Chapter 186 Shareholding
It was already the next day after Rollin returned to Brandon, and Charlotte left a letter at the inn saying that she had been invited by Her Royal Highness the princess to be by her side for a few days.
Although Luo Ming didn't think she was smarter than the little fox, maybe people were just looking for an excuse to get close to their girlfriends, or gather a large group of staff to play brainstorming.
In any case, she won't be back for the next two days anyway.
If you stay in the inn, you can only teach swordsmanship—but those disciples had gone out with Luo Ming to kill the gnolls once, and he had already announced that he had taken two days off to recuperate.
Not only to restore physical strength and heal wounds, but also to digest the matter of killing the gnolls and cutting off their heads, and to regulate the mood.
To be honest, even when Luo Ming went to save his first friend and life-saving benefactor in this world, Lis, he killed a few people, and it was only because his chest was full of anger at that time, and then he signed a contract with His Highness Black Sun A series of unexpected events diluted the impact of the first killing.
So, he stayed idle in the hotel for a long time.
Drinking tea and chatting with Grant once in a while, this kind of leisurely life seems to be quite good.
But by the afternoon, he was already fidgeting...... I guess I'm really different from before.
He spent so many years on Earth in the past. But that's because there are mobile phones and computers on the earth, and he can continue to practice martial arts when he is tired of playing - but for him at present, the use of a day or two of water grinding for martial arts training is extremely limited.
So, Luo Ming decided to go to the two friends he had just made before.
When he asked, he found that Hendrik was still on a mission and had not returned.
Elo is here, but his friendship with Luo Ming is relatively shallow, and the simple two of them go out to drink and chat, even if they add Granty, it is actually not very interesting, it is estimated that it is difficult to have too many things to talk about, and it will be cold.
Luo Ming thought about it, and simply seized this opportunity to negotiate a deal with Elo.
"The Bagrati family has been on the borders of the principality for hundreds of years, and you must have seen real orcs, Brother Elo, right?"
"Of course, but why do you ask me this?" Elo looked at Luo Ming suspiciously, unable to understand what he meant.
Although Eylau was regarded as a symbol of cunning or cunning in his family, and his IQ seemed to be outstanding in the whole family, he grew up in a place where most people were full of muscles, and although he had a good brain, he had not been trained too much.
Since I suffered a loss last time, I have been cautious in talking to Luo Ming, for fear of falling into his trap.
"I recently exterminated a litter of gnolls and cut off their heads, wondering if I could sell them for some money. ”
Luo Ming laughed: "Haven't you seen real orcs? Then help my brother and dress up those heads, they look like real orcs in the tribe, so that they will definitely be sold very expensive." ”
"Can that thing be sold?" Elo's eyes widened.
"Of course!" Luo Ming leaned in and whispered to him, "On your side, those who can kill orcs are considered heroes and heroes, and they are admired, right?"
In fact, even in the principality, it is almost the same, after all, there has not been peace anywhere for more than twenty years, and if anyone can take out the heads of a few orcs and say that they were killed by his own hands, they must have a lot of face.
There are so many nobles, not everyone is superb in martial arts, they want to brag, and they don't want to practice martial arts, so they just buy a few orc heads to fill up!"
"Hmm...... You're a genius!" Elo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly screamed and slapped Luo Ming on the shoulder.
Fortunately, Luo Ming is now a swordsman, otherwise he would have been injured...... He showed a stiff smile, and kept silently thinking in his heart that it was important to make money, and he didn't bother with this rammer.
Elo muttered to himself: "Hurry up and write a letter to Daddy, let him get some heads, it will take more than three days to transport it, what kind of embalming is used......
Luo Ming unceremoniously drank all the ale in the cup, and then smashed the huge wooden wine glass on his head: "Don't rush your own business first, help me solve the batch of heads I have first!"
A sturdy blow to his head made Elou angry, but he immediately remembered how Luo Ming had defeated him so easily, and that anger disappeared as if he had been splashed with a bathtub of water.
Besides, Luo Ming is actually pointing out a way to make money to him now, which means that he owes him a big favor.
After thinking for a while, he said to Luo Ming: "In that case, you might as well sell those gnolls to me directly, I can just get some more genuine orc heads from the family territory and sell them together." ”
"Yes, but I have to put it another way: these gnolls' heads, even if I have a stake. Since Eyrau himself had the idea of selling orc heads, Romin immediately changed his mind.
"What does that mean?" was clearly not entirely clear about the businessman's terminology.
"There's a principal to open a store, you always know. Some people open a store, they only have 900 gold coins, and they ask others to borrow 100 gold coins to buy shares. Then he himself has nine shares, and others have one. When the store makes money, it divides the money according to the amount of shares. Luo Ming explained the concept of shareholding to Elou in a superficial way, he was not a fool after all, and it didn't take long to figure out the meaning of shareholding.
"It's hard for you to provide the head of the jackal in the future, so if you buy shares, I'll have to give you money all the time in the future, isn't it a loss?"
"If you think so, I'll immediately go and open my own shop, sell the heads of the jackals, and then find someone else to buy a batch of orc heads, don't think that your family is a border nobleman and can provide orc heads.
Since you can't monopolize the supply of goods, then naturally whoever opens the store first and lets people know about this signboard will be more advantageous, and when your batch of orc heads arrives, my side has already made a reputation, and it will be much more difficult for you to run this business at that time. ”
Login unceremoniously threatened - in fact, such a threat would not damage the "friendship" in the slightest.
True friendship was rare for the precocious children of the aristocracy, and it was often mixed with interests. The so-called "friendship" between Elo and Luo Ming is exactly like this, at first it was just two young talents who wanted to build a good relationship and deliberately colluded with each other.
Now, since Luo Ming is still willing to invest in opening this store with him and making money together, with this kind of interest, their friendship is unbreakable.
