Chapter 693: Awakening in the World
Even now, Gavin’s total working capital is only five million - this refers to cash only, fixed assets and unsold goods do not count, such as Talking about the regeneration ring series, Gavin has really come up with it now What is for sale is only the quick healing series. The more advanced ones are either digested internally or given away as gifts. The rest are still in my hands. This thing will not depreciate. Sometimes it is more expensive than money. When can I wait? , the working capital turnover cannot be opened, and they will not be considered for disposal until the end.
The speed at which Gavin is making money now is indeed different from before. He still has no time to carefully count the properties he owns and how much money he can make for himself every day. Anyway, it is a lot, and he is making money every day. Gold is no exaggeration.
But he couldn't stop spending money faster.
For Ms. Strategy’s first voter, Catherine, he donated two to three million in material donations as soon as he changed hands.
The starting capital and supplies for the establishment of the Conqueror's caravan were two million.
Figure swamp farming and Stark shrub planting and cultivation, the starting capital is one million, the black scale lizard people do not need to spend money, but the acquisition and hoarding of Stark shrubs in the Kingdom of Cormyr is It requires a lot of money.
Over in the King's Forest, the bill for the wild beast disaster caused by him has not yet been released. Preliminary estimates are that the bill will not be in the millions. However, Gavin is not prepared to pay cash directly for compensation; Deductions can be made in the form of materials or assistance in reconstruction.
This will not only reduce the pressure on working capital, but also take the opportunity to push out your infrastructure team, especially the kobold construction team. In the case of disaster relief, the acceptance ability of those humans will be greatly improved. As a result, he infiltrated into the Kingdom of Cormyr subtly and fully turned the unfavorable situation into an advantage.
King Asan has no objections to this plan, because he knows that multi-racial cooperation is a major feature of Gavin's power, what sets him apart from others, and is the core of his rapid development. One of the reasons is that if you want to use him, you have to adapt to this.
In fact, the biggest source of liquidity is Gavin's war material sales to the Kingdom of Cormyr. Before the war breaks out completely, there is no way to get this part of the funds back. The Kingdom of Cormyr does not provide financial support. Free ocean shipping only.
This is another reason why Gavin throws out a second plan to these Nimir villages. Rather than directly throwing money at people, he hopes that these villagers will take a longer-term view and take less of the current benefits. , in exchange for greater benefits in the future.
From the current point of view, this proposal is not generally forward-looking. The matter of establishing a joint venture and receiving dividends is far beyond the cognitive scope of these villagers. This kind of thing they themselves cannot understand, and they are forced to do so. Implementing it in a short period of time will be thankless, and will be considered a liar by them, which is not conducive to the establishment of a glass water lantern factory.
“Wait, don’t make a decision in a hurry. Compared to taking one million gold lions directly, I think Lord Gavin’s second plan is more worthy of consideration, and we can get greater benefits from it. Some." The old mage Haranson finally ended his long thinking and shouted to stop the villagers in Nimir.
Although he is only an intermediate mage who has not yet reached the extraordinary level, he has seen many people and things in the places he has traveled. Although the business operation model proposed by Gavin is novel, it is not too It was difficult to figure out, and the pros and cons of the two options were quickly compared.
"Dad, why are you so crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Dad Harlanson, finally someone is willing to pay a high price to buy our ditch, so don't make a mess here. "
"Mr. Harlanson, just rest. Our whole village will never forget your kindness. Please don't act blindly again. You have an idea. This is your greatest contribution to our village."
"Dad is the most knowledgeable person among us, and he has never harmed us... At most, it was an unintentional mistake, so we might as well listen. Let’s hear what he thinks differently.”
“It’s better to listen, there won’t be much loss anyway.”
The villagers of Nimir Village present two completely different groups. One group has lost confidence in the old mage and is not willing to listen to his advice at all. The other group believes that he has worked hard even if he has no credit. Regarding the glowing canal, he Those who claim the greatest credit have a certain right to speak, and they have no right to deprive them of it.
The villagers of Nimir Village gathered here now are no longer the dozens of young and strong people at the beginning. Most of the people in the village have gathered here and surrounded the place three times inside and three times outside. , even the person in charge of speaking has already been replaced by the most respected person in the village.
This is the most typical village community. There is no administrative organization. It is family-style joint autonomy. The more powerful family patriarchs and elders discuss matters. Haranson is also one of them, but he is a little bit Been marginalized.
"Two adults, can you give us some time? Let us discuss among ourselves and unify our opinions?" Haranson did not rush to refute, but turned to Gavin and Ms. Gowther and asked.
"Okay, I'll give you one night. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Gavin waved his hand and put away the three pretentious treasure boxes, then dragged Gowther's mother and activated the teleportation technique, and disappeared instantly. without a trace.
