Roland pondered for a while, and then remembered that the United Chamber of Commerce was a cooperative supply and marketing organization that was created under his leadership, and its main members were wealthy businessmen from several large islands in the fjord. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although the negotiations last autumn reached a basic consensus, Evelyn's Chaos Drink was still far from being able to be sold in bulk at that time, so the various chambers of commerce only brought back a few samples and did not start selling them officially, and this time they should have come for this purpose.

Due to the Winter Offensive and the Desert Initiative, as well as the entire Western Frontier preparing for the unification of the kingdom, he put the matter of the United Chamber of Commerce behind him for a while. Now the other party took the initiative to find him, which saved him a lot of effort.

"Lead them to the drawing-room, and I'll be there later," Roland commanded. After Barov had promised to leave, he turned to Nightingale, "Go and tell Tilly and Wendy to come to the castle as well, this is the first business that the League of Witches and Sleeping Isle have done in cooperation with them." ”

Walking into the parlor, several businessmen immediately stood up and bowed to him.

Except for her old acquaintance Margaery, Garmor and Marlan of the Moonmoon Bay Chamber of Commerce, Roland remembered the names of several others, namely the Nibelon of the Watershed City Chamber of Commerce and Etiye of the Sunset Island Chamber of Commerce.

As soon as he sat down, Nibelon couldn't wait to speak, "Your Majesty, the sample I brought back last time caused a great sensation among the merchants on the island, but no one who has tasted it has not praised its novelty taste. I'm willing to bet that once it starts selling, the Chaos Drink will be the most successful item Fjord has ever seen!"

"And it's not just a drink," echoed Etier, "for example, the fiery red spicy juice, which doesn't quench your thirst but is delicious when poured over steamed fish or grilled meat, and can be used to ward off the cold and refresh your liquor even more effectively than your liquor – at least the latter is too dizzy to enjoy while sailing, while the former doesn't have this problem at all!"

"Indeed," Margaery smiled and nodded, "not only the merchants, but also many explorers have noticed the Chaos Drink. After all, a drink that keeps them warm from the cold and has no side effects may save their lives in the event of a shipwreck. ”

"So I'd suggest that the different Chaos drinks be divided into different prices," Etiah continued, "and a product with a special effect like this can sell for a higher price with a little publicity – not to mention that they still drink one bottle less." ”

This was obviously using it as a functional drink, and Roland gave him an approving look, and sure enough, the merchants who could make a big deal in the fjord had a good marketing eye, and through a small number of samples, they realized that this was actually a variety of different commodity categories. For such goods, the best way to squeeze their value is to price them separately based on their characteristics.

"Since the response is so good, then we can proceed to the next step of sales according to the contract signed before," Roland said, "Whether it is the order amount or the proportion of regional sales, you should have no objections." However, you need to pay 30% in advance to pick up the goods, so you should have enough gold dragons, right?"

Since the main terms of the Joint Chamber of Commerce had been negotiated years ago, there were not many details to be discussed. He invited Tilly here primarily to witness the result, to show that he wasn't playing tricks on the amount of money. After all, the other party not only promised to stay in Neverwinter in the future, but also promised to move the witches of the Sleeping Island to the west in batches, and he also had to show his sincerity.

According to the "win-win bet" during the evil moon, 30% of the advance payment and the final sales amount will belong to the reward fund, which will be shared by the town hall, the Witch League, and the Maleficent.

"Of course, Your Majesty," said Nibelon, grinning, "this time there is not even a single box of goods on my ship, except for the craftsmen and sailors, and the rest are yellow coins. ”

"Then let's go inspect the goods now," Roland smiled.

......

The purpose-built beverage factory for Evelyn is located opposite the alcohol factory, but it's more of a well-guarded warehouse than a factory.

It occupies a small area, the first floor is only more than 100 square meters, itself is a brick and concrete structure, there are no windows on all sides, the only entrance and exit is a thick iron door, and there are recruits of the first army outside the door to be responsible for guarding, just like a military important place.

Roland led the merchants through the courtyard gate, into the bungalow, and down the stairs into the basement, and everyone's vision instantly widened a lot. I saw that the area underground was about three or four times larger than that on the ground, and the rows of wooden shelves were neatly arranged, like a manor wine cellar. In order to avoid irreparable damage from fire, no open flames or wires are allowed, and patio lighting is used to provide illumination, so it is still a little dim.

Each row of wooden shelves was filled with two layers of barrels, not every barrel of course, containing a Chaos drink. Evelyn could only make one bucket a day, and so far there were only a hundred of them—minus the share that Roland had swallowed up and distributed to the members of the Witch League each month.

Roland knocked on the barrel, and a dull sound suddenly came from inside, "This place can provide twenty barrels of Chaos Drink a month, and on average, it is five barrels per chamber of commerce." It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as the production doesn't change, it's the same number, so it's the same once every three months or once every six months. A total of 100 barrels of drinks you can take with you on this trip are on the first row of wooden racks, and if there is no problem with the inspection, I will send someone to transport them to the docks. ”

"Won't you let us try the taste?" said Garmor in surprise.

"It's not wine, the more you put it, the more mellow it becomes. Roland shrugged, "Some chaotic drinks can indeed be stored for a long time, but it doesn't mean that every one is the same, so after brewing, the first thing to do is to sterilize and seal." ”

"Extinguish...... Sterilization?"

"They spoil just like food, and the hotter the weather gets, the faster they spoil, and sterilization can inhibit this process, and you don't need to know how to do it, just know that once the barrel is opened, the drink inside will not always taste its best. "You can choose to sell it as soon as possible, or you can keep it again - just keep it in a cool and dark place, and it will be fine in a month or two." ”

"But...... As Etiye said, every batch of Chaos Drink is different, and there will always be some that sell better than others, so how do we choose?" Gamore said hesitantly, "Can you have someone divide each barrel into quarters and then seal it?" ”

In that way, the tasks of Zoroa and Lily would have to be multiplied several times, Roland thought to himself, for this kind of thing that occupies industrial production resources and has no obvious benefits for himself, how simple and good is naturally how good. "Aseptic storage is not an easy task, and after being divided into four parts, the small and complicated stock in each chamber of commerce is also not good for sales. As for tastes...... he paused, "the Grey Castle alone has very different needs for drinks in the north and west, and what is not popular here may be very popular in another city, which should be very clear to you who often reload goods." ”

"Uh, that's ......," Garmor was momentarily speechless.

It's impossible to let you taste first, otherwise it will be troublesome enough to just allocate and coordinate the supply of goods, not to mention that the contract is priced in barrels, and there is no mandatory quantity to be purchased, in case there is a temporary lack of taste from the audience, no one cares, then Neverwinter is a loss. Roland pouted to himself, after all, for Evelyn, the magic cost of each barrel was the same.

"In short, it's not about the taste, it's about the way you sell it – it's what you need to do to get the most out of each flavor so that it finds the right buyer. Roland patted the barrel, "Here, pick out your favorite Chaos Drink." ”
