Chapter 390: How to Get Money and the Tail Behind You
After leaving the Vestafalon family's chamber of commerce, Elisa finally breathed a sigh of relief, not because she was nervous about the deal. Instead, Elisa took the opportunity to find out from the family's chamber of commerce that her mother, Lady Angelina, had returned halfway and did not go to the Golden Spike Territory to mediate for 'herself', and it seemed that Baloas had also lived up to her expectations and completed the handover of the letter.
At least for the time being, the mother should not be in danger.
As the boulder in her heart landed, Alisa also felt much more relaxed, and another point was to prove that the mysterious ruler of the Yanod Mountains had not broken his promise, as long as he could keep his relatives away from this unimaginable game between gods and demons, Elisa felt that it was no big deal to pay for it now.
"580 million rines, that should be enough. Lelouch muttered as he looked at the information in his hand.
"Is that a lot of money?"
Gus turned his head and asked, and Alisa nodded and said that 500 million rien was already a huge amount of money, which could afford the expenses of a family of three in the upper middle class for a lifetime in a free city, and it would be very good.
"This money is more than enough for the construction of the Chamber of Commerce, and according to your request, Your Excellency Lelouch, you can directly buy a piece of land in the prosperous area of the southern part of the city. Alisa spread out the map and pointed, "Considering that we are only responsible for supply and not retail, we don't need to buy land in prime locations, so we should be able to save some money." β
Lelouch nodded and took advantage of this time to discuss with Alisa about some details of the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, Alisa was mainly worried about a problem, this time the group brought an astonishing amount of valuable goods from the Arnold Mountains, but these goods are not endless after all, how to replenish the goods when they are sold? Obviously, the forces of the Arnold Mountains should not have established a transit station in the Free City, and they can't let everyone return to the Arnold Mountains to replenish the goods after the goods are sold.
Lelouch had already discussed this with Yalin before he set out. The goods carried at the time of departure are extremely precious, even the city of Ulduar cannot be continuously supplied, these things are only used to raise the initial funds, and the rest is for Lelouch to establish a channel to make money in the free city, and Arin does not need to provide goods for Lelouch, only needs to provide technology. For example, long-lost potion recipes, new magic guides and weapon design blueprints, etc., of course, will also provide the necessary manpower.
Listen to what Lelouch said. Alyssa felt much more relaxed.
The Liberty City is a city of money supremacy, where there are ecstasy caves that make people spend a lot of money, and the extreme prosperity of commerce has brought a large number of jobs, theoretically speaking, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not be beaten into the hell of extreme poverty and become a slave, but the endless enjoyment brought by extreme prosperity will always make people unable to resist the temptation, such as casinos, brothels and other places that burn money, and will always lure some poor people to become slaves of money. If you don't have much desire, you just want to work here and spend your life peacefully, but if someone wants to be a part of the city's upper class and share in the huge cake called Free City, it won't be easy.
In this city, the industries that can make money, especially the big money, have been completely carved up and occupied by countless chambers of commerce from small to large, and it is difficult for new chambers of commerce to get a place here, and every year there are many ambitious businessmen who come to the city. Then he left in despair.
Alisa also had to admit that she was able to be a part of the cake in the city back then, and the influence of the Westphalian family was indispensable, and of course, 'thanks' to Miss Yunogia for her ill-intentioned help was also indispensable.
Next, Lelouch and Alisa came directly to another medium-sized chamber of commerce, this chamber of commerce mainly deals in fur products and some handicrafts, because of the recent market situation, business does not seem to be very good, but the fur provided by Lelouch made the head of the chamber of commerce grit his teeth and buy them all, because each piece is a magical beast fur containing magic power, such precious fur is completely necessary for making high-grade armor. Even if it is stored in the warehouse, it will not depreciate, so the head of the Chamber of Commerce is willing to gamble!
The deal of 70 million rien is done!
Throughout the afternoon, Lelouch ran seven or eight chambers of commerce almost non-stop. The total transaction amount has reached 1.4 billion rien, although it has not yet been fully received, but the amount of this amount still surprised Alisa, it seems that the mysterious ruler of the Arnold Mountains should not just be ready to take root in the free city, from this situation, it seems that the other party is estimated to want to infiltrate the free city on a large scale, so much money has been prepared in the early stage, and I don't know how much money will pour into the city in the later stage.
At the end of the day, even Alyssa couldn't help but feel tired. It's just that Lelouch, who was sitting opposite, had to let Elisa hold on to her spirits and continue to accompany her. Alyssa took advantage of the opportunity to rub her eyes and quietly looked at Lelouch. Indeed, he was a handsome and weak teenager no matter how you looked at it, but Alyssa always felt that there was something in his eyes that he had not experienced, and that it was a more pure and terrible obsession. In the course of several negotiations, Lelouch sat in his place without saying a word and listened to his negotiations with the other party, and Elisa could clearly feel that Lelouch should not know much about business transactions, but in each negotiation he was learning as fast as he could. It's like an absorbent sponge, frantically absorbing all the knowledge and things that are useful to him.