The use of this spell completely confirmed his identity as an extraordinary spellcaster.
"Confused, Dad Harlanson, you are so confused, how can you let him go? We finally found a buyer for our aqueduct. If they regret it, what if they don't come tomorrow? We The ditch will be worthless."
"Dad, you have screwed us up again this time."
< br>"Everyone has already left. There is no use in regretting. Let's calm down together and listen to what dad wants to say. Again, dad is a native of the village and will definitely not harm us. ”
“If we can’t give a reasonable reason, today’s matter will not be over. ”
Many villagers in Nimir Village stamped their feet angrily, as if they had let go of a golden mountain.
"You are completely blinded by money and do not consider the authenticity of this matter at all. What if they are liars?" Old Mage Haranson asked with a serious expression.
"Liar? A liar who is an extraordinary spell caster?"
"Who would use one million gold lions to deceive others? If there is such a good thing, even if I am deceived, I will be willing to do so. . ”
“We are already so poor and have nothing but this luminous ditch. What else is there to be afraid of? He can’t move the luminous ditch.”
The villagers of Nimir Village looked disapproving. They are typically barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Only those with money are likely to be cheated. Now they don't even have the chance to be cheated. They are still poor.
“Just because he is an extraordinary mage, we must be more careful. These powerful mage’s definition of wealth is different from ours. Sometimes what they need is even beyond your knowledge. It’s also something we can’t afford, such as souls. Therefore, our most important thing now is to determine their identity and understand who they are. Who are we making a deal with? Don’t even know who we are making a deal with the devil. Jason, ride my flying broom to Susar and find out the identities of these two people. The sooner the better.” The old mage's profound knowledge is not directly proportional to his professional level. His professional level is limited by his own talent, but his knowledge is not limited and is never-ending.
"What Dad said makes sense. In this world, except for the devil, who would give money to people for nothing? Or give a million gold lions. There must be something you want. We were really a little bit taken aback just now. Money goes to my head.”
“It’s better for dad to think about it. If the other party really comes for our luminous canal, he will definitely come again tomorrow. If he doesn't come, it means he has other agendas."
"Susar City is so big, Jie. Where can Sen go to find out information about two people?”
As soon as the word "devil" came out, a basin of cold water was poured over the heads of the hot-headed villagers of Nimir Village. It was not a trivial matter that involved them. At that time, they would be killed if they were killed, no matter how cautious they were. Yes, especially when the other party mentioned various contracts.
“A person who wants to take out one million golden lions without blinking an eye will definitely not be an unknown person, even in Susar City. He should be able to do it easily. If we can find out, if we can't find any information, it means there is something wrong with this person. Even if he can really spend one million, we can't sign these contracts easily." The reasons given by the old mage are impeccable, so that even if he can pay for it, we can't sign these contracts easily. The villagers of Nimir Village who lacked trust in him nodded involuntarily. Seeing that the villagers' recognition of him has increased significantly, Harlanson continued: "As for the two plans given by Lord Gavin, they both have pros and cons. I will analyze them in detail for you.
In terms of risks and short-term gains, drain the water directly It will definitely be more cost-effective to sell it. As long as we make sure that the other party is not pretending to be a devil, we can leave immediately after getting the money, even the village.
But from now on, the glass water will be gone. Whether the lamp sells well or not has nothing to do with us
If the glass water lamp doesn't make money, that's it. If it makes hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions, are you sure you won't regret it?
Don't rush to refute, do you think that an extraordinary spellcaster who can produce one million golden lions is a fool who can't even compare to you? Will you make a loss-making transaction?
Definitely not, he will only want to use this one million to give birth to more one million.
If Lord Gavin really has an extraordinary origin, it means that our luminous water channel is really valuable, and the value it can create is not just this million, but higher.
We should seize this opportunity and join in. When he eats meat, we follow him and take a sip of soup. We believe that even the leftovers will be worth more than one million.
It is very possible that one day we don’t need to work and can just sit at home and count money. In the process, all we have to pay is a luminous channel.
Don’t think about that one million anymore. It’s just a number in the other person’s mouth. It hasn’t been in our hands yet, and it doesn’t count as money. It just represents a luminous water channel. "
The words of the old mage Haranson can be called sober in the world.
Although he very much wants to promote the glass water lamp and create more wealth for the villagers of Nimir Village, But he was not easily dazzled by Gavin's lavish spending. Instead, he felt that
There is no such thing as a good thing falling into the sky. If such a good thing hits you, the first thing you should consider is whether it is falling into a sinkhole. Waiting for you to jump in, and then lead you into eternal hell.
