Chapter 99 IQ tax?

Half a month later.

The news that Astapor was occupied by a force called Atlantis was known to everyone in Slaver's Bay.

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

Only then did the merchants in Slaver's Bay know why the name Atlantis seemed familiar.

Isn't this the city-state behind Julang Maritime Merchant, which has recently become famous because of Poseidon Brewing.

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

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

As soon as the news was released, the originally deserted Astapor Pier became lively in an instant.

Poseidon brew = profit.

This is the consensus among businessmen, because I don’t know when Poseidon Brewing’s unique logo has become synonymous with luxury.

The nobles and merchants in central and western Essos are proud to taste the various types of wine brewed by Poseidon.

The free trade cities in the east don't know much about Poseidon Brewing, but they have also heard of Poseidon Brewing's name.

And according to the news released by Atlantis, there is now not only a standard version of Poseidon Brew for 398 Golden Dragons, but also a customized exclusive version for 648 Golden Dragons.

In addition, there is a 128 gold dragon free version, a 98 gold dragon regular version, and a 6 gold dragon trial version.

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

Many merchants who originally stopped in Yunkai heard the news and came to Astapor one after another.

But they soon discovered that the only trial version that could be pre-ordered in batches was a bottle of 6 gold dragons.

Because the ones with 98 gold dragons and 128 gold dragons are only sold to nobles, and the ones with 398 gold dragons and 648 gold dragons are only sold to royal family members.

Although they were very dissatisfied with this, they did not dare to make mistakes when facing the Unsullied soldiers stationed around the Great Wave Pyramid.

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

In one morning, 500 copies of the trial version of 6 Golden Dragon were reserved.

The trial version of Poseidon Brewing is made with leftover materials and costs almost nothing.

In other words, Jack earned five thousand gold dragons in one morning.

It can be seen that when an item is promoted as a luxury product, its profit will be high.

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

The Pyramid of Julang, the second largest existing pyramid in Astapor, was occupied by the Julang Chamber of Commerce and transformed into the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.

The First Great Pyramid was occupied by Kaido and transformed into the Atlantis Empire Embassy.

The third largest pyramid is the administrative office of the puppet regime of Astapor.

In the Poseidon at the dock, Marty and Jack were having a meal. Even on the ship, the food was still rich because of the convenient supply.

Marty came from Meereen. Because he wanted to establish a branch of the Chamber of Commerce, he just asked Marty to bring a group of backbones from Meereen to Astapor.

With this group of key 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 Poseidon Brew of three hundred gold dragons on a large scale like before?"

Marty was a little confused. A lot of Poseidon Brew was sold for 6 gold dragons, but wouldn't it be faster to make money if Poseidon Brew for 300 gold dragons was sold in large quantities?

"Because the nobles of Essos are so rich, I didn't expect them to be so willing to spend money for their own vanity."

The great nobles competed with each other on slaves, land, wives, gold, and precious stones. They competed on everything they could.

Naturally, I wouldn't mind comparing my taste in wine now.

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

Maybe we are not making money now, but when our chamber of commerce branches are opened all over the world, we will just start making money. "

"I understand, Your Majesty. I will arrange for people to buy a piece of land in Yunkai to establish a branch when I get back. We will start from Yunkai."

"You don't need to buy the land yourself. Talk directly to the great sages of Yunkai and ask them to provide the land. Otherwise, we will not sell Poseidon Brew and other products 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 a bit too much. He just wanted to harvest them and asked them to provide land.

"No, they have no shortage of places to build chambers of commerce branches. 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 still handle a weak Free Trade City alone."

Marty was a little stunned after hearing Jack's words. Isn't this a gangster? He just slaps a label on someone and then directly sends troops to beat them.

But then Marty was relieved.

There was no reason for Astapor to be beaten more than half a month ago. Jack suddenly appeared in Slaver's Bay and turned Astapor into his colony.

Jack is not worried at all about people boycotting his products.

Although Atlantis currently does not have enough talents to occupy and control other trading city-states, it can still be done to conquer and plunder.

The most difficult siege battle is nothing in front of Godzilla. The Unsullied can easily enter the city.

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

Marty's eyes flickered slightly, and then he suggested: "Your Majesty, although Dono is a little stupid, he works very hard and is very familiar with the work. I think he can serve as the branch president of Meereen."

Jack immediately understood Marty's idea. This is to help his brother take the position.

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

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

"In addition, take out 20% of the profits from the Poseidon Brew sold in Slave Bay to promote the Poseidon Brew."

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

"No matter how famous it is, it must be promoted. In the future, Poseidon Brew will take out 20% of the profits for promotion. Luxury goods are IQ taxes. How can anyone buy them without promotion?"

"I understand, Your Majesty, I will arrange this matter." Seeing that Jack had made up his mind, Marty said no more.

He just gave Jack a suggestion for reference. Marty never doubted Jack's decision, because Jack's decision has never been wrong.
