The middle-aged attendant's two calls to remind him of his presence finally succeeded in making Gu Hanhan notice him.
This is so unusual!
Because Acropolis is a strict hierarchical world, especially for superpower families. The relationship between masters and servants, and between servants and servants, is full of various codes and unspoken rules and norms that have become common practice outside of the codes. They are regarded as golden rules and will not be violated easily. And if it is violated, it will definitely not be due to omission or carelessness, but there must be something fishy. The so-called abnormality means that it is a monster.
For example, now, as long as Gu Hanhan's question is not so special that it requires a professional to explain it clearly, or it is something that Gale is not clear about, when Gale, the chief attendant, is still present, he is usually the only one who can answer the question. Only in this way can he come forward to answer, and there is absolutely no room for other inferior attendants to intervene casually. Now, this attendant who was following Garr was completely unnecessary, bypassing the chief attendant and directly answering Gu Hanhan, and he did so twice, which was obviously unusual and profound. Gu Hanhan guessed that Gal wanted to introduce this person to him and wanted to take a look at him.
The good master of the universe, Gu Hanhan, was obedient and understood the thoughts of the chief attendant, so he raised his eyes and found that he was indeed a very unfamiliar attendant, probably one he had never seen before.
The attendant was extremely humble, and his whole body was tensed with fear. He hunched his shoulders and bowed his back in fear of not being respectful enough in his seat. After Gu Hanhan saw his face, he quickly lowered his head, showing absolute docility and humility. , if it weren't for the wrong occasion, Gu Hanhan had no doubt that he would have already bowed to the ground and saluted himself. It is indeed unnecessary to serve as Gu Hanhan's personal attendant.
Attendant Garr said from the side: "He is the head of education of the Family Affairs Bureau. This position is usually responsible for managing the education, selection and external cleanup of ordinary slaves in the family, so he has never worked for the lady before. Because the lady is here for the auction today. Meeting, he was specially ordered to serve as his attendant. The position of the affairs director in the family has been pending for a long time, and we are considering letting him take over in the future."
Gu Hanhan didn't pay much attention. He said "Oh" and said nothing more.
Gal knew too well that Gu Hanhan was free and undisciplined, so he couldn't expect too much from her, let alone be able to behave like a qualified master. After waiting for a moment and not being able to wait for her to follow, he took the initiative to add: "His name is It’s called Bai Ye, miss, would you like to change it?”
After Gal's addition, Gu Tuniu, who had a slightly longer reflex arc, suddenly realized, wasn't it? Wasn't the former chief of affairs Mr. Lando? He seemed to have disappeared after the accident outside Kinmen Star. He must have died after being hit by Chi Yu on foot. After his death, the position of family chief has been vacant for almost half a year now. We need to quickly find someone to replace him. The purser is in charge of money and property. How important it is!
Recalling the accident, Gu Hanhan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He quickly suppressed the sadness, not daring to think about it, let alone the person who had died in the accident, or even David Duran. It hurts my heart not to think about the name even once. As for the little person like Chief Lando who was involved in the accident, I feel a little sad and regretful when I think about it now - he is also a pretty good person, and he has always taken good care of her. Trick, after all, he was acting under orders in the first place, so he can't be completely blamed. However, it was unfortunate that he was involved in the accident and died violently. All in all, it was all her fault, Gu Hanhan's fault!
Because of this reason, Gu Hanhan was ashamed of his family and became a little more enthusiastic and sincere towards Lando's successor.
"There is no need to change the name, there is no need to change the name," she said repeatedly, "A good name has been used for decades, why should I change it? Isn't that nonsense?"
She took another look at his appearance, nodded and said: "Baye, right? I remember, come here often when you have nothing to do, if you have something - oh, if you have something, just go see Mr. Gal."
Then she asked: "You just said that Taikoo College is a slave university. Many superpower families, including our Dulan family, will send their slaves to this auction house for auction. So in other words, all the auction items here today are actually Are you from a family with super powers?"
"Acropolis nobles really sell slaves. I really didn't know this before." She said, "Is this also allowed?"
Attendant Bai Ye suppressed the ecstasy in his heart that he was about to be promoted and make a fortune, and quickly said: "Yes, miss, the slaves who were eliminated from the family college before entering the mansion can be disposed of through the auction salon of the trading market."
After all, Bai Ye is the person who has climbed to the high position of taking over as the chief purser in a family with super powers. Not to mention his outstanding talents, his quiet Qi nourishing skills are also top-notch. The ecstasy in his heart swirls and disappears, and he is completely calm in just a moment. , the waves are calm. Although his attitude towards Gu Hanhan was even more condescending, in fact he was not nervous at all. Now when it came to the cultivation and elimination of slaves in the family, he was the one who was good at it, so he was even more comfortable and there was no need for preparation. He spoke eloquently, and only a few words aroused Gu Hanhan's interest.
