Chapter 241: Chapter 241 The Establishnt of Ping An Material Trading House Chapter 241: Chapter 241 The Establishnt of Ping An Material Trading House “Can you explain the specific role of the trading house, Rory said indifferently.
“The day we discussed it on the battlefield was a bit unclear.”
Indeed, because they were on the battlefield that day, Fang Hao had only briefly ntioned it and hadn’t been very clear.
Just based on that bit of information, Rory was willing to get involved, which showed he was a promising partner.
At least Rory, for his own purposes, would definitely strive to develop the trading house to the fullest.
Fang Hao explained it again, this ti in much greater detail.
“So you’re saying that a Gold-level material warehouse can automatically increase the number of stored materials and even freely transfer goods, as well as transport personnel?” Rory quickly considered: “Transporting personnel could be considered a high-level service item, specifically for conveying important ssages or for the escape or relocation of so important figures.”
In the Sea Alliance, because the power structure was too complicated, large forces would often be extinguished.
There were also those that were attacked, sustaining various damages, and often tis important figures couldn’t escape and were either captured or killed.
Even Rory himself frequently faced these crises.
But with such a transfer, things would be completely different.
Even if the service were to cost more, he believed many people would be willing to use it.
Of course, the most powerful forces might not like to see their adversaries escape.
However, they too needed to prepare for tis when they themselves might be in danger, and this one feature would be enough to make them welco it.
“Escorting goods used to be very expensive, but with this, we can lower our fees significantly—there’s no cost to it.
As for storing goods, it’s enough just to offer a certain percentage in return.
This feature is truly remarkable.”
On the Alliance side, there wasn’t even a Silver-level material warehouse, so the ability to transfer materials didn’t exist.
At most, there were so Black Iron-level material warehouses with a few special abilities.
If not controlled by the lord, their effectiveness would be greatly diminished, further lowering their utility.
Therefore, encountering a Gold-level material warehouse controlled by the lord for the first ti—it was impossible not to be astonished.
One might say it was a shock; it was just a pity he wasn’t in control.
But even so, as long as he wasn’t kicked out, he could still break free from the shackles of his family in the future.
“We’re thinking the sa thing, and we have already prepared a detailed plan,” Fang Hao continued, “Our plan is to offer a 5% interest rate per year to others, which ans we can earn 7% ourselves.
The workers will all be undead; they don’t require any wages at all.
Other aspects will be adjusted according to local market conditions.”
“That sounds quite good.
So, what exactly do I need to do, and what kind of treatnt can I expect?”
Straight to the point.
anwhile, just having returned to the realm, Fang Jie was watching the eting through the Lord Mansion’s surveillance.
Likewise, this too served as a ans for remotely controlling Fang Hao.
Most of the ti, Fang Hao handled the negotiations himself, but sotis specific details still required his personal decision.
“We’ve decided to give you compensation based on revenue—you’ll get 20%, but you must resolve all local developnt issues on your own.
Apart from providing the material warehouse, we will only supply so forces for protection.”
“If any unforeseen circumstances arise in the future, we will imdiately destroy the local material warehouse, leaving no trace behind.” This implied that once it was destroyed, it wouldn’t be rebuilt.
“A very clever idea indeed.
At first, they might not care, but once developnt kicks in, that will change,” Rory easily envisioned such a scenario.
Without a material warehouse, logistics would fail to get off the ground, hindering developnt.
Not to ntion other issues, like the cost of transporting materials and the risks on the road, they alone would be enough to deter people.
Compared to places that were easier to develop, people would naturally abandon regions without material warehouses.
By that ti, it wouldn’t just be them asking for it; their opponents would probably find ways to persuade them to set up outposts.
But these were concerns for the future.
The beginning is always the hardest part, and that’s what he needed to be most mindful of.
But soon, Rory thought of a solution.
“So, can I share so of my earnings with others?”
Fang Hao nodded, “Of course, you decide.”
“I’ve decided to take only 10% for myself and distribute the rest to so of the local powerful forces.
That way, I can have their assistance and protection.
But with only a 10% local profit share, they probably won’t be keen on the idea.”
After reflecting for a mont, Fang Jie then gave a direct order.
On the other side, Fang Hao spoke up, “In that case, we’ll give them 30%, and we’ll retain 60% of the revenue, which is more than enough.”
The profit share already seed very high, but for those providing special buildings in this world, it was not much at all.
A native lord would certainly take more than 90%.
Even Rory hadn’t expected the undead to be willing to forgo such massive profits.
However, it suddenly occurred to him that these undead wouldn’t really benefit from those profits for themselves.
Perhaps if they didn’t have other races involved, they wouldn’t even resort to such thods.
Rory pondered, but Fang Jie had his own thoughts.
Setting up the trading house wasn’t about the imdiate profit; Fang Jie’s goal was to take control of the entire Sea Alliance.
The present loss was for the future convenience of bringing it under control.
“Well then, we have a deal.
With these terms, if I can’t succeed, then I truly would be useless.” As he spoke, Rory pulled out a contract that had been prepared in advance.
This was a contract certified by the World Laws; once signed, it couldn’t be violated without incurring penalties.
With both parties swiftly reaching agreent, clause after clause was written onto the blank contract.
The more they negotiated, the more dismayed Rory beca.
He had thought the undead would be easy to fool and had hoped to keep so loopholes, but they were watertight.
Instead, it was he who kept finding problematic aspects—how did they manage that?
Rory didn’t know that from the very beginning of drafting the conditions, Fang Jie had been in contact with Qin Lan.
Through their connection, a vast number of professionals had gathered on Qin Lan’s side, far surpassing Rory alone.
As people from Earth who were long-accustod to tinkering with contracts, their understanding of these clauses far exceeded that of the natives of this world.
If it weren’t for World Laws certification, they could have co up with even more tricks.
