Gold is Justice

For Song of the Mermaid, this is an absolute loss.If there is any comfort to Airl from this funeral, then I am afraid that all the expenses of the funeral can be included in the town's reimbursement list, and Song of the Mermaid does not need to spend a penny.

At the thank-you banquet afterwards, Airl, on behalf of Song of the Mermaid, thanked all the townspeople for their condolences.At the same time, it announced that Song of the Mermaid will work harder to become stronger in the future, and will do everything possible to work for the prosperity of Pelican Town.

but……

"That monster even killed the high priest!"

"Isn't it? I didn't expect there to be such a terrifying monster so close to our town."

"Can the mermaid song work? Then a monster is right next to the town and I don't deal with it. I really can't sleep well at night."

"Although the people in Song of the Mermaid are good, I still think... this guild is really weak, right?"

"Yes, yes, it would be great if a stronger guild could come to our town..."

"Hush! Don't be heard by the people of Mermaid Song! They have helped us so much, they are so nice, and they help us make money. Let them hear that we despise them, what do they think?"

"Well, everyone, stop talking about this topic. Sigh... There is such a big monster living next door, which makes me want to move... Originally, the population of Pelican Town is decreasing year by year, so I'm afraid There will be a lot of people who want to move away..."

The dark clouds, like the disappearance of the lost light, slowly shrouded the entire sky of Pelican Town...

dong dong dong-

Early in the morning, the impolite knock on the door woke up the entire Mermaid Song from sleep.

Airl got up from the bed, first glanced out through the window, and saw a luxurious carriage parked on the street outside.

He got up quickly, fixed his hair and clothes in front of the dressing table, put on his hat, and after confirming that everything was ok, he quickly walked out of the room and headed for the stairs with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the door had been opened by Brad, who had been exercising early in the morning. After opening the door, a man wearing a top hat, a tuxedo, and a gentleman's cane walked in with two attendants.

After seeing Airl coming down from upstairs, the gentleman also showed a smile on his face, stepped forward and stretched out his hand and said, "This one should be the president of Mermaid Song, Mr. Airl Garcia Bar?"

Airl froze for a moment, then reached out and shook hands with the other party.Looking back at the same time, I saw that Brad, Buffy, Coco, and Cream were already standing beside them.It's just that these members looked at the gentleman's expression not very kindly, but full of guard.

"I am, may I ask who you are?"

The gentleman nodded, sat down in the seating area beside him, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is the first time we have met. Come, please take a seat. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Norris Paxas, a petty lord of Lagoon City."

As soon as the name was uttered, Airl immediately understood the reason for the vigilance of the members.

His eyeballs rolled slightly, and the originally shallow smile on his face instantly became more "commercial".

Also with the happiest smile, Arrow sat down opposite Viscount Norris, and said with a smile: "So it is Your Excellency the Viscount who is here? I really didn't expect that my little guild could welcome such an honored guest." What are you still doing? Serve tea!"

After being scolded, Ke Ke walked into the kitchen with a displeased face and got ready.

Airl turned to the Viscount in front of him again, with a continued smile on his face: "It's really commendable. I've heard that Viscount Norris is a handsome gentleman with a good aristocratic demeanor. I saw it today. It opened my eyes! You are even more unrestrained than what the rumors say!"

Viscount Norris laughed, nodded lightly, and said, "President Arrow is not bad either. In Lagoon City, I can hear rumors about you and your mermaid song from time to time. I heard that it is a Although he looks a bit delicate, he is an excellent president who is extremely intelligent and good at handling everything. Today we met for the first time, and I immediately confirmed that the rumors are not fake, and there are even some things that cannot fully describe President Airl What's great about it."

The tea was brought up, but Ke Ke just poured a cup for Airl, but didn't even look at the cup in front of Viscount Norris, put down the cup and left.

Such awkwardness naturally caused a smile to appear on Viscount Norris's face, and Cream behind hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the kettle and poured a full glass for Norris, and said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency the Viscount If you have so much admiration for our president, then we will definitely be able to cooperate well in the future, right?"

