The next morning.
The storm had passed, and the blue sky indicated that today was a good day for sailing.
After Lin En and Baki parted ways, they headed to their respective destinations.
Lin En's destination this time was Orange Town.
……
Orange Town was a relatively young town.
It was the result of the hard work of the townspeople under the leadership of Mayor Budol.
There were many new immigrants in this small town, most of whom were young people.
The main reason why they came to this new town and started a new life was that this place was not under the jurisdiction of the government and could be exempted from a large amount of taxes.
Of course, there were pros and cons.
This newly built town would also lose its protection and become the target of the pirates.
If Lin En didn't interfere, this place would become the headquarters of the Baji Pirates in a few years.
However, the current Orange Town was still relatively brave.
They were a group of pioneers with courage and a yearning for a better life.
When Lin En's boat docked, he was also welcomed.
As usual, Lin En was selling at the dock. However, the price of the goods he was selling this time was relatively cheap.
"Lin En, thank you for bringing us cheap goods.”
"Thank you, Lyn."
"Lin En, you will definitely make a fortune.”
The men and women of the town welcomed Lin En with a warm atmosphere.
"Lin En, long time no see."
Budol took the initiative to greet Lin En.
As the mayor of this town, it was his responsibility to build the town and make it more prosperous.
Lin En took the initiative to shake hands with Budol and said,"Mr. Mayor, the farming tools and machinery you need are already on the ship. You can come and receive them now.”
"Thank you so much, Lin En," said Budol gratefully."If it weren't for you, our lives would have been even more difficult.”
"Mr. Mayor, please don't say that. It's my honor to be able to help you."”
As a 'young' town.
Orange Town needed a lot of resources. Farm tools, seeds, machinery, and so on were the most basic.
Of course, what they needed the most was a loan.
However, Lin En had no plans to open a bank at the moment.
The bank was a financial beast that could absorb the deposits of customers in a short period of time and lend out the funds to earn huge profits.
However, banks needed to have a high enough reputation and sufficient security.
Lin En was encouraging Baki to rob a bank, and he was not stupid enough to open a bank now.
As for his reputation, Lin En was also working hard to improve and maintain his personal image.
Selling farming tools, machinery, seeds, etc.
The profits were very low, and they occupied the space in the cabin.
However, he was like a capitalist who poured milk in a factory while doing charity in an orphanage.
Reputation was sometimes an asset.
Lin En could use the image of a profiteer to deal with pirates, or he could use a friendly appearance to deal with ignorant civilians.
Then, accompanied by Boudol, Lin En toured the refinery in Orange Town.
This factory was jointly invested and built by Lin En and Orange Town.
Lin En was responsible for providing the technology and funding, while Orange Town was responsible for providing the manpower.
The product refined by the factory was the essential oil of flowers.
Refining the essential oil of flowers was not a very complicated process.
The simplest method was to distill.
When the plant ingredients were placed in boiling water, the essential oil containing fragrance would escape with the steam. When the steam condensed into water, the oil would float on the surface of the water and then be collected.
This process might have to be repeated a few times to get the highest purity of the essential oil.
Of course, the craftsmanship was still being improved.
Ever since Lin En and Budol opened the factory together, they had been collecting new methods of retorting to increase the purity of essential oil.
However, the production of perfume was not a secret. The key was how to make a more attractive perfume.
The proportion of the perfume was the real core, and Lin En did not let the people of Orange Town know.
Similarly, Budol didn't know that Lyn was making counterfeit perfume.
Budol had always thought that Lin En was selling the essential oil they produced as perfume raw materials to perfume factories.
"If the new machine is completed, our production next month will double," said Budol excitedly.”
Lin En's purchase price of essential oil was actually not high.
Of course, it was much more profitable than simply growing food.
Therefore, other than the necessary food planting, Orange Town tried to reclaim the flower fields as much as possible.
Lin En also smiled and gave his blessings."That's great. This way, everyone's lives will become better.”
"We're really lucky to have met such a good person like you, Lyn," said Budol sincerely.”
After Lin En and Budol left the refinery, they immediately began to visit the newly opened flower fields.
Budol proudly introduced their plan.
Every piece of land was contracted.
Everyone in the town had a stable income.
It was as if everyone could be happy.
However, in Lin En's eyes, the efficiency of these people was too low, and the labor cost was relatively high.
If the conditions allowed, he was prepared to buy more slaves and start a large-scale plantation.
However, it was not convenient to buy and sell slaves in Eastern Sea.
Moreover, it would also damage his image as a 'good person'.
……
Although the residents of Orange Town were very enthusiastic about Lin En, Budol also held a banquet in the evening to celebrate Lin En's arrival.
However, Lin En did not stay in Orange Town for long.
The next morning, after loading the essential oil onto the ship, Lin En left Orange Town and continued sailing.
He still had to go to a few small towns to continue purchasing agricultural products and raw materials.
This included some rare spices.
It was only five days later that Lin En arrived at West Luo Bu Village.
West Robb Village was Lin En's home in this world.
He was born here, grew up here, studied here, and went to sea from here.
Of course, before he went out to sea, he had also received a loan from the wealthy businessman, Cameron.
Cameron was Keya's father.
Lin En would often return to West Robb Village to meet with Cameron.
Firstly, it was out of gratitude, and secondly, it was to maintain a relationship with Cameroun.
Cameron was a very famous and wealthy businessman.
Especially when it came to business and politics.
At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce that Cameron belonged to had a certain amount of influence on the great sea route.
Apart from that, the relationship between Lin En and the members of the Jesus family could also improve his relationship with the Red-Haired Pirates.
As an excellent businessman, not only did he have to set a lofty goal.
At the same time, he had to be as flawless as possible in terms of interpersonal relationships.
Regardless of whether he could use it now or not, he would not let himself suffer in the future.
For example, Lin En planned to invest in Usopp.
Just like how Cameron had invested in Lin En.
