Chapter 181 The investment is obtained, the Lord of Red Maple Ridge
After entering the door, an old woman sat on the chair behind the desk. Her silver-white hair was tied up with a hairpin. There were deep wrinkles on her forehead and at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing a Wearing gorgeous clothes and wearing an emerald ring on her ring finger, she looked both noble and majestic.
"Hello, Madam Theresa~"
Su Mo bowed slightly.
“Holy Light Mercenary Group, Su Mo.”
Madam Theresa looked at Su Mo, a strange color flashed in her pupils.
“Yes, I am Su Mo.” Su Mo nodded.
Mrs. Theresa picked up the information on the table and browsed it carefully again.
Anyone who wants to meet her must go through strict vetting and have a background report placed on her desk.
Su Mo’s background is very simple. He was born on a low-grade indigenous planet. He defeated the space expedition team in a survival game. Later, he suddenly appeared on Zatanvi, registered as a mercenary, and established the Holy Light Mercenary. group.
At present, there are only two people in the Holy Light Mercenary Group, he and the Monlite beside him, the beast Mundo.
The other person in the room, Mercedes, was the initiator of introducing Su Mo this time and has not yet joined the Holy Light Mercenary Group.
Compared with the long strings of introductory text from other teams, Su Mo’s information only had a dozen or so lines, which seemed a bit shabby.
Mrs. Theresa put down the information and said calmly:
"My time is precious, so I'll get straight to the point. Tell me, what do you want from me? Money, resources or connections. ?”
Su Mo said decisively: "I need a sum of funds."
"Funds?"
Mrs. Theresa gently stroked the emerald ring and said with interest: "I have plenty of money, but Not all newcomers can get my investment. There are only two people in your Holy Light Mercenary Group, and they are so weak. Why should I invest money in you?"
Su Mo said slowly. : "My next words may sound a little arrogant, but I still want to say that if my wife can invest me with a start-up capital, it will be returned tenfold within five years, and investing in me will be my wife's return in this life." There is no one project with the highest rate.”
His voice was calm, without any waves, but anyone could hear the strong confidence contained in it.
This boy is not simple~
Mercede’s lips slightly raised. To be able to say these words under Madam Teresa’s majestic aura, she would instantly defeat many newcomers in terms of courage.
He is indeed a man who targets the six major mercenary legions. It is getting more and more interesting.
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in Madam Theresa's eyes, whether it was sarcasm or appreciation.
"If I invest my money in you, what are you going to do next?" Teresa asked.
Su Mo thought for a while and said: "First spend money to rent a territory, then recruit talents and build a city. After the number of people reaches a certain size, you will start to take on tasks, improve the level of the mercenary group, expand your influence, and attract various forces to settle in." , collect rent taxes, strengthen the strength of the team, and form a virtuous cycle. "
The above is almost a summary of the development trajectory of the six armies, what Mercede told him.
However, Madam Theresa did not seem satisfied with this answer.
“If you want all forces to enter the territory, it must be attractive enough.”
“For example, the main business of the Burning Legion is to develop colonization. This business By the way, hundreds of slave institutions can be fattened, and very generous material rewards can be obtained.”
"The core business of the Purple Gold Legion is war mercenary. It can bring mercenary groups of large and small into contact with major civilizations to obtain funds, weapons and policy support."
"The Tiandao Legion mainly engages in energy Armed escort work, in this process, many people can get a share of the pie. "
"And you, what core competitiveness does your Holy Light Mercenary Group have that can form a core with you? A group of interests?"
Mrs. Theresa's voice was not loud, but it was deafening, making Su Mo fall into deep thought.
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, he really doesn't have enough attractions at the moment.
At most, in the process of completing tasks, it can help the people around you live longer and safer.
But this does not seem to have much effect on the development of the territory.
“Master, have you forgotten me?”
While Su Mo was silent, Pooh suddenly spoke up.
“As long as you have more exposure to high-end machinery, I can analyze their structure, material ratio, process flow and other details. With these, are you still afraid that you can’t mass produce?”
