Chapter 100: Partners

In the aftermath of this turmoil, Lucien began his own plan to make a fortune. Guan Mingyu has long been eyeing Lucien's investment project, so he is naturally prepared. The mess of Lucien and Felipe was soon over, the paper on synthetic urea had been published, and Mr. Arthur Doyle, president of the Holm Mining Union, was about to visit Lucien to discuss the mass production of urea.

After Guan Mingyu received a large grant from the Magic Council, he found some aristocratic investments, and lived a life of luxury and lasciviousness. But Guan Mingyu has no backstage, he is the most orthodox lone mage. Although the Magic Council rewarded him with a legendary magic, and Hathaway also gave him a legendary magic, he will soon be a legend of the third order or even the peak, but he is still lacking. These spells are hundreds of thousands of arcane points, and he is not prepared to exchange his own magic, so he must find a way to save money to exchange for legendary magic.

The little money that Duke James had allocated in advance was not enough at all, and he was too lazy to invest it himself, so the fastest way was, of course, to invest in the business that Lucian would invest in the future. The chemical industry, telephone and telegraph, these industries, but once the most profitable industries in the universe of the earth, do not multiply the money several times, just write the name upside down!

So on this day, he had already disposed of his miscellaneous and advanced property, and Duke James also had a heavy hemorrhage, and after collecting a total of 500,000 gold tales, he Shi Shiran walked into the magician management department. Of course, he could not have invested so much in this factory, and the rest of the money had to be left to the telephone and telegraph company. It was already the middle of 817, and in 819 the telephone and telegraph company was about to be established. There is not much time, and he may not have time to raise funds by then, and he is too lazy to make other small investments, so he will hand over the money to Duke James for him to operate. The total amount of investment in the fertilizer plant is about 200,000 gold tales.

When he walked into the Wizard's Management Department, it was Arthur Doyle, a wealthy man known as Holm, who had started drinking with Lucian. So he walked over, and Lucien quickly reacted, put down the drink in his hand and saluted, "Your Excellency Bond." ”

Arthur Doyle, as the wealthy man of the Kingdom of Holm and the president of the United Bank of Holm Mining, naturally knew that there was a new legendary magician in the Magic Council, and he was too young. Moreover, this legendary magician is from the Duke James family, which is a top powerhouse with power in both the kingdom and the Magic Council. At the first glance of Guan Mingyu, he almost bent his fat to the ground, and greeted him flatteringly: "Your Excellency Bond, you are the founder of life inheritance, life, and inheritance. At this time, the young girl Cindy saluted him respectfully.

Guan Mingyu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, just call Your Excellency." If you really don't have time, you can just call Bond. He continued to smile at the fat Arthur, "Mr. Doyle, Miss Cindy, you are okay too. ”

Arthur Doyle and Cindy were overjoyed, Your Excellency of Life Inheritance actually knew her, this is her own honor, the biggest talking point! Cindy, the little girl, jumped up with joy and said incoherently: "Your Excellency Bond actually knows me!"

Guan Mingyu didn't care about her, and said to Lucien: "Lucien, are you talking to Mr. Doyle?"

It's not a big secret either. Lucien thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, I'm discussing some cooperation with Mr. Doyle." ”

Guan Mingyu laughed: "If it's convenient, tell me about it, how about I mix it up too?"

Lucien and Arthur Doyle looked at each other and made a decision in an instant. This is a legend, a member of the Supreme Council, even if he is given a certain amount of shares for nothing, it is worth it!" Lucien hurriedly smiled: "It's nothing, some time ago I made a plan for large-scale synthesis of urea, and I think it is very feasible, so I am ready to invest in the urea synthesis industry with Mr. Doyle." ”

Arthur Doyle nodded repeatedly.

Guan Mingyu also asked Cindy to bring a glass of mango juice, thought about it and said, "I have read your paper on synthetic urea, which is very exciting." According to Mr. Baird, the results of your urea production increase test field are also very good, and it is of great value for comprehensive promotion. But can you show me your plan for large-scale urea synthesis? I need to assess your costs. ”

He then laughed: "I'm poor, and if the cost is too high, I can't afford to squander it." ”

Arthur Doyle's heart moved, this was a good opportunity to talk to the legend, but not too obviously, lest it backfire. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Excellency Bond, we have some shares that we are going to give away to the Magic Council, if you want, we can reduce our holdings ourselves and sell some of them to you at a reasonable price." ”

He didn't dare to say send, for fear that Guan Mingyu would hate such behavior. Of course, if he doesn't hate it, he naturally knows what a reasonable price means. Even if it is only given to one Jintale, as long as it is reasonable for these investors to say that it is reasonable, it is reasonable.