"Dad Haralson, this analysis is completely reasonable. We must consider this matter carefully. Whether it is to seek greater wealth or for our lives, it is not terrible to be poor, but we are afraid that we will continue to be poor. The chance is gone.”
"If the other party really has such a strong business ability, it is really better to put money in the hands of this adult to make money. After all, most of us have no business acumen. A ditch can make us miserable, even if Is it really divided into thousands or even tens of thousands of golden lions? In our hands, it won’t take long.”
“It’s true that I have been given so many golden lions. I really don’t know what to do!”
"Stupid, it is most unsafe to put money in other people's hands. You have to keep it yourself." In my own hands, I would rather let it rust under my bedside than let others take my money and maybe lose it all when I turn around."
"What we know about this gentleman is really good. It’s too limited and I really can’t give it much trust.”
"It's too early for you to worry. The whole thing is limited to verbal promises. It's better to wait until Jason comes back from Susal and that adult can come to our place on time for the appointment tomorrow. We will discuss other things. What we have to do now All I have to do is go home and sleep."
"Ha... with this dream of a million gold lions, will you be able to sleep tonight?"
"Who said? I can't sleep, maybe I can sleep It smells even better.”
“Let’s go, let’s go. We’ll meet here again tomorrow morning before the sun rises. Then we’ll know the truth.”
Nimir. Most of the villagers dispersed one after another, and some of them didn't feel sleepy at all. They started talking directly in front of Haranson's tower. Some of the people who left came back soon, and even brought some Simple bedroll or bench.
There is no other way. There are really not many people who can have a big heart and fall asleep with a million gold lions. Most of them are suffering from insomnia and cannot fall asleep. It is better to chat with someone while waiting.
Not to mention the villagers of Nimir Village who suffered collective insomnia due to Gavin, let’s continue talking about Gavin and Ms. Gowther who were teleported away from here.
“Where is this?” Ms. Gowser just glanced at it and determined that they were not outside the city of Susar. Although there was also the shadow of a huge city not far away, because neither could be seen here. When you go to the Purple Dragon Palace, which is far higher than Susar City, you can't see the lights that stay up all night.
The city in the distance has long been dark and has fallen into a deep sleep. There are not many people like them running around in the middle of the night. That is to say, Gai Literary is bold and bold at night. Faerûn is ten times more sinister than it is during the day.
The pair of eyes that lit up after they completed the transmission were proof. However, this peeping lasted for less than three seconds before countless whimpering sounds came from the distance, and they all turned and ran away. It was like seeing a monster far more powerful than them.
Ms. Gowther knew her own affairs, and she definitely did not have this ability. It must be because of the young man next to her. These wild beasts sensed the danger in him and fled.
Every time she is with this young man, Ms. Gauser feels like she has returned to ten years ago, when she first entered the adventurous life, and the things she came into contact with were all new.
This young man, who is nearly half her age, is taking herself into a new world and embarking on a new adventurous life in a different way than before, but she cannot refuse, because This made her feel the vitality and excitement she had not seen for a long time, and she gained a lot of wealth and achievements.
“This is Arabay City.” Gavin replied, “I need to visit another collaborator here.”
“At this time? We’re afraid we won’t be able to enter the city, right? "Ms. Gowther took a look at the sleeping city. Even if Gavin had a unique identity, it was unlikely that he would open the city gate. And such a city must have a city defense lock that cannot be teleported in.
"The collaborators I want to meet are not in the city. They have their own castle and manor. Let's talk as we walk." Gavin used the flying technique for himself and Ms. Gowther, and said while flying forward, "I'm going to The glass water lamp business is handed over to a lady. I wonder what her intentions are? ”
“ Leave it to me?" Gao Se's mother couldn't help but smile. "That's a million-dollar deal, and I can't afford that much money."
"What I mean is to build a joint venture factory. The Nimir Village collective, my wife and I each hold a part of the shares. The water canal in Nimir Village , I will provide the funds, and the lady will only be responsible for management, operation and sales, and then we will distribute dividends according to the number of shares held,” Gavin patiently explained, “The initial investment is not as big as the lady imagined, there are twenty or thirty. That's great. I won't send kobolds to build the factory. You can go directly to Nimir Village. Hire people there to lay bricks on site using the bio-cement produced by Blast Crayfish. By the way, help me test the properties of this bio-cement.”
The hotel chain on the other side of the long road has already started. It has been proved that Ms. Gauser is very talented in business, and she is good at selling things.
For a novel product like glass water lamp, at the beginning, the key was not production, but opening up sales. If it could not be sold, no matter how many glass water lamps were produced, it would be in vain.
As long as the goods are easy to sell, even if there is no factory, the current appearance of Nimir Village can still be mass-produced. All you need to do is order suitable glass containers and bottle the water in the luminous aqueduct.
