Chapter 878: Chapter 830: Elorin’s Loss-Making Enterprises
Now that the matters at the Dwarf Tavern are finally settled, it is still in the developnt phase, far from Da Fei’s ideal of making money even in sleep. Simultaneously, at the thought of how Skyshattering Thunder has long since settled the blacksmith’s shop, the luxury inn, and is running a side character for trade routes, Da Fei feels ti is pressing.
Maybe when the Chira Forest is completed and the Prince cos to seize the territory, this Skyshattering Thunder will be the vanguard.
So Da Fei imdiately ssaged Little Ming: "Let
tell you sothing, there might be a Divine Beast in that forest, and a major dwarf faction is eyeing it too, so don’t push the progress too fast, otherwise others will co down and snatch the fruits."
Little Ming imdiately replied: "Brother Fei, don’t talk about progress for now, several Three-headed Chiras have arrived, very tricky and sly! But rest assured, Brother Fei, even if I can’t eliminate them, I won’t let them approach the construction site."
Da Fei hastily asked: "Are you confident?"
Little Ming laughed: "Confident! Exhausting their stamina to force them to flee is no problem."
Da Fei nodded: "Great, make sure not to suffer troop losses, let alone take reckless risks, make stable money first."
"Got it."
Just hope he can be relied upon. Now, only the archbishop, Mayor Elorin and the Ranger Guild Master remain, better return to Elorin first.
Amidst the gaze of several Tavern Hunter players, Da Fei swaggered down from the tavern’s second floor, and amidst a chorus of discussions, stepped onto the street. Da Fei knew from this mont onward, this already bustling tavern would beco even more popular due to his mysterious appearance, with a slew of players definitely coming to study it.
This is my celebrity effect, this is exactly the effect I want, wahahaha!
Elorin, Da Fei headed straight to the City Hall.
The guards at the entrance politely let him through: "Mr. Da Fei, please!"
Then, once again in the long-awaited Mayor’s reception room, amidst hearty laughter, the long-awaited Mayor Elorin Auseliman entered through the door eagerly to shake hands: "Guild Master, Lord City Lord, you are truly, truly, sorry, I really can’t find appropriate words of praise to evaluate you!"
I’ve heard enough words of praise to grow calluses, no need to ntion them! Da Fei laughed heartily: "It’s not the first ti eting the Mayor, no need for the politeness, Mayor."
The Mayor sighed infinitely: "Not only did you complete the Pool of Radiance task and save the World Tree, you gradually revived the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Comrce, increased our city’s unique products with Golden Spearfish, octopus, and sea urchin, and with your rare ship materials support, the shipyard you invested in also made significant progress, your contributions to Elorin are too nurous to count!"
Isn’t that just a handful already? Da Fei laughed heartily: "Mayor, you’re too kind. Ultimately it’s thanks to your trust and promotion, Mayor."
The Mayor nodded satisfied: "Do you rember what I said to you last ti after investing in the shipyard?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but pause! I’m a busy person, I don’t have the habit of taking notes while walking with leadership, how could I rember?
Da Fei wondered: "Seems like the Mayor’s vigorous economic developnt led to a reduction in the military budget, thus causing dissatisfaction with the military?"
The Mayor laughed: "Exactly! But I recomnded you with rit, plus the significant breakthroughs in the shipyard, and those dissatisfied with the military gradually changed their attitude, further easing military and political relations, so I must thank you again. Do you rember I ntioned that Elorin still has so poorly run enterprises?"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, finally opening up investnts fully to ? Da Fei hurriedly asked: "So how many unprofitable enterprises do we have in our city?"
The Mayor imdiately pulled out a list, with various ones like Elorin Sugar Mill, Elorin Porcelain and Glass Craft Second Factory, Elorin Furniture Factory, Elorin Honey Farm, Elorin Dried Fish and Cured Seafood Factory... etc. There are actually more than a dozen enterprises!
Da Fei was shocked with his jaw dropped, I never knew a city could have so much depth; there are so many factories and yet they’re all unprofitable? If these factories weren’t unprofitable, wouldn’t the Elorin Exchange have at least a dozen more commodities? Damn, is this your achievent of fully developing the economy? Maybe this is the true reason the military is dissatisfied with you? Damn, in my mind, you were always brilliant and mighty, you can’t be like this!
Da Fei smiled bitterly: "Sir, why are there so many unprofitable factories?"
The Mayor sighed deeply: "Industries are duplicated, almost every city has these factories, which results in poor sales of products from each city, hence the losses."
Da Fei felt helpless: "Can’t everyone have so planning and division of work?"
The Mayor sighed: "This was all stuff from hundreds of years ago, back then humans were backward, yet had a large population, the market potential was enormous, they exchanged labor and mines for various goods from us Elves, at that ti we couldn’t et the demand, almost all cities operated at full capacity, then a hundred years later—alas, humans have now learned a lot of our technologies, and no longer need our shipnts, resulting in each city having such a ss left."
