Chapter 131 Mobilize the action of the entire town
Early the next morning, the people of the Giant Mountain Guild and the Soul Flame Guild left in front and back.
It seems that these two guilds are really starting to think seriously about this battle, and they are all in a hurry to go back and prepare.
After all, for a guild in a small city, a hundred gold coins is still very tempting. Especially without spending extra money on food, it means that this "Guild Wars" mission is a completely profitable business.
Of course, this is for the winners.
For losers, even if the next two months can not be spent on any basic management fees, two months of busy work is not a good thing after all.
After seeing the two guilds off and watching the carriage leave the pelican, Arrow let out a long breath and rubbed his shoulders with dark circles under his eyes.
Even though I've been working all night, the real work has just begun.
Now, he went back to the guild to pack up the plan he had spent the whole night thinking about last night, and ran in the direction of the mayor's office without stopping.
Bumper Bumper ——!
"Round cheese boss! Boss, open the door! I'm Arrow's of Merfolk Song! ”
As he knocked on the door, Arrow yelled loudly.
This is a little loud in the town of Pelicans, which has returned to peace.
After a long time, the gate, which was almost half buried in ice and snow, loosened slightly.
A crack in the door was revealed, and the mayor of Round Cheese, who was wrapped in a cotton jacket, with a lazy face and a red nose, and a dazed face all day, showed his face from it.
After seeing Arrow outside, the mayor of the town didn't seem to have much energy, yawned and said, "Oh, President Arrow? Only now...... Eleven o'clock in the morning? What's the matter, come back in the afternoon, right? ”
Arrow didn't have that much time, and when the mayor was about to close the door, he hurriedly inserted the plan in his hand into the crack of the door, and said with a smile on his face: "Boss! Now is a great opportunity to make a lot of money! Would you like to hear about it? ”
"Make money?"
Sure enough, the economy is the first driving force for human action~~
The door of the round cheese house was opened a little wider. The mayor inside rubbed his nose, also seemed a little more energetic, and said, "What do you mean?" President Arrow, do you mean the same thing when you talk about making money as I understand it? ”
Arrow pulled the plan back and shook it in his hand: "That's what it means." What do you think? Would you be interested in hearing more about me? ”
————
Ten minutes later, Arrow was sitting on the couch in the mayor's office.
Even though it was winter, the room was still warm, with warm colors everywhere and doors and windows locked. It's just that as soon as he entered the door, Arrow felt the urge to take off his coat.
Soon, the mayor's wife brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of Arrow, who also changed into a casual home attire, but still wore a nightcap and sat in front of Arrow.
"President Arrow, what you call the opportunity to make money...... What is the meaning? ”
In the face of the question, Arrow smiled and stretched out a hand to ask the mayor not to speak: "Boss, what I am going to say next may be relatively long and complicated. So I hope you will try not to interrupt me and let me finish in one sitting, and I will try to explain to you what I have in mind. If there's anything you don't understand after I've finished speaking, how about asking me at that time? ”
Obviously, Round Cheese didn't quite understand such a proposal.
However, his trust in the Mermaid's Song, and his trust in Arrow, made the mayor willing to nod his head on the matter.
Seeing the round cheese nod, Arrow smiled even sweeter. He opened the plan in his hand, coughed slightly, and said—
"Mayor Round Cheese, according to tradition, every family in Pelican Town will lock themselves in their rooms as they do now when the snow falls, waiting for the next spring."
"To the north of Pelican Town is the Eternal Sleep Mountains, and to the south is a plain of small hillsides with Swan Castle. To the east is a sparkling forest, and to the west is a large lake. Although the natural scenery is beautiful, there is no development, and there is no manpower and material resources to develop. “
As a result, Pelican Town's economic resources are all dependent on the surrounding farms, and the spring, summer and autumn seasons of the year are relatively important because crops can be grown. But once it is winter, everything is in ruins, and Pelican Town itself does not have any special products and unique crafts, so there are no merchants to trade in the winter, and there is no other way to make money except for closing its doors. ”
"Similarly, Pelican Town itself doesn't have much entertainment. In the winter, the Unicorn Bar, the only entertainment spot in town, will largely stop serving alcohol. The reason is simple, there is no more stock. More stocks will also need to be used to cope with the busy farming season after the following spring. ”
"There's no entertainment, there's no industry, there's no commerce. This kind of approach is also an important factor in the industrial downturn and economic depression in Pelican Town. It's also the reason why once winter hits, the whole Pelican Town goes into hibernation. ”
"Hibernation isn't a bad thing."
