Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another four days have passed, and Henry is standing on the second floor of the guild at the moment looking at the busy scene outside, the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a satisfied smile.

After receiving a large sum of money, the slum renovation project was finally launched, although it was not smooth at first, and large numbers of ragged residents were reluctant to leave their homes and even gathered to rebel.

However, in the next two days, Wahid led a large number of people to go door-to-door to coerce and lure, and promised to give everyone a new home after the demolition, and these people reluctantly left the shack and joined the demolition brigade, bulldozing the dirty and dangerous old houses, and the sound of rumbling and collapsing was endless.

Of course, there is a reason why the workers work so hard. A salary of one silver coin a day, three meals, and drinking water, such conditions are like a dream for those poor people who usually can't even eat enough to eat.

Especially when it was close to noon, the smell of fish soup from the cauldron made them swallow their saliva non-stop, just looking forward to finishing the work at hand and going to eat.

"Little wildcat, do you see that? These poor people have begun to identify with me, and when the whole project is over, they will worship me as a god, and at that time, no one will be able to take these streets with me. That's the first lesson I'm going to teach you, cohesion. Henry said to the girl beside him without looking back.

Fadini blinked as if she didn't understand: "Cohesion? Do you mean to woo the people around you with benefits? ”

Hearing the girl's understanding, Henry smiled and shook his head: "It's also right, it's not right." Giving benefits is one thing. What's more, the good thing is. You have to give them hope. Humans are a race with complex feelings. On the one hand, their interests are paramount, and it is difficult to be impressed if they do not see tangible benefits. On the other hand, they yearn for spiritual sustenance, so they want to give these people a goal, but one that at least seems achievable. When the two are combined, human beings burst out with great potential and enthusiasm, which is called cohesion. ”

"It sounds a bit complicated, but I can barely understand it. But are you sure it's really okay to make such a big move? I've heard that many guilds have sent a lot of spies to watch you! Fadini had a worried look on her face.

The girl still can't believe it. In just a few days, a seemingly whimsical plan actually began to break ground, and the other guilds around it just silently observed, and no one came to trouble at all, even the "Viper" McJid, who was severely cleaned up, endured this breath for some reason.

Henry smiled disdainfully and whispered, "It's okay, just let them stare at it." Now everyone is waiting, as long as the transformation is not completed for a day, and a day does not generate huge profits, these guys will not act rashly. And it will also discourage those who want to find trouble. Because we're in the midst of a reform, and if it succeeds, it's good for the whole gang in Port Carlin. ”

In fact, the gang structure in Port Carlin is quite primitive. It was still in the stage of street violence, stealing, robbery, collecting protection money, and controlling the warblers, and only a very small number of grand guilds were qualified to engage in big businesses such as smuggling, selling narcotics, weapons and armor, and buying and selling slaves.

They simply don't understand that they can make more money by combining threats of violence with serious business, such as running bars, nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, casinos, loan sharks, ......

What he has to do is to lead this transformation and make the entire underground force change from disorder to order. In this way, these guys, who only think about fighting and killing all day long, will slowly begin to learn to negotiate and compromise under the drive of interests, and the masters of the runes will definitely be tempted to come and meet their initiators in person.

Of course, such a large project cannot be completed in a day or two, and according to the plan, it will take at least a month to complete the first step, which is to pave the road to the market and the dock, and then build shops on both sides of the road.

After all, to feed so many mouths for eating, if you can't get in and out, you will have to go bankrupt in less than a month and a half.

Just as Henry was considering whether to buy something to sell first, Wahid came up from the staircase panting in leather armor and shouted: "Boss, this place will be renovated the day after tomorrow, see if you want to start recruiting cooks, waiters, and bartenders." In addition, alcohol and tobacco have to be purchased. ”

"You can do it, I have only one request, and that is that it must not be made like a country tavern, so that every guest feels like they are in the palace. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that whether it is a tavern on the first floor, a restaurant on the second floor, or a casino in the basement, all have performances, and there is no messing around. For example, the atmosphere in the bar is lively, so you can find a few girls with good bodies to dance a seductive dance, the restaurant is quieter, and you can find a bard to play an instrument or sing, and the casino needs something to stimulate the senses. ”

Combining the entertainment and service industries, this is Henry's killer feature to attract guests, maybe it is rotten on the earth, but no one in the Continent of Faeron has done this.

