"My plan is to form an escort team with personnel from both sides, and then transport a large amount of valuable goods directly to the Sharpnero Empire, and then hand them over to those nobles. We can earn ten times the difference.

I have calculated that the price of the most common maple leaf red wine is one silver coin per bottle, and after it is transported to Shapnero, it will take about five silver coins to break even. So if we sell it to the local nobles at ten times the price, we can make a net profit of five silver coins."

"Isn't the fivefold profit worth your attention? I've calculated our maximum transportation volume. We can transport about 50,000 bottles of red wine at a time, 10,000 kilograms of white and brown sugar, and about 3,000 kilograms of tea.

If there are more, we will have to send more people to the escort team, which will be a bit of a loss. "Owen obviously did his homework and quickly listed some data.

"We can make a net profit of about 100,000 gold coins this time. 100,000 gold coins! Even the tax revenue of the territory under my Duke Griffin is less than 60,000 gold coins a year."

"It is indeed a big business. Then tell me about the distribution issue in the future." After doing some calculations, Lin Xingchen felt that as long as the plantation was established, the number could be magnified and it would be a good business. The most important thing was that he didn't need to worry about it.

"We will split the profits 50-50. You may suffer a loss in the early stage, but you will definitely make money later. I can see further than George. You can be the technical provider of the supply, and I have sufficient manpower and land.

You provide the technology and I provide these things, there is no gap between us." Owen was already very excited at this time.

“If you value technology, then you should know that technological development requires funding. My cooperation with George has a prerequisite, which is that I will selectively teach him technology.

Your request is to share all my technology, so I am the loser in the end." Lin Xingchen's focus is different from Owen's. Technology and seeds are his greatest assets. Once he gives up these, he will inevitably lose both talent and talent.

After a moment of hesitation, Owen took a sip of the teacup and spoke again: "Lin, I didn't think it through. We can discuss the details slowly. As long as we can reach an agreement before the snow melts, we will have time."

"It seems that you have been prepared for me to have reasons to refuse!" Lin Xingchen once again looked at this man who looked like a playboy. He was indeed very good at hiding his true intentions and was also very patient. No wonder he was able to rise to the top in one fell swoop.

"I can't tell you the specific distribution numbers. After all, I haven't calculated the gap. It will probably take some time." After pondering for a long time, Lin Xingchen still did not give a final answer.

"That's as it should be. After all, there are tens of thousands of gold coins involved. But I have time to wait."

"That's all for today! By the way, Owen, I have a personal question for you. Why did you bring Steve here?"

"Haha... Since I want to cooperate with you, I naturally have to find out everything about you.

Grandpa Green was in a hurry to save you, so Steve repeatedly made things difficult for him. I guess even if Grandpa Green didn't mind it, you would still mind it. Otherwise, you wouldn't hate believers so much."

"It just so happens that this guy is in my territory and I hate him too, so I brought him here for you. I also thought that it would be difficult for you to vent your anger if I brought him here, so I helped him find something to do so that you would have a chance to take action."

Lin Xingchen smiled and said, "Those followers are not your people!"

"Of course, they are the old men who followed my eldest brother. I don't know how annoying they are."

"Let me lend you my hand to break their hands. I won't mention that. They deserve it anyway. But aren't you afraid that Steve will take revenge on you after he figures it out if you cheat him like this?"

"If he has the guts, of course he can, but there are many people like him in the Church of Light." Owen said with disdain when talking about Steve.

"Rest here for a while. I'll take you to see something new in two days. Something that will drive people even crazier than sugar."

"Hahaha... I knew you were up to something good. Looks like I made the right bet this time." At this moment, Owen showed no trace of the arrogance he had when they first met or the arrogance he had in front of the church.

I walked out of the Chamber of Commerce and looked at the sky. It was gloomy and it was estimated that it would snow soon.

"Charles, get ready! It's going to snow soon, and please treat Mr. Owen well. Don't neglect him."

"Don't worry, Master. I understand."

"I'm going back. By the way, I forgot to tell you that you should gather those accountants together in the next two days. I need them." After giving some instructions, he got into the carriage and went back.

