Naturally, Wang Quantai came here to see Li Cong not because of such a thing. Although Lint's family affairs can't be regarded as trivial matters, compared with Wang Quantai's matters, it is really nothing. He came to Li Cong because of this.

Because of another thing, the price of black gold in the Eastern Empire has begun to rise. It has reached 2,100 taels of silver per tael, which is 30% higher than the price in the other three empires. However, the Cao Family Trading Company

The large amount of black gold in hand is still sold according to the original sales volume. This quantity is not very large. Can it be expanded? Li Cong has also heard of such things, but this guy doesn't quite understand why the Eastern Empire's

The price of Wujin will increase. It is said that things like Wujin are the same as consumables. The prices are basically the same. The price of this thing has never been reduced. It is definitely hard currency just like gold and silver.

, Li Cong had thought about speculating on such things before, but later he also saw that although such things were used in large quantities, they were not produced in small quantities. Later, Cao's Trading Company

Some accountants have done a lot of investigations and calculations and believe that all the black gold obtained by the Cao Family Trading Company in the Southern Empire cannot be sold at once. If it is really sold like that, this will be really big.

Problem, then the price of Wujin will probably be reduced to 200 taels of silver. If this happens, the assets originally estimated to be worth tens of billions of silver may shrink by more than 80%. Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable.

Yes, Li Cong himself is not a fool. {He would not do such a thing, so the people from the Cao Family Trading Company made a rule that every month, the Eastern Empire would invest about 10,000 yuan.

The price of Wujin is 100 million silver, and the other three empires are 800 billion. It has been like this for nearly forty months. Basically, the price fluctuates by 3%. It seems that it has not affected the entire market. Now

Prices have increased in the Eastern Empire. If you don’t make a quick profit from this, there won’t be such good opportunities in the future. Wang Quantai also did some research. Recently, it was because of the mercenary alliance in the Eastern Empire.

The price of the things obtained during the assessment has started to increase. These people in the assessment are all good at using weapons. Such things are needed for everyone, especially those high-level warriors. Their weapons are priceless.

After every battle, maintenance is needed. At this time, Wujin is needed. In the past, battles were not so frequent, so naturally they did not need this thing. But now that there are more battles, they only buy it.

After calculation, Wang Quantai felt that he would need to supply at least 500 billion more silver coins every month. If there was any more, the Eastern Empire probably wouldn’t be able to eat it. But he knew that apart from the huge one he found in the Southern Empire,

In addition to the Wujin Mine, people from the Cao Family Trading Company have other channels to obtain these things. There are good things on some overseas islands. Those places have a lot of mineral deposits. He knows it himself.

There are more than a dozen of them, so there is no shortage of people in the Cao Family Trading Company.

Li Cong didn't say anything about Wang Quantai's statement. Everyone was thinking about the business. It would be unacceptable for such people not to give others some benefits. He knew that Wang Quantai had just got his own recently.

Great-grandson, Li Cong thought of giving this boy something. According to the tradition of their Wang family, this boy needs to follow Wang Quantai's old path. Although businessmen and other things are already good now, many people still hope that he can

Officials, after all, positions like scholars, farmers, industry and merchants have been queued for hundreds of thousands of years. In this society, no matter what you do well, it is not as good as being an official. Li Cong, some official positions in other empires, naturally does not have that ability.

However, Li Cong could arrange for officials in some counties and cities occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company. They had nothing to do with the officials of the Eastern Empire. After hearing that Li Cong actually wanted to appoint his grandson as a county magistrate,

Wang Quantai shook his head vigorously for the position. That was not what he wanted. Although the official positions in the Cao Family Trading Company were almost the same as those in the Eastern Empire, he really had no idea of ​​letting his children become officials, because he

I have changed my previous thoughts. In the past, I only thought about things like taking imperial examinations and getting scholars. I want my descendants to work and study honestly. But since this guy entered

After Cao's business opened, he found that the original concept was no longer viable. Now businessmen can do some big things. For example, businessmen can do these things better than officials.

Like some officials of the Eastern Empire today, their daily lives are not necessarily that good. When they see everyone from our Cao Family Trading Company, they all quickly nod and bow, not for anything else but for these guys.

They all took a fancy to the resources of the Cao Family Trading Company. It was also very good to be a businessman who could control the officials. Wang Quantai hoped that Li Cong could let his descendants join the Cao Family Trading Company to work. He thought that this way

The future is definitely much better than those who were officials in the past. Looking at myself is a good example. In the past, I followed the people of the Eastern Empire and told them what they needed to know most, but in the end I

What is the good outcome? There is no good at all. Not to mention how miserable my life was at the beginning. Without Li Cong's help, I don't know where I would be at this time.

I remember such things very clearly, and Li Cong also supports his choice. Since others have said that, as the boss of this company, I should be happy, and there is no need for other things.

So you are concerned. Another thing Wang Quantai has to do here is the issue of more than a dozen county magistrates in the Eastern Empire. Now the areas occupied by the Cao Family Trading Company in the Southern Empire have begun to build roads vigorously. This Eastern Empire

Should we also start over there? You must know that more than a dozen counties and cities here are by the sea. If the road is to be built, it will be much longer than the distance there. Even if you don’t have that idea, you can’t do it now.

