"Your situation is complicated too. ”

Valrhona elegantly divides the cake, each movement exuding grace and sophistication, and the unpretentious fluidity naturally makes eating a pleasing thing to the eye.

It can be seen that the princess of the dragon clan has received a full set of human social etiquette education, and has accumulated a lot of experience in dealing with people in her travels to various countries, and it is very easy for her to play the role of "the ideal woman in the eyes of the public".

Of course, the premise is that the poisonous tongue does not flip.

"A bunch of girlfriends with all kinds of attributes, good status, eccentric temper, but rich and powerful, and at the same time caring about your adoptive father - as long as you don't pursue inexplicable ideals such as 'be a friend of justice', 'kill people to save the world', etc., and follow the established track that has been laid, your future should be very happy. ”

The knife split the fruit tart in two, and the girl's words changed.

"I don't want to put a good and happy future, I want to chase 'my own ideas'. Is this recklessness, or is it adolescent rebellion?"

"...... you mean"

Roland asked rhetorically, and the silver spoon continued to stir the black tea.

"The assertion just now. ”

The arc of the corners of her mouth seemed to say "stop pretending", and Valrhona went straight to the point.

"You should be given considerable authority, as the supreme commander on the spot, to be able to make that kind of decision, balance the demands of all parties to the greatest extent, and alleviate the contradictions, which can be said to be quite good. But Huairou's strategy is completely contrary to your adoptive father's style, right?Ah, please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's bad, it's just that it's better to maximize one's own interests than to be kind, right?"

As a bystander, he observed the behavior of the intelligent species for a long time, and only after recording and analyzing it was he that he was able to make this statement, and it was precisely because he was a bystander that he was able to understand the contradiction between Roland's behavior and the philosophy of V.E.

To put it simply, he is too kind, and he is not suitable to be a capitalist, let alone a "pure capitalist" like Li Lin or Niedhogg, who is eager to squeeze the workers dry.

"Business practices always come with risks. Borrowing is one of the riskier ones. In order to ensure that the loan can be recovered, it is necessary to ensure that the loan can be compulsorily recovered. For a long time, V.E has built up a variety of legal and illegal means, and it is this kind of authority that makes people think carefully about the cost of default. Your actions are ...... in that person's eyes."

"It doesn't matter. Just make a grade. He will accept it. ”

Put down the black tea cup. Roland said firmly:

"He values the outcome more than the process. ”

The annual interest rate of V.E's loans fluctuates between 28%~38%, and the annual interest rate of loans in shopping streets is mostly about 36%.

In a normal financial market environment. This is an out-and-out profiteering, and it is the rhythm of wanting to devour the whole family alive. But compared with the horror interest rate of up to 53% in the underworld, this is relatively "gentle".

In fact, the figure of 36% is carefully calculated. If interest rates are too high, they may become less attractive and debtors will be unable to repay. In the end, not only will it be difficult to recover the loans, but if there are a large number of suicides and escapes, the royal government can also rectify the financial market on the grounds of "affecting social stability". Although V.E is good enough to settle these troubles, it will try to avoid them as much as possible on the basis of securing profits.

Therefore, the interest rate on loans to business owners on the commercial street is 36%, which is a "modest" figure compared to the loan sharks of the gangsters.

"A 0.5% increase may not seem like much, but after the relaxation of the term, you can charge an additional two months of interest. Then in terms of results, this is still profitable. Moreover, in that case, even if the property was forcibly confiscated in order to maintain authority, it would only ruin the reputation, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Roland stretched out his hands and smiled helplessly.

For an enterprise, the intangible asset of "image" is often more valuable than fixed assets, and a company that can be more widely accepted than its competitors will always have more market share.

"Famous" and "memorable" - these are easy goals to achieve, after all, a bad reputation is also a reputation, but when it comes to "being widely accepted", I am afraid that you should not even think about it.

V.E is famous enough, and there are a lot of bad names, but it's not a smart person's thing to keep accumulating bad reputations.

"It's a long and painstaking process to build, but it's only a trivial thing to destroy – image and trust are so fragile. I think that as a loyal customer of the candy store at the Jumpy Bar, Miss Valrhona should be well aware of this. ”

"It's a beautiful counterattack, but I don't eat it. ”

The girl snickered back, and at the same time prepared several sets of arguments against Roland, convinced that the other party did not have the trump card that would force her to submit, and she was sure of victory.

Although the candy is good, there is always an alternative to the store to save zài. On the other hand, even if Roland uncovers the truth of the theft, firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, Valrhona does not take a few vigilantes in her eyes at all, and it is still impossible to threaten her.

"Nerve-wracking. ”

In anticipation of this answer, Roland closed his eyes, paused for a second or two before reopening, and said in an extremely flat tone:

"I thought that as an opportunity to get in touch with the dragon family and V.E to confirm each other's positions and ways of doing things, the shop pù should be compensated accordingly. ”

After a slightly serious response, Valrhona responded with silence for the first time, and her smile did not move to hide the change in her heart.

The hole cards were opened first, and the small chaos spread like a ripple - the expression changed slightly in an instant, and all of it was imprinted in Roland's eyes.

(Hit the bull's-eye.) ）

After the Azdahaka incident, the sluggish dragons also smelled the imminent turmoil in the world, although they still wanted to maintain a detached and isolated status, but it was also necessary to confirm the positions and strategies of all parties, and after discussion and study by the Council of Elders, they would formulate corresponding countermeasures.

Valrhona's trip is to evaluate the strength, system and relevant policies of each faction, especially the elven camp as a dark horse potential stock, and formulate the most beneficial strategy for the dragon clan on this basis.

That's why she ransacked the dessert shops in the shopping street in such a high-profile manner, and uncharacteristically stood up for others, the purpose of which was to lure out the V.E company, observe their behavior, and provide a reference for future negotiations.

"Please think about my Jianyì. ”

Lowering his body, Roland clasped his hands together.

"You're such a tough man, huh...... Anyway, I really like the stuff in that store. Also, I don't hate tough men......"

Valrhona's voice grew quieter, enveloping the night that made the young man blush and heartbeat, and the scent of rose oil diffused further in the air as she brushed her hair. Just as she was about to say something more, to conclude the negotiation, a low, unfriendly male voice sounded behind her.

"Estrus for most of the day? The Golden Dragon Clan is really depraved enough. ”

At some point, Nidhogg, dressed in a formal gown, was sitting upright in his seat with his back to Valrhona, a wry smile of pity on his face. (To be continued......)
