Gold is Justice

That is to make one very tough request of your potential business partner, with no guarantees.In this case, if someone is still willing to believe in you, it proves that the other party really believes in your character.People who are willing to believe in your choice, believe in your vision, and are willing to advance and retreat with you in the storms of the future, rather than just walk away as soon as something happens.

Now, Ariel is sure that this Viscount Rich is one of her business partners.He was willing to believe in himself. For a little Viscount willing to risk a thousand gold coins to do business with himself, it was definitely not an easy decision.

and so……

"Well, thank you, Your Excellency, Viscount Rich. I am really touched by your determination, and I accept this determination."

Viscount Rich was lying on the table dying as if half of his life had been taken away.After panting violently, he said weakly: "So... can you talk about it now? I... I invest... I give money... If you... want to sign a contract... I can also... ...after the signing...can you tell me...what business are we going to do? Huh...I'm tired...President Ariel...please tell me one by one...!"

Ariel got up, poured a glass of water for the viscount herself, put it next to his hand, and said with a smile: "Although I said that I want you to invest a thousand gold coins, in fact you don't really need to give it to me. A thousand gold coins."

Hearing that he didn't actually need to pay, Viscount Rich's body, which was still very decadent, immediately bounced like a spring, looking energetic and full of joy: "Don't you need to pay a thousand gold coins? Okay, I want How to do it? Do you want my catch? Yes! From now on, we will cover all the catches and food of Mermaid Song by Wald Fishery!"

Ariel quickly raised her hand to make the Viscount calm down a bit, and said with a smile: "No, no, you misunderstood me. What I mean is this. Hmm... I'll just tell you what to do Bar."

After a short pause, Ariel also filled her water glass, and said slowly——

"Besides our Mermaid Song, there is also a team from the Magic Association and a team from the Holy See who returned to Pelican City this time. Have you heard about this?"

Viscount Rich nodded, but frowned and said, "They told me when I met your members. So?"

Ariel smiled and said: "I need you to do such a thing, that is, you go to find Eddie Invincible, the leader of the Magic Association team, and George Peanutun, the leader of the Holy See of Light. Then treat the two of them and others The members said that after sponsoring the Song of the Mermaid, your Wald Fishery has experienced a surge in business due to your reputation as the guild champion. In terms of orders, your Wald Fishery has even reached this year's order At the end of the year, there were even many nobles who named you Wald Fishery to provide the fish supply for the next year."

"However, such a rapid increase in business is somewhat beyond your expectations. The fishing boat of your Wald Fishery...ah, the Siren Queen has just undergone some repairs, and the condition has not been adjusted to the best. And you don’t have enough ships, so you can’t fulfill so many orders at all. The only solution is to raise a large amount of funds for investment. Remember, it’s an 'investment', and wait until the end of the year to make money Pay back the money in one breath."



Chapter 66 Triangular Contract

"But because you are rushing back now, you haven't raised a lot of money in the capital at all. In order to be able to eat so many orders, you decided to borrow money from these members of the Holy See and the association as a last resort. And Promise them that a 15% return on investment will be given as compensation after one year."

"What—?! 15%—?!"

Viscount Rich almost vomited blood in one breath, the amount was too high, and he couldn't hold it anymore——

"President Ariel, do you know the concept of 15% annual revenue growth? Now that we are in constant friction with the Hunting Seat Empire, I am afraid that only the military industry business guilds can guarantee that they can have a 15% annual growth rate." Revenue, you actually tell me now, let me tell them to give 15% of the revenue after one year expires?! How do we have so much money?!"

Ariel was not polite at all, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will never joke about making money. 15% shouldn't be a problem for me. I just hope you can tell those people these things."

Seeing that Ariel was still calm and composed, Viscount Rich sat down on his seat a little uneasy, and said, "Well, you mean that I will go to the Holy See and the association and promise Their 15% rate of return, and then borrow money? How much do you want me to borrow? One hundred? Two hundred?"

Ariel continued to smile and said, "If it's possible, it doesn't matter if you can just borrow a thousand gold coins."

At the moment, Viscount Rich once again put on a helpless expression.He shook his head and said, "President Ariel, before this, I can easily agree to you no matter what, because I think you are very creative and thoughtful. But I absolutely disagree with this point. .”

