"Master Jones, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here. Adolf had already walked over with a smile.

"yes, what a coincidence. The corners of Jones's mouth twitched slightly: "Did you also come in with the badge of Adair?"

"Adair's Medal?" Adolf smiled, "No, I'm a member of the House myself. ”

Well, sure enough, they are all very rich. It's as if the whole world is the only one who is not a member here. Oh no, and neither is my own dad.

Jones reluctantly took a deep breath.

"Even though I'm a member who has just joined. Adolf spread his hands and continued: "Actually, I don't have anything important to come over, I'm just idle, so come and walk around and make friends by the way." ”

"Running here to make friends?" Jones was stunned for a moment.

"Yes. Adolf turned to the side and looked in the direction of the coffee table he had just sat on.

A fat, mustachioed Blood-Clan sat on the edge of the coffee table and picked up a cup of tea, nodding to Adolf from afar, and then to Jones.

Jones nodded symbolically at him as well.

It's the kind of fat whose hands are like pig's trotters, and the whole body is covered with horizontal meat. The fat that the neck is invisible. Sitting on the couch is like a ball. Jones was skeptical that if the couch didn't have armrests, he would just roll off with an unsteady center of gravity.

To be honest, I've never seen such a fat bloodliner. Jones had always thought that only humans would look like this, and that the Bloods were all slim. After all, it's really not easy to drink blood to look like this.

And can he become a bat with such a stature and fly?

"Who is he?" Jones asked softly.

"He's Adair's cousin, and I happened to meet him when I came here today. So we chatted. ”

"Just chatting?"

"Yes. ”

"Oh. Jones's gaze widened, and he continued to sit quietly and wait. Thinking about his own ore.

Adolf was a little embarrassed: "You, don't you want me to sit down?"

"You want to sit down?"

"If it's inconvenient......"

"Oh no, convenient, please take a seat. Jones then reached out and made a "please" gesture.

Adolf's brow furrowed, but he sat still.

The whole living room was silent. The fat-blooded man was drinking tea alone, looking through the book in his hand, and he didn't know if it was a book or an account or something. In the distance, the people on the other coffee table chatted quietly, and occasionally there was a burst of laughter. It seems that it is also small talk, not business.

Well, although it is a place to talk about business, it seems that Jones is the only one who is serious about business.

Jones didn't say a word, and Adolf couldn't say anything, so he turned his face sideways and beckoned to the waiter in the distance.

The waiter quickly came over: "Sir, how can I help you?" ”

"Tea. ”

"Understood, are you the same as you were over there?"

"Yes, Scarlet Rose. As he spoke, Adolf turned his face to look at Jones: "What about Master Jones?"

"Huh?" Jones, who was immersed in his own world, was startled.

"I'm asking what tea you'd like to drink?"

"What tea? I don't drink much tea. Whatever. ”

Turning his face sideways, Adolf confessed to the waiter, "Be the same as me." ”

"Okay, please wait a minute. With that, the waiter walked away.

Jones frowned at Adolf, as if he hadn't recovered from his thoughts.

"Master Jones seems to have encountered something troublesome, can you tell me about it?"

"No, nothing. Jones shook his head slightly.

Well, I still can't chat. Adolf had a headache.

I waited silently for a long time, and finally someone pushed the door and walked in. It's a female blood.

High tied black hair, delicate face, blood-red eyes, a short red and black skirt, stepping on a pair of red high heels, holding a thick notebook in his hand, holding an inkwell, and a quill inserted.

Scanning around the living room, her gaze finally fell on Jones.

Seeing that Jones was also looking at her, she immediately walked towards Jones. came to Jones and saluted respectfully: "Hello, is it Young Master Jones?"

It's a fresh and pleasant sound.

"Yes, I am. ”

"I'm Patia, a business advisor to the Sambo family, and it's a pleasure to meet you. As she spoke, she glanced at Adolf on the side and asked softly, "Can I sit down?"

