Flattery, scheming, or forming cliques for personal gain.
Karp really hated the way things worked.
However, Karp didn't hate Lyn.
Although Karp didn't like to deal with merchants, he had a similar resonance with Lyn.
Lin En was a determined and pure man.
If it were anyone else who received Karp's invitation, they would definitely be extremely excited and grateful, joining the navy without hesitation.
But Lin En did not do so.
Although it was a pity, Karp respected Lin En's decision.
Besides, Karp felt that he could help Lin En.
Karp wasn't the only one who admired Lyn. He could also tell that Luffy admired Lyn, and Makino liked Lyn as well.
Actually, what Karp was best at was protecting his own people.
As long as it was one of his own or someone he recognized, he would take care of them.
For example, adopting and taking care of Ace, letting Dadan go, and so on.
Karp was completely different from the Red Hound. He wasn't stupid for the sake of justice.
Therefore, in Karp's eyes, he recognized Lin En as someone he could take care of.
"I'll accompany you to Roguetown on this return trip," said Karp.”
Lin En stood up and smiled gratefully.""Thank you, Uncle Karp."
With Karp accompanying him on this trip, his connections and background would be confirmed, and it would allow Lin En to travel more freely in Donghai.
……
Apart from staying here, he also planned to make some investments.
For example, using Windmill Village as a stronghold to build granaries and collect food from the Kingdom of Jaya.
Other than that, he could also set up some small workshops to produce cloth.
Therefore, Lin En went to find the village chief, Slap.
Village Chief Slap and Karp grew up together and had a close relationship with him.
After Lin En arrived at Windmill Village, he used a 'reasonable' price to purchase the farm products of Windmill Village.
They had also brought a large number of fresh goods to Windmill Village.
At the same time, in Slap's opinion, Lin En would become the son-in-law of Windmill Village sooner or later.
Since Lyn could leave a high score in Karp's heart, Slapp's evaluation was also extremely important.
At this moment, Village Chief Slap was smoking a cigar and reading the newspaper.
The cigar that Lin En gave him was a good thing. It was much better than the tobacco he rolled himself.
"Village Chief." Lin En walked into Slap's courtyard.
Slap stood up and asked,"It's Lin En. What's the matter?"”
"I plan to set up a gauze workshop in the village to make bandages," said Lin En. In this way, the women in the village can earn some extra money when they are free. What do you think of 800 Bailey per hour?”
"Gauze workshop? That's a good idea."
Si Pu La also thought it was a good idea.
"In addition, I plan to build a granary in the village to purchase food from the Kingdom of Jaya. I need the people in the village to help me manage it."”
After the grain was transported in, it had to be maintained regularly to prevent it from getting wet and moldy.
Therefore, they needed to hire workers.
"How many people do we need?" asked Spra.”
"The gauze workshop needs ten people for the time being. Of course, more people will be hired in the future.
As for the warehouse, he would hire five people for the time being. The monthly salary would be 300,000 Bailey.”
Lin En's salary was neither high nor low.
However, the job of guarding the warehouse was relatively easier.
The old men in the village who had some free time could do it.
Of course, hiring long-term employees meant increasing costs.
Five people, 1.5 million Bailey a month, 18 million Bailey a year.
There was also the money to build the warehouse.
As for the female spinners, it was also a fixed cost.
An hour's salary was 800 Bailey. If a female worker worked 10 hours a day, that would be 8000 Bailey. That would be 240,000 Bailey a month.
10 female workers, 2.4 million Bailey a month, 28.8 million Bailey a year.
Of course, he couldn't catch the wolf without giving up the child.
Although the profits of traveling merchants were not low, they were not stable enough.
Only by owning an industry and truly starting to produce goods would one be able to steadily earn money.
Of course, although imitation and high-quality imitation were also industries, this kind of business could not be seen in the light.
……
With Spula's help, the recruitment of workers in the workshop and granary went smoothly.
The only thing left was to choose the address.
The workshop was simpler, and there were some empty houses in the village that no one lived in.
Si Pu La directly gave it to Lin En for free.
At the same time, there was a barn not far from the village, and the surrounding empty space could also be used by Lin En.
Si Pu La and the others really didn't treat Lin En as an outsider.
As for the rest, Lin En only needed to transport the machines and raw materials into the windmill village to start production.
At the same time, Lin En needed to make a trip to the Jaya Kingdom to contact the local nobles regarding the purchase of food.
Lin En was very efficient. The next day, he went to the capital of the Kingdom of Jaya to look for nobles to buy food.
The nobles had a lot of land and stored a lot of food.
Although there were merchants who would come to purchase regularly, it was not the first time that Lyn had come into contact with nobles. He believed that he had a way to make a deal.
At the same time, Lin En also planned to discuss the business of plum wine with the nobles.
And the person he chose this time was Altruk III.
Rukeort III was Sabot's father, a typical noble of the Gaia Kingdom.
Although he was a noble, Alluk III was relatively cold to family.
He was more concerned about the status and wealth that nobles should have.
It was because of this that Sabot chose to run away from home.
This wasn't the first time that Lyn had visited Rookort III.
Luke Otto III had a good impression of this merchant.
The Jaya Kingdom was a little 'remote'. In the eyes of the world's major powers, it was just a small country in the countryside.
Perhaps, the more humble one was, the more they wanted to highlight their nobility.
The nobles needed almost all of the luxury goods that Lin En brought to the capital of Gaya.
Even if they had bought too much, they might not be able to finish it even if they used it for decades.
For the nobles, if they did not buy luxury goods, how could they show off their status and wealth?
Upon seeing Lin En, Luke Otter III asked,""Mr. Lin En, what good things did you bring this time?”
If he could buy the luxury goods that Lin En brought, he would definitely be in the limelight in front of the nobles.
Lin En took out the plum wine.
The moment he opened the bottle cap.
The fragrance completely attracted Alluk III.
He had never drunk this wine before.
He guaranteed that the people of the Kingdom of Jaya had never drunk it before.
" This wine is made with hundreds of precious spices," said Lin En." It's personally brewed by the world-famous winemaker, Tony Mapley. Less than 10,000 bottles are produced a year. Have you heard of Tony Mapley?”
Who was Tony Maple?
Naturally, Rukeort III had never heard of it.
Luke Ottle III definitely hadn't heard of him because Tony Maple was the owner of a winery in Shields Town. He was just an ordinary person.
However, Altluk III was a noble, and Master Tony was a world-famous winemaker. How could he not have heard of him?
"Of course, of course I've heard of it. I still can't forget the fine wine he brewed.”
Rukort III replied seriously, as if he had really drunk it.
Lin En looked at Altruk III's reaction and smiled.
This fat sheep was definitely going to be slaughtered.
