Chapter 394 393. Invest? Why not? Transians always have a big appetite

"You rarely appear in this place at this time. It really surprises me. Your eyes seem to be filled with some kind of indescribable determination. Can I venture to ask, what happened to you just now?"

In the office in the corridor, Murphy, the dog planner who had just completed the "First Phase of the Plan for the 003 Corps of Corpses", put down the quill in his hand and looked at Count Andre who came in through the door.

The Governor's handsome face was full of smiles, and it could be seen from the twinkling light in his eyes that this bad guy must know why Andre came here.

He just wanted to hear it from the earl, who was younger than him but equally ambitious.

"I don't believe you haven't arranged eavesdropping spells in your corridor, but I don't care about that, and I must say it bluntly, I feel like you have recruited a group of incredible guys from another world."

Earl Baishan said angrily:

"One of them has just conducted some deep-seated temptation on me. I know that he intends to take advantage of my reputation and status. However, I have to admit that his nonsense is quite reasonable.

I have already made my decision, and I am here to disturb you just to confirm whether the industry I am about to invest in has the approval and protection of the official government of Transia?

Please understand, Governor Murphy, my background and my style determine that I cannot do things that would bring disgrace to the family."

"If this is what you want to ask, I will tell you that I do not support their actions, but I will not object to it either. Time will tell whether the emergence of an alien casino will have a good or bad impact on this land.

.”

Murphy patted the casino plan that Miriam had just sent to him. Those guys gave this casino a nice name "Booty Bay".

Although the address they chose happens to be beside a bay stream of the Cadman River, so the name is not too outrageous, but hey, don’t think I don’t know where you got your inspiration!

This is the hobgoblin who has made up his mind to become Transia.

However, these thoughts and complaints could not be disclosed to Count Andre, so Murphy changed to a gentler tone and told the truest thoughts in his heart to the Yankee Count in front of him.

He said:

"My governor told me that this project will definitely make a lot of money, and with your participation, it will have entered Transia and will soon complete the first transaction in Bataxin City and go to the Scarlet Castle for inspection.

It became an instant success with the great Nord businessman.

This is a rare opportunity for this kind of ‘entertainment industry’.

But the advice I want to give you is that for the sake of your reputation, you'd better not get involved personally. Choosing a "white glove" is the safest way.

Do you want me to introduce you to some people?"

"No need."

When Andre heard Murphy's answer, he felt confident.

Then, he replied awkwardly:

"My servant Vesta will properly solve these problems for me, and I come to you today with an unspeakable and unkind request.

It's embarrassing to say it, but I may need to borrow some money from you first for investment."

This was probably the first time that Andre, who was born in a noble family, made such an unseemly request to others. His fair face showed a blush caused by nervousness and thin skin.

Murphy was stunned for a moment when he heard this request, and then he immediately reacted, thinking that his ability to bewitch was quite good, and in a few words, Andre was brought into another corner.

The vampire lord stood up immediately and said:

"Are you being a little too extreme?

I mean, I understand that you want to distance yourself from your sister and the Grand Duke to prove your independence and growth, but there is no need for such a complete separation.

You need to grasp this subtlety.

I believe that if you send all your current property back to Beifong Castle, it will reveal an unnecessary danger signal to Her Majesty the Wolf Lady, which means that you may have to sever certain relationships with her.

What I mean is, just stop asking for help from now on, there is no need to turn yourself into a pauper all of a sudden."

"I understand, Your Majesty the Governor, I am not reckless to that extent."

Andre explains:

"Currently, I have sealed the funds and supplies of the Baishan Faction, and they will not be used until my personal adventure and speculation fails.

My idea is that I should start from scratch like you. Those supplies represent a certain kind of "cowardice". If I use them again, it will prove that I am far from as good as I thought.

This is a test for myself.”

"Well, such actions show me your determination. Of course, I will help you as a friend and comrade-in-arms."

Murphy nodded and said:

"Later, a sum of funds sufficient for your initial investment will be sent to your place of residence, but please understand that since you want to give yourself a test, we might as well just follow the rules.

The money I lend you will charge a certain amount of interest, which will definitely be lower than the market rate."

"I accept!"

Andre breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Don't you need me to sign an IOU? If my investment fails, you can take it to Beifeng Castle and ask for it from my sister."

