331 A caravan is sometimes more than just a caravan
Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then laughed coquettishly: "It turns out that the master you gave Augustine the power, but you are not completely soft-hearted, there is actually this layer of calculation, and now the calculation has failed, what should I do next?" ”
"It doesn't matter if you fail, and you don't have anything to lose." Beta said calmly: "If Augustine has no way to receive the power of his enemy, then he can also become the captain of the caravan's escort, responsible for the safety of the caravan in the future, as long as he is talented, there will always be a place to be useful." ”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shirley answered softly, "Come in." ”
The door was pushed open, and Amanda, who looked tired, was stunned when she saw Shirley hugging Beta, with an intimate look, and then smiled: "Do you want me to leave for a while?" ”
"No, you can report it directly." Shirley's smiling face was a little happy: "The master won't mind." ”
Because of the friendship between God in the nightmare fantasy, the relationship between Beta and Shirley is quite harmonious, and they can be said to be extremely close to each other. Although adhering to the bottom line, Beta will not have a substantial physical relationship with Shirley, but he has not resisted much to such an intimate hug.
Amanda is not surprised by this, nobles, if there is no frivolity, no ****, no one will believe it. She raised the stack of parchment in her hand and said, "The caravan has been built, and here is the list, which lists their basic information and specialties, as well as their personalities. You can find a time to receive it at the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Beta took the parchment, looked at a few sheets, took out ten gold coins from the space and put them on the table, and then gently pushed them in front of Amanda: "The transaction is complete, this is the fee promised in advance, please check it." ”
Ten gold coins stacked on top of each other looked very dazzling. Amanda put the gold coins in her bag and said with a sweet smile of a commercial nature: "I like to do business with such a cheerful person as Your Excellency, if there is anything else you need in the future, please feel free to come to me." ”
Hearing this, Beta's heart moved: "Amanda, are you interested in coming to work under my hands?" I still lack an accounting officer. Preferential monthly salary. ”
In the past, the ledger of income and expenses was done by Beta. When Shirley came, it was Shirley who helped. But Shirley is a powerful divine creature, and she can do a lot of things, although she is quite qualified to be an accountant, but tying her to this position is a waste for her ability.
Amanda hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shirley with a smirk and asked, "Does this accountant need to be responsible for warming your bed?" ”
Hehe! Beta laughed softly when she heard this: "If you're as pretty as Shirley and as good as her, I might as well think about it." ”
Shirley was so happy to hear Beta's compliment that she smiled so hard that she couldn't see it and pressed closer to her.
Amanda felt much more relaxed, she pretended to be 'hurt', and said dissatisfiedly: "Your Excellency's words are really hurtful...... But may I ask if this accountant has any other work to do besides his usual storage records? ”
"Record changes in the price of goods in caravans, changes in quantity. Find out the most profitable business in the current environment. Beta smiled: "Well, this kind of work is still a bit challenging." ”
Amanda's eyes lit up.
Although the girl works as an intermediary and errand service, she is essentially a businessman. Although she is a little powerful in the Chamber of Commerce because of the forces behind her, she is not qualified to lead a caravan because of her age, and because of her gender.
But if she can become the accountant mentioned by Beta, then she has the ability to decide the right to buy and sell the goods of the caravan again and again, although it is said that it is behind the scenes, but this can be regarded as indirectly controlling a caravan. Her wish since she was a child was to establish a caravan to move in all directions and make a lot of money, and if she became an accountant, it could be regarded as a way to save the country and realize her dream.
"How much is a month's salary?" The girl asked, pursing her lips.
"A fixed monthly salary is a gold coin." Beta thought for a while and said, "You first record the caravan's purchase and shipment records for one year, and after one year, you have the right to decide the caravan's share and type of goods purchased." ”
"Is there a one-year inspection period?" Amanda nodded: "Very cautious." ”
"In a year's time, ten percent of the profits of each caravan you are in charge will belong to you."
This is Beta's killer feature, after Amanda heard this, her whole body was blindfolded, and after a while, she gritted her little silver teeth and asked, "Are you sure it's ten percent?" ”
"I'm sure I'm awake now." Beta said in an indifferent tone, "We can sign a contract. ”
Amanda looked at Beta with a serious face, knowing that the other party was not lying, her lips turned bright red because of excitement: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Alright, my lovely lady accountant, shall we go and see our caravan now?"
"Okay, no problem." Amanda flicked the long hair between her cheeks and said, "Now the caravan is ours." ”
More than ten minutes later, Beta and Amanda arrived at the Chamber of Commerce again. Shirley and Jessica were put into the mansion by him.
