Chapter 482: Iron Vault
?? Chapter 482: Iron Vault
"Bell—"
At eight o'clock in the morning, when the seconds, minutes and hour hands of the bell tower coincide, the clock tower emits a loud and crisp striking sound, and at the same time a colorful magical light overflows from the dial – it is conceivable that it would be a beautiful scene at night!
The hundreds of thousands of citizens in the Holy City of Lyra were already familiar with the bells of the bell tower, and the only thing that surprised them was that normally, the bell tower would only ring at six o'clock in the morning, twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and six in the evening. It is rumored that this is because the Lord Viscount felt that if the bell rang too often, it would disturb the people, and the vast majority of the citizens could not agree with this.
However, everyone's doubts were soon attracted by something else - as the bell fell, Owen, the current merchant of the territory, and a middle-aged man with a big belly and a businessman-like appearance slowly stepped out from behind the curtain, followed by a beautiful snow elf maid and a catwoman maid respectively.
At this time, Owen was wearing a black suit, with his tall and handsome figure, he also looked particularly capable and charming, which attracted the attention of many women for a while, and even attracted many nymphomaniacs to scream again and again.
As for Owen, not many people present can really recognize him, after all, he has been appointed by Leitch as a commercial officer for a relatively short time, but on this occasion, and still coming out of the attic covered by the curtain, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Owen's identity is not simple.
However, the middle-aged man who looks like a businessman in parallel with Owen, there are even more people who know him, because he is the largest chamber of commerce in Starfog Valley, and the only first-class chamber of commerce, Randall, the president of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce!
The Starlight Chamber of Commerce had donated 500,000 gold coins to the Viscount's Mansion in the disaster relief after the Kuroshio Tide, which was also the largest donation among all private groups, for which Randall, as the president, undoubtedly received a 'Kuroshio Medal of Honor' awarded by Leitch himself!
In addition to donating 500,000 gold coins, the Starlight Chamber of Commerce also provided a large amount of relief materials to the Viscount's Mansion free of charge, and sent many people to assist the soldiers of the territory in disaster relief. In addition, the reputation of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce was also good in the past, so it is not surprising that the Starlight Chamber of Commerce has a very high reputation in the entire Starlight Valley, and even Randall, who is the president, has won the favor of many people.
Seeing Randall and Owen come out side by side, this makes most people more and more curious about Owen's identity, and at the same time, they are more excited about the secrets that will be revealed next!
Like the rumored snow elf, the snow elf maid in front of her has white skin like snow, which looks like she can be blown away, and her figure is also extremely tall, with a height of 1.7 meters, with a tight-fitting red cheongsam, it can be said that her curvaceous body curves are perfectly displayed!
If the Snow Elf Maid makes people feel delicate, like a handful of snow, then the Catwoman Maid who walks with her makes people feel extremely tempting - her height is shorter than the Snow Elf Maid, only about one meter six or five, and her white and tender face is slightly with a little baby fat, but her twin peaks are unusually tall, just like two grapefruit hanging on top - this is an absolute childlike ****! Is it too hard to walk, so they are willing to be the tray messengers of this catwoman's maid, holding those two big grapefruits in their hands at all times!
Beauty always attracts the attention of ordinary people, let alone the best beauty in front of them, but what makes many people curious is that these two beautiful maids are dragging a tray with golden satin in their hands, and a pair of scissors is placed in the tray - what is the use of scissors?
In everyone's confusion, Owen already had an alchemy microphone in his hand - for this kind of alchemy equipment that can amplify and spread the sound far, many people had already seen it with their own eyes yesterday, and even if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they had heard about it afterwards. So not many people showed much surprise at the fact that everyone could hear Owen clearly when he spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Owen, the first commercial officer of the Territory. As for the one next to me, there must not be many people who don't know him, he is the president of the Starlight Chamber of Commerce who won the 'Kuroshio Medal of Honor', Randall Gentleman!"
And through Owen's self-introduction, everyone suddenly became aware of Owen's identity - the territorial commercial officer personally presided over it, which shows the importance that Lord Viscount attaches to the next ceremony! However, many people can't help but feel a little regretful in their hearts, it seems that Lord Viscount will not appear in the square today......
"Hehe, just as the Viscount revealed yesterday, everyone here is rich! Maybe everyone has a different amount of money, but there is no doubt that everyone's money is their own lifeline, and they are always on guard and worried about those shameful thieves!"
"But, just as Lord Viscount promised you yesterday, from now on, the territory will bear this risk for you, and your money will be placed in an absolutely safe place!
"Not only that, but your money doesn't just sit somewhere for nothing, like hens that lay eggs, they grow over time!"
