"Wait a minute, I understand what you mean next, but have you ever thought about this question, how much money is needed to support a branch in each city, and once we set the lowest price for the drinks, what will those who come to pick up the goods from us think?"

"Although I haven't been to places too far away, I have heard that the outside world is not peaceful. Robbers and some bandits are rampant. Have you ever thought about the losses caused during transportation?"

Charles broke out in a cold sweat and kept stammering.

"Alas, it seems that direct operation is not possible at this stage." Lin Xingchen had no choice but to cross out the direct operation method and instead talked to the fat man about another model.

"Fatty, let me ask you, can we do this? Our kingdom has a total of 17 provinces. I will give out 17 qualifications, each representing one province.

For example, if you have obtained the qualification of my Maple Leaf Province, then I will give the goods you need to you alone to sell in the Maple Leaf Province. No one else has this qualification. What do you think? "Since direct sales are not possible, then it should be no problem to switch to being an agent for your own goods without worrying about sales.

Charles was a little surprised at the method proposed by Lin Xingchen. After all, such a method had never been seen or even heard of on the mainland.

But if you think about it carefully, there are operational problems in many things here. As long as you handle them well, you can enjoy the most delicious bite.

"Master, your idea is feasible, but there are still some problems. For example, how can we obtain this qualification? After obtaining this qualification, how to transport the goods and who will pay for it? And if someone violates the rules and sells in other provinces, how will they be punished?"

“Charles, none of your questions are actually very important. For example, regarding the qualification issue you mentioned, you now have sixteen competitors, but I am the only supplier. So the first condition I propose is this.

"It's fine if you want to get the goods from me, but you have to deliver them yourself. If you don't accept this condition, you can't become an agent. Let me ask you, what will you choose at this time?

This means that the power to set qualifications is in my hands, and I will set the conditions based on what is beneficial to me.

You have the right to choose not to, or you can choose to talk to me slowly. As for your other things, they are not under discussion. "When Lin Xingchen said this, his eyes flashed with the look of a profiteer.

"Master, what if they all unite and refuse to do so?"

"Won't I find 17 people who are willing to accept this condition? Don't forget that we are the only one in the entire Plano continent that can provide these supplies.

There are more than just these seventeen people who need our goods. As long as we can provide them with something they can’t, they will have to accept our conditions.”

"As for how to punish those who cross the line, it's very simple. Tell them that if you break the rules, the price of your goods will increase next year."

"Charles, you don't need to worry about how to formulate the qualifications for the time being. You just need to do the things in front of you. Also, since our Xingchen Commercial Bank can't be operated for the time being, you will serve as the president of my current Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce."

Since alcoholic beverages use this agency model, then sugar, cooking oil and medicines should also be treated in the same way.

"You will be quite busy during this period. I hope you can get familiar with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible. After you are familiar with the Chamber of Commerce, you can help me spread the word about the agency model and let those who have ideas come to discuss it."

"Okay, young master. I will do everything with my heart."

"By the way, Charles, there is one thing I have been forgetting to tell you, and that is about your compensation.

Since you have chosen to help me, I cannot treat you unfairly. I will give you 3% of our Chamber of Commerce's net profit every year. What do you think?"

"Master, is this appropriate? It's too much!" Charles was completely stunned. Although 3% seems small now, it will not be a small amount once the agency model is successful.

I give you so much because I hope you can work hard for me. And you have to listen carefully, it is 3% of Maple Leaf Commercial Bank, not 3% of my Maple Leaf Leader.

"Master, don't scare me. How dare I think about the money Maple Leaf earns? I would never dare to have such an idea even if you kill me!" Charles explained quickly.

Okay, go back and look at the information, and then go and get your household registration done so that you won’t have any psychological burden when doing things.

Although Fatty doesn't understand what psychological burden is, it is a reassuring thing to get his household registration done as soon as possible.

A makeshift team has its advantages, that is, there is not so much trouble in transferring personnel, and they can be used whenever they are needed. And with the addition of Charles, Lin Xingchen's Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce also looks like a chamber of commerce.

