuh became interested and hurriedly asked, "How lively is it over in Tanggu?"