It should be planned and contacted.

In the past, the connections between these dozen counties and cities relied on sea ships. After all, they are all seaside cities, which is good, but now they have also seen the inconvenience of sea transportation, although this can save a lot of money.

The cost is low, but the speed is really not good, and getting on and off the boat is really troublesome. Of course, there won't be much trouble in normal times, but if something happens, such a speed may

It will delay a lot of things. Wang Quantai also had the same idea when he looked at Li Cong's face. He immediately sent his plan. Such preparations and you still say that you only have one intention? You, an old man, are really not very honest.

Yes, it seems that he was deceived by you, an old boy, in the past. It’s no wonder. When he saw the benefits of the opening of the highway in the Southern Empire, he was really excited. Just like now. Next to the highway

The defense line of the Cao Family Trading Company is open now, but if the people of the Southern Empire really want to regain their lost territory, they may pay a huge price. Just like now, there are some on both sides of the highway.

When the war started, troops could be garrisoned everywhere directly through the highway, and barbed wire fences were pulled up. People in the Southern Empire were very aware of this kind of defense line at the beginning, and even an attack of 100,000 people might not be possible.

What's the effect? ​​The Southern Empire is already doing it in full swing. Why can't our Eastern Empire do the same? Besides, the business volume here in the Eastern Empire is small compared to that in the Southern Empire.

There are a lot. After all, the Southern Empire is connected to dozens of provinces, and the Eastern Empire is just a dozen county magistrates. Li Cong took a look at the plan brought by this guy, good guy, do this.

It's really good. They have already planned the route. About a dozen counties and more than forty counties are all on both sides of this common route. Although such a plan requires

It would take hundreds of miles to travel, but to be honest, isn't it just to connect all the lands under my control? The total length of this continent is about 4650km. According to the construction cost of the Southern Empire,

If calculated at 800,000 taels of silver per kilometer, this road would require five billion silver to complete. Of course, money is nothing to Wang Quantai, because he has the right to chop the money down. He is worried

There is another problem, that is, the problem of personnel. We will definitely not use our own people to build this road, because basically most of the labor force in these dozen counties and cities has gone to the docks, and they have no idea.

There is no labor force. Even if we want to do this, we can only recruit these people from the Eastern Empire. The farmers in the Eastern Empire only earn less than one tael of silver per month. The Cao family

The commercial bank will definitely offer 2 taels of silver a month for food and housing, and those who travel far away can even take the Cao Family Commercial Bank's transportation network to the construction site. Such preferential conditions will definitely attract a large number of people from the Eastern Empire.

If you come here to participate in this matter, it will be difficult for you to explain it by then. What should you do?

"Haha, boss, I have almost done some other things. The mine and cement are almost ready. Large-scale ones are not easy to build, but small-scale ones are quite a lot.

, as long as money can be sent to my side, we can basically start construction, but the road builder is a problem. If I post this notice over there in Dongqiao, I estimate that there will be thousands of people immediately.

Thousands of people come to work with us. What the Eastern Empire government thinks is a question. Another is that the great nobles of the Eastern Empire also control a lot of land. Those who used to rent it to us

Naturally, they won't do anything, but there are still many people who are planting this thing on their own. When the people on their land come to our side, they will definitely make a fuss about this matter.

Yes, this kind of thing is not a big deal, but if the people from the Eastern Empire really use the topic to their advantage, I can't stop these things, and I have to rely on you, boss, to do it." This guy.

He said with a smile, Li Cong had felt in the past that Wang Quantai would be a very kind person, at least not like the one in front of him. Everything needs to be calculated for a while. How can he be an honest person?

Well, I have to do such an offending thing. Judging from the look of this old guy, he already knows what to do. He just needs to wait for his authorization. Of course, the people in the Eastern Empire want to stop this thing, and they also

It has been seen that population is also a very important resource, it can be said to be the most important resource. Now the Cao Family Trading Company is already a million-level large city in more than a dozen cities in the Eastern Empire. If it continues

If they are so attractive, how much do they have to expand? Even if the people in the Eastern Empire are all mud, they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts. It is estimated that the people of the Cao Family Trading Company have not thought of such a thing.

After all, the two sides occupy a very different level, so even if something like this happens, they will not consider the problem at the same level. The matter of road construction was something Li had formulated from the beginning, and he would never

Stop. In fact, the biggest problem now is the problem of labor. Just like what is said in the talent market. As long as you have money, you can recruit whatever kind of people you want. If you

If you are not satisfied, you will still have people from headhunting companies to help you with the people you like, but this era is different. There are only two employers, either people from the Cao Family Trading Company or from the Eastern Empire.

People, both sides are still unable to talk, and they are both engaged in things like the Cold War. If such a thing really comes out, it will not be a good thing for the development of the Cao family business, but for the sake of their own road construction plan

, Such things must still be done, just like now. If you don't do it, you will lose credibility in your own words. Is there something wrong with Wang Quantai's brain? Why do people want to help you do things like that?

