Chapter 5 Business Empire (1)
The whole town of Baulston was a sensation!
1. The stinky fish on the dock that no one wanted was sold by Madame Grey for a sky-high price of 150 gold coins!
2. The barren land on the docks was leased out by Madame Grey for a hundred gold coins per acre!
3. These two stupid things were done by the same madman, and this madman was shackled in the center of the town for a long time because of beating people!
Fourth, the beautiful and touching Princess Catherine is also crazy, and she actually accompanies this madman to sell hero equipment in the center of the town!
Gu Shiyu was standing on the railing of the fountain in the center of the town at this moment, shouting loudly: "Come on, come on, take a look, there will be no such shop in this village! You can't sell it with money! You can't sell it with money! You can't sell it with money! Look at this treasure, what is this treasure called? It's called the courage pendant, it's a rare third-level treasure in the world! With it, you don't need to learn any leadership skills and luck skills, and your morale and luck value are directly filled, and the hero is invincible! You can at least save tens of thousands of heroic gods! Yes, this treasure is so good, so amazing! It's better to take action! The starting price is fifty gold coins, and the bid is high, you, you are paying 100? Oh, that gentleman, you are 15? Some people are 15, and there are some higher prices? 151, what? You are 200, are there more than 200? 200, 200 ......."
"I'm four hundred!" shouted one man in the crowd. When the pen www.biquge.info the valley looked over, it turned out to be Adela who was competing with him in the martial arts arena in the morning!
"That handsome and dashing young hero of the jade tree is bidding four hundred, is there anything higher than four hundred? four hundred and one, four hundred and two, four hundred and three times, deal!"
"The following treasure is also a very rare piece of equipment, what is it called? It's called the ambassador ribbon, if you go out to lead the troops to fight, many guerrilla troops in the field will automatically join you, even if they ask you for mercenary fees, you won't get much, other people's troops are fighting less and less, your troops are fighting more and more! What are you hesitating about such a baby? The starting price is 100 gold coins, and the highest price will get it......
"I'll give six hundred!"
Who is so rich? Everyone looked over, and it turned out to be Adela again!
Heroes from all over Baulston gathered in the center of the town, including humans, dwarves, witches, elementals, etc., plus hundreds of people watching the lively residents.
Catherine pulled Gu Shiyu's shirt hard, Gu Shiyu looked down and saw that Catherine was full of joy, her face was red, and she looked up and smiled at him. Gu Shiyu asked, "Is it enough?"
Catherine nodded excitedly and said, "Enough, enough, almost three thousand gold coins!"
Gu Shiyu hurriedly jumped off the railing, holding Catherine in one hand and a bag full of gold coins in the other, and the two fled from the crowd in high spirits.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed. The stinky fish has been saved, the land has been negotiated, the funds have been secured, and all that remains is the managers and workers. Catherine and Gu Shiyu, two shareholders, bought a few bottles of rum and some food from the market, and the two of them lay on the beach, looking at the full moon in the sky, listening to the sound of the waves lapping on the shore, and blowing the cool sea breeze.
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say: "Why is Adela so rich, he bought a lot of things today." ”
Catherine said, "His father was the naval commander of the Kingdom of Erathia. Erathia's trade with overseas countries was monopolized by their family. Adela came to the Heroes Guild with me when he was only eight years old, and he was very diligent and hard-working. So the people in the guild liked him very much, and often called him for help when needed, and got a lot of tips. He never spends money indiscriminately, and now it's almost ten years, and his money is getting more and more, but my money is getting less and less. ”
Gu Shiyu gave Catherine a thumbs up. Catherine was puzzled, "What does this mean?"
Gu Shiyu took a sip of rum and said, "Money is for spending, not for saving." People who can spend money are generally more likely to earn more money than others. ”
Catherine also took a sip of wine, shook her head and said, "I never thought about making money, I only knew how to spend money." ”
Gu Shiyu looked at Catherine and said mysteriously: "Women generally like three kinds of flowers. ”
Catherine looked at Gu Shiyu in surprise and said, "Yes, I like roses, lilies, and jasmine, how do you know?"
