82. Competition is also an opportunity

However, judging from the manufacturing process and production methods of these porcelain, these people are absolutely skillful in their skills. If these people are taken in, Norfolk will soon have a group of workers who can produce ceramics on a large scale.

When the time is ripe, I believe Norfolk will produce a large amount of porcelain and silk. By then, silk trading and porcelain trading will become postcards in the Norfolk region. By then, Norfolk will become the richest region in Europe.

Thinking of this in my heart, Scot nodded: "Realistically speaking, I shouldn't have taken you in. After all, doing so will undermine the etiquette among the nobles. But if you have such superb skills, I will make an exception to take you in! But if you want to settle in Norfolk, you must agree to my request!"

"Master, please speak." The slaves kowtowed quickly.

"First, you must learn English as quickly as possible. After all, you are all Norfolk people at this moment and can no longer communicate in your previous language. Second, in the Norfolk area, no one is allowed to listen to the orders of other people except my orders. Third, you must spread your technology to others to ensure that the Norfolk area can produce a large amount of porcelain. Of course, as your lords, I will not let you pay in vain! If you perform well, maybe I will let you get rid of your slave status and become a civilian, or even become a noble in the end."

Now Scott is becoming more and more skillful in making promises to others, and always promises a noble title. Of course, he is the largest noble in the Norfolk region. Isn’t it just a matter of giving it to others?

So recently, the empty checks for noble titles have been flying all over the sky. This phenomenon once made Leo and others have an illusion: Is the noble title really that easy to obtain?

Fortunately, Scott just spoke but didn't do anything, so to this day, there are only a handful of people who have truly become nobles in the Norfolk area.

Although the credibility of such short checks is very low, it is easy to arouse people's ambitions. So, these slaves have kowtowed and expressed their loyalty to Scott.

The man ordered Andy to call him, and Scott told him: "The lives of these people are very important to us, so we must take good care of them and never let them leave at will. Of course, if there is something to do, a special person must be sent to accompany them! Also, recruit some people as soon as possible to teach them English!"

Andy lowered his head and agreed, and was about to take the people away.

As a result, these people shook their heads: "Master Earl, then when can we start working and producing porcelain?"

Looking at these thin slaves, Scott directly replied: "No rush for the time being. Your current important task is to condition your body first. When your physical condition reaches the best state, then we will start producing porcelain."

"Yes, Master Earl." Several slaves agreed timidly, and then they were all taken down by Andy.

After everyone stepped down, Scott turned around and said to Robson: "Robson, you did a good job this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Earl, I don't need any reward! These are things I should do!" Robson shook his head when he heard this, but he paused and said, "Earl, I heard that some merchants from the Netherlands came to Norfolk? One of them, named Alphrede, was you awarded the title of nobles?"

Looking at the worry in Robertson's eyes, Scott naturally understood what he was thinking. It was obvious that he was afraid that the new businessman group would threaten his current position.

Walking forward and patting Robson on the shoulder, Stir comforted: "Don't worry, Robson, you are the old man around me, and have done so many things for me. Can I still alienate you because of the new businessman? Don't worry, our relationship is very strong! Of course, a large number of foreign businessmen flowing in will be beneficial to your business development."

"But, I, I really don't know what help they will help me after they flow in. I just feel that they will threaten my interests, I..." Robson stopped talking.

Seeing that Robson couldn't figure it out, Scott explained helplessly to him: "Roberson, you are also from the merchant class. I think you should know that if a region wants to achieve prosperity, it must rely on a large number of merchant groups and various goods transactions to achieve this goal!"

"If this area really flourishes, then accordingly, people living in this area will benefit from it! Because the market was huge and the flow of people increased, and group aggregation has formed among merchants. Cooperation and competition can create greater profits. So I hope you can understand that while competing, it is also an opportunity for development!"

After listening to Scott's explanation, Robson quickly understood the truth: "So, is the Earl going to create a business model similar to the Venetian Republic?"

In the Republic of Venice, merchants cooperated with each other to complete a task. No matter what difficulties they encountered, they would work together to resist difficulties together. It was under the support of this model that Venetian merchants quickly stood out from merchants from various countries in the Mediterranean, and the Republic of Venice became extremely prosperous due to the support of the huge merchant power.

In order to seek wealth, merchants in many countries have tried their best to imitate the Venetian merchant model, but since there is no strong noble to lead it, it always ends in failure.

Now after listening to Scott's thoughts, Robson involuntarily linked Scott's thoughts with the Venetian model.

Scott nodded with a smile, then shook his head: "The model of Venetian merchants is a simple cooperative relationship. The model we Norfolk will launch is to cooperate in competition and compete in cooperation! If a person cannot adapt to this model, it will be easily eliminated by others! Of course, if he can adapt to this model, then his power will become stronger and eventually form a monopoly business. In short, I am very optimistic about you!"

Robertson lowered his head and said unconfidently: "But the Earl, I'm worried that I can't compete with them."
