I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

The stalls in the tent are divided into different areas according to product categories—from the first step when the merchants borrowed money to buy goods from the processing factory, Doton asked the merchants to discuss what they mainly bought according to the main business items of their firms. Try to stagger the types of goods purchased by each firm, not only to ensure that each firm reserves enough goods, but also to avoid internal competition.

In such a big place as Velvet, there are less than [-] businesses in total. This is still counting some small businesses and small shops that have nothing to do with Warcraft products. It is more than enough to be stuffed into a big tent. In order to appear more lively, Dalton also arranged for jugglers and minstrel performances between the stalls, and the roads were lined with sculptures and flowers.

When the merchants got off the carriage, they were handed out a leaflet by one person. On one side of the leaflet was a painting of Velveer's landmark, the Munn Mountains, with the words [Welcome to the Velvet Winter Fair] written on the other side of the leaflet. It is the booth map of the trade fair, which clearly marks the location area of ​​various commodities.

Where are leather products, where are felt weaving products, where are the by-products processed from monster hoof fat, etc. There are also special booths for high-end monster products, so that they can find the location of their target products, and list other areas at the same time , attracting them to visit other places as well.

Because the variety of goods on each stall is very concentrated, there is no need to shop around, not to mention that the prices marked on each stall are as cheap as jumping off a building. Businessmen like them who have been doing business for many years see the prices Immediately, they could mentally calculate the final cost price plus commercial tax—the figure was so low that they placed an order directly without even thinking about it.

Such a cheap thing, as long as the quality is not too bad, no matter how you sell it, you can make money.

The buyer is proud to spend a lot of money, opening his mouth to cover the whole audience. On the contrary, it is the first time for the seller to deal with such a big business. They calculate the inventory and then calculate the price. They can't help but carefully remind them that they have a lot of inventory. No matter how cheap the unit price is, buy them all. It is also a huge sum of money.

Well, huge sums of money for them.

"As long as you have a small amount of goods, cash transactions are fine." The buyer said indifferently that the amount of money was sprinkled, and he also disliked that their quantity of goods was not enough, and he could eat more.

"There are indeed only these now..." the seller wiped his sweat, recalled the words of the pre-sales training, emphasized the word [now], and said, "If you still need it, wait another three days, and a new batch of goods will be delivered soon." It’s coming up, it’s about the same price, and we can also deliver it to your cargo ship for free.”

"Yes, only during this period of time will the goods be more concentrated. If you have a fancy one, hurry up and start, our craftsmen will have to rest for a while after winter."

Thanks to them for the pre-sales training they have done many times before the exhibition. Doton wrote a lesson plan for each person, and taught them how to negotiate with these big businessmen. According to Lucien's thinking, they will do business with big business associations outside. Opportunities are plentiful, and there is no harm in learning in advance these doorways that they have not been able to reach before.

At the very least, they must have an understanding of the acquisition capabilities of their future buyers. If a small business is worthless, it will only make people underestimate their cards and desperately lower the price.

Sure enough, upon hearing that there will be replenishment in the future, the buyer immediately asked: "Is there such a large volume in three days? We have a long-term demand for this kind of goods. I can order the next batch now, and you can continue to supply in the future." goods?"

Free delivery on the ship can save them a lot of shipping fees and taxes. Although it is not expensive to hire a carriage and find some labor, who would not like such a good thing like free shipping.

"If we want to supply for a long time, we have to confirm the situation with the factory, but the next two batches can be ordered, and we need to pay one-third of the payment in advance as a deposit." The seller said, "Don't worry, we can still sign a magic contract. The trade fair has cooperation with the mage union, and this time we specially invited a mage who can preside over the ceremony, so we don’t have to go to the union hall.”

This exhibition can be said to be the service that can be done to the end. The center of the venue is specially surrounded as a contract signing area. Officials from the Wilvelde County Government will notarize the contract, and the mage will host it for buyers and sellers who need magic contracts. The ceremony, and people from the financial department collected taxes on the spot.

That is to say, after the buyer and the seller have negotiated the price, they can go directly to the contract signing area to sign the contract for filing and then pay taxes according to the contract amount. They can go through all the official procedures of commodity transactions in the venue and get the transaction permit. And the tax payment certificate, no need to go to the county government to run relationship and other approvals, the process is long and you have to pay the clerk.

How about such a smooth and silky buying and selling process...

It's so cool.

It's so cool that people can't control their buying hands.

At the beginning, the seller was still counting the money that was about to enter the account, Xiaoxin signed the contract with trembling hands, but after signing a few more times and experiencing buyers scrambling to raise prices in order to grab the goods, they have been able to manage to treat the money in the contract as money. Just numbly doing math problems of addition, subtraction, and multipliers, and calculating this unprecedented huge profit.

I even couldn't help but have the mentality of "just borrow more money from the county government and buy more".

After the buyers happily shopped in the goods display area, they were taken by the reception staff to the experience area of ​​Velvetre specialty products, where local specialty products such as basil honey and special cheese from Noble Manor were displayed. They could Taste food and drinks on the spot, and then buy some as souvenirs to take back home.

Although Doton gave them special gifts in the name of the Duke of Velvet when the merchants came, but such things as local specialties always feel uninteresting if you don’t buy them yourself, and the weather is too cold and there are no suitable experience items. Otherwise, it would be a reception arrangement with local characteristics to take them for a walk in the Rollus flower field and then go climbing in the safe area of ​​the Moon Mountains.