Because high-end entertainment venues like this, which require a lot of upfront investment, are expensive to maintain, and are dedicated to the wealthy, can only make money in large cities with sufficient populations and thriving businesses. But in the entire continent of Faerun, cities with enough qualifications can be counted on ten fingers, Waterdeep City and Am's capital city of Ascatra are not up to the mark, and Port Carlin, with a population of 200,000, happens to be one of them.

The city's abundance of wealthy people due to almost unrestricted trade, combined with the huge floating population in the port area, can drive the entertainment and service industries, with the luxury of the Djinn Inn being the best example.

The long list of requests gave Vahid a little headache, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll have someone post the notice tomorrow, and then send someone to buy the goods." You must know that our expenses are a bit big these days, I just looked at the account book, it is shocking, I must do my best to make some money. ”

saw the middle-aged uncle with a fierce face in front of him. Henry smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry. Before the road is opened. We are not destined to make much money, so it is natural to have a good time. Focus on engineering, and keep an eye on McGeed, I made him lose so many men, and I also swept his face, this guy will definitely not give up. ”

"Don't worry about that, I've already recruited a few good players, and if he dares to send someone to find trouble. Make sure you don't want to go back alive. As he spoke, Vahid clenched the short sword at his waist.

He had always hated McGid's last attack in his absence, and vowed to make him look good at every opportunity.

With the large amount of gold coins scattered, the current Phantom Guild is no longer the state of two or three kittens a few days ago, there are more than two hundred official members alone, plus it is in the large-scale construction period, and the number of adult men who indirectly control zhì is more than three thousand, although most of them are poor people who can't eat enough, but if someone dares to touch their rice bowl, the consequences will definitely be very strict.

Vahid now admired more and more the courage and means of his young leader. Transforming shanty towns, although it may seem a bit whimsical, is in the process. Every resident of the nearby streets will have a close connection with the guild, and it won't be long before they taste the sweetness and they will regard the guild as their own people, and even if those big guilds covet these streets, they won't dare to do it lightly.

"Then I'll leave it to you, try to make these workers eat better, their physique itself is not very good, if the nutrition is not enough, it is easy to have accidents. I hired them to leave a good name and not let a good thing turn into a bad thing. ”

Henry finally admonished. Although he doesn't think of himself as a good person, he still disdains to exploit poor people who don't even have decent clothes.

"The meals we served were not bad, there was fish and meat for lunch and dinner, and the workers were very satisfied. I will keep an eye on the person in charge of buying and cooking, and I will not give him the opportunity to embezzle a copper plate. ”

Wahid was not stupid and knew that there would be great benefits to be gained by doing so, so he did not hesitate to give assurances. He believed that if this situation continued, more than 3,000 workers would sooner or later become members of the guild, and that as long as no one was given a weapon, they would be transformed into thugs in an instant.

More than 3,000 thugs!

Although it is just a group of civilians with no professional rank, they can already speak loudly in the underground world of Port Carlin, and even the most powerful night thief guild may not be able to pull out 2,000 people.

Looking at the ambition in Vahid's eyes, Henry smiled with satisfaction: "Very good, busy with your go." Remember, I never treat my faithful men badly. Sue the guys you recruited, when this street is built, each boss will get a shop, and they will only need to pay half of the profits every month, and the rest will be all for themselves. ”

Interests are evenly distributed!

He knows very well that this is not only external, but also internal, especially those guild managers who have certain ambitions, which is also part of the bundle of interests, and only when the internal stability is stable can we maintain unity and unity externally.

"Really...... It's true!! Vahid's mouth widened in surprise, unable to believe what he was hearing.

After so many years on the street, it was the first time he had seen such a generous guild leader, and the other bosses were desperately eating alone, not allowing their subordinates the opportunity to expand their power, so the whole person seemed a little excited.

Obviously, this is what Henry wants, to completely stun the newly recruited subordinates with huge benefits.

Staring at Wahid's face, which was flushed with excitement, he replied without hesitation: "Of course, you can tell everyone that my goal is to integrate the chaotic underground world of Port Carlin, and as long as they show enough talent, they can be richly rewarded. Of course, there is also the premise that the rules I have set must be followed, otherwise it will be a terrible price! As much as I hate the use of violence, I don't mind a cameo as an executioner at some point. ”

After Henry finished speaking, his eyes immediately became extremely sharp, and the whole person exuded a terrifying momentum, causing the temperature in the room to drop to freezing in an instant......
