Chapter 169: You don't borrow, some people borrow
Hearing this, Viscount Ruichi couldn't help but exhale, shook his head, and said, "Well, I also knew at the beginning that it was impossible for you to lend so much money so easily. Then you say, how much money do you plan to give me? β
Eddie didn't pay any attention to the team members behind him who were already a little eager to try, raised his head, and said with a smile: "Ten." This time, I brought a total of 20 gold coins. I'm willing to lend you ten gold coins, how about it? β
Viscount Ruichi exhaled again, his face was not disappointed, just a little indifferent expression, nodded and said, "Ten gold coins?" Well, it's better than nothing. β
With that, the viscount took out the contract from his bosom. The text on the contract has long been written, and only a few numbers remain unfilled. At that moment, he wrote the number and handed the contract to Eddie here, saying, "Mosquito meat is also meat, I will borrow it." This is a contract, so if there is no problem, please sign it. β
Eddie's eyes immediately narrowed with a smile, and he picked up the contract and looked at it happily.
But soon, the smile disappeared from his face.
"What's going on?"
Eddie pointed to the number on the contract and said with a little indignationβ
"Didn't you just say a 15% return? How did it become 5%? β
In response to this question, Ruichi just stretched his head over, squinted his eyes and looked at it, shrugged his shoulders very easily, and said, "Ah, this? I think it's normal, if you lend me 100 gold coins, then I'll give you 15% in return. But if you only give me 10 gold coins, then I can't give you much in return. 5%, which is a very high price I can give. By the way, I won't deliberately cheat you, you look at the repayment date above. β
Eddie was stunned for a moment, continued to look at the contract, and swept to the next line. At this moment, the expression on his face became even more nervous: "The date of the loan ...... Trimester? You've only borrowed it for three months??? β
Viscount Ruichi had a "what's so strange about this" expression and said, "Yes, the money you lent me is less, and of course the interest I give you is less." However, correspondingly, the repayment time will also be very short. Three months, three months later, I will pay you back 10 gold, 1 silver and 5 bronze with interest. That's a good deal for you, right? β
Eddie's mouth was half-open, but he quickly thought of it and said, "So! If I borrow you again in three months......"
"After three months, it's going to be up to me to cash in on my cash flow. However, I don't think I will give such a high interest rate of 15% anymore. Moreover, I was thinking that I would borrow it for a year, until the end of February next year. So if you still want to lend me a lot of money after three months, the interest will be calculated until the end of February next year. β
Viscount Ruichi said very generously, without the slightest concealment, and there is no need to conceal it at all.
The opportunity to make money is here, and the later you delay, the less money you make.
So sometimes Ruichi really admires that Ariel, although she is a girl, but you really don't accept these ghostly ideas from this girl! Know what the best part is? The most exciting thing is that these things can be said generously, and there is no need to hide them at all, they belong to a complete conspiracy!
Therefore, after getting this information, Eddie over there has begun to hesitate. He pondered, hesitated, considered. But everyone on the side of the association was about to follow Eddie's "surrender......
"Wald Fisheries is a sponsor of Mermaid Song, right? In other words, you both have a good relationship, right? β
Suddenly, George over there opened his mouth and said such a sentence.
In an instant, the crowd of the Association and the Holy See, who had just been a little hesitant, was shocked, and immediately came to their senses, and once again stared at this viscount with a very wary look!
George, on the other hand, shook the wine in his glass and said with a sneer: "Since you have such a good relationship, why don't you borrow money from her?" Instead, they came to us to borrow it? Hehe...... Are you and the president of the Mermaid Song planning something? β
In response to George's question, Viscount Ruichi did not show any horror or fear.
On the contrary, he looked at George over there with a look of contempt and contempt.
Obviously, this kind of look made George, who seemed a little complacent just now, feel a little empty.
"The Mermaid's Song? Mr. Paladin, if such a small guild can lend me money for me to turnover, does it still need me to sponsor it? What a joke. β
But George still refused to admit defeat, snorted, drank the wine in the glass, and said, "Before, of course, the mermaid song had no money. But now it's different! It's very rich now! This...... Hmph, I know that very well! β
"What? Mermaid Song is rich? President Ariel is also rich???!!! β
Originally, George may have said this to mock and test Ruichi.