"Absolutely. As he spoke, Adolf snapped his fingers, looked at the attendant in the distance, and gestured toward Patia. Motioned for him to add a tea set.

The waiter nodded distantly.

Partia sat down across from Jones, then put down the inkwell, took the quill, and opened the thick notebook in her hand. The gesture was both respectful and capable.

"Master Jones, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I want to sell ore, ore from a gold mine. I have a gold mine, you know what I mean?"

"Hmm...... I see, you have a gold mine that mined ore. You need to find a market for your ore, right?"

"Yes. But I haven't sold before, so I need a consultant. ”

"It's a simple thing, and I think I can give you some good advice. Lowering her head, Patia recorded as she spoke, "What do you want to know?"

"Price. Jones replied without thinking.

"In terms of price, the ore in the gold mine is different from other ores, and each lot needs to be priced separately. ”

"In general?"

"Hmm...... There is no such thing as 'general'. ”

"Haven't you ever bought or sold gold ore?"

"No, I bought and sold. But there is no way to describe gold ore as 'general'. After all, the price of the same gold ore may be dozens of times worse, and it is possible to be hundreds of times. Do you have a sample?"

"Yes, I brought it!" Jones pulled out the small bag containing the ore and poured it on the table.

"Wait a minute. Patia reached out and took a piece of ore in her hand, closed her eyes, and recited a spell that Jones had never heard before.

Soon, a flash of light flashed through the ore.

Opening her eyes again, Patia whispered, "A thousandth of an ore, a very good ore." ”

"Really?" Jones was overjoyed, and immediately began to calculate: "One thousandth of a content, that is, a ton of gold has a kilogram." So it's about ...... Sixty-six gold coins? Can you sell sixty-six gold coins for a ton?"

"Hmm...... That's impossible. Partia said embarrassedly, "One ton of ore can indeed refine sixty-six gold coins of gold, and it may be more than that." But if you're going to sell ore, you'll only be able to sell it for fifty gold coins per ton. After all, refining also comes with a cost, and it's not cheap. ”

Fifty gold coins a ton, that's one hundred thousand gold coins, only two thousand tons? Two thousand tons, how many tons can a dwarf dig a day? That sounds like Jones will be able to pay off his debts very quickly. Not only can you pay off your debts, but you can also become as rich as Adair and Adolf!

At this moment, Joneston felt like his whole body was floating.

"Oh, yes, and shipping. I need to arrange transportation. ”

"Please give me the address of your castle. Patia handed the notebook to Jones.

Picking up the pen, Jones wrote down the coordinates of his castle in Patia's notebook, and then handed it back.

Taking the notebook and looking at it, Patia was stunned: "Master Jones, are you sure you want to sell ore?"

"Can't you sell it?"

"No, of course. But...... Transporting ore from your castle here will cost about forty-five gold coins per ton. ”

"So much?"

"Or maybe forty-eight gold coins. In fact, you should need at least a few gold coins per meal, so it would be a loss-making transaction. ”

All of a sudden, Jones looked at Patia blankly as if he had been drenched from head to toe with a basin of cold water, and his mouth opened wide.

Thankfully, heaven and hell are too close, right?

"I can help you make a new and more suitable solution. ”

"You say. ”

"I advise you to open your own gold refinery. If the refining can be done on site, the transport pressure will be very low. After all, with a thousand-fold reduction in weight, the cost of transportation can be reduced by at least a few hundred times. ”

"Big ...... How much does it cost? As long as it can be operated, a minimal refinery. Jones asked, blinking.

"Almost 200,000 gold coins, that's the minimum requirement. After all, it is refining gold, and the requirements are still relatively high. Patia smiled and asked, "Do you need me to contact the merchant who sells the refining equipment for you?"

"No, thank you. Jones replied with a blank face.

The atmosphere froze a little, and the surroundings were quiet.

Partia asked softly, "Is there anything else I can do to help you?"

