Even now, Gavin's total working capital is only five million - this refers to cash only, fixed assets and unsold goods are not counted. For example, the regeneration ring series, Gavin has really taken away What is for sale is only the quick healing series. The more advanced ones are either digested internally or given away as gifts. The rest are still in the hand. This thing will not depreciate. Sometimes it is more expensive than money. What to wait for? Sometimes, the liquidity cannot be opened, and disposal of them will be considered only at the end.
The speed at which Gavin is making money now is indeed different from before. He still has no time to carefully count the properties in his hands and how much money he can make for himself every day. Anyway, it is a lot. It is no exaggeration to make a lot of money every day.
But he couldn't stop spending money faster.
Ms. Strategy’s first voter, Catherine, donated two to three million in material donations as soon as he changed hands.
The starting capital and supplies for the establishment of the Conqueror's caravan were two million.
Swamp farming and Stark shrub planting and cultivation require a starting capital of one million. The black-scaled lizard people do not need to spend money, but purchasing and hoarding Stark shrubs in the Kingdom of Cormyr requires a lot of money.
Over in the King's Forest, the bill for the wild beast disaster he caused has not yet been released. It is initially estimated that the bill will not be worth a million. However, Gavin is not prepared to compensate directly in cash, but is prepared to use materials or assistance in reconstruction. method of deduction.
This can not only reduce the pressure on working capital, but also take the opportunity to push out your infrastructure team, especially the kobold construction team. In the case of disaster relief, the acceptance capacity of those humans will be greatly improved, and thus they can subtly move to Cormyr. The kingdom infiltrates and fully turns an adverse situation into an advantage.
King Asan has no objections to this plan, because he knows that multi-racial cooperation is a major feature of Gavin's power. It is what distinguishes him most from others, and is also one of the core reasons for his rapid development. He wants to You have to adapt to this when using him.
In fact, the biggest source of liquidity is the sale of war supplies that Gavin is preparing to start with the Kingdom of Cormyr. Before the war breaks out completely, there is no way to get this part of the funds back. The Kingdom of Cormyr does not provide financial support. Free ocean shipping only.
This is another reason why Gavin throws out a second set of aspects to these Nimir villages. Rather than directly throwing money at people, he hopes that these villagers can take a longer-term view and take less of the current benefits in exchange for more benefits in the future. Huge benefits.
From the current point of view, this proposal is not generally forward-looking. The matter of jointly establishing a factory and receiving dividends is far beyond the cognitive scope of these villagers. They cannot understand this kind of thing themselves, so they forcefully implement it. In a short period of time, It is thankless, but will be regarded as a liar by them, which is not conducive to the establishment of a glass water lamp factory.
"Wait a minute, don't make a decision in a hurry. Compared to taking one million gold lions directly, I think Lord Gavin's second plan is more worthy of consideration. We can get greater benefits from it." The old mage said. Lansen finally ended his long thinking and shouted loudly to stop the villagers from Nimeer.
Although he is only an intermediate mage who has not yet reached the extraordinary level, he has seen a lot of people and things in the places he has traveled. Although the business operation model proposed by Gavin is novel, it is not too difficult to figure out, and he will soon be able to understand it. The advantages and disadvantages of the two options are compared.
"Dad, why are you so crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Dad Harlanson, finally someone is willing to pay a high price to buy our aqueduct, so please don't mess up here."
"Mr. Harlanson, just rest. Our whole village will never forget your kindness. Please stop making blind ideas. This is your greatest contribution to our village."
"Dad is the most knowledgeable person among us, and he has never harmed us... At most, it was an unintentional mistake. We might as well listen to his different ideas."
"It's better to listen to it. There won't be much loss anyway."
The villagers of Nimir Village have two completely different factions. One faction has lost confidence in the old mage and is not willing to listen to his advice at all. The other faction believes that he has worked hard even if he has no credit. Regarding the glowing channel, he Those who claim the greatest credit have a certain right to speak, and they have no right to deprive them of it.
The villagers of Nimir Village gathered here now are no longer the dozens of young and strong people at the beginning. Most of the people in the village have gathered here and surrounded the place three times inside and three times outside. Even the chief executive is talking. The person has already been replaced by the most virtuous and respected person in the village.
This is the most typical village community. There is no administrative organization. It is a family-style joint autonomy. Matters are discussed by the more powerful family patriarchs and elders. Haranson is also one of them, but he is a bit marginalized.
"Two adults, can you give us some time? Let us discuss among ourselves and unify our opinions?" Haranson did not rush to refute, but turned to Gavin and Ms. Gowther and asked.
