Chapter 284 The Super Powerful Pelican Mayor
"You want to go to Pelican Town? Yes! Are you looking for relatives? Or entrust our guild? β
To be honest, I'm a little unhappy with Brad's enthusiasm for Arrow.
After all, after experiencing Viscount Norris's attack, he was really a little nervous about the sudden appearance of such a rich man in Pelican Town.
Isn't it Norris's mastermind behind the scenes, seeing that Norris didn't get things done, so he wants to do it himself, right?
Thinking of this, Arrow still had a smile on his face, but he was even more vigilant when he faced this old man.
Sugar-coated smiled and reached out to make a gesture of signaling the two sides to talk as they walked.
Arrow thought about it, but they could only walk in the direction of Pelican Town together.
As he walked, Sugar-Coated began to speak with his hands behind his back and a little wistful on his face.
"President Arrow, I've actually heard of your guild before I came to Pelican Town. It's really amazing! β
Arrow smiled, still vigilant in his heart: "Where, where, you really won the prize." β
Sugar-coated wine hurriedly waved his hand and said, "You are really too modest!" To be honest, I really never thought that the guild leader who could successfully plan such a large guild war would be such a young man! Oops, it's really a wave pushing a wave! β
Arrow thought for a moment, and said in a slightly tentative tone, "That'...... Do you have any work to entrust our guild with? β
"Entrustment? Well...... Maybe there's something I want you to help with. β
Hearing that the old man didn't even plan to beat around the bush at all, Arrow immediately became vigilant in his heart. Subsequently, the sugar-coated wine continued-
"If I could, I'd like to ask your guild for a favor right now. That one...... How much do you charge for consulting with your guild? β
Arrow was silent for a moment: "What do you want to consult?" Depending on the question asked, the price will definitely be different. β
Sugar-coated wine laughed and said, "That...... Do you know what kind of person your mayor, the mayor of Pelican Town, is? β
To be honest, this question was really beyond all of Arrow's expectations.
He frowned slightly, and the chubby, bearded, round, money-loving mayor Round Cheese naturally came to mind.
In this world, there would be anyone who wanted to inquire about the mayor of the town?
But before he knew the old man's true intentions, Arrow decided it would be better to be cautious: "Mayor Round Cheese is a good friend of mine. But you ask him what he wants to do? I'm telling you, don't try to put any bad ideas in my friend's head! β
Originally, Arrow thought that after he said such a serious word, the old man would show a slightly different expression. Unexpectedly, the old man hurriedly waved his hand and said nervously: "No, no, no!" Bad idea? I didn't want to fight any bad ideas! Kid, I'm not a bad person, so I'll just tell you the truth. I'm here to invest in your town and expand it from a town to a small city! So, I'm definitely not a bad person! β
Hearing the words of the sugar-coated wine now, the members of Mermaid Song, who had been following behind, were stunned. Everyone, you and I are talking word by word, obviously not knowing what to think about what is going to happen next. So I could only look at my president, not knowing how the president would answer.
And Arrow also showed a look of surprise.
His eyes widened, and he said in almost disbelief, "Invest in Pelican Town?" Will Pelican Town be expanded? This small border city? Why? Just a small place with no special products? β
In response to Arrow's denial, the old man in the sugar-coated wine now squinted his eyes, revealing a very confident look, raised a finger and shook it as he walked, and said with a smile: "Tut-tut, young man, you don't understand this, do you?" But it's no wonder that this kind of thing should still be discussed with the mayor of Pelican Town. Well...... Well, I'll give you a little bit of a lesson, and I'll teach you a lesson! β
Immediately, Sugar-Coated Wine ignored Arrow's now tangled and speechless expression, and continued to say to himself: "Kid, do you think your town has no development prospects? Of course, I know that Pelican Town started out as an iron ore mine, and after the iron ore mine disappeared, it has declined until now. But, but ah! When I heard that your town had successfully hosted a guild war, I immediately changed my opinion of your town! β
The old man raised his fingers, pinched his collar very confidently, and said with a smile: "With a small town of four or five hundred people, it is enough to successfully hold a large-scale event that can accommodate three thousand spectators!" This efficiency ratio of one person being able to deal with six outsiders is a gold mine! While I know that the organization of this guild war was published under the title of your Mermaid Song, there is no doubt that your Mermaid Song is just a faΓ§ade. The one who really supported all the planned and arranged activities in the entire guild war was undoubtedly Pelican Town itself! β
That's what you ...... Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with it. So Iero didn't speak.
