Chapter 68: The villain just likes to have a Hongmen banquet
In fact, about the matter of early payment, Shelley himself knows that it is very inauthentic in this world.
In a previous life, if you didn't have any money in your hand, you should have borrowed money from a bank. Then use the bank's money to make products, sell the products to customers, and then take the money to pay back to the bank in monthly installments, leaving the difference in price. In the long run, there will be more and more money in your pocket.
But there are no banks in this world, only private loan sharks everywhere. Shelley also had no choice but to use this method to get money from the customer first.
Fortunately, my own things are really available, so compared to saying that I am asking for money, it is actually closer to the customer taking the initiative to submit a deposit, but this deposit is the full amount.
The delivery time that Shelley signed with them was a month later, which was the time that Shelley calculated based on the current production speed and production volume.
Counting the honey that Shelley brought out this time, they now have to give Shelley a total of 5,000 gold coins, which is a huge amount of money, which is equivalent to more than half a year's tax revenue in the entire border state.
In fact, whether it is the cost of production or the cost of personnel, Shelley does not need so much money. But who made things only she could get out. With this money, she can not only produce excess products, but also have more spare energy to support Payne's military activities.
That's not all, the dividends generated after the sale of things will be a very considerable income. Silk, which is unique to Shelley, is divided into five cents. As for the spices that are already on the market, they are divided into seven or three points, as long as they can squeeze the nobles out of the market.
But even Barbie and these merchants couldn't see Shelley's true purpose.
Selling? No, no, no, it's just a temporary enrichment. What Shelley really has to do is to hold on to the lifeblood of the entire economy, and then he will have to move as much as he wants.
Although doing so is tantamount to monopolizing the market. But only in this way can Shelley better drive the economy and let everyone have money in their pockets. When the people become richer, they can better cooperate with themselves.
After everything was negotiated, Barbie promised that the payment would be ready for delivery the next day. Shelley, who wanted to have dinner with them, received an invitation from the Duke of Poca at this time. Seeing the invitation, Barbie said they had also received it before they left the house in the morning.
It was an invitation to visit the Battle of the Beasts, and it came with an admission ticket.
The so-called Battle of the Beasts is what Owen has said, and it is a ring specially for the powerful and rich to watch. There are all kinds of scenes in it, there are fights between superpowers, there are fights between monsters, and many of them are melee between humans and beasts.
The magnates would bet in advance to see which side to win, which was a very high-class pastime for them. Even if there is death in the fight, it is only a spice for their fun.
"The last one was given to me, it seems that it was deliberately targeted."
Indeed, there is a special message to Shelley on the above, that is, the previous tax issue will be discussed after watching the Battle of the Beasts. This is clearly forcing her to go.
Barbie and the others now knew about the contradictions between Shelley and these magnates, so they all persuaded them.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I see that he is clearly holding back the bad water, he doesn't know the wealth in your hands now, and you don't need to be uncomfortable looking for a mere thirty gold coins now."
For Barbie's indignation, Shelley seemed very calm. Because at this time, she noticed that the invitation contained several rules and regulations for watching the Battle of the Beasts.
"Several, I won't accompany you for dinner, but I hope you can do me a favor when I have something......
"Speak, please."
"Can you get me another ticket to watch the Battle of the Beasts?"
Barbie smiled lightly: "What should I do, this is too easy to do." ”
As she spoke, she took out a black metal card and handed it to Shelley. fifth
"What is this?"
"Our VIP card of the World Chamber of Commerce, with this card, even if you don't have a ticket, you can enter directly. There is also our exclusive viewing seat in the Special Administrative Region. ”
"I see, that's good, I'll borrow this and return it to you afterwards."
Barbie shook her head and said with a smile: "It's just a card, as a symbol of friendship, I should give it to you." ”
"Okay, thank you."
Shelley was not hypocritical and took the card away. After sending everyone away, she changed into warm clothes and went to the park where the spring was located.
“…… That's the thing, I've got it done at the Dirty Slave Exchange, you don't have to worry about it. ”
"That's great, I've already informed some people on my side, and they've all offered to go to you. It's just that this preparation time may not be enough. ”
After all, there are only two or three days, and it is difficult to even notify everyone.
"It's okay, it's not like I'm not coming in the future. If you can't catch up this time, let's catch up next time. ”
With that, Shelley handed him the ticket that Duke Poka had sent him.
"Isn't this a ticket to the Colosseum, Your Highness Princess?"
"I want to ask you to do me a favor, someone wants to give me a black hand in this beast battle, I need a bodyguard who is strong and not afraid of the holy stone, and it is only you who thinks about it."
No matter what the Duke of Poka did, he must not be at ease. Based on this premise, Shelley immediately sensed that something was wrong after reading the rules of the Battle of the Beasts.
Watching the battle of the beasts can be bets to buy win or lose, and there are many battles between superpowers. In order to prevent any spectators from deliberately influencing the superpowers in the venue, those who have holy stones on their bodies must be handed over to the organizer for temporary storage before entering the venue. No one at the site can have a sacred stone except for the security personnel.
This made Shelley realize that the Duke of Pokata was most likely trying to use the superpowers to kill him. So I found the spring, this existence with the blood of the wolf demon clan.
Izumi hesitated, but finally accepted the admission ticket.
"I can only protect you with a wolf shadow clone, because if my power is exposed, the humans will not let me go."
"That's enough, all I need is for you to monitor if any superpowers are near me. After all, on the surface, they won't be so obvious. ”
With his reply, Shelley felt much more relieved.
"By the way, Your Highness Princess, I just want to ask, what about those superpowers in this Colosseum?"
Unlike the Dirty Slave Exchange and the Superpowers who hid, the Superpowers in the Colosseum had the largest number of casualties, and it can be said that every battle was either killed or wounded.
But there is no good way to save them. Because these superpowers are all those who have paid for them from the Dirty Slave Exchange.
"Well, your worries are not unreasonable, don't worry, I already have a way to save them."
