Chapter 193 Thriving
Two mermaids swam over with their beautiful tails and slender waists, holding a unique deep-sea drink in their hands.
Luo Lan thanked the mermaid maid and took a sip of the deep-sea drink. The cold feeling entered the throat and spread throughout the body, making it extremely comfortable.
"It's delicious." Luo Lan took three sips and put down the drink.
The Mermaid Prince continued: "If there is no accident, I will be stationed in Luolan Port. I will give you a copy of all the materials that can be sold in our Mermaid Empire, and you will choose what you need; similarly, we will list the resources we need, and you can choose whether to provide them. Apart from you, we do not interact with any other forces, you are the only collaborator of our Mermaid Empire."
Luo Lan frowned and asked, "If I remember correctly, the currency of your mermaid empire is gold shells, our currency is gold carats, and the mermaid empire does not need gold. How do we trade? It is obviously not possible to simply barter."
"We have considered this issue. The Mermaid Empire is vast and has endless wealth, but it still lacks elemental crystals, especially high-quality rare crystals. We can trade elemental crystals as general equivalents. Our Mermaid Empire ranks and weighs elemental crystals like the Blue Continent. In order to facilitate transactions, we have marked the market price of each material and the lowest price for you in the sale list, and the highest purchase price of each material in the acquisition list." The Mermaid Prince said.
When Luo Lan heard this, he knew that Vinas had made great efforts in it, not only to ensure the interests of the Mermaid Empire, but also to make Luo Langang earn the most, which is very rare.
Luo Lan stood up, shook hands with the mermaid prince, and said, "I will send someone to negotiate tomorrow. Unfortunately, you can't log in, otherwise I will definitely hold a banquet for you."
The mermaid prince smiled and said, "You should treat me as an ordinary citizen of Luo Langang." As he said that, he took out a photo pearl, which lists the details of all the supplies needed and sold by the mermaid empire.
Luo Lan left the dock and asked the magicians from the alchemy room to come back, then formed a huge team to start studying the supplies on the pearls.
Marine materials mainly include six categories: ore, sea monster materials, magical marine plants, magic crystals, marine magic weapons and marine luxury goods.
Due to environmental problems, the seamen's metal smelting level is low. Only those rare metals can be smelted by professional sea craftsmen. Almost no one cares about ordinary and precious metals. The seamen's weapons and equipment are almost all taken from various sea monsters, with good water resistance and no worse power than human weapons, but they cannot be used on land.
Therefore, the useless ore in the eyes of seafarers is an important resource needed by humans. The Mermaid Empire offers very preferential prices in terms of ore, only calculating mining and transportation costs. The price of the ore itself is simply the same as sand. The assistants of the Earl's Mansion roughly estimate that within three years, Luolan Port will become the largest ore supplier in the Blue Continent, and the income of ore alone can compare to Luolan Port's current total income.
However, metal smelting is too polluted by the environment. Luo Lan is only planning to build a small factory at the edge of the territory, the farthest from Luo Lan Port. As long as it meets Luo Lan Port's own needs, it does not require money to ensure the excellent natural environment of Luo Lan Port.
Sea monsters are monsters in the sea. The monsters in the ocean are almost endless. They are a huge treasure house. High-end sea monsters are limited, but low-end sea monster magic materials can be seen everywhere. If it weren't for fear of the Mermaid Empire and the Shark Empire, Nesseri's mages would have long relied on magic cruise ships to hunt far-sea.
Sea monsters and plant magic materials are regarded as one, and are divided into three levels: high, medium and low.
With a large number of low-end magic materials, Luolangang will have a new magic tool manufacturing industry in addition to the Magic Pharmaceuticals.
Luo Langang is currently not strong enough and is only preparing to process low-end magic materials to make various low-end but practical and relatively cheap magic tools. Magic tools are simplified versions of magic weapons, which have poor magic functions, but do not require elemental crystals or magic to use, and can automatically absorb surrounding elements to supplement them.
This type of thing seems to be cheap, ranging from hardware to fifty gold carats, but because the materials are cheap, the profit is amazing.
The magic tool factory does not need a magician, as long as there are a large number of magic apprentices, it can develop healthily, so the magic tool factory is also a magic apprentice training base in Luolangang.
Mid-range materials are used to process formal magic weapons. In this regard, Luolan Port has insufficient manpower and all aspects. The Earl's Mansion finally decided to establish another "joint venture alchemy room" in Luolan Port. The Butterfly Mountain family paid money and people produced magic, and Luolan Port produced materials and landed. At the same time, the joint venture alchemy room will serve as the magician training base for Luolan Port.
The export of high-end materials was restricted by the Heman Empire laws. Luo Lan prepared to keep one third of them and sell one third of them. The last third invested in establishing a cooperative alchemy room with the Royal Magic Association, making the cooperative alchemy room a training base for the senior magicians in Luo Lan Port.
