It took more than a month before Captain Hausen left the Principality of Idar to explore the unknown land at the other end of the ocean.

During this time, many things happened on this piece of land in the eastern part of the empire.

For example, the first department store in the Principality of Idar was opened for business, for example, the construction of a noble manor in the northwest of Idar City broke ground, the storm of hacking hosted by Old Ford himself, and the first public examination of the Principality of Idar .

The interior of the empire is still in chaos, while the Principality of Idar is still full of vitality.

The sky is blue and the grass is green. Everything in the Principality of Idar is like a prosperous scene of a heavenly dynasty.

Since moving to the Principality of Idar, Justin Lucio has been idle.

War and chaos have greatly squeezed the living space of civilian traders, and his shop in the Principality of Idar is showing a new and prosperous atmosphere, which makes him dismiss the idea of ​​regaining his old business.

Since they can make money safely, who would risk their lives to make that hard money?

Justin Lúcio quickly became a kind of high spirits from the noble Idar people, those risky trade routes, let the mud legs living in the inland of the empire and the Kingdom of Basel come and run... …

However, giving up the plan to regain the old industry does not mean that from now on, you will have to eat and wait for death.

Although relying on the stable income from the shop alone, he can repay the loan on time and enjoy his life safely, but...Justin Lucio has always been a guy who can't stay idle.

When the noble manor just opened, he gritted his teeth and bought a real estate worth thousands of gold coins, but he also put himself on a heavy debt.

but……

What made him extremely excited was that after just over a month, the house prices of the noble manor had already entered an upward channel.

With the latest "Three-Year Development Plan Outline" issued by the Idar City Government Affairs Office, Idar City's development plan for the next three years has also been officially announced.

Affected by this, the price per square meter of villas in the noble manor has increased from 20 gold coins to 21 gold coins.

In other words...

After buying a three-hundred-square-meter villa, I did nothing in this month and made a net profit of three hundred gold coins!

No matter which industry you are in, this is not a small number!

After all... on this continent, the exchange ratio of gold coins to silver shillings, and silver shillings to copper plates is as high as one to twenty.

This time I really made a bet!

Whenever thinking of the decision he made that night, Justin Lucio has an urge to burst into tears.

To know,

According to the legal provisions of the Principality of Idar, the Idar Government Affairs Department and the Idar City Planning Department divide real estate into two different types of residential housing and luxury housing, and set the highest price increase or decrease standard for ordinary residential housing for price control , In order to prevent merchants from hoarding large-scale stocks.

Therefore, whether it is a businessman who wants to live in or invest, almost all of his eyes are on luxury residences.

It's just...now that there is only one luxury residential builder approved by the Idar Public Project, and there is only one project, and that is the noble manor project under the Riverside Realty.

In a sense, as the first group of people to eat crabs, Justin Lucio really got a big deal this time.

But he knew very well in his heart that such an opportunity could not always be encountered. Under the legal framework of the Principality of Idar, continuously expanding his own industry and income sources is the right way.

So in these days when I came to the Principality of Idar, in addition to staying at home and reading the newspaper, Justin Lucio walked almost all the streets and alleys of the Principality of Idar.

Whether in the Merlin district, the city of Idar, or the industrial areas of Solenburg and Cologne, Justin Lucio has left his footprints and shadows.

And as a businessman, he is indeed flourishing in the Principality of Idar, seeing countless business opportunities hidden in it.

For example... bread.

Although potatoes and corn are becoming more and more popular in the Principality of Idar, the most widely sold and highest-selling food is still the bread that people love.

And Million's bread processing factory, also with Bruno's support, is booming and expanding.

As the people's demand for bread increased, Million's original cake shop was divided into two, and with the financial support of Bruno, it was reorganized into the new Idar Bakery Factory and Eugenie Cake Shop.

Among them, Eugenie Cake Shop gave Million to tinker at will, mainly producing cream cakes loved by merchants and nobles.

The new Idar bread factory is much more formal than the previous ones. Not only has it hired professionals to manage it, but one third of the bread supply in the Idar Principality is derived from this.

This is a large-scale bakery manufacturer endorsed by the Idar Chamber of Commerce, invested by the Idar nobles, and hired professionals to manage it.

Driven by so many factors, Justin Lucio is very optimistic about the future of this bread processing factory.

Therefore, he soon submitted a cooperation document to the new Idar bread processing factory, hoping to become a partner of the new Idar bread processing factory, and sell the bread produced to all parts of the Idar Principality.

after all……

It is actually a very time consuming task to keep in touch with the shops and merchants scattered throughout the Principality of Idar every day.

And Justin Lucio believes that by virtue of his business experience, the bread produced by this factory can be smoothly entered into every household, and while gaining profits, it will also allow new The Idar Bakery Factory gets more revenue.

only……

Although I received a reply as soon as the cooperation document was submitted, the content of the reply was what Justin Lucio wanted to see from time to time.

Because that was not the cooperation Justin Lucio wanted, but a tender notice.

Justin Lucio saw the problems in actual sales, so the new Idar bread processing plant backed by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, naturally saw the same flaws.

Therefore, in order to make the bread produced by the new Idar bread processing factory sell farther and reduce unnecessary trivialities, the bread factory divided the Idar Principality into several regions and started a round of "recruiting regional partners". Large-scale bidding.

And this also made Justin, who was full of confidence, caught off guard for a while.

He did participate, but he was eliminated unexpectedly.

This is not due to any insider operation, but because... Compared with others, the quotation and sales strategy given by Justin does not actually have much advantage.

And this also made Justin Lucio clearly realize for the first time how terrifying the number of businessmen gathered in the Duchy of Idar!

