Chapter 298 (2/2)
Pondering for a moment, Du Wei ie entity like the imperial army will be a little strenuous by himself
Moreover, a place like the northas limited in manpower and material resources Over the next two to three years, thehis own military armaments If he allocated all of his resources on this business instead, hethe develope, but at its core it's nothing unpowder, and the others… The technical knoasn't high, and the cost was huge too with relatively low profit ins Since it's like that, why don't he just let others do it so they can owe him a favor
With an idea in mind, Du Wei took the initiative to put forward his own plan: hand over the hot air balloon production piece to Taklanshan and Biliabuer and let the two divide it a themselves There are already imitations out in the wild, and Du Wei knows that Taklanshan had so
As the four talked deep into the night, the matter was pretty much finalized by then Du Wei, Taklanshan, and Biliabuer will choose a plot of land in the vicinity of the imperial city and set up a specialized factory workshop supplying only hot air balloons to the ent earlier today, which was the ”Boeing Airline”
On the investment side Taklanshan and Biliabuer will split it between theet twenty percent for providing the technology knohile the reets split between Taklanshan and Biliabuer
And Baron Sack here, the one in the financial departet his own set of benefits so that doesn't need elaborating Du Wei doesn't care either way The expenses for the factory are all covered by Taklanshan and Biliabuer As for the bribes to the e, there's Baron Sack to handle that on the financial end Du Wei hiht and wait for payment
As for gunpowder and fuel, Taklanshan and Biliabuer knows very well Du Wei won't hand over so the topic
Discussing for an entire night, Du Wei didn't feel ician, but the other three did fare so well Exhausted, the only thing keeping these three going was the large a them very excited
But in the end, Du Wei made an additional request
“The production of hot air balloons will require a lot of leather goods, so it's unavoidable that our joint factory will need to procure froh there are cattle and sheep in the north, it wont be enough for us, and the price and quality are far inferior So, for our sourcing, I recorassland! At least until the relationshi+p between the Empire and the natives completely crumbles, ill do it this way!”
Taklanshan and Biliabuer both thought for a moment before the fatty spoke up: ”What the Duke said is true The prairie natives are good at herding so their cattle and sheep are all indeed top rate goods But… We are talking about the military supplies If we purchase only fro the production into delay when the Empire breaks off with the natives?”
It was Biliabuer whobusiness will benefit the natives norun They are our enemy I fear…”
Du Wei smiled as he slowly said: “Gentlemen, how can I not know of the situation with the natives when I'etting at, naturally, I have a plan As I just said, ill purchase leather from the natives… However, ill only procure sheepskin and not cowhide! This means ill only buy sheep from the natives and not cattle!”
“Only buy sheep?” Taklanshan and Biliabuer both looked at each other, confused over Du Wei'sthe resolute appearance of this Duke, both ht it didn't matter since this issue wasn't all that important Sheepskin or cowhides, both are still leather in their eyes
Maybe the Duke has a special attraction towards sheepskin…?
It was Baron Sack who had unintentionally hit the mark with his joke: ”Only buy sheep and not buy cow… Such a big deal, I fear even hundreds of thousands of sheep each year will not be enough! Such high deo their cattle and directly focus on raising sheep! HAHA! After we're through with theet to taste the famed beef of prairie in which they are so fa to buy beef from the north of the empire instead, hahaha…”
Those words caused Du Wei's eye to flicker so slightly, but none in here noticed it
Only Du Wei himself knows This extra demand was in fact a carefully orchestrated scheme of his to deal a deadly blow to the natives!!
Du Wei already knew about this deadly scheme in his previous life It was a country called japan That country used this exact sche turbulent times
Animals like sheep are completely different from cows
While herding in the grassland, though cows and sheep will both graze, but they do have some important distinctions Unlike cows, sheep are a kind of anirass, but the roots too! Thus if one lets a large nu sheep loose in the field, the pasture will quickly dry up and wither away!
And what's the old! It's their vast, lush pastures! As long as they have the grassland, they can herd and breed large number of horses! But with this invisible knife tactic of letting the prairie natives earn large profits by raising their sheep counts, it will only be a few years before their vast stretches of greenery become withered and barren!
By then, ill see ill they use to graze their horses!
As a race of nomadic people, the prairie natives will always chase after the greenery for survival, rasslands are their lifeblood!
In a few years when the land becoether when their livelihood are at stake? Of course not! There's bound to be a fierce co pasture fields, er for war between themselves will be pulled!
Such deadly scheh Taklanshan and Biliabuer are both clever individuals, but without the experience of Du Wei's past life, they cannot understand it like he does
Un while constantly sneering inside…
