With the feeling of not seeing the coffin and not crying, Yarman took the shuttle bus from Settlement No. 1 to the ruins of Haibei City and walked the last 100 kilometers of the journey.
Without any surprises, the centurion rolled his eyes when he saw the piece of paper in his hand.
Whoever writes this paper for you, or you ask General Lium to ask for it.
Ten thousand dinars just want to buy a ton of arms. According to this algorithm, a tank is only more than 500,000!
The price given by the alliance is more than three times that of this number!
This guy wanted to use a piece of paper and get a broken bone at the price. He was thinking about nothing!
Yarman asked unwillingly.
Then...where is he?
Anthony said impatiently.
If you are not on Shifeng Mountain on the airship of Zhongsheng, you will be back to the west for the New Year.
In fact, this question is purely redundant. How could a general who won a battle not come back to Triumph City to show off?
The Legion also gained a lot in this battle.
Although they were unable to get the information about the technology related to the clavicle-like life form that they were most concerned about in the torch bear, the gene samples collected alone were enough for the technical officials of various research institutes to work hard for a while.
As expected, General Lium could be promoted to three-star ten thousand men this time.
The last hope was shattered.
Yarman twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally put away the stack of waste paper in his hand.
He swears.
He wanted to set this thing in the photo frame, hang it in the most conspicuous position in the study, and hand it down from generation to generation with the training he wrote himself
Only pigs believe in the promises of the Willant people!
If he did not listen to Governor Huye's call, but instead operated in the reverse direction, he would let the fleet run according to the original route and send the tea and sugar to Triumph City. Maybe he could still make a premium while a large number of goods from the Bharat Province were delayed delivery!
And because it is a familiar route, he doesn't need to go out to sea with the ship himself.
In this way, he can stay by his family and spend the most important festival of the year safely, instead of looking at the faces of these big-headed soldiers when the balls between a group of big men are kicked around.
He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed that there were also exoskeletons he had seen at the dock before.
More than that
It seemed that the exoskeletons were not the Willant soldiers, but their captive slaves.
Yarman stopped and asked curiously.
...It's so strange. Are there too many exoskeletons here for slaves?
It's better to sell it to him if you're so redundant.
Anthony's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed and he coughed.
...That's not considered a slave, it's hired.
Hired?
Yarman was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously.
……How much?
Anthony explained.
Not expensive, 8 silver coins per hour.
The moment he heard this number, Yarman's eyes were almost protruding.
What?!You actually paid him 8 silver coins in 1 hour!Are you crazy?!
Even if three dinars are exchanged for one silver coin according to the maximum exchange ratio of dinars and silver coins, it will be 24 dinars!
According to this conversion method, wouldn’t the income of people here earning a higher one-month worker than the workers in Xifan Port?!
Are you short of people here?Yarman's eyes shone brightly and he continued to ask non-stop.
Looking at this guy with a hot look, Anthony only felt his anus tightening.
Not available, that's too missing...Well, calm down first, I know what you are thinking, but according to the agreement of the Mustard Community, we cannot use the alliance's transportation system to transport slaves here, so there is nothing we can do if we lack it
We have a boat!Yarman's whole body was trembling excitedly. How much do you want?I'll pull you over!
Anthony rolled his eyes.
Do you think I can’t think of shipping on the sea?It’s useless. This large area northward is considered our ‘enclave’.Unless you transport the slaves over with a plane, you can detain them by passing through the alliance.And the trouble is not just that. They do not recognize the legality of personal free trading contracts. Once slaves escape to their territory, they become wastelanders. Do you understand what I mean?
Yarman was stunned for a long time, and then said with a wry smile after a moment.
You... just listen to them like this?
What does it mean to listen to them?
Very dissatisfied with this guy's statement, Anthony glanced at him.
This is called a game. Both sides take a step back on terms that are acceptable to each other and resolve conflicts through dialogue. After all, it will not be beneficial to anyone if they really fight.But if you think we are afraid of them, you're really overthinking... OK, if there's nothing else, you can get out.
Yarman: …
……
The Willant people are still relatively polite to their own people, at least they don’t just go to the butt for a few words or two.
However, it is also true that the businessman’s status is not high.
The civil servant group itself is not very popular, let alone the businessmen supported by civil servants.
Although Yarman still wanted to try to fight for it, the centurion in charge of that area did not intend to waste time with him and directly bombarded him away.
