Chapter 95 The Prototype of the Chamber of Commerce
What a bad decision!
At this moment, Kalio felt that life was meaningless.
Perhaps it was because Bruno did not do anything out of the ordinary when he first met him, so that Kallio ignored the rumors circulating in the market? He had planned everything, but how could he forget that the Count of Idar, Bruno Stuart, was a guy who never played by the rules!
Bruno looked at Kalio with a smile, hey, I just don't follow martial ethics, what can you do to me? Bruno never took the so-called noble dignity that the nobles emphasized all day long to heart.
What is respectability? Can it be used to make a living? Besides, the original body was a person who did not work properly. If he suddenly had the idea of doing business himself, it would be very consistent with his character.
Seeing Kallio looking deflated, Bruno suddenly felt better.
"My Lord Earl... I don't know about the sea salt business..." Kallio hesitated.
"Are you interested in coming to Idar to work for me?" Bruno answered the question irrelevantly.
Hearing Bruno's words, Kallio shuddered and immediately raised his head.
The Earl in front of him... should be recruiting him? Kalio's brain was working rapidly at this moment...
If he did not agree, I'm afraid the Earl in front of him would never entrust the sea salt business to him. With Bruno Stuart's past reputation, it might not be impossible for him to do business himself.
In order to convince Bruno, he almost revealed all his analysis and inferences. Once the Earl in front of him personally took part in the management, he would definitely not be able to compete.
Besides, Kallio had come to Idar because he had nowhere else to go. If Bruno rejected his proposal, he would probably have to find another way out...
But if I agree...
As one of the important salt-producing areas in the eastern part of the empire, Idar Territory undoubtedly has a large amount of salt output. In addition, Idar Territory also has things like sugar and liquor.
Especially strong liquor! Although there is no difference between strong liquor and low-alcohol liquor, it can be said that everyone has their own preferences, but the strong liquor market is now blank, and there is definitely a lot of room for development! Moreover, the most important thing is that the Count of Idar in front of him does not seem to have a reliable businessman to help him, which means that once he accepts Bruno's recruitment, he will soon be reused!
Coupled with Kallio's previous imagination and speculation about the Idar Territory (see Chapter 26 for details), Kallio suddenly realized that there were many benefits to accepting the Earl's recruitment.
"I am willing to serve the Earl."
It usually doesn't take too much time to talk to an intelligent person. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Kalio decided to accept the invitation from the Earl.
After all, for Kalio, this is his best choice now.
"I plan to set up the Idar Chamber of Commerce, which will mainly distribute goods produced in Idar County." Bruno said.
"I understand...but I don't know what specific responsibilities I should be responsible for?" Kalio quickly got into the role.
"I plan to let you take care of the specific operations of the Idar Chamber of Commerce. In the early stages of its establishment, sea salt and sugar will become the main commodities sold by the Idar Chamber of Commerce."
"Of course, in addition to simply selling goods, you also need to develop stable trade routes and sales channels based on the actual situation of Idar Territory, and use sea salt and sugar to open up foreign markets as much as possible, laying a solid foundation for the further expansion of the Idar Chamber of Commerce in the future."
"I understand, but I don't know...the plan I mentioned earlier..." After hesitating for a moment, Kallio reminded.
Although Lord Bruno had already recruited him under his command, he had never expressed his opinion on intervening in the salt market in other places while the two countries were at war.
"You should also know that I have always been a very cautious person." Bruno thought for a moment and then said.
Hearing this, Kalio couldn't help but secretly complain, I've only ever heard of how outrageous you are at doing things, but I've never heard of you being cautious...
"...I wouldn't have made a decision so easily, but...you are the one I am most optimistic about! As early as the first time you came to Idar Territory to buy salt, I felt that you were extraordinary and wanted to recruit you. However, I always felt that Idar Territory was particularly remote and I was afraid that it would hinder your future."
"Since you took the initiative to surrender this time and your analysis is so reasonable, I will naturally follow your plan. Of course, I will also let Sam Layton cooperate with you." Bruno added.
Bruno would definitely not be at ease if he let Kallio run the entire plan by himself. After all, Kallio had just been recruited by him and his loyalty was still to be considered.
But Bruno would feel much more at ease if he had the assistance of Sam Layton and the soldiers of Idar.
After all, the sea salt business is a big business, and Bruno has to be more careful.
When Kalio heard Bruno's words, he was deeply touched.
So... the Earl had noticed me so long ago?
Kalio was suddenly touched. He... really did follow the right person! "By the way, you should have heard of Soren County, which is north of Idar County, right?" Bruno suddenly said.
"I know." Kallio replied.
"Since you know about Soran Territory, you should also know that there is a salt field in Soran Territory, right?"
"To answer your question, sir, I have also bought sea salt there before." Kallio said cautiously.
"That's easy, Liszt!" Bruno suddenly shouted.
"Here, sir." Liszt came in.
"Ask someone to go to Soran County and tell them that I heard that Soran County has been blackmailed by many nobles since the defeat in the battle of Gran Highlands."
"I, Bruno Stuart, have always been an upright and kind person. I despise such acts of robbery. Therefore, as Earl Solon's most friendly neighbor, based on the principle of peaceful coexistence, I have decided to purchase all the salt produced by Earl Solon in half a year at a 10% premium."
According to Bruno's inference, if the Odin Empire really wanted to start a war, it would probably launch an attack in late summer.
In this way, after crossing the Winter Fortress, Odin's soldiers could directly plunder the first batch of food that the civilians had just harvested.
Half a year later, the price of salt would increase. Instead of letting Soran take the money, it would be better to let Idar take the money.
Since you have decided to seize the opportunity to get involved, then go big, otherwise it will be too boring.
Moreover, even if the Winter Fortress was not breached, other fortresses might be breached.
The area bordering the Norman Empire and the Odin Empire was a vast plain. Apart from the northernmost Winter Fortress, there were dozens of fortresses in a line from west to east. Bruno couldn't believe it. How could the Odin Empire, after preparing for so long, not even be able to break through a single fortress! ...
I discussed it with the editor today and changed the title of the book.
Although the title of the book has been changed to "Your Majesty, Wonders Are Misleading the Country!", the cover is still the cover of "I Will Knock on Wonders". After all, it is the cover I drew myself, and it looks really good!
