Chapter 480: Joining, Gold Coin Difference?
"Pls sir, is your name ......"
"Jack Charlie"
"What about age?"
"45 years old."
"Please Mr. Jack to prove your assets, including but not limited to bank passbook, property ownership certificate, share certificate, endorsement of a famous person, signature of the captain and co-captain of the Red Pearl......"
"Isn't cash okay?"
"Of course—" Whoa—
"Are these coins enough?"
“…… Of course, of course! Mr. Jack, wait a moment, please allow us to verify, this is not a distrust of you, this is a responsibility to our members, and we hope you can understand......"
"Thirty minutes for you."
"No problem! If you need anything, please feel free to command number 124! Luo Yin sat on the sofa in the office reception area, and the waiter at No. 124 earnestly asked Luo Yin if he needed anything.
"Let's have dinner, it's more portional." Luo Yin's stomach was a little hungry. Although he also has a lot of food in his storage space, he still wants to try the food here.
It's been a long time since he's been away from home, and he's forgotten what the food tastes like.
"Yes sir, please wait ten minutes!" Waiter No. 124 left in a hurry. Luo Yin glanced up at the group of people who were verifying the authenticity of the gold coins, and after seeing that they were indeed carefully verifying, he didn't pay much attention to it.
He asked the waiter No. 124 to take him to the place where he handled the membership of the Red Pearl, and after the waiter No. 124 explained a few words, the people in the office invited Luo Yin in very respectfully.
The so-called reservation is actually just a rule set for ordinary people and people who join in the fun. For the real upper-class people, there is no need to make an appointment at all, and the membership window is open for them at any time.
But Luo Yin is a fresh face, and no one endorses him, so even if they think that Luo Yin should be from an ancient family, they have to verify Luo Yin's net worth according to the procedure.
Regarding the authenticity of Luo Yin's identity, or whether Luo Yin is their guest. They don't check at all, and they can't find out.
One is that there is no Internet now, and it is still very troublesome to check a person's specific information, and they are on the sea.
The second is that some members are eligible to bring people in without registration. So there is no need to do useless work at all, as long as you make sure that Luo Yin's net worth is real.
As for some things about Luo Yin, it may not be reasonable...... That's not something he thinks about. He just needs to serve this uncle well and then report the news.
Luo Yin's fake name is Novia's surname, and he is not afraid of being checked. As for the way to prove his assets, Luo Yin chose the simplest and crudest cash, mainly because he had no other way to prove it, and he just had a few stinky money in his hand.
Of course, Luo Yin didn't have any banknotes in his hand, so he directly took out a bag of gold coins. These gold coins were all prepared by Luo Yin before, and like the silver coins he gave to the waiter, they were all pure gold coins without any figures.
Each coin weighs 25 grams, which is as large as a one-dollar coin, but slightly thicker. Precious metals are different from other things, and gold and silver coins with a certain historical background may be more valuable, but even if they do not have a background, they are still very valuable things by virtue of their own material.
However, Luo Yin wasn't sure how much this bag of gold coins was worth, and he didn't know the price of gold here, so he didn't take too much.
After all, gold is too heavy, and if you take too much at once, it is somewhat outrageous. If it wasn't enough, he could only find a chance to take out some more.
Among these verification methods, except for the recommendation of celebrities or captains, cash verification is the simplest, but this refers to the paper money in the bank account.
In the case of this kind of gold coin verification, to be honest, this is the first time these staff members have encountered it. Many of them had never seen so many gold coins in their lives, after all, precious metals had not been used here for many years.
The staff were a little excited, and they were all serious, for fear that the gentleman of the ancient family would wait for a long time. However, although cash authentication is simple, it is also relatively easy to fake, after all, money can be borrowed.
In general, even if they want to do cash certification, they have to investigate other information about the applicant and supplement the certification from the side.
But they can't check it now, after all, it's on the sea. And the manager in charge of membership management is not ready to investigate, his eyes are very vicious, and the momentum of a superior person on Luo Yin's body is too obvious, he doesn't think that Luo Yin is here to deceive members.
…… Soon, waiter No. 124 pushed open the office door, and three food trucks were pushed in turn.