"Okay, I'll give you one night. I'll come back tomorrow morning." Gavin waved his hand and put away the three pretentious treasure boxes, then dragged Gowther's mother and activated the teleportation technique, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The use of this spell completely confirmed his identity as an extraordinary spellcaster.
"Confused, Dad Harlanson, you are so confused, how can you let him go? We finally found a buyer for our canal. If they regret it, what if they don't come tomorrow? Our canal will be penniless. not worth."
"Dad, you have tricked us again this time."
"Everyone has already left. There is no point in regretting. Let's calm down together and listen to what dad wants to say. Again, dad is a native of the village and will definitely not harm us."
"If we can't come up with a reasonable reason, this matter will not be over today."
Many villagers in Nimir Village stamped their feet angrily, as if they had let go of a golden mountain.
"You are completely blinded by money and have no regard for the authenticity of this matter. What if they are liars?" Old Mage Haranson asked in a serious tone.
"A liar? An extraordinary spellcaster liar?"
"Who would use a million gold lions to deceive people? If there is such a good thing, I will be willing to be deceived."
"We are already so poor. We have nothing but this luminous aqueduct. What else is there to be afraid of? He can't move the luminous aqueduct."
The villagers of Nimir Village looked disapproving. They are typically barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Only those with money are likely to be cheated. Now they don't even have the chance to be cheated. They are still poor.
"Just because he is an extraordinary mage, we must be more careful. These powerful mage's definition of wealth is different from ours. Sometimes what they need is even beyond your knowledge, and we cannot afford it either." , such as souls, so the most important thing for us now is to determine their identities and know who we are making a deal with. Don't even know who we are making a deal with. Jason, you can run away on my flying broomstick. Go to Susar and find out the identities of these two people, the sooner the better." The old mage's profound knowledge is not directly proportional to his professional level. The professional level is limited by his own talent, but his knowledge is not limited. And it's never-ending.
"What dad said makes sense. In this world, except for devils, who would give money to people for nothing? Or give a million gold lions. There must be something you want. We were really a little dazzled by money just now. "
"Dad is very thoughtful. If the other party really comes for our luminous water channel, he will definitely come again tomorrow. If he doesn't come, it means he has other agendas."
"The city of Susar is so big, where can Jason go to find out information about two people by himself?"
As soon as the word "devil" came out, a basin of cold water was poured over the heads of the hot-headed villagers of Nimir Village. It was not a trivial matter that involved them. When the time comes, they would be killed if they were killed, no matter how cautious they were. Yes, especially when the other party mentioned various contracts.
"A person who wants to take out one million golden lions without blinking an eye will definitely not be an unknown person, even in Susar City. He should be able to spy easily. If he snoops, Less than a little bit of information shows that there is something wrong with this person. Even if he can really cough up a million, we can't sign these contracts easily." The reasons given by the old mage were impeccable, which made even those who lacked trust in him The villagers of Nimir Village nodded involuntarily.
Seeing that the villagers' recognition of him has increased significantly, Harlanson continued his efforts: "As for the two plans given by Lord Gavin, both have advantages and disadvantages. I will analyze them in detail for you.
In terms of risk and short-term profit, it is definitely more cost-effective to sell the canal directly. As long as we make sure that the other party is not a devil pretending to be a devil, we can leave immediately after we get the money, even the village.
But from now on, whether the glass water lamp sells well or not has nothing to do with us.
If the glass water lamp doesn't make money, that's it. If it makes hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions, are you sure you won't regret it?
Don't rush to refute, do you think that an extraordinary spellcaster who can produce one million golden lions is a fool who can't even compare to you? Will you make a loss-making transaction?
Definitely not, he will only want to use this one million to give birth to more one million.
If this Lord Gavin really has an extraordinary origin, it means that our luminous aqueduct is really valuable, and the value it can create is not just this million, but even higher.
We should seize this opportunity and join in. When he eats meat, we follow him and take a sip of soup. We believe that even the leftovers will be worth more than one million.
One day, it is very possible that we don’t need to work and can just sit at home and count money. However, in this process, all we have to pay is a luminous channel.
Don't think about that one million anymore. It's just a number in the other person's mouth. It hasn't been in our hands yet. It doesn't count as money. It just represents a luminous water channel. "
The words of the old mage Haranson can be called sober in the world.
Although he really wanted to promote the glass water lanterns and create more wealth for the villagers of Nimir Village, he was not easily dazzled by Gavin's lavish spending. Instead, he was filled with worry.
There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. If such a good thing really hits you, the first thing you should consider is whether this is a sinkhole that has fallen down, waiting for you to jump into it, and then take you into it. The eternal hell.
"Dad Haralson, this analysis is completely reasonable. We must consider this matter carefully. Whether it is to seek greater wealth or for our lives, it is not terrible to be poor, but we are afraid that we will continue to be poor. The chance is gone.”
