Chapter 197: Business Wizard III
Hearing that reason, Bivis was really silent. ☆☆ The new 'thinking' road 'Chinese 'text' net' starts with a hand-hit ☆☆
Because he had no way, nor did he have the right to judge whether Shen Yan's reasons were right or wrong, he could only report to Lord Nasher for a decision.
From his heart, Beavis expected that to be right.
Why? Because the "Nine Guards of Winterlessness", except for Shen Yan, who is unreliable, are all famous people in Neverwinter City.
Sometimes you don't even know that he is the "Nine Guards of Winterless" (like Shen Yan is the first to come out directly in uniform), but each of them is a hero. Some have contributed decades to Neverwinter, some have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, and even Erebeth was once a member of the "Neverwinter Nine" - giving these people some privileges is a matter of course!
You can't spoil a pot of soup just because of a mouse droppings, right?
Why are those nobles of Waterdeep able able to rise above without doing anything, while those who defend Neverwinter with their lives will not die well!
That's not right!
So Bivis thought for a while and left in silence, and Shen Yan also went back to the house to change his clothes and continue to direct the decoration, as if this incident had never happened.
*****
When Lord Nasher received the feedback from Bivis, he was also confused......
In fact, what Shen Yan said was not wrong at all, he meant that at the beginning - at that time, in order to fight against the noble group of Deep Water City who occupied all the key positions, he had to elevate this group of old fellows to the same position as them, so that a direct confrontation and conflict could be formed to reduce the pressure on him......
This is an unspeakable calculation.
But to say that he gave the old lads tax exemption because of this...... Hehe, it's just thinking too much.
Because the matter is very clear, "Winterless Nine Guards" is a title, and all that is given is "no need to salute when you see a nobleman", "not to be summoned", "go straight to the Blue Palace" and other "benefits" without cost, and nothing that really involves interests!
Even the money earned by the old guys who opened moonstone masks and ran boats had to spend a large part of it to supplement Nasher's spy agency.
Over the years, Nasher never promised anything, and the old lads never asked for anything......
But now Shen Yan has made the "tax exemption" clear!
Now, to Nasher's chagrin, the old lads don't mention it, but do they really not want those privileges? How can it be! But what kind of "Winterless Nine Guards" is really given? Directly divide the nobles, because what is the difference between that and the nobles? That was Nasher's death hole.
But even so, does Nasher dare to deny it?
- It was not a law that established the status of the "Nine Guards of Winterlessness" at the beginning, but only a lord's decree, and he could completely ban it on the grounds of "time has passed". But he really dared to do this, I'm afraid it would chill the hearts of the old guys! Now the old guys are not the same as they used to be, everyone is rooted in one industry, deeply rooted and flourishing. If their combined forces were on opposite sides, Nasher would have to sleep with his eyes open.
So Nasher understood very well, and he didn't dare to deny it!
"It's terrible, I can't go in or out? It was just a temptation, how did I get myself to this point? Is this a calculation or a crooked attack? Nasher knocked on the arm of his chair and said to himself with a headache, "Yalvis, you said that the day before yesterday I appointed Erebes' younger brother as the Winterless Nine...... Isn't it too rash? ”
Imprudent of course...... But this is not a problem, but regret.
"Your Excellency, maybe you don't have to worry so much." Yalvis was relieved.
Nasher tilted his head and listened carefully. "Why?"
"Hehe, with your years of experience in managing business, what do you think is the probability of success in this kind of child-like business?" Jarvis chuckled and explained, "Tax exemption is just right, so you should give Erebes a favor." If you collect taxes...... I also doubt that there is really a tax to be collected.
And when the children lose their money, maybe they will be blamed on taxes, so why bother. ”
"That's right." Nasher pondered on his own, and he was relaxed. As a lord of a commercial port city, he was not short of business acumen. Shen Yan can vaguely figure it out, but it's too idealistic! No matter how you think about it, you can't succeed.
