Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 297: Just so domineering
After half a month, the Odin and Haichao returned to Starfish Island.
At this time, it is the month of dying winter. From the name of this month, you can tell that winter is about to end.
Compared with the new year, the frequency of turbulence in the ocean has been reduced by more than half, and the sea surface has been significantly calmer, which greatly improves the safety of going out to sea.
In another one and a half months, after entering the middle and late months of the Moon of Orioles, the storm season will be completely over, and the busy shipping season will officially begin.
This also means that in the first half of the 746 year of the lunar calendar, only more than one month is left for the ocean tides to monopolize the ocean.
The main purpose of the fleet coming to Haixing Island this time is to deliver the ordered commodities to the partners, including various commodities worth 6,500 Kinnars, and magic machinery worth 3000 Kinnars.
For the various high-efficiency magic assembly line factories on the Hai Tide Islands, this batch of goods ordered by the Red Reef Chamber of Commerce and the Flame Starfish Chamber of Commerce is simply drizzle. The factory can start production in 10 days at full speed, so this time the fleet is one time. Sex shipped all the goods.
Upon receiving the news, Evans and Hyde hurriedly hired a large number of freight wagons to enclose the entire wharf and prepare to accept the goods.
Originally, according to the contract, Haichao Chamber of Commerce only needs to unload the goods to the dock, and the contract is considered to be executed. All subsequent transportation processes belong to the customer's own affairs.
Originally, in accordance with the "tradition" established by the convention, the delivery location of the goods should be in the warehouse designated by the customer, and the payment of the remaining payment will be carried out in the warehouse.
What is it that you leave it at the pier?
Do you still want to do business?
But how strong the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is. With its unique high-quality products, after Goode proposed this "unequal" treaty, Evans and Hyde were afraid to bargain and (forced) to sign the contract.
The two directly brought another 70% of the purchase price, and even when the sailors had just started to unload the goods, they delivered two metal boxes full of Kinnar to Goode.
Under normal circumstances, the payment for the goods should be received after the goods have been checked and accepted and confirmed that there are no problems. However, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce really breaks the conventional existence. Goode demanded that the payment must be delivered on the spot.
If you want to buy products from Haichao Chamber of Commerce, you have to abide by my rules!
It's so overbearing!
For the next 2 hours, Evans and Hyde kept on the dock, watching carefully how the sailors operated the magic sling and how to lift the cargo from the sailboat to the dock.
However, the two are more interested in magic forklifts. For most of the time, their attention is on 8 magic forklifts, watching the forklifts drive in and out on the dock, lifting boxes of goods. , And placed on the freight wagon.
These 8 magic forklifts are exactly the magic vehicles ordered by the forthcoming "flaming reef transportation company". In order to give back to the first customer who ordered the magic machinery (innocent), Renault decided to send operators (using the customer’s forklift) for free They load the goods.
It was the first time that Evans and Hyde, as well as the employees in their respective chambers of commerce, watched the working method of Magic Machinery at such a close distance. Each of these turtles was full of admiration, excitement, and great satisfaction. Inner curiosity.
Especially the large number of civilians who heard the wind around the pier made the faces of Evans and Hyde almost burst into laughter.
Obviously, this time the ad was too successful.
Renault did not stay too much at the pier. After meeting Evans and others, he went directly to Haichao Manor, which was a manor acquired by the Haichao Chamber of Commerce on Starfish Island.
This manor is located in the western suburbs of Haixing City, with a total area of more than 4 hectares and no more than 2 kilometers from the port. The location is very good, but the price is only 600 Kinnars.
The reason why it is incredibly cheap is that this manor is a murderous mansion, and an extremely **** tragedy just happened here not long ago.
This tragedy is the "masterpiece" of the devil.
The original owner of the manor was an awakened warrior who was loyal to the eldest son of the earl, Yerkes. Under the command of Sir Eriksson the young, the devil raided the manor late at night, wiping the awakening family with 5 and 13 servants. He digs out his heart and takes his liver, and **** up his brain.
This was also the biggest murder committed by the devil in Starfish City.
After the tragedy, the manor was inherited and resold by a relative of the Awakened, and finally fell into the hands of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, and then was renamed "Haichao Manor."
Others feared the devil and had a deep taboo about the haunted house, but Renault didn't care at all.
Is the devil a fart?