One food truck serves three people, and three cars serve nine. No. 124 was obviously very interested in Luo Yin's words.
Smelling the smell of the food, those who were inspecting the gold coins swallowed. This level of food, they are also difficult to eat.
But Luo Yin's face did not change at all, he first tasted a few of the foods he liked to eat in his impression, and then commented that it was okay.
If someone else said it was okay, the waiter No. 124 would definitely think that person was pretending. But if this person is Luo Yin, then this is very reasonable - because the few delicacies that Luo Yin seems to taste at random are the most expensive ingredients that they can take out at this level!
It is difficult to tell the preciousness of most ingredients with the naked eye. Only if you have tasted it yourself, and you have tasted it many times, can you tell the difference between good and bad - this is actually the careful thinking of No. 124.
He is also a little clever to be a waiter who specializes in serving the rich. Luo Yin casually found the most expensive ingredients, which is obviously not luck, but habit.
I'm used to eating this kind of delicacies! What kind of family conditions are these! No. 124 raised Luo Yin's status in his heart again.
Luo Yin, who has always behaved very smartly, really didn't expect this. It's just food, you can eat it if you like it, and you don't eat it if you don't like it, it's as simple as that.
He just habitually tasted the food he remembered favorites. Relatively speaking, the food on the side of the Divine Creation Continent is much better than that on the Holy Dome Continent, and there are dark dishes, but it is not as exaggerated as the Holy Dome Continent.
Even with Luo Yin's pickiness about food, it can be said
"Not bad". Sure enough, humans are still much stronger than orcs when it comes to eating. Luo Yin is relatively hungry, so he eats faster, but his movements are very elegant, much more natural than some people who pretend to be in posture, and at first glance he is a person with a deep aristocratic cultivation.
Waiter No. 124 silently admired - not that he had any special habits, but that he wanted to seize every opportunity to come into contact with the upper class, and strive to learn something from them, even if it was just a simple daily habit, he would keep it in mind.
No one wants to be a cruise ship waiter for the rest of their lives, at least not to. But looking at it, No. 124 opened his mouth wide.
"Eat, eat? Eaten it all? Luo Yin wiped his mouth and barely ate five points full. Just pad your stomach a little and taste the flavor of Shenchuang Continent, it's not good to eat too much and scare others.
No. 124 hurriedly brought the prepared tea and dessert after the meal, and then pushed the dining cart away. Except for some crumbs and inedible shapes, these plates are basically compact discs.
No. 124 silently added an entry to Luo Yin: Don't waste food, Mr. Jack's tutor should be very strict.
Generally speaking, only those families with a certain historical background, ancient families who have experienced famine and war, will cherish food so much.
This is far from being comparable to the nouveau riche...... Luo Yin finished his meal, and the gold coin verification over there was just over.
"Mr. Jack, after verification by our Red Pearl Membership Management Department, there are a total of 500 gold coins you have provided, each with a total weight of 12.5 kilograms, and a value of 12.5 million Cais. Fully compliant with our membership criteria! Please sign your name here and I will personally deliver your membership card to you tomorrow morning. ”
"Oh? 12.5 million? Luo Yin was a little surprised. The price of this gold coin ...... Looks a bit high! Luo Yin has lived in both continents, and he feels that in terms of purchasing power alone, the purchasing power of Qiong or Sirius is actually similar to that of Case Coin, at most there is a fluctuation of ± 20%, which is about 1 Qiong Coin is about 0.8~1.2 Case Coins.
For the sake of calculation, for the time being, it will be 1:1. In the Holy Dome, the price of 1 gram of gold is 100 Qiong Coins, while in the Case Empire, the price of 1 gram of gold is 1000 Case?
That is, there is a tenfold difference? Hiss - he seems to have found a great business opportunity. However, this is just his speculation, the specific situation has to be analyzed in detail, it is difficult to say whether there is a tenfold price difference, but the gold of the Divine Creation Continent is more expensive than the Holy Dome Continent.
This should be a matter of gold mine production, and it is estimated that there are not too many gold mines on this side of Shenchuang Continent, and the output is not too high.
