LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 526, Demon Dragon Potion_1
Hearing Moru's words.
Fang Hao continued his line of questioning, "Dwarves are quite wealthy, so their compensation must be very generous, right?"
Moru slapped his thigh, "Oh, it's not just generous, otherwise we wouldn't have needed the Trade Alliance to mediate, Mr. Fang Hao, would you like to hear about it?"
Fang Hao raised an eyebrow, "Go on."
Moru pulled out a small notebook, gently opened it, and began to read, "Five million Gold Coins, one hundred and fifty thousand in-house produced gemstones, twenty thousand pieces of artifacts from the Dwarven royal family..., for the next five years, providing a hundred thousand muskets, fifty thousand cannons, as well as 20% of the profits from the mines.
Oh, and two thousand Dwarven beauties, that's it...".
Moru finished reciting the items listed after a while.
It was clear to see, that the dwarves had been impoverished by this war.
The upfront resources they could provide were limited, their most valuable assets were to be provided in installments.
Including the hundred thousand muskets and fifty thousand cannons over the next five years, as well as 20% of the profits from their mines. These were more valuable than five million Gold Coins.
It was truly a maximum level squeeze on the Dwarves' productivity for the next five years.
"Mr. Fang Hao, what do you think of the Dwarves' compensation?" Moru asked with a smile.
Fang Hao dismissed it, "Hmm... It's average."
"Uh... If you think this is average..." Moru was at a loss for words.
"Haha, what does their business have to do with us? Come on, I'll take you to see the new factories we've set up. Maybe the Trade Alliance can sell our products in the future. It's bound to be a big hit." Fang Hao laughed and walked towards the door, dragging Moru with him.
Moru had to follow him reluctantly.
Clearly, the terms offered by the dwarves did not meet Fang Hao's requirements.
This was something they had no control over now.
Accompanied by Fang Hao, Moru left the room and mounted a Giant Lizard that resembled a giant beast, heading westward.
They came to two Orc villages.
The rabbit people and fox people, clad in warm fur coats, were busy at work.
"What... what are they doing?" Curiously looking around, Moru ask softly.
"Cosmetics, you know, for women to use, not just women though." Fang Hao explained as they walked along.
He took a finished cosmetic product from a fox person's hand and handed it to Moru.
Moru opened it gently, and looked at the pink cake-like substance inside.
He examined it back and forth. Besides the finely crafted box, was the stuff inside just dried pink mud formed into a cake?
"Is this food?"
"What, food? It's meant for applying on the face. It's very popular in human cities. The market is definitely great. I plan to introduce this product to the Trade Alliance for sale."
"Eh... Do people really buy this?" Moru was still a bit confused about what effect this could have when applied to the face.
If it were him, he'd keep the box and throw away the pink cake inside.
"Of course, the market has already verified it."
Seeing Fang Hao wasn't joking, Moru could only nod, "We could try this among your products and see how all the races accept it."
"No, people need to be taught how to use this kind of cosmetic. I plan to buy a store in the station to specifically sell this cosmetic. The location I've thought of is the one opposite to the pub," Fang Hao continued.
The pub was the place where a variety of races gathered most.
Moreover, for 20 Warfire Coins, one could have a cross-racial romance.
By then, setting up a cosmetic store there should have some effect.
Of course, earning money wasn't the most important thing, what mattered was name recognition. The leaders from all regions who could come to the Trade Alliance would see the Fairy Dream Tower's sign, which would be the best advertising.
The first floor sold cosmetics, the second floor clothes. By that time, his brand would be known to all powers in the whole area.
Moru looked even more astonished, "The store space in the Trade Alliance is very expensive, and you need approval."
"I know, regarding the approval, Mr. Moru, I need your help to figure out how to go about this process," Fang Hao softly replied. Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing Fang Hao's seriousness, Moru stopped saying anything else.
He only nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll handle the approval for you. As for the price, we'll have to see what the higher-ups say."
"Haha, no problem."
Fang Hao laughed loudly, led Moru on a large tour around the village, then rode the Giant Lizard back to the city.
...
When the two of them returned to the city, they had lunch together before Fang Hao sent Moru off.
This goblin clerk kept praising how delicious the food was at Fang Hao's.
If he opened a restaurant at the station, it would definitely make more money than those damned cosmetics.
Fang Hao only gave a slight smile, not saying much.
The dishes were delicious because of Eira's good cooking skills, attributed to her [Master Chef]property, that's why she made such delicious dishes.
He would not want to send Eira out just for the sake of making some small change.
As the first person to accompany him, it was okay for her to be busy at home.
It's different with cosmetics. The factory produced them, they were directly sold in all the stores.
Moreover, the selling power of cosmetics could be even stronger than Moru imagined.
The ladies and the noble women in Silver Wing City had already proven this concept.
After seeing Moru off.
Fang Hao returned to the lord's mansion. The weather had gotten colder, so it was impossible to sunbathe now.
In the backyard, the rocking chair's arc-shaped legs were frozen to the ground, it couldn't be rocked anymore.
