Chapter 448: An Honest Man's Calculation
After a few lessons in the Eternal Night, Sir Copperfield understood why the other party was so guarded.
The knowledge imparted here is too high-end, not only the professional skills of the Eternal Night Commander, but also some practical things, which are also a systematic summary for first-time listeners.
Among the classes that he is qualified to enter as an auditor, he is naturally most interested in the business of the School of Political Science and Law, where he hears a series of new terms, such as production cost, gross profit, net profit, transportation cost, and so on.
His years in business are neither long nor short, and he has almost touched the doorway that should be touched, so he has a deeper feeling for what is taught in business.
He understands a lot of the truths told in it, and they also follow traditional experience to do so, but many things, they only know that this will produce this result, but they don't know why it will produce such a result, let alone use special words to characterize them.
With this kind of technical words, Sir Copperfield has a sudden sense of realization, and it is not how they should be substituted into the whole business operation model?
Although these things will not immediately turn a person into a savvy businessman and make a lot of money from it, compared to the stumbling and fumbling at the beginning, people who know how they work will obviously get started much faster than those who don't know anything at all.
To make a most ready-made analogy, many apprentices need to follow the teacher to learn for three or five years, before it is possible to be independent, this is still a smarter mind, some stupid, with ten years or eight years is not uncommon, after going out to work in a hurry for two or three years, not being tossed to death before standing up, dead more, less dry.
When they go out to work alone, although they face the same dilemma as ordinary apprentices, they have learned how to stop losses and how to minimize their losses in the academy.
The three months of life in the Academy City of the Eternal Night Army benefited Copperfield a lot, and he had a clearer understanding of the road ahead.
Compared to the Warlock Alliance, the Eternal Night Leader is the real thick thigh, if you can take the opportunity to hold it firmly, you can't let go of death.
"If our cooperation with the Warlock Alliance is successful, the credit of the Sir in it cannot be ignored, in terms of the price of goods, even as a lord, I have no way to promise anything, but there is one thing to guarantee, in the future, our goods can be given priority to the Sir to choose. Sean promised Sir Copperfield.
"This is enough, this is enough. Sir Copperfield said again and again, grinning to the back of his head, and Sean, though he did not make a concession, promised a right of first refusal.
Don't underestimate this right of first refusal, it's quite valuable.
As long as Sir Copperfield has enough funds, he can directly take the goods from the Eternal Night Army Leader and monopolize the right to sell a certain product, and the sales price will not be his own decision at that time.
Monopoly is also a new term he learned in business.
Of course, this is a very short-sighted approach, if he goes too far and affects the business of the Eternal Night Commander, it will be a matter of minutes for the other party to take back this right.
"Reciprocity, Sir in the future, if he can pay more attention to the goods needed in our territory, the trade will last longer. Sean said with a smile.
"It's nature. Sir Copperfield smiled.
"There's one thing I need to ask Sir for. Sean saw that the foreshadowing was almost over, and made his own small request.
"Your Excellency, please do whatever I can, and I will not refuse. Sir Copperfield patted his chest.
"From Brother Port to the top of the firmament, it is too far away, and if you rely on traditional ways to transmit information, it is too backward, so I have the intention to establish a flying eagle communication system that connects the two places, this side of the Despair Swamp is easy to say, and the Flower Language Plateau is on the other side, we are not familiar with each other, and we need someone to help find a few manors, build an eagle's nest and information transmission points, I wonder if I can entrust this important task to Lord Sir Sir?" Sean said bluntly.
"Eagle Messenger System?" Sir Copperfield's eyes lit up, he was no stranger to this, he knew the convenience of it, and he had been wondering if he could get a few.
It's just that this thing has a safe transmission distance, if you want to transmit from the Huayu Plateau to this side, you need to build at least four or five transfer eagle nests, across the entire Huayu Plateau, all the way to the top of the firmament, and the number of transfer eagle nests needs more, at least a dozen, beyond his load range.
"Sir doesn't need to worry about the personnel and the establishment of the Eagle's Nest, the only thing Sir needs to do is to take our people around the trade route, involving all the land purchases, help run from it, and let the personnel we send take care of the rest. Sean threw out his killer idea, "If this Flying Eagle Transmission System can be established, I will authorize the third level of Jazz to use it for a fee, and it is enough to transmit some commercial information." ”
"No problem. Sir Copperfield's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest in reassurance.
This kind of good thing sent to the door must not be let go, you must know that now the businessman who is leading the Eternal Night Army in the Huayu Plateau, there are not 10,000 but 8,000, he doesn't do it, but more people do it.
If this matter can fall on his head, it will still be stained with the light of the Warlock Alliance.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. Sean said with a smile, and he finalized it here
"It was a pleasure to work with. Sir Copperfield looked at him with a long look, "If there is nothing to do, I will go out and wait." ”
"Hmm!" Sean nodded, not meaning to say more.
