"What does this listing mean?" asked some new merchants at the port.

"It's very simple. For example, if you pull a boat of clothes, how much it is, how good it is, what it is, and what it is, and send it to a trade bank, the trade bank will make a list. If the merchant happens to see it, he can contact the trader of the trade bank and meet and negotiate. There is no need for the merchant to go around to find buyers or sellers."

Wilson is the head of the trade bank's port registration office. He is one of the 57 people who passed the first round of interviews at Viscount Arkham.

He was originally a down-and-out nobleman. He heard that Viscount Arkham had a large number of jobs, so he came over on a merchant ship because he had read books, knew words, and knew how to calculate numbers. He successfully obtained a relatively decent paperwork for himself in the city hall.

The trade bank was first established. When everyone was hesitating, he took the initiative to apply for transfer and joined the trade bank. Now he has achieved some success. After all, the port registration office needs to deal with all kinds of merchants and nobles, which is a relatively central position in the trade bank. Wilson was a nobleman and had a lot of experience in handling interpersonal relationships. He was like a fish in water in this position.

Today, he is introducing a trade deal to a group of small and medium-sized aristocratic businessmen from afar.

"Is this too troublesome? And I have to pay taxes!"

"No, no matter how your goods are bought and sold, they need to pay taxes. You see, they are officials of the tax department. They will evaluate the price of your goods and collect corresponding entry taxes. This is also a common practice in all islands and ports in the world. Our tax ratio is already very low, otherwise why would there be so many merchants willing to come here to trade?"

"And this method sounds troublesome and is of no use to many small merchants, but for those big merchants whose goods are shipped, it is equivalent to having an additional publicity platform and a more shipping channel. After all, the "Recruitment Festival" is only seven days now. And you have to sell a large amount of goods you bought from other places within seven days, buy another batch of goods, and go back to sell them. The time is too tight."

Wilson had long had an experience in dealing with these merchants, and said with a smile: "The emergence of a trade bank is equivalent to combining various commodity information and putting it on the table. You just need to sit on the table, drink coffee, smoke cigars, and buy a list of goods from the trade bank. You can choose the goods you like, or pay a very low trade tax, and put the goods you have passed the review of trade officials on the list. This is aristocratic business!"

"In other words, we can do business without looking at the goods?" asked a middle-aged businessman.

"Yes."

"Is the goods guaranteed then?"

"Of course, the quality of the goods from the trade bank is absolutely guaranteed, and we have compensation standards."

"How do you do this?"

"First of all, you should open an account at Gotham Savings Bank. Come on, that's Mr. Cotter from Gotham Savings Bank." Wilson pointed at the young man behind the desk diagonally opposite.

"Wait, what's going on with this bank?"

Cote stood up and said, "The so-called bank is very simple. You can deposit your excess money in it, and there will be a generous amount of interest every year, which is a savings business. At the same time, if you are short of money, you can also borrow money from the bank. The interest you need to pay is far cheaper than the dark gold industry, which is a lending business."

"Can you still borrow money?"

These small and medium-sized businessmen were immediately attracted to their attention.

For small and medium-sized merchants, the attractiveness of trade banks is far less than that of Gotham Savings Bank. The goods they bring are small and they are confident that they will sell them during the "Recruitment Festival". There is no need to fill in a trade tax in addition to the entry tax. If you are running a small capital, you can save a little bit.

The lending business provided by Gotham Savings Bank is actually what they need. When they come to Viscount Arkham, they realize that there are too many good goods.

In addition to commodities from various countries in the East China Sea, there are also rare goods from the Great Way and from the other three seas.

These goods were only available in Roger Town in the past, where there were naval warships, which were traveling every year and carried some goods.

But once a year, how can we meet the market demand of the entire East China Sea?

Therefore, as long as it comes from Great Hang Road or other three seas, even a piece of clothing is several times more expensive than this seafood.

There are a large number of such goods in the Viscount Arkham!

As long as these goods are redirected back, they will not encounter pirates on the way. If nothing unexpected happens, the price will increase by ten times.

Real profits!

However, there are many merchants who are staring at these goods. Even Levis Trading Company has privately discussed with Liszt and is willing to help ship the goods, provided that Liszt cannot sell the goods to other merchants.

Liszt naturally refused.

Levis Trading Company and Arkham Group have always been in a competitive relationship, and both sides have always had frictions in maritime trade.

After experiencing failure, Levis Trading Company adjusted its direction and had a profound heritage. In the past two years, it has steadily protected its territory and restricted the further development of the Arkham Group.

These cargoes from Great Railways are the key to the breaking of the Arkham Group. How could they be sold to Levis Trading?

Through these goods, Liszt extended the tentacles of the Arkham Group to all parts of the East China Sea, and brought up a network of relationships with merchants and small nobles as nodes to fight against the large nobles represented by Levis Trading Company.

It can be said that this is a plan that starts with a point-breaking layout, starting from the establishment of the Gotham Savings Bank of Lister.

This layout has begun to show results. Now nearly 30 countries in the East China Sea have agents from Arkham Group, and these agents also have their own resources, and there are also a group of younger brothers who are following them to eat.

The black bat wings gradually cover the East China Sea!

A certain island.

In the leeward bay, pirate ships flying different pirate flags docked.

The open space opened in the forest, the brazier built with a tripod burned flames.

Clik, wearing golden armor, sat on the chair in the upper head, with a short man with expressionless face, a ghost man, Ajin.

On both sides of the venue, two rows of chairs were lined up, and there were pirate captains, both tall and strong. They looked at each other, with their expressions being arrogant, disdainful, or indifferent, and the hostility in their eyes was not concealed at all.

Bucky held his hands, glanced back and forth, and was calculating: "This guy Click is so ambitious, he actually wants to attack the Arkham Group?"

To bring different pirates together without fighting each other, either have a respected and overwhelming character in the audience, or these pirates temporarily put aside their prejudices and cooperate for the sake of common purposes.

Obviously, Clicker does not have the prestige and strength to suppress the entire audience.

Therefore, the pirate captains here all received invitations from Clik and gathered with the Arkham Group as their goal.
Chapter completed!
