Travel through time and become a member of the Warhammer Empire

For some reason, Windlow felt that this Holy Grail Knight was in the same boat with him.

Many times, he can understand the meaning of his words immediately without much explanation. It can also be seen that he has received a lot of education and has a high level of cultural literacy.

This is how cultural people communicate with each other; everything can be explained in one sentence.

The tax and dividend issues have been resolved.

After that, not only did he have someone protecting him in the Empire, but he also had someone protecting him in Bretonnia.

This is how business is. Many capable people cannot do business, not because they are not good enough.

On the contrary, doing business does not require a particularly high IQ, anyone can do it.

The only difficulty lies in the platform and relationships.

Back in the cabin, Windlow began to teach Mousse some basic knowledge in a serious manner.

“Let’s say you want to open a small store, how many people do you need to support?”

"It's just me, do I need a discount?"

Mousse obviously didn't understand what business was all about. If she were asked to chop people, it would be easy and pleasant.

Aside from the Holy Grail Knights, there was no single soldier she feared.

Wendlow shook his head repeatedly, denying Mousse's statement.

“It’s not a small shop that needs to support a lot of people.”

The first thing is the rent, which must be paid. Only after the rent is paid will there be a venue for transactions.

The landlord is someone who must be supported. While supporting the landlord, you can also get a lot of local information from the landlord, who is a local.

The second person who needs to be supported is the tax official. Any production and business activities must pay taxes to the local rulers.

This is understandable. People who do not pay taxes are stupid, but people who pay all taxes are hopelessly stupid. While paying taxes to local rulers, they need to avoid taxes legally as much as possible.

As long as you pay taxes, doing business in such a place is legal and protected by law, temporarily.

The third group that needs to be supported is the local snakeheads. Just like taxes, protection fees are an integral part of life and cannot be separated.

The fourth group of people you need to support are your employees. Only when the people who work for you can taste the benefits will they work hard.

"You made the worst mistake in business, keeping all the money."

That’s right, Windlow immediately found Mousse’s biggest problem.

Dark elves are the most selfish race. They will only keep any benefits for themselves, and at the same time they would like to swallow up the interests of others.

This also makes it difficult for the Dark Elves to trust each other, and they can only be suppressed by force.

If you want to do business, the first step is to learn how to spend money.

"I have no money left! And you are still giving it away! Are you insulting me? Wen! De! Luo!"

It was obvious that Mousse had not learned any lesson, and she had no business ability at all and needed further guidance from Windlow.

Spreading wealth means that the money you earn needs to be distributed and cannot all belong to you.

For example, a bowl of bread costs 10 copper coins, but is finally sold for 50 copper coins.

Among them, 5 copper coins are rent, 5 copper coins are taxes, 5 copper coins are protection fees, 5 copper coins are wages, 5 copper coins are tool depreciation, and 5 copper coins are consumption.

It cost a total of 30 copper coins, and after deducting the cost, I only earned 10 copper coins. This is the money I earned after baking bread and shouting.

The gap from 50 copper coins to 10 copper coins was too big, and Mousse couldn't accept it for a while.

Some people are good at doing business, while some people are destined not to do business.

As the Dread Lord of the Dark Elves, Mousse has another very obvious advantage, which is that he is very self-aware.

Dark elves who are overconfident or overly inferior cannot survive. Mousse, who is clearly aware of his own abilities, has since determined something important.

I will never touch anything related to business again.

He took out the golden emblem sword again and swung it in front of Windlow.

"Fighting and killing is more suitable for me."

It is obvious that penniless Mousse has gotten over his inferiority complex. It turns out that it was not because of his inability, but because he had no training in business.

So now I have to continue training what I am best at so as to continuously increase my confidence.

I have to say that the dark elves are quite correct in this regard.

If a person fails in some place, he will fall into anxiety and inferiority. If he keeps trying and keeps failing, his self-confidence will be eroded little by little, and finally he will completely lose his fighting spirit.

Find what you are good at and work hard at it, as everyone is good at different things.

And so, the task of starting a company once again fell on Windlow's shoulders.

Another month passed and the company was finally established.

The Rantu Foreign Trade Company, jointly signed by Gelt and the Holy Grail Knight, was officially established.

It just so happened that Windlo had Gert's endorsement and was a caravan appointed by the Elector himself, so he could have his own trade routes within the empire.

Although there are gunpowder and gun workshops in the empire, there are only two major companies in the entire empire: the Altdorf Engineering College and the Nuln Gunnery College.

The entire empire, from Nordland in the north to Reikland in the south, all the electoral territories have huge demands for gunpowder and guns.

Ordinary firearms are completely monopolized by the Noon Gunnery Academy, but there are still many markets for low-end firearms that have not been developed.

Batch after batch of inferior gunpowder and firearms were produced in the city of Glamorgan, sold to Marienburg under the banner of the Burning Earth Foreign Trade Company, and then entered the Empire and even Kislev.

The lower-class civilians of the empire were now able to use gunpowder weapons that were once unavailable for purchase, and the peasants of Bretonnia no longer had to work on a single field.

Due to the demand for raw materials for gunpowder, Bretonnia added many new jobs, such as charcoal burners, sulfur miners, and excrement collectors.

The jobs provided enabled some farmers who had fled into the forest because they had no farmland to regain their household registration, and the size of Glamorgan City expanded a bit.

After everything was on track, it was time for Wendlow to leave.

"Leave? Why? Isn't it good to make money here?"

Mousse certainly didn't understand Windlo's behavior. It was best to have fixed assets that could generate continuous profits. This was a basic truth that all dark elves knew.

Windlow did not explain immediately, but picked up a basket of washed carrots and placed it in front of the unicorn.

The latter also sat on the ground and began to eat his favorite meal happily and sadly, because he also knew that it was time to pull the cart again.

"I have shares in the Burning Earth Foreign Trade Company. Every time I earn a gold coin, I can get a share of a copper coin, so now I have to hurry up and do business."

This sentence was only said to Mousse. After all, the city of Glamorgan was the territory of the Holy Grail Knight, with his resources and population. If Windlow continued to stay in the company and develop, he would sooner or later squeeze the power of the Holy Grail Knight.

Leaving now can be considered as a successful retirement and a safe haven for oneself. Windlow has actually accomplished what many great figures in history could not do.

On the eve of leaving in the unicorn carriage, four figures slowly emerged from the city of Glamorgan and followed them all the way.