< br>
yes!
Su Mo's pupils were slightly dilated, as if he were waking up from a dream.
He previously only thought that Pooh himself could transform into various weapons, but he forgot that the essence of endless weapons is to analyze the various components of machinery and conduct simulations.
With various specific data such as drawings, materials, and energy sources, you can build a production line and carry out mass production.
From helmets, battle armor, laser guns, to star destroyer cannons, spaceships, and even motherships, they are all products that he can sell to the outside world in the future.
There is no need to say more about how profitable the weapons business is~
Seeing Su Mo’s hesitation, Mrs. Theresa smiled lightly and said:
“Young man, don’t worry, you can discuss this issue in the future. Go and think about it.”
Su Mo bowed slightly and said, “Thank you, Madam, for the suggestion.”
“Hmm~”
Madame Theresa nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Okay, the conversation ends here, I am willing to provide you with a start-up capital of 500,000 innars."
What!
Hearing this, Su Mo was overjoyed, while Mercedes on the side showed a strong look of shock.
500,000 Inar!
Mrs. Theresa was actually willing to provide Su Mo with a starting capital of 500,000 innars. This amount was so high that it was beyond his imagination.
According to his understanding, the four major mercenary legions only received an angel investment of 2 million innars from Madam Theresa.
But you must know that the four major mercenary legions at that time were already quite famous in the Chaotic Star Territory, with nearly ten thousand members, and their leaders were already natural disaster-level experts.
As for Su Mo, his Holy Light Mercenary Group only has two pitiful people, one elite level and one commander level, and they have never completed a single task. How could such an inconspicuous start-up team be able to Let Madam Theresa invest a full 500,000 yuan.
Mrs. Teresa is famous for her ruthless vision. Almost everyone she likes will achieve something in the end.
From the 500,000 inal, we can see how optimistic Madam is about Su Mo.
Unexpectedly, I still underestimated him far.
Mercedes made waves in his heart.
"Don't be anxious and happy yet, I won't give you all the 500,000 in one go."
Mrs. Theresa said lightly: "I will pay you 300,000 first, and as for the rest The 200,000 will depend on your subsequent performance. If your progress is not smooth, or even a major loss occurs, the 200,000 will not be given to you. "
"Understood!"
Su Mo accepted it calmly. The 300,000 yuan was far beyond his expectation. As for the next 200,000 yuan, he believed that he would be able to get it soon.
"Leave the account number and the money will be transferred to your account later." Madam Theresa pushed the paper and pen in front of Su Mo.
Su Mo wrote his bank account on the paper, and then bowed slightly:
"Madam, thank you for your trust in me."
Mrs. Theresa said with a slight smile. : "What I trust is my own vision."
Su Mo smiled and slowly exited the room along with Mercedes and Mondo.
Pa~
The door closed gently.
Mrs. Theresa picked up Su Mo's information again, her eyes flashing, seeming shocked and excited.
Her vicious eyes actually stem from her own superpowers.
When she uses her powers, she can judge a person's future from the halo that only she can see.
The brighter the halo, the further it will go in the future.
The halo around Su Mo can only be described as dazzling. Placed in front of him, the leaders of the six mercenary legions were nothing more than fireflies under the scorching sun.
Torissa couldn't imagine how high Su Mo could reach in the future. Perhaps the God King would be his destination.
If Su Mo wasn't currently too weak to keep his sky-high wealth, she would have invested half of her family fortune in it.
A mere amount of money can be exchanged for the closeness of a future god-king. This sale is enough to make any businessman rush to make it.
Butler Foggy, you really made a great contribution this time.
After calming down, Lisa Du said in a deep voice in front of no one:
“Let Colin come to see me!”
“It’s Madam!”
The shadow cast by the long table suddenly twisted, and a hoarse voice sounded out of thin air.
…………
“Oh, he’s back!”
Looking at the expressionless Su Mo who walked into the room, everyone in the living room couldn’t help but chuckle. Some people even have their emotions written on their faces.
