Chapter 623 A Small Transaction
Even if everything goes well, there will only be about fifty gold coins left. Among these fifty gold coins, we have to exclude labor costs, time costs and marketing activities with those magic crystal sellers. Really
There may not be much left.
So from the bottom of my heart, Airl really doesn't want to take on this mission.
But seeing the expectant expression of Round Cheese in front of him, he thought for a while, then showed a slightly embarrassed expression on his face and said: "Boss, well... I'm not saying that our guild doesn't want to take it, but you also know
, our guild also has to prepare for the guild championship match at the end of this year, so we may not have enough time... It is impossible for those salesmen to carry such a large piece of magic crystal with them to a small town like ours.
So if I want to buy it, I may need to send someone to a large magic item trading market in a big city to purchase it. This requires a lot of time and energy, so look at the price..."
When talking about relationships, Mayor Round Cheese can be full of emotions.
But when it came to money, the mayor's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment.
Of course, after two years, Ai Luo also clearly understands what kind of person he is.
"President Arrow, look, our town has been developing recently, but the speed of development really has a bottleneck. It's impossible to spend more money all at once. You know this, right?"
Ai Luo also frowned slightly, showing a very embarrassed expression, and said slowly: "But... the labor required here is indeed somewhat beyond our means. Our guild is in urgent need of making money now, and this kind of thing
if……"
Having said this, the mayor's brows began to tangle, showing a very embarrassed expression. At that moment, Ai Luo sighed again and said slowly: "How about... let's do this. Boss, between us
How about a deal?”
"trade?"
As soon as he heard about the deal, the mayor's brows immediately widened. After all, from the past until now, the deal with Mermaid Song is generally quite cost-effective——
"Okay, okay! What kind of deal? Tell me about it?"
Ai Luo smiled and continued: "The biggest banker in our Pelican Town is the old sugar-coated wine man, right? After all, he took out 5,000 gold coins directly as the start-up capital of our town."
Round Cheese thought for a while and nodded vigorously.
"On the other hand, the purchase of elemental machines was also carried out with this start-up capital. But... I have such an idea."
After a brief pause, Ai Luo observed the mayor's face and made sure he didn't have any weird expression before continuing -
"I wonder if you can issue a transfer entrustment of usage rights and exclusive rights in the name of Pelican Town? The specific content...it's not a big deal. It means all matters related to the element machines in Pelican Town.
Let us, Mermaid Song, handle everything. Including maintenance, repairs, purchasing magic crystals, loading, etc."
"Of course! I don't mean to embezzle the assets of Pelican Town. After all, the element machine is also an asset of Pelican Town. Therefore, the ownership of the items related to the element machine does not need to be given to me. We at Mermaid Song only need
It’s just a clause that allows us to operate the element machine exclusively in Pelican Town, fill our town with light, and prevent others from interfering with the element machine.”
"What do you think... of a contract like this?"
Listening to Ai Luo talking so messily, Round Cheese seemed a little confused. He frowned, tilted his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head slightly and said: "This... seems a bit difficult to handle.
Right? All of them belong to your Mermaid Song? Then if something happens in the future, what will we do if your Mermaid Song doesn’t activate the element machine?"
Ai Luo smiled, showing a completely relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "This is simple, you can stipulate in the contract that our Mermaid Song cannot interfere with the normal use of the element machine in the town. In fact, I want such a contract
The contract is just to have a better bargaining method when purchasing magic crystals in the future."
Round Cheese: “How to Bargain?”
Ai Luo nodded and said with a smile: "With such a contract, I can prove to those magic merchants that our guild has the absolute right to decide on the elemental machine. It also proves that our guild has the right to decide what kind of magic crystals to buy.
Bargaining power and the power to make the final decision. In this way, it will be more convenient for us to bargain. So that when we talk about it later, the other party will directly say, 'I can't tell you clearly, let your mayor come and talk to me!'
It’s an excuse.”
The mayor of Pelican Town may not be very smart, but he's not stupid.