Terrible! This is Elisa's most intuitive view of Lelouch.
"Hey~Boss, where are we going next?" asked Guss with a hache, today Gus pretended to be a bodyguard and stood behind Lelouxiu for an afternoon, and the endless business negotiations made the berserker who was usually active in battle feel bored, and several times Gus almost fell asleep standing up.
"Go to a place at the endββ" Lelouch thought for a moment and took out an emblem from the spatial ring, which was given to him by a girl named Isis when he was on the airship, "But before that, I have to ask some of our friends behind us." β
In an instant, Gus and Kenjiro became alert, and Alyssa was also slightly startled and ready to open the curtain to look outside.
Lelouch immediately stopped Alyssa's move: "Don't startle the snake, it's just some guys who don't have a big deal." β
Reincarnated as a black dragon, Lu Luxiu's spiritual power became very strong, and he found the tail following him very lightly, obviously these people don't seem to be very good at stealth. Lelouch could clearly feel their numbers and every movement. The carriage deliberately turned into a secluded lane at Lelouch's signal, and Gus and Kenjiro quickly jumped out of the carriage to stop the tail, while the carriage headed for Miss Isis's Kinsol Chamber of Commerce under Lelouch's order.
"Remember to ask questions and don't make things too big. Lelouch waved his hand from the window before the carriage left.
"Knowing the boss, it's time to move your muscles. β
Gus lifted the dragon sword and moved his wrist, and Kenjiro and Kenjiro stood straight at the intersection, and as soon as the carriage in which Lelouch was riding had left, sure enough, seven or eight people sneakily followed. When they saw Gus and Kenjiro standing at the intersection, they couldn't help but look at each other. After learning that they were exposed, these people didn't seem to be ready to do more entanglement, and they were ready to leave.
"Why don't you sit down and talk, our boss is very interested in your identity!" Gus said in a slightly ruffian tone, and the Dragon Slayer had already revealed its terrifying appearance.
The huge two-handed giant sword like an iron plate, Cheng DΓΉ who felt terrible just by looking at it, and this man dressed as a mercenary could actually carry this giant sword with one hand.
Regardless of the fact that Gus and the group quickly retreated into the street and disappeared into the crowd, Gus had no choice but to sigh and complain: "What a group of cowards, it seems that they are just interested in our money." β
"I think so, too. β
Kenjiro nodded in agreement, judging by the way those people were dressed, they should be just a few small thieves. Since the other party had already run away, the two of them were ready to let them go and join Lelouch, but one of the other people did not plan to do so. Just as Gus and Kenjiro turned to leave, a black shadow like mist flashed above their heads, and only the more sensitive Kenjiro instantly noticed it, and when he noticed the black shadow, Kenjiro couldn't help frowning slightly.
It seems that in the end, there are still people who can't escape the scythe of death!
Dozens of minutes later, in a tavern in the neighborhood of the Free City, Christopher, who was playing the 'star card' to relieve his boredom, was listening to the reports of several of his subordinates, the Tooth Devil is a small gang among the many gangs in the Free City, and the whole gang controls most of the retail business in the residential area. The main job is to collect some protection money and find some girls with good looks to increase the supply of goods. When I heard that the mysterious boy who suddenly appeared had made a deal of hundreds of millions of riens in several chambers of commerce. Christopher couldn't help but shudder, the merchants who could do this kind of transaction were all rich and noble people on the road. I can't afford to mess with this little gang.
It's just that Christopher couldn't help but be nerve-wracking, after all, there was an order from above to ask for information about the teenager, obviously the above was not ready to come forward in person before the identity of the other party was unknown, and he used his own small gang to consider that once something happened, he could quickly cut himself off.
Christopher really didn't want to take on this dangerous task, if that young man was the young master of a certain big merchant and a big nobleman, he would definitely die if he angered him. But in the face of the punishment from above, Christopher had to do it hard, because if he didn't dare, he would die.
Throwing out a card, Christopher scolded and ordered his men to continue to look for the place where the boy was staying, remembering that there was news that the boy had two female dependents with him when he arrived in Free City, and maybe he could do something about them.
"Fuck it. Let Lao Tzu do such a dangerous thing. β
Suddenly, a strange sound came from Christopher's ears, and in an instant, Christopher's whole body stood up, and before the gang boss known as the toothed ghost could stand up, the lights in the tavern suddenly went black, and then the deadly silver light flashed instantly, and Christopher found that his five senses also fell into darkness in an instant.
