Chapter 34: Doubts
"Mr. Raven. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mi Xin hesitated for a moment before asking, "I don't understand your question a little, do you think I have hired too many escorts, a little ...... Well...... Want to cover it up?"
"I don't mean to hide that I'm still a newcomer in the mercenary profession, and I don't know a lot of things. "But I always felt that while these thirty wagons of cargo were indeed very expensive, it was not worth hiring so many mercenaries to escort them. I calculated for myself on the way, the hiring cost of all mercenaries, of course, is the figure after deducting our five surcharges, at least the profit of your trip will be diluted by one-third, and maybe even one-half, any experienced businessman will probably not do this. ”
"If something is abnormal, you would rather suffer such a high loss of profits than hire a large number of mercenaries, there must be other ulterior reasons, and this reason will bring you enough benefits to make you willing to pay for the cost of a large number of mercenaries. ”
"It should be said that this is a very normal way of thinking, and after discovering the anomaly, most people will be so suspicious. Seeing that you have done so much secrecy work before, just to minimize the possibility of getting into trouble, but once the number of mercenaries arouses the suspicion of others, then haven't you done all your secrecy work in vain?"
"Looks like Mr. Raven used to run a caravan before. Mi Xin didn't answer the crow's question directly, but stared at the crow with interest for a while, and said with a smile, "I'm quite familiar with the profits of goods and the expenses of hiring mercenaries. ”
"Hehe, sort of. The crow squinted and chuckled, "Knowing a little." ”
"The first thing I thought was to calculate the profit, which is not like knowing a little bit about it. Mi Xin looked at the other mercenaries who were a little stunned by the crow's words, and said with a smile, "The calculation is very accurate, but you can rest assured that the problem you are concerned about is not abnormal, at least for Huashan City, it is not abnormal, and for my caravan, it is not considered abnormal." ”
"Hmm, I see. The crow pushed his glasses and nodded thoughtfully, "Is it because of the particularity of Huashan City's industry?"
"Yes, it is estimated that your caravan was relatively far away and had no contact with Huashan City, so you don't know much about this city, and you don't know how important these goods are to Huashan City. Mi Xin patiently explained, "Five times, these goods are transported to Huashan City, which can be converted into five times the profit within a year, and if the goods go wrong, Huashan City will not only lose five times the profit, but also the production rhythm will be seriously disrupted, and a few orders will have to be overdue, and when the time comes, the loss will be the business reputation." Therefore, the caravan that buys electronic components in Huashan City has always spared a lot of money to hire mercenaries to escort them, and it is a real anomaly that there are not so many talents. ”
"Do you spare a lot of money to the point of directly finding eleven high-level mercenaries?" The crow was not relieved by Mi Xin's explanation, and still frowned and said, "I can probably come up with your plan, thirty trucks are divided into five or six teams to advance in echelons, and each team is assigned two high-level mercenaries and twenty or thirty ordinary mercenaries, yes, but no matter how much attention is paid to safety, one high-level mercenary is enough, no matter how much more will inevitably arouse suspicion, I think your previous caravans were all hired according to this ratio." Don't tell me you've always had two high-ranking mercenaries per team, that's an exaggeration. ”
"But this time it's different, this time it's more important than all the goods combined. Mi Xin pointed to herself and said smugly, "Don't you think that with my Mi Xin's identity, I am worthy of being escorted by five or six high-level warriors?"
"Uh, okay. The crow was stunned for a moment, patted the top of his head in annoyance, and said with a wry smile, "I almost forgot that a person of your status will bring a large number of capable people as bodyguards when they go in and out." No, it's not that you forgot, but you don't have that many guards around you right now, so much so that I ignored the question. Hmm, do you mind if I ask more?"
"I'm sorry, but for some special reasons, it's inconvenient for me to answer your question. Mi Xin said embarrassedly, "Frankly speaking, the defense force around me was weak before, so I was very unaccustomed to it, and I was always worried, but fortunately, nothing happened." Now that you're all here, I can rest assured. As long as it weren't for those top abilities looking for trouble, security would not be a problem. ”
"You can trust us so much?" said the crow, teasing with a smirk, "you don't have to worry about ......"
"Don't use suspicious people, don't use suspicious people. Mi Xin blinked and returned the crow's ridicule, "You must have spoken to people more than once." ”
"Hehehe, good eyesight. Obviously, Mi Xin had already seen that the crow had the experience of being in a high position, so she would say such a thing, and the crow didn't intend to deny it, but just changed the topic with a smile, "Your existence is indeed enough to explain the question of the number of high-level, of course, it depends on how it is distributed, but this question can be talked about later, okay, I ...... for the task." We don't have any doubts. ”
"Yes, Boss Mi. Rose then added, "From our side, this mission is acceptable, at least for the time being." ”
"I can too, I can too. Xiaodouzi was pressed on the sofa by the female leopard, and said with dancing hands, "Sister Mi's task, and Sister Leopard also participated, of course I accepted." ”
"But I still have a problem. Cao Jue, the only one who hadn't made a statement, kept listening carefully, until everyone looked at him and waited for him to make a statement, and then said slowly, "Boss Mi Xin, I owe you a lot of favors, you invited me to join the escort mission at a high price this time, it stands to reason that I shouldn't have any doubts, but I still have a question I want to ask first." ”
"Mr. Cao, what you said is not right. Mi Xin said solemnly, "Human affection is one thing, task is another." I am very grateful that you are willing to help, and I can understand that you are reluctant to help if you have concerns, and I will not be dissatisfied. This mission is completely voluntary, and there is absolutely no intention of blackmailing you to participate. ”
"I'm sorry, I lost my words, but I'd like to get to the bottom of it. Cao Jue's calm appearance was difficult to discern, "I asked just now, Boss Mi Xin, are you planning to build a city?"
"No, I don't have the intention, and I don't have the ability. Mi Xin shook her head and said, "Managing a city is completely different from doing business, I know it's not suitable, hehe, maybe Mr. Raven has this ability, but I don't, so I don't plan to do this kind of self-defeating thing." ”
"That's right. Cao Jue played with the arrow feathers in the quiver, thought about it and asked, "The target is Huashan City, yes, then I don't understand." If it's not for your own use, why do you want to transport the concealment shield to Huashan City, could it be that Huashan City is also preparing to expand again and take the road of the Li family in Shanbei?"