Soon Li Cong had made his own decision in his mind, and he had to start from the navy, there was a way.

The war between the Eastern Empire and the Northern Empire has already begun, and there is no intention of lowering the level. At this time, the Eastern Empire also has a lot of funding gaps like the Linghu family. At this time, as long as he brings the Cao Family Trading Company

There is no problem for these people to pass the banknotes. Besides, the tens of millions of Yue slaves in the Eastern Empire are obviously not a very good place. If I offer a price of twenty taels of silver each, I estimate that those

People will go crazy to help the Cao Family Trading Company capture these slaves. To them, these slaves are so useless. If they can be used to offset the debts of the Cao Family Trading Company, they will be happy to do so.

Regarding this matter, Li Cong then told his proposal. Wang Quantai agreed in principle, but there were also some who disagreed, that is, they cannot all use Yue people. If tens of millions of Yue people are used,

To do this, there will be at least hundreds of thousands of guards. These people need to be dealt with by themselves in the Eastern Empire. Now there is no shortage of money everywhere in the Cao family business, and the money flows into Cao's business like running water.

The Ouyang family receives tens of billions of dollars of capital injection from the Cao family every year. They are already working very hard to help the Cao family.

The people from the trading company came to train people. Unfortunately, they can only produce less than 100 million people every year. This kind of output can be said to be a drop in the bucket. The Cao Family Trading Company has a shortage of employees on the entire continent every year.

More than one billion, plus some newly discovered islands, it will be even more. Although it has been urged for a long time, people from the Ouyang family have also said that if this is about quantity rather than quality, we

I can solve it for you, but if something happens to these people in the future, or if the things you told me cannot be completed, this matter will have nothing to do with us. You should understand such things. Think of it.

Here Li Cong gave up his plan to increase output. This was no joke. He got a bunch of useless waste and wasted his own genetic medicine. He would not do such a thing. He had to be careful.

I am very clear about this truth, and other people are also very clear about this kind of thing. None of them are fools, and they are all quite aware of this matter. However, road construction is the Cao Family Trading Company.

The big plan set by the people will never be changed. Li Cong could only grit his teeth and dispatch people from other places. Before Wang Quantai left, Li Cong also mentioned a problem, that is, roads need to be built in various places.

It's over. Wang Quantai has already obtained authorization from Li Cong. Other people must be knowledgeable and want to come over. The roads are very easy to talk about. If roads are built on those islands, it will cost a lot of money.

It's really big. Especially transporting cement is too troublesome. Therefore, Li Cong specially appointed Wang Quantai as the chief planner of road construction. Don't you want to take more care of some things? I'll leave this matter to you now.

Just do it. If those people's reports come up, I think you can go over and have a good talk with them. This will be the best for you. You don't need to worry about anything else.

At this time, all major institutions have withdrawn their attention from other places. At this time, their most important thing is to get this Bones Tianlu Dan. If this thing gets into their hands, they can definitely create a

Super masters come out. No one can refuse such a thing. The most depressed people at this time are the people of Tianxiahui. They are fighting among themselves again. Those magicians want to go out and talk to Li Cong about this issue face to face.

Yes, but the soldiers refused to let them out, and when neither side was convinced, the people from the Cao Family Trading Company came and delivered this news, telling them that the people from the Cao Family Trading Company were ready to hold the auction when.

Now, they have calmed down a bit, and I don’t know what they said. In short, both people arrived at the auction of Cao’s Trading Company on time, but Li Cong secretly observed it, although their faces were full of

With a smile, but unfortunately they are not very good at hiding themselves. Whether it is drinking water or other things, they really hate their partners. How can such a thing be allowed? For them, it is like this

They couldn't do that, and many people from other large organizations came, but Li Cong basically knew what they were bringing, and he would not trade with those people. Li Cong

What you have in your hands is what you all want, so I have the right to choose who will use this thing of mine. If you have what I need in your hands, you can also stipulate such things.

, but now that I am making the decision, you don’t have so many choices. The place for the transaction was found by the people from the Cao Family Trading Company, so you are not afraid of what these people will do. It can be said that the people around you are...

There are many masters, and the people of the Cao Family Trading Company have the absolute ability to control things here. Li Cong also said from the beginning that any disputes are prohibited in the city. The ninth-level magician at the beginning is an example.

, if you don’t believe this, you can come out and try it yourself. Of course, one day it’s just a prison, but today you need an arm. Of course, if you have three heads and six arms and don’t care about this thing, that’s another thing.

We won't cause any harm to you. This is your own business. But if you don't have so many arms, it's better to abide by the regulations of the Cao Family Trading Company. There will be no unnecessary nonsense.

Because there are no longer those people that Li Cong needs, Li Cong is too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He spent the whole morning to let them test the authenticity of the Bones Tianlu Dan. Among these people, there are no alchemists, but

There are many people among these people who are familiar with elixirs. They are very familiar with these things. In fact, they can know it just by smelling it. Of course. They don't dare to mess with such precious things. In the end
