"It's an honor to be by your side. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Kassandra put down her teacup and stood up on her own initiative, owing slightly.

She had a charming smile on her face as always, as if she didn't care at all about her father giving her away as a hostage.

However, Lu Li really couldn't accept this almost primitive security system, and shook his head directly: "No, no, no, what I mean by trust does not mean the exchange of hostages, not to mention that even if I want to retaliate against your deception in the future, it will only be for you personally, and will not involve your relatives and friends." Remember, my principle is to try to solve business matters by commercial means, and I disdain to use such low-level means unless the opponent uses violence first. ”

"Really, you don't need hostages, you don't need any guarantees?" said Kaduma, an incredulous expression on his face.

After all, in the Hoyle Empire, where slavery was prevalent, the exchange of hostages was a very common phenomenon.

Because the locals feel that blood and family are one of the most inseparable things in the world, controlling each other's sons and daughters means that the other party will not easily choose to betray.

But Lu Li had read too many things from the history of the earth to kill each other for power and money, so he didn't believe that a mere hostage could play any role in guaranteeing it, and responded with a chuckle: "No, there is no need, as I said just now, it takes time to build a relationship of mutual trust, and there is no need to rush." Okay, that's all for that, let's talk about the conditions. For example, how much can you provide each month for this life-increasing potion?"

Seeing that Lu Li didn't plan to entangle more on the hostage issue, the fat man immediately glanced at his daughter, and then touched the double chin where the fat had accumulated and explained: "You must understand that the life-prolonging potion is not an ordinary magic potion, and the output of an important ingredient required to prepare it is extremely low, and I can only provide you with eighteen bottles a year, which is three bottles in two months on average." As for the price, I think it is very reasonable to set it at 50,000 gold pagoda for a bottle. ”

"Yes! I accept the price. Lu Li agreed without even thinking about it.

Anyway, for him, he does not need to pay directly for hard currency such as gold, but for industrial goods from the earth, and the purchase price may not even reach a few tenths of the shipping price.

To a certain extent, this is equivalent to what Europe and the United States did to other countries in the world in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, which is a monopoly of industrial technology to plunder the economy and resources of non-industrial areas, which is simply a lucrative business.

Of course, in the 21st century, they shifted from industrial monopolies to financial monopolies due to excess capital, and maintained high welfare by issuing large amounts of money to buy national government bonds, and then converted debts into assets for trading.

With its advantage in hard currency, it successfully attracted capital inflows from all over the world, and finally succeeded in passing on the crisis to those developing countries.

The same economic plunder, the latter does not know how many times better than the former!

Many people still don't understand why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer!

The European and American media have been clamoring all day long that the Chinese have robbed them of their job opportunities, which is why the unemployment rate has soared.

But the actual situation is just the opposite, the transfer of manufacturing did not occur after the domestic reform and opening up, but began as early as the seventies, and was independently promoted by European and American capitalists, the purpose is to shift from manufacturing to finance.

Since it is the financial industry, it naturally does not need too many people, especially since computer technology is becoming more and more developed, many transactions are completed by computers, and the entire Wall Street employees are only about 300,000.

The virtual economy accounts for such a terrifying proportion of GDP, and the unemployment rate is not high.

As the most radical transformation of financial capital, Wall Street private bankers can even go so far as to set aside government surveillance, decide for themselves how many dollars to print, formulate their own financial policies, and then leave it to the government to implement.

But what about the U.S. government?

In order to ensure that the huge government debt and military spending are paid, they have to pinch their noses and constantly clean up all kinds of messes for the financial giants, and finally the two are more and more closely combined, which is why some people put forward the theory that Wall Street controls the US government.

There have been many far-sighted presidents who tried to recover the right to issue money from private bankers, but in the end, without exception, failed, and several presidents who tried to use the power of the state were assassinated.

It can be said that no country on the planet dares to claim to be more capitalized than the United States, and similarly few countries dare to hand over the right to issue currency to private banks.

But unfortunately, not to mention the financial system in another world, even the handicraft industry is thrown at the level of a small workshop, and Lu Li can only dump industrial products in exchange for a large amount of gold and resources in another world.

As dark as it sounds, cruelty, and heartlessness, this is the real world, a world of filth.

Trade has never been fair, and from the moment it was born, its essence was the plundering of the weak by the strong side.

It's just that physical transactions plunder less, while virtual transactions plunder more......

Kaduma obviously didn't understand these truths, and was secretly glad that he had obtained the exclusive distribution rights for the entire Hoyle Empire so easily.

I saw him clutching the signed piece of paper, laughing and complimenting: "Hahahaha! Your Excellency the Watchman, you are really the most cheerful businessman I have ever seen in my life. If you are visiting Puerto Kabba, please visit my estate. As the host, I will hold a grand welcome ceremony and banquet for you, and I believe that the enthusiastic dancers will definitely make you want to linger. ”

"Hehe, no problem, when I finish dealing with the trouble at hand, I will definitely go to see it, and by the way, enjoy the beautiful desert style. Lu Li nodded happily and accepted the other party's invitation.

After all, admiring pristine nature has always been one of his hobbies, and after seeing the spectacular migration of wild animals in the northern Black Forest, it is not undeserving to see the deserts and oases.

"Then I will take my leave today, I can't wait to go to the warehouse to see the goods, and then load them back to the port of Kaba. So saying, the fat man stood up and saluted, and turned to walk towards the door.

But for some reason, Kassandra didn't leave with her, but after seeing her father go away, she held up a huge "murder weapon" and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, if I'm not mistaken, you don't seem to have hired a butler who specializes in business yet, right?"

"Yes, what do you want to express?" Lu Li looked at the S-shaped beauty in front of him with interest.

"What do you think of me? I have received a rigorous education since I was a child, and I am not only proficient in mathematics and business management, but also know the market of various goods. As long as you nod your head, I promise to keep everything in order. Last but not least, Lord Will is a powerful adventurer and a brilliant blacksmith, but he is not very good at dealing with cunning merchants......"