He stretched out his finger and pointed at the gate, and said with a snort, "The two of them have only 20 people in total. How could it be possible for a team of 20 to carry a huge sum of one thousand gold with them? In my opinion, they Everyone can carry ten gold coins, which is considered a lot!"

Seeing that Rich is so nervous now, Ariel raised her hand, comforted her, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, listen to me. I didn't ask you to raise a thousand coins from them right away." gold."

When the viscount looked at him helplessly and seemed very puzzled, Ariel smiled and directly stated her method——

"It's like this, I don't want you to squeeze a thousand gold coins from those twenty people. I also know that they can't carry that much money with them. What I need you to do is very simple, that is Give them a deed and let them decide how much they want to lend you. It can be ten gold coins, fifty gold coins, or a hundred gold coins. Write down on the deed that they are willing to lend you the money, and then ask each of them to press their fingerprints on their commitment. Of course, I will help you draw up the content of the contract." "After you get this contract, you don't have to ask them how much they charge, but you have to Ask each of them for their home address, and ask them not to exaggerate their savings at will. For example, a magician, together with his house, carriage and other property, movable property and real estate can only be worth fifty gold coins. Said that I lent you five hundred gold coins at one go. If they don’t have five hundred gold coins by then, you can take their real estate, sell their wives and daughters as slaves, etc. Make it clear first, so that they don’t He drank too much and talked nonsense, writing about money that he couldn't afford at all."

Viscount Rich still had doubts on his face, but he still silently wrote down this operation.

Ariel went on to say: "Then, after you have raised a contract for the amount that a total of 15 of their two parties are willing to lend, if it exceeds [-] gold coins, you can lend it to me and I will accept it. If you think You can keep the amount exceeding [-] gold coins for yourself, but you have to find a way to pay the [-]% rate of return for the excess money. Another possibility is that you did not borrow enough [-] gold coins. In this case, I am afraid that Viscount Rich needs you to work harder to fill this vacancy."

"Then, you came to me with the IOU contract for the thousand gold coins. Of course, I don't need you to mortgage these contracts with me, but I need you to sign another contract with me."

"This contract will state where you raised a thousand gold coins from, and you have obtained the consent of those people to invest the thousand gold coins in accordance with the wishes of His Excellency Viscount Rich Wald. The risk is borne by those investors, and you are only in charge of the intermediary. And your decision is to invest in my mermaid song, with an investment amount of 20 gold coins. At the same time, I will confirm with you and return you when it expires [-]% return on investment."

At that moment, Viscount Rich's eyes popped out: "2... 2... 2... 20%?!"

Ariel smiled, nodded again and said, "Yes, I will give you 20% of the amount as your labor fee for signing this contract for me. However, please keep this secret from outsiders~~~"

Obviously, His Excellency the Viscount has given up thinking now, and only listened to what Ariel said——

"In this way, after I get the contract with you, you don't really need to give me money. I will default that the contract between us is worth a thousand gold coins."

"Next, I will use the contract with you as a certificate to go to nearby cities to raise more funds. You have given me a guarantee of credibility. Don't worry, I will definitely not raise funds next time. I will give a rate of return as high as 15%, maybe only 14, 13, or even less than 10.”

"After such an operation, you don't need to really pay, and I can get the investment I want. For both of us, it is simply a way to get the best of both worlds."

"After the end of the year, I will return you 1200 gold coins according to the contract between us, and you can return 1200 of the 1150 gold coins to the association and the Holy See to fulfill the contract. That's it, everything is happy. How is it? Do you understand?"

Viscount Rich frowned, as if he was listening to some kind of difficult math problem, his eyes narrowed into a line.After hesitating for a moment, he quickly raised his hand and slapped himself, then continued to lie on the table and think carefully.

After a long time, he finally came back to his senses slowly, raised his head, and looked at Ariel in front of him with an almost incredulous look: "You mean... we sign a triangular contract? In other words... ...You mean that through my relationship, you have signed an investment contract with those paladins, priests, and magicians? Let them come...to invest in your guild?"

