I Became A Black Merchant In Another World-Chapter 347: Modernized Colonial System (6)
“Your Majesty, I’ll go in.”
“Come in.”
The door opened and Chris appeared.
Chris naturally approached me and smiled.
“The butler couldn’t come today, so I came.”
“There must be a lot of people looking for Sebastian.”
“The nobles smelled money and are clamoring for Sebastian to pay more, so please reduce the quantity. It must be really hard for you to refuse.”
“Even so, nothing will come out.”
If I were running an apartment cooperative or something, I would have increased the quantity first because there was a lot of demand.
In any case, I would just make a quick buck and then close the cooperative and run away.
It’s more profitable to move ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) in a direction that makes as much money as possible at once.
‘But I’m a noble, right?’
If I put my name on it and manage it myself, I’ll do it carelessly to make more money, and then something will happen.
The family’s honor would dive into the Han River at that moment.
So who would ask me to sell an unplanned quantity just to see the small profit right in front of me?
“Baron Florin invested 50,000 gold coins by using his own land as collateral because he thought that 5 gold coins per house was too cheap. Now, the merchant industry is blowing an investment frenzy, saying that since the ‘Heart of the Beast’ has moved, this new city development plan will definitely succeed.”
“Normally, if you keep doing that, you’ll ruin your life.”
“Since you’ve succeeded three times, Deus must be helping you.”
“If he wasn’t a real baron, I would have brought him to our family.”
No one knows whether Baron Florin has a keen eye or not.
However, there is one thing that is very clear.
Whether it’s the bar exam, administrative exam, or civil service exam, whether you guess and answer all the questions correctly or solve them all correctly, you will pass with the same 100 points.
Looking at the way that human being invests, it’s clear that he does it with the intuition of an animal, but he’s successful no matter what he does.
If he brought him to our family and had him pick stocks that would make money, he would create enormous value.
Chris said as he handed me the report.
“The sales of the residential and commercial complexes being developed this time have all been completed successfully. We were able to earn a total of 405,284 coins, exceeding the initial expected sales of 240,000 gold coins by 165,284 coins.”
“The sales were higher than I expected.”
“Aren’t you surprised, Your Majesty?”
“...... I thought this would happen since speculation got heated up.”
The factory site was given to me for free by kind customers, so excluding that, the price of the land I purchased is only worth 10,000 gold coins.
If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.
However, since it was a new city project that I was personally promoting, I expected that there would be many people who wanted to buy new city houses and commercial buildings at a cheap price.
So I tried to be satisfied with just 24 times the land price without going overboard, but thanks to Baron Florin, I ended up making a profit of close to 40.5 times.
At this point, it's a new city coin, a coin.
They say that whenever a certain Martian enthusiast posted a coin with a Shiba Inu on it, the price of the coin skyrocketed.
Baron Florin showed up and invested his soul to make it work just like that.
"And now, rumors are starting to spread that real estate is undervalued, so real estate values are rising all over the country, including Florence."
"Since I introduced the stock system, real estate prices have fallen too much at once. So I thought the prices would go up. I never thought it would go up like this."
Baron Florin, what kind of person are you?

If you have 1 million gold coins, you might not know, but you can move the economy of the Tuscan Empire with 50,000 gold coins.
“This is ridiculous.”
“The executives of the trading company keep suggesting that we invest more aggressively in real estate. What are you going to do?”
“Real estate is profitable, and expanding the chicken farm is profitable, too. But the real money is in the military industry. There is no need to be obsessed with things like real estate.”
“It’s time to be selective and focused.”
“If you are blind and greedy, you will only end up bursting your own stomach.”
The most important thing in social life is not to make enemies.
More precisely, it would be not to make more enemies than necessary.
In fact, the best thing would be not to make enemies at all, but the world is competitive to begin with, so you make enemies just by breathing and living.
At work, managers, assistant managers, and section chiefs may hate you for no reason and try to bury you in society, and if you rise above a certain level, you may have to bury other competitors through internal politics or something.
If you work at a large company, you have to make unreasonable demands on subcontractors to generate profits for the company.
‘You’re trash to some, but you’re friends and family to others.’
That’s just how life is.
So I have to increase the number of people who will stand on my side as much as possible to prevent unexpected stabs in the back or a baseball bat in the back of the head.
“Don’t even look at the real estate side.”
“I understand.”
“And this is a gift from me to you, Chris.”
I handed her the transfer contract.
“I gave Leo the Baron Medici, and I’ll give my child, Erica, the Viscounty of Rothschild. I don’t know how things will turn out later. The factory that will be the core business of the new city, I will give the ownership of that factory to my future children.”
Sometimes older people forget to properly distribute their assets while they are alive.
They think that since they left a will, their children will ‘take care of it’, but if there is one villain among their children, it will be like a lawsuit between a conglomerate family with a knife to get even a penny more.
I killed that bastard Albert, and I have no regrets about that, but...
How sad it would be if my children fought each other because of me.
Chris covered his mouth with his hand.
“Your Majesty.”
It is a shame that we do not have children yet, but both Chris and I are old enough to have children.
“The new city I am creating cannot function without a factory. So if I just keep my position as the factory president, it will not be difficult for me to become the mayor of the city.”
The biggest reason why merchants cannot become mayors of cities is because of the shackles of status.
In theory, a city councilor or a city mayor can be anyone regardless of social status, but even in a modern country in the 21st century, it’s hard for ordinary people to become members of the National Assembly...
Even if you become a city councilor, the land is usually inherited by the local nobles, and the mayor position goes to the one with the best luck and ability among them.
However, the child born between Chris and me holds the real power over the life and death of the city, and is clearly of noble blood.
‘Mayor for life is possible.’
A mayor for life who dominates the administrative authority and the city’s economy.
This also seems like a dark story.
“Now, if Chris and I have a child, we can rebuild the Belladora family.”
“Thank you, Viscount. But there’s a very serious problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
Chris whispered in my ear, letting out a slightly dirty breath.
“There’s no child between you, Viscount. Chloe has Leo.”
“Don’t you have any plans today?” “Your Majesty and I don’t have anything to do right now.”
That’s right.
But is it okay to do this in broad daylight on a weekday?
“We need a child to truly rebuild the Belladora family. This is also a major task for the Rothschild family. It’s about creating a trustworthy vassal who will protect the family.”
“Yes, but I don’t think we need to rush.”
“It’ll be easier if we do everything quickly.”
Chris opened the door to my office and called the maid nearby.
“Try to tidy up the bedroom.”
“Yes, I understand.”
“Your Majesty will need a lot of energy at night. Tell the chef to prepare a meal of seafood and meat dishes that are good for stamina, including oysters.”
“Yes.”
“Prepare a similar meal for Erica and Chloe. Your Majesty is full of energy.”
Are there any important plans for tomorrow?
After the maid left, Chris took a small box out of his clothes and took out its contents.
Inside was a chocolate bar.
Chris put it in his mouth and closed the distance between us.
And we enjoyed a sticky and thick kiss until the chocolate completely melted in his mouth.
“How was my kiss?”
“It was active and sweet. But it was too tantalizing?”
“I can’t be satisfied with this.”
Chris started unbuttoning the front of his shirt, one by one, from his neck to his chest.
Just enough to show his sternum.
Then he gently stroked his lower abdomen and said,
“Your Majesty, please eat me as much as you want.”