"Cooperation? Naturally! In this world, it is irrefutable to cooperate to make money. In fact, I am here this time because I want to discuss cooperation with President Airl."

As for the tea, Viscount Norris didn't even look at it, he stretched his body and leaned on the back of the chair, and said slowly.

Airl took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Excuse me, what does the so-called cooperation mean?"

Viscount Norris nodded slightly, and said: "I know President Arrow's outstanding ability in running the guild. Wouldn't it be a waste for such a good talent to condescend to such a small town? Therefore, I would like to invite President Airl can come to Lagoon City and help me manage a small guild I recently acquired."

"In order to express my sincerity, I am willing to pay 100 gold coins as a compensation price. At the same time, I will also send some management talents to assist President Airl in managing Mermaid Song. In this way , President Airl also avoids running multiple guilds at the same time and appearing to be incompetent.”

"Of course, I know that the main income of Song of the Mermaid is the guild war at the end of the year, which can be regarded as a huge head. So I will not delay the time of President Airl. It doesn't need to be long, half a year is enough , as long as you help me get this small guild through the difficult period in the early days of founding."

As soon as these words were uttered, Brad's eyes lit up behind him, and he said softly: "A hundred gold coins? That's amazing! Buffy, it took us several months before we held the guild war and we just earned it." To more than 100 gold coins?"

Buffy nodded vigorously. Although the flower fairy still can't understand human's greed for gold coins, at least she also understands that these little golden things are very important to human beings.

As for such a proposal, Airl smiled, took another sip from the teacup, and said slowly: "Your Excellency, the Viscount really thinks highly of me. I am only 16 years old this year. How can I have you?" How powerful are you talking about? Just managing Song of the Mermaid is almost exhausting me, I really don’t have the extra energy to go back and forth between Lagoon City and Pelican Town to manage the two guilds.”

Viscount Norris laughed, even though the water glass in front of him was no longer steaming, he still didn't touch it: "President Arrow is really too modest. Not good? Not good enough to be run by a guild with only a few members. Guild war is such a big event? Please don’t be humble anymore. And the reason why you feel tired managing Mermaid Song is largely because your guild has few people, and you need to do many things yourself? But with It will be different after I cooperate, I will equip President Airl with a large number of management talents. At that time, you only need to read the financial report every day and give orders, and specific implementation issues will be carried out by special personnel.”

"So, please don't refuse again. This is a win-win way for you, Song of the Mermaid, and even for me. And if you can bring the guild with a lot of competition to me If you do well, then I will definitely recommend you to go to the capital to take charge of a larger guild! By then, your value will rise all the way, and you may even earn a commission of [-] gold coins a year!"

The corner of Airl's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes narrowed accordingly, looking at the Viscount in front of him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

During the pause, after seeing that Viscount Norris still did not take a sip of the tea in front of him, he nodded slowly, and responded with a smile again: "It sounds really tempting... Sigh, but I still have to decline." Your Excellency the Viscount, I seem to be a person who doesn’t like money very much by nature. Instead of increasing my value like this, I’d better manage my one-third of an acre of land.” Being rejected again, the smile on Viscount Norris’s face finally Dimmed a little bit.However, this did not seem to be beyond the other party's expectations. He took off his top hat and handed it to the entourage next to him, and smiled coldly: "President Arrow, I seem to have missed something. It's not so much that I I hope that the cooperation with you...wouldn't be better if I gave you a 'suggestion'?"

Airl shook the hand holding the teacup, and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, what does this mean?"

"It means that this is the best choice for President Arrow. Of course, compared to what President Arrow did in the capital, you'd better accept my suggestion."

Gently, a drop of tea swirled out of the cup, wetting Airl's fingers.

He raised his head and kept looking at the viscount in front of him, trying to see something from his smiling eyes.

However, this man was unmoved in the slightest, and there was no way to see how much he knew in his eyes.

