Chapter 165: Business Partners
Sutta picked up the magic sword and turned to leave. After waiting for no one to be around, Viscount Ruichi stepped forward again, looked at Ariel with a face full of obscenity and excitement, and said with a smile: "That...... President Ariel. As far as I know, you're supposed to be back on behalf of the royal family now, right? ”
Ariel didn't deny it either: "Well, yes. ”
Ruichi rubbed his hands, continued to laugh, and said, "If that's the case...... Can you give me a hand? If we have money, we can earn it together, and if I want to contribute, I can also contribute! If there is a difficulty, we will bear it together! You know, I've trusted you the most in the last three years! I am your strongest backing! Ah, hahaha, of course, it's the backing in addition to the royal family. I'm not shameless enough to be on par with royalty. ”
Since this guy has said so, Ariel's eyes rolled slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Your Excellency Ruichi, I do have something here that I may need your help with. Of course, we can also make money together, and we will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Hearing Ariel's consent, Ruichi's excited whole face began to tremble, and he hurriedly rubbed his hands and said, "You say you say you say you say!" If I can do it, I will do it! No matter how difficult it is, as long as you can make money, even if you ask me to help you get the stars and moon in the sky, I will find a way to do it! ”
Ariel smiled: "Your Excellency, I am the mistress of the royal family~~~"
Ruichi's face darkened, and he quickly covered his mouth and stretched out his hand to say that you can continue, I won't say anything.
Ariel smiled and continued, "Now, here's the thing. As for me, I hope you can come and invest in my factory. Don't worry, I won't need you to invest too much money, a thousand gold coins should be enough. ”
Such a lion's big mouth made Viscount Ruichi suddenly change from the smiling face just now to a dead man's face. His head instinctively shrank back, which surprised Ariel, who for a moment thought that something had suddenly appeared on her face, and that the viscount was not interested in her beauty.
whispered, in private, Ariel still felt that her face was worthy of the world. The pair of scum parents who abandoned her didn't leave anything good, but she really had to thank the pair of bullshit parents for this face, which made her life in this world at least a little easier.
"One thousand, one thousand, one gold, one coin?!"
Viscount Ruichi didn't seem polite at all, and immediately shouted-
"President Ariel, are you robbing money?! A thousand gold coins in one go?! Even if you have the royal family as your backing, a thousand gold coins is a bit too much, right? ”
Seeing Viscount Ruichi's painful expression now, Ariel seemed very calm. She took a sip of her water glass and said with a smile: "If you think it's too much, I don't have a problem, you can not invest at all." ”
Originally, Viscount Ruichi completely refused this huge amount of money. But seeing Ariel's current appearance, his eyes rolled, and he immediately felt a little nervous.
He thought about it for a moment, and the surprised expression just now slowly calmed down, and it turned into that flattering smile again, and he regained it, and said with a smile: "That...... President Ariel, these thousand gold coins...... Hehe, well, then I at least want to ask, what kind of business are you doing? You've bought so many raw materials for fabric...... Are you going to weave? Making clothes? But now we have enough tailors in Pelican City, Tianhe City and Lagoon City, and we don't need so many clothes......"
Ariel waved her hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about sales, I have my method." Now, I just want a word from His Excellency Viscount Ruichi. Would you like to vote? If we want, then we can continue to talk like this. If you don't want to...... Then I don't think there's anything to talk about between us. ”
Viscount Ruichi was still a little unwilling, and smiled again: "That...... President Ariel, I know that you have the royal family as a backer, and you are also the mistress of the second prince! I believe that you will definitely make money in this business! Even if you don't make money, the second prince loves you so much and is willing to let you come out to do business, you can imagine that he is so good to you, and he will definitely try his best to meet your needs! Whether it's those shops or raw materials, as long as the royal family comes out of the (harmony) stage, some laws can help you get it! So I don't have to worry about your business losing money at all. I was just...... Just a little bit...... Hey hey ......"
