Chapter 232: Chapter 161: Someone Backed by Marquis Reman Wants to Develop My Chamber of Commerce? (Part 2)

Having more gold coins allows Tono to develop even more rapidly.

In the Northern Province, Thor hopes not only for his own development, but also anticipates the flourishing of his entire family.

After all, the development of the family is inevitably reflected back on oneself.

The smooth progress in the Northern Province is already a proof of this.

And leaving Thor’s room.

Though Tono was somewhat perplexed, he quickly began to act.

Soon, a Knight Order of over a hundred set out.

Towards the Pig Beast nest.

Time passed slowly.

The next morning, as the dawn’s sunlight spilled over.

Thor had just woken up.

He learned that Rajos had returned.

Thor didn’t bother with breakfast, instead he first met with Rajos.

"How’s the situation?"

Thor looked at Rajos, with a hint of tension.

Now more than half a month has passed, and in the entire Northern Province, the lords prepared for unilateral withdrawal have already completed it.

So now it’s time to see the results of this operation.

Thor is still very concerned about this.

Although this operation directly yielded 170,000 gold coins.

Once the Eagle Merchant Association is established, the gains won’t just be 170,000 gold coins, it could potentially be 1.7 million.

Under such circumstances, any attention paid is not excessive.

"Sir, twelve large iron ore mines, seven large copper mines, one silver ore mine, seventeen agate deposits, making a total of thirty-seven mines, and so far, we have acquired over forty-two mines."

Listening to Thor’s inquiry, Rajos couldn’t help but show excitement on his face, and he quickly spoke, gradually narrating the achievements of this period.

"Forty-two?"

Upon hearing Rajos’s words, Thor’s expression could not help but show a hint of surprise.

"Yes, forty-two. Originally there were indeed only thirty-seven, but actually, the Spencer Family gained one more large iron ore, and the Walt Clan also gained another iron ore, besides that there were two families not previously explored who also chose to withdraw."

"So ultimately we secured a total of forty-two mineral deposits, including fifteen large iron ore sites, seven large copper mines, one silver ore, and nineteen agate deposits."

"Additionally, we’ve obtained 210,000 slaves."

Rajos spoke, his words accompanied by a flush on his face.

That was produced by excitement.

The harvest this time, even for Rajos, far exceeded his imagination.

The immense profits, he couldn’t conceive how immense the value would be once developed.

Even if his share of the profit was merely four percent, it was still a staggering figure.

How could such results not be exciting.

"Good!"

"Hahaha, what a pleasant surprise!"

"Excellent!"

And listening to Rajos’s report, Thor couldn’t help but stand up, eyes gleaming with excitement.

In his excitement, Thor began pacing back and forth in the room.

"Rajos, how should we handle the newly added territories?"

After pacing for a while, Thor suddenly thought of something, as the excitement gradually subsided, he looked at Rajos again with focus.

After the excitement.

Thor quickly noticed the problem within.

Previously managing thirty-seven mines with the Eagle Merchant Association’s capacity was already challenging, now with an additional five territories, control would undoubtedly become more difficult.

If this problem isn’t resolved.

The extra mines wouldn’t mean much.

This is a crucial point.

"Sir, currently we are indeed short-handed."

"But even though we are short, that doesn’t mean the Habbs Commerce Association is as well."

"The recent Beastman attacks have ended, renting Great Knights has reverted to its original price, at a cost of one thousand gold coins per year, which should still be very affordable."

Rajos said with a smile.

Listening to Rajos’s words, Thor couldn’t help but be taken aback.

"Habbs Commerce Association?"

He spoke subconsciously.

Then his eyes suddenly lit up.

He seemed to fall into a deadlock before, being that the Eagle Merchant Association and the Habbs Commerce Association were theoretically in a competitive relationship, so he instinctively didn’t consider the Habbs Commerce Association, even avoiding any contact.

But he forgot one thing.

That is, the Eagle Merchant Association and Habbs Commerce Association are only theoretically in a competitive relationship.

In reality, they’re not.

The Habbs Commerce Association primarily deals in slaves, mainly targeting the new Pioneer Lords.

The new Pioneer Lords come needing to buy slaves, needing to purchase supplies, all these provided by the Habbs Commerce Association.

For the established Pioneer Lords, the transactions are usually at auctions that occur every few months.

Further than that.

The Habbs Commerce Association doesn’t have caravans, nor engage in deeper trade.

It’s fundamentally different from Thor’s Eagle Merchant Association.

There’s almost no competitive relationship.

The Habbs Commerce Association typically doesn’t interfere in the internal affairs of the Northern Province.

Previously neither the Stein Campbell nor the Spencer family’s commerce in the West was meddled with, naturally, they wouldn’t care about the Eagle Merchant Association.

In this context, hiring Great Knights from the Habbs Commerce Association doesn’t seem unfeasible.

Just thinking about this, Thor couldn’t help but show an odd expression.

However one looks at it, this maneuver seemed a bit "excessive."

Of course, though Thor felt odd, Rajos didn’t notice, and after Thor’s question, he promptly spoke again.

"Yes, Sir!"

"The Habbs Commerce Association has enough Great Knights, we don’t need to hire many, just ten Great Knights for a year would suffice, and the cost would only be ten thousand gold coins."

"After a year, I believe the strength of each lord would have grown enormously, and we might not need them anymore."

"And ten thousand gold coins is insignificant compared to what we can generate, the annual output from forty-two mines could easily exceed three hundred thousand gold coins, possibly even more."

Rajos earnestly spoke.

Clearly, he had already thought it through a lot, even having some plans for the future.

Listening to these words, Thor nodded.

"Indeed, you make a good point!"

"This matter, I’ll leave it to you!"

"As for the gold coins, here are twenty thousand, you can use them to pay first, if needed, more can be allocated."

Thor took a deep breath, then nodded, as he spoke, his right hand took out two golden cards.

These were of course two of the golden cards contributed by Stein Campbell.

Just in time for use now.

Of course, this transaction should be noted, when the Eagle Merchant Association expands, it’ll need to be reimbursed.

"Yes!"

Looking at the two golden cards, Rajos’s eyes couldn’t help but light up, promptly responding.

He didn’t expect Thor would produce twenty thousand gold coins again.

A lot of gold coins have already been handed out.

"Go on!"

"Do it your way!"

"Additionally, when you head to Loren City this time, register for the Pioneer Knight status."

Thor nodded, then as if remembering something, added.

With that sentence, Rajos’s breathing couldn’t help but become heavy.