"When I heard that your town had successfully completed this guild war in the end, I admired your mayor's organizational and planning skills even more! If you want me to say anything, the mayor of your town is a genius of municipal management! Although I don't know why he would want to settle down to be a small mayor in such a small place. However, I believe that even if you become the mayor of a city of 100,000 people, you should have no problem with this kind of organizational management ability! β
Hearing the old man praise the round cheese so appreciatively, the expression on Arrow's face naturally showed a little strange color, and the smile on the corner of his mouth that was originally pure coping could not help but turn into a faint bitter smile. Coco, who was in the back, was a little unconvinced, and immediately stepped forward to speak, but Cream knew each other, and hurriedly covered the little girl's mouth and dragged her to the back.
"After learning about your mayor's management strength, I believe that investing in your town is definitely a good decision to make a lot of money in the future!"
Seeing that the iced wine was still praising round cheese, Arrow suddenly felt some compassion. Then he said, "That...... Mr. Qiaoguo, is it a bit risky for you to invest in our town just by virtue of the personal ability of the mayor of our town? If we change the mayor in the future, won't you be all in vain? β
A sharp flash flashed in Sugar-Coated Wine's eyes, and he raised a finger again, shook it at Arrow, with a fully prescient expression, and said solemnly: "Hehe, child, you don't understand this." Do you think I really decided to invest solely because of your mayor? You're too young and naΓ―ve. β
"What is the most basic thing about a city? A qualified manager, the morale of the residents who are united, and all kinds of infrastructure! β
"Pelican Town has successfully hosted guild wars, so that means that the idle houses in your town have actually been fully utilized, and they are currently in the stage where they can be used anytime and anywhere, right?"
"Also, to hold a guild war, a large number of people come and go, you must have the corresponding waterway construction! Otherwise, after the two-month competition, your town will be full of all kinds of, pee, and sewage. But realistically, is this happening in your town? β
Arrow tilted his head, feeling a little more pity for the old man in his heart: "Ah...... What's this...... There really is no ......"
"yes!"
Sugar-coated wine waved his hand vigorously, and his eyes lit up!
"That means your town's infrastructure is perfectly built! At least with 4,000 inhabitants, there shouldn't be any load problems! β
When he renovated the town's water pipes before the Guild War, Arrow also heard from Timber Daddy that the town could indeed support the prosperity of the town itself after using the water and gas pipes left over from the past.
At the moment, he could only nod at the old man.
"Now, young man, do you understand? You know, your town has plenty of potential! β
Talking about happiness, the footsteps of the sugar-coated wine couldn't help but be brisk. This kind of footsteps with a little bouncing made the two entourages behind him a little nervous for the first time, and hurriedly took two steps forward to protect them on both sides, for fear that the elderly man of his own would accidentally step on some tree root or something and fall and have an accident.
"That's why I made up my mind to invest in your town! I'm going to make your place a city! What do you think? I have a good idea! Hahaha! β
The old man laughed, and before he knew it, everyone had reached the edge of the shining forest.
Leaving the forest and looking at the town towering under the setting sun in front of him, Arrow really didn't know what to say.
"So, young man, you just said you were friends with the mayor? That's why I want to ask you, your mayor...... Do you have any hobbies? Or do you have some special interests? β
As he spoke, Sugar-Coated leaned over and made a gesture of money to Eloby, "If you can, can you please come with me to meet with your mayor, and then help me say a few nice words?" So that when I invest, I can come up with a number that makes both of us feel very 'happy'? Of course, I will never lose your 'introduction fee' on your side. What do you think? β