From an economic point of view, during the negotiation process, making the other party think that he has a lot of information about the other party can greatly suppress the other party's asking price. This can be regarded as a threat, but it often has very good intimidation results.

Yes...if, purely from the perspective of economics.

Airl put the teacup on the table, clasped both hands on his lap, and said with a smile: "That's really thanks to Your Majesty the Viscount for your kindness. But I really don't know what the capital has to do with me? Therefore, I can only reject your suggestion. Ah, since we are talking about cooperation, I also have some ideas here. Don’t you, Viscount, want to learn how to run a guild? Then let the guild under your name be allocated first. It is under the management of our Mermaid Song. I am grateful to you for your respect. How about controlling the operation of your guild remotely in Pelican Town? I don’t need the fee of [-] gold coins, just let me take [-]% of your guild’s income How about ten as a reward?"

Finally, the smile on Viscount Norris's face completely disappeared.

Now it was him who began to constantly look at the opponent in front of him, trying to see something in the eyes of this short president.

After a long time, Viscount Norris finally looked away, exhaled slightly and said, "Actually, I really don't want to go this far. Since President Arrow refuses to help, let's put this topic aside for now and talk about it." Let's talk about the next project."

This made Airl a little surprised, so there is another one?

"President Eiro Garcia, from the perspective of the best results, I appreciate your talent very much. But since you refuse to cooperate with me, then I can only settle for the next best thing, hoping to acquire your guild, Song of the Mermaid."

As soon as this proposal was made, the members behind all exploded one by one!Especially Coco, who had already seen the Viscount was upset, immediately shouted: "What do you mean?! Do you want to drive us away from here?!"

Viscount Norris just smiled, and after Coco was pulled back by Cream covering his mouth, he slowly said: "It is said to be an acquisition, but in fact everything in the Mermaid Song will remain the same after the acquisition. President Arrow You can also continue to manage this guild, and all the members of the guild here don’t have to make any changes. Of course, if President Arrow wants to reduce or increase the number of personnel, I don’t care. Even if President Arrow you If I want to resign myself, I have no opinion."

Hearing this, Coco in the back became quiet.

"But relatively, I hope to get 60.00% of the revenue of Song of the Mermaid, which is two-thirds. And in the future on some major guild decision-making issues, I hope you can fully respect my opinions."

"Correspondingly, I will not be stingy with the purchase price. According to the current value of your guild... In addition to you, there are four guild members on your side, each member is [-] gold coins, and I will pay [-] gold coins." How about the purchase fee of gold coins?"

If everything remains the same, but there are [-] more gold coins in one breath, it will be like a dream!

After hearing this proposal, Coco, who had been hostile from just now, finally melted her eyes. She looked at Viscount Norris in surprise, and said softly, "Is this person really a good person?"

Cream also frowned, pinched his chin and said: "I don't know. But so much money? And after being acquired, we can ignore the increase or decrease of our members, and the chairman can continue to operate... No matter how you look at it, it's like Is there a lot of benefits?"

Brad rubbed the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face: "Well... I don't quite understand, do you think this is good? Buffy, you and I are worth two hundred gold coins at once, so it should be a good thing?"

Buffy quickly opened her cloth bag, and said with joy on her face, "Aren't you going to sprinkle pollen to celebrate?"

For this, Airl didn't blame the members of his family.

After all, they are all happy from the bottom of their hearts that the guild can make money, so Arrow understands their current mood.

But from another perspective, Arrow must now face the Viscount in front of him head-on.

"Eight hundred gold coins... If it's a thousand gold coins, I can consider it." Viscount Norris twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and couldn't help laughing: "President Arrow, you are bargaining with me. Don’t be angry if I have something bad to say. According to common sense, Song of the Mermaid without the High Priest is far from worth the money. What’s more, the reason why the previous guild war was successful , also benefited from this high priest, right?"

