Chapter 251: Becoming the Biggest Capitalist (Seeking 5-star Review)
...
"If there are no other questions, I will go back first. Please do your best. Our ship is in the hands of Mr. Tom and everyone else! By the way, on the day of delivery, I will treat all the shipbuilders and their families to a big dinner to celebrate."
"Hahaha! Mr. Gel is such a generous and kind man. Please rest assured and leave it to me. We will definitely build a ship that will satisfy you! Time is tight and I have to go to work too. I won't entertain you any longer. Please help yourself, Mr. Gel."
After Tom finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, strode out quickly, and began to direct the craftsmen in the dock to work.
...
Gel went out with Mosan and found a spacious warehouse. They bought all the materials needed except the treasure tree Adam. They also bought a lot of goods that Mosan had sorted out in the past few days. Due to traffic problems in the Seven Water City, the goods were currently scarce in the market. Soon the entire warehouse was filled to the brim.
"Except for the shipbuilding materials, everything you want is here. If it's not enough, tell me. I'll leave the trade to you. We are not short of money. We can make small profits but quick turnover. In the future, our products will surely be sold all over the world. To do long-term business, reputation is very important."
Ger reminded.
Gel unconditionally supported Mosan's idea of trading with this city, especially when he explained the deeper reasons, Gel had no reason to refuse.
The Seven Waters City is an island that is not suitable for growing crops and other production, and many daily necessities need to be imported from other nearby islands.
But now, because many foreign cargo ships have been plundered by pirates, the amount of supplies transported in has been greatly reduced.
In this case, if a large amount of Beli flows in all at once, it will not only fail to help the declining economy of the Seven Water City, but will also cause the purchasing power of the currency to drop rapidly, leading to soaring prices.
This phenomenon has a more familiar and popular name: inflation.
"Don't worry, Captain. I understand. They are short of supplies right now. Giving them more Baileys will be useless. These necessities of life are the most popular. Although the money we spent will return to us after a round trip, the changes it brings are huge."
Mosan stroked his mustache and said happily that with this batch of high-quality and low-priced daily necessities, most of the Bailey they spent in the Seven Water City would be recovered.
"It's great that you can think of these things. It seems that you have learned a lot from reading those economics books recently. It just so happens that I brought back a young man who is also very talented in business this time. Let him learn from you when the time comes."
Geer patted Mosan's round shoulder and said.
"Oh, a new partner?"
When Funi heard the topic of interest, she closed the account book in her hand and looked up and asked.
This secretary is really dedicated and responsible.
"Well, like you two, a young couple, please take care of each other in the future."
Ger said with a smile.
"Hehe, no problem. Speaking of which, the books you gave me are really amazing. Although I have only learned a little bit, I have been deeply shocked. The power of money can be used in this way. In the past, I only thought about how to do some small business to earn some money to support my family. I never thought of these. It really opened my eyes."
Mosan sighed seriously.
"Come on, as long as you think it's useful, I can't bear to read economics that is too complicated. Anyway, this business will be handed over to you in the future. You have to stand up first, and then I will find some young people with business talent to help you. Then I will tell you a few business models. Let's make it bigger and stronger. In the future, we are going to build a huge financial empire and become the biggest capitalist, hehehe."
Then Fanny looked at the two of them with a helpless look on her face, as they were arm in arm, whispering to each other and laughing strangely.
...
Captain Gel left all matters to Mosan and started to act as a hands-off manager, taking Weeble to travel around the Seven Water City.
The prototype of the Seven Water Cities is the water city of Venice, and the "Water Gods - Akula Lagna" is also taken from the storm surges that often occur in Venice. The city has well-developed waterways, and the architectural style that integrates multiple elements and the busy water traffic are the biggest features of this city.
Gel first spent 4 berries to rent a large Brutus, a small sea beast with a horse-like head. Since there are more water routes than land routes in the Seven Water City, it is most convenient to travel by a small boat carried by Brutus.
My mission for the next few days is to travel around the city and eat all the food there. Today I’m going to check in at the “Shui Shui Meat” that I’ve always wanted to try.
No one knows what special treatment the bone-in meat has undergone, but it is simply grilled over charcoal, brushed with a secret sauce, and sprinkled with "pure salt" given by the water gods - Akula Lagna. Then, a dish of water meat with unique local characteristics is ready!
“I have to say it’s really tender and chewy!”
"The appearance is crystal clear and full, like a piece of jelly and elastic. When you take a bite, the unique texture and delicious taste make people unforgettable after tasting it."
Captain Gel is a veteran gourmet and immediately gave a professional review.
"Delicious! Brother, this meat is delicious!"
Weibull stuffed the food left and right into his mouth, taking the time to mumble some inarticulate praises.
"If it's delicious, eat as much as you want. Don't be polite to me, boss. Bring me another hundred servings."
Gel took out a stack of Baileys and said proudly.
"Okay, okay, please wait a moment, sir. I'll be right there, right there!"
Recently, the price of raw materials has increased, and he was forced to increase the price a little bit. As a result, business has dropped a lot. Today, a big order suddenly came in. The boss was very happy and quickly rolled up his sleeves to speed up the grilling process.
"My dear guest, it will take him a while to prepare 100 portions by himself. We also have Shuishui meat at home, the taste and price are the same. Would you like to divide the portions into several and let us help prepare them?"
The owners of the nearby shops that also sold Shui Shui meat were very envious and came over to suggest to Captain Gel:
"Damn it, don't disturb my guests' meal, don't go too far!"
Seeing that his competitor was trying to steal his business so openly, the first boss, who was already too busy to stop, shouted anxiously in his heart.
"No need."
Captain Gear waved his hand and said.
The owner of the first store breathed a sigh of relief, but several other owners looked disappointed upon hearing this and had to prepare to leave in shame.
But Gel took out a few more stacks of Bailey and said with a smile:
"It's only a hundred servings. Don't bother distributing them. Each of you can make a hundred servings for me. My brother can eat more."
"Ah yes! Please wait a moment, my dear guest."
Everyone was delighted to hear this. They took the money respectfully and then ran back to their stalls to get busy.
A total of 8 barbecue restaurants selling Shui Shui meat on the entire food street participated in the battle. The battle between the 8 barbecue chefs and the big eater Weibull began, and more and more people stopped to watch on the street.