Yarman had no choice but to get on the car back to the coast of Death.
The setting sun sets in the west, bringing the shadow of the gate of the settlement.
The originally empty pier was full of boats, and looking around, the sky was busy.
But looking at the empty deck, you will know that most people who arrived on the shore today were in vain.
Dragging his tired body back to the port, Yarman happened to see his crew having fun at the door of the bar next to the port, one and two people drinking in broad daylight and holding the wall.
Although most of the houses here are containers, many wasteland customers like to do small business, such as selling cocktails they blended or rolled cigarette strips. As long as they are not prohibited, the guards of the commodity alliance will not be too careful.
Yarman suddenly envied these drunk guys.
In the past, he felt that these bad people had no future, and they would spend their wages in their pockets on alcohol or women for a few days. They would never want to marry a wife in their entire lives, let alone financial freedom... But now thinking about it, at least they don’t have to worry about whether they may lose all their money in the next transaction.
Unlike themselves, they have money to get as long as they go to sea, and they can take money to have fun everywhere when they are on the shore.
It’s not like I was frowning all day long, but I was taken out in my pocket in the end. What’s the difference between it and now they are now?
Thinking of the bills he would face after he went back, Yarman felt his scalp numb and he didn't dare to think about it at all. He could only mutter to the followers and bodyguards beside him.
Damn it... go have a couple of drinks!
The few people looked at each other, knowing that the boss was in a bad mood, but they didn't know how to comfort him, so they could only follow him and go to the busiest bar nearby.
Unlike other wasteland-style small bars, this is a few houses built with bricks and cement. Standing in front of the bar is a one-eyed robot. The clock above the bar is actually an image of a holographic projector. It can be seen that the owner of this store is a tasteful guy.
In addition to the workers working in the port, there are also some guys who have just gotten off the boat.
Seeing these guys' depressed faces, Yarman felt a little comforted, at least he was not the only kind of wronged person.
The entire port was filled with Willant people who had lost money, sitting in front of the table and pouring beer into their stomachs.
Oh shit!
This dog is called Huye!And that Bennott, none of these civil servants are reliable!
Not loyal at all!
Hope the mutants greet his whole family!
The stinginess they praised when they went out to sea before, and now the swearing is how vicious they curse.
There are a few businessmen like Yarman who have their own team, and most of them rent their boats.
In particular, many people were counting on this transaction to make a comeback, so they mortgaged everything they could be mortgaged, borrowed a large amount of money from the bank of Xifan Port, and rented all the boats they could be rented at the port.
However, they were now empty, and all the unused equipment on the entire front line was monopolized by the thing called Goblin Technology.
For these people, that's really a life-threatening one's life.
Yarman, who was sitting in front of the bar, ordered a glass of beer, and thought the bodyguards and followers were obsessed with him, so he sent them aside.
Looking at the large wine glass with a capacity of one liter on the table, he was about to raise his head and feel stuffy when the sound of talking to him suddenly came from the side.
Hey.
Yarman glanced at the side and saw that it was a strange face, so he frowned and asked.
Who are you?
It was a young man who looked young, wearing a gray jacket in rhinoceros leather.
He smiled toothfully, sat down on the stool next door, and spoke in a talkative manner.
Zhang Ze, come here a little earlier than you and do something at the port.
Without waiting for this guy to ask him what he did, Zhang Zema continued without stopping.
Wirant people are rare here, and most of your compatriots are in Haibei City. Are you here to pick them up?
Yarman said impatiently.
Does it have anything to do with you?
Zhang Ze said with a chuckling.
It doesn't matter, I'm just curious. After all, boats coming here empty are indeed rare. This port is like a hungry dead claw, and even containers can be digested... Is there any treasure?
Hearing this sentence, Yarman's brow twitched violently, and he slapped his right hand and stood up.
Are you here to find fault?
Just as he slapped his hand on the bar, the followers and bodyguards at the next table also stood up.
Seeing this guy getting angry, Zhang Ze quickly got up and raised his hands, indicating that the other party had no malice.
Brother Calm Brother... I know you may have lost a lot, but you have lost a lot anyway, so why don’t you listen to me and finish it?
Although he was very angry, when he saw that everyone in the bar was looking at him, Yarman suppressed his anger, winked at his bodyguards, then calmed down his chest and sat back on the stool.