Gu Shiyu said lazily: "If you have money to spend, spend it casually, even if you spend it, do you like it?"
Catherine Gege smiled: "I also like these three kinds of flowers very much. She turned her head sideways, looked at Gu Shiyu with a pulse, and sighed slightly: "It's been thirty years, and today is my happiest day." ”
Gu Shiyu knew her family background, and was silent for a moment and said, "I believe that you will be happier and happier." ”
Catherine nodded and said, "By the way, you spend so much money, what are you going to do, you haven't told me yet!"
Gu Shiyu said: "The thing I want to make has a very high technology content, and it is definitely a best-selling product in the market, and it is in short supply." ”
Catherine said, "What is technology?"
Gu Shiyu didn't know how to explain it, so he said half-loud: "How to say it, you have to have high wisdom, think repeatedly and practice many times to make good things." ”
Catherine nodded, "I believe that you are a very wise man. And it's a pleasure to be with you. ”
Gu Shiyu was very proud, hehe, brother's wisdom, what do you need to say?The limbs are developed and the mind is ...... This is also developed.
Catherine said: "Tomorrow is going to recruit people, let me recommend you a financial expert! His name is Cuthbert, and he has expert financial management skills." His father was the Chancellor of Finance of the Kingdom of Erathia. If you want other people, I have more than that, and I can call you thousands at will. ”
Don't you forget, you only invested ten gold coins! Gu Shiyu was about to refute, and suddenly thought about it, this is fine, his mathematics is a mess, and he often fails his subjects, not to mention that he is not interested in dealing with data! I just need to be a good boss, and I will leave the rest of the things to your subordinates! He nodded and said, "This is exactly the talent I need the most." Catherine, why do you have so many men?"
Catherine said, "I am the princess of the Kingdom of Erathia, and many people in the Lost Lands are descendants of my father's old subordinates. I can raise thousands of troops at any time if I want to! Don't look at Mayor Grey's affection for me, in fact she hates me to death, for fear that I will take her as mayor! It's ridiculous, will I take a fancy to her little town of Ballston?"
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask: "Everyone calls her Mrs. Grey, is she married?"
Catherine was surprised: "Don't you know who her husband is?
Gu Shiyu secretly regretted that the giant thunder was five big and three thick, and Mrs. Grey was less than one-third of his age, this ...... I'm afraid it's also a little inappropriate.
Alas, if the shoe does not fit, only the foot knows, and it is useless to think about it. So Gu Shiyu changed the topic and said: "Today on the dock, I heard Lu Yao tell you......"
Catherine corrected: "It's not Lu Yao, it's Prince Roland!"
Gu Shiyu said: "Okay, Prince Roland told you about taking a boat to Erathia." ”
Catherine nodded and said, "I've been in the Lost Lands for ten years, the first five years have been painstakingly learning heroic skills, and the last five years have dreamed of returning to Erathia. There's no going back to the portal from the Lost Lands, so I've been looking for news from the fleet. The port's fleet is generally only traded in the local port, and very few ocean-going fleets arrive. Even if there were, I didn't know the route to Erathia. I didn't believe it at first, but when I looked at their charts, I couldn't find Erathia. Well, can I go back?"
Gu Shiyu also sighed, alas, can I go back?
Both were silent with the same thoughts. It wasn't until he felt that the sea breeze was getting colder and colder, and Gu Shiyu said, "Catherine, let's go back! ”
Catherine said, "Those dead dwarves? I hate them! If it weren't for the dwarves, how could my father have died in the Lost Lands?"
Gu Shiyu sighed: "Actually, human beings are also at fault! Because dwarves are capable, human beings go everywhere to catch dwarves as slaves, and Yuland's father will come out with the legion to seek revenge on humans." ”
Catherine was surprised, "Yes, in Erathia, people only say that the dwarves want to invade our land. ”
Gu Shiyu said: "That's for sure! No matter who you are, you will say that you are right and others are wrong." Only in this way will the people feel justified and can find excuses for their actions. Dwarves and humans should have their own faults, so why don't they dare to admit it? A slap in the face will never make a sound!"