Although there are not many gold mines in the Holy Dome Continent, there are many in Nansi Mengzhou, and Luo Yin himself doesn't know how many gold mines there are.
We'll have to look into it later! If you can really make a lot of money through this, then you must not let it go...... But...... I said that I would just come back to see it this time, but I thought about business again - occupational disease again.
Luo Yin was a little helpless. The manager looked at Luo Yin and fell into deep thought, he thought that Luo Yin was not satisfied with this valuation, so he hurriedly explained: "We calculated according to the exchange rate before going to sea, there is no falsehood, please rest assured Mr. Jack!" ”
"Okay." Luo Yin looked at the document handed over by the manager, the content on it was very simple, you only need to pay an entrance fee of 500,000 yuan and an annual fee of 500,000 yuan to officially become a member.
No wonder this member's request is so simple and rude, no internal invitation, no need to investigate the background or anything, you can join directly by showing your net worth of 10 million, so you are waiting here!
The entrance fee plus the annual fee for the first year is 1 million! If there are only 10 million people with a net worth, there is a high probability that they are reluctant to join.
And net worth and cash are two concepts, and some people with a net worth of tens of millions may not even be able to take out a million cash.
Of course, none of this matters to Luo Yin. One million is only 40 gold coins, sprinkled with water.
However, unlike the news that Luo Yin heard in the bath before, this member is not a Red Pearl member, but a member of the Red Pearl Club.
The Red Pearl is one of the assets of the Red Pearl Club, and members of the Club can enjoy the benefit of riding the Red Pearl for free.
In addition to the Red Pearl, there are many other benefits that are worth the annual fee. Of course, people who join the Red Pearl Club are certainly not just for wool.
What they care about is actually the social attributes, and the strong alliance is what they want, which is also the capital of the club that dares to ask for the 500,000 annual meeting, and the benefits are only incidental.
After happily signing his name, Luo Yin officially joined the Red Pearl Club, but in the identity of Jack's vest.
"Which payment method does Mr. Jack choose?" If it is not convenient for you for the time being, you can pay after you go ashore. The manager spoke very politely.
"Just use the gold coins, and take it yourself."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Jack for trusting our Red Pearl Club!" The manager immediately counted out forty gold coins from the gold coin bag.
Luo Yin paid a million dues at once, so it is impossible for anyone to doubt whether he is cheating.
If someone really spends such a lot of money to fake, then their Red Pearl Club is too fond of it.
After all, they just provide a social platform, whether you can have a good relationship with other elders, becoming a member is only the most basic, the most important thing is to see your personal ability, this is not a fake.
After getting the status of a member, Luo Yin didn't stay here for long, he said to No. 124: "Open a room for me." ”
"Yes sir, please come with me." No. 124 took Luo Yin upstairs. The room Luo Yin said was naturally not an ordinary tourist room, but an upper room exclusive to members.
No. 124 also understood, and he took Luo Yin to the fifth floor. The Red Pearl has seven floors, the lowest floor is the largest, and is the powertrain and storehouse, where some sailors also live.
The second, third, and fourth floors are places where non-members can stay and play, and all kinds of facilities are available, and you need to pay an additional fee.
Of course, members can also come over, and all programs are free. The fifth, sixth, and seventh floors are members-only areas, and most of the programs here are free for members.
But there are also some that come at an additional cost. For example, the room you are staying in. The ship is so big, there must be some good locations and some bad locations.
The customers here are all valued members, and no matter who is allowed to stay in a good place, others who do not live will feel uncomfortable.
So the Red Pearl got a strategy of making most of the rooms free, but a small number of well-located rooms were charged extra, and they were expensive.
This can not only divert the contradictions, but also make a lot of money. But now the few good rooms have been selected, after all, there are indeed many elders who came this time.
"By the way, who are in these rooms?" Luo Yin asked about the rooms that needed to be increased, and the staff on the fifth floor also answered Luo Yin very politely, this is not a secret to the members, and they will know it when they check it.
So there was nothing wrong with him answering Luo Yin. Luo Yin chose a room with an average location, but relatively close to the Capet family.
Coincidentally, when Luo Yin went to the room, he happened to run into someone from the Capet family.