The fat guy officially took office as the president of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce half a month later. Although not many people congratulated him, there was still a lively celebration. On the one hand, it was to celebrate Charles' joining, and on the other hand, Lin Xingchen was celebrating that he could finally get rid of the affairs of these prisoners.

The arrival of Charles gave hope to the slaves who were originally in his hands. After all, a lord who was willing to take in even the most evil slave traders would never deceive these slaves who had nothing.

The first thing Fatty did after joining the company was the issue of fruit. As July approached, the fruits of the fruit farmers were put on the market. Countless merchants flocked in, threw out handfuls of gold coins, and then took away carts of various fruits while cursing.

The culprit, Charles, was the target of the merchants' curse. Charles showed a price list to every fruit merchant who came to purchase goods.

The table increased the prices of all fruits by half, which meant that the merchants would earn less gold coins, while the fruit farmers were all happily praising their little lords.

The period when a large number of fruits are on the market is also the time when grapes are ripe. In previous years, Lin Xingchen arranged people to pick fresh grapes. This year, Lin Xingchen asked Anastasia to do this. Since Anastasia had been with her daughter in school for half a month, she learned that her daughter's classmates were all civilians, and she learned some things from these children.

Only then did Anasta really believe that the child who bought them was a truly benevolent lord. After that, she joined the Chamber of Commerce. With her wisdom, she was promoted to the position of senior steward by Charles in just half a month.

This woman is a natural manager. Many things that seem difficult even to Charles can be solved perfectly and quickly in her hands.

Such talent alarmed Lin Xingchen. After seeing her means and methods of handling affairs, he quickly transferred her to work in the lord's mansion. This change allowed her and her daughter to immediately get rid of their status as slaves and become citizens of Maple Leaf Territory.

After that, he was assigned to be the steward of the manor, responsible for coordinating all the workshops and plantations in the manor.

Such power is not small at all. The plantations and factories that affect the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people have tens of thousands of people obeying their commands.

The woman seemed to have her passion activated by this trust, and she swept away all the previous gloom and did her job very well.

Such an outstanding talent was naturally received by the real lord, Duke Green. After a conversation, Green praised her contributions to Maple Leaf Territory and exercised his right as a duke to grant her the title of baron.

Also received by Green was Charles, the president of the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce. This guy also won the title of knight. Although knights are not among the fifth-class nobles, they are the easiest group of people to be awarded nobility.

The transformation from a slave trader to a knight made countless businessmen jealous, and a slave becoming a baron for the first time was even more crazy.

For a time, those who thought they had some abilities were all very motivated, just to get such an honor.

Lin Xingchen was the driving force behind all of this. It took Charles half a year to get the Maple Leaf Chamber of Commerce back on track, and it grew bigger and bigger. Although such achievements were his job, Lin Xingchen still planned to use him to achieve his own goals.

Giving him the title of knight was already the maximum limit of Green's tolerance. After all, it was really difficult for Green, an orthodox duke, to perform the ceremony of knighting a former slave trader. However, Green had a different attitude towards Anasta and her daughter.

After chatting with the mother and daughter, he learned that the previous mother was a marquise. This touched the old man's kind nerves, and he gave her the baronship that should have belonged to Charles.

The fat guy was not depressed after learning about this. Instead, he sincerely congratulated Anasta. Although no one knew whether he was sincere or not, the fat guy worked harder than before.

Looking at the first snow falling outside the window, Lin Xingchen put down the magic pen in his hand, opened the window and took a deep breath.

After this year I will be fifteen years old. I don’t know what next year will be like, but I hope everything goes well.

Just as he was immersed in his own thoughts, a snowball hit him on the forehead accurately. He shook the snow off his body and saw Evelyn and Alice holding snowballs and preparing to attack.

Looking at the snowball flying towards him, Lin Xingchen didn't bother to dodge and with a wave of his right hand, the snowball disappeared without a trace before it reached his head.

Then he used a first-level wind magic, Gale, to control the magic form and roll up large pieces of snow to throw at the two beautiful girls downstairs.

Evelin was naturally unwilling to give up, so she used a flame shield to defend herself, and then threw ice arrows at Lin Xingchen. Alice continued to release water balls to assist.

After once again using space magic to block the attacks of the two people, Lin Xingchen closed the window and ignored the two crazy girls.
