Views:

Jinpeng Bank, located on Mingguang Street, is one of the most impressive buildings on the street. At the bank's gate, there are twelve stone pillars with two people hugging each other. In the middle of the building, above the stone pillars on both sides of the bank's gate, there is a stone pillar with more than ten people. Meter-long relief sculpture of a huge four-winged Jinpeng - this big bird with four wings is the symbol of Jinpeng Bank. In Chinese mythology and legend, it feeds on dragons and is the master of the sky, the earth, and the ocean. By.

Walking into the lobby, you feel like you are entering a palace. The black marble floor in the lobby is shiny. There is no service counter that can be seen at a glance like other banks in Heiyan City. Instead, there are two rows. In the service room, people come out and people go in. Each service room only serves one customer at a time. Here, every customer's privacy can be kept absolutely confidential.

Guests who come here wait to rest in the sofa area outside the service room. Only after the customer in the service room leaves, the bank clerk in the service room will open the door of the service room and politely invite the next customer in.

The ruler of Black Flame City has changed, but the business of Jinpeng Bank has not been affected in any way, and has become even more prosperous. Whether it is the Andaman League or the Norman Empire, it makes no difference to Fortune Wings Bank.

Chinese people can enjoy some special services at Jinpeng Bank—for example, no need to queue!

Under the jealous gazes of a group of well-dressed and pot-bellied gentlemen in the rest area, the unattractive Zhang Tie came directly to the door of a service room. This is an exclusive service room for Chinese people in Jinpeng Bank. It is used as a service room with other service rooms. The difference is that the door of this service room is not dark red, but golden yellow that Chinese people like.

Standing at the door of this service room is a young Chinese man in his twenties. Seeing Zhang Tie arriving, he just made a gesture of invitation, walked in with Zhang Tie, and then closed the door.

The bank's service room is small, less than 20 square meters, and it is cleanly and neatly decorated. Every furnishing is very elegant, including a table and two chairs. Behind a set of sofas and tables is a transaction window similar to other bank counters, but nothing else.

The young bank clerk took Zhang Tie to a chair at the table and sat down, speaking in authentic Chinese.

"It's a pleasure to serve you. How can I help you?"

Zhang Tie took out the crystal gold ticket worth 5,000 gold coins from his pocket and handed it over. "I want to withdraw cash!"

The bank clerk in his 20s took the gold ticket. He was not surprised by the amount on the gold ticket. Instead, he carefully identified the anti-counterfeiting mark, dark pattern, and a series of special identification codes on the gold ticket. After a few seconds, , and then nodded. "All of them?"

"all!"

"Okay, please wait a moment!" The young man took the golden ticket, turned around and went to the trading window behind the table, and gently pressed a bell on the window. After a "ding" sound, the counter window opened, and the bank clerk handed Zhang Tie's gold ticket to the window, "The customer wants to withdraw cash. All!"

In just a few seconds, Zhang Tie boredly picked up a service card on the table introducing Jinpeng Bank's business and read it. In addition to the normal bank storage and credit business, Jinpeng Bank's other business types are simply all-inclusive - financial investment, asset entrustment management, auction pawns, debt processing, business group financing, armed escort, joint venture development, underground exploration, and employment of special personnel , information consultation and release... Zhang Tie, who came to Jinpeng Bank for the first time, was stunned. This was not a bank, it was clearly a bunch of monsters tied up by super business groups.

Seeing Zhang Tie's dumbfounded look, the young bank clerk came over and asked, "Sir, are you interested in our other services?"

"Can you provide all the services above?" Zhang Tie pointed to the content on the card in disbelief.

"Yes! We can provide all these services. Our bank also has many strong cooperative business groups and partners that have been strictly certified. We can meet any of your requirements!"

“Does Jinpeng Bank provide pioneering services?”

"The most powerful Wilderness House business group in Black Flame City is our partner. Their business group has business representatives here. If you need it, I can call their representatives to negotiate with you!"

Zhang Tie did not expect to find a business group that could provide land development services in Jinpeng Bank, which saved him a lot of trouble. Originally, he had planned to find a land development service business group to purchase things for building houses, but now it was Save yourself the trouble.

"Okay! Sorry to bother you, I'm looking for a business group that can provide pioneering services!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

The bank clerk in his 20s left from another door in the room. Just a minute later, a middle-aged man in his 40s and slightly bald came in from the inner door of the room. He took a pile of information and sat down. In front of Zhang Tie, this person must have learned about Zhang Tie's payment ability from the bank, so he was particularly respectful to Zhang Tie as soon as he came in.

