The bald man had a questioning look on his face, and then nodded slightly. It seemed that he had received some kind of instructions. All this fell in the eyes of Ryan and Alando.
Allendo whistled, Xiaobai stood up and wagged his tail at him, and then squatted lazily at Allendo's feet. Ryan immediately understood what Alando meant, and the latter asked him to delay as much time as possible so that Alando could find out the answer.
"Since you are willing to pay him back, then take it out!" The bald man stretched out his palm and said to Ryan.
Ryan's mind was racing and he suddenly had an idea. He said calmly: "How about you count several thousand gold coins on the street?"
This sentence made the surrounding crowd burst into laughter. The bald man's face turned red, his eyes turned to his right side again, then back to Ryan, and said: "What do you want to do?"
What Ryan wanted was the behavior of the bald man. Standing aside, he pretended to be careless and didn't even look in that direction. He knew that Allen, standing aside, had a better chance. Every word and deed he said and did must be reflected in his words. In the eyes of the opponent, why should the opponent be alert
Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we find a place and count slowly. There are several thousand gold coins, and the weight is not light. Who would carry it with them every day?"
The bald man obviously couldn't make the decision, but it was impossible for him to object to Ryan's reasonable suggestion face to face, so he turned his eyes to his right side again. This time he seemed to have received a stern warning, which made him tremble slightly with fear.
Allen patted Xiaobai more, and the latter shouted at him. After getting the signal, Ryan smiled and said: "It seems that everyone is fine, let's find a place." After saying this, Ryan said to Flanner: "There is also the Pride of the Lion here, do you know the way? You might as well take us with you!”
At the Lion's Pride Inn, Ryan, Alando and Flanner were sitting around the dining table.
Ryan and Alando slowly chewed the delicious food, watching with smiles on their faces as Flanner devoured it, while Xiaobai lay quietly on the ground, slowly licking a bone.
After Flanner finished the last piece of smoked seabass in front of him and burped with satisfaction, Ryan was ready to speak. He wiped his hands, took out the sheepskin with the contract written on it from his arms, and told Franna Na said: "Look, is it this one?"
An awkward smile appeared on Flanner's face. He didn't need to take it. He just glanced at it and confirmed: "Yes. Dear Magician Ryan, I will use this money..."
Ryan shook his head and firmly interrupted Flanner: "No need. I just want you to confirm." After saying that, Ryan flicked his fingers, and a small handful of flames happily jumped out of his fingertips and jumped to On this sheepskin contract, the sheepskin was immediately ignited, and the flames quickly spread to the entire sheepskin.
"Ah!" Flanner didn't expect Ryan to burn this sheepskin. He spent nearly three thousand gold coins on this thing. "This... soon... ugh!" Flanner was a little incoherent. He subconsciously looked at Ryan, who had a calm face. There was no expression of heartache, nor was there any affectation to win people's hearts.
"Ryan casually threw the almost-burned sheepskin into an empty basin on the table. It was the empty basin that Flanner had just finished eating and had not been cleared away by the waiter. Ryan originally wanted to throw it on the ground, but the Lion King Zhi Ao's VIP private room is very luxuriously decorated, and the thick carpet on the floor must be valuable. If it burns out, it will be an unnecessary expense.
Although Ryan has a lot of gold coins, he will never use them indiscriminately. In a sense, Flanner is his first "friend". Ryan will definitely spare no effort to help his friends.
After the entire sheepskin contract was burned to ashes, Ryan calmly said to Flanner: "Don't worry about it. I just did what a friend should do."
"Thank you!" The corners of Flanner's eyes became crystal clear. During these days when he was hiding in Tibet, the so-called "friends" who usually ate, drank, and were brothers either found excuses to shirk, or simply reported information and betrayed him. This was the only one who was close to him. Only a young magician who has a special destiny would use such a generous means to help him.
Of course Flanner would not distrust Ryan. If Ryan was going to do harm to him, the thieves would not have helped him when they robbed him. Especially when he was being held hostage by Scar, there was no need to save him at all, as long as he acted secretly. A few hands and feet are enough to kill him, and he can kill himself in a reasonable way. All he had to do was silence him afterwards, and Ryan's performance at that time was enough to do that. What he had worked so hard to obtain belonged to him, and he didn't have to bear any burden.
In the past few days, he has experienced too many betrayals and betrayals, but he has also met sincere friends. Flanner, who is good at business, does not know whether he is losing money or making a profit, but he has already made up his mind to repay Ryan. good friend.