Magic tool manufacturing is a low-pollution industry. Once the industry of Luolan Port is formed, let alone make money. The most important thing is to continuously cultivate magical talents for Luolan Port, and become the "Little Neseri" of the Homan Empire is just around the corner.
Not to mention the Earl's Mansion, even if the Notting royal family cannot swallow these things, finding someone to cooperate is the best way.
There are many types of elemental crystals and magic crystals in the ocean, and the overall output is more than that in the Herman continent. However, because of the large number of sea people and the complex environment in the sea, there is also a great demand for elemental crystals and magic crystals.
Elemental crystals are equivalent to energy, and the mermaid empire itself is scarce and will not be exported. However, the mermaid empire will export magic crystals that they do not need, such as dimensional crystals, which are essential for making magic bags and space bags, and humans are in urgent need of them. But the sea people are different. They use magic shells to make shell spaces directly, and there is no need for dimensional crystals at all.
Similarly, humans also have magic crystals that they don’t use, such as breathing crystals and clean crystals. The former can slowly convert water into air, while the latter can clean up scale. Humans need it very little, but the sea people need it very much.
Rare magic crystals such as plane crystals, teleportation crystals, elemental colored diamonds, etc. are needed by both parties, and no one is willing to sell them.
Not to mention the Blue Continent, even the extremely attached positions of the Gods Realm have a great demand for crystals, especially the special and super crystals.
Marine magic weapons are relatively simple. Because the environments on land and oceans are different, there is little demand for marine magic weapons. However, ocean freighters and passenger ships need special marine magic weapons, such as predicting storms, avoiding waves, and soothing the emotions of sea monsters.
The last marine luxury item is easy to deal with, such as pearls, corals and various gemstones, and human demand is also very large in this regard.
Rare treasures such as the Holy Mermaid Tears and the Holy Sea Dragon Materials are all available in limited quantities, and Luo Lan will take them all by themselves.
There is no doubt that once the two sides enter into trade, Luolan Port will be rich enough to rival a country, and both the Notting Kingdom and the Holman Empire will benefit from it.
After overnight discussion, the people from the Earl's Mansion finally formulated a preliminary trading plan. But the biggest problem is that once Luolan Port is traded, Luolan Port will be overcrowded by then, and the current city will be expanded again, and it is too late.
Luo Lan immediately made a decision and invited the magicians of the Notting Royal Family and the Royal Magic Association to allow them to expand Luolan Port for free, otherwise they would not get the benefit of a penny from Luolan Port in the future.
At dawn, Luo Lan found Louis and then took out the cursive script of the joint venture alchemy room. Louis immediately sent a magic message to the Butterfly Mountain family. The Butterfly Mountain family actually used the power of the whole family to collectively transmit a hundred magicians to come by before noon - more than 80 advanced magicians, more than ten high-ranking magicians, four superior mages and an initial magic saint!
The Butterfly Mountain family will send a magic cruise ship to Luolan Port tomorrow, sending the family's magic apprentices and low-level magicians to help Luolan build a magic tool factory in advance and train Luolan Port's magic apprentices.
At the same time, Louis promised that he would take advantage of the privileges of the Butterfly Mountain family to recruit magic apprentice workers in the Nethery Empire, and at least two thousand people can be recruited in one month!
On the first day when the mermaid prince arrived at Luolan Port, Luolan Port became the focus of the Notting Kingdom; on the second day, it became the focus of the Homan Empire; on the third day, Luolan Port almost became the center of the blue continent, and representatives of various countries and forces entered Luolan Port, turning Luolan Port into the World Expo.
Although there are many people coming to Luolan Port and there are many superior strong people from all countries, no one dares to act wildly. A single rule of the sea dragon can shock everyone.
Also on the third day after the Mermaid Prince arrived in Luolan Port, the Notting Royal Family and the Royal Mage Association sent a large number of magicians to Luolan Port, including two initial mages, twenty superior mages, hundreds of ** masters, and a large number of other magicians.
These high-ranking magicians all became coolies and began to use magic to expand Luolan Port.
The mages expanded the urban area of Luolan Port, and the sea monsters brought by the Mermaid Prince helped expand the wharf, and the entire Luolan Port was trapped in a bustling construction.
Luo Lan also issued a notice that after the city was expanded, all the formal residents of Luo Lan Port would be assigned several new houses if they had a few people in their family! As soon as this news came out, the city was full of carnival, and the statue of Luo Lan in the city center had a qualitative change. When people saw the statue, they couldn't help but recall the achievements and kindness of Count Luo Lan.
Ness's father, Baron Humphrey, is probably the most depressing person in Luo Langang. He originally planned to resign in the situation in Luo Langang, but not only did his daughter get trapped, but he also got himself in. Humphrey had to continue to be the Secretary for Finance and work hard for Luo Lan, otherwise his wife would not let him go to bed and his daughter would not talk to him.