Then let me see what ivory can you spit out from your mouth.
Zhang Ze smiled, sat back next to him with a thick face, and continued in a low voice.
...I can't spit out the ivory, but I have a way to make you make back the money you lost.
oh?Yarman curled his lips and laughed at him, "Are you trying to tell me that you can make a profit by dragging those broken containers to Xifan Port?"
He didn't care about the distrustful look, Zhang Ze shook his head and said in a relaxed tone.
Of course not... that would make a lot of money.
Yarman sneered again, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
I don't think there are more profitable specialties here.
Zhang Ze said patiently.
It is indeed not. It is still in the stage of land reclamation, but for this reason, there is a considerable demand for certain things here, such as...the population.
Yarman's brow frowned slightly.
population?But I heard that the alliance prohibits slave trading.
You are right, but it is not accurate. Zhang Ze nodded and continued with a smile. What the alliance does not recognize is just a slave contract, but does not forbid another more tactful way to restrain personal freedom.
Yarman hummed without comment.
for example?
For example, debt, especially debt relations within a reasonable range, are recognized by the alliance.
Hearing this unexpected answer, Yarman was stunned.
……What's the meaning?
Zhang Ze continued with a smile.
What it means is that if you take out a IOU and say that a person owes you money that you will never pay in your lifetime, then the relevant departments of the alliance will not admit it, and they will probably investigate whether you have any problems... What kind of mental illness is that you will lend the money to him even though you know that the other party will never be able to pay it back in your lifetime.
But in another case, if you take out a IOU and also issue a reasonable reason to explain how the debt was generated, and make sure that the loan can pay off the debt within 20 or 10 years without affecting your life... then the alliance recognizes the debt.
I don't understand what you are saying.Yarman frowned, are you in the lending business?I don't need a loan now, nor do I have any extra money to do this business.
No, no, I am not in the lending business, but... I am very interested in another business.Zhang Ze put his hand on his shoulder and said in a tempting manner, "Look, there are people here, and it's very, very short. We need to build ports and railways, our cities and streets, and there are places where people are used everywhere... And there is a place just a few thousand kilometers away, and the one that is most lacking is people. If we buy them,
Yarman said mockingly.
I can’t do slave trading here. Can I buy people and release them after I buy them?
So you need to change your mindset. Isn’t it enough to just think of a way to turn their slave contract into a debt contract?Do you want them to call you master?
Looking at the stunned Yarman, Zhang Ze continued to explain patiently.
The specific operation is also very simple. We can register a labor agency and a loan company in the alliance, and then register a labor dispatch company in Xifan Port to buy healthy slaves from the nobles, or help those free people who have already redeemed themselves.
Of course this is not free, we just give them the second possibility in life, and they need to pay the money themselves.
The redemption fee of 1,000 dinar, the settlement fee of 3,000 dinar, the boat ticket of 10,000 silver coins, and travel expenses plus 3% interest, will be repaid in total in 20 years.It sounds scary, doesn't it?But evenly enough, only 125 silver coins per month!
I think this profit is enough, and we can even waive their labor agency fees and financial service fees depending on the situation.
Of course, if they develop well in the future, they need to redeem their families, or send money back to support them, we can also provide them with similar services.
125 silver coins per month are scary enough... Yarman smacked his tongue, swallowed a sip of fragrant beer, and even became polite in his tone of speaking.
If 10,000 people come here, wouldn’t they be able to collect more than 1.2 million silver coins every month?!
And it can be collected for 20 years!
Although it can't keep up with the profits of arms, it's also quite scary.
Thinking that Yarman was worried that the workers could not afford the money, Zhang Ze smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
All the money from Xifan Port has been made away by you, so of course they can't pay out so much money.But this is the territory of our respected managers. Even if you have no hands and feet, you can lend money to install an arm for you.As long as you are willing to work, it is easy to earn more than 1,000 silver coins a month... How about it?Do it or not?
Already understood the deal in his heart, Yarman did not hesitate for a long time, and drank half a glass of beer in one sip, and the cup was heavily slapped on the table.
Those decadent eyes were like a second spring, re-imprinted with ambition.
Dry!Damn... I at least have to earn back the capital of this transaction.
If this deal can be successful, the banks of Xifan Port may be able to loosen the rope around their necks!
Oh shit!