"Can you help me borrow money?"

"Hmm...... Absolutely. ”

"Really?"

"Of course. You are holding the badge of Young Master Adar, and in the name of Young Master Adel, it is no problem to have at least five million gold coins. ”

"Borrowing money in Adair's name?"

"Yes. ”

"Can't you use my own name?"

"No, you are not yet a member of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Jones was completely silent, his brow furrowed tightly.

The waiter brought the tea, put it in front of the three people cup by cup, then saluted and left.

Patia took a sip from her teacup and looked at Jones silently.

Jones remained silent.

He was counting on opening a gold mine to pay off his debts, but now the situation is that he owes more and more. Are there any holes after that, and how many holes do you still have to fill?

Besides, it is not certain that the money can be borrowed or not.

Borrowing money in Adair's name? Jones couldn't do that.

Borrow another 200,000 gold coins from Adair? Jones couldn't do it either.

He was already worried about what to do if he couldn't pay the money.

While Jones was silent, Adolf, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly reached out and picked up one of the ores, holding it in his hand and playing with it.

"Master Jones, why don't I pay to build a refinery with you?"

"You're paying?" Jones hurriedly looked over to Adolphus.

"Yes, I'll pay for it. Of course, the money earned belongs to me. We're just working together. Adolf whispered, "I also want to find new business, and that's what I'm here for." It just so happens that Master Jones has a business in you, which sounds pretty good. It's just that there is a lack of money. I wonder if you'd like to give me a chance to work with you?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, but you have to give me a little favor. For example, the ore is slightly cheaper, how about forty-five gold coins a ton?"

"Of course!" Jones was overjoyed and his eyes widened.

"I'm afraid not, sir. On the other side, Patia quickly calculated, and said as she calculated: "If a refinery can be built locally, the transportation cost of ore can indeed be reduced to a minimum, and the transportation cost of gold is almost negligible." However, refining materials also requires transportation costs. Your actual refining cost, one ton should be ...... Twenty-six gold coins. ”

"Then thirty-five gold coins a ton, is that okay? leave me five gold coins for profit. ”

"Yes!" replied Jones, without thinking.

Patia gave Adolf a meaningful look, put down the pen in her hand, and stopped talking.

The profit of five gold coins almost means that the investment cost will never be recovered. It's actually a loss-making business.

......

It was probably Jones' second happiest day in recent times.

What was the first day of happiness? Of course, the day he took out a loan to buy the castle, although after a few hours he was not very happy.

When he left the Chamber of Commerce, Jones was almost floating away.

Is the dust settled?

Open mines, sell ores. If the refinery is its own, then there may be many, many things to come, and it is difficult to say whether it will be a profit or a loss. But if the refinery is not his own, then Jones's task seems to end in selling ore. Once Adolf invests in the opening of the refinery, it means that Jones no longer needs to worry about what happens next, and can happily lie down and count the money!

When he returned to the castle, Jones hugged Dora and was so excited that he almost cried.

"I'm so happy. ”

"Master Jones...... Are you alright?"

"It's fine. Adolf is ready to invest in a refinery with us, so that all problems can be solved. ”

"Adolf?"

"Adair's friend, a very rich fellow. ”

Dora blinked at Jones.

After a pause, Jones then explained, "I'm not just happy that there's a refinery, but also because Adolphus is here. This means that we will never be stumped with money again. All problems will be solved!"

Dora smiled with relief, "That's great. ”

Jones said solemnly, "I swear I will never touch any other business until the gold mine is on track." No business touched. Just concentrate on running the gold mine. ”

As he spoke, Jones hugged Dora tightly and excitedly.

......

At this moment, the castle of the House of Adair.

The butler walked up to Adair and handed over a document. He said softly: "Young Master, Young Master Adolf's identity has been investigated. At least half of the resume he said was fake. ”

Adair's pen paused, as he was writing a letter.