These two days, after finishing his homework, Lin Xingchen talked with Owen in detail about Sharpnero. Although he already had a good idea in his mind, Lin Xingchen still planned to bring it up at the end.

"Master, we calculated that the best share is actually 60%. In fact, Mr. Owen would agree to 70%, but I guess he will eventually get our full set of technology and go it alone. In this way, we will suffer some losses after all, our shortcomings are very obvious."

"Okay, I understand. I will go talk to him. Charles, you will have a hard time from now on. You will need to help with many things.

"Master, you are joking. This is all my job."

“Take care of yourself. By the way, see if there are any people in our territory who are worth training. Gather them and lead them. Then you will have people to use. Don’t worry about their backgrounds, as long as they are capable and trustworthy.

Call your son here too, I have heard from Anasta that it is a waste of talent to let your son manage a mill."

"Thank you, young master. I will arrange it together when the time comes." Charles was shaking with joy. His son caught the young master's eye, which proved that he would have a better future than himself.

"Okay, arrange the carriage. I want to take our new partner to see the silk and let him know our strength."

Several cars entered the factory one after another. Anasta and Barry had been waiting for a long time.

"Greetings, Young Master, and Lord Griffin." After the few people saluted, they began to lead Lin Xingchen and others on a tour.

The main explanation was to Owen, so Anasta spoke slowly and in detail.

"Because it is winter now, there is no way to show Lord Griffin some of our previous processes. We can only start from spinning."

"The entire factory can accommodate two thousand people working at the same time. What we are going to look at now is spinning." He pointed to the women in front who were constantly shaking the spinning wheels.

"They are all spinners. They also planted mulberry trees and received silkworm seeds at home. Next year will be the first year of silk production in our territory."

"Although there are still a lot of them now, they are all produced by our own territory, so the quantity is always a problem."

Lin Xingchen picked up a piece of silk thread and looked at it. Almost all of them were made up of five silk threads.

"Master, after the workers' exploration, someone has successfully spun four silk threads and woven silk." Anasta told him in time.

"Well, remember, as long as you make a contribution, you need to reward it. Don't be too stingy." The next thing is weaving. Lin Xingchen really has no way to do this kind of thing, but fortunately, the knowledge gained from the light ball includes some methods to improve the loom, but Lin Xingchen can't come up with it all at once.

"Anastasia, how are you guys progressing with improving the machine?"

"Master, this is progressing very quickly. We have been trying with the drawings you provided, and the four silk threads are the best result."

"Take your time. You don't need to wait until everything is confirmed before making a major replacement."

He picked up a piece of woven silk and handed it to Owen: "Owen, look at this fabric. This will be our main goal of making money in the future."

Picking up the silk and kneading it continuously, Owen said with a blush on his face, "You don't need to introduce it to me. I have already heard about all the benefits of silk.

I am not afraid to tell you that the main reason why I accepted your 60% to 40% split in the early stage was for this reason."

"I got a few handkerchiefs from the noble ladies in the capital and brought them to Sharpnero. You can't imagine how crazy these ladies and nobles were."

"Is this powerful? You can make them crazy with just a few handkerchiefs?" Lin Xingchen still didn't quite believe it.

"Only nobles can truly understand nobility. Although you are a noble, you are an outlier. You can't imagine what the scene will be like once this kind of fabric is made into clothes." When Owen said this, it was not clear whether it was a mockery or a hint.

Lin Xingchen touched his nose and did not refute or get angry. Such trivial matters did not interest him at all. In his eyes, nobility was just an identity that allowed him to be more free.

"Now that you know, that's even better. I will provide you with enough seeds in the early spring of next year. These are the mulberry trees that are most important for breeding snow silkworms. You need to think carefully about how much to plant then."

"No need to think about it. Just give me enough seeds and I will plant the trees you mentioned in all my territories and areas under my control."

"Then we will teach those idle women and poor people how to raise snow silkworms and what you are doing now."

"By the way, Lin, why is the snow silkworm you mentioned called the snow silkworm?"

"That's because they can only grow in winter, but I used magical cultivation to change their habits so that they can grow in spring."

"So I've always said that magic is a good thing, but it's a pity that I don't have the talent, otherwise I would definitely learn it from you, but I don't know if it's difficult or not."
