How did the traditional wine business develop in this world?

Just like what Madam Sophie did, she took steady steps and set up shops in the cities and towns throughout Patton Territory.

Training store managers and employees.

Operate independently.

This is not a big problem. The advantage is that from the production to the sales of Pompeii wine, even a penny of profit will be swallowed up by the Pompeii family.

All the money was earned by the Pompeii family.

Now the net profit of Pompeii wine has increased to about 400 gold coins a month, and about 5,000 gold coins a year.

This was of course a huge sum of money for Pompeii in the past, but for Pompeii now, it felt like a drop in the bucket.

Of course, there is still potential. If Pompeii wine shops were opened in all the cities and towns in Orange, the annual income might reach millions of gold coins.

If it were to be opened throughout the kingdom, the profits would be unimaginable.

But the problem is that the traditional way of opening a shop to start a business, like Mrs. Sophie's, is developing too slowly.

In this strange and dangerous world, especially now that the entire kingdom is under the shadow of the New Party, unrest may occur at any time.

To put it in an unlucky way, the Pompeii family might have been wiped out before they got rich from Pompeii wine.

So Luther plans to use a different method to expand his business: agency.

This is good.

Luther planned to find twenty or thirty agents in Orange, with one agent corresponding to each territory of a great noble.

The current cost of producing Pompeii wine is twenty-five copper coins, or 2.5 silver coins.

Luther plans to sell it to agents at a wholesale price of five silver coins and only earn double the profit. The Pompeii family will only focus on producing Pompeii wine and developing new flavors of wine.

It also operates liquor retail in the territories of Patton and Pompeii.

This would of course cause the Pompeii family to lose the middleman's profits, as the retail price of a barrel of Pompeii wine was now one gold coin.

But the advantage is that this method can instantly expand all sales networks and sell Pompeii wine to every corner of Orange.

For every barrel of wine sold by the agents, the Pompeii family will earn 2.5 silver coins. The more wine is sold, the more money the Pompeii family will earn.

In the short term, the Pompeii family will be able to obtain sufficient funds.

This will solve the current financial embarrassment at home.

Another benefit is that if Pompeii wine is sold in every corner of Orange, sales will increase significantly.

The Pompeii wine workshop will also be upgraded to a large factory.

In order to ensure production volume, the Pompeii factory will recruit a large number of winemaking workers, which will also create jobs in Pompeii and further prosper Pompeii.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Luther was determined to win this trip to the Golden City.

Twenty days later, Luther arrived at the Golden City.

It was midwinter when we set out from Pompeii, but now it is early spring. The main reason is that the team is too large and too bloated, so the pace is naturally very slow.

Luther was getting a little impatient as he walked, thinking.

"When will the train be invented and the tracks laid?"

Orange is a place where railways are laid. There are very few mountains and it is basically plains.

But these are too far away, I have to eat my meal one bite at a time.

Because the whole of Orange is still too chaotic now, with thieves, adventurers, and the new party, what if they destroy the railway? The most important thing is that Orange is still under the rule of the Count of Libya, what if the Count takes a fancy to the railway? At present , the Pompeii family still wants to develop the Pompeii metropolis and have a strong strength.

After Luther arrived at the Golden City, he stopped the team outside the city wall, and then entered the city with a small number of knights and a cart loaded with 100 barrels of Pompeii wine, and headed to the office of the Sabretooth Mercenary Group.

There were two reasons for coming to the Sabretooth Mercenaries. The first reason was that Luther wanted to reminisce with familiar people such as the Tomahawk Knight, the Orleans Knight, and Mr. El, and give them some Pompeii wine as a gift.

This line cannot be lost.

The second reason was that Luther had brought so much Pompeii wine and had nowhere to put it. He planned to put the Pompeii wine in the Sabretooth Mercenary Corps’ base outside the city, which would not only ensure its safety but also save the cost of renting a warehouse.

The cost of renting a warehouse in Golden City is very expensive.

This way you kill two birds with one stone.

Luther is a guy who is very good at saving money.

Luther, Pompey is a respected guy in the entire Sabretooth Mercenary Group, not to mention that the Pompey family is not as good as it used to be.

The Pompeii family was originally a country lord. Sol, Pompeii advertised himself as a mid-level knight, a humble and insignificant family.

The Pompeii family now owns a great knight family.

This is incomparable.

Luther was warmly received by the Battle Axe Knight, the deputy leader of the Sabretooth Mercenary Group. He even asked his mistress and assistant, the female knight, to make a cup of coffee for Luther.

Coffee is not produced in large quantities in the world and is a relatively luxurious drink.

The last time he came, Luther didn't enjoy his coffee.

"Luther, how come you have time to come to Golden City? Shouldn't you be busy with the hot spring resort and the development of Pompeii now?"

The Axe Knight asked curiously.

The affairs of the Pompey family have spread throughout Orange, so even the rough mercenary, the Axe Knight, knows about it.

He was full of emotion about this matter.

Thinking about Pompeii back then, hehe.

If Old Sol hadn't taken out 100,000 gold coins, he wouldn't have bothered Old Sol. Now, with the current reputation of the Pompeii family, no matter where they go, they can enjoy the most basic treatment.

How long did it take for this change to happen?

Less than a year.

Thinking of this, the Axe Knight felt a little sad.

The female knight next to him was also very curious. According to the circumstances, Luther should not appear in the Golden City.

Luther smiled and replied, "I brought a hundred barrels of Pompeii wine as a gift for you, the Sabretooth Mercenaries. The purpose of my visit this time is to open up the market for Pompeii wine."

"Pompeii wine, that's good stuff." The Axe Knight's eyes lit up and his stomach growled, as he was tempted by the wine.

Pompeii wine is a very, very special wine. It is not very popular among the nobles, but ordinary people cannot afford it.

Its target audience is aristocrats with eccentric tastes and middle-class commoners.

The audience is small.

But those who like Pompeii wine are very loyal to it. The mercenaries of the Sabretooth Mercenary Group are particularly fond of this Pompeii wine.

Because the life of mercenaries is too exciting and passionate.

They need strong liquor to get drunk from time to time to soothe their tense nerves.

Even high-ranking knights such as the Tomahawk Knights and the Orleans Knights are not immune to this.

However, the Golden City is too far away from Pompeii, and it is impossible for the mercenary group to send mercenaries specifically to buy Pompeii wine.

So even though the Axe Knights liked to drink Pompeii wine, they rarely got to drink it.

Now Pompeii wine has been sold to the Golden City. Others may not know about it, but the Axe Knight will definitely be the first to support it with both hands and feet.