But he probably never expected that after getting the news, Viscount Ruichi immediately showed an extremely excited expression!
Then, he took back the contract that had been placed in front of Eddie, rolled it up and put it in his underwear pocket, and walked to the tavern door with an excited face.
"Will Ariel be rich? Is she really rich? That's great! Hahaha! It's really great! β
Seeing that Viscount Ruichi was about to walk to the door, the little liquor boss opened his mouth and said in a very plain voice: "Is it still bookkeeping?" β
"Bookkeeping? Ah, by the way, it's time for me to settle all of last year's accounts! β
Viscount Ruichi walked to the little liquor boss here with an excited face, took out two gold coins from his pocket and happily slapped them on the table, and waved his big hand: "No need to look for it!" Hahaha! President Ariel~~~! President Ariel~~~! I'm going to borrow money~~~~! β
At this point, the people on the part of the Holy See and the Association finally reacted.
But what surprised everyone the most was that it was none other than George Peanutun Paladin, who had just raised his suspicions, who rushed out to stop this viscount.
"Huh? Mr. Paladin, please get out of the way. β
For Viscount Ruichi's request, the smile on the corner of George's mouth finally became no longer so strange. He put his arm around the viscount's shoulder, pulled him back into his seat, and sat downβ
"We're all good at making money, right? All right! I'm sorry to have doubted you, Your Excellency Viscount Ruichi, but now I'm convinced. You want to borrow money, don't you? I will sign this contract of yours! I can lend you two hundred gold coins directly! β
But the current Viscount Ruichi shook his head and said with a serious face: "No, no need. I'm going to borrow money from Ariel, and I don't have to give her such a high rate of return. β
With that, Ruichi wanted to get back on his feet.
"Hey~~~! Don't be so outward. β
George's hand pressed a little harder, and pushed Viscount Ruichi, who was still trying to stand up, back into his seat, and said with a smileβ
"I just made an analogy and said that Mermaid Song is rich now. But Viscount Ruichi should know that that little guild can't have that much money at all, right? So, I'm sure our cooperation will be very pleasant. β
Regarding George's current "oppression", Ruichi's face looks suspicious.
Eddie, who was on the other side, also came over now, and said with a smile: "That's right, since Viscount Ruichi needs a lot of funds now, then there is no reason for us as an association to stand idly by." I can personally lend you (a glance at George) as well...... Two hundred gold coins. I only hope that our cooperation can continue perfectly in the future~~~~! β
With the actions of these two leaders, the remaining magicians, paladins, and priests were naturally hooked up, and they gathered around the viscount, almost impatiently wanting to sign the contract, promising to lend a lot of money.
And for Viscount Ritch Wald, who is now in the center of all the sights......
(I really...... It's for you! Ariel Garcia. οΌ

The tailor shop in Pelican Town has always been the only one Boss Budding.
When Pelican Town was a small town in the past, a tailor's shop was enough. This remote border town has only a few hundred people at best, and there is nothing unusual about how they dress on weekdays, so this tailor shop is more than enough to meet the requirements of everyone in the town.
Later, there was one more Mermaid Song.
The guild's requirements for tailors were suddenly raised a lot. After all, the clothes on those adventurers will become tattered at every turn, and the production of some equipment has also made Boss Budian make a good profit.
Later, Pelican Town became Pelican City.
Although the city has grown in size, the number of people living in the city has not increased. Now the total population of the entire Pelican City is probably only a little over 1,000 at most, and a large number of houses are uninhabited.
But with such a large number of people, life can no longer be as easy as before. If he needs to make money, he has to be busy all day long. At the same time, he can only barely meet the needs of the tailor shop in Pelican City, and he will make a little more money.
It won't be long before a second tailor shop opens in Pelican Cityβan anticipation that the boss of Budding has long been prepared for.
He also wanted to open his own, but for this master tailor, his favorite thing to do was to make clothes, not to do business. If he opened his own branch and hired more people to help, he really didn't know if he would be able to manage it well, and he wouldn't know if he would be able to keep busy.
