After making a round near the Sugar Refinery entrance, the two did not get out of the carriage. Instead, they stayed seated for a while and continued watching the merchants who had just bought White Sugar.
The moment those merchants left the Sugar Refinery, they were immediately surrounded by other merchants still waiting in line.
"I'll pay fifty percent more! Sell it to me!"
"Only fifty percent more? I'll pay double!"
The merchants began bidding against one another, making the entrance to the Sugar Refinery lively once more.
These merchants wanted to buy the White Sugar that the lucky few had just gotten their hands on. Judging from the expressions of those three men, they were clearly tempted. They had not sold it yet only because they were waiting to see whether anyone would offer a higher price.
Victor and Rabik watched for a while longer. After a moment, Victor instructed the coachman, "Keep going. Head to the Sugar Beet Plantation."
For those merchants, how to handle this batch of White Sugar next became a crucial question—whether to transport it away directly or resell it to larger merchant guilds.
But no matter what they decided, it seemed to have nothing to do with Victor and the others. After all, Two Rivers Territory had already made an extremely considerable profit from this transaction.
According to the White Sugar pricing strategy Victor had formulated for Two Rivers Territory beforehand, each kilogram of White Sugar now sold for one Silver Coin, while its cost was only three Copper Coins.
That meant every kilogram of White Sugar sold brought in a net profit of as much as seven Copper Coins!
More importantly, this enormous profit belonged entirely to Two Rivers Territory and did not need to be handed over to any third party.
