Chapter 30: A New Plan (3)
Under the blank eyes of the mustache manager, Jones and Adair left the blacksmith's shop.
Before you know it, light snow has begun to fall, and the little snowflakes fall on the dark ground, as if painting the earth with a layer of gray paint. It feels barren and cold.
The wheels "gurgled" and the carriages walked through the empty streets, weaving through the crowds.
In the carriage, Adair glanced at Jones and asked softly, "Do you want to do business in the human kingdom?"
"There was an idea, but it wasn't sure yet. Jones replied casually.
Looking out the car window, Adair nodded silently and said, "Indeed, there is one thing that the family is inferior to yours no matter how many years it has been in business - the relationship with the Silver Moon Knights and the various human realms. If the order we can't get, if it's you, it should be easy to get as long as the price is reasonable. You're too far from the port to get around, but who's to say you have to forge in Serpent? In that case, the price will be advantageous. ”
Jones looked at Adair, "But I'm not sure if they're willing to give me the order, I'll have to ask first." ”
Turning his face to Jones, Adair said, "Let's go together." ”
"Partnership?"
"Yes, partnership. "You lack money, and I have money, at least enough money to run a blacksmith shop." And the Sambo family's blacksmith shop is running so badly that I can take it over right away. This way the cost will be low. This business can be done. ”
Jones was stunned: "Do you want to make money too?"
"Of course. Why? Don't you want me to make money?"
"No, it's just...... You're already rich. And you don't seem to care about money. ”
Adair sighed helplessly and said with a smile: "The family's money is only in charge of me until I reach adulthood, and when I become an adult, I will have to take care of myself." I have to have my own business. And who has too much money? How about it?
"Yes. Jones hesitated and said, "But I'll have to make sure if they're willing to give me the order." After all, I never asked them. ”
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news. Adair grinned and said, "There is also transportation." You have to believe that being a member of the Sambo family will be very convenient in business. ”
Jones nodded.
Smelting in Heard? That's exactly what Jones just thought. Jones is in dire need of income right now, and all sorts of income have to be considered.
Smelting in Hilde and then selling it to the human kingdom can solve the problem of the difficulty of external transportation in Giant Snake City, and it is also a financial route to explore by using its own conditions. It wasn't easy for other Bloodlines to grab this business.
Originally, this could only be regarded as a long-term plan. After all, Jones didn't have enough people. Now all the people under his command are ready for the gold mine. If you buy more dwarves, Jones can't afford it now.
However, if Adair joins, it will be a different matter. Directly take over the half-dead blacksmith shop of the Sambo family, and in this case, the initial cost will be very low. It will be a good income that can be obtained in the early days.
After all, the main cost of the blacksmith shop is actually the salary of the Bloodline, which Jones did not expect. If you look at it this way, using slaves is not necessarily cheap.
Thinking about it, Jones suddenly laughed.
"What's wrong?" asked Adair.
"I suddenly felt like I had become a money addict, and I just wanted to make money. Jones replied.
"That's good, isn't it? Only a blood clan like this can become a great lord. If you don't like money, how can money come to you? My father didn't like me, and he always wanted to spend money instead of making money. After a pause, Adair stared at the empty front, his eyes suddenly helpless. He continued: "Actually, there was a time when I wanted to make money, and that was more than ten years ago. However...... Hehehehe, I envy you. I know you want to prove it to your father, and I'll support you. This standard is not high, more than your father's property, if not yet your father's approval, then more than ten. It can be done. And I'm ...... It was extremely difficult for me to even live up to my father's standards. The money I made was about equal to nothing in his eyes. It seems that the only way to do things for him is to do things. It's like a few children playing with mud, he doesn't care if the mud is pinched well or not. So, now I don't care too much. ”
This is probably the pain of a child whose father is too strong.
The starting point is too high, and the requirements are extremely high. If you can't do it, you're a failure.
Jones whispered, "If I could, you would." ”
"Hopefully. Adair smiled helplessly.
Jones didn't know how much property Adair's father had. As you can imagine, there should be a lot. Maybe it's 100 million gold coins, maybe it's hundreds of millions. In short, it must be an astronomical amount. Therefore, the words "must be possible", to be honest, can only be a comfort.