At this time, Lucien had already taken out the plan he had preliminarily sorted out and handed it to Guan Mingyu. Guan Mingyu took it and quickly completed the browsing, which was similar to the craftsmanship on the earth, except that many devices had become magic arrays. He thought for a while and said: "I took a look, your plan needs to be heated to more than 150 degrees to be dehydrated, and it also has to go through various follow-up procedures, and the energy consumption is very high, have you calculated the final approximate profit margin?"

Arthur Doyle laughed: "Your Excellency Bond, our Holm Mining Union Bank has connections with the mines of almost all the four countries of the Straits, and in the Kingdom of Holm, we have a large share of the mines, and we can obtain a lot of minerals at very good prices. We have had preliminary communication with the relevant mines, and His Royal Highness the Prince has also instructed this work, and we believe that the final profit margin should be more than 35%, or even close to 40%, and it is a very worthwhile investment. Of course, the upfront investment will be relatively large, which involves the recruitment of arcanists and magic apprentices, the construction of magic circles and the cost of site construction, etc. ”

Guan Mingyu rubbed his forehead, pondered for a while, and said, "In other words, the cost can be recovered in less than three years?

Arthur Doyle wiped his forehead, then thought for a moment and said, "We think it will have an impact, but it won't be too big in the short term." After this investment, we will communicate with the Council of Magic and Mr. Evans, the inventor, that the cost of royalties will be enough to give us an advantage for a while. ”

"Within the kingdom, we are also the only people who have the intention and relationship to invest on a large scale at present, and there should not be similar factories that follow the trend on a large scale in the near future. Of course, it may be three years later, when we start to pay dividends, and it cannot be ruled out that other forces will choose to invest in similar factories. But even if they were to build it, it would take one to two years to put it into production, which was enough time for us to build our own brand. ”

The Arcane Constellation world, like the Earth in the 19th century, already had a preliminary patent bill and brand awareness, and a preliminary understanding of the importance of patents and brands. And the Holm Mining Union Bank represents the inventor, Prince Holm and others, backed by the Magic Council, and there really will be no big problems.

Guan Mingyu thought for a while and nodded: "Mr. Doyle, if I want to invest in this factory for 200,000 gold tales, how many shares can you give up? Of course, you can discuss with other investors after you go back and answer." ”

Arthur Doyle was shocked and quickly completed the calculations. Guan Mingyu, as a legendary magician, a member of the Supreme Council, and a member of the Holm family, once he joins the investment, it represents a legend and a duke family standing behind him, and 200,000 gold talers are enough to get a huge stake. Of course, this also means that Lucien and the Magic Council's stake will be reduced to a very small amount.

He quickly calculated his answer, and after feeling that this answer could be approved by the other partners and Prince Patrick, he said cautiously: "Our current plan is to prepare to build three factories in the Kingdom of Holm, and we are discussing with the other three countries and the Northland Corridor to prepare to build four more factories, with a total investment of about 600,000 gold talers. If you invest 200,000 yuan, it is too large, and we can only accept your investment of 80,000 gold talers. Of course, you will get 25% of the shares. ”

Guan Mingyu smiled and nodded, 80,000 gold talers can get shares worth 200,000 gold talers, this favor is not small, and he can't be insatiable, otherwise his future investment reputation will be ruined. This price is really "reasonable", so he nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then invest 80,000." ”

Arthur Doyle also breathed a sigh of relief. In front of Guan Mingyu, he had to keep a clear head as much as possible, calculating the possible thoughts of his partners and the opinions of Prince Patrick, and also considering Guan Mingyu's attitude, so even if the time was short, it made him mentally tired. This is a legendary magician, and his will can directly affect reality!

Fortunately, Your Excellency Life Inheritance is very talkative. Even if you give up a quarter of the shares, I believe you can explain it to your partners and His Royal Highness the Prince.

So soon, as in the original book, he gave Lucian and the Magic Council 10% of each of the shares without Lucien's money, and then privately gave Lucian 3% of the shares in the name of Prince Patrick, and he and his interest groups received 52%, just able to control.

And Lucien is also quite polite, and he can bring a legend to stand behind him and get closer, even if he gives up about 10% of the shares. At this time, he was not the "atomic master" he later had, not even a student of Fernando, and it was more important than anything else to find a big backer. Guan Mingyu had a good impression of himself in Aalto, and he couldn't waste this good feeling.

So just like the original book, the three of them quickly signed a cooperation agreement, and after checking the magic array provided by Arthur Doyle, Guan Mingyu pointed out three suggestions for improvement according to the relevant equipment on the earth, and then the three of them left separately.

Guan Mingyu laughed as he walked: "Yes, my plan to make money has finally begun." ”