Ariel clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It should be called an indirect contract. In this case, the one who signed the contract with them is the future lord of Pelican City, and the one who signed the contract with me is also the future lord of Pelican City. If the business is successful, it will definitely be a matter of great prestige to you, Viscount Rich! I really don’t see any inappropriateness in it. Ah, of course, if you feel that the operation process is a bit too much If it’s complicated, I can write you a memo or a cheat sheet, and you just need to follow the above steps step by step.”

Although Viscount Rich still didn't understand much, he finally nodded and expressed his approval to Ariel: "Although... I may still not understand why you have to do such a complicated thing... But you said something just now I understand, both of you are equivalent to signing a contract with me, the lord, and if the two contracts are completed in one go, my lord's reputation will also increase! Okay, I'll listen to you, anyway, it's right to do so Is it right? If there is nothing wrong with this, then I will do it!"

Ariel clapped her hands and said with a smile: "I knew that His Excellency, Viscount Rich, would be able to understand the essence of making money. Also, if Viscount Rich thinks my business is profitable, so you want to If you want to invest some money in me, then I don't mind at all. It's just that these may not be 20%, but return to 15%. "

Viscount Rich now has an expression of admiration on his face.It can be seen that he has never thought that such a thing as the economy can be played in this way?After thinking about the logical circuit in it, Viscount Rich nodded and sighed——

"President Ariel, when you come here, it can be said that you deliberately want to bind all these people to you. But I heard some rumors that the association and the Holy See don't seem to be very fond of you. Are you satisfied? Now you are instead tying them to your element car and taking them to make money together... Is this kind of thing really appropriate?" Ariel smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this, my consistent The purpose is to help each other when we are in trouble, and to make money together when we have money. Look, have I violated this purpose in the past three years?"

Viscount Rich nodded, expressing his approval.After smiling, he continued to ask the last question——

"However... President Ariel, although what you just said does have a lot of room for manipulation, but I want to ask... if, I mean if."

"If people from the association and the Holy See have maintained their character well and don't want to borrow money...then what should we do?"

Regarding this question, Ariel smiled slightly.

Afterwards, she said something that left the viscount completely dumbfounded.

After listening to this set of methods, Viscount Rich looked at Ariel with suspicious eyes, wondering whether he should admire this woman's tricks now?Or are you admiring her bold and reckless behavior?

In any case, this plan should be feasible.

Chapter 67 Charm Magic

The next morning, Unicorn Bar.

After the members of the association and the Holy See got a little familiar with Pelican City, they knew that this bar was basically the place where they had breakfast every day.

In this way, he took good care of the business of the small spirits boss.But judging from the expression on the boss's face, he doesn't seem to like to earn this breakfast money very much.

"Have you decided where to live?"

Little Liquor put a fried egg on Eddie's table, and said slowly——

"With a house, you can also cook your own breakfast. There is no need to come to my place to eat every time, wasting money."

Eddie smiled, but remained silent.George at the table next to him laughed loudly and said, "Boss! Don't worry, we have plenty of money! Our Holy See is not like those magicians who pick and choose, who only eat a fried egg for breakfast! And you The prices here are really not expensive, we can afford it!"

This paladin was drinking there early in the morning.

However, after observing the small spirits for a period of time, it can be seen that this person's drinking capacity is not bad, so there is no need to worry that he will start drinking crazy after drinking two glasses.

Eddie left George over there and the paladin and priest sitting at the big long table.Afterwards, he also turned his head to look at the magician at his table.

At this time, a magician couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly took out his wand from his arms.But before he could start casting the spell, Eddie on the side had already stopped him first.

"We came here to complete our work. If we quarrel with people from the Holy See here, it will only make our goal, that woman, get what we want."

After Eddie's reminder, these magicians finally calmed down, snorted, and continued to eat breakfast.

Eddie exhaled and continued: "Our work this time, the preliminary work is basically monitoring, and then report the situation here to the association in detail. What to do next will have to wait for the elders Make a decision."

"But before that, I also had some ideas, mainly about how we can better monitor Song of the Mermaid in the future."