Catherine thought for a long time before she said, "What you say makes a lot of sense. I don't hate them anymore, I just hate them! They are dirty, smelly, and uneducated. ”
Gu Shiyu said: "Actually, the dwarves are very cute. I hope that humans and dwarves will put aside their old enmities and form an alliance. Doesn't it mean that the Demon Legion has already begun to invade the various continents? Everyone should unite with the outside world and fight the enemy together. ”
Catherine nodded, "Okay! I'll think about what you said." Now let's go back to the guild!"
The two of them walked west along the street, out of the town of Ballston, and in the woods bordering the Heroes' Guild, they suddenly heard a suppressed cry. The two searched for sound, only to see a young man squatting on the ground, shaking his thin shoulders, and crying.
Catherine had already recognized who he was, hurriedly hugged his head, and asked repeatedly, "Adra, what's wrong with you, why are you hiding here alone?"
Adela had tears on her face, buried her head in Catherine's arms, and said with sobs: "Sister, I was beaten and everything on my body was snatched away...... I bought those things to equip after graduation, and now they are gone!"
Catherine was furious and asked, "Do you see the people who beat you clearly?" tell your sister that sister will make them look good!"
"I didn't see it clearly, they were all masked, and they were of average height, not the dwarves and giants. They hit me in the back......"
Gu Shiyu also understood why when he and Youlande first met, Youlande was secretive and always refused to show his equipment! I was secretly happy in my heart, how smart I was! I didn't wear my best equipment, otherwise wouldn't I be like poor Adela, looking for a fight? Just seeing that Adela was crying really sadly, my heart softened, and said: "Don't cry, in addition to the ambassador ribbon, my brother also has a ceremonial ring, which has the same function as the ambassador ribbon." When you graduate, my brother will give him to you as a gift, okay?"
As soon as Gu Shiyu said this, he began to regret in his heart, what's the matter, this thing can also be equipped by himself, it is hundreds of gold coins...... If you are in such a hurry to report your family, do you want to be beaten?
Catherine also comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, you ...... Brother gives you a ceremonial ring, sister also gives you a piece of equipment, you are good at using a spear, sister gives you a demon staff, as a graduation gift from sister, anyway, sister uses a sword, this equipment is not needed. Don't cry, be obedient, and go back with my sister. ”
Catherine put her arm around Adela's shoulders, and the three of them made their way back to the guild. Gu Shiyu went to see Youlande first, only to see that he had been hung up and lost his spirit, and nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, take your brothers to the dock to help me do things!"
Yolande was weak, shook his head and said, "Tomorrow I have to help the guild breeder feed the pigs, but I can't go." ”
Gu Shiyu said: "If you don't feed the pigs, my brother will immediately go to the mentor to intercede for you." ”
Yolande smiled and said, "Brother, you are so good! I will be put down tomorrow morning, and the first thing I want to do is to kiss you!"
Gu Shiyu panicked, shook his hand and said: "This is not necessary! Tell your brothers, help me do things well, my brother will definitely not treat them badly!"
Saying goodbye to Yoland, Gu Shiyu went to the guild office to find a mentor. The tutor hadn't slept yet, and he was a little surprised to see Gu Shiyu visiting late at night.
Gu Shiyu bowed down and said: "Hello mentor, tomorrow I want Yolande to help me do a very important thing, and I want to hire another person to feed the pigs for him, do you think it's okay?"
The mentor refused, "If I say it, it is the law of the Hero Guild, and it is impossible to change it. ”
Gu Shiyu put a handful of gold coins on the table. Seeing that the tutor was still silent, he continued to put it on again.
The mentor suddenly said, "No one has been here tonight. Whether Yolande feeds the pigs himself or finds someone to replace him, I don't know, and I'm not interested in care. Alas, there are so many things going on in the guild that I have to sleep, and I have a lot of things to attend to tomorrow. ”
Gu Shiyu understood and quietly left the guild office.