If you fail, you fail. Why are you pretending to be calm?
"Captain, why don't you tell them about your gains and slap them in the face?"
Mercedes sent a message to Su Mo.
Su Mo responded: "Wealth does not reveal wealth, let them continue to misunderstand."
Seeing the content of the text message, Mercedes smiled slightly.
Be public when it’s time to be public, and be steady when it’s time to be steady.
He is indeed someone who can do great things.
Mercedes didn’t notice that he had unknowingly changed the title of Su Mo to captain.
"Everyone, today's meeting is over."
Butler Foji walked into the room, bowed slightly to everyone in the room, and politely said: "Please follow me, I will take you Leaving Tulsa Manor."
Siting in the car, the cool breeze hit his face, and Su Mo's mood was completely different from when he came.
"I didn't expect to receive an investment of 500,000 Inar all at once. Madam Theresa is truly worthy of her reputation."
The corner of Su Mo's mouth raised slightly.
No matter in terms of strength, influence or record, he cannot compare with other mercenary groups in the room.
However, none of those mercenary groups could catch the eye of Madam Theresa. On the contrary, his Holy Light mercenary group with only two members received a huge investment.
This shows that in Madam Theresa's view, his future potential is much higher than that of those mercenary groups.
Look, how could someone else become a famous investor? This old baby’s vision is amazing.
......"Old Mei, now I am qualified to rent a territory." Su Mo said with a smile.
“Of course!”
Mercedes controlled the intelligent optical brain with his mind and projected a spherical map of the entire system in the air.
"This is Zatanvi. There are eight continental land masses in total. Six of them are occupied by six major mercenary legions. They are in an absolute dominant position and do not interfere with each other. The remaining two land plates are relatively small in area and are a mixed bag of forces. The fight is also extremely fierce."
"Okay, let's choose one of these two sections first,"
Su Mo said decisively.
The six land blocks are already occupied by the six mercenary legions, so there is no need to force their way in.
Although the remaining two sections are fighting fiercely, they leave him more room to play and will not be restricted by the six legions.
"Then I suggest you choose this one, the Delong continent."
Mesaide explained: "Compared with the other continent of Asia, the resources of the Delong continent are more abundant, which is conducive to the purchase and construction of territory. All kinds of materials are needed.”
“Okay, then choose from here.”
Su Mo nodded decisively.
Seeing that Su Mo trusted him so much, Mercedes felt warm in his heart. Then he zoomed in on the map of Delong continent with two fingers. After clicking a button, the map was immediately divided into large and small red and blue. Irregular areas.
"Red is the owned area, while blue is the unowned area."
Su Mo carefully scanned the blue areas on the map. Some areas were large and some were small. The annual rent for the large areas was More than 100,000, while in small areas, it only requires 30,000-50,000 per year.
"Lao Mei, can all the territories on Zatanwei be rented but not bought?" Su Mo suddenly thought of this question.
“That’s right!”
Mercede nodded and said: “This is the Lion King’s rule. All land rights on Zatanvi Planet belong to his fifth adopted son, Bo. Bo Zatanwi, outsiders can only rent but not buy. Moreover, considering the actual situation of Zatanwi, renting is more profitable than selling it all at once.”
Looking at the dense red areas on the map and the rent figures on them, Su Mo couldn't help but feel deeply.
Bobo is much richer than he imagined. This is the real planet charterer~
In terms of wealth, Madam Teresa, the six mercenary legions, He's not even qualified to carry Bobo's shoes.
“But having said that~”
Su Mo rubbed his chin, “Actually, I feel that the rent is not particularly expensive. Why are there so many unclaimed territories?”
< br>
Not to mention large areas, some small areas only require a rent of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year. If you pay it for three consecutive years, it will only cost about 100,000 yuan. For a mercenary group of similar size, this should not be an unaffordable amount. .
