Chapter 71: Every Kingdom's Frightening Potential

"Because you have established cooperative relations with our kingdom in all areas, you will also later get the right to buy the products made by our kingdom at the lowest price. As is the case with the wood produced by our kingdom. We usually sell the wood for 500 thousand berries for each unit of wood. As for those of you who are building a cooperative relationship with our kingdom. We will give the price for the wood at 400 thousand berries" Ars paused and continued, "Currently our Ministry of Agriculture has started running and it is likely that in April the products for the Ministry of Agriculture will soon produce mainly rice products owned by our kingdom"

"Our kingdom has paddy fields with an area of 24.95 square kilometers and we have developed 24,950 rice fields with each land measuring 1000 square meters" Ars paused and continued, "According to the Deputy Head of the Department of Agriculture for the rice area, every rice field will produce as much as 5 to 10 tons of rice for each harvest. With a total of 24,950 paddy fields and we will harvest 10 tons of rice per field. So our rice production every harvest is 249,500 tons of rice"

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "This number is still a rough estimate from us. There may be more than this and perhaps less than this. However, we can guarantee that our kingdom will be able to produce rice as much as more than 200,000 tons of rice for each harvest" Ars stopped again and continued, "Currently the market price of rice in the outside world has a number that varies from as low as 750 berries up to 850 berries for every kilogram of rice depending on the location where the rice is sold. This is the result of data collection that we have obtained before."

Ars stopped back and continued, "While in our kingdom. We will divide the price of rice into two prices. The price that will be sold to our civilians as well as to the citizens of the kingdom that we establish cooperation with and the price that will later be sold to a kingdom that has no cooperative relationship with us or can be said to be a kingdom that has no cooperative relationship with us. we"

Ars stopped again and continued, "For the price for the citizens of our kingdom or the citizens of the kingdom who build cooperative relations with our kingdom. We will give a price of 600 berries for every kilogram of rice while for citizens from kingdoms who do not have a relationship with us, we will give a price of 700 berries."

The citizens of the Prodance Kingdom, Ryugu Kingdom, and Amazon Lily kingdom immediately cheered upon hearing the price given by Ars.

"The price of wood and the price of rice that I said are just examples of every product made by our kingdom. Later, the benefits of the kingdom building cooperative relations with our kingdom. Every citizen or kingdom can buy all products from our kingdom at the lowest price and then they can also sell these products back to increase their kingdom's income. For example, for wood from our kingdom"

Ars paused for a moment and looked at Hancock, "Currently our kingdom has a transaction with the Gally-La Company which is the best shipbuilding company in the world currently located on Water Seven Island. As the best shipbuilding company, every month this company gets a lot of ship orders. The Gally-La Company has now placed an order for wood to our kingdom and we have given them a 10% discount on every transaction for helping us some time ago."

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "The Amazon Lily Kingdom from now on can handle the problem of selling timber for the Gally-La Company. Even though we give them a 10% discount on every transaction. Your kingdom will be able to get a lot of benefits in one transaction. The Gally-La Company will usually place an order for the wood that we have as much as 100,000 units of wood and if your kingdom buys the wood from our kingdom for 400 thousand berries for each unit. Although there will be a 10% discount from the promise I've given before. At least your kingdom can still get a profit of 5 billion berries for the transaction."

Everyone instantly fell silent, especially the Kings of various kingdoms.

Ars' gaze then turned to Elizabello II, "That also applies to you guys. How about the wood sales you did before? Did it run successfully?"

"Yes," Elizabello II said with a smile of enthusiasm, "We have managed to sell all the wood we currently have and the total profit in this transaction is 6.25 billion," Elizabello II said, "Currently there are still a lot of reorders of these woods and the plan after this meeting is over. We want to repurchase"

Elizabello II's words immediately made everyone silent again.

"It's easy to get a source of income, isn't it?" Ars asked with a smile, "Even then you guys only make transactions with one product from our kingdom. What about other products such as rice? If you buy 2500 tons of rice from us and sell it to other kingdoms for 700 berries for every kilogram. How much profit can you get?"

"That's around 1.75 billion berries," Tsuru said seriously with a face full of surprise.

Everyone who could calculate well immediately got the answer and it left everyone speechless.

"That's around 1.75 billion berries," Ars said with a smile, "Through the two products we sold to your kingdom. You have already made a profit of 8 billion berries. What about other products? For example, the original product of your kingdom is for you to sell and your sale is a sale that can bring profits to your side. For example the Kingdom of Prodance. You are the country the largest meat producer in the new world region. But the way you sell the meat is very wrong."

"Wrong?" Elizabello II asked in confusion.

"Yes. You're wrong" Ars nodded, "If you guys want to make a huge profit. You don't sell meat by selling the livestock directly, but it's better to produce the livestock meat first." Ars paused and looked at Hancock and Neptune, "You pay attention too. This will also be of benefit to you."

Hancock and Neptune nodded seriously.

Not only them but everyone watching was currently paying serious attention. The World Government, Navy, Revolutionary Army, Pirates, and Kings of the current empire didn't want to distract them.