After two dry laughs, Viscount Ruichi exhaled and said with a smile: "I'm just...... I really want that little bit of information to be revealed. It's true...... Just a little bit, as long as a little bit of leftovers can give me a sense of trust, that's it! ”
The words have come to this, and Ariel can only put down the teacup in her hand, smile all over her face, and slowly say a sentence-
"No, yes. Say yes first, and then talk about the specifics. If you don't want to, then let's just say it. ”
No matter how much he begged, Viscount Ruichi found that he had no way to impress the mistress of the second prince. Although he had known that the president was full of such strange thoughts, he was now asked to spit out a thousand gold coins in one breath without any guarantees...... That's really ...... It's ......!
After hesitating for a long time, the viscount finally relented, gritted his teeth, raised his hand and slapped the table heavily, and said loudly: "Okay! I'm out of the way! President Ariel, I believe in you! I'll trust you with my worth! A thousand gold coins is a thousand gold coins, since I choose to believe you, then I am willing to bear the consequences! ”
At this point, Ariel finally smiled.
All she needs is such a guarantee, or rather, such a courage to be willing to risk everything for herself!
Now she needs some business partners, although real partners need to be tied through interests, but there is another way to recognize your partners.
That is, to make a very demanding request to your potential business partner and not to promise any guarantees. In this case, if there are still people who are willing to believe in you, then it proves that the other party really believes in your character. Willing to believe in your choices, believe in your vision, and be willing to advance and retreat with you in the future storms, rather than someone who will leave as soon as he encounters something.
Now, Ariel is pretty sure that this Viscount Ruichi is one of her business partners. He was willing to believe in himself, and it was definitely not an easy decision for a small viscount to be willing to risk a thousand gold coins to do business with himself.
So......
"Ahem, thank you, Your Excellency Viscount Ruichi. I am really touched by your determination, and I accept it. ”
Viscount Ruichi was now lying on the table as if he had been stolen half his life, and he looked dying. After a violent gasp, he said weakly, "So...... Can you tell us about it now? I...... I invest in ...... I give money...... What if you ...... If you want to sign a contract...... I can also sign ...... After signing...... You can tell me...... What business are we going to do? Woo...... I am tired...... President Ariel...... Please tell me one bite at a time......! ”
Ariel got up, poured a glass of water for the viscount herself, put it next to his hand, and said with a smile: "Although I said that I want you to invest a thousand gold coins, in fact, you should not really give me a thousand gold coins. ”
Hearing that he didn't actually have to give money, Viscount Ruichi's originally very decadent body immediately bounced up like a spring, looking energetic and full of joy: "Don't pay a thousand gold coins? Okay, how do I do that? Do you want my catch? OK! In the future, all the fish and food caught in the mermaid song will be covered by our Wald fishery! ”
Ariel hurriedly raised her hand to calm down the viscount a little, and said with a smile: "No, no, no, you misunderstood what I meant." I mean something like this. Well...... I'll just tell you what to do. ”
After a moment's pause, Ariel also filled her water glass and said slowly—
"In addition to our Mermaid Song, there is also a team from the Magic Association and a team from the Holy See of Light that has returned to Pelican City this time. I don't know if you've heard about it? ”
Viscount Ruichi nodded, but frowned and said, "They told me when I met your members. So? ”
Ariel smiled and said, "I need you to do one such thing, that is, you go and find Eddie Invincible, the leader of the Magic Guild team, and George Peanutun, the leader of the Holy See of Light. Then say to the two of them and the other members that your Wald Fishery has skyrocketed in business through the reputation of the Guild Champion after the Patron Mermaid Song. In terms of orders, your order for Wald Fishery has even reached the end of this year, and there are even many nobles who have named the supply of fish for the next year. ”
"But such a skyrocketing business is a bit more than you expected, your fishing boats of Wald Fishing...... Ah, the Siren Queen has just undergone some repairs, and it is not in the best condition. And you don't have enough ships to complete that many orders. The only way to solve this problem is to raise a large amount of money to invest it first. Remember, it's about 'investing' and waiting until the end of the year to make money and then pay it back in one go. ”