Moore, who has the "merit of support", became the official chief of the security chief of Luo Langang, holding heavy power.
Catherine also began to get busy. She now wants to promote the Fire Mercenary Group to a large Mercenary Group, and add up to 500 people.
King Notting and Grand Duke Barlow officially announced the expansion of the road to Luolan Port, and announced a joint fight against bandits in the territory.
At this time, Luo Langang recruited high-level warriors, magic apprentices and swordsmen with high salaries in the name of expanding private soldiers and family mercenaries, and did not demand his previous identity.
Luo Langang continues to change...
The Luolan Port changed every year decades ago. After Luo Lan appeared, Luolan Port changed every month; but now, Luolan Port changed every day.
With the help of a large number of magicians, Luo Lan Port's new city doubled, but Luo Lan was still not satisfied. Anyway, these are coolies who don't spend money and ordered the magician to continue to expand, with the goal of living in large cities with a population of one million.
These magicians worked for three months before they escaped from the sea of suffering, and Luo Langang became their nightmare land. Many magicians vowed to never use the two magical magic "turn mud into stone" and "advanced rock technique" in this life.
Luolangang is completely renewed. From a high point, wide roads radiate in all directions, and vibrant green trees are planted on both sides of the road; two-story small buildings are lined up one after another, and the white walls reflect dazzling light; each building has a courtyard with all kinds of strange flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, which is so beautiful.
In the past, Luolan Port was a crowded commercial port and a fishy fishing port, but now Luolan Port has become a veritable garden city.
One month after the Mermaid Prince arrived at Luolan Port, the source of marine resources was continuously sent to Luolan Port, and Luolan Port became a transit station for the Blue Continent, transporting various marine supplies to other ports in the mainland, and at the same time reselling mainland supplies to the Mermaid Empire.
The alchemy room and factories in Luolan Port have been started one after another, and the potion factory and magic tool factory are fully launched. With the strong support of the Notting Royal Family, the Royal Mage Society and the Butterfly Mountain Family, the luxury goods of Nice, the medicine of Catherine, the daily necessities of Susan and the magic tools of Aphra were sold to the Heman Empire and the Nethery Empire without any obstacles.
Soon, other countries discovered a trick - Luolan Port's marine supplies quota are regular. Any country or region that sells more Luolan Port brands will get more marine supplies, otherwise it will be relatively rare.
Many of the marine supplies are extremely important strategic resources, which are so many that the Homan Empire cannot afford to eat. So they simply turn a blind eye and let Luolan Port sell these prohibited materials, provided that they have to pay sufficient taxes.
Therefore, in order to buy more important materials, all countries and forces approved Luo Lan's bundled sales with their noses, actively represented Luo Lan's products, actively advertised for Luo Lan, and actively opened up the market for Luo Lan.
In just one year, both the Jerusalem Holy See, the Art Kingdom, which is famous for its conservatism, the Art Kingdom, which is famous for its fashion, the Elf Kingdom, which is famous for its exquisiteness, or the Metrus-Bank Empire, the rival country of the Homan Empire, Luo Langang products have appeared.
Other countries are better, but the big merchants of the Metru Empire imitated Luo Langang's products at the first time, and then exchanged them for brand trademarks for sale - under magic, there is no secret of these things.
However, the cheap magic tools and high-end luxury goods in Luolangang cannot be imitated because the price of magic tools is too low and the cost of imitation by merchants is too high; the raw materials of luxury goods may come from the Druid Holy Land or from the monopoly resources of the ocean. Some simply contain the spring of awakening, and they cannot imitate it, and the effect of the imitation is far from that of Luolangang.
Because the demand is too high, the potion factories and magic tools factories in Luolan Port have to recruit workers within the entire Holman Empire, and the Butterfly Mountain family constantly recruits workers from the Neseri Empire to Luolan Port, which even caused prosecutions from other magic nobles.
With almost unlimited marine resources and without any financial pressure to develop, Luo Langang is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball, and sooner or later it will become a terrifying monster.
This year is the most critical period for Luolan Port. Luolan never leaves Luolan Port and personally takes command. Once there are any bad signs, they will be extinguished directly to ensure that the foundation of Luolan Port is solid.
Luo Lan was busy for a whole year in this state of pain and happiness.
No matter how busy he is, he practices at least eight hours of swords every day, ensuring four hours of sword cultivation. After a year of accumulation, Luo Lan's foundation is stronger and his strength is getting stronger. He is only half a step away from being promoted to a higher swordsman.
However, when Luo Lan was preparing to attack the superior swordsman, a big problem arose. Luo Lan Port has few elemental crystals and magic crystals, and the Mermaid Empire urgently needs a large amount of crystals.
