Chapter 99: Politeness and Affection?
The "gift" given by the little prince Simba was brought to the main hall.
The "gift" is a living person, different from the gold coin treasures of other families.
They are Jarvis, the penguin steward, and three fox clan financial stewards.
Jarvis, the penguin butler, is an old man, with meticulous silver hair, he is personable, wearing a black tuxedo and a bow tie full of rituals, although he is old, but his waist is as straight as a warrior.
Jarvis is a well-known figure in the capital's aristocratic circle stewardship, in the past 40 years he has served as the head of five big families, dedication is his motto, he can put the daily arrangements of the whole big family in order, any tricky things will be easily solved in his hands.
Trained in orthodox royal etiquette, Jarvis has hosted dozens of national banquets, and each time they have ended in absolute perfection, and even His Majesty the King has praised the silver-haired old butler.
The patriarch of each family was naturally full of praise for him.
The value of such a legendary butler is no longer easy to measure in gold coins.
It's hard to imagine what means the little prince Simba used to dig up Jarvis.
Chang Hao was sincerely amazed by the little prince's keen insight.
The victorious Guangmingye is now not short of gold coins, food, and supplies, a lot of human equipment is waiting for him to sell, and the sky-high ransom is waiting for him to collect, and Guangmingye will live a super-well-off life for a period of time in the future, but only lack of talents.
Talent is not only technical talents, but also life management talents.
So far, there is no systematic living system in Guangmingye, so the current residents of Guangmingye now rely on experience and self-consciousness. In this way, the situation can barely be made up for a short time, but as time drags on and the light field develops, the more and more deadly the ills will be exposed.
The little prince Simba looked at the problem from a different perspective than other nobles, and he saw the hidden problems under the prosperity of the bright field, so he gave such a big gift.
A big gift that Chang Hao couldn't refuse.
"Greetings Jarvis, Steward, Lord. Jarvis's white-gloved hand rested on his chest, bowing slightly, and his movements were as standard as a textbook.
"Welcome to the Bright Wild, Jarvis. Chang Hao smiled and said: "Guangmingye doesn't have any strong capital, no magnificent halls, and the food is not the popular delicacies of the mountains and seas in the aristocratic circle, can you get used to these?"
"Extravagant life is the devil and will drag people into the abyss. Jarvis's silver hair glistened, "But there's one thing I think the lord said was wrong. ”
"Oh, which point?" Chang Hao couldn't help but be interested.
"It's your hall. Jarvis looked up, his eyes full of the light of admiration for the artwork: "This hall full of exotic culture is perfectly designed, giving people a majestic and restrained beauty, compared with the empty luxury but no connotation mansion built by ordinary aristocratic gate lords for face, it seems much cheaper." ”
The monk camp in the main hall exchanged heads and ears for a while, especially Ling Xingyi gave a thumbs up to Jarvis, this old man can do it, he is knowledgeable!
Chang Hao was also surprised by the legendary butler's keen artistic sense, and then introduced him to the cadre composition and organizational structure of Guangmingye, and Jarvis remembered it in his heart.
"Guangming Ye is still blank in terms of life management, and it will trouble you about the establishment of order. Emilia bowed to Jarvis.
"Respected Magician, please rest assured, I will draw up a regulation as soon as possible, based on my previous experience in various families. Finding that the person who spoke was the closest female magician who could stand beside the lord, Jarvis didn't dare to be half lazy, and the respectful attitude in his words was not much different from talking to Chang Hao.
"Don't be too strict, you have to have a basic code of conduct, but don't make too many rules, otherwise life will be boring. Chang Hao added.
Jarvis nodded, he noticed that this lord seemed to be a little different from other nobles, but he couldn't speak for a while.
At the end of the meeting, Chang Hao asked Jarvis to take three fox clan financial personnel and Herbert to count the seized equipment first, so as to prepare for the sale of the meeting. Jarvis thought it would be a good time to take a look at the lord's storehouse, and agreed.
"Well, this is the loot warehouse. Herbert pushed open the warehouse door, and Jarvis and the three fox financial butlers were dumbfounded.