If it dares to show up, Renault will definitely beat it up as a dead dog, then drag it on the dissection table, lively peeling the skin cramps, removing all the internal organs, cutting off every muscle, and removing every bone.
Carefully study the body structure of the devil to see how this mysterious race differs from humans.
By the way, let it know who is the real devil!
Compared with Renault, the extremely brutal big devil, this devil is at best a little guy with minimal harm, and in the eyes of the "big devil" it is just a kind of test material.
Well, it may also be a good ingredient.
This is a rare devil...
Renault hasn't tasted it yet, I don't know how to use it for hot pot...
Regrettably, since Sir Erickson Jr. was tortured and killed, the devil has completely disappeared and never appeared again.
During the time when Renault left Seastar Island, the sea was calm on Seastar Island, and there was no more murder. He suspected that the devil might have left the island in some way and went to other parts of the world.
After all, this devil is very likely to be a scout. How can he perform the duties of a scout in one place?
Following Renault into the Ocean Tide Manor, there were several freight carriages, and each carriage was placed with a tightly wrapped large box.
At this time, the entire Haichao Manor has become a huge construction site, and the manor is full of people, and dirty masons and apprentices can be seen everywhere.
Half of the area inside the manor has been cleaned up, shrubs and vegetation have been cleared, soil has been excavated in many places, foundations are being built, and building materials such as bricks and wooden boards are piled everywhere.
Renault was walking around in the manor, with Goode accompanying him.
After walking to the front of the largest construction site, Goode said:
"Lord Lord, we plan to build 20 large warehouses in this area with a total area of more than 20,000 square meters. This will become a transfer station in the future. Most of the goods shipped to the southern Xinghai mainland can be stored here..."
"Now is the first phase of the project. In the next 3 years, we plan to acquire more land and build more warehouses. Our goal is to have a storage area of 500,000 square meters..."
"The current progress of the project is relatively slow, at least 3 or 4 months to complete the first phase of the project. If the construction team in the territory can be transferred, the construction speed can be greatly accelerated, and it can be completed in one month at most..."
Renault only nodded faintly when he heard the words. He knew that a 500,000 square meter warehouse sounded large, but it was not enough.
There are three human kingdoms on the Xinghai Continent, with a total population of more than 13 million people. The goods in demand are massive. If you want to supply a whole continent, how can a 500,000 square meter warehouse be enough?
5 million square meters is not enough!
But Renault didn't say anything. This was the business of the Department of Commerce and he didn't bother to intervene.
If the plan is not comprehensive, it can be adjusted. If the warehouse is not enough, it can be rebuilt. Goode has insufficient experience and can be cultivated slowly. Only after suffering a loss and stepping on will be impressed and grow faster.
Renault is only responsible for the final assessment. If Goode is really muddy and can't get on the wall, and there are constant mistakes, he will remove Goode ruthlessly and replace him with a more capable Director of the Commercial Department.
This master believes in "the capable ones go up and the mediocre ones go down." The loyal little brother can get more opportunities and can tolerate more mistakes, but this does not mean that mistakes can be made infinitely.
Otherwise, what's the place for Master?
Nursing home or nursery?
Renault interrupted Goode and asked:
"How is the preparation for the auction?"
Goode was taken aback. He keenly noticed that Lord Lord seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his performance. He bent down slightly, the expression on his face becoming more and more humble, and answered cautiously:
"Lord Lord, the invitation has been sent to all the nobles and major chambers of commerce on the island. Most of them said they would participate in the auction..."
"The temporarily leased theater has been renovated, and the service staff participating in the auction have undergone background checks to ensure that people with ulterior motives will not be mixed in. We have also rehearsed twice in advance..."
Having said this, Goode gritted his teeth and said categorically:
"The Department of Commerce will do its best to ensure that there will be no problems in this auction!"
Renault turned his head to look at Goode, nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his face.
Goode couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He secretly sighed, Lord Lord's power is really heavier day by day, an inadvertent expression can bring considerable pressure to himself, even the vest is cold and sweaty.
Goode was also ruthless in his heart, waiting for the meeting to convene all the employees of the Commercial Department, sort out all the matters of the auction from beginning to end twice, and carefully consider any details, and never allow any mistakes.
From now on until the end of the auction, the employees of the Commercial Department must work from 6 in the morning and rest at 12 in the evening.
This auction is only allowed to succeed, not to fail. If anyone dares to drop the chain, he must deal with this guy before he personally pleads with the Lord Lord.