"If the other party really has such a strong business ability, it is really better to put money in the hands of this adult to make money. After all, most of us have no business acumen. A ditch can make us miserable, even if it is If there are literally thousands or even tens of thousands of golden lions in our hands, they will all be destroyed in a short time."
"It's true. I've been given so many golden lions, and I really don't know what to do!"
"Stupid, money is most unsafe when it is placed in other people's hands. It has to be in your own hands. I would rather put it under my bed to rust than let others take my money. Maybe it will be gone if I turn around." ”
"Our understanding of this gentleman is too limited, and we really can't place much trust in him."
"It's too early for you to worry. The whole thing is limited to verbal promises. It's better to wait until Jason comes back from Susal and that adult can come to our place on time for the appointment tomorrow. We will discuss other things. What we have to do now All I have to do is go home and sleep.”
"Ha... with this dream of a million golden lions, can you still sleep tonight?"
"Who says you can't sleep? Maybe you'll sleep better."
"Let's disperse, let's all disperse. Tomorrow morning, before the sun rises, we will meet here again. Then we will know the authenticity."
Most of the villagers in Nimir Village dispersed one after another, and some of them didn't feel sleepy at all and started talking directly in front of Haranson's tower. Some of the people who left came back soon, and even Bring a simple bedroll or bench.
There is no other way. There are really not many people who can have a big heart and fall asleep with a million gold lions. Most of them are suffering from insomnia and cannot fall asleep. It is better to chat with someone while waiting.
Not to mention the villagers of Nimir Village who suffered collective insomnia due to Gavin, let’s continue talking about Gavin and Ms. Gowther who were teleported away from here.
"Where is this?" Ms. Gowser just glanced at it and determined that they were not outside the city of Susar. Although there was a shadow of a huge city not far away, because there was no way to see the city far above Susar. In the Purple Dragon Palace in Saar City, there are no lights that stay up all night.
The city in the distance has long been dark and has fallen into a deep sleep. There are not many people like them running around in the middle of the night. That is to say, now that Gai is a bold and artistic person, Faerun at night is better than during the day. Ten times more sinister.
The pair of eyes that lit up after they completed the transmission were proof. However, this peeping lasted for less than three seconds before countless whimpering sounds came from the distance. They all turned around and ran away, as if they saw someone far away. Like monsters more powerful than them.
Ms. Gowther knew her own affairs, and she definitely did not have this ability. It must be because of the young man next to her. These wild beasts sensed the danger in him and fled.
Whenever she was with this young man, Ms. Gauser felt like she was back ten years ago, when she first entered the adventurous life, and everything she encountered was new.
This young man, who is nearly half her age, is taking herself into a new world and embarking on a new adventurous life in a different way than before, but she cannot refuse because it makes her feel that she has not seen her for a long time. Vitality and excitement, and gain a lot of wealth and achievements.
"This is Arabeb City." Gavin replied, "I need to visit another collaborator here."
"At this time? We're afraid we won't be able to enter the city, right?" Ms. Gowther glanced at the sleeping city. Even if Gavin had a unique identity, it was unlikely that he would open the city gate, and such a city would inevitably It has a city defense mystery lock and cannot be teleported in.
"The collaborators I want to meet are not in the city. They have their own castle and manor. Let's talk as we walk." Gavin used the flying technique for himself and Ms. Gowther, and said while flying forward, "I'm going to Let the glass water lamp business be run by a lady. I wonder what her intention is?"
"Leave it to me?" Gao Se's mother couldn't help but pause. She was surprised and said with a wry smile, "That's a million-dollar deal, and I can't afford that much money."
"What I mean is to build a joint venture factory. The Nimir Village collective, my wife and I each hold a part of the shares. The water canal in Nimir Village will be built, and I will provide the funds. The lady will only be responsible for management, operation and sales, and then we will Dividends will be distributed according to the number of shares held." Gavin explained patiently, "The initial investment is not as big as the lady imagined. Two or three hundred thousand is a big deal. I won't send kobolds to build the factory. You can directly do it. Nimir Village hired people to build the bricks on site using the kind of bio-cement produced by Bangbao Crayfish, and by the way, they helped me test the properties of this bio-cement."
The hotel chain on the other side of the long road has proven that Ms. Gowther is very talented in business. She is good at selling things.
For a novel product like glass water lamp, at the beginning, the key was not to produce it, but to open up sales. If it could not be sold, no matter how many glass water lamps were produced, it would be in vain.
As long as the goods are easy to sell, even if there is no factory, the current appearance of Nimir Village can still be mass-produced. All you need to do is order suitable glass containers and bottle the water in the luminous aqueduct.
