Thanks to the demonstration during the harvest, even though Tang En had shamelessly doubled the price of the combined harvester, he still managed to sell five thousand units. That's right, five thousand units. That's one hundred million Irus gold coins.
In addition to the five thousand multi-purpose mana tillers, the total cost was two hundred million gold coins.
Seeing this level of spending, Tang En waved his hand and gave Testero a thousand mana sprayers, which were worth one million gold coins. Of course, he told Testero that the gift was worth ten million gold coins, but the simple country king was so touched that he almost gave his lungs out.
'What? Testero doesn't have money?
That's right, he doesn't have money, but what's the difference between a debt of 2.1 billion and 2.2 billion?
As the saying goes, when you have too many lice, you don't itch, and when you have too many debts, you don't have to worry about them. Since he already owed so much money to Tang En, he didn't care about this little bit. Moreover, with these machines, the Ryan Empire's food production would definitely increase greatly. Only when the people had enough to eat and wear would they have the energy to have more children and create more value, right?
Moreover, Testero didn't intend to bear all the debt of buying these agricultural machines alone.
After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized that there was a lot to be gained from this!
He bought these products with the country's debt, and after the products were produced and shipped, he could sell them to the city lords of the Ryan Empire at a higher price. Not only could he earn a lot of money for the Blood Eye Clan, but he could also reduce some of his debt. At the same time, it would stimulate the economy of the country and promote the development of agriculture. Why not?
Thinking further, if he could maintain a long-term partnership with Tang En, he could buy all kinds of good things from him and sell them in the Ryan Empire. Every time he sold, he would make a profit. As long as he restricted the merchants who took advantage of the price difference, he would have the final say in the Ryan Empire's market. Wouldn't he be able to pay off his debt quickly?
As long as he could continue to make a lot of money, he would become a tycoon in an instant!
The more Testero thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible. As a poor country bumpkin king, he dreamed of getting rich even in his dreams. He looked forward to the life of buying things and throwing them away. Now, he realized that he had finally found a chance to get rich.
Testero immediately shared his thoughts with Tang En.
"You mean … Not only do you want to buy these things, but you also want the exclusive right to sell these products in the Ryan Empire?"
Tang En and Fiona looked at Testero strangely. Did this guy know what he was talking about?
"That's right!"
Testero had a fervent look on his face as he said, "These products are very valuable. Once they are released to the market, they will definitely be well received. I think that even my subordinates would be happy to buy some of these products."
"I don't mind, but …"
Tang En said strangely, "Are you going to be the general agent of the Datang Chamber of Commerce in the Ryan Empire?"
In order to earn money, a king was willing to become the regional general agent of a Chamber of Commerce …
No matter how he thought about it, it felt very strange!
"General agent? What's that? "
Testero didn't quite understand what a general agent was.
"It's to obtain the regional sales rights. The products we produce in the region have to be sold through the general agent. We give up a portion of our profits and give the general agent a relatively low purchase price. The general agent is responsible for helping us sell the products. Under the general agent, there are secondary agents, tertiary agents, and so on …"
Tang En gave him a simple explanation. Currently, the Datang Chamber of Commerce's products were mainly sold in stores. Although the regional agent model was good for expansion, there wasn't enough production capacity in the early stages. Moreover, it wasn't easy to manage, so it wasn't considered.
But things were different now. The supply of raw materials was about to be sufficient, and the promotion of magic buses and intercity buses had greatly increased the flow of labor. The integration of alchemy puppets and artificial souls had greatly increased production efficiency, and the birth of magic phones had also increased the convenience of information exchange in the entire management network. Many plans that were previously impossible to implement now had the conditions to be implemented.
The regional agent was also a plan that could be considered.
Testero said without hesitation, "I want to be the general agent of the Ryan Empire!"
He didn't understand anything else, but he heard Tang En say "give the general agent a relatively low purchase price" very clearly. What did a low purchase price mean?
It meant a bigger price difference, more profit, and more money!
It was simply too rare for these brainless beastmen to seize this opportunity to make money!
"Are you crazy?"
Sharp Tooth was stunned. "The Ryan Empire's soil situation isn't as good as the Irus Empire's. Their farming culture can't be compared to theirs. These agricultural machines might not sell well!"
Testero's mind cleared up for a moment.