The Bloodline's long lifespan and penchant for luxury and business have allowed them to accumulate even more wealth than dragons, and even a poor acid lord like Jones's father would be a duke or more in the human world. What's more, there are countless lords of the blood clan.
In times when there is no war, having wealth is the most effective way for a Bloodline to prove itself. And for the big country arms trade, which is popular for human beings, for the blood clan, it is actually just a good business. It's like a gold mine. A gold mine is enough to drive any human crazy, and nothing more than that for the Bloodline.
In a swaying way, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the Hild Chamber of Commerce.
If Jones had been alone, he would have flown over as a bat. However, Adair is status-conscious, so they can only ride in a carriage pulled by a unicorn.
As soon as the car stopped at the door, two Blood Clan guards immediately stepped forward to help them open the door.
"Welcome, Master Adair. ”
Nodding, Adair dismounted, and Jones followed closely behind him.
Before they could enter, several Blood Advisors had already appeared in front of them, all of them coming for Adair. One after another, other clans arrived.
"Young Master Adair, I didn't expect you to come. It's ......"
"The ledger was delivered directly to my house, and I wasn't going to look at it here. I have other things to do today, thanks. ”
"Yes, Master Adair. ”
......
"Young Master Adair, welcome. Just when you came over, Mr. Epicus asked me to ask you......"
"I'll talk about that later, come to my house. Today I rest. ”
"Okay, I see, Master Adair. ”
......
"Master Adair, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Not yet, thank you. ”
"Okay, if you need to say anything, I'm right by the side. ”
From the moment he got off the carriage to the gate of the Sambo family's parlor, a large circle of people had already gathered around Adel.
The messenger was about to open the door for Adair, but Adair reached out to stop him.
Turning his head, he looked at the circle of blood clans following him and whispered, "I have something to do today, a private matter, don't follow me, okay? ”
"Yes, Master Adair. ”
"Have a good time, Master Adair. ”
A large circle of blood clans dispersed, looking back as they walked.
Jones whispered, "Didn't you say you almost never came here? ”
Adair replied softly, "These are the Sambo family's exclusive business advisors. ”
"All of them?"
"Yes, all of them. They have different areas of specialization. Usually I don't come, but they come to the castle to look for me. If anything. With that, Adair straightened his clothes and looked at the waiter beside him: "Open the door." ”
The waiter nodded, then twisted the handle, pushed the door open, and stepped aside.
In the distance, Jones saw Adolf sitting in the parlor and Patia sitting next to Adolf.
Seeing Adair, the two quickly stood up and saluted respectfully.
Adair waved his hand and walked over with Jones.
Adolf smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come, Young Master Adair, I just found out when Patia talked about it." ”
"I introduced you to each other, how can I not know about your cooperation?" said Adair, who had already sat down on the couch opposite Adolf. Looking at Adolf, Adair smiled and said, "Moreover, Jones is still my most important brother. I can't let him suffer your loss. ”
"How is this possible? Master Adair should have faith in your friend. With that, Adolf sat down.
Patia nodded, and sat down as well.
Jones, as for him, sat between them.
The whole process went very smoothly.
Jones thought that Adolf would come up with a full plan, but in fact, there was nothing but money. The plan was even given by Patia, and it was very brief. It's as if he hasn't done anything in a week.
If Adolf didn't do anything for the whole week, then why delay it for a week?
Of course, it doesn't matter. After all, the main thing is that the money is in place.
Adolf asked directly: "I am only responsible for paying the money, and how about you arrange the rest, Young Master Jones?"
"I'm afraid that's not good. Adair reminded from the side, "Strictly speaking, Patia actually represents Jones. Now that he has used Patia's plan, he has to give the money to Jones to carry it out...... This is a business problem. ”
"But I've been busy lately. Adolf spread his hands and said, "Young Master Jones's affairs seem to be in a hurry, and there is obviously no way to wait until I am free to do it." Moreover, I trust him. ”
Adair shook his head, "Even if you trust him, he doesn't have time. He has many other things to do. ”
"Just let me do it. Jones suddenly interjected, "I'm just starting to learn how to do business, and doing more things will help me." But...... If I make a mistake, don't be angry. After all, I don't have the money to pay you. ”
Hearing this, Adell was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, that's good for you. ”
"I should thank you!"
Adolf and Jones shook hands.
Adair on the side touched his chin, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face was full of doubt.