"Less action, less communication, although such action will reduce all business activities to the freezing point, but for Pelican Town, which has no commercial action in the first place, it can save energy, save food, and reduce the consumption of resources. In previous years, it was indeed a very useful practice. ”
"But...... Mayor Round Cheese, have you ever wondered how much financial benefit it would be if Pelican suddenly had a large, multi-person entertainment that could last for two months? ”
Looking at the face of the mayor of round cheese, it is obvious that the mayor is already full of question marks and wants to ask.
But fortunately, he still remembered that he had promised Arrow, but he just puffed out his mouth and didn't ask after all.
Iroh was pleased with the mayor's self-control, nodded, and took out the contract signed by the giant mountain and the Soul Flame Guild yesterday from the materials, and placed it in front of Mayor Round Cheese.
"These two guilds are from Lagoon City, and they came to our guild not long ago due to some fortuitous factors. After my strong persuasion, the two guilds agreed amicably to hold a guild war in our pelican town. And the organizer of this guild war is in charge of my mermaid song. “
Round Cheese picked up the contract and looked it up and down, putting it down, he looked a little confused, and didn't seem to know what Arrow wanted to do.
But that's okay, Iero can explain it to the mayor of the town.
"Boss, have you ever seen a war between guilds? Or rather...... Have you ever seen a battle between a warrior and a thief, a fist mage and an archer, a mage and a mage? Those battles of sword and magic, strength and strategy, beautiful pictures that belong to legends alone? At the most basic level, have you ever wondered who will win and who will lose when you see a necromancer like our family's Coco and a powerful warrior like our family's Brad one day? ”
As the mayor of a remote town, he knows what the answer is without answering Arrow.
Just a few words of introduction, the face of the round cheese was already filled with excitement. Obviously, he is also very eager for this kind of battle scene.
Arrow smiled and continued, "This guild war is exactly such a battle, or rather...... It's a kind of entertainment. ”
"The Mountain and the Soul Flame Guild will have a famous guild showdown in our Pelican Town, and this duel will last up to two months! As far as I know, not only our Pelican Town, but also the nearby towns of Honglu and Kingfisher, and even Lagoon City itself, have very limited entertainment during the winter. At this time, there is suddenly a guild war that can be used to fill the entertainment activities of the whole winter, how much business opportunity is contained in this, boss, can you imagine? ”
Of course, round cheese can't be imagined, but it doesn't matter, Arrow can help him imagine.
"When the time comes, the whole Pelican town will be overcrowded, and people from these small towns in the vicinity will be rushing to see the battle. And when there are more people, business opportunities will come. ”
"So many people need accommodation, they need food, they need to talk, they need some place to chat in their free time. In this regard, we in Pelican Town will be able to get a lot of money for lodging, dining, and the use of leisure and entertainment venues at one time. This will be our town's first economic boost this winter! This is not a small amount, let me estimate, in two months, our town can probably net more than 1,000 gold coins just for the food and beverage expenses! ”
Catering, that's what this round cheese boss does.
Hearing that the restaurant industry was about to earn a thousand gold coins in one go, how could this boss not be excited?
Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly said, "President Arrow! What exactly should be done? How can we make a lot of money...... No, enriching the winter entertainment in our Pelican Town and surrounding towns?! ”
Arrow smiled, stretched out his hand to calm the mayor down again, and then said, "In order to be able to make this money, I need to get the support of the whole of Pelican Town. Boss, you heard it right, I need support from the whole Pelican Town. ”
"I need a lot of publicity staff, which means that we townspeople need to go to nearby towns and cities to promote our upcoming event."
"I also needed a lot of construction staff to help me build a temporary playing field on a vacant lot outside our town that would last for two months. It's best not to have an open-air venue, so you can play even in bad weather. ”
"I also need a very, very large number of people to help with the decoration, the postings, and the accommodation and food for the two guilds. I may need to requisition some uninhabited houses in our town, and I will need people to clean them. I also needed a lot of help with cutting clothes, arranging flowers, carving, etc., creating a festive atmosphere, building waterways and airways, and maintaining ventilation and water supply. All in all, I need manpower, and there is absolutely no way that our Mermaid Song guild can handle such a large number of people. So, boss, I really need the help of all the townsfolk in Pelican Town to help me complete this guild war together. ”
