The investigation team planned by the city lord has arrived?

Where?

Xu Nan was a little weak and a little surprised.

Anonymous City is transformed from the body of the Flowing Fire of the Dengyun Ship, although Xu Nan will not be perverted to monitor every corner of the city, but he has already ordered with the Flowing Fire that any personnel in Paradise Lost must report it as soon as possible!

Is Paradise Lost's anti-reconnaissance technology surpassing the ability of Drift Fire?

In this regard, Xu Nan was deeply skeptical, after all, in the thousands of years since the Arcane Empire left, many of the related technologies of Paradise Lost have lost their "learning" objects, and the growth rate is outrageously slow.

However, the system's prompts will not be faked.

Then the answer is coming.

"Very few people from the investigation team? And it's a bigwig-level figure? ”

Xu Nanhuo stood up from his position and thought about how to deal with the upcoming big shots, who knew that at this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in?" Xu Nan was mentally prepared, and he was much calmer about the abrupt report of the elephant guard.

Sure enough, the elephant man, who was one of the guards, reported that there was a middle-aged man with an obscene appearance waiting outside, saying that he wanted to see the city lord of Xu.

"I didn't break in directly, so I'm not too arrogant."

"Ask him to come in." Xu Nan took a deep breath and said quickly.

Not long after, under Xu Nan's somewhat surprised gaze, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"You're ......"

Before Xu Nan could ask, the other party had already taken off his hat with a smile and put it on Xu Nan's table, and at the same time said with relief:

"Don't be nervous, do you think I'm going to be so ignorant as to check your city's grooming?"

"Relax, it's just a formality."

Aoye naturally sat down on the sofa next to him: "Can you have a cup of coffee?" ”

Xu Nan nodded.

Naturally, there was an ice plain man next to her, and the girl was not very skillful at pouring good coffee for strange visitors - this was something that Xu Nan had prepared a long time ago.

"It tastes good." Aoife gave an objective assessment.

"Thank you, Twenty Constant Gold Coins."

Xu Nan touched his nose, he was actually tempting.

Aoye's movements immediately froze there, and then he shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, anyway, this time it's tolerance, and all consumption can be reimbursed." ”

Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Aoife's attitude says a lot about it, and it makes many of his previous cautious actions seem redundant.

As the Speaker of Parliament said, the investigation team is just going through the motions.

"Also, the city lord's plan to choose an anonymous city is an objective fact; In addition, Ansully and Teacher Romang must have decided the final candidates, and the so-called investigation team is most likely a formality. ”

"Even if there are voices of rebellion within Paradise Lost, no one will be stupid enough to go against the two legends."

Xu Nan estimated that the Organizing Committee of the 69 Project itself was the main member of the investigation team, but since Paradise Lost chose to let Aowie, the president of the council who had a good relationship with him, come to investigate, he was basically reassuring and goodwill to himself.

Aoife is a centrist in Paradise Lost, and does not strictly favor any legend, so it is most appropriate for him to deal with this matter; If you directly send a warlock from the Romans faction to investigate, it would be a bit too contrived.

"Honestly, you're doing a good job." After the joke, Aoife began to comment seriously: "I can feel the energy and enthusiasm of the city from the inside out......

"That's the Ice Plains people reproducing ......offspring," Xu Nan coughed.

Aoife continued to praise without changing his face: "At least I have never seen a cleaner street than yours, many factories and buildings, just like new!" ”

"It's brand new, and you don't know the characteristics of the cloud boarding." Xu Nan looked at Aofei innocently.

Ofie laughed and said:

"One of the best things is that you choose a very good and reasonable location, it's close to the surface, but it has a lot of security and privacy, and I think the city has all the foundations to be a great city!"

Xu Nan himself felt a little blushing. The location or something, he really chose it casually.

Feelings: The president of this council has come all the way to blow a wave of anonymous cities? Xu Nan himself felt embarrassed.

In the next second, something magical happened, a wriggling letterhead suddenly flew out, and a quill pen quickly wrote on it, writing on it word for word what Aoife said.

Xu Nan glanced at it casually, and there were many exaggerated and beautiful words, praising the potential and excellence of the anonymous city.