"I'm worried that the moment I step into the ice palace, I will be chopped to the ground by the Nord royal guards."

Murphy rolled his eyes and said:

"Bewitching my dear brother to run away from home is unacceptable to any responsible sister. My image in Her Majesty's mind will definitely become extremely bad because of your speculation.

But it doesn't matter. This is a risk that must be taken for the sake of friendship.

Businessmen from your homeland are about to arrive at Scarlet Castle in a week. I know that your personality has never been like to participate in such social affairs, but if you want to get a return on your investment as soon as possible, maybe you should also make appropriate changes.

Check out your own style.

what do you think?"

"Well, that's a good suggestion. I will adopt it, so I won't bother you anymore."

The Earl of White Mountain stood up and said goodbye to Murphy.

After he left, Murphy called his trusted intelligence officer and housekeeper Adele, and asked her to go to the Blood Vulture family treasure house to withdraw a piece of property and send it to Andre's loyal servant Vesta.

This is a private loan and is not recorded in the accounts.

However, the territory's development and expenditure during this period have made the blood vulture treasury less abundant than before, and Murphy felt that he should increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

However, he also knew that this situation was not the time to worry about money. If the rapid development of the territory could not be guaranteed, then when the black disaster really arrived in Transia, the jackals would definitely give him a big "surprise".

"Decided!"

Murphy secretly made up his mind in the office. He said:

"Before the black disaster really comes, you must spend all the money in the treasury! At most, leave a sum as a reward for the army and small players.

I hope that the construction that can be brought about by spending this money can add more chances of winning to this land.

However, things like casinos always sound a bit weird. How about issuing a 'special operating right'? This will prevent this kind of thing that brings trouble to rule from appearing again and again.

etc.

If it's a license, wouldn't it be possible to collect more money?

Tsk tsk, Miriam and Professor Malcolm will definitely complain about this being immoral from a moral perspective, but in the end they will still happily accept this proposal based on realist thinking.

Well, that’s it.”

——

Businessmen from Nordtov have completed the delivery of the first wave of supplies with representatives of the Batassin Chamber of Commerce and the Cadman People's Army in Batassin City.

This transaction was carried out under the framework of the "Aid Agreement" reached between Transian officials and Nordtov officials. The businessmen who could participate in it were all well-known wealthy businessmen in the Yankees and chambers of commerce that were closely connected with the royal family.

Knight Pallian, who presided over the delivery, could say without exaggeration that every one of the Yankee businessmen in front of her was the white glove of the upper class.

There are no people in this era who can truly start their own business from scratch and build a business that can intervene in the national business level, but this is nothing to be ashamed of or despise.

Because Knight Palian knew very well that he was actually one of them.

In the eyes of others, her current identity and status are the "white gloves" of the Governor of Transia and the Scarlet Consul. To be honest, without this identity, Palian knew that she would not even be qualified to look up to this circle.

And now she is taking her two assistants, her two precious daughters, to count the goods in the newly built temporary warehouse outside Bataxin City.

The members and subordinates belonging to the Batasin Chamber of Commerce are all busy here, and all the large and small merchants in Transia have been gathered together and twisted into a rope by the Palian Knights.

They are all shrewd people, and naturally they know that working hard now can bring about the possibility of a class jump for themselves and their families.

Driven by such a desire, there was no need for Knight Palian to even ask for advice. Everyone in the entire venue was working very hard.

"Everyone, work harder. The count will be completed before evening. There is a banquet to attend in the evening. All those who have obtained the status of 'civil servants' put on their best clothes and brought their families over."

Knight Palian stood on a box and shouted to the people around him:

"If you haven't prepared the gowns in advance, you can go to my eldest daughter to pick them up later. Archon Miriam has already designed and provided ceremonial gowns for the civil servants."

"This is very tiring, Mrs. Palin."

An old businessman next to him was sitting on a box to rest and beat his legs. He said with a strange expression:

“I used to envy the leisurely lives of decent people, but after I truly became one of them, I realized that their lives were not easy at all.

I never thought that going to a banquet would become a headache and resistance.

Now I have to listen to those Yankees read those sour poems at the banquet again, and I think my little grandson’s writing is better than them!”
