《Rise of America 1620》Chapter 14: Manpower Increase
Advertisement
After Oliver reminded him, William remembered.
But it is not, he was pleased with the moment, to create a preferential trade.
Whether a discount is a sale or is jumping from the floor to dig a hole in the ground sale, the Mexican tribe of those housewives engaged in the "death", which has a hot scene.
These little tricks in the 21st century are already a bad street, but in 1620 it was unprecedented ah.
These Indian women had never seen anything like it. All they cared about was cheap, good deals, and attractive prices.
So, the number of furs William could trade for was greatly reduced.
But this also gives him a benefit, that is, his reputation in the Mohican tribe unprecedented increase, men, women, and children are very fond of William.
The Indian mindset is simple: if you are fair and equitable, then you will gain my trust. And William is not only fair and equitable, he even "spit blood" deal it.
Hey, hey!
Some embarrassed smile, William to Oliver three people I will this thing to forget if you do not remind me I can not remember it. He was really a little embarrassed.
"The chief, you still look at the virtual account, look at that than listen to my summary of the report is more reliable. Oliver said, laughing and crying at the young chief.
Looked at William, Daniel and Steven also "hey, hey, hey" smiled up.
They are not looking down on William, just thinking this young chief is very cute.
For the three of them, there is such a leader is actually not.
At least not so boring ah.
William nodded his head and opened his virtual account.
The seven and a half million cash amount was reflected in William's eyes.
My mother, this month's income is really too big, right?
William saw the amount of income, liver "pounding" rapid beating a few times.
This is only one tribe's trade with the Mohican tribe, a month down to more than 7.5 million.
If he can make this trade expand enough, a month of more than ten million is not a problem at all.
But William also, now blindly expanding the trade is very unrealistic. After all, he is not familiar with the surrounding tribes, and although there is the protection of the Mohican tribe when this will inevitably not let the old Europeans.
This will lead to a lot of trouble.
William does not want to expose it too early, those Europeans at least now can not deal with it.
More than 7.5 million ah, I have to think about this money to use it.

"Oliver, we now have more than 7.5 million dollars of cash on hand, do you think I should use this money?
As the saying goes, "One man is better than two, and William started to talk with Oliver.
Oliver looked at Daniel and Steven, and then thought about it before answering, "Chief, what do you want to do?
Oliver, they do have no idea, just to their ideas, then there must be a premise to do. After all, William is their leader, they do not want to be in William's decision on the development of the plan.
Do I?
Oliver's rhetorical question did not upset William, he also the night they are the will of the Lord, so they can not take the risk of giving a direction.
And this general direction must be given to them.
"I want to buy some geneticists, after all, our power is too weak now. And there must be a few fresh faces, otherwise the lie I told earlier that I was a tribal will show its flaws.
Considering the fact that they are now short of manpower, William thinks it is better to buy manpower.
To, now he is only Oliver and Daniel and Steven three people, the number of staff is really too small.
"The decision is right, chief." The company's main business is to provide a wide range of services to the public.
To this point, in fact, Oliver has been worried about death.
Oliver's voice fell, the side of Steven also interjected into the I also support Oliver, the chief of your subordinates are too few. Now a total of three of us, really if encounter danger, I worry that the three of us can not protect you ah.
Daniel also echoed that in this cold weapon era, more people are an advantage. The chief has not yet developed a sharp firearm, we can only think in terms of numbers.
Seeing that all three of them supported the decision, William frowned a little.
"I understand and appreciate what you're saying, but I'm a little torn. If all the money I make goes to population development, should I develop new products?
William didn't hide, he told the three of them that he was struggling with a bit of a problem.
Hearing William says so, Oliver smiled, said the chief, now your thinking is a bit into the wrong area. Oliver thought about it a little, and then it became clear that the chief is now struggling with this point. "Oh, tell me, what's my misconception? William asked with a raised eyebrow.
Hey, hey!
Oliver Road chief ah, first we have to consider the purchasing power of the Mohican tribe, and then you think about even if we have a new product, they can afford to buy it.