Mercedes said sternly: "The reason is very simple. After renting a territory, there will be a steady stream of expenses in the future, such as building cities, opening up important roads, laying infrastructure, etc. These all cost a lot. The most important thing is that during the construction process, there will be other nearby forces coming to find trouble or sabotage. Once they cannot be deterred, all investments will be in vain, and they may even be married off to others. Clothing. This is the main reason why many mercenary groups would rather rent out a manor in a big city than expand their territory." "Does Bobo care about this?" Su Mo asked.
Mercede shook his head: "Your Excellency Bobo is only responsible for collecting rent, and the management of Zatanvi is very loose. It may not happen even once in five years. On this planet, the law of the jungle is the law of the jungle. The law of the jungle means that if you are weak, you deserve to be bullied. No one will make the decision for you."
"In the most prosperous and stable mercenary city and the territory of the six legions, this situation will be slightly better. Some, but in other places, you have to rely solely on yourself.”
"That's it~"
Su Mo narrowed his eyes. The rules of this environment are simple and bloody, but it is the most suitable stage for the strong.
“Come on, let’s see which territory is most suitable for us.”
Su Mo zoomed in on the map again and looked at them one by one. In the end, he and Mercedes unanimously fell in love with The same territory - Red Maple Ridge.
The Red Maple Ridge territory is medium in size, with a rent of 70,000 per year. It was named after a red maple forest in the area.
The left and right sides of Hongfeng Ridge are unowned land. When the economy becomes rich in the future, these two pieces of land can be taken into one's pocket.
In addition, Hongmaple Ridge has experienced the rule of several mercenary groups and still retains certain old sites and infrastructure, which can save a lot of construction costs.
Hongfengling is the most suitable choice in terms of future development and construction difficulty.
Of course, since it is an unclaimed land, it means that there are still problems in Hongmaple Ridge itself.
The upper and lower territories of Hong Maple Ridge belong to the Ghost Wolf Mercenary Group and the White Night Mercenary Group respectively.
After investigation, it was found that the Ghost Wolf Mercenary Group currently has 1,200 members, including 11 leaders and 130 elites. The rest are all extraordinary people below the elite level.
The White Night Mercenary Group currently has 1,400 members, including 18 leaders and 210 elite members. It is obviously much stronger than the Ghost Wolf Mercenary Group.
Nearly all the previous lords of Hongmaple Ridge fell under the attack of these two mercenary groups.
This is the biggest reason why Hongfeng Ridge still has no owner.
“That’s it.”
Su Mo made a decision.
Mercede reminded tactfully: "Captain, the two mercenary groups of Ghost Wolf and Bai Ye are not easy to deal with~"
Su Mo smiled faintly: "I know you, Lao Mei. Meaning, no matter which territory you choose, you will encounter the same problems. In the final analysis, it still depends on yourself.”
“Now, the Holy Light Mercenary Group is indeed not their opponent, and they will definitely suffer some in the early stage. It's a small trouble, but within a year, the status of hunter and prey will be reversed, and it will be time for me to cause trouble for them."
"The territories of these two mercenary groups are quite troublesome for me. For the sake of greed~”
Hearing this, Mercedes raised his eyebrows. He hadn't even moved into Red Maple Ridge yet, but he had already begun to make plans for his neighbors.
He is always confident in himself~
"If you really make up your mind, then go to the Government Affairs Hall to pay a deposit first."
Mercede reminded : "To prevent other mercenary groups from taking the lead in renting Red Maple Ridge."
The number of mercenary groups on Zatanvi is as high as hundreds of thousands, and there are only so many territories, so no one dares Guaranteed, will there be someone else who happens to be interested in Hong Maple Ridge at this moment?
"Well, you're right, hurry up and leave!"
Su Mo, Mercedes, and Mondo got on the aircraft and quickly rushed to the government affairs hall.
......
The Government Affairs Hall is the only institution established by Bobo Zatanvi in the Mercenary City, and its main responsibility is to lease territory.
There were not many people in the hall, only a few dozen, which was in sharp contrast to the bustling black building.
From a glance, the staff are all robots, which fits Bobo's temperament as a natural disaster-level mechanic.