After all, I have been with Ai Luo for two years. During these two years, no matter how stupid I am, I should be able to clearly understand what kind of person this president is.
Signing a contract that only contains responsibilities? What would Mermaid Song do?
But on the other hand, all the aborigines, including Round Cheese, do not know much about magic. If they really want to buy magic crystals on their own, the possibility of being tricked is still very high.
In addition, after getting along for such a long time, although Mermaid Song loves money, overall it is still a guild that works peacefully in Pelican Town and has a very harmonious relationship with the neighborhood leaders.
Based on this, Mayor Round Cheese nodded slightly and said: "This matter is somewhat important. I think it needs to be brought up at the next regular meeting of the town for everyone to discuss. If there are no questions, I will give it to you.
There’s no problem.”
Hearing this, the smile on Ai Luo's face became even brighter. He nodded repeatedly and fully agreed with the proposal: "Of course, after all, the elemental machine is the asset of our entire town. We should hold a meeting to discuss it. It should, it should be
Yes! So this matter is settled like this?"
Round Cheese: "Okay! It's settled!"
At this point, Ai Luo couldn't help but show a sad smile, shook his head, sighed and said: "Alas... Now our guild's work will increase again... Alas..."
Goal achieved!
Now that things have developed to this point, Ai Luo feels that his request should be no different than being fulfilled.
The town's regular meetings are basically some respected old men gathering together for a meeting. Can those townspeople understand the rules and regulations? At that time, they only need to draw up a contract that roughly seems to have no impact on Pelican Town.
, read it aloud in public, and explain it a little bit, I believe that passing is definitely a high probability event!
As for getting the exclusive right to use the element machine in Pelican Town, then there will be more options for making money. And the money may simply go into your own pocket, and you only need to use a little fur to make money.
As long as the mayor and others are satisfied.
But there is another premise here, that is, the element machine cannot just be satisfied with a single function such as lighting.
Of course, there were so many twists and turns in Arrow's belly that it was impossible for the round cheese mayor in front of him to notice.
After saying the first thing, the mayor moved his fat butt slightly on the high chair again, picked up the tea with a smile, and took a sip.
“Oops~~~It’s really rare to take some time off~~~ Well, when I think about the fact that there may be a lot of work waiting for me after I go back, and I don’t even have time to open the pie shop inherited from our family, I think
Please spend more time with President Arrow."
Ai Luo couldn't help but smile, turned the pen in his hand, and said: "Mr. Mayor, don't always be lazy here. What's wrong? Are you working so much lately?"
Round Cheese's face showed a smile that was both happy and slightly tired. He nodded slowly and said, "Oh my, it's work! There's always more and more! President Arrow, now I'm starting to feel a little tired.
I regret the business I did with you."
Ai Luo curled up his lips and said with a smile: "Which one?"
The chubby mayor immediately leaned back, opened his arms, and made a gesture of embracing the air, and said: "That's the business you made when you first came to our town! It's just fifteen gold coins, fifteen gold coins
Ah! I will sell you the largest and most magnificent house in our town! Not only is it a two-story duplex, it even has a basement and a warehouse behind it! Do you know that now in our town?
What price has the property been sold for? Tsk tsk tsk, just an ordinary one-bedroom, one-room building would cost ten gold coins!"
Ai Luo laughed and didn't care much about it. He said with a smile: "It seems that the recent economic situation of our Pelican Town is really good? Are there so many people coming to settle in our town?"
Round Cheese clasped his hands on his chest, looking very happy: "That's right! Remember when you first came here, the total population of our town was only a little over 500. But last week, our town
The population has exceeded 1,000 and is heading towards 1,500! So many people are buying houses in our town and want to settle down. Oops, these days just the signature letters of residents moving in are piled up in my office.
There was a big stack, but I haven’t had time to sign it yet. What do you think! If this continues, will our town soon return to its former lively scene? I believe that by the end of this year, our town may be able to leave.
The town has evolved into a city!"
Chapter completed!