The current identity of the two is a bit too different, it is difficult to find more common topics, and he can't just open Chrysostom, even if the Eternal Night Army Leader is rich, he won't give outsiders money to spend casually.
They come with money quickly, and they spend it quickly, like a gold-swallowing monster like Academy City, there are many leaders in the Eternal Night Army, and they are the kind that continue to invest, and they can save a point.
After Sir Copperfield, an outsider, left, Herbert and McGee, who had been following Sean as a bodyguard, couldn't help but laugh quietly, while Tagore and Erikson returned to the Swamp of Despair first because of military affairs.
In fact, in addition to the three generals who were dispatched to greet the two scholars at the beginning, after Herbert received the order to return from Valesta, they entered the rotation, always keeping the two champion knights by Sean's side and accompanying the two scholars.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
The two top combat forces are in the core area of their territory, and they must be carefully guarded against, not only to prevent them from harming Sean, but also to prevent them from harming the cadets of the Academy City, which is the future of the Eternal Night Military Leader.
On the fingers, the top-level combat power of the Eternal Night Army Leader is also a lot, but it is used in more places, and many times it is still overstretched, and it must be transferred from east to west.
After all, the crocodile people are still short of fire, and great elders like Nitya and Stephani have no way to use them with confidence in some things, at least Sean will not easily put his life in their hands to protect it at present.
They were now well aware of Sean's importance to the Eternal Night Commander, and what a fatal blow it would have to the Eternal Night Commander if he were eliminated.
People are unpredictable, who knows what they still think about the original life of the crocodile?
Before the interests of both sides were completely tied together, Sean was still a little cautious when using them, just as he did with Ben Hebrew.
McGee the Skullcrusher gave Sean a thumbs up and said, "Lord Lord, I admire you more and more now, I have calculated that I can turn the speaker of the house into a teacher of our academy, this kind of emotional means is too slippery and shameless, but I like it, haha...... When the time comes, find a way to bring the chief elder of the Witches' Secret Society, the Pope of the Holy Aether Holy See, all of them to be abducted, haha......"
Obviously, the two spontaneous actions of the students just now were mistaken by McGee for a means for Sean to deal with Speaker Abner.
"I said it was a spontaneous act of the students, and it had nothing to do with me, would you believe it?" Sean laughed and cried.
"Believe, why not? You are a lord, and we will believe whatever you say. McGee said that he believed it, but the expression on his face was clear, believing that you are the ghost.
Sean's calculating image has been deeply rooted in their hearts, and this situation that looks like a trick is involuntarily associated with even a simple person like McGee the Skull-Crusher.
Similar things are difficult to argue, and there are so many false rumors that even Sean can't help but wonder if he has done so many terrible things in his sleepwalking.
"This success is not only because we have enough cards in our hands, but also because Speaker Abner's temperament is pure enough, he is the leader who is the least like a leader I have ever seen, as he himself said, he is more suitable to be a teacher than the Speaker. "Sean didn't feel any complacent because of Speaker Abner's situation.
It is difficult to achieve this effect by changing forces and people, especially the Chief Elder of the Witches' Order and the Pope of Delt of the Holy Aether Holy See.
Those two are out-and-out interest creatures, and if you want to impress them, you have to take very different measures, and Sean has no plans to deal with them at the moment.
Sean didn't realize that he was also changing to a creature of interests, and when thinking about things, personal preferences were often secondary, and many times they were based on interests, and the interests of the military leaders most of the time overrode personal interests.
What is this not a creature of interest?
"Our three major academies are really that great?" said McGee, the skull-crusher, as she laughed, asking her biggest doubt.
Because of being in the game, plus the perspective is different.
McGee doesn't have much of a feeling for his three colleges, isn't it just a little bigger and a little more numerous?
Which of the Eternal Night Commanders is not reading and reading now?
The soldiers in his army now have three cultural classes a week!
Although every time, those big and rough people have a splitting headache like McGee the original skullbreaker, and an hour of cultural class is more difficult than ten hours of physical training.
But after so many years of perseverance, I have long been accustomed to it and natural, what is there to be strange.
"Everything needs to be compared, and when you go to the top of the firmament, or take a look around the other military leaders, you'll know why they're so surprised. Sean smiled.
Not only the generals in their own territory, but even those ordinary people have no idea what their current life and some things they are accustomed to, what a great thing it is to put it outside the mountain, and everything must be compared to hurt.
"When you have the kung fu, you really have to go out and have a look. McGee the Skullcrusher was moved.
Seriously calculated, the farthest in his life was to the Desperate Swamp Brothers Harbor, and he really hadn't walked out of the mountains properly.
"Cheng, next time I go to Valesta and call you along. Sean suggested.
"When the time comes, it will be done. McGee the Skullcrusher sighed, "You think others are as idle as you!"