When he makes money, he must pay off all the loans!
Looking at Yarman who was cheering up, Zhang Ze finally showed a happy smile on his face.
He has saved enough money to register a company in the past few days of work at the dock. If this matter can be accomplished, it will be just around the corner for him to reach the peak of his life!
Wait for a moment, my partner will arrive soon...
Partner?Do you have other partners?Yarman's eyebrows raised slightly, showing an expression of interest.
Zhang Ze glanced at the time of the holographic wall clock, then looked in the direction of the door, and said with a smile.
Of course, I can't do such a big deal alone, and the idea of exporting this labor service was actually brought by my partner from the next door to Beidao... The person has arrived, right there.
Yarman looked along his sight and saw four guys in blue jackets standing at the door.
Seeing this, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.
It's actually a blue gopher?!
Good guy!
This business is stable!
Although he doesn't like the league and has just been tricked by the league's goblin technology, if he is a teammate, it will be another situation.
No one will think that their allies are too reliable.
The four people looked around the bar and soon saw Zhang Ze waving to them, so they walked straight over.
Yarman immediately showed a graceful smile on his face, and he looked at the four friends who were walking towards him and stretched out his right hand.
I, Yarman, a businessman from Xifan Port, who are you?
The man walking in front also had a passionate expression and grabbed his right hand.
My name is Foresight Eagle, and the next person is a warlike wolf... We are all residents of Shelter No. 404, and the name is a bit strange, please don't care.
Hello.
The warlike wolf nodded, and his taciturn appearance made him look like a hidden master.
But in fact, the reason why he acted like this was just because he didn't learn a few words of the couplet.
The power system is just unhappy.
The intelligence attributes in the early stage are too low, there are only three points that can be pity, and it looks like a mentally retarded when playing.
What a strange name...
But it was not surprising that Yarman was thinking that the other party came out of the shelter.
Then...what are these two?
His eyes fell on the two friends behind Brother Eagle and Brother Wolf.
They seemed to be residents of the shelter, and out of courtesy he asked their names.
However, for some reason, the four people in front of them all showed subtle expressions on their faces.
The visionary eagle coughed dryly.
Don't ask these two... Just pretend they don't exist.
Damn it!What does not exist?The messy stick glared at him, then smiled and said with a smile, "I'm a stick, my brothers call me a stick brother, that guy is Guan, you can call him a brother Guan or a brother."
Catheter Dog: ???
Yarman's brow jumped involuntarily, always feeling that the guys in front of him were not reliable, but he decided to observe first and then draw a conclusion.
So he looked at Zhang Ze on the side and spoke.
When will we set out?
Zhang Ze glanced at Brother Eagle, then looked at Yarman, and said with a smile.
I can do it, anyway, I'm here at the port, so you can discuss the departure time.
Yarman looked at the four refuge residents, and the visionary eagle leading the lead immediately said.
The faster the better, I don’t want to stay here for a moment… I might be able to catch up with the next month’s birthday now.
Yarman suddenly remembered something.
By the way, I have to buy a souvenir for my daughter... Are there any shops nearby?
The four players were stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.
The souvenir is OK... What kind of souvenir is there?
How about buying a rag doll?Brother Dog suggested.
That was too unremarkable. Brother Stick shook his head. It would be better to put a bottle of sand back.
The warlike wolf clicked on the vm, and after checking the translation, he suddenly stammered.
How about mutant specimens?The mutants here are quite special, with the ones with fish fins.
The other three were shocked when they heard this.
Good guy.
Damn it.
You're so curious!
That doesn't work... After barely understanding their communication, Yarman said with an embarrassment. I've given a specimen made of mutants' heads before, but my little Ruby doesn't like it... so is my wife, saying that it's scary when she saw it at night.
Visionary Eagle: …?
Catheter dog: …
Stir-up stick: awesome...
Listening to what these people said, Zhang Ze couldn't help but cover his forehead and patted it, and suddenly he had an idea.
How many photos are taken?Your child must have never been to the wasteland, the scenery here should be quite special.
Yarman's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his hands excitedly hugged his shoulders.
My friend, you are so smart!Why didn't I expect it!
The visionary eagle patted him on the shoulder.
Then hurry up and take a photo. The sun is about to set. There are not as many street lights as Beidao and French Fries Port here, and you can't see anything when it gets dark.
