Chapter 99

Half a month later.

The news that Astapor had been captured by a force called Atlantis was known throughout Slaver's Bay.

At the same time, Atlantis announced the establishment of a transit chamber of commerce in Astapor to sell Poseidon Brew.

Only then did the merchants in Slave Bay realize why the name Atlantis sounded so familiar.

Isn't this the city-state behind the Julang Merchants? The Julang Merchants have recently become famous because of the Poseidon Brew.

According to the news broadcast by Asta, it means that unlimited quantities of Poseidon's Brew can be purchased in Astapor in the future.

In addition, soap, glass and various handicraft products will also be sold.

As soon as the news was released, the originally deserted Astapor Docks instantly became lively.

Poseidon Brew = Profit.

This is the consensus among businessmen, because Poseidon Brewing's unique logo has become synonymous with luxury at some point.

The nobles and merchants in central and western Essos are proud to be able to taste the various types of fine wine brewed by the sea god.

The free trade cities in the east don't know much about Poseidon's Brew, but they have heard of its reputation.

And according to the news released by Atlantis, there is not only the standard version of Poseidon Brew for 398 golden dragons, but also a customized premium version for 648 golden dragons.

In addition, there is the Enjoyment Edition for 128 golden dragons, the Standard Edition for 98 golden dragons, and the Trial Edition for 6 golden dragons.

After linking Poseidon Brew with luxury goods, Jack decisively adopted some luxury goods sales models and developed various versions.

Many merchants who originally docked in Yunkai heard the news and came to Astapor.

But they soon discovered that the only trial version available for bulk pre-order was 6 Golden Dragons per bottle.

Because the ones worth 98 gold royalties and 128 gold royalties are only sold to nobles, and the ones worth 398 gold royalties and 648 gold royalties are only sold to royal nobles.

Although they were very dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to act rashly in the face of the Unsullied soldiers stationed around the Giant Wave Pyramid.

However, although other versions cannot be pre-ordered, the 6 Golden Dragons trial version is still very popular.

In just one morning, five hundred copies of the 6 Golden Dragons trial version were pre-ordered.

The trial version of Poseidon Brew is made from leftover materials, and the cost is almost zero.

In other words, Jack earned five thousand gold royals in just this morning.

It can be seen how high the profit will be when an item is promoted as a luxury item.

People will no longer consider the value of the product itself, but will start to think about how much face and vanity the product will bring to them.

The Big Wave Pyramid, the second largest existing pyramid in Astapor, was occupied by the Big Wave Chamber of Commerce and transformed into a chamber of commerce headquarters.

The first pyramid was occupied by Kaido and transformed into the Embassy of the Atlantis Empire.

The third largest pyramid is the administrative center of the Ashtapor puppet regime.

Inside the Poseidon at the dock, Marty was having dinner with Jack. Even though they were on the ship, the meals were still plentiful because of the convenient supplies.

Marty came from Meereen. Since they wanted to establish a branch of the Guild of Commerce, they could just let Marty bring a group of key members from Meereen to Astapor.

With this group of core members, we can directly recruit a group of employees in Astapor to set up a branch chamber of commerce.

"Your Majesty, why don't you just wholesale the Sea God Brew worth 300 gold royals on a large scale like before?"

Marty was a little confused. A lot of Poseidon Brew that cost 6 gold royalties was sold, but if he sold Poseidon Brew that cost 300 gold royalties in large quantities, wouldn't he make money faster?

"Because the nobles of Essos are so rich. I didn't expect that they would be so willing to spend money for their vanity."

The great nobles compared slaves, land, wives, gold, and jewels with each other. They compared everything that could be compared.

Now, of course, I wouldn't mind comparing my taste for fine wine.

"Don't worry, just do as I say, the 98 and 128 models are only sold to nobles, and the 398 and 648 models are only sold to rulers.

Maybe we don't make money now, but when our chamber of commerce branches are opened all over the world, the time to make money will just begin."

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will arrange for someone to buy a piece of land in Yunkai and establish a branch when I return. We will start with Yunkai."

"You don't have to buy the land yourself. Just go talk to the great sages of Yunkai and ask them to provide the land. Otherwise, we won't sell Poseidon's Brew and other goods in Yunkai."

Marty was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Will this make them unite to boycott our products?"

In Marty's opinion, this was really too much. Not only were they harvesting the crops from them, but they were also asking them to provide land.

"No, they have no shortage of places to build branches of the Chamber of Commerce. As long as they dare to boycott our products, we will say that they have stolen our technology and send troops to attack them."

Jack smiled and patted Marty on the shoulder. "Although our navy is very weak now, with Poseidon here, we can easily deal with a weak free trade city-state alone."

Marty was a little stunned after hearing what Jack said. Isn't this just a gangster? He just puts a hat on others and then sends troops to attack them.

But then Marty was relieved.

More than half a month ago, Astapor was beaten for no reason at all, but Jack suddenly appeared in Slave Bay and turned Astapor into his own colony.

Jack isn't worried at all about others joining forces to boycott his products.

Although Atlantis does not have enough talents to occupy and control other trading city-states for the time being, it can still conquer and plunder them.

The most difficult siege battle is no problem at all in front of Godzilla, and the Unsullied can easily enter the city.

"Marty, you will be the district president of Slaver Bay from now on. When you come back, I will ask Rutger to arrange two more ministers to assist you in your work."

Marty's eyes twinkled, and then he suggested, "Your Majesty, although Dono is a little bit stupid, he works very hard and is very familiar with his job. I think he can serve as the head of the Meereen branch."

Jack immediately understood Marty's idea. He wanted to help his brother get promoted.

The three city-states in Slave Bay must have three branch presidents. As the district minister, he naturally hopes that the three branch presidents are all his people.

"Okay, I'll arrange for two people to come over. As the district president, you are in charge of the entire Slaver's Bay branch. I have seen Dono's attitude, so let him be the president of the Meereen branch."

"In addition, 20% of the profits from the Poseidon Brew sold in Slave Bay will be used to promote the Poseidon Brew."

"Your Majesty, Poseidon Brewing is now famous. I think this 20% profit can be saved to expand the factory."

"No matter how famous you are, you still need to promote it. In the future, Poseidon Brewing will set aside 20% of its profits for promotion. Luxury goods are just a tax on your IQ. How can anyone buy them without promotion?"

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter." Seeing that Jack was determined, Marty said no more.

He was just giving Jack a suggestion for reference. Marty never doubted Jack's decision because Jack had never made a mistake in his decision so far.