Soon, the official investigation was written, and with a snap of his fingers, the letterhead vanished, presumably flying back to the Lost Paradise headquarters.

"The process is over?"

Xu Nan was curious: "When will the first batch of aid materials and personnel arrive?" ”

The reward part of the city lord's plan clearly states that there will be rewards in this regard, and now in the Anonymous City, there are a lot of things missing, Xu Nan can't wait to make up for it in one go, this part naturally needs to be vigorously shot by Paradise Lost!

However, Aoife only shook his head, and suddenly slapped an agreement on the table.

"This is a Paradise Lost concession agreement, you can take a look at it first."

"With the signing of this agreement, aid will arrive soon, and Anonymous City will truly become the first force in Paradise Lost in the main material realm."

"I must remind you that Paradise Lost has a lot of enemies in this world, and of course, we have a lot of friends, but in general, there are a little more enemies."

Aoife touched his chin: "But you should have realized what the price of being an early bird will be." ”

Xu Nan quickly flipped through the concession agreement, suppressed his desire to devour and digest, and analyzed many of the terms with [insight] as much as possible.

As for Aophee's tips, he certainly knows it.

How could a hateful profession like the Ron Warlock have no enemies? If you enjoy the great assistance of Paradise Lost, you will definitely pay a lot of price.

Opportunity and danger are always closely related. Xu Nan had long been prepared to face all dangers - including all aspects of running away, of course.

In general, he thinks that the benefits of this move outweigh the risks, after all, the current Anonymous City, on the surface, is covered by Stephen Sand, Paradise Lost is just slowly arranged, and it is estimated that in the next few years, unless the gods suddenly have time to take care of them, no one can know the true details of the Anonymous City.

Regarding the agreement on the construction of the city, it is basically more detailed than what is written in the city lord's plan, and Xu Nan has refined the program, which is basically that Xu Nan has the sovereignty of the anonymous city, but he must ensure that the city is part of the opening of Paradise Lost.

In the future, Paradise Lost will have the right of first refusal to acquire in Anonymous City, as well as many preferential privileges for product sales, and if necessary, Xu Nan must respond to Paradise Lost's call and prepare for war......

These terms are very detailed, and they can basically ensure that after putting a large amount of material support into Paradise Lost, Xu Nan will not be unable to recover the cost. At the same time, Xu Nan noticed that many parts of the terms had been changed, and it should be that the person who drafted the terms referred to Romang's meaning and gave Xu Nan more preferential treatment and privileges.

The most important point is that the Anonymous City is not a vassal of Paradise Lost, but more of a partnership. Xu Nan and the Lost Paradise official, at least on the surface, have a position for equal dialogue.

"It's not a big problem, I'll sign it."

Xu Nan signed happily.

"When will the money arrive?" He asked.

"Within ten days." Aoye blinked: "The first batch of aid and funds will arrive." ”

"It's as simple as that?"

Xu Nan even felt a little incredible, Warlock Ron had always been known for his bureaucracy, and he didn't expect the process of establishing the first city on the main plane to be so easy and pleasant.

Sure enough, there are still people in the DPRK who are easy to do. If it weren't for Xu Nan inheriting many of Luo Mang's bloodline abilities by mistake, I'm afraid that the city-building agreement in front of him now doesn't know how much flesh he would have to cut off to settle it.

"And an agreement."

Aoye unhurriedly took out a blank paperwork, but his expression was the most solemn: "This is a secret agreement. ”

"Emerald Mine?"

Xu Nan was not surprised.

The Emerald Mine and the Anonymous City are not integrated in themselves; He guessed that the reason why Paradise Lost was willing to give him such a big benefit, and he didn't even have the slightest intention of getting involved in the sovereignty of Anonymous City, probably because he focused more on the emerald mine.

Sure enough, under Aophee's decryption magic, the document revealed lines of more rigorous treaty text.

Xu Nan read through it, this agreement declares the ownership of the emerald mine and the surrounding mineral deposits, and in general, Xu Nan, Stephen Sand, and the officials of Paradise Lost share the benefits of the development of the mineral deposits equally.

Among them, Paradise Lost and Stephen Sand entrusted Xu Nan to operate and develop.