In this case, only a small part of the tax revenue from the property transaction is lost, and there is not much money.
When Shen Yan lost a lot, the old guys' minds faded, just the best of both worlds.
As for why Shen Yan and Erebes suddenly had endless money, it can only be said that there are too many channels for money in this world, and it is not limited to business. For example, digging up elven treasures, robbing Ilminster, slaughtering an adult dragon, or something...... It's all super fast!
But Nasher changed his mind, still not feeling very relieved.
"Why don't we wait for him to open and have a sneak peek? I heard that I need an acquaintance to recommend you to enter the door, Yalvis, you can help me get two invitations...... The kind that wants to hide your identity. ”
*****
Beavis didn't say anything when he returned to the city guard, and Erebeth didn't ask.
The days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the official opening of the store.
There has been an eerie calm in Neverwinter these days, and I don't know how many people are quietly staring at this new store......
"Are we like this...... Too conspicuous? Nasher turned to his chief of staff. I saw that the street in front of the new store was empty, and the two people who hid their heads and tails looked at me, and I looked at you, and the thieves were embarrassed.
You still have the face to ask me? Jarvis rolled his eyes at him. I said you don't want to come and you have to come and see, why are you so curious? Just look at it, why do you have to disguise it...... Why don't you wear women's clothes!
Jarvis complained in his heart.
Fortunately, before I came, I was most afraid of meeting acquaintances, but now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief...... Because there's no one here!
I knew that the new store was opened, but I didn't know that I thought this street was haunted!
Nasher was also in pain, as he had heard that although it was his brother's new store that had opened, Erebeth was still at work as usual. Bivis gave her a quick reminder, but Erebeth replied, "I can't afford anything he has, what am I going to do?" ”
Why don't you send a flower basket...... But in Erebes's mind, there was no such concept as a show.
For some reason, Vanswijk didn't come or recommend others to cheer, so this scene appeared.
……
After Shen Yan's new store was renovated, he may have felt that the bar was too low, and the line of words about tax exemption in front of the door was erased. In addition, "distant Towcent" also left only the word "Towcent", which is simply confusing.
The door of the store is closed, and it is still a black pure steel door!
At the door, there was a big barbarian man from the Northlands looking at the gate - the kind that could run horses on his arms and stand on his fists, with two big teeth and a fierce expression!
Are you opening a store or a B society......
As the saying goes, "oranges don't stand under dangerous walls", everyone has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Seeing that this store is so weird, pedestrians have taken a detour, and the result is this sense of déjà vu of thousands of empty alleys.
Nasher and Yalves were in the middle of the wind, they expected that Shen Yan's new store business would not be good, but they didn't expect it to be "bad" to this extent.
"Hey! Look at it, just say you two! The barbarian man at the door suddenly roared, and they were frightened. Sneaky ...... Do you go in or don't you go in? Hurry up if you want to get in! Don't grind around at the door. ”
"Enter? Then ...... Let's go in. Nasher felt a little embarrassed, he was just scared by that voice purely because of his weak heart, and with his strength, he would not take a level 10+ barbarian in his eyes.
Seeing the heavy black iron door sliding open silently in front of them, both of them suddenly felt amazed.
"Is it lubricated with whale oil?"
"No, the door shaft of the Blue Palace is made of whale oil, and I don't dare to sleep every day if the door is not closed, and I will be woken up if I fall asleep anyway."
Involuntarily, the sense of anticipation was raised.
Inside the iron door was a cloakroom, and two new attendants stood in front of the wooden door leading to the interior. This design is to avoid people on the street from seeing the interior, guaranteeing privacy. "It's a monster, it's powerful." Stepping on the fur of an unknown magical beast under their feet, the sense of anticipation of the two was raised again.
Waiting for the iron door behind him to quietly close, the waiter pushed open the wooden door in front of the two.
Warm breath and bright light come to your face.
