"So, Black Star of Longtan, what exactly do you need to get my help?"

Coming to Rockface Mansion again, this time Han Xiao met Rockface alone, the two sat opposite each other, and the servants put refreshments and drinks.

After a few small talks, Rockface got straight to the point.

"My time is precious, if you have anything to ask for, just say it."

Han Xiao put down the cup, leaned forward, and said: "Then let me say it bluntly, my mercenary group is Longtan's field force, which has been in operation for a year and a half, it's time to expand and increase the scale, I shoulder the prestige of Ames, and I can't continue to make small fights, the structure of the large army like Tianhuan and Blade is the construction direction of Black Star, the stronger the field force, the stronger Longtan will be, so I need some financial support to form a base camp exclusive to the mercenary group, not a temporary stronghold on lease." ”

His 2.0 version of the preliminary preparation plan, the core goal is to expand the camp, and then guide the Aqua Blue Star players to join the mercenary group in the disaster of alienation, and Godora and Dark Star are both competitors, originally the player only needs to choose one of the two camps, and Han Xiao wants to intervene as a third party to provide players with a new way out, so in addition to the original "good and evil", there is more "neutrality" that he represents.

Based on this, problems followed, and in order to accommodate thousands of players, the hardware of the faction needed to be significantly upgraded, otherwise it would not be able to receive and attract more members.

The most critical factor to attract players is the benefits, even if the meat bun program has cultivated a large number of audiences who yearn for mercenary groups, it is difficult to generate electricity with love for a long time, so the task resources provided to players are very important, and Han Xiao has already planned for this, and the mercenary group was established in order to become an intermediary for task release, connecting employers and players, so as to borrow the almost endless task resources of the mercenary world to cultivate their own camp, retain players, form camp attraction, and accumulate the reputation of the mercenary group.

In addition to the characteristics of the mercenary group itself, he also has the intention of NPC resource land, and there are countless ways to give benefits.

In addition to the task resources, another focus is on the specialty of the camp, in addition to the professional knowledge and skills of the large gold-absorbing households, mechanical creation is naturally his characteristic, and it is impossible to complete a large number of orders by relying on his own production capacity alone, so he must consider the problem of mass production, start assembling the assembly line, and build his own military factory...... With the current level of knowledge and manufacturing, it is barely feasible to build an assembly line.

This leads to the second question, where should the assembly line be placed? If so many players are accepted, the mercenary group must have a huge, fixed, and exclusive stronghold, which is equivalent to the main city of the camp, otherwise it is not conducive to cultivating a sense of belonging, only with its own "main city" is like a regular army, even if it is a professional guerrilla, it still pays attention to a rural area to surround the city, and the location, security, resources, functions, etc. of the stronghold are all problems.

So, it naturally leads to the third question, traffic! Since the number of members under his command has skyrocketed, travel is a problem, and players have been asked to play spaceships, which is like a word, which is not conducive to maintaining the heat of the main city, and there must be a spaceship exclusive to the camp...... Or a long-term cooperation agreement with some interstellar tour groups.

These are just the basic problems, there are many fragmentary problems, such as finding a stable supplier of raw materials, contacting the engineering team, etc., expanding the camp is like expanding the size of the company, if you want to increase the scope of business, you have to make a lot of preparations, and everything costs money.

Coupled with Nagogin's remuneration, Han Xiao's savings still have more than 500,000 inar left, and some time ago he folded his hands and counted them, feeling that this amount of money was enough, and it was a little painful to be careful with his wallet, so meeting Rockface at this time was generally to attract investment.

"Expand the size of the field force......" Rockface squinted. Is this what Ames meant? ”

"Ames never cares, you should know that, I'm the head of the field force, and this is a plan I'm working on myself." Han Xiao said.

"I guess it's not her idea......" Rockface changed his posture and looked more aura, fully showing the confidence that being rich is an uncle, and said with a smile: "Then how much do you want?" ”

"How much are you willing to give?" Han Xiao threw the question back.

Rockface immediately opened the topic, "So far, I have provided nine grants to Longtan, with a total of about 24 million inars, this will not be the final number, I still have the intention of investing in Longtan, Jenny and I are old acquaintances, and the return she gave is the reason why I insist on investing, enjoying the prestige of Ames, allowing me to earn back the profits that I am satisfied with from other channels." ”

Then, he kept silent and looked at Han Xiao with a smile, the subtext was what you can give me in return.

By investing in Longtan, he got some kind of permission from the big director Jenny, shared a part of Ames's influence, and then used it to carry out business negotiations or political activities, which is equivalent to exchanging investment for the influence of the strong, and then using influence to make money, and then he will earn much more than the amount invested, so the question is, only this kind of return can be made by investing in Longtan's headquarters, why invest in Longtan's field troops, and this is just Han Xiao's personal plan, if it is Ames's meaning, he will give money, Black Star...... The face is not so big yet.