"The average price of cattle sold is around 2 to 3 million berries. Usually, for the cow itself, the cow will be able to produce meat weighing 1 to 2 tons. If you can take good care of the cows and give them a good feed. The meat that will be produced by the cow will be of high quality which makes the price higher. Then, never sell cows or livestock while they are still alive. It is better to sell the meat from the livestock. Selling livestock meat brings more benefits than selling the animals directly. You can take a price estimate by measuring the price of beef for every 100 grams. For our kingdom, I will enforce this rule. Each price of beef that we have managed has a price of around 900 berries for every 100 grams and that is the price for the price to the residents and also the citizens whose kingdoms build cooperative relations with our kingdoms"

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "As for the kingdoms we don't have a cooperative relationship with, we will charge a starting price of 1100 berries for each gram of beef. Well, cows themselves can produce meat weighing 1 ton to 2 tons. We will take only the largest measurement which is 2 tons of beef. 2 tons of beef means 2000 kilograms and if we convert it into grams it will produce 2,000,000 grams then if we take the payment measure for each beef is 100 grams that mean we will get the amount of meat that we can sell is 20,000 grams of beef. With a price of 1100 berries for beef, if we calculate the number of payments obtained through one cow, it is 22 million berries and if we calculate the initial capital for raising the cow, it is a maximum of 4 million berries. At least you will get a profit of 18 million berries from just one cow that you managed to process and sell. If every month your kingdom can manage beef from 500 cows with an average as I calculated before. At least, every month you will make a profit of 9 billion berries"

Ars paused for a moment and continued, "This doesn't just apply to cows. However, you can also do this calculation for other animals. However, you also pay attention to animals such as chickens. You can't do this. Well, if you want to apply this kind of payment. You can try to take an example of how our kingdom enforces the payment."

The three of them nodded.

"Currently, I have explained three products about the benefits you get. Wood will earn 6.25 billion berries, rice will earn around 1.75 billion berries, and the beef you sell will earn 9 billion berries. These are still three products" Ars' gaze stared at Elizabello II, "Your kingdom is a kingdom with extremely terrifying potential. Your kingdom has a very large area and is very good for development. With just 3 products that you market, your total profit is already 17 billion for each month and that's just a rough calculation and only a few products are counted. If I can assume correctly. There is a possibility if you are good at operating your empire. At least, for the Prodance Kingdom in one month, you can earn a profit of 50 billion berries."

Everyone who heard this fell silent, especially the kings of a kingdom.

"If within one month your kingdom gains 50 billion berries and calculates the time of one year. You will be able to get a profit or income of 600 billion berries"

Ars' gaze stared at Neptune, "The ocean's potential is terrifying compared to the land's potential. The ocean holds various sources of wealth and there are also many abundant resources in the ocean. If the Ryugu kingdom could maximize that potential. I can guarantee that your profit within one month will be over 100 or even more than 200 billion berries."

Neptune took a deep breath after hearing this.

"Meanwhile, if we calculate within one year, it is not impossible that your empire will be able to make a profit of more than 2 trillion berries if you maximize the potential you have"

"2-2 trillion berries?!"

Even the Gorosei party who heard this immediately choked and their faces showed disbelief.

Ars said back, "Your kingdom is a kingdom that has the greatest potential even greater than mine, especially your race has the ability that has been bestowed upon you, which is to be free to move in the sea. However, what a shame. You cannot maximize the potential and resources in the ocean. If you can maximize it, your kingdom will be even richer than the World Government in just a few years."

Ars stepped back and looked at Elizabello II and Hancock, "Okay, we're on to the other part. You have listened to a little description of how the benefits that you will get through the process of selling products made by our kingdom as well as your original products and a few ways to sell them. If you still don't understand how you can directly come to our royal library. Many books can teach you how to build a business."

The three of them nodded and right now it was still hard to believe in the potential that their kingdom had especially for Elizabello II and Neptune.

"The thing I want to talk about next is the cooperation that you two want to establish" Ars paused and continued, "What kind of cooperation do you want to establish between the three of you kingdoms? If possible, would you like to listen to the suggestions made by me? I have thought of a good suggestion for your kingdom and perhaps through this suggestion, you can get mutually beneficial cooperation. In addition to being profitable for your kingdom. This cooperation can help the citizens of your kingdom, especially the citizens of the Ryugu Kingdom. If such cooperation can be established, they can freely do business on land. What do you think?"

Elizabello II, Neptune, and Hancock who heard this were very excited. Even though they had a plan they wanted to do. However, if they were given a choice like this. They would of course prefer to listen to the plan Ars laid out for them. The three of them looked at each other and said,

"We accept it"

The Kings of various kingdoms at this time could only stare enviously at Elizabello II, Neptune, and also Hancock. It's not just getting territory protection for free from the Fortis Kingdom. However, they also benefited greatly from their empire-building advice and others.

Nowadays almost all the kings of various kingdoms have one thought. Through various ways be able to build a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Fortis and the same currently applies to Doflamingo.