However, fierce to fierce, selection of partners through bidding, this screening mode also opened up Justin Lucio's vision and shocked him.

Although the screening method is cruel, it makes Justin Lucio painful and happy.

The mistake in the bidding made him feel a little excited. For two days in a row, he leaned on the sofa rather boredly, looking at the "Idar Daily" word by word, wanting to see if he could spot other business opportunities. .

"Come and take a look, dear father, the bicycle I mentioned to you a few days ago has been bought by me!"

At this moment, the voice of little Lucio came from the yard.

Hearing this, Justin Lucio put down the newspaper in his hand and walked out of the room.

In today’s Principality of Idar, learning to spell and read aloud is something that almost every child dreams of. The hardships of life make them understand the difficulty of climbing upwards, and it also makes them clearly realize how much life is in the Principality of Idar. Lucky.

After immigrating to the Principality of Idar, the young Lúcio was sent by his father to the double-point college to learn spelling, and strive to get a good place in the entrance examination of Idar Public University next year.

You know, although the official ape exam can make little Lucio make money and integrate into the society of the Principality of Idar faster, but Justin Lucio has money, and Lucio's family is not short of money.

And... he could see that Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, attached great importance to the Public University of Idar.

Not only provides tuition exemptions, accommodation subsidies, and food subsidies for students, but the social status of public university students has also been greatly improved. It can be said that Duke Bruno Stuart of Idar is the most valued talent.

As for the bicycle mentioned by Jr. Lucio...

As Justin Lucio had been preoccupied with the preparation of the bidding matters before, he did not care much about the transportation that was frequently mentioned by his son and the "Idal Daily".

In his opinion, he has a carriage anyway. As for the so-called bicycle, can he still run on his own?

It's just... when his son mentioned that he couldn't hold it, and for the Lucio family, the price of the bicycle was not too expensive, so he nodded and reluctantly agreed.

But when Justin Lucio walked out of the door and saw the thing that was being pushed into the yard by the little Lucio, he was a little stunned for a while.

So... what the **** is that?

...

Since the Idar Institute of Basic Industries solved the problems of bearings, steering and tires, so that the first bicycle in the Principality of Idar finally landed successfully, the rest of the work has been much simpler, most of which are just adding details. Increase or decrease.

For example, in order to increase the practicality of the bicycle, the craftsmen added a seat above the rear wheel and a hanging basket in the front of the bicycle.

After solving the difficulties in the supply of raw materials and mass production of bicycles, as early as half a month ago, the bicycle factory in the Principality of Idar was officially built in Gran Heights, and began to recruit workers for production, and named it "Holden Brand". "bike.

The origin of the name is also very simple. The person in charge of developing the bicycle is named Matteo Holden.

Bruno doesn't care about the name, but this can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the craftsmen and make them realize that as long as they make some achievements, they will also have the opportunity to make their children and grandchildren proud and proud!

The first generation of "Holden" bicycles did not have enough excellent shock absorption methods, and they were far from comfortable to ride. However, this was enough for the Principality of Idar and the civilians living on this land. NS!

On the concrete pavement just laid by the Idar workers, riding on a brand-new "Horden" bicycle with a lover or child on the back seat has almost become a dream in the hearts of all Idar young people.

And this dream is not expensive, the price is less than 500 copper plates.

If you change it to the past, the price is already very high, but for the current Idar people, it is roughly equivalent to a family's three or four months' salary.

Although it is still not cheap, it is not an unbearable burden.

And in order to allow bicycles to enter people’s lives faster, factories such as the Idar Steel Factory and the Idar Textile Factory with Bruno’s shareholding even provide employees with the option to advance their basic wages, thereby promoting Idar people’s consumption of bicycles.

But these... Justin Lucio didn't know, because when the bicycle message went viral in the Principality of Idar, he was busy with his bidding and planning his future business vision.

So, today is actually the first time he has seen this vehicle that people talk about with his own eyes.

how to say?

In his opinion, the appearance of the bicycle is actually a bit weird.

Underneath are two thief-big wheels, with a basket in front, a small-looking seat in the middle, and there are some messy things further down...

And most importantly, this thing can't "stand" on its own. If there is no support, it will fall to the ground all at once.

"This is the bike?"

Upon seeing this, Justin Lucio couldn't help asking.

Can something that can’t even stand still be used as a means of transportation?

Or...this is actually just part of the bicycle?

Justin Lucio couldn't help looking around, but it was clear that there were no other parts.

"If you go near the Caracalla Baths, this bicycle is much more convenient than a carriage!"

While talking, little Lucio showed it to his father enthusiastically.

"Be careful..."

Justin Lucio was a little worried, but before he could finish his words, he saw little Lucio flipping into the car and turning around the yard.

"If it weren't for too little space here, I could ride much faster than this!" Although a little rusty, little Lúcio was still riding the car and shouted to his father.

The scene in front of me gave Justin Lucio a look~lightnovelpub.net~ This bicycle really doesn't need livestock to pull it, and it can really move fast with only human power.

As a businessman with an extremely keen business sense, he knows very well what a huge market this kind of transportation will have!

Suddenly, Justin Lucio seemed to be possessed, and he rushed into the room like crazy, pulled out today's "Idal Daily", and looked through it carefully.

finally,

He found the inconspicuous advertisement in the middle of the newspaper:

"Heavy! "Holden" brand bicycles urgently recruit agents, and those with business experience are preferred!"

Seeing this, Justin's gaze swept over the bike that had just been bought by the little Lucio, and the whole person couldn't help but boil with enthusiasm.

I'm still struggling with selling bread here. Isn't it good to sell bicycles? !
