Chapter 497: Young Man in Dolphin Bay
Roland looked at the uninvited guest across from him with interest. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Info has 3 priest ranks before she graduates, and this girl is considered to be outstanding in the seminary.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Orome Silversail, a fourth-year seminary."
"Sit down and talk about something." Roland said indifferently.
Zehir looked at the handsome female priest, leaned sideways into Roland's ear and whispered, "Shall I avoid it?" ā
Roland stretched out his hand and pressed him back to his seat, and said angrily: "Avoid what?" Where do you want to go. ā
Zehir smiled a little: "This priest probably wants to talk to you about life and faith, I am a person who does not worship gods, and it is not appropriate to sit here." ā
"You're too worried, sir, I'm not here to preach to you." The young priest hurriedly explained, held a leaflet in both hands and handed it to Roland, and said with a sincere face: "Don't be presumptuous...... Please take a look at it. ā
Roland took the flyer and glanced at it, it showed a cute little dolphin on it, and it was written in prominent font below: "My Lord bless all those who have a loving heart, please help us save the endangered dolphin!"
"It turned out to be a fundraiser...... Roland took the flyer and commented casually, "The dolphin is not badly drawn, but the copywriting is really not good." ā
Orome's face suddenly turned red, and she hung her head in embarrassment.
"Do you write a copy?"
"Well, I ......also drew dolphins," the girl whispered, as if to show that her handwriting was not useless.
"Why do you think of asking me for donations, don't I look like a poor student?" Roland asked, looking sideways into her eyes.
Ou Luomei looked at him seriously and shook her head firmly: "Not like it! You don't look like a student, but like a nobleman. ā
Roland sighed, "Unfortunately, you have lost your eyes, the real noble son is this brother next to me." As he spoke, he patted Zehir on the shoulder.
Orome turned her head to look at Zehir with suspicion in her eyes.
Zehir took a sip of wine and grinned at her, "Little sister, why are you raising money for dolphins?" ā
"Ah, that's right! The city hall intends to build a new wharf in Dolphin Bay, if this bill is really passed and implemented, the beautiful and quiet environment of Dolphin Bay is bound to be destroyed, the merchant ships will disturb the dolphins that gather in the vicinity all year round, and even pollute the waters and beaches, and the noise of loading and unloading goods at the wharf will also have a bad impact on our campus and hinder our study, so our student council officials decided to launch a fundraising campaign to try to protect the environment of Dolphin Bay from commercial activities. Orome said seriously.
"It's kind of interesting, what you say makes a lot of sense." Zehir nodded seriously, felt in his pocket, and took out all the coins, "I have this money with me, don't be too little." ā
"Thank you very much!" Ou Luomei bowed deeply to him excitedly, "I didn't expect you to be such a kind person. ā
"Miss Reverend, you can't just look at people on the surface, my Zehir brother is a true druid, and no one understands your environmental cause better than him." Roland said with a smile.
Orome looked at Zehir in surprise and muttered, "I really don't see it...... I thought this gentleman was a pirate - well, I mean sailors, sailors! ā
Zehir rubbed his cheeks and muttered in frustration, "Although I look a little fierce, I don't look like a pirate, do I?" It's really ......."
Roland took out a pen and checkbook, wrote a check and handed it to Orome: "Don't judge people by their appearance in the future, you can cash this check at any time at the Yangbo family bank, it is indeed not appropriate for the commercial dock to be built near the university, if you can elaborate on the ins and outs of this matter, maybe I can provide a little more valuable advice than donations." ā
He wasn't used to carrying hundreds or thousands of coins with him, and the storage bag could fit in, but it was inconvenient to dig out the money - imagine pulling hundreds of coins out of his pocket and you know how ridiculous the scene is. In a place with a developed financial industry such as Baiou Port, it is still very convenient to pay with bills, and commercial paper - especially bank notes - is actually the prototype of paper money.
Ou Luomei took the check and looked at it, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue, although 200 gold coins was not a huge amount of money, it was enough to make her overjoyed. With Roland's current net worth, 200 gold coins is a low-level spell scroll, so he naturally won't take it to heart, but he can't be too generous when he meets Pingshui, otherwise Eurome will not suspect him of ulterior motives, and at the same time, Zehir, who donated a lot of change before, is very faceless.
"Yes, kind sir, we have petitioned the City Hall Planning Bureau in the name of the United Student Union of the Five Colleges to establish an area in Dolphin Bay dedicated to the protection of wild dolphin populations, which can be operated as a tourist attraction, replacing the original plan to build a commercial dock."
Roland bowed slightly, confirming that Olome was not the kind of paranoid person who was purely eco-friendly for the sake of the environment, and at least she knew how to propose a more advantageous alternative from a commercial point of view, rather than blindly singing high-profile and unilaterally asking others to sacrifice real interests to cater to her moral purity.
"Ecotourism replaces commercial docks, this plan is reasonable, anyway, there are many places where Baiou Port can build a wharf, but there are very few places with beautiful scenery and quiet environment like Dolphin Bay, what does the municipality say?"
"Ms. Lyubov was very supportive of us, and agreed to postpone the plan to build a new wharf for half a year, and if we could raise 50,000 gold coins before winter came, we agreed to build a protected area, and the follow-up investment was taken care of by the Finance Bureau of the city-state, but the start-up capital stumped us, and we are in a hurry to make fortunes."
"So you rushed to the doctor in a hurry, and when you saw a guy who looked like a young man, you ran over to collect donations?" Roland asked her with a smile.
The girl blushed, biting her lip and hanging her head.
"Why don't you ask your wealthy classmates for help, 50,000 gold coins shouldn't be a big deal to those factory owners and bankers." Zehir asked.
"I have already asked for help, and at present, the donation of more than 10,000 gold coins is made up by the students who have reduced their food and clothing and even used their family connections, this kind of seemingly unprofitable thing, even those top rich people are not much interested in contributing." Ou Luo Mei puffed out her cheeks and complained bitterly.
"Unprofitable? Not necessarily. Roland shook his head, and then asked her: "Who owns the property rights of the reserve, who is responsible for running it, and how will the profits be distributed?" ā
"Huh? What does property rights mean? Orome's eyes widened, her face blank.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, there are no business school cadres among the student union officials who initiated the petition with you, and you can also have a law school, let them come and talk to me."
"Yes, yes! Please wait! ā
Ou Luo Mei turned around and ran, and after a while ran back, followed by a young half-elf boy, with fair skin and clear eyebrows, with a little bookish temperament.
"Antron Yanbo, a fourth-year business student, what is this gentleman called?"
"Roland Kolas, traveler from the south, you can call me Roland."
Roland shook hands with the half-elf youth, and by the way, he opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to observe the other party, and unexpectedly found that this person was actually a level 4 prophecy school specialized mage. If Eurome is outstanding, this little brother can be called talented. However, the other party can't even get a mere 50,000 gold coins, which shows that although his surname is "Yangbo", most of them are children who are not taken seriously, and the possibility of illegitimate children is not small.