Su Mo sat in front of a robot, with Mondo and Mercedes standing on both sides of him. Suddenly, a black soundproof shield rose up, confining all conversations to a small area.
"Hello, I am interested in Hongmaple Ridge and would like to pay a deposit first." Su Mo said to the robot.
The robot's compound eyes flashed red and replied in an electronic voice:
"Mr. Su Mo, according to the background display, you have the privilege of renting the territory. You can pay once a year and enjoy Half price discount, if you are interested, I can help you lock in Hong Maple Ridge directly. ”
What!
Hearing this, Merced’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
The rent is paid once a year and there is a half price discount.
He had never heard of anyone on Zatanvi who could enjoy such outrageous privileges.
What is Su Mo’s background?
He couldn't be the illegitimate son of some big shot in Lion King Ridge, right?
I’ll go, the conditions are so favorable!
Su Mo was stunned for a moment and immediately realized that this must be Bobo's special care for him, and he was very touched in his heart.
Buy yourself and Mundo back from Babata, remove the slave chip, and give such great support in the territory.
Bobo’s help to him was really great.
After calming down the turbulent mood in his heart, Su Mo said to the robot: "I will directly pay the rent for one year and rent Hongmaple Ridge."
Hongmaple Ridge is his best choice at the moment. As for the other unowned Even if the land is half price, there will be various problems that are not considered.
Therefore, without hesitation, he directly paid 35,000 innars and rented the right to use Hongmaple Ridge for one year.
"The payment has been received. Congratulations, you have become the new lord of Maple Ridge." The robot said.
“Thank you~”
Su Mo raised his lips slightly and looked at the more than 300,000 yuan left in his account, feeling very happy.
More than 300,000 Inar is enough for him to complete the early stage of territory construction, recruit talents, and put the Holy Light Mercenary Group on the right track.
Bobo, thank you~
The black soundproof cover was removed, and suddenly, a group of people in the hall, like sharks smelling blood, swarmed up and surrounded Su Mo.
"Sir, I am the manager of the Stane Consortium. Our consortium is committed to territory construction all year round. If you have any needs, you can contact me at any time."
"Sir, our Jiewei Security Company specializes in providing force protection for new lords, and the price is quite favorable."
"Sir, do you need slaves? We have all the warriors, beauties, and housekeepers here."
>"Okay, okay, thank you all. I will contact you if I need it."
Su Mo accepted the thick stack of business cards. After he inspects Hongmaple Ridge, he might really use these. A place for people.
Out of the door of the government affairs hall, Su Mo looked at Mercedes with a smile:
"Lao Mei, come with me to visit Red Maple Ridge?"
Mesaide smiled and said, "I'm more than happy to do so."
The Mercenary City has direct access to seven other continental plates. Of course, the ultra-long-distance teleportation array is quite expensive, at least 200 Innars per person per trip. Even so, there is an endless stream of people queuing up.
After arriving on the Delong continent, Su Mo chartered an aircraft and took Mercedes and Mondo straight to the Red Maple Ridge.
An hour later, the red maple forest appeared at our feet. The maple leaves were like fire, and the forest was dyed. It looked like an endless red carpet, which was refreshing and refreshing.
From now on, this forest and this territory will be mine!
Su Mo looked down at his feet and felt a surge of pride in his chest.
Hongmaple Ridge is the first personal territory that belongs to him in his life. He will use this as a starting point to develop and grow step by step, and gradually write his legend in the universe.
"Stop, captain, look at that!"
At this moment, Mercedes tugged off Su Mo's clothes, and then pointed in a certain direction on the ground.
Su Mo looked in the direction Mercedes pointed, and suddenly a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.
I saw dozens of people below with various machines, cutting down red maple trees. A large area has been cut down to bare ground. If you look down, you can see that there are many more areas like this. .
Obviously, this is not the first time they have committed a crime.
"Fly down, I want to see whose family they are from."
Su Mo's tone was so cold that the pilot's body trembled and he quickly fell down.