The group left the bar noisily and took a lot of photos before the sun set, recording the scene at dusk at settlement No. 1.
Standing on the deck of the cargo ship that was about to set sail, Yarman fiddled with the Polaroid camera he bought from the port grocery store, and suddenly smiled and touched the back of his head.
Why didn't I think of this idea before... Taking a photo is such a good idea.
Camera is not a rare thing, and he has been to more than this interesting settlement.
If all of them were taken, those photos should have been covered with a whole wall.
What a pity!
While talking, he took another photo of the sunset that was sinking into the sea.
It's okay, it's not too late to record from now on, and the road of life is still long... The visionary eagle patted his shoulder with anger, pretending to be serious and practicing his unskilled couplet.
That's what I said...
Yarman grinned and put away the camera.
He suddenly felt that these refuge residents were not that annoying. If he put aside his position, it was actually quite interesting to be friends with them.
These people's minds are fast, and they can always come up with some whimsical ideas... including the legendary space elevator under construction.
He couldn't imagine how these people called him master, and it would seem quite disappointing if they were like that.
Before they had enough fun, the crew members went up to the deck through the gangway in turn. After the captain counted the number, they walked to Yarman.
We are ready, we can set off at any time... Speaking of which, is it okay to go back with an empty boat?We had two trips in vain.
Yarman said with great enthusiasm.
No problem, and this trip is not a waste of time.After we get back this trip, we can soon start a new and more profitable deal...Ah, sorry, the dividends of this deal may be
Looking at the boss who was in high spirits the previous second and stuttered the next second, the captain made an indifferent expression and shrugged his shoulders.
It doesn’t matter. In fact, I heard you say that there is such a high profit, and I know that there is no good thing... If there is no, there is no. I just hope that I won’t miss my birthday now, and my family is still waiting for me to go back.
The visionary eagle asked curiously.
What is the birthday day?
It was the day when the Willant people were born and the beginning of a great legend.
Yarman's mouth raised slightly, he looked at the sea in the distance, and shouted with a loud voice.
set sail!
The air whistle sounds.
When the empty cargo ships were still at the port and refused to leave, a group of eight cargo ships had already pursued the direction of the setting sun and embarked on a new journey.
The fiery red light shone in the direction they were moving forward, and the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire shimmering ocean.
That burning color.
Just like blood stained red.
Without any surprises, the centurion rolled his eyes when he saw the piece of paper in his hand.
Whoever writes this paper for you, or you ask General Lium to ask for it.
Ten thousand dinars just want to buy a ton of arms. According to this algorithm, a tank is only more than 500,000!
The price given by the alliance is more than three times that of this number!
This guy wanted to use a piece of paper and get a broken bone at the price. He was thinking about nothing!
Yarman asked unwillingly.
Then...where is he?
Anthony said impatiently.
If you are not on Shifeng Mountain on the airship of Zhongsheng, you will be back to the west for the New Year.
In fact, this question is purely redundant. How could a general who won a battle not come back to Triumph City to show off?
The Legion also gained a lot in this battle.
Although they were unable to get the information about the technology related to the clavicle-like life form that they were most concerned about in the torch bear, the gene samples collected alone were enough for the technical officials of various research institutes to work hard for a while.
As expected, General Lium could be promoted to three-star ten thousand men this time.
The last hope was shattered.
Yarman twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally put away the stack of waste paper in his hand.
He swears.
He wanted to set this thing in the photo frame, hang it in the most conspicuous position in the study, and hand it down from generation to generation with the training he wrote himself
Only pigs believe in the promises of the Willant people!
If he did not listen to Governor Huye's call, but instead operated in the reverse direction, he would let the fleet run according to the original route and send the tea and sugar to Triumph City. Maybe he could still make a premium while a large number of goods from the Bharat Province were delayed delivery!
And because it is a familiar route, he doesn't need to go out to sea with the ship himself.
In this way, he can stay by his family and spend the most important festival of the year safely, instead of looking at the faces of these big-headed soldiers when the balls between a group of big men are kicked around.
He was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly noticed that there were also exoskeletons he had seen at the dock before.

According to this conversion method, wouldn’t the income of people here earning a higher one-month worker than the workers in Xifan Port?!
Are you short of people here?Yarman's eyes shone brightly and he continued to ask non-stop.
Looking at this guy with a hot look, Anthony only felt his anus tightening.