"To this end, Lord Viscount has established a brand new financial institution, and its name is - Iron Vault!" as he spoke, Owen suddenly turned around and said loudly, "Come on, pull the curtain down on me!"
"Wow-"
With Owen's gesture, the tight pitch-black curtain that originally covered the entire six-story attic behind him suddenly slowly opened to both sides, revealing an attic full of iron fences - yes, as long as there are windows or balconies, all of them have white and gold iron fences!
"You have also seen the iron fences above the attic, they are all made of gold-grade materials, and they are enchanted!
"But these iron bars are insignificant compared to the vaults inside the attic, so to speak, even the most top-notch thieves should not want to enter the vaults without moving!
"At the same time, I declare once again that even if the iron vault is really stolen, it will be the responsibility of the territory, and everything will be borne by the territory!"
Noticing that many people were smiling reassuringly and happily, Owen also chuckled and said, "So, let me reveal an issue that you are most concerned about - the interest rate on deposits!"
"Bang Bang—"
As he spoke, Owen suddenly slapped his palms twice, and with Owen's applause, the four walls of the bell tower in the center of the square suddenly lit up with a bunch of huge fluorescent figures! This novel display of magic immediately attracted many people to exclaim!
The fluorescent figures are not projected on the walls themselves, but are projected using four alchemical projection devices that have been prepared and placed around the bell tower. After all, if the wall emits light on its own, it is equivalent to a large screen! Although it is only a large screen with a very low resolution, it may be possible to achieve it with an alchemy instrument, but it is undoubtedly quite difficult! But if it is replaced by a simple projection, it is undoubtedly much simpler!
In fact, these alchemy projectors were not made up by Leitch himself, he just gave his ideas to Orfina, and then she led a small group of mages in the territory to develop them in a short period of time!
"As you can see, the above is the interest rate of the deposit! It is divided into two types of deposits: demand and time, which means that you can withdraw the deposit at any time, of course, the interest rate will be relatively lower; as for the term, it is necessary to withdraw the deposit at the agreed time, so that you can get a higher interest rate! Of course, if you have special needs, you can also change the time to demand, but at the same time, the interest rate will also be changed to the current interest rate, no matter how much time you have deposited!"
"Then, just like the data shown on the bell tower, the monthly interest rate for current is 0.35, the interest rate for three months is 1.10, the interest rate for half a year is 1.30, the year is 1.50, the two years are 2.10, and the three years are 2.75!"
"To put it simply, if you have 10 million gold coins, as long as you deposit these 10 million gold coins in the iron vault and choose to pay for a fixed period of three years, then, even if you don't do anything for these three years, after three years, in addition to the 10 million principal, you will get an additional 275,000 gold coins! This is equivalent to an additional income of 90,000 gold coins per year, and you don't need to pay anything!"
"So, keeping your excess money in the Iron Vault will not only keep your possessions absolutely safe, but will also keep them multiplying!, So, what are you waiting for?" Owen finally concluded aloud and full of demagogy.
"Wow-"
"Lord Viscount really didn't deceive us!"
"In the future, I finally don't have to sleep with my money bag every night, to be honest, these coins are not only cold when it's cold, but also panicked at ordinary times!"
……
For a time, the square was boiling and the crowd was excited.
"Haha, at the same time, I also want to tell you the good news, in addition to deposits, the Iron Vault will soon develop a loan function for everyone! This is a blessing for everyone, because Lord Viscount believes that people will always have times of distress, and at this time, the Iron Vault will be your greatest protection!"
"Of course, loans can't be interest-free, there are also interest rates on loans, and they are much higher than deposit rates, and the maximum loan that different people can get is different, depending on the net worth of each of you. But one thing can be assured of everyone, Iron Vault will try to treat everyone fairly as much as possible!"
"Bang Bang Bang-"
For a while, there was a wave of applause.
"Then, it will be up to Mr. Randall and I to complete the next step in the inauguration of the Iron Vault - the ribbon cutting!"
As he spoke, Owen smiled at Randall, and then the two of them grabbed the scissors of the tray in the hands of the two maids at the same time, walked to a red ribbon stretched in front of the iron vault, and stood at the ends of a large red and black wind knot, and cut the red satin at the same time.
As the black wind knot fell, a piece of red cloth that had been covering the top of the three main entrances on the first floor of the iron vault was taken off, revealing a pitch-black iron plaque with three bronzing fonts written in the continental lingua franca - iron vault!