The secret agreement clearly states that one-third of the profits related to the mineral deposits are to be submitted to Stephensand and Paradise Lost each year. The remaining one-third belongs to Xu Nan himself.

This secret agreement has been confirmed by Stephen Sand's Ansuli handwriting, as well as the official endorsement of Paradise Lost.

"Tut-tut, it was waiting for me here."

Xu Nan smiled.

"You can think about it, or put forward some conditions, and I'll look at ......" Aoife was stunned before he finished his words.

Because Xu Nan signed his name on it with lightning speed!

He didn't seem to think about it at all, and he didn't feel that the secret agreement had harmed his interests.

"Xu Nan ......"

On the contrary, Aoye couldn't help it: "You can take the opportunity to put forward some conditions." ”

Xu Nan said righteously: "I am originally a member of the organization, and it is natural to contribute to the organization!" ”

Aoye was taken aback.

He looked at Xu Nan suspiciously, and after a while, he praised: "I looked away, I didn't expect Paradise Lost to have such a conscious child as you." ”

"It is worthy of the man that Mr. Romans fancies, don't worry, I won't let you suffer, in other aspects, I will give you as much compensation as possible!"

Xu Nan smiled and thanked him.

After chatting with Aoye for a while, Xu Nan took the opportunity to ask Aofei about what he said about the Well of Illusion.

He originally asked tentatively, but he didn't expect that Aoife really knew something about the Well of Illusion.

It's just that his rhetoric is a little flickering-

"The words of that well are actually different from what you think."

"Lord of Darkness? That guy actually used such a secondary name. ”

"You didn't find the name? It's normal, it's a little guy that has only recently emerged, and my personal advice is, don't think too much about it, just let it be. ”

Speaking of this, he also winked at Xu Nan, which made Xu Nan feel a chill and had a lot of goosebumps all over his body.

Noticing that the atmosphere in the reception room was gradually changing, Xu Nan coughed and prepared to send off the guests.

The president of the council successfully completed the task, was in a happy mood, and declared that he would give Xu Nan a higher salary and reward before leaving.

"It's completely out of your style."

I don't know where the flow of fire came out of nowhere.,Recently, with the construction of the anonymous city,The image of the silver-haired little Lori has become more realistic.,It is estimated that the recovery speed of the flow fire has become a lot faster.。

"Huh?"

Xu Nan put away the city building agreement and the secret agreement, and it was not clear why.

"Although it can be regarded as paying protection money, with your style, you should be able to fight for your own interests to the greatest extent, right?"

Flowing Fire was a little puzzled:

"Stephensand and Paradise Lost didn't really give much—material, conservation, or whatever, in the nature of an investment...... I mean, they don't deserve that much of the proceeds. ”

"At least, you're doing more."

This little guy rarely stood in Xu Nan's position and held him up.

Xu Nan straightened his back: "It is natural to contribute to the organization......"

"I won't believe a word of this rhetoric." Liuhuo looked at Xu Nan with disdain.

Xu Nan shrugged his shoulders and showed a sly smile:

"The agreement is very clear, everyone has three profits."

"It's just that mining is a thing with high uncertainty and large upfront investment, who can guarantee profits every year? Especially in the past few years, the investment in fixed assets is large, maybe it is still in a state of loss? ”

"Even if it enters a benign operation, labor costs will increase, and warehousing and logistics costs will increase...... Whatever, it's normal to keep losing money anyway, right? ”

At this, he blinked.

The silver-haired little Lori was completely stunned, what Xu Nan said was obviously beyond her cognition.

She was down for a moment and retorted, "But the emerald mine is very valuable, and it is difficult to lose money......"

However, Xu Nan didn't bother to pay attention to her, but said to himself:

"It's time to find a good accountant."

"Every year's profits are counted as losses for Lao Tzu!"

"Of course, the filial piety expenses of Teacher Romans and Ansully, as well as other big people, are still indispensable."

As for the rest, of course, it's all in your own pocket!

Stephen Sand and Paradise Lost entrusted themselves with management, so what can be done if they are not managed well?

After all, it was the city lord Xu himself who lost even more blood in the accounts!