Not available, that's too missing...Well, calm down first, I know what you are thinking, but according to the agreement of the Mustard Community, we cannot use the alliance's transportation system to transport slaves here, so there is nothing we can do if we lack it

Dragging his tired body back to the port, Yarman happened to see his crew having fun at the door of the bar next to the port, one and two people drinking in broad daylight and holding the wall.

It’s not like I was frowning all day long, but I was taken out in my pocket in the end. What’s the difference between it and now they are now?
Thinking of the bills he would face after he went back, Yarman felt his scalp numb and he didn't dare to think about it at all. He could only mutter to the followers and bodyguards beside him.
Damn it... go have a couple of drinks!
The few people looked at each other, knowing that the boss was in a bad mood, but they didn't know how to comfort him, so they could only follow him and go to the busiest bar nearby.
Unlike other wasteland-style small bars, this is a few houses built with bricks and cement. Standing in front of the bar is a one-eyed robot. The clock above the bar is actually an image of a holographic projector. It can be seen that the owner of this store is a tasteful guy.

Wirant people are rare here, and most of your compatriots are in Haibei City. Are you here to pick them up?
Yarman said impatiently.
Does it have anything to do with you?
Zhang Ze said with a chuckling.
It doesn't matter, I'm just curious. After all, boats coming here empty are indeed rare. This port is like a hungry dead claw, and even containers can be digested... Is there any treasure?
Hearing this sentence, Yarman's brow twitched violently, and he slapped his right hand and stood up.
Are you here to find fault?
Just as he slapped his hand on the bar, the followers and bodyguards at the next table also stood up.
Seeing this guy getting angry, Zhang Ze quickly got up and raised his hands, indicating that the other party had no malice.
Brother Calm Brother... I know you may have lost a lot, but you have lost a lot anyway, so why don’t you listen to me and finish it?
Although he was very angry, when he saw that everyone in the bar was looking at him, Yarman suppressed his anger, winked at his bodyguards, then calmed down his chest and sat back on the stool.
Then let me see what ivory can you spit out from your mouth.
Zhang Ze smiled, sat back next to him with a thick face, and continued in a low voice.
...I can't spit out the ivory, but I have a way to make you make back the money you lost.
oh?Yarman curled his lips and laughed at him, "Are you trying to tell me that you can make a profit by dragging those broken containers to Xifan Port?"
He didn't care about the distrustful look, Zhang Ze shook his head and said in a relaxed tone.
Of course not... that would make a lot of money.
Yarman sneered again, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
I don't think there are more profitable specialties here.
Zhang Ze said patiently.
It is indeed not. It is still in the stage of land reclamation, but for this reason, there is a considerable demand for certain things here, such as...the population.
Yarman's brow frowned slightly.
population?But I heard that the alliance prohibits slave trading.
You are right, but it is not accurate. Zhang Ze nodded and continued with a smile. What the alliance does not recognize is just a slave contract, but does not forbid another more tactful way to restrain personal freedom.
Yarman hummed without comment.
for example?
For example, debt, especially debt relations within a reasonable range, are recognized by the alliance.
Hearing this unexpected answer, Yarman was stunned.
……What's the meaning?
Zhang Ze continued with a smile.
What it means is that if you take out a IOU and say that a person owes you money that you will never pay in your lifetime, then the relevant departments of the alliance will not admit it, and they will probably investigate whether you have any problems... What kind of mental illness is that you will lend the money to him even though you know that the other party will never be able to pay it back in your lifetime.
But in another case, if you take out a IOU and also issue a reasonable reason to explain how the debt was generated, and make sure that the loan can pay off the debt within 20 or 10 years without affecting your life... then the alliance recognizes the debt.
I don't understand what you are saying.Yarman frowned, are you in the lending business?I don't need a loan now, nor do I have any extra money to do this business.
No, no, I am not in the lending business, but... I am very interested in another business.Zhang Ze put his hand on his shoulder and said in a tempting manner, "Look, there are people here, and it's very, very short. We need to build ports and railways, our cities and streets, and there are places where people are used everywhere... And there is a place just a few thousand kilometers away, and the one that is most lacking is people. If we buy them,
Yarman said mockingly.
I can’t do slave trading here. Can I buy people and release them after I buy them?