After cutting the ribbon, Owen picked up a small rectangular iron plaque from the tray in the hands of the snow elf maid behind him, held it high, and said loudly, "Everyone, this is an identity plaque in my hand." That's right, it's a nameplate that everyone has, issued by the territory to which each of you belongs! This will also be the proof of your deposit, which will be deposited with your deposit information through some high-level alchemy instruments, which matches your own soul information, which is absolutely impossible for outsiders to fake!"
"That is to say, only if you come to the Iron Vault with your identity plate and black gold card in person, you can withdraw your deposits! Of course, if there is an accident, after being verified by the staff of the Iron Vault, you will also be accommodated. ”
"So, please put a hundred hearts on your deposit in the Iron Vault!"
"Bang Bang Bang-"
At this moment, many people almost want to slap their palms to pieces, and the richer the people, the more so!
"Next, then, Mr. Randall will be the first customer of the Iron Vault - he will deposit ten million gold coins into the Iron Gold Vault!"
Under Owen's smile, the pot-bellied Randall also responded with a smile, and at the same time he slightly rubbed a ring between his left fingers, and then everyone was shocked to see that a thick gold brick suddenly appeared in front of Randall - about fifteen meters long, one meter high, and one meter wide, that is, this gold brick wall is about fifteen cubic meters!
Fifteen cubic meters of gold?! With the Five Holy Spirits on top, almost everyone in the square had a feeling that they were going to be blinded! This was definitely the first time they had seen gold of this scale with their own eyes! If it weren't for noticing the black wind knights in black armor and solemnly erected around the square, some people would really have to resist the urge to rob it!
"Iron Vault?is this the way you think of fundraising?!" At the top of the Celestial Temple's Cloud Tower, Mavis looked at Reich who was hugging her behind her with a shocked and obsessed expression.
"That's right, in addition to the one in front of me, there are also ninety-nine iron vaults that are officially opened at the same time in the entire Federation and all the large cities above the Federation! I have always believed that money is in the hands of the vast majority of people, even if it is just a beggar who owns a copper coin! And what I want to do is to let them trust the gold coins in their hands to me, and then I will use these gold coins to earn more gold coins!" Leitch bowed his head and kissed Mavis on the forehead and chuckled.
"Isn't it just a white wolf with empty gloves, these people are really some poor fools!" Victoria next to her pursed her lips disdainfully, and seemed to be a little iron-clad.
"You'd be wrong to think like that!" Lei Qi was not annoyed, but said lightly, "I believe that after I establish the Iron Vault, the Copper Vault, the Platinum Vault and the like will also appear one after another, but the confidence that the operation of the Iron Vault can be guaranteed and continue to develop lies in the fact that the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce can use these gold coins to continuously earn more gold coins!"
"And for most consortia, they are not in a high-speed development period like the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce, and they are not short of gold coins in their hands, so a large amount of fundraising may not bring profits to them, and it will even become a burden!"
"And not all of them can enjoy the same prestige as I do in the entire Federation, and even in the entire Dawn Valley—because of my status as a Kuroshio Terminator!"
"Having said so much, it's not that I want to prove that you, Viscount Black Wind, are very capable, no one can match him!, disgusting, it's really stinking and shameless!" But no matter what reason Leitch had, Victoria could always justifiably despise him.
"......" Leitch.
"My man, you're really strong. Suddenly, Mavis stood on tiptoe and licked Leitch's earlobe, and put it to his ear and said, "How about rewarding you tonight? with my sister—"
"I can't wait for the evening, and besides, besides Davis, Shalang has to talk about life with us!" Richie smiled as he glared at himself a little angrily at Mayviston, "You know that you two sisters are not my opponents alone!"
After saying that, Leitch didn't care whether Mavis agreed or not, he just hugged her and turned around, and disappeared on the roof! Immediately after, Davis and Shalang on the side turned red suddenly for some reason, and the two glanced at each other weakly, then bit their red lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, and left the top of the Caiyun Tower one after another.
Soon, only Margaret, Bonnie, and Angelina were left at the top of the Tower. Angelina blushed at the sudden disappearance of the Reichs, Margaret gritted her teeth, and Bonnie looked dazed, obviously a little confused......
"Phew, what a shameless big pervert teacher, he actually has to do that kind of shameless thing during the day!" Pseudo-Lori Victoria clasped her arms and stared at the direction of Leitch's departure and scolded in a hateful whisper, but Victoria's next sentence almost made Angelina fall from the top of the Colorful Cloud Tower, "The most hateful thing is that he didn't even count my mother!
"Phew, you stinky girl who loves to talk nonsense! I think it's you who thinks about spring!" Angelina couldn't help but slap Victoria's little buttocks, which immediately caused the top of the Colorful Cloud Tower to scream again and again......