Ai Luo tapped the table lightly, the expression on his face remained unchanged, he continued to smile and said, "If you really want to buy it, then I can sell it too. 1000 gold coins, the same price, how about it?"

For this price, the viscount's expression clearly showed rejection.To be honest, this expression surprised Airl a little.After all, there is only two hundred gold coins in the middle to show such disgust?

Could it be that……

"President Airl, I'm here to do business with you in good faith. 800 gold coins, I'm the same price. Then, I don't care how much money you have in the account of Mermaid Song, until we sign the purchase agreement I have to take it out all the time. I think this is a good way for you. After all, you can spend as much money as possible before we sign a formal acquisition agreement. The more you spend, the more The more you earn, this is already the biggest compromise I can make."

It seems that this is really out of the question.

Airl exhaled slowly, and turned his head to look at the sky outside the window.He refilled a cup of tea for himself, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the weather is really nice now. Although our Pelican Town is small, there are some interesting and delicious things. How about I take you in our small town?" How about a walk around town?"

On the opposite side, Viscount Norris' complexion gradually turned soft.He looked up and down at Airl for a long time, as if he had got an answer, he nodded lightly: "The scenery in your town is really nice. The air here is very fresh, and the townspeople are also very enthusiastic. It's really leisurely to use as a vacation place. President Arrow, I think you might be able to participate in the construction of your Pelican Town? After all, apart from the leisurely atmosphere, your town doesn't have any unique scenery. "

Airol laughed and said, "Oh? This is really a good proposal. Thank you, Viscount, I will consider it."

The Viscount also smiled. He glanced down at the tea on the table, shook his head lightly, stood up, and put on his top hat again: "In that case, then I won't bother President Airl anymore. Lagoon City is still here. There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with, so I will go first."

Airl also got up quickly, and stretched out his hand to say hello: "Ah, please have a good trip! Brad, come and see off Your Excellency the Viscount."

Brad hurriedly responded and ran over, and together with Airl they sent the viscount off into the carriage.After the two sides exchanged pleasantries again, both of them had smiles on their faces, until the curtain of the carriage was pulled down, and they galloped away.

After the carriage completely disappeared from sight, the smile on Airl's face relaxed a little.Correspondingly, his brows were tightly wrinkled, looking very embarrassed.

It seems that he has been missed.

Although from the perspective of the development of things, Airl felt that sooner or later he would confront the lord head-on.But according to his vision, this kind of head-to-head confrontation will at most occur when the second guild war is held this winter.

But I didn't expect that troubles would come at the door just after spring.

And the most important point is that the viscount was so determined about the difference of two hundred gold coins that he didn't even have any room for bargaining.

Some ominous thoughts floated in Airl's mind, and in an instant, he seemed to feel the cold breath of winter coming again.

I just hope...all this is just an illusion of thinking too much.

Shaking his head, Airl turned around.Seeing that the members were all looking at themselves with very puzzled eyes, they couldn't help but smile, sat on the chairs in the rest area again, and said, "It seems that you have a lot of questions. Well, what's the problem? As long as it is If I can answer it, I will definitely answer it well.”

Chapter 220 Gradually Falling into Difficulty

Brad rubbed the back of his head, chuckled, raised a finger and said, "President, I want to ask why we don't accept—"

Snapped!

Before the big man could finish speaking, Cream on the side directly blocked his mouth with his palm: "Do you need to ask this kind of thing specially? You can understand after a little thought. We have [-] gold coins, and all our business decision-making power has been transferred to the viscount. When he wants to make us lose it all, he really has no resistance at all. compare with……"

Cream looked at Ai Luo worriedly, squeezed his fingers and said, "President Ai Luo, I didn't expect this viscount to be so narrow-minded and so impatient to come out to trouble us. Say, next Where will this guy target us? Will he come here to assassinate you? "

Assassination?

Arrow wasn't too worried about that.In other words, if the purpose of Viscount Norris's action this time is really an order from the capital, then basically his personal safety should be no problem.