Thousands of Misoli silver armor were piled up into small hills, annihilation arrows and matching crossbows were thrown all over the ground, what was that pile of iron bumps in the corner?
Hell, that couldn't be the armor of the Tower Shield Heavy Scythe, right?
The gods are above, have they sacked an entire army of human cavalry?
Jarvis remembered his last old employer, the Akran family, whose master liked to collect equipment from the Human Empire, and once he bought a well-preserved set of Misoli bronze armor from the black market, and used this armor as a gimmick for a whole three days to hold a viewing party, which can be said to have made a lot of face in the circle.
Jarvis smiled wryly and shook his head, not knowing what Lord Akram would have if he saw this Misoli silver armor that was so much that it could be weighed in catties.
Only then did Jarvis remember that when he was in the capital some time ago, he had heard that it seemed that the lord of which family had won the war in a foreign war, and he did not pay attention to this matter as a professional housekeeper. Now that I think about it, the Eight Achievements are the bright wilderness that I said.
Surprised, the three fox financial stewards immediately threw themselves into the inventory work.
The fox race is the most calculating of the countless orcs, and their sensitivity to numbers is unusual. I saw that the three financial stewards subdivided several piles of armored hills belonging to different units into categories with astonishing speed, and the oblivion arrows all over the ground were bundled and put away, and the Spartan bears fought under their arrangement.
They classify the equipment, calculate the quantity and label it, and record everything in an orderly manner to form a paper entry and exit record that can be consulted.
In just an hour, the messy loot warehouse was completely renewed, all the equipment was lined up in order, and the complete warehouse records were made.
"Wow. Herbert can only describe his mood in two words.
Jarvis had chosen one of the three financial butlers to manage the loot storehouse, and he had thought that three financial officers would be enough to handle a fledgling territory, but now it seems that she still underestimated the lord's background.
"I wonder if I can ask Chief Jarvis to join me at the business negotiations with the nobles? "It is said that the bear man's brain can't turn, but Herbert's brain is not slow at all, it's just that a few fox people are in charge of finance, so isn't Jarvis himself even more powerful?
"It's a great honor. Jarvis said with a smile.
At the business negotiation meeting with the spokespersons of the major families, an unexpected scene appeared. Although Herbert was well aware of the price of human equipment, in terms of eloquence and business acumen, a hundred Herberts together were less than one-tenth of the shrewdness of these family spokesmen, and they did not have the upper hand from the beginning.
They opened their mouths endlessly, took out the ability to press the bottom of the box, and infinitely magnified all kinds of factors in their favor, and suppressed the price of these human equipment as much as possible.
It is no exaggeration to say that every word these family spokespersons say, they can fight for an extra profit percentage point for the family behind them.
With their signature smiles on their faces, the family spokesmen looked at Herbert, who was sweating profusely, and they felt that they had won the battle.
But a sentence from an old man broke the plans of the family spokespeople.
"In order to thank the various families for their support to my bright field, we will not sell human armaments to just one clan or a few clans, we will involve everyone and sell these armaments in a competitive manner. ”
The meticulous old man who combed his silver hair added one last time.
"You have reason to believe that these will be the closest human armaments to you for a long time to come. You are all the best in the business circles of the capital, and you all know that there is such a thing as opportunity, once you miss it, it will not be again. ”
The family spokespeople hid their faces and cried out in pain, their plans were self-defeating.
When it comes to bidding, it is equivalent to letting yourself fight among yourself, and whoever bids higher can have the last laugh. The families behind them are determined to acquire these armaments, and if someone else doesn't make a penny more, it means that someone else has to earn a penny less. Less profit is loss, this is the most basic and most unbreakable business principle.
After hearing the news, many family spokespersons immediately began to write letters to the family, asking for more capital injection.
Herbert and Jarvis looked at each other and smiled, and they succeeded.
According to the statistics of the three fox clan stewards later, Guangmingye sold all the equipment out at this auction for all families, making a total profit of more than 870,000 gold coins, which provided a vital financial guarantee for Guangmingye's next stage of development.