Oliver said so, and William was immediately silent down.
He seriously pondered.
The Mohican tribe has a total population of 13,000 people and almost 3,000 families.
That is to say, his products are already a lot if you look at the family unit.
At the same time, this month almost has scavenged the Mexican tribe in the fur. This is because the Mexican tribe has accumulated decades of inventory, otherwise, there would not be so much.
Even some of the Mohicans, their own tents are dismantled, the tent wrapped in fur for William to exchange.
Can imagine, in the next few days, the sales of products will certainly not be so hot. But will slowly tend to level off and become a long flow of water.
The reason why Oliver said that I guess is to consider these circumstances.
You can't say that Oliver is not thinking correctly, because they are going to encounter such problems in the future.
And, in this period of time has already begun to appear in this situation.
And if you develop new products, it doesn't necessarily sell well. Because of these Indians in the Mohican tribe, there is almost no surplus of furs.
Even if William wants to expand the scope of trade so that the Mohicans to do a second trader. But also need to consider some troublesome factors, as well as the feasibility of ah.
Too, although the Mohican tribe is the largest tribe in the vicinity, there is no larger tribe than the Mohican. But these small tribes and the Mohican tribe, more or less have some grudges that exist.
Therefore, it is possible that the trade is not made, which will trigger some sudden conflicts.
This will be a little more than worth the loss.
After thinking about these problems, William nodded solemnly, said Oliver, you're right. It seems that my consideration is not too well thought out, with our current situation to develop new products is not necessary.
Seeing that the chief has figured this out, Oliver's face smiled a little more.
"I'm glad you're thinking clearly, chief. Oliver said heartily. "Now we have to add more people, only then can we guarantee the human resources and your own safety factor.
Now that all the problems have been solved, William has figured it out too.
Now what he has to do is very simple, that is to buy the genetic human as soon as possible, and expand the subordinate manpower is.
The first thing you need to do is open the "Time Trader" option to buy genes, and according to the template that has been set, 442200dollar a genes William bought 12 people in one breath.
This used up 5306400dollar of William's cash, but even so, William was left with more than 220,000dollar of cash.
This remaining money, William is considered a good plan.
He was going to save some of it, and when he had saved enough three million, he invested in the "cottage" to produce flintlocks and paper ammunition as soon as possible.
As long as there are flintlocks, then firearms can be sold in large quantities to the warriors of the Mohican tribe. Even William had thought about it, even if they didn't have furs to exchange, they could "buy on credit".
He can encourage the Mohican warriors to attack other tribes, or simply to attack the "white skin" settlements.
The reason why Artido's father has been suppressing the "angry" people in his tribe is because of the European firearms and artillery. If they were provided with the same weapons, then the Europeans would not be so scary for the Mohican tribe.
Although the Indians did not have the craftsmanship and technology to make firearms, even the mineral resources were not available. But also can't help William has "plug-in" ah, he can not build factories, is through the space-time trader to supply firearms.
And the price of firearms in the time and space trader is not as high, only 1000dollar a rod only.
This price is only two mink skins, or five beaver skins price.
But can be exchanged from the Indian tribe for hundreds of skins ah.
Therefore, the firearm is also a very profitable business, William has long been very keen.
The reason he didn't sell the firearms to the Mohican tribe was that he had to get hold of the flintlocks.
He couldn't let the Indians have guns in their hands and not have them.
At the very least, the guns here had to be more advanced than the ones sold to others.
The shape of William's tent was different from the Indian's tent here, and from the outside, it looked like an oversized "yurt".
Inside the yurt, in addition to William and Oliver, Daniel and Steven, there were 12 more bare-assed old men.
"You three go pick your men, four men each!
William gestured to the three of them so that Oliver and the three of them have become leaders.
And time and space trading machine, also at this time there are some changes ......

Dungeon Instinct
The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch? For Kelic the Blightborn, life was suffering. Born of a holy Templar dedicated to serving the Forgotten Guardian and a powerful abyssal demon queen that raped said Templar, Kelic’s first sight and sensation in Quellios and its realms was being baptized in the life-blood of his dying father. Tortured in the 1425th level of the abyss for ten years, Kelic was only set free of this constant nightmare of an existence by the unintended results of the Ascendant Angel’s rise to true divinity. His freedom from the abyss was not the paradise that the young Kelic thought however, as he was branded a BlightBorn, or a child of tragedy that brings only misfortune, by the people of Quellios. Abused by all he ever knew or met the boy found solace in only in the things of beauty and the act of reading, a skill he taught himself. His latent ability to comprehend and remember all of what he read and the sheer speed of his reading gained the attention of a prominent figure of Evrette Academy Island. Taken in by the famous mage Fredrick Dunhousen, Kelic lived in peace for the first time in his young life… that is until he was killed. Follow the tale of a newly born dungeon core in the world of Eserthet, that has only one single purpose. One single purpose it decided for itself...

8 218Eleknar's Heir, The Infernal Prince (Demonic LitRPG)
A LitRPG and Epic Fantasy adventure: The son of a mafia boss finds himself abruptly plunged into an alternate world where he must find a way to survive the horrors of a realm called Oblivion, make pacts with demons, form unnatural friendships, and figure out what the hell is going on – all while dealing with the depressing reality of his past. An artificial intelligence has ascended into godhood and has thrown Trey’s home into Chaos, pulling millions of people into an enchanted new life... or, in Trey's case, a violent nightmare. As far as he can tell, he is locked into what the system prompts call a ‘Death Game.’ Here, artificial reality is manufactured for the enjoyment of a being called the All Spirit, and he has a very real chance of truly dying. Just how real is this place though? Is it merely a simulation, a realistic game of life and death… or is it something much more? Elves, dwarves, undead, and other races only thought to exist in fairy tales are now a reality. Black magics, pantheons of gods at odds with one another, predatory symbiotes, and an unholy calling, the significance of which he has yet to grasp, are all entangled with his fate. ============================================ ============================================ Some things to expect when reading this book series: - Brutal storyline where no character is safe and choices have real consequences. Heavy on action, survival, and adventure - An isekai. The main character struggles to find himself, repeatedly crossing the line between good and evil as other important characters influence his life - Harem (explicit), though this only starts about 180k words in. - Good amounts of crafting, town building, and guild building later on - Good amounts of fantasy-related LitRPG stats, rank ups, and evolutions. Heavy focus on demons and black magics - There will be many points of view, but there is only one primary/main character that takes up 90% of the POV - A long storyline. Currently (as of 7/26/2021) I have about 1500k words written, though much of it will have to be heavily edited and re-written. I also plan to go far beyond 1500k words if people like the story (A lot of it is also in the 'backstories' book that explores the guildmates, the link is below) - Chapters will have an average of about 4k-5k words, a little longer than most other books on RR, though there will be exceptions for more and less. I just didn't like posting chapters that didn't feel complete, and 2k words often felt like too little. - If you like super-heroic and goody-goody characters, this story is not for you. ***Updated once a week***
