Lady Karol had no idea of the power of industrial parks and assembly-line production.
It was only after Yan Xing started working that he understood what a "world’s factory" really ant.
Delivering 200,000 sets of garnts within a month is extrely difficult anywhere else in the world. But in the Greater China region he was familiar with, it was rely a matter of additional overti pay.
The raw material suppliers and associated factories are all located together. Consequently, a few phone calls are enough to procure all the materials required for production.
Then cos mass production on the assembly lines.
Even if my own production capacity isn’t enough, I can still outsource so orders to other factories.
Two hundred thousand sets of garnts don’t really make much of a splash in the clothing industry.
However, if they were all to be sewn by hand, that would be a major undertaking.
The Silvermane Principality quoted one Gold Coin per set of garnts; besides the expensive raw materials, labor was also a major cost.
In response to Karol’s repeated inquiries, Yan Xing took out the agreent he had signed. He handed it to the maid to be kept safe and then said to Karol, "You’re the buyer, I’m the seller. Why do you care how I produce? Just make sure you have the Gold Coins ready. As long as I can deliver on ti, that’s all that matters.
Oh, I just rembered sothing.
My Eternal Grain Bank is running a promotion. If you buy Eternal Grain Tickets worth 200,000 Gold in one go, you’ll receive additional tickets equivalent to 10,000 Gold.
It’s a really good deal."
Karol was stunned for a mont and asked, "Since when has the Eternal Grain Bank run such a promotion?"
Yan Xing smiled and said, "Just now. I arranged this event specifically for you. If you use Eternal Grain Bank’s Grain Tickets to buy this batch of garnts, you can save a lot of money."
The profit margin on this garnt deal was already quite substantial for Yan Xing.
If Karol converts all 200,000 Gold into Eternal Grain Bank’s Grain Tickets, then after paying for the garnts, she’ll still have Grain Tickets worth 10,000 Gold in her hands. That’s roughly several million pounds of grain. Having Grain Tickets ans they’ll have to be spent. This will increase the circulation of Grain Tickets in Nuta City. Moreover, Karol and her Rose Court represent the Silvermane Principality. If the principality’s special envoys use Eternal Grain Bank’s Grain Tickets, the advertising effect will be undeniably powerful. This endorsent fee is absolutely worth it.
Karol hadn’t expected Yan Xing to take the initiative to reduce the price!
Governnt procurent involves ticulous calculations of production costs for each set of garnts, squeezing the supplier’s profit margin to the absolute minimum. Suppliers can only profit from volu. Not only did he take the initiative to cut the price, but he reduced it by so much that he’s basically making no profit. Such a rush job will definitely result in financial losses.
After watching Yan Xing for a while, Karol guessed his purpose in lowering the price.
She couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, "Your Excellency truly is ambitious! Supplying 200,000 sets of garnts at a loss, just to foist these Grain Tickets onto .
I don’t understand why you’re so intent on promoting the circulation of Eternal Grain Bank’s Grain Tickets. Do you actually possess that much grain?"
Yan Xing replied, "Of course! If I didn’t have that much grain, wouldn’t issuing so many Grain Tickets be seeking death?
If you don’t trust Eternal Grain Bank’s Grain Tickets, I can give you the grain directly. However, once the grain is exchanged, it can’t be changed back into Grain Tickets.
Any shortages or spoilage must be borne by the owner."
The unique grain from the Eternal Domain only flows outward and is never accepted back. This is to prevent malicious individuals from exchanging grain and then re-depositing it.
Since those who exchange for physical grain must bear any losses from spoilage or shortages, people are more willing to hold onto Grain Tickets.
They can exchange for grain as needed, allowing surplus Grain Tickets to circulate in the market.
This way, the Eternal Grain Bank won’t be under as much pressure to redeem them.
Karol weighed the pros and cons of accepting this offer for herself.
Two hundred thousand Gold for garnt procurent is no small sum. Saving 10,000 Gold would definitely allow to demonstrate my capabilities to Duke Silvermane. Having that much additional capital at my disposal would enable to accomplish many things. As for promoting the circulation of Eternal Grain Tickets in Nuta City... Since Eternal Grain Bank’s Grain Tickets have already beco a de facto secondary currency in Nuta City, there’s little I can do to stop it. I might as well grant Yan Xing this favor.
I must rember that winning Yan Xing over is my primary objective.
"Then I must thank Mr. Yan Xing for this special offer he’s arranged just for ." Karol toasted with Yan Xing to commorate the signing of the procurent agreent. Then, she handed the remaining docunts to him and said with a smile, "I hear you are not yet married. For a young and promising man such as yourself, the won from Nuta City’s lesser noble families are all too common.
Won from truly noble families are not only of high birth but also possess refinent and beauty.
These are young ladies I have specially selected from noble families.
Whichever one catches your eye... I can arrange for her to co to Nuta City to et you.
I believe a fine marriage can further solidify the amicable relations between Thunderous Swamp and the Silvermane Principality."
Yan Xing had not expected Karol to suddenly turn into a matchmaker and start introducing won to him.
I can’t help but feel a flicker of anticipation regarding these noble ladies Lady Karol has selected.
Each sheet of paper introduced a noble lady’s family background and included a magical image.
The young ladies in the images each possessed their own unique charm. While their appearances varied, their overall quality was quite high.
Looking at their lineage, each ca from a prominent family, with at least one elder holding a significant position as a high-ranking minister in the principality.
In modern terms, these would be considered families of high-ranking officials.
Yan Xing leisurely perused the docunts, silently rating each noble lady. Although I know Lady Karol’s motive for playing matchmaker, there’s no harm in just looking, is there? If there really is a peerless beauty among them, one who could topple nations, it wouldn’t hurt to et her, would it?
But as he continued to flip through the pages...
