The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Next we are going to discuss is the sixth issue of today's meeting - developing territory business and promoting economic growth!"

"Adam, as the new business officer of the territory, you should tell us how you plan to promote the development of the territory's business!" Soran looked at his good brother next to him with a burning gaze.

After all, he knew that his good brother had done a lot of preparatory work in order to better develop business in the new territory.

Moreover, these preparations had already begun before officially heading to the territory!

Adam nodded after hearing this, then stood up confidently and said calmly: "These days, I have summarized the business development models of some territories and found an important conclusion."

"That is, if any territory's business wants to develop on a large scale, it often needs to consider three factors: location, resources, and market!"

"The first one is the 'location' factor, which includes geographical conditions, geographical location and transportation conditions."

"First of all, the geographical conditions. The overall geographical conditions of White Bear Territory are quite good. Most of the area is flat and fertile. Large tracts of high-quality arable land can be developed to provide abundant agricultural and sideline products for the commercial development of the territory."

“But unfortunately, these agricultural and sideline products are not high-quality commodities with high profits in commercial transactions!”

"Then there's the geographical location. The geographical location of White Bear Territory is actually not very good. The Central County and Ganise County, which are directly under the Kingdom, border each other, and the entire White Bear Territory is located right in the middle of these two regions."

"But unfortunately, White Bear Territory is not exactly where the two counties border or are located in the middle."

"Finally, let's talk about transportation conditions. The County Road, which connects the capital of the Kingdom, Sindelair, and the county city, Ganise, runs through the southern part of the White Bear Territory. There are a constant stream of pedestrians and caravans traveling along this road every day."

"But it's still a pity that to the west of our territory, there is already a hereditary noble territory, Viscount Molson's Baden City!"

"And with the size of Baden City, it is fully capable of serving as a transit station for merchants, and can undertake all kinds of services and needs required by all the merchants passing through the County Avenue."

"So, if we want to compete with Viscount Molson's Baden City in the service industry, it is actually not very realistic!"

But at this point, Adam suddenly changed his words:

"But I still suggest that White Bear Territory needs to build a new village at the fork in the road where the county road meets our territory road."

“The specific reasons are as follows:

First, the County Road connects Central County and Ganise County. Since there are many merchants traveling between the two places every day, once the village is established, it can still play a certain role in promoting commercial services.

Second, this newly built village can serve as a propaganda outpost for the White Bear Territory to showcase the existence of our White Bear Territory. This way, when the roads in the White Bear Territory are repaired or the territory is developed, it will be able to attract passing merchants or people to enter the territory more quickly, thereby increasing the passenger flow of Flanders Town and finally driving the commercial development of the entire territory!

Third, building a new village at this fork in the road will make it easier for the people to settle here and cultivate the newly opened farmland nearby. If we add the previous meeting's decision to build a village in the middle of the road, the three villages can be connected in a straight line, making it easier to cultivate the newly opened farmland near the entire road."

"Second is the 'resources' factor, which is also divided into general resources or special resources."

"Ordinary resources refer to general resources that are widely distributed and relatively easy to collect or harvest, such as food, wood, stone, etc."

"Special resources refer to: resources with regional characteristics in distribution, such as various metals (mainly gold, silver, copper and iron), salt, sulfur, special agricultural products, etc."

"For these common resources, if the territory has a large and stable supply, it can help promote the rapid development of commerce; and for those special resources, as long as the territory is distributed and can be easily mined, it can also quickly promote the development of the territory's commerce."

"Among the resources we know about in White Bear Territory, common resources include food, stone, wood, etc. As for special resources, these need to be explored by professionals to know!"

“The third factor is the ‘market’ factor, and the decisive factor in forming the market is human needs.”

“Market demand will only be formed when people have demand, and the more people there are, the greater the market demand will be, and the larger the market scale and prospects will be.”

"I don't need to say much about how many people there are in the entire White Bear Territory, so overall, the market demand or market size of the entire White Bear Territory is actually relatively small, which makes it difficult to promote the development of White Bear Territory's business."

"But the new people-friendly policies proposed by the young master have brought new changes to the market demand in White Bear Territory, because the money in the hands of the people has increased, and the purchasing power of the people has increased, which has driven an increase in market demand."

"So, if we can intensify the publicity, it may have some unexpected effects, thus promoting the development of the territory's business."

At this point, Adam concluded: "In short, the commercial development of our White Bear Territory is actually quite difficult. It would be best if we could explore for special minerals or cultivate special products. This will attract more foreign caravans to come and do business, which in turn will boost the development of the territory's business."

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap..." Warm applause suddenly rang out, and everyone waved their hands and applauded loudly.

But this time the applause was not led by Soran, but others voluntarily applauded for Adam.

Now, after listening to Adam's in-depth and easy-to-understand narration, they all showed surprised expressions with their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open.

The look in his eyes was full of admiration.

Sauron thought they had good suggestions, and he was very happy and expectant!

But since no one had spoken for a long time, he directly asked Ramos, who was the first to lead the applause: "Ramos, do you have any good suggestions or additions to what Adam said?"

"Ah?" Ramos was stunned, but he immediately answered directly and swiftly: "No, Master, no, I don't know anything about how to promote the business development of the territory!"

"Then why are you clapping? It's just nonsense!" Sauron curled his lips helplessly.

"Master, even though I didn't understand a word you said, I was deeply shocked by what Master Adam said!" Ramos had a simple and honest expression on his face. "I didn't expect that there are so many ways to develop the business in this territory!"

Soran rolled his eyes at him and pouted even more: "Okay, sit down! You are embarrassing yourself!"

Soran then looked at the other people present.

Then they all lowered their heads in unison and said nothing.

[Everyone: You can’t see me, you can’t see me…]

Apparently, these are also a bunch of people who just enjoy the “I didn’t understand, but was greatly shocked” kind of thing.

【Sauron: ……】

Seeing this, Soran could only helplessly say: "Okay, let's stop discussing the issue of territory business development today. Since no one knows how to operate, I won't force you to talk about it!"

Business development is a profound subject. It is really difficult for people without professional training or practical experience to understand the tricks, let alone give good advice.

"There is no need to rush to develop the territory's business for the time being. Let's start other projects that need to be implemented and developed and get them on track first."

"However, the village that Adam just mentioned can be built first. The role it can play in the development of the entire territory is still quite significant!"

If this village is established, it will achieve multiple goals at one stroke, which is obvious.

Especially when it comes to promoting territory, this is much better than asking people to do the promotion.

After all, the caravans along this route traveled far and wide, were well-informed, and spread the news widely.

When you pass by, you can not only stay overnight, but also have a bowl of water and take a rest.

At this time, we can promote the White Bear Collar to them.

They even built a "White Bear Leader" storefront directly on the main road or put up banners for promotion.

As the popularity of White Bear Territory increases, those businessmen will naturally come here.

Wouldn’t he be able to develop this business in this way?
