Chapter 143 Can’t Eat

Andrew didn’t hesitate at all about Purficott’s invitation.

Although this was another large-scale investment for him and would even affect the current factory operations, Odrew agreed to Purficott's invitation without hesitation.

Are you kidding? Anyone with a sound mind can figure out what this invitation means!

This is an invitation from the Northern Lords!

Not to mention that the earl holds the right to confer pioneering nobles and a large area of ​​land in the north waiting to be reclaimed. Just by building a steel plant and a manufacturing plant for her, he can make huge profits. .

Andrew is a qualified businessman and he will not miss such a lucrative business.

Of course, it is not a simple matter to meet Purficott's request. At least for Andrew now, it means that all the factories and various relationships he just built this year will have to go to war.

After weighing the pros and cons, Andrew decided to take a gamble.

It would be too courageous and courageous to dare not invest even though you know that you are unlikely to lose money.

According to Andrew's calculations, even if he adopts the worst option and moves all the steel plants and manufacturing plants he built this year to the north, he will not lose much.

At most, it will only cost a large shipping fee for subsequent product output.

But you only need to think about the huge orders brought by the subsequent expansion of the northern border, and you can understand what amazing market prospects there will be in the future.

It can be said that any businessman with brains will not let go of such a huge market.

Of course, there are still risks. After all, the North is still a wasteland. If the factory is relocated and the development of the North does not progress as expected, and the factory's losses exceed Andrew's ability to bear, then he still has a chance. The risk of bankruptcy.

But how is it possible to make a steady profit without losing money in business?

Risk and return are directly proportional.

"Congratulations, Mr. Andrew, you made a right choice." Purficott nodded with satisfaction.

Andrew's steel factory was not her only choice, nor was it the only one she invited, but it was clear that Andrew made a choice that satisfied her.

"I still want to thank you, Lord Earl, for giving me this opportunity. Anyone can see what a vast market the northern border will be in the future." Andrew looked very confident in front of Purficott. Low.

Although the market in the north needs to be developed by oneself, it may seem like a wilderness to some people, but in Andrew's eyes, it is a vast, uncultivated blue ocean!

The market needs to be developed and cultivated? Is there any better market environment than this to cultivate a user base?

Start from scratch with a blank sheet of paper, which means you can paint everything on it.

As long as you develop enough market inertia and habits, the initial investment is indeed a bit larger, but it also means that there will be as big a market as you can develop.

This is a completely monopolistic business. As long as there is enough ability and appetite, eating the entire northern territory is enough for a company to expand into an industry giant!

"The market in the north is indeed vast, but developing it also means a huge initial investment. Do you have the strength to take it all?" Purficott asked Andrew, although she knew that Andrew would definitely not be able to take the entire north. environment market. Facing Purficott's inquiry, Andrew wanted to say that he could eat it, but after weighing his own strength, he still shook his head regretfully.

“The entire Northern Territory is too vast. According to your plan, Lord Earl, I can only eat a share of the steel part of the industrial center you plan in the future, or even Even this share may not be digested in a short period of time, which is really regrettable. "Andrew did not force himself on the fat man. He knew how much he was capable of, and he also knew how big the market share was in the north. That's not something you can monopolize.

After all, Andrew is just a newcomer to the colonial steel industry in the New World. Although he has the ambition to become the leader of the industry's monopoly, it must be admitted that his career has just started.

Although he got off to a good start, it only proved that his company is a potential new star in the industry. It is still far away from becoming an industry giant or even a monopoly leader.

If it were ten years later, he would naturally be confident that he could capture the entire northern market.

But now, not to mention the emerging bourgeois giants in the country who have already grown up relying on the market of the entire empire, Andrew can't convince just his colleagues in the New World.

“It’s good to open your mouth as much as you have your appetite. At least you have self-awareness and are not boasting about me.” Perfectcott didn’t mind that Andrew was not capable enough to eat the entire market.

On the contrary, if Andrew could really take over the entire northern market, she would have to consider replacing someone to do it.

After all, this is related to her control of the entire northern territory in the future. If someone's family dominates, then she really has to weigh it.

At present, Andrew's level of barely enough to take part in the steel part of the future industrial center is just right, not enough strength, not too strong and out of control.

However, Purficott still said to Andrew: "The production of the steam knight parts that were given to you last time must be transferred to the new industrial center. This is not a consultation but a notification. I didn't think about it before and directly transferred it to the new industrial center. All the drawings are given to you, but this is still a bit dangerous for the security of the empire’s military secrets, so you understand.”

“I am prepared to do this even if you don’t mention it. This kind of design is the most dangerous to the empire. Advanced military secrets really need to be kept secret, and they should all be moved to the north." Andrew did not object to this.

In fact, James warned him at the beginning, even if what Purficott handed him was just the production of some parts for the Steam Rider, it would be enough to make his factory the focus of the eyes of various countries, let alone He has a complete set of design drawings in his hand except for the power core.

It can be said that during this period, Andrew and James did not dare to let this set of drawings out of their sight. No matter what time, one of the two of them would always guard next to the safe in the factory to avoid any There is a risk that this set of drawings will be copied or leaked.

Even in Andrew's factory, he distributed the production of various parts to several different factories, and even one part had to be transferred to two or three factories before it was finally produced.

The purpose is to prevent workers in the factory from mastering all technical information.

Although this is not in line with Andrew's business philosophy, considering the possible consequences if the blueprints of the Steam Knight Armor are leaked, Andrew still feels that it is worth it.