Do you want to reciprocate, Han Xiao smiled, and suddenly said, "Presumably you have my information in your hands, then you must know that I have some immortal warriors under me." ”

Rockface nodded, "Well, I also noticed that they're not with you right now. ”

"They are natural mercenaries, far more than you think, and I know all of them, expanding the scale is naturally not only about the infrastructure, but also about increasing the number of members, I don't need to hire other mercenaries in the free market, they are the ones I like, if you invest, I can quickly expand and become a large mercenary group, and at that time, I will give you a satisfactory return - even if you have Jenny's permission, sometimes you need the combat force of Longtan to show up in person and help you convince your competitors, Or is it a large mercenary group willing to accept your unpaid employment in private? ”

Han Xiao selectively revealed part of the situation, convincing investors that they must depict the prospects of the project, although there is also a stock market in the interstellar, but a mercenary group is far from reaching the entry threshold, so naturally there is no qualification for the white wolf with empty gloves.

And he is not afraid of revealing the existence of the player, the player will join the interstellar sooner or later, and everyone will know about it at that time, and during the version update period, even if he tells Rockface some information, the other party can't do anything, because now he can't even find a single player's hair!

This is a new idea that he has recently come up with - to make NPCs recognize the potential of players and attract them to actively invest.

The meeting was a small test of the feasibility of this idea.

Rockface was skeptical, lost in thought, and was silent, Han Xiao's proposal made him a little interested, it might be a good project to help Longtan build a field force, but although Black Star was also a member of Longtan, the trust was not enough for him to invest with confidence.

Han Xiao thought he would have to wait for a while, but in less than ten seconds, Rockface made a decision, and the head of this big consortium acted resolutely.

"I'm not going to fund you."

"That's a shame that you're missing out on a project where the returns are far greater than the investment." Han Xiao shook his head.

At this time, Rockface changed his words, "But I can give you a loan, four million inars, a term of three years, for the sake of Longtan, I will give you a simple interest rate, repay within one year, I will not charge you interest." If you repay the loan within one year or two, I will charge you 10% interest, which is 400,000 yuan. Between two years and three years, 20 percent, 800,000 percent. More than three years, 40 percent, 1.6 million, this is my condition. ”

The corners of Han Xiao's mouth twitched, this interest is a bit explosive, it's okay in a year, it's almost like a loan shark after more than three years, it's almost comparable to a loan shark, this is still because he has Longtan's background as a guarantee, Rockface is willing to borrow money.

It's really ...... to be rich

"Okay, I promise."

Han Xiao nodded, he didn't worry about repaying the money, version 2.0 will open within a year, as long as the player returns, I'm afraid he can count the money until his brain cramps!

Not to mention paying back the money, even if we buy the Norrios consortium, we can't ...... Ahem, excited, this one still can't afford it.

Rockface took out the communicator, pointed out a loan document, both sides signed their names, this document has legal effect, backed up in the files of many civilizations that you are familiar with, protected by the laws of these civilizations, in the previous life, there were player guilds who were greedy for money and did not pay it back, so the relationship between these civilization camps plummeted, and the upper limit of the camp's favorability was reduced to 2999 points, which means that the [respect] relationship will never be reached, and then the trust of personal identity will be reduced, and it is impossible to take out a loan, and in serious cases, it will become a wanted criminal.

If the guild wants to get a loan, it has to put a lot of effort into improving the relationship between the factions, and if it doesn't pay back, all the accumulated relationships will be buried.

Han Xiao also had no idea of defaulting.

Bite......

Han Xiao's account received the transfer, and after taking a look, the deposit amount suddenly became "4,581,010".

Rockface is very happy to give money, and he can use more than 7 million to buy sky-high jewelry, this small investment is just a small meaning to him.

But at this time, Han Xiao was a huge amount of start-up capital.

"So nice to work with."

Standing up, Han Xiao shook hands with Rockface, and was taken out of the mansion by the housekeeper, he went directly back to the hotel where Melos and the others were stationed, and after supervising Sivia's homework for a while, he returned to the room to think.

"I really got the investment, it seems that the influence of the camp is greater than I thought, the start-up capital is available, as long as you choose a good place, you can start building the base camp...... Well, what better planet to be close to Aquamarine, but with a close connection to the stars......"

Doodoo ......

Just thinking about it, the communicator suddenly rang, and the big director Jenny sent a communication, her face was not good, and the first thing she said after connecting was to ask:

"Rockface told me, you applied for a loan from him privately, why didn't you inform me beforehand."

"Jenny, will you agree?"

"Don't call me Jenny, you should call me the big director, of course I won't agree." Jenny's tone was categorical, she had always insisted on a corner of the road, building a field force was an unnecessary expense in her opinion, and Ames never needed a strong armed force.

"And what am I going to tell you to do?" Han Xiao spread his hands, he knew Jenny, Jenny was in charge of finance and business, and she had a strong desire to control, she would not agree to make the field force bigger, although they were cadres of the same camp, but there was a conflict between concept and business.

Of course, the core contradiction is that Jenny doesn't trust him enough, after all, he is a mercenary who joined Longtan halfway.

Jenny said categorically: "I order you, return the loan immediately, you cannot accept any form of funds without my permission!" ”