The caravan is in the waiting room on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce. It was very wide, and rows of black benches were neatly arranged, among which more than fifty people sat scattered, most of them were men in their prime, but there were two middle-aged men, and a few teenagers who looked like they were stinking and not dry.
When the two middle-aged men saw Amanda, they greeted him, and they also saw Beta, and a look flashed in their eyes.
"Miss Amanda, it's a pleasure to see you again." One of the middle-aged men with short brown hair bowed lightly to Amanda, and then bowed his waist to Beta as a commoner to meet a nobleman, and bowed his waist: "This heroic lord must be the master of our newly established caravan." My name is Quinton, and I'm the head of the caravan, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"My name is Duroux and I am the accountant of the caravan, and it is a pleasure to meet you, my master."
Beta looked at the two middle-aged people in front of him, their faces were weathered, and at first glance they were extremely experienced people.
"Let's gather the people of the caravan, let's meet, by the way, I have something to announce."
Soon more than fifty people gathered together, and in the face of their expectant and curious eyes, Beta said: "First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Beta Lyon. Now the lord of the wetlands. From now on, your name will be 'Wetland Caravan'. ”
The caravan let out a sound of surprise, they didn't expect that the young nobleman in front of them was actually a lord.
But the two middle-aged men frowned, they knew very well that the wetland was just a swamp, and wouldn't it be in name only to become the lord of that place?
"I think some of you know what a wetland is." Beta smiled, "But I have a way of turning it into a fertile plain." Since it was a plain, it was necessary to build a castle there. After the caravan was formed, it had to transport 200 tons of stone from the city of Haveah to the wetlands every month to ensure the supply of building materials for the wetlands. ”
Quinton and Duru frowned, if the caravan was set up only to transport stones, then they really didn't have much money to take. And building a castle is not something that can be done in a few months, it will take at least two or three years.
"Transporting 200 tons of stone, I don't think it will be difficult for you. I think it'll take about half a month. For the rest of the time, you are free to buy and sell, and I will not restrict your movements. Moreover, thirty percent of the profits you make from your free trade remain in the caravan, and it is up to Quinton to decide how to distribute them. The other one will be given to Miss Amanda, and the rest will be mine, understand? ”
Amanda looked at Beta with some shock.
Most of the people in the caravan didn't have much knowledge or computing power, and they didn't know much about the term "30% profit". But Quinton and Duru were very clear, and they immediately became excited. Quinton even stepped forward and asked excitedly, "Your Excellency, this is true. ”
"I've always felt like I've always been generous." Beta smiled: "Of course, I won't be too good to those who break their promises, I'm a spellcaster, if I find out that someone is greedy for funds and conceals profits, then everyone should be able to guess the consequences." ”
Looking at the smiling beta, everyone was a chill rising from their backs and rushing to the back of their heads.
Quinton and Duru bowed their heads deeply.
Beta took out a gold brick from the space, threw it into the hands of the caravan accountant Duru, and said, "This money is your start-up capital, and it is up to you to decide how many wagons, horses, or donkeys you need." Anyway, I won't provide any more funds after that, and I'm going to take profits from you, understand? ”
The two bigwigs of the caravan, looking at the gold brick, were both shocked and happy in their hearts. They have experience and understand that such a gold brick can be exchanged for at least a hundred gold coins.
The start-up capital starts directly with a hundred gold coins, which is definitely a lot of money for a caravan.
"Tomorrow I will send a professional to your place to act as the head of the guard. You can rest assured that he will not interfere with your business decisions. ”
Quinton and Drue nodded, and in their opinion, the professional, named Protection, was actually surveillance. But this is also normal, all the caravans under the command of nobles, there will be such a person.
A few minutes later, Beta left the Chamber of Commerce, and Amanda walked beside him, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Your Excellency, is it too much to divide thirty percent to the caravan and another ten percent to me." In this way, you only have 60% of your own profits. ”
"Sixty percent of the profit is enough for me." Beta said flatly: "Money is not hard for me to earn. It's hard to have a caravan that is autonomous enough, but quite dynamic, and I'm willing to pay a little more for it. ”
"But I don't understand. If a caravan can't make more money for its master, it doesn't have much point to exist. ”
Beta smiled faintly, "I need information, an active caravan that runs around can bring me a lot of information." And in the future, our caravans, not only this one, will increase the number of caravans when the time is right. (To be continued.) )
