Chapter 186 (2/2)
”The railway must be repaired, but this can be put aside first. Don't worry, because the cost of building the railway is very high, and we can't afford it now.”
Fiona sighed with relief: ”I see. I thought you didn't know.”
”What do I know?”
”We have no money.”
”Ah?”
Donne was silly: ”how? There are more than 200000 gold coins!”
Fiona was stunned for a moment, and then shouted angrily, ”you don't know!”
”You've always been in charge!”
”That's right! But do you think there will always be more gold coins in the vault?”
Fiona waved her finger and began to settle dawn's account: ”When you went out, you took 50000 gold coins, leaving only 150000. Did you spend a lot on buying copper ingots with duranden? You have to spend tens of thousands of gold coins every month on various welfare policies and salary increase plans in the territory! Then build these factories and various infrastructure construction, which is not a small sum!”
Fiona said anxiously, ”I thought you had a plan for a long time, so they didn't pay for many projects, but because they are new to you, they have high enthusiasm for work and didn't urge you to ask for accounts - in fact, it's all your fault! Don't promise to pay any salary at the beginning? You can save a lot of money!”
Fiona still resents Donne's promise that those people will be paid when they join the reconstruction plan. As she said, Donne is the Lord. If he wants to rebuild the territory, the people must obey unconditionally and give their strength. If they don't obey the order, they will commit a crime and can be sentenced to death!
Donne was so kind to them that Fiona felt like a saint alive and the son of God came!
”So we have no money!”
Fiona said reluctantly, ”if you can't find a way to make money as soon as possible, I'm afraid you will face a serious crisis of trust, and the booming construction scene in Ellington will collapse immediately.”
”Well, well, I neglected...”
Donne knocked on the ceramic toilet and said thoughtfully, ”it seems that he will stay in alinks for a few more days this time...”
”What are your plans?”
”Well... If there is no accident, we should make a gold coin before the end of the month, and if we can make awesome money, we will see that our product is not enough.”
Donne's eyes narrowed slightly. Now if he wants to solve the problem of the economic crisis immediately, he can only think of a way on Alex's side.
Fiona immediately understood what Donne meant: ”do you want to recover funds quickly in a few days after opening through the store in arlinks? It's impossible, really impossible. Even if our products are popular, it's impossible to make much profit when they are sold.”
”It depends on how you sell it.”
Donne smiled strangely: ”have you ever heard that many guys who call themselves aristocrats have a cheap problem?”
”Ah?”
”Only buy expensive ones, not the right ones.”
Isn't that nonsense? But she thought about it carefully and was stunned, because what Donne said turned out to be the truth!
”The top nobles don't care about anyone's eyes. They can live their own life as they like. What they enjoy is the top life. The first-class nobles will imitate the top nobles. If they can't find the same thing, they will find substitutes. Only in this way can they get more praise and admiration among their peers.”
”Similarly, the second rate aristocrats will imitate the life of the first-class aristocrats. Many of the declining aristocratic descendants will even wear bright clothes and maintain a bright appearance at a cost, which means that, because only in this way can they integrate into the circle.”
”Therefore, in order to pursue the trend of the upper circle, those first-class and second-class nobles will spare no expense...”
”Now the question is, what would those guys do if they found that the two most famous families of Ilus, grand duke foyer and grand duke bole, used things provided by the Datang chamber of Commerce, which were not only novel and interesting, but also convenient and useful?”
“……”
Fiona looked at Donne with a creepy face: ”are you going to use the two Dukes to make money?”
”No, no, no!”
Donne corrected Fiona very seriously: ”please pay attention to the words. It's just cooperation!”