So you need to change your mindset. Isn’t it enough to just think of a way to turn their slave contract into a debt contract?Do you want them to call you master?
Looking at the stunned Yarman, Zhang Ze continued to explain patiently.
The specific operation is also very simple. We can register a labor agency and a loan company in the alliance, and then register a labor dispatch company in Xifan Port to buy healthy slaves from the nobles, or help those free people who have already redeemed themselves.
Of course this is not free, we just give them the second possibility in life, and they need to pay the money themselves.
The redemption fee of 1,000 dinar, the settlement fee of 3,000 dinar, the boat ticket of 10,000 silver coins, and travel expenses plus 3% interest, will be repaid in total in 20 years.It sounds scary, doesn't it?But evenly enough, only 125 silver coins per month!
I think this profit is enough, and we can even waive their labor agency fees and financial service fees depending on the situation.
Of course, if they develop well in the future, they need to redeem their families, or send money back to support them, we can also provide them with similar services.
125 silver coins per month are scary enough... Yarman smacked his tongue, swallowed a sip of fragrant beer, and even became polite in his tone of speaking.
If 10,000 people come here, wouldn’t they be able to collect more than 1.2 million silver coins every month?!
And it can be collected for 20 years!
Although it can't keep up with the profits of arms, it's also quite scary.
Thinking that Yarman was worried that the workers could not afford the money, Zhang Ze smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
All the money from Xifan Port has been made away by you, so of course they can't pay out so much money.But this is the territory of our respected managers. Even if you have no hands and feet, you can lend money to install an arm for you.As long as you are willing to work, it is easy to earn more than 1,000 silver coins a month... How about it?Do it or not?
Already understood the deal in his heart, Yarman did not hesitate for a long time, and drank half a glass of beer in one sip, and the cup was heavily slapped on the table.
Those decadent eyes were like a second spring, re-imprinted with ambition.
Dry!Damn... I at least have to earn back the capital of this transaction.
If this deal can be successful, the banks of Xifan Port may be able to loosen the rope around their necks!
Oh shit!
When he makes money, he must pay off all the loans!
Looking at Yarman who was cheering up, Zhang Ze finally showed a happy smile on his face.
He has saved enough money to register a company in the past few days of work at the dock. If this matter can be accomplished, it will be just around the corner for him to reach the peak of his life!
Wait for a moment, my partner will arrive soon...
Partner?Do you have other partners?Yarman's eyebrows raised slightly, showing an expression of interest.
Zhang Ze glanced at the time of the holographic wall clock, then looked in the direction of the door, and said with a smile.
Of course, I can't do such a big deal alone, and the idea of exporting this labor service was actually brought by my partner from the next door to Beidao... The person has arrived, right there.
Yarman looked along his sight and saw four guys in blue jackets standing at the door.
Seeing this, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.
It's actually a blue gopher?!
Good guy!
This business is stable!
Although he doesn't like the league and has just been tricked by the league's goblin technology, if he is a teammate, it will be another situation.
No one will think that their allies are too reliable.
The four people looked around the bar and soon saw Zhang Ze waving to them, so they walked straight over.
Yarman immediately showed a graceful smile on his face, and he looked at the four friends who were walking towards him and stretched out his right hand.
I, Yarman, a businessman from Xifan Port, who are you?
The man walking in front also had a passionate expression and grabbed his right hand.
My name is Foresight Eagle, and the next person is a warlike wolf... We are all residents of Shelter No. 404, and the name is a bit strange, please don't care.
Hello.
The warlike wolf nodded, and his taciturn appearance made him look like a hidden master.
But in fact, the reason why he acted like this was just because he didn't learn a few words of the couplet.
The power system is just unhappy.
The intelligence attributes in the early stage are too low, there are only three points that can be pity, and it looks like a mentally retarded when playing.
What a strange name...
But it was not surprising that Yarman was thinking that the other party came out of the shelter.
Then...what are these two?
His eyes fell on the two friends behind Brother Eagle and Brother Wolf.
They seemed to be residents of the shelter, and out of courtesy he asked their names.
However, for some reason, the four people in front of them all showed subtle expressions on their faces.
The visionary eagle coughed dryly.
Don't ask these two... Just pretend they don't exist.
Damn it!What does not exist?The messy stick glared at him, then smiled and said with a smile, "I'm a stick, my brothers call me a stick brother, that guy is Guan, you can call him a brother Guan or a brother."
