Extra-Imperial Capital Trivia 1
The point in time before the protagonist shifts
The vision of a businessman
The old man's name is Cassiu, he doesn't have a surname, please don't get me wrong, he is not a child, and his hair color is not blonde, and he will not spew rays from his mouth that can destroy the house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Decay is just an ordinary businessman in Karaksi, if you want to say that Decay is in the rank of a businessman, it is a feeling that it is less than the top and more than the bottom. Always wandering around the border and the imperial capital.
Why do you want to wander like this? Because the old man also has to support the family, although the old man calls himself old, he is only in his early forties, and his life has not come to an end.
But one day, when the old man was ready to sell edible salt, various minerals and a small amount of secretly purchased magic stones to the border, the old and decrepit transport fleet was surrounded by a team of knights, thinking that the illegal sale of magic stones had been exposed, and he was ready to sit in prison and say goodbye to his family, but then he was taken to a new, large and gorgeous mansion by someone suspected of being the captain of the knights.
To be able to build such a huge and gorgeous mansion in the imperial capital in a short period of time, no matter what you think, only the new regent has the financial resources and courage... What is the purpose of the regent from above to find such an ant people?
"Hello, you're Mr. Cassiu, aren't you? I am Lord Regent's butler and the "Regent's Spokesperson" for this meeting with Your Excellency, and you can call me Dieter. ”
Sure enough, it's the same as the old man thought...
"You, hello, old man, no, I'm Cassiu, what is the matter with the Lord Regent looking for someone like me?"
The middle-aged man named Dieter raised his eyebrows, this expression should be dissatisfied with something... Oops! This kind of thing shouldn't be asked by the old man's side, it's a mistake! Being in a high position and holding a lot of authority at the same time, looking for a businessman like Lao Yu should be asking Lao Yu to send some hot potatoes to the border to sell... It's not the turn of the old man to ask about this kind of thing... When I noticed it, my old fat-filled cheeks and back were completely soaked...
"Hehe, Mr. Cassiu, don't be so nervous, just negotiate with others as usual."
"Hehe, hehe."
Are you kidding? I'm afraid there are no more than ten people who dare to negotiate with the regent in this country! Do you want to spend the rest of your life in that dark and smelly prison? Luckily, I don't need soap when I take a shower.
"Lord Regent has been watching Your Excellency for a long time."
"Huh?"
Have been paying attention to decay for a long time? What does that mean? Old decay is not a spy from another country...
――――――
"Whew... It feels like I'm old for years in just a few hours..."
It turns out that Lord Regent has taken a fancy to the old man's business methods and wants the old man to manage several large casinos in the imperial capital...
"It's good to talk about this kind of thing at the beginning, when I was surrounded by knights, I almost scared the old man into peeing his pants..."
But Lord Regent also came prepared, and after hearing the middle-aged man named Dieter talk about his experience of decay, it can be judged that Lord Regent has been eyeing decay at least five years ago... Managing a casino for a superior is not a big deal, and the old man is very good at it, but this kind of work also comes with a high degree of risk.
If Lord Regent's casino is a black casino, or if the collateral on the table is contraband, then the dead are definitely old... That's the one thing that Lao Yu fears the most. Originally, he wanted to refuse politely, but before the old man could speak, Dieter made a threat first...
"Mr. Cassiu's manifest contains several items that are very special..."
Well, when it comes to this, it is not okay if you don't agree, you can stick out your head and shrink your head, and live one more year is a year, and the remuneration for the old decay is also very good, which is 3% of the annual income of one of the large casinos. Although there is a risk of going to the guillotine, it can only be done, but if he finds anything wrong, he will send his family to the border, although it is not peaceful, but at least he can live...
――――――
It's been two years since the takeover of the casino, and nothing has been found that there is no non-issuance. It's better to say that the old man admires Lord Regent's management plan very much. In the morning, it is working time, so nobles and high-ranking officials, big businessmen who have a certain say in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and large landowners who own vast lands will not come. Why? Who would let go of power, status, and time to make money for the sake of gambling? So these rich people will only come at night.
So back to the original question, who are the customers in the morning? I once went to ask Master Carter's opinion: "I have to come and ask for a little big thing, what do I want you for?" These are the words of Lord Regent. "It's said so... To be honest, it hurt a little old self-esteem. In fact, the old man already had a plan in mind, and there should be three types of customers in the morning, imps, adventurers, and guests with wealthier family backgrounds.
The first is the children, and the children in the imperial capital are a group of rich ghosts. The imperial capital is completely different from other places, and the imperial capital can be said to have no poor people, at least from middle-to-lower families, so these idle imps will have a considerable amount of pocket money in their hands. And the task of the old man is to take out the pocket money of these imps! However, to set an upper limit on the amount, it is absolutely impossible to exceed ten copper coins, and if it exceeds this amount, the service will be denied. I thought that these little ghosts didn't know anything about the word betting, but I didn't expect these little ghosts to be more ruthless than these old but adults... So the little ghost is a kind of consumer group that has been successful.
Then there are the adventurers, this kind of group is a group of people who want money and don't want to die, kill (thieves crusade), overhaul (take the spoils of thieves), and if it is difficult to describe it, they are a group of legitimate thieves... This group of legal thieves is running around all day long for their livelihood, and those who can get ahead have long since closed the mountain (retired), and those who can't bear it can only continue to live a legal life of robbing houses and houses... Of course, this group is a more powerful consumer than the imps, and the most important thing is that they are very idle! The old decay combined the rules of the Lord Regent and set a rule specifically for this group.
First, these legal thieves were not allowed to be sold as slaves when they were exhausted.
Second, it is not allowed to use family members as collateral for arrears.
Thirdly, legitimate thieves can pay off their debts by working for Lord Regent, and of course, their families will also have a guarantee of life and food and shelter.
Fourth, when the adventurer dies unexpectedly while working, the arrears will be written off, and the Lord Regent will also give "consolation money" at his discretion.
Finally, there are people from wealthier families, these people are more picky, and they don't have the desperate sense of those legal thieves, and they generally take it when they see it, and only a very small number of stupid people will fall into a desperate situation, so this group is a little harder to earn money than legal thieves. So the old man is very satisfied with the current situation of the casino, and I have to say that there is any dissatisfaction... Then there is only the name of the casino, which is actually called "Debt Paradise", "Gold Purgatory" and some "Big-headed Ghost Gathering Place"... I always feel that only fools will come to this kind of casino, but on the day of the opening, I found that the tables in each casino were full of people, this strange thing has lived for more than 40 years or the first time I have seen it... Later, I learned that everyone who came to the casino had a certain status in the imperial capital, and nobles, big businessmen, and big landlords abounded, and they all took time out of their busy schedules to come and hold it. But most of the people came because of the Lord Regent's obscenity, and many nobles who had a holiday with the Lord Regent were present, so many people gritted their teeth and stomped on the ground after seeing the name of the store, but they still walked into the casino with a dog's face... Power is terrible!