According to Bai Ye, the number of slaves trained by the family slave college every year actually far exceeds the actual needs of the family. This is obvious. The small slaves continuously eliminated from the training camp provide the family college with a large base of trainees, and Before these talented slave students graduate and officially join the family, the elimination rate and death rate are actually very low. After all, the school is a comfortable place, learning is a simple matter, and there is not much pressure. Therefore, the family's newly born slaves will have more than 150% redundancy every year, and sometimes this redundancy is even as high as 200%. This redundancy accumulates in the Family Affairs Administration day after day and year after year, and it becomes a very troublesome personnel issue. After all, it cannot be burned like goods when the warehouse is exploded. It cost a lot of money to cultivate!
Of course, the superpower family has never cared about raising idle people, let alone money. But keeping it for nothing is obviously too inefficient and not in line with the long-term interests of the superpower family. Therefore, how to capture greater profits while destocking more efficiently has become something that family ministers of all generations are very concerned about and are good at. One of the common methods is to artificially increase the elimination rate of slave universities, and then put the eliminated slaves into the trading market for auction. On the one hand, it eliminates a large number of troublesome redundancies. On the other hand, these slaves are high-end goods and have always been in supply. Kings, nobles, wealthy businessmen and celebrities flock to seek money, and their value in the market is very high, and they can usually be auctioned at very good prices - and although money is of little use, for those who are often very poor, they may not be able to make ends meet at any time. For families with abilities, the more the better.
"This is also the mercy of the masters, which benefits the world," Bai Ye said in a strange tone that saved all sentient beings: "Let better people enter the secular world in this way, which can bring more prosperity to the universe and the world of secular people. and opulence.”
Isn’t that right? Pigs can only be killed after they have been fattened!
Gu Hanhan couldn't even laugh or cry, how could he be so plausible as a slave trader!
Strange people say that Acropolis is the biggest slave trader. If you are not a slave trader, who is a slave trader? !
"Don't you have to worry about family secrets being leaked? Sell the slaves trained in the family university to the public trading market? How do you do it? Hypnosis?" Gu Hanhan was very curious. At least she had never heard of such and such slaves. Which superpower family produced this kind of thing, it can be seen that the confidentiality work is quite good.
"No, miss, hypnosis has a long-term and difficult-to-eliminate impact on the brains and spirits of ordinary people. Then destroy their heads, which are humble but are already the most valuable in comparison." Bai Ye replied respectfully, " Therefore, slaves will not be exposed to any family secrets before officially graduating from the academy. They are not even qualified to hear the name of the family. They only know that they received elite education in that school and learned to be an excellent slave. And work towards becoming a high-class slave.”
He said: "After the slaves graduate, there is a period of internship training before they officially enter the service of the family. During this period, they will know the name of the family and gradually understand the real situation of the family. Of course, those who have been trained during this period Slaves can no longer be put into the trading market and will have to stay in the Acropolis forever."
Gu Hanhan nodded and said sincerely: "It's not easy for you..."
"Then what is the approximate elimination rate?" Gu Hanhan continued to ask.
"The total elimination rate of the Dulan family school is set at 8%. Excluding the normal loss of 1%-2%, the number that enters the auction market is generally about 5%. Based on the current number of slaves in the Secretariat and the Depending on the family's financial situation, this ratio will fluctuate somewhat, but not much. Although we cannot know the exact figures for other families in Acropolis, the ratio should be roughly the same, and it is estimated that it will not exceed 10% at most."
Gu Hanhan was shocked: "Only 5%? When the number of redundant people is at least 150%, you only sold 5%?!"
"Yes, Miss, 5% is the most reasonable number in the estimate. Any more than this may have a negative impact on the family..." Bai Ye replied with some trepidation. Although he had heard about it before, he was not particularly used to Gu Hanhan, a master who was obsessed with money and who cared more about money than his mistress - of course, of course, she was a mistress to begin with...
Gu Hanhan felt chilly. The redundancy was 150%, and 5% was sold. So what about the remaining 45%? She knows very well what kind of place a superpower family is, where fate is at stake, and the dead are never criticized. However, once faced with the possible numbers, I still feel scared, find it difficult to face it directly, and want to simply run away.
She almost didn't dare to ask, but finally summoned up the courage to ask: "How did the rest of the people deal with it?"
