"But because you are in a hurry to come back now, you have not raised a lot of money in the capital at all. In order to take so many orders, you have to decide to borrow money from the members of these Vaticans and associations. And promise them that they can give a 15% return on investment as compensation after one year. "
"What --?"?! 15%——?!”
Viscount Ritchie was bleeding in one breath. The amount was so high that he couldn't help it any more——
"President Ariel, do you know the concept of 15% annual revenue growth? Now we have constant friction with the hunter empire. I'm afraid that only the military trade associations can guarantee that they can increase their camp income by 15% every year. Now you tell me, let me tell them that they will give 15% of their camp income after the expiration of one year?! How can we have so much money?! "
Ariel said with a smile, "don't worry, I'll never joke about making money. 15% shouldn't be a problem for me. I just hope you can tell those people these things. "
Seeing that Ariel was still calm, viscount Ritchie sat down in his seat and said, "well, do you mean that I go to the Vatican and the association, promise them a 15% return, and then borrow money? How much do you want me to borrow? A hundred? Two hundred? "
Ariel continued to smile and said, "if you can, it doesn't matter to borrow a thousand gold coins directly."
At that moment, viscount Ruichi put on a helpless expression again. He shook his head and said, "President Ariel, before that, I can easily promise you anything, because I think you are very creative and have ideas. But I absolutely disagree with that. "
He pointed to the gate, groaned and said, "the two of them add up to twenty. How can a team of only 20 people carry a thousand gold coins with them? In my opinion, it's a lot if each of them can carry ten gold coins! "
Seeing that Ruichi was so nervous now, Ariel raised her hand, comforted her, smiled and said, "don't worry, listen to me. I don't want you to really raise a thousand gold coins from them at once. "
When the Viscount looked at herself eagerly and looked very puzzled, Ariel smiled and said her way directly——
"Well, I don't want you to really squeeze a thousand gold coins out of those twenty people. I also know they can't carry so much money with them. What I need you to do is to give them a contract and let them decide how much money they want to lend you. It can be ten gold coins, fifty gold coins or a hundred gold coins. Write down the money they are willing to lend you on this contract, and then ask each of them to put their fingerprints on their promises. Of course, I'll help you draw up the contents of the contract. "
"After you get this contract, you don't have to ask them how much they charge, but to ask each of them their home address and ask them not to exaggerate their savings at will. For example, a magician, together with his house, carriage and other property, movable and real property can only be worth 50 gold coins. They can't say that they lend you 500 gold coins at one go. If they don't have 500 gold coins, you can collect their real estate, sell their wives and daughters as slaves, and so on. Make it clear first, so that they won't drink too much and write down a money they can't afford. "
Viscount Ruichi still looked puzzled, but he wrote down this operation silently.
Ariel then said, "then, after you have raised the contract for the amount that 20 people on both sides are willing to lend, if it exceeds 1000 gold coins, you can lend it to me and I will accept it. If you think it exceeds 1000 gold coins, you can keep it yourself, but you have to be responsible for finding a way to pay the 15% return on the excess money. Another possibility is that you haven't borrowed enough 1000 gold coins. In this case, I'm afraid you need Viscount Ruichi to work harder to fill the vacancy. "
"Then, you come to me with the receipt contract for these 1000 gold coins. Of course, I don't need you to mortgage these contracts with me, but I need you to sign another contract with me. "
"The contract will state where you raised 1000 gold coins and obtained the consent of those people. You will invest these 1000 gold coins according to the wishes of viscount Ritchie Wald. The investment risk is borne by those investors, and you are only responsible for the intermediary. Your decision is to invest 1000 gold coins in my mermaid song. At the same time, I will confirm with you the return on investment of 20% after maturity. "
At that moment, viscount Ruichi's eyes stared out: "2... 2... 2... 20%?"
Ariel smiled, nodded again and said, "yes, I will give you 20% of the amount as the labor fee for you to sign this contract for me. However, please keep this secret from outsiders ~ ~ ~ "
It was obvious that the Viscount had now given up thinking and listened to Ariel——
"In this way, after I get the contract with you, you don't have to really give me money. I will default that the contract between us is worth 1000 gold coins."
"Then, I will use the contract with you as a voucher to raise more funds in nearby cities. You've given me a guarantee of credibility. Don't worry. I'll never give a high rate of return of 15% for the funds raised next. It may only be 14, 13 or even below 10. "
"After such an operation, you don't need to really pay, and I can get the investment I want. For both of us, it's the best of both worlds. "
"After the end of the year, I will return you 1200 gold coins according to the contract between us, and you can return 1150 of the 1200 gold coins to the people of the association and the Holy See to fulfill the contents of the contract. In this way, everything is happy. What about? Do you understand? "
Viscount Ritchie frowned, as if listening to some profound mathematical problem, and his eyes had narrowed into a line. After hesitating for a moment, he quickly raised his hand and slapped himself in the face. He continued to lie on the table and think carefully.
After a long time, he finally recovered slowly, raised his head and looked at Ariel in front of him with an almost incredible look: "do you mean... We make a triangular contract? In other words... You have entered into an investment contract with those paladins, priests and magicians through my relationship? Let them... Invest in your guild? "
Ariel clapped her hand and said with a smile, "it should be said that it is an indirect contract. In this case, the future Lord of Pelican city signed a contract with them, and the future Lord of Pelican city signed a contract with me. If this business is successful, it will definitely be a matter of long reputation for you, viscount Ritchie! I really can't see anything wrong here. Ah, of course, if you think the operation process is too complicated, I can write you a memo or a memo. You just need to follow the above steps step by step. "
Although Viscount Ruichi still didn't understand much, he finally nodded and recognized Ariel: "although... I may still have some incomprehension, why do you want to do such a complex thing... But I understand what you just said. Both of you are signing a contract with my Lord. At that time, you will complete the two contracts in one breath, My Lord's reputation can also rise! OK, I'll listen to you. It's the right thing to do anyway, isn't it? If that's not wrong, I'll do it! "
Ariel clapped her hand and said with a smile, "I knew Viscount Ritchie would understand the essence of making money. Also, if Viscount Ruichi thinks my business is easy to earn, so you want to invest some money in me, I won't mind at all. But these may not be 20%, but restored to 15%
Viscount Ritchie was now full of admiration. It can be seen that he had never thought that there was such a way of playing with things like economy before? After pondering over the logic circuit, viscount Ruichi nodded and sighed——
"President Ariel, in this way, you can say that you are deliberately trying to bind all these people to you. But I've heard some rumors. The association and the Holy See don't seem very satisfied with your mermaid song, do they? Instead, you tie them to your element car and make money with them... Is this really appropriate? "
Ariel smiled and said, "don't worry about this. My consistent purpose is to help each other when they are in trouble and make money together when they have money. You see, have I violated this principle in the past three years? "
Viscount Ruichi nodded and agreed. After laughing, he went on to ask one last question——
"But... President Ariel, although there is a lot of operating space for what you just said, I want to ask... If, I mean if."
"If the people of the association and the Holy See have well maintained their character and do not want to borrow money... What should they do?"
Ariel smiled at the question.
Then she spoke again of a practice that completely stunned the viscount.
After listening to this practice, viscount Ruichi looked at Ariel with skeptical eyes. He didn't know whether he should admire this woman's ghost ideas now? Or marvel at her bold and reckless behavior?
Anyway, this plan should be feasible.