Being in a high position also means that you can't help yourself.
These high-level leaders of the Eternal Night Army now understand why Sean engaged in the separation of powers in the first place, and at the same time frantically threw some powers down, and they were still beautiful one by one at the beginning, thinking that they were in power.
It's been a long time, and I'm slowly pondering a taste, they are not busy all year round, but Sean is idle every day, jumping around, and the power in his hands has not shrunk at all, he doesn't hold a soldier or a power now, but if he stomps his feet, the entire Eternal Night Army leader can't tremble.
In response to what Sean said at the beginning, those in power do not necessarily do everything themselves, as long as they grasp the key points of the matter, they can easily control the overall situation.
"It's harmless to be lazy occasionally, and I'll give you a few days of annual leave when the time comes, and I still have this privilege. Sean turned a deaf ear to McGee's complaints, and had no intention of interfering with his way of doing things.
This kind of thing is not taught.
The method is clearly there, and some people still hold on to that bit of power and refuse to let go, what can be done?
They have all formed their own set of ways of doing things, and they interfere without authorization, and the negative effects far outweigh the positive effects.
Then again, he's the one who likes to do that, and he's not so idle now.
A few people farted and waited for the results of the negotiation between the two high-level Warlock Alliances.
On the ship, the smell of gunpowder between Speaker Abner and Antoine was not as strong as before, and Antoine, a parliamentary scholar who looked like a knight more than a scholar, had a bit of acting in front of Sean before.
They walked around the boat to make sure that no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.
The Antoine Council Scholar lowered his voice and said, "The Speaker is so optimistic about the other party, and he is putting such a big bet on them? If the two sides are too tightly bound, once there is a problem with the development of the Eternal Night Commander, it will bring a series of effects to us, which is inconsistent with the neutral style of our Warlock Alliance that has been insisting on neutrality over the years." ”
Speaker Abner did not directly answer the question of the Antoine Council scholars, but pointed to the students on the shore and asked, "Aren't they enough?"
This rebuttal alone left Antoine speechless, for he knew very well what kind of powerful energy these scholars would burst out when they entered the workplace.
Knowledge is like a lever that allows a person to do things far beyond their own capabilities, hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousandfolds.
And with such a lever, the Eternal Night Army Leader will soon have tens of thousands.
"If they weren't enough, what about a dozen more batches?" Speaker Abner's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said earnestly, "Of course I know the risks of getting too close to a force, but high risk also has high rewards, our Warlock Alliance has adhered to the current situation for hundreds of years, and it's time to make a change."
Who is saying that we need to change the way we did things in the past?
We have neither declared allegiance to the Eternal Night Army Lord, nor have we recalled the bachelors and scholars in other realms, we are just preparing to jointly run a school, and we have already won the opportunity for other lords to send their own people to enroll, we have already done what we can do, and how much benefit they can get from it depends on their own ability.
And you have also seen the situation of the Academy City with your own eyes, and you should know the potential they have, even if they don't have our joining, they will study a path in their own way, it's just a matter of time, our joining is just the icing on the cake, making this process easier, time is just a premise.
I really can't think of any harm this will do to us, on the contrary, once it succeeds, our Warlock Alliance will take advantage of the situation to reach an unprecedented level. ”
Speaker Abner's face flashed with the cunning of an honest man: "Just now the young lord reminded me that since we can jointly run a school with them, we can also jointly run a school with other lords, and when the time comes, send someone to send this proposal to all the archdukes, whether they are willing to cooperate or not, but it is their business." ”
Abner can sit in the position of Speaker, obviously he can't be as pure as a little white flower, and he has his own crooked intestines in his belly.
"Your Excellency the Speaker has your own ideas, but I thought that Your Excellency had completely lost your mind and lost the ability to think, and was willing to be a teacher! Antoine was a little embarrassed, he had just been angry at Abner.
"If I am completely supportive, it will be difficult for me to act according to the temper of a scholar, and there will be no way to win the best favor of the young lord. Speaker Abner sighed, "It is not unreasonable for the scholars to be angry at me, because what I said before was completely inspired by my feelings, and I was speaking my true thoughts." ”
"Then what should we do next? Really hold the highest meeting of the alliance in the other party's territory?" Antoine did not continue to say anything, but Wen Qing, who was the president of his own council, had not completely recovered.
"Why not? It's the people, not the land, who really make the decision, and everyone else needs to come out and see what's changed outside, if it weren't for the fact that the Eternal Night Army Leader had a place to get us, and took the initiative to attract us, we have been like before, on the top of the firmament, and when the whole world is a scholar, we are still arrogant, that is a big joke. Speaker Abner smiled and asked, "Could it be that the scholars are worried that the Eternal Night Army Leader has a bad idea and wants to take the opportunity to wipe us out?"
