Chapter 1040 (2/2)
”First I'll need special cotton, Your Majesty,” Victor said with enthusiasolden wheat that had a yield three tiher than the ordinary species, I think she should also be able to triple the cotton yield If the price of raw materials can be reduced to one-third of the current price, then clothes will be ic behind Victor's words seeht at first, but you would realize how ridiculous it was if you thought it over It would be easy for Leaf to culture the productive cotton In fact, with the help of the vast pool of iven by the Heart of the Forest, she was able to culture new seed variants rains in Neverwinter was set low to stabilize the price, not because they could not be sold at a high price
It would be a great problerains had to be controlled and kept loever, this was not the case for cotton, as people always had alternatives to choose from, such as linen, hemp, and furs
”Okay Let's assuher Why should I sell this cotton to you at a discounted price when I can sell it to others at the market price?”
”Because I can save you a lot of invest employment for your city,” Victor said without hesitation ”Aside froet a lot of tax revenue, and your people can also benefit fro, as I can handle all the ement affairs and the production line”
Roland was surprised by Victor's answer that was full ofwhile before he asked, ”Did you learn those words from the newspapers?”
”That, and every one of Neverwinter's announcements I've studied them all Some of the words may be quite ahen I first read them, but they have helped le,” Victor said with his hand on his chest ”The other lords would throw me out if I had proposed a reduction in the price in front of them, but I believe you can see the value in this”
”This is quite a sneaky compliment If I throw him out now, I'll be no different frohtly ”Tell me your plan”
Victor spoke eloquently about his plan for nearly an hour Apparently, he ell-prepared in advance
His idea was not complicated In brief, he wanted to build a business syste, textile production, and sales House Lothar had quite a long history of arments, so he already had much relevant experience and technique Once the project started, it would not be long before they saw the fruits of their labor
Of course, anyone could paint an attractive blueprint with their rhetoric, but Roland kept listening because he saw that Victor had taken many details into account and planned well in advance Neverwinter was not a suitable place for growing cotton, so the plantation and the textile factory had to be located in the Southern Territory, where there was ahout the year Meanwhile, as the Sand Nation people were still reat deal of labor available Everything seearment production would be set up in Neverwinter, where it could be directly sold to the people here, who could afford the clothes
Victor would be responsible for the initial invest far equip, for it spent neither time nor any money on the venture As athe productive strains cotton seeds, Neverwinter could just step back and reap the profits
In addition, due to the sie of cotton, the output of the final products could be easily assessed from the amount of the materials that went in, so it was easy for Roland to calculate the tax, which was a relief to both hies Victor had mentioned, Roland preferred two of them in particular: the first was that House Lothar already had efficient spinning tools that were capable of processing three times the yield of the cotton; the other was that they had trained a nuarments for the nobles in the City of Glow, so the clothes they made would be popular with many people Victor also admitted that this business idea was inspired by when he watched 'The Wolf Princess' He found that the citizens of Neverwinter were still plainly dressed, which was improper for a new capital
These two points were the key to the entire plan, for, with theer a castle in the air, but actually quite feasible