Tang En said with a smile, "If you're referring to the soil situation, you can rest assured. We're about to mass produce a liquid fertilizer. As long as it's added to the irrigation water, it can greatly improve the soil situation. Even the barren Gobi Desert can be used to grow food. After a period of cultivation, the deserted Gobi Desert will solidify into fertile soil."
"Really!?"
This time, even Sharp Tooth's mouth was wide open in shock. "You can even do something like this?"
There weren't many countries in the Ryan Empire, but there were a lot of deserts and neighboring countries. The climate was dry and the soil was barren. If this liquid fertilizer could really help improve the soil environment and turn it into arable land, they had to get it at all costs!
"Of course, when have I ever lied to anyone?"
Tang En's self-righteous look was full of persuasion.
Testero said loudly, "Stop talking, I've already decided to become the general agent of the region! I'm the king of the Ryan Empire, no one is more qualified than me to be the general agent of the region, right? "
Sharp Tooth didn't stop him this time.
If it could make the Ryan Empire better, this opportunity was worth a try.
"Haha, to become the general agent of the region, you need more than just power and status. You also need to have enough economic insight, a keen market sense, and good business promotion experience …"
Tang En looked at Testero with a playful expression. "Forgive me for being blunt, Your Majesty, but these three conditions are completely unrelated to you …"
Testero was anxious. "I'm very sincere!"
"Of course, I've already seen your sincerity."
Tang En suddenly changed the topic. "So, seeing how sincere you are, I've decided to let you undergo five days of hellish training during the construction of New Bul-Kathos. After going through the sales training of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, you will definitely become a qualified businessman and general agent after you graduate."
"No problem!"
Testero was overjoyed. "I don't have much to do these few days —"
"You don't plan to go back?"
Sharp Tooth couldn't help but say, "New Bul-Kathos is currently under construction. As the king, you should go there and give them some encouragement."
"Let Ursa go!"
Testero said decisively. "Groma can't do it anymore, so we can only let Ursa get the inheritance. Now is the time to let him go and gain some reputation."
Sharp Tooth couldn't even be bothered to retort. "You still have a long life ahead of you …"
"I want to make money!"
Testero's eyes were red. "I want my people to live a life where they can eat their fill every day!"
In order to improve the economic situation of the Ryan Empire, and at the same time, to promote domestic change, Testero was going all out.
As for the fact that he, a king, had become the general agent of the Datang Chamber of Commerce, who cared?
As long as he could make money, repay his debts, and make the Ryan Empire better and better, it was all worth it!
Tang En didn't expect Testero to have such a simple wish. He looked at him with surprise, then snapped his fingers and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it today. I'll arrange for you to join the training today. But during the training, we won't treat you like a king. Can you accept that?"
Testero nodded without hesitation. "Of course!"
After Tang En and the others finished their observation and returned to Ellington, they directly brought Testero to the Datang Chamber of Commerce's sales specialist training class and temporarily arranged for him to join.
This training class was set up by Fiona according to Tang En's idea. All the new employees who joined the Datang Chamber of Commerce had to receive a week of short-term training here. After that, they would be sent to the cities below to be assigned specific jobs.
It wasn't that Tang En didn't want to train them more, but the literacy rate in Prandal was too low. The amount of knowledge that these people could receive in a short period of time was limited, so one week was more than enough. The knowledge and skills they learned were enough to let them surpass 90% of Prandal's merchants in sales.
Most of the skills taught in this training class were all kinds of chicken soup for the soul stories that Tang En saw on the Internet on Earth, including a large number of self-suggestion, self-motivation, and articles with a certain brainwashing effect.
The biggest significance of this training class was to broaden these people's minds and horizons, to stimulate their self-confidence to stand in front of others and sell their products. At the same time, it would also make them have a strong loyalty to Tang En. There weren't many sales skills taught. At most, it was some common sales skills on Earth.
For example, instead of telling the customer how good your product is, why don't you tell the customer that this product is what they need? Something like the three principles of equality, integrity, and win-win sales …
Even some of the very simple principles on Earth were extremely advanced sales concepts for those people when they were brought here.
The placement of an orc student did not surprise Tina. After all, she had already taught humans, dwarves, gnomes, elves, and nagas. Orcs were not a big deal.
It was just that she probably didn't know that this student was the king of the Ryan Empire.
What? Little Ai?
She's an orc? (Because her racial characteristics were not obvious, people who didn't know would think that she was a gifted human.)
