()"It seems that I am too optimistic." Aaron looked at the bills of the past few days and said with a sad face, "The future of this company is worrying."
"Don't say that, the transaction with the dwarves is quite smooth, isn't it?" Sicco Thermaplugg seemed to be very satisfied with Ya-Mei Trading Company's current situation, and even comforted Aaron.
Two days ago, Brann came to Gnomeregan with the previously agreed payment, and took away fifty revolvers. He also said that if they used them well, he would buy another batch.
In order to satisfy the dwarves, Aaron also specially asked employees to mark the pistols that were going to be sold to the dwarves with the Explorers' League mark. In addition, they also provided thirty rounds of free bullets for each gun. Although there was still profit in the end, the profit was indeed not as expected.
"If it weren't for the payment from the dwarves, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to pay next month's salary." Thinking of this, Aaron rolled his eyes and said to Sicco Thermaplugg.
"That's okay, don't you think this is still an order entrusted by the dwarves?" Sicco Thermaplugg patted the table
As Sicco Thermaplugg said, fortunately Brann came here and brought Explorers' League's order for the development of archaeological excavation tools. Otherwise, I don't know how long this newly opened company can sustain.
"Speaking of this, I have a new idea." Aaron looked at the list brought by Brann, which was full of requirements such as the performance of various tools they needed, and said to Sicco Thermaplugg, "I think we can specialize in this kind of business in the future. The buyer will place the order first, and then design and produce it."
"It's definitely feasible. We've done this before. Your company still has a production advantage, so there's no problem." Sicco Thermaplugg said nonchalantly.
Gnomes have also provided various mechanical products to other races in the past. In addition to those mature products that have passed the test of time, gnomes in most cases provide customized products based on customer needs. Naturally, they are not unfamiliar with the model proposed by Aaron.
"Then the question is, we have such a large output, who should we do business with?" Aaron looked at Sicco Thermaplugg and asked.
Sicco Thermaplugg was startled when he heard Aaron's question. Then he realized the problem: Ya-Mei Trading Company can only take advantage of the new model provided by Aaron by doing large transactions. If you do small-order business,, I am afraid there is no way to compete with those dwarf craftsmen who have already accumulated a customer base. Not to mention other people, even Sicco Thermaplugg who is very enthusiastic about all things Ya-Mei Trading Company cannot possibly share the customers he is familiar with with Aaron for free.
"If you think about it this way, you probably need to have at least a trading partner of the size of Explorers' League to be qualified, right?" Sicco Thermaplugg thought for a while and suggested, "I'm actually quite familiar with Goblin's companies. Do you want me to help you contact them?"
Aaron heard this and shook his head hurriedly, saying, "I'm worried that my little capital is not enough to make a loss when doing business with Goblin, so I'd better change my goal."
Sicco Thermaplugg quite agrees with Aaron's statement. The gnomes have been dealing with Goblin for a long time. Generally speaking, they often suffer losses and seldom make gains. If it weren't for the fact that some of the things needed for manufacturing machinery can only be provided by Goblin, the gnomes would not deal with Goblin so frequently.
Sicco Thermaplugg made another suggestion. "Then how about you go to various human countries to do business?"
"Looking for them? What should I sell to them?" Aaron realized that the proposal Sicco Thermaplugg said was indeed valuable. Human beings are the most prosperous ethnic group of Eastern Kingdoms, and human countries are really excellent trading partners. Especially Aaron's human identity makes it easier for him to deal with human countries.
However, Aaron could not think of doing business with other human countries at the moment. Although Aaron had previously said that it would do business in which buyers would provide the products and require them to design and produce them, but before the company's reputation was established, I am afraid that human countries would not do business with Aaron.
"Let me think about it, Kingdom of Stormwind and Stromgarde are both rebuilding, do you want to provide them with some construction machinery?" Sicco Thermaplugg thought for a while and said.
"Construction machinery? It doesn't seem impossible." Aaron nodded. This idea is indeed a good one. Human countries that are still undergoing reconstruction should be very interested in products that can facilitate their reconstruction work.
"In that case, do you want me to ask Stormwind City for you? When I went to help them build the subway with Mekkatorque, I was quite familiar with that kid King."
Sicco Thermaplugg took the initiative to take over the task of going to Stormwind City to develop the market. Aaron proposed that he would go to Stromgarde to see the situation. Unfortunately, he failed to meet Thoradin reached a deal, but Aaron later remembered that Kingdom of Gilneas was building a wall, and finally got an order from Prince Liam, whom he had met once.
Although the order amounts given by various countries are not very large because they are not familiar with Aaron and Ya-Mei Trading Company, it is enough for Ya-Mei Trading Company to operate normally.
In order to complete the production of several orders received so far, Aaron expanded the company's scale and recruited many dwarf apprentices. However, after the company's scale expanded, the space previously rented to him by Mekkatorque seemed a little insufficient, so Aaron simply rented a few more sites.
In order to facilitate the company's subsequent expansion, Aaron is planning to build a new venue at the location of New Tinkertown in the game, but there is no need for this yet.
"I always feel that just selling some civilian machinery is a bit unfair to our company's name." Aaron looked at the gradually abundant funds in the company's books, but a new idea came to his mind. "As expected, I still want to do some arms trade."
"Speaking of which, it seems that the only areas that can be expected to be in a state of war in the future are..." Aaron muttered, turning to look at Vereesa who was in a bored daze.
"Why are you looking at me if you don't look at your accounts?" After noticing Aaron's gaze, Vereesa glanced at Aaron strangely.
Aaron said to Vereesa, "Vereesa, do you think the rangers will be interested in the mechanical products of the gnomes?"
"What do you mean?" Vereesa said hesitantly.
Aaron smiled and said, "How about it, you have been away from Quel'Thalas for such a long time, do you want to go back and have a look?"
"It's okay to go back, Dun Morogh and Gnomeregan's climate always makes me feel a little uncomfortable." Vereesa didn't understand why Aaron suggested this for a while, but he still nodded.
Although the High Elfs have become different from their distant relatives Night Elf due to the changes in their living environment over the past thousands of years, the High Elfs are still accustomed to living in areas with dense vegetation and close to nature, especially the elf rangers who are accustomed to fighting in Eversong Woods.
The cold weather in Dun Morogh and the smell of machinery in Gnomeregan are both difficult for Vereesa to adapt to, but because Aaron looks at the trade Vereesa was concerned about the company's affairs, so he tolerated it for the time being. Now Aaron offered to return to Quel'Thalas, and Vereesa was naturally very happy.
"Actually, Stormwind City has a lot of enemies over there that need to be cleared. Why don't you go to Stormwind City?" Xal'atath's voice sounded in Aaron's mind, "Actually, you just want Vereesa to go home and take a look, right?"
"Yes, that's what I thought." Aaron answered Xal'atath without hesitation.
"Hey, you don't hide it at all. It's boring." Xal'atath fell silent again.
After instructing the dwarf craftsmen to pay attention to the newly installed production lines in the company so as not to cause problems, Aaron and Vereesa left Gnomeregan and embarked on the journey to Quel'Thalas.