Ryan smiled and shook his head, indicating that there was no need to be polite to Flanner. Ryan thought for a while and said to Flanner: "Recall that the bald man seemed to be instructed by others. Do you still remember, when I agreed? When he paid you back, his expression was not happy, but embarrassed, as if his original plan was not to really ask you for debt."
"Alas!" Flanner's face was full of loneliness. He sighed and said in a very unwilling tone: "This is all because I was too eager to get things done, and ended up being plotted by others."
Flanner said with self-pity: "This is all my fault. I am not down-to-earth enough in doing things. I always want to reach the sky in one step, but in the end..."
As Flanner murmured to himself, Ryan and Allendo understood the whole story:
There is no ruler in Free Paradise Yignas City. Its management has always been composed of thirteen chambers of commerce headquartered in Free Paradise Yignas City. All affairs in Free Paradise Yignas City are managed by Representatives of these thirteen chambers of commerce negotiated and settled the matter.
Among these thirteen chambers of commerce, the largest one is the largest chamber of commerce in mainland China, the Dolock Business Alliance.
The Dorok Business Alliance has a history of only more than two hundred years, but it has the largest financial resources. It is said that all it has is enough to buy the entire Yignas City. Of course, this is just a legend. The current president of the Dorok Business Alliance Chilaviv has always lived in seclusion and never exposed his whereabouts in front of outsiders.
Chiraviv, the president of the Dorok Business Alliance, was just a small apprentice 40 years ago. At the age of 20, he actually reached the position of president in just over ten years. This is of course because he has the qualities of others. His unparalleled business genius is also related to the system of the Dorok Business Alliance.
In order to keep Dorok always full of vitality, its president is not inherited from father to son like other chambers of commerce, but has to go through a series of competitions. When the previous president reaches old age, the selection of the next successor will begin.
Anyone can join the competition for the heir to Dorok, regardless of status or net worth. As long as they sign up, they can start the first round of secret selection.
The first round of selection is very simple. Applicants will draw lots and randomly select five different tasks from more than 10,000 tasks with different difficulties. Then he will use his own abilities to complete them within the next five years. These five tasks are required to qualify for the second round of the finals. Of course, since the five tasks selected will never be the same, it is inevitable that the difficulty will vary too much, but as a successful businessman, luck is also very important.
The time Flanner hired Ryan was when he was completing his fifth mission. It took him four years and a lot of hardships to finally find the items required for the fifth mission. In order to ensure the safety of the period, He hired Ryan, and later handed it over to the inspector who heard the news in Alpha City. After confirming that it was correct, Flanner was immediately taken to a secret location, where he saw Dorok Business again. Chilaviv, the president of the alliance.
After some conversation, Flanner received a lot of advice from Chilaviv, the president of the Dorok Business Alliance, and officially became qualified to compete for the next president and entered the second round of selection.
The second round of selection is also very simple, that is, starting from the second year of qualification, you will spend a full twenty years to develop your own business. Competitors can create their own chambers of commerce and set up mercenary groups. Anyway, as long as they are legal , just earn as many gold coins as possible.
The competitor with the most gold coins will become the final winner of the entire selection and become the next president.
The other losers are not in vain. After all, there is only one winner. The wealth accumulated by other losers in the selection is allowed to be retained. If his performance is very outstanding, he will also have the opportunity to become a principal. This is a position second only to the president. Major matters of the Duoluo Chamber of Commerce are handled through consultation between the president and multiple principals.
Flanner was born in a poor family and was interested in business since he was a child. He became a "hawker" when he was 7 years old. Later, as he got older, he gradually learned some things about business. After twenty years of hard work, , became a slightly famous businessman. His idol is Chilaviv, a talented businessman who came out of the slums. In order to get Chilaviv's guidance and even become the next president of Dorok, Flanner participated in the selection and successfully entered the second round.
Perhaps because of the smooth sailing ahead, Flanner's mentality changed. He began to be eager for success, hoping to get enough gold coins in a short time to buy a sea ship and carry out the sea breeze city. Shipping between Sunrise City and Sunrise City was the legal and most profitable method he could think of.
Several consecutive adventures have been successful, and the two thousand gold coins in Flanner's hand have turned into eight thousand. However, to buy a sea ship, even if it is eliminated by the large chamber of commerce, it will cost ten thousand gold coins. This At that time, Flanner happened to get the news that a certain chamber of commerce was preparing to replace the ship. He immediately got busy and spent a lot of gold coins. Finally, in a private place, he met the person in charge of this matter from the chamber of commerce, a man named Sami. supervisor, and got a minimum price: nine thousand gold coins.