Of course, for these well-informed businessmen who often go to neighboring countries, Velvet's special products are not very attractive, but the "special products" that Doton really puts in the special production area are not those Common products such as honey and ham.

It’s the beautiful Halls who wear bright and gorgeous national costumes and act as shopping guides at the stalls—after being repeatedly brainwashed by the lord for a long time, Doton can also appreciate that the Halls are not in line with the mainstream aesthetics, but they are indeed pretty. It's beautiful.

Especially when wearing national costumes, the strong colors give people a strong impression.

The Hall tribe only dresses up on important occasions, except for the banquet held by the lord specially for them. Generally, this important occasion refers to the festival within the tribe. In other words, outsiders are not allowed to enter. Few people have seen this side of the Hall tribe. .

Therefore, most people see that the Hall family is covered in gray cloaks, exuding a gloomy and mysterious atmosphere, which makes people want to retreat when they look at it from a distance. Notoriously not to trade at a loss, the impression left in the bargaining will naturally not be so glamorous.

But Huoer is obviously suitable for bright and gorgeous dresses, brightly colored clothes, jingling earrings, and a naturally tall, slender and light posture, like a bird with beautiful feathers, dark skin and cold eyes. It has a unique wild charm, and people can't take their eyes off just standing there.

In order for the Hall family to take over the business, Dalton paid a lot of money. The Halls all commented that this kind of inexplicable business of sending money to the door is crazy, but the task only requires them to go to the booth at random. There is no sales target for Zhanzhan, so if you don’t make such a good money, you won’t make it for nothing.

The halls were all ready to be kept at a respectful distance from the empty booth, but they didn't expect that the merchants who were brought by the reception staff only hesitated outside the booth for three seconds, and rushed in with their eyes shining as if they had discovered a new world. That momentum...

The experienced Hall mercenaries instinctively took half a step back.

Dangerous!

Facts have also proved that their intuition is correct. These blind-eyed guys buy souvenirs just as a cover to talk to them. From their earrings to their clothes, chattering is more noisy than the Hall clan for communicating with outsiders. cognition.

There are also merchants in the business of felt and woven clothing who have taken a fancy to the clothes they wear. The bright colors and patterns are unique. If they can be mass-produced and sold, there should be good sales.

I just don’t know if this is related to the belief of the Hall tribe. After all, it is the sun, the moon, the bird and the river, which are not like ordinary patterns. What if this is the symbol of the moon goddess? Only Muenna’s followers can wear it. It might offend people.

"Ah...no." The young Hall, who was caught asking non-stop, replied straightforwardly, "It's just for looking good."

After thinking for a while, he added: "There are also floral and curly grass patterns that are popular outside, and they just pick the ones that look good and put them on."

Perhaps the earliest patterns had religious meanings, but as time went by, the Huor tribe began to focus on mercenaries, and as more people went out, the characteristics of the outside were integrated into the national characteristics. The character of the Huore tribe determined that they would not Especially old-fashioned and old-fashioned, he is very good at absorbing good things from outside and turning them into his own.

The merchants realized that they seemed to have dug up a shiny gold mine in Velverde—this style of clothes and accessories is rare in the whole continent, but they are indeed beautiful, bright and attractive, and Hall Where is the gimmick of the family, if it is properly operated, the market will definitely be considerable.

It's just that when they wanted to chat with the Halls about more in-depth business cooperation topics, the answers they got were all "you have to ask the lord", "I don't know this, it was arranged by the lord", and so on.

If they could choose, the merchants would of course be more willing to do business with the Hall clan who are not familiar with the twists and turns in business. Although Duke Velvet is young, he has no less twists and turns in his stomach than them, so you have to use official channels to talk to him. In the clear way, many tax avoidance methods and black-box operations cannot be used, and the profits will be much less.

——This is what Lucien wanted.

Velvet's business environment is still in its infancy, and all industries are immature in the face of huge funds from outside. While actively introducing foreign investment to stimulate local economic development, we must also carefully consider the impact of foreign investment and every aspect. The terms of the contract, so that you don't have to work hard to make wedding clothes for others.

It was also Lucien's idea to push the Hall family out at the fair.Except for the mercenaries, the rest of the population of the Hall tribe is basically closed in the village, which is a waste of labor. Moreover, the source of income of the Hall tribe is also very single except for the mercenaries. The income per capita is actually very low when the mercenaries are removed, and it is small. Large-scale clusters are scattered, and the ability to resist risks in various senses is very poor.

The Hall tribe occupies so many people in Velvet, if they don't increase their construction speed up to Lucien's city construction speed, they will definitely be stuck. Otherwise, why would Lucien forcefully build the road to the entrance of their village, and forcefully move the road to the entrance of their village? Free education is included in their Warcraft Suppression quest rewards.

Improve the level of education, increase the source of income, and adjust the industrial structure. There are more choices, and not everyone has to be a mercenary, especially those girls from the Hall tribe. Most of them are not talented enough to meet the requirements of the mercenary team. After living in the village for a lifetime, it would be better to work as a female worker in a factory or dress up as a salesperson in a store. They can earn money and Lucien can also be used as a labor force. What a great thing to kill two birds with one stone.

In addition, the Hall family came out and formed a "ordinary" relationship with the outside world that is more in line with common people's cognition. At least in Velvet, their image will be much better. Inclusiveness is actually very strong, subtly allowing the Hall clan to truly integrate into Velvet.

Alas, this is all great labor.