So that’s how it is!
Da Fei imdiately realized that the goods from these factories couldn’t be sold dostically or internationally, leaving only one possibility for them to sell—a new and rising city force in the New World with a large population and rich minerals. Only such a city could have that potential!
In other words, this mission is already sounding the horn for dumping in the New World. Whoever can ship goods in large quantities first, their city’s morale will soar due to the abundant supply of daily necessities, and the market prospects are huge! And this first batch of goods is definitely the deeply discounted items accumulated in warehouses over the years, which ans a big cost-saving!
Alright, let’s do this business! But when it cos to investnts, I’m like a dunce; better hire a local expert to handle it.
Da Fei imdiately said, "Since the Mayor has such high expectations of my capabilities, I have no reason to disappoint him. Here’s the plan, I agree to invest and take over, but as for which factories to invest in and how much, a battle lord like
is not cut out for that. Therefore, I’d like to entrust the Vice President of our Chamber of Comrce, Baron Coltner, to take full charge while I just stay on the sidelines."
Heh heh, I’m going to stand by and do nothing here.
The Mayor frowned, "Baron Coltner, in my mory, he’s all about eating, drinking, and pleasure."
Da Fei hastily said, "He’s very dedicated now, Mayor, don’t underestimate him."
The Mayor smiled, "Really? Then I’ll have soone invite him right away!" With that, he clapped his hands and summoned the attendant outside: "Please invite Baron Coltner, the Vice President of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Comrce."
"Yes, sir."
However, Da Fei raised his eyebrows, thinking that eating, drinking, and having fun are talents too! Now that I’ve invested in these declining enterprises, it’s unlikely to return profit imdiately, but eating, drinking, and having fun, aka the entertainnt industry, could work! I’ve always talked about setting up a tavern led by a Habbit chef but never got around to it!
Why not open a grand restaurant in Elorin City here? But the premise is, I must have an operation permit, but isn’t an operation permit just a word from the Mayor? Our relationship is this good, so a re operation permit should be no problem. I guarantee you generous dividends with dry shares!
Da Fei imdiately said, "Mayor, I have another proposal—" Then Da Fei explained his entertaining idea.
But before Da Fei could finish, the Mayor was already shaking his head, "No can do, the grand restaurants in this city are already saturated, and the Business Managent Bureau will never approve another operation permit unless soone is willing to sell off a restaurant, but even that has to go through an auction. Besides, the theater is also saturated. In short, in a historical city like Elorin, all the necessary facilities are already in place, and it’s tough to insert new industries. This is not sothing I can decide on as the Mayor alone."
As expected! It’s truly hard for players to set up industries in NPC big cities! Isn’t this process just like that of the dwarves? Now Da Fei finally understands why Skyshattering Thunder at the auction was so desperate to get the grand restaurant! Ultimately, it’s because I didn’t see things clearly enough.
Wait a minute! Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, all the necessary facilities are in place? What about the facilities that aren’t? Da Fei imdiately recalled the two blueprints he obtained after defeating the Divine Beast Nightmare in the Misfortune Space!
— Toy Store Blueprint: With this blueprint, you can open a toy store in your territory or in a major city with an operation permit. Cultural rating
5 points.
— Amusent Park Blueprint: With this blueprint, you can open an amusent park in your territory or in a major city with an operation permit.
I don’t know about toy stores, but I’m willing to bet there are no amusent parks in this city! Wait, I haven’t heard of any city in the entire ga having an amusent park? Damn, these blueprints dropped from a Divine Beast, could they be rare pieces?
Da Fei excitedly pulled out the two blueprints and asked, "So, Mayor, what do you think of these two blueprints?"
The Mayor took the blueprints and couldn’t help but shudder, "An amusent park!"
There’s hope! Da Fei excitedly asked, "How about it? This is a facility not yet available in our city, right?"
After a mont of amazent, the Mayor shook his head and sighed, "Guild Master, the land area required for an amusent park is extraordinary. You need to buy or rent land to build it! The land in the city center is extrely expensive, and residents would definitely not relocate. If it’s built on the remote outskirts, the park’s profitability might not be good, and the frequent beasts pose a threat to children’s safety..."
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Holy crap, a single amusent park blueprint, and it involves buying land and relocating, altering the city map in the ga! Is this blueprint akin to creating an epic-level miracle building like the pyramids?
The more epic it is, the more it proves the blueprint is worth building! Isn’t it just a piece of land?
Da Fei gritted his teeth, "Why not! Relocate a declining enterprise! For instance, this honey factory, our Vine Demon Village in the World Tree Space needs a large amount of honey to increase population, let’s move this business there! Then it’s not
investing in the honey factory but the honey factory investing in our Vine Demon Village, transforming imdiately to revive a business!"
The Mayor was so startled, he almost shouted with excitent, "Feasible!" (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian) with recomndations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