After a short pause, Eddie continued——

"Everyone here may not know the Song of the Mermaid very well, especially their guild leader. But I believe everyone also understands that it is such an ordinary-looking guild that defeated the blue guild in the guild championship battle. The Seyuanfang guild and the Hand of Heaven guild won the championship trophy in one fell swoop."

"Of course I don't think that this guild, which can't even fill the bench seats, really has the strength to overpower Lan Yuanfang and Heaven's Hands, but we have also seen the results. This guild is losing troops and generals. In the final battle, even without the full lineup, he was able to defeat Hand of Heaven."

"What's the reason? Let me tell you what I understand. It's that woman... the maid who has become the second prince's mistress and is a member of the noble class."

At this point, Eddie exhaled again, adjusted his mentality a little, and continued to say——

"Although this maid keeps saying that she doesn't have any magical affinity, nor does she have any fighting ability."

"I don't know if she really has no fighting ability, but if it is said that she really doesn't have any magical affinity at all, I will never believe it."

"Just like the legendary mermaid would use singing to make people lose their minds, this woman seems to have a very weird magic, or sorcery."

"She can make us unconsciously accept her manipulation by talking to us, and work hard according to what she wants us to do. The most frightening thing is that those who were bewitched before really thought they were relying on themselves will to do so!"

"Now, do you understand? This woman knows a kind of charm magic that has not been recorded in the magic book so far. She can use this kind of magic as a male before, so this kind of magic is definitely not because of gender. , but as long as it is an individual, it is possible to be hit by this magic."

The author said: I found a great reading website: Lanwen.com Address: LANWENS.COM

Seeing that Eddie's words became more and more serious, the magicians around couldn't help but feel a little terrified.One of the magicians couldn't help it, and asked, "A kind of charm magic that has never been recorded? This slave has no magic affinity at all when using this magic? Captain... you ...Don't scare us! Is there... is there any way to prevent it?"

Eddie's eyes kept scanning the faces of his team members one by one, and finally nodded seriously, and said: "Of course this kind of charm magic is very scary, but it's not too difficult to protect it. You just need to do it One point, and her magic will have no effect on us."

Other magicians: "Which point?"

Eddie swore frankly and said: "As long as we don't listen to her, whatever she says will be regarded as farting. This slave seems to be secretly performing magic by letting the other party listen to her. So as long as We try not to listen to her, then we can absolutely guarantee our own safety."

Hearing that the method is so simple, these magicians also let out a sigh of relief.

However, Eddie did not show any signs of relaxing. He turned his head, glanced at the Holy See and others who were talking loudly over there, and continued to say——

"However, it is not enough for us to do this."

"This slave claims to have graduated from the old vine tree. I don't care if she is a real student of the old vine tree, but since she is now the second prince's mistress, she must know that the relationship between us and the Holy See is not very harmonious. .”

"That's why we have to be careful of her trying to provoke a relationship between us and the Holy See. Especially, we must be careful that those people from the Holy See are finally captured by her charm magic, lose their minds in the end, and cause trouble for us in turn."

"In this way, it would be better if the Holy See and the association sent people to supervise the Song of the Mermaid instead."

The rest of the magicians nodded and said: "Understood, we have to be careful of that maid who fights and pulls, and finally achieves the goal of getting rid of monitoring by dividing the relationship between us and the Holy See!"

Another magician also glanced at the members of the Holy See over there, frowned and said: "But Captain Eddie, even if we know about this, do you want us to make friends with those people in the Holy See? ?They received more funding than our association last year, and now they want us to get along with them, it feels like we have thrown in the towel.”

Eddie also frowned, and said: "Well... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince decided to allocate funds based on the number of people. The Holy See can charge ordinary soldiers to be trained as paladins, plus priests with affinity for light. Our Magic Association can only charge People with magical affinity joined, so the number is really not enough... Well, so I am here to tell you that I also hope that everyone can brainstorm and see if there is any way to better contact those guys, so as not to be really caught in the future. That slave girl from Mermaid Song used it."

At that moment, everyone in the association began to think while eating.

But at this moment, the door of the Unicorn Bar was opened with a bang.

"Welcome light...ah, hello, Your Excellency Viscount."

Xiao Liquor was wiping the glass in his hand. When he saw the person coming in, he put down the glass and bowed to salute.