Catheter Dog: ???
Yarman's brow jumped involuntarily, always feeling that the guys in front of him were not reliable, but he decided to observe first and then draw a conclusion.
So he looked at Zhang Ze on the side and spoke.
When will we set out?
Zhang Ze glanced at Brother Eagle, then looked at Yarman, and said with a smile.
I can do it, anyway, I'm here at the port, so you can discuss the departure time.
Yarman looked at the four refuge residents, and the visionary eagle leading the lead immediately said.
The faster the better, I don’t want to stay here for a moment… I might be able to catch up with the next month’s birthday now.
Yarman suddenly remembered something.
By the way, I have to buy a souvenir for my daughter... Are there any shops nearby?
The four players were stunned when they heard this and looked at each other.
The souvenir is OK... What kind of souvenir is there?
How about buying a rag doll?Brother Dog suggested.
That was too unremarkable. Brother Stick shook his head. It would be better to put a bottle of sand back.
The warlike wolf clicked on the vm, and after checking the translation, he suddenly stammered.
How about mutant specimens?The mutants here are quite special, with the ones with fish fins.
The other three were shocked when they heard this.
Good guy.
Damn it.
You're so curious!
That doesn't work... After barely understanding their communication, Yarman said with an embarrassment. I've given a specimen made of mutants' heads before, but my little Ruby doesn't like it... so is my wife, saying that it's scary when she saw it at night.
Visionary Eagle: …?
Catheter dog: …
Stir-up stick: awesome...
Listening to what these people said, Zhang Ze couldn't help but cover his forehead and patted it, and suddenly he had an idea.
How many photos are taken?Your child must have never been to the wasteland, the scenery here should be quite special.
Yarman's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his hands excitedly hugged his shoulders.
My friend, you are so smart!Why didn't I expect it!
The visionary eagle patted him on the shoulder.
Then hurry up and take a photo. The sun is about to set. There are not as many street lights as Beidao and French Fries Port here, and you can't see anything when it gets dark.
The group left the bar noisily and took a lot of photos before the sun set, recording the scene at dusk at settlement No. 1.
Standing on the deck of the cargo ship that was about to set sail, Yarman fiddled with the Polaroid camera he bought from the port grocery store, and suddenly smiled and touched the back of his head.
Why didn't I think of this idea before... Taking a photo is such a good idea.
Camera is not a rare thing, and he has been to more than this interesting settlement.
If all of them were taken, those photos should have been covered with a whole wall.
What a pity!
While talking, he took another photo of the sunset that was sinking into the sea.
It's okay, it's not too late to record from now on, and the road of life is still long... The visionary eagle patted his shoulder with anger, pretending to be serious and practicing his unskilled couplet.
That's what I said...
Yarman grinned and put away the camera.
He suddenly felt that these refuge residents were not that annoying. If he put aside his position, it was actually quite interesting to be friends with them.
These people's minds are fast, and they can always come up with some whimsical ideas... including the legendary space elevator under construction.
He couldn't imagine how these people called him master, and it would seem quite disappointing if they were like that.
Before they had enough fun, the crew members went up to the deck through the gangway in turn. After the captain counted the number, they walked to Yarman.
We are ready, we can set off at any time... Speaking of which, is it okay to go back with an empty boat?We had two trips in vain.
Yarman said with great enthusiasm.
No problem, and this trip is not a waste of time.After we get back this trip, we can soon start a new and more profitable deal...Ah, sorry, the dividends of this deal may be
Looking at the boss who was in high spirits the previous second and stuttered the next second, the captain made an indifferent expression and shrugged his shoulders.
It doesn’t matter. In fact, I heard you say that there is such a high profit, and I know that there is no good thing... If there is no, there is no. I just hope that I won’t miss my birthday now, and my family is still waiting for me to go back.
The visionary eagle asked curiously.
What is the birthday day?
It was the day when the Willant people were born and the beginning of a great legend.
Yarman's mouth raised slightly, he looked at the sea in the distance, and shouted with a loud voice.
set sail!
The air whistle sounds.
When the empty cargo ships were still at the port and refused to leave, a group of eight cargo ships had already pursued the direction of the setting sun and embarked on a new journey.
The fiery red light shone in the direction they were moving forward, and the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire shimmering ocean.
That burning color.
Just like blood stained red.
