Chapter 33: The Girl's Thoughts
Jiang Feng didn't deceive the half-elf lady, and after asking what he wanted to ask, he let her go.
Before leaving, Leia Winterro kept looking at him vigilantly, as if she was afraid that he would regret it. It wasn't until her figure melted into the corner of the alley that the sound of hurried footsteps quickly disappeared into the empty alley.
"Master."
"What's wrong?"
"Is it really okay to just let her go?" Touching his hairy head, the little white urn said angrily.
"Well, it's useless to keep her, it's a nuisance. Put your hat on, and we'll go. ”
After speaking, Jiang Feng turned around.
Reaching out and pulling the hood behind his back on his head, Xiao Bai hurriedly followed Jiang Feng's footsteps, and a master and a servant disappeared at the other end of the alley before the guards of the colony were attracted by the previous movement......
The inhabitants of these forests are undoubtedly a trouble for Jiang Feng, who lives in the North Island. In human cities, it's good to say, in the forest terrain, Xiaobai is afraid that it is not so easy to get it. Jiang Feng didn't want to offend the inhabitants of the forest because of this trivial matter, and at that time, he was afraid that in addition to the shelter and the shuttle, he would have to watch out for poisonous arrows from the shadows at all times.
Confirming that no one was following him anymore, Jiang Feng went to the Governor's Mansion while it was still early, where he met Du Wei, who had already returned from the port, that is, the agent he had hired with a salary of one thousand UBS per month.
Translated into the language of the Earth Federation, it is the professional manager.
However, the people of this world have obviously not developed to this extent in the field of finance, and even in a place where commerce is prosperous like a port city, the words banking, operation, and management are only vague concepts.
In the reception room, the waiter at the Governor's Palace poured a cup of black tea for the two.
Sitting opposite Jiang Feng, Du Wei said respectfully.
"Respected Wizard, I have prepared the supplies you need, and the Golden Lizard Merchant House will prepare all the goods to the port warehouse before sunrise tomorrow, and we only need to pay off the payment of 50,000 UBS before we can take the supplies from the warehouse. If you plan to transport these supplies to the North Island, you may need a galley. ”
"I've asked Captain Kalf about the ship, here is 100,000 UBS, you go to the port to hire some stevedores, and try to complete the loading and unloading of the cargo before noon tomorrow."
As he spoke, Jiang Feng handed a certificate with the steel seal of the Colonial Transaction Notary Office to Du Wei.
This type of certificate is different from a "bank card" issued by a transaction notary, but is a contract similar to a contractual nature. The person holding this certificate will be able to trade on behalf of the owner of the account, instead of using the account owner, using the funds in the account.
As for whether Du Wei would run away with the money, Jiang Feng was not worried at all. Not to mention that his current identity is a wizard, the laws of Port Sevit have existed for nearly a hundred years, and it will not be so easy for people to exploit loopholes.
First of all, except for the account owner himself, the money in the account can only be used for transactions and not for withdrawals. In addition, the personnel whose work involves the accounts of the Chamber of Commerce and the relevant positions entrusted by the fund management are restricted from leaving Hong Kong until the accounts are checked, which also eliminates the possibility of using their positions to make false accounts and cash out.
Of course, it is certain that there are defects in this management model, and to a large extent it does not depend on the perfect system, but on the credit of the operators themselves and the power and prestige of the capital.
After a while, when he is free, Jiang Feng will promote two more people, one person will be responsible for the budget, and the other will be responsible for account verification, so as to remove the control of finances from the management right. But now it seems that there is no need for this, after all, in this age of ignorance, witchcraft is more awesome than law.
"Yes, my lord." Du Wei said respectfully.
"Also, one more thing, you are looking for a property for me in Port Sevit, preferably three floors. Once you buy it, you can pick a room to use as your office. Remember to ask two servants to take care of the cleaning, I occasionally come here from the Wizard's Tower. Hopefully, when I come here, I can see a clean and tidy property. ”
"I understand what you mean, I'll take care of what you need. Regarding your future residence, are there any requirements for location other than the floor and environment? Writing down Jiang Feng's request in a notebook with a quill, Du Wei asked respectfully.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng spoke.
"It's better to be a short distance from the port and not particularly noisy nearby. As for the price, it's not an issue, if it's not enough, you can tell me. ”
Every time he came to Port Sevit, he lived in the baron's manor, which made Jiang Feng embarrassed. In order to have a place to stay when he occasionally came to Port Sevit, and to have a fixed place of work for the "professional manager" he hired, it was quite necessary for him to buy a property.
It just so happens that the port of Sevit has been in a bad economic situation recently, and the houses here should not be worth much.
As Baron Fred said, Du Wei's ability is indeed impeccable, Jiang Feng simply explained the task, and there was no need to say much about the details, he had already thought about it for himself.
After finishing the meeting with Du Wei, Jiang Feng saw that the sky was getting darker, so he returned to the baron's manor.
When he walked through the gate of the manor with Xiaobai, he saw that the wooden house against the wall of the manor had been razed to the ground. The servants in the manor seemed to have been warned by the baron, everyone kept their mouths shut, and Jiang Feng walked from the door to the garden in the center of the courtyard, and he didn't hear any voices talking about the murder last night.
It's clear that there's been a lot of uproar in the city.
As he walked through the garden, Jiang Feng noticed that Miss Delia was sitting on the edge of the fountain, her chin in her hands and her two white calves dangling back and forth under her skirt. The two delicate eyebrows seemed to be sullen.
It was the first time he had seen such an expression on her face.
"Ah, Wizard-sama."
Sensing Jiang Feng's gaze, Delia let out a small sigh, jumped down from the edge of the fountain, and stood in front of him, looking at this side with a blushing face.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng said softly.
"Wizard, are you leaving here tomorrow?" Delia asked in a whisper.
"That's right."
"Then, when is the next time you come back?"
"Maybe the day after tomorrow, maybe next year."
Listening to Jiang Feng's obviously perfunctory answer, a trace of disappointment appeared on the little girl's sentimental face. I saw her biting her lower lip and lowering her head slightly.
"You...... Do you hate me? ”
"Not annoying."
No, that's a bit of a problem.
It's not so much that it's not annoying, but it's better to say that it's not familiar at all.
Glancing at Delia inexplicably, Jiang Feng didn't understand why she would suddenly ask such a question.
It was clear that the girl was not satisfied with her answer and buried her head even lower.
Just as he was about to say something, Delia turned and ran away.
Looking at the girl's back, he was slightly stunned, and then Jiang Feng shook his head with a smile, and walked towards the direction of the main building of the manor with Xiaobai, who was touching the back of his head inexplicably.
For some reason, he vaguely felt something was wrong in his heart.