"Hello, I am Lange, the business representative of the Pioneer House Business Group in Black Flame City. I heard that sir, you are very interested in the business of our business group!"

"Yes, a few friends and I are looking at a place in the wild. We are planning to settle there in a few days. I heard that you can help the pioneers build houses in the wild very quickly, so I want to consult!"

Upon hearing this, the bald Lange became happy, "Sir, you have found the right person. This is the strength of our business group. If you want to settle in the wilderness, you will have a safe and comfortable place to stay." But it’s very important. Our business group can help you design and customize a house that meets any of your needs as quickly as possible according to your specific needs. Can you tell me your requirements?”

It is very difficult to temporarily find raw materials to build a house in the wild, so many pioneers who are ready to settle down like to customize the house if conditions permit, and then assemble it in the place of their choice. There are many business groups and trading companies in Yancheng that provide such services, and Wilderness House is one of the best. The services provided by Wilderness House cover almost all the problems that need to be faced in pioneering and settling in the wilderness.

"Well, the house I need can meet the accommodation needs of about twenty people. It needs a particularly huge food warehouse. The construction of the house cannot be too complicated. In the case of insufficient manpower, it is best that only one strong man can complete it. The assembly of the house… ”

"Do you need the house to have strong protection against wild beasts? If necessary, we can provide different house building materials and external mobile home armor according to your different needs?" Lange asked, holding a pen and writing Start recording carefully on the form.

"No need, there are not many wild animals where we choose to settle. Even if there are a few, they are just our food. The only thing to worry about is that there are not many natural resources to use, so that we can quickly build their houses!"

"If that's the case, I suggest you choose the No. 3 wilderness cabin provided by our wilderness home!" Langer said, taking out a piece of information from the information around him and handing it to Zhang Tie, who took it When I came over, the information showed two refreshing single-story and double-story cabins with triangular roofs. There were several pictures below showing the structure of the cabins and perspective views from all angles.

“Will this cabin No. 3 meet all my needs?”

"Of course not, this is just a sample to tell you the general appearance and structure of this kind of wild wooden house. The No. 3 wooden house is divided into single-layer and double-layer structures. For each type, we provide six sizes for you to choose from. , the houses range from the smallest 30 square meters to 380 square meters, you can choose the house you need to combine and match... "

"Can one person complete the construction of this kind of wooden house?"

"Building this kind of wooden house is not much more difficult than building blocks for a child!" A smile appeared on Langer's face. "This kind of wooden house is specially designed for pioneers to settle in the wild. The wooden house adopts a modular construction idea. , all the materials needed to build this wooden house, we use standardized steel components and standard wooden components. We will put everything in categories. As long as you follow the instructions, you can easily build such a wooden house. stand up.

"How much does such a wooden house cost?" Zhang Tie was a little excited.

"Based on the floor area, the single-story wooden house costs 23 silver coins per square meter, and the double-story wooden house costs 34 silver coins per square meter. The double-story wooden house uses space and materials more efficiently, so it is relatively cheaper. Of course, this is only the material cost of the wooden house. If you need us to help you build it or help you transport the materials to places other than Black Flame City, labor and transportation costs will need to be calculated separately. The best we can provide now is For long transportation distances, only within the map area of Black Flame City that trucks can pass, a transportation fee of one percent of the wooden house cost will be charged every five kilometers."

"I will take care of the transportation myself. I have rented a warehouse in Black Flame City. You just need to send your things to the warehouse in Black Flame City!"

"If the delivery is only in Black Flame City, then we will not charge any transportation fees!"

Zhang Tie was thinking about the renovation of the Black Iron Castle in his mind, and was also calculating the cost of these wooden houses. The double-story wooden houses seemed to be much more cost-effective and the space utilization was better, but the single-story wooden houses were difficult to build. It seemed to be faster. After thinking about it for a few seconds, a pattern appeared in Zhang Tie's head - in the Black Iron Castle, with the small tree as the center and directly north of the small tree, there was a building occupying an area of A double-story wooden house of about 200 square meters is mainly used for living. To the west of the small tree, there are two slightly shorter single-story wooden houses. These two wooden houses can be regarded as their own food warehouses. To the east of the small tree is a slightly smaller two-story wooden house, which serves as his laboratory.

These four wooden houses surround the small tree and the spring, making it feel like a small wild manor.
