Chapter 566: The Mother of Desire and the Eagle Guard
Translator: Lonelytree
âAs expected of Lord Matthew. These evil criminals are willing to turn over a new leaf under his hands and work hard to improve.â
Lara was very emotional.
Unintentionally, she bumped into the drooling ghosts next door and Argus, the dark warrior who was patrolling and full of desire for the bodies of the arsonists.
She seemed to have understood something.
Until the second half of the night.
Matthew then led another batch of the dead from the golden fertile field village to the cemetery.
After handing over the new dead to Myosacci.
Matthew was pleasantly surprised to find the Shadow Oathbreaker, the president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce, waiting quietly.
âHow is it?â
Matthew greeted.
Lara smiled shyly.
âIt went quite smoothly.â
Then, she handed Matthew the goods in her luggage, the underwater breathing potion in her storage items, and the money and account book from her trip to Condor City.
Matthew was not in a hurry to check these.
Instead, he pulled Lara to his studio to sit for a while.
The two of them chatted about her trip to the South.
So, is most of the rainforest closed?â
Matthew handed her a glass of milk.
Lara took the milk but didnât drink it.
âYes, at least three-quarters of the rainforest that we passed through before has been sealed off.
âIâm guessing itâs the soul of the rainforestâs self-protection measureâ
âLarge patches of thorns surrounded the rainforest, and only a small number of natives could pass through these thorns.
âWhen I passed by, I noticed some outsiders.
âThey came from Marsh Water City or some small settlements in the northwest.
âWhen these people approached the rainforest, they all showed very serious symptoms of voodoo curses. I suspect that something has happened in the rainforest recently, which is why the Soul of the Rainforest has no choice but to use more extreme methods to counter it.
âFortunately, I wasnât targeted by the Soul of the Rainforest, so I managed to reach the Gold Coast relatively smoothly.
âAs for Condor City, many things happened after we left.
âIâve secretly asked around, and the biggest news is that Yu Lian joined forces with many forces inside and outside the city to force the original city lord of Condor City to step down. After that, he became the new city lord of Condor City.
âDuring this period, the city of Condor was in turmoil, and the shops of the Oak Chamber of Commerce were forced to close for a long time.
âFortunately, our products are indeed in high demand on the Gold Coast. It didnât take long for them to trigger a hot sale.
âSulfur essence sold the fastest.
âNext was the Frost Storm Scroll and the Dust of Reflection. âGreen herbal medicine is average;
âThe one with the least market is the sword oil you forced on me.â
Matthew smiled helplessly and did not explain too much about the origin of the sword oil.
âHas Yu Lian become the City Lord of Condor City? Did that fatty make things difficult for you?â he asked.
Lara shook her head.
âOn the surface, Yu Lian still respects you, and the operations of the Oak Chamber of Commerce have not been affected.
âHowever, in secret, I still felt that it was a little inappropriate, so I fired the shop assistant he had recruited for us.
âAfter that, I found two Jango hybrids to temporarily take charge of the storeâs security and sales.
âTheir abilities might not be as strong as the people introduced by Yu Lian, but they were more reliable.
âIâve thought about it carefully. Our products donât actually need too much marketing skills. The scarcity itself is enough to attract a large number of customers.
âMost of the time, our shelves are empty.
âInstead of opening the shop every day, itâs better to open it at specific points instead.â
At this point.
She said nervously,
âIâm sorry for replacing the shop assistant without reporting to you.â Matthew shook his head.
â Youâre the president of the Oak Chamber of Commerce. Iâve promised you before that your salary will be highly related to the profits of the Chamber of Commerce. I believe that youâll do your best and make a decision that is in line with the interests of the Chamber of Commerce.
âYu Lian is indeed not someone easy to deal with. He is an out-and-out schemer. It is normal to be wary of him. If it were me, I would have done the same. In addition, Iâm impressed that you can think of a good business strategy.â
Lara was at a loss when she heard Matthewâs praise.
She only pursed her lips tightly, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
Then, Matthew counted the accounts and cash.
On this trip, Lara brought back 6000 gold coins in cash, 30,000 gold coins for underwater breathing potions, and some local specialities from the city of Condor.
This batch of Underwater Breathing Potions was to be sold at the trading station. Assuming everything went smoothly, it was estimated that they could recover about 240,000 gold coins!
In addition, goods worth about 12,000 gold coins were slowly being sold in the shops of Condor City.
According to the current sales speed.
As long as Lara made two or three more trips.
The assets of the Oak Chamber of Commerce would rapidly expand to more than a million!
Of course.
Matthew also knew that this rate of expansion was not sustainable.
In fact, this batch of Underwater Breathing Potions was enough for the southern market to digest for a long time.
If they sold it all at once, the price would quickly drop. After all, the market demand and purchasing power were there.
However, Matthew was not in a hurry.
The Oak Chamber of Commerceâs framework was set up. Next, he could try to resell other varieties.
He even got involved in the operation of some products that were not profitable but had a larger volume.
In that case, he might need to establish his own caravan.
As long as Matthew did not completely fall out with the Goddess of Moonlight.
This mode could continue.
This was the unique advantage of the Oak Chamber of Commerce..
