Chapter 139: Exploding Gold Coins
A castle in the lakeside city was bought, and after renovation by the engineering team, it was quickly turned into a modern shopping mall building.
The only line pulled out in the city is connected to it, which is used for basic power and network transmission.
Chen Lin and his party drove into the city, and within a few meters they felt that the roads were getting crowded.
The aisles on both sides were actually crowded with people at this time. The two cars could not move any faster in it. In the end, the guards got out of the car and forcibly blocked a passage in front. Only then did the vehicles reach their destination smoothly. .
Chen Lin's arrival was also greeted in advance, so as soon as the vehicle stopped, someone came up to greet him.
The person who came introduced himself as Li Haowu. He was the person in charge of Lakeside City and a staff member directly recruited from the outpost.
After the meeting, Director Li greeted Chen Lin warmly, and then motioned for them to follow him into the building.
It was Chen Lin's first time here. Since he was not familiar with the road, he naturally had no other ideas. He followed Director Li and entered the castle directly from the back door.
Immediately afterwards, I just felt my eyes light up.
Chen Lin was slightly startled by the scene that appeared in front of him.
At this time, the castle seemed to be holding a grand party. The hall on the first floor of the castle was full of people of all kinds. The door in the distance was opened directly, and people outside were crowded who wanted to go into the castle. People lined up in long lines.
This scene is so much like visiting a mall on Earth!
No wonder they can't even drive in. It's because the business here is so good that the crowd has blocked the entire front door.
Director Li led everyone to stop briefly on the first floor, and then motioned for everyone to take the elevator to the second floor.
"And there's an elevator?"
Chen Lin came back to his senses, smiled and said: "It really looks like an ordinary shopping mall."
"I have everything I need. This is the feeling I want."
Several people followed Li Haowu into the elevator and noticed that it was specially designed to be made of glass, so that they could perfectly see the scene of the castle hall on the first floor.
A huge castle hall was completely transformed into the first floor of a shopping mall. The items sold at the counter near the door looked like jewelry. Chen Lin immediately pointed to the door and asked, and the answers he received were quite surprising. almost.
"What we sell are top-quality artificial diamond jewelry. Our craftsmanship is now top-notch. The broken diamonds and large diamond blocks produced in the Central Plains are unexpectedly popular with them."
Li Haowu chuckled and pointed at the many Coman ladies and young girls standing in front of the counter in the door area below, "They had been holding back for a long time because of the war. After the orc army was confirmed to be wiped out, they couldn't wait to come out and consume. "
When Chen Lin heard this, he immediately laughed: "How much is it selling for? Shouldn't we also provide them with any certification document to say the value of this thing?" The middle-aged man next to him laughed for a while, then turned around and said He said, "I used the old tricks of selling these things from the Earth to them, and it works very well! On the first day, the revenue from selling these artificial diamonds alone exceeded 2000 Mavia gold coins."
"A Mavia gold coin weighs about 22g, and the gold content fluctuates around 70%. If calculated as 70%, a gold coin is about 15g, and the gold price is calculated as 450, then the income from selling these diamonds alone on the first day will be nearly 1400 million yuan.”
The person in charge smiled and gave Chen Lin's analysis data, "These diamonds are not expensive, one gold coin per carat. The ladies of the Coman Empire like these unique jewelry."
"It's a bit like a profiteer..."
Chen Lin said to the man beside him, causing Li Haowu to laugh again: "Aren't we here just to mine, raise and grow vegetables and make money? I am a serious gang outpost making money. Not even a little bit for yourself!"
Chen Lin nodded towards him in approval, and then said: "But speaking of it, the purchasing power of these ladies of the Coman Empire is beyond my imagination. They seem to be very rich."
Li Haowu quite agreed with Chen Lin's statement.
"Most of these women are the wives or mistresses of the city's executives and leaders. The Coman Empire was at least a powerful human empire at the time. When it was prosperous, it outnumbered other empires for decades, and they also managed to save some wealth. .”
He said with a smile: "I have made a dowry for us. When the goods behind us arrive, I will make these women crazy about it again."
Chen Lin and the people next to him looked at each other, and they all felt that the person in charge Li in front of him was a born businessman. It was perfect to recruit him here! If this trend continues, this shopping mall will probably make these ladies in the city burst into gold coins. As new goods arrive one after another, the gold coins in their hands will gradually decrease!
Everyone followed Li Haowu's steps and went directly to the third floor. Chen Lin noticed that it had been transformed into a place for selling groceries, and downstairs was a daily necessities area.
“Originally I planned to put all kinds of tools and farm implements here, but then I thought the design might be a little unreasonable, so I put all these things at the bottom.”
Li Haowu led everyone to a room. It was obvious that his office was on the third floor.
"This is my office. Haha, this is also the study room of the former owner of this castle, which was transformed into an office space."
He opened the door without any scruples. The bright and spacious inside was quite spacious. Chen Lin and two guards entered. The others spread out to guard the surroundings. After all, there were still many citizens of Lakeside City on the third floor. Wander around and look at the goods.
"This is a test field. It is the first shopping mall type place we have built here. It seems that the response has been pretty good."
Li Haowu personally poured tea for Chen Lin, and said while making tea: "The only drawback is that the Coman Empire is too vast and sparsely populated, so the flow of people is still a little less. The previous war caused the south bank of the Hope River to With 26% to [-]% of the people dead, Lakeside City is considered a lone seedling. According to our statistics, the current total number of people in the city is only [-]. For the Coman Empire, this number is already considered a big city."
"The old general Ferriton Fran told me that there were over 30 residents in Lakeside City at the beginning, and about 20 outside the city. But when the war came, it was almost uninhabited for hundreds of miles."
He handed the cigarette to Chen Lin. When he saw Chen Lin waving his hand towards him to indicate that he would not smoke, he lit one on his own: "The new lakeside city outside the city is about to be built. I think what the base means is At that time, we will carry out the immigration plan for people from other worlds, and then we will gather all the refugees and disaster victims who have survived around us and move them here."
Chen Lin thought about it carefully and realized that this was a good thing.
Gathering the survivors together into one large gathering is a win-win situation for both the outpost and the Koman Empire! (End of this chapter)
