Relying on her own identity, Clarice has done a lot of work in the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, which has played a considerable role in borrowing money. Otherwise, if only relying on Verina, she opened her mouth and wanted to borrow 100,000 gold coins from the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, even with collateral and Li Xi, it would be almost impossible to borrow. For the sake of face, if someone is struggling, they may spend 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and it will definitely be impossible to do more.
But Clarice is different. As the person in charge of the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce in Shawan Port, she knows a lot of people within the Chamber of Commerce. With Prince Eastman behind her, she can do a lot.
She has won such a sum of money for the territory, which can be said to have made great contributions.
According to the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, the 100,000 gold coins will be fully credited within three days at most. As for the money, Dane didn't ask for cash, he hoped to exchange it with various equivalent resources.
The money was used by him to rebuild White Wolf Fort, Rotten Wolf Town, and Shawan Harbor.
It is something to be happy to get a sum of money from the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce, but the Shire Chamber of Commerce has not yet given a clear statement on whether they are willing to lend money to Dane. However, the head of the Shire United Chamber of Commerce, Shorty Bickley, said that he wanted to visit Dane in White Wolf Castle.
Dane decided to wait for him.
…
On the last day of February, Dane met Bickley in the main castle of White Wolf Castle.
"Long time no see." Dane said with a smile, the expression on his face was quite enthusiastic.
Bickley stepped forward and opened his hands, while Dane leaned down and hugged the little man whose height was less than his waist, and the two of them ended their pleasantries.
Sit relatively well and get down to business.
"I need the support of my friends in Shire." Dane said straight to the point without being long-winded: "The war is over, and the entire territory of Schindler will be under my rule, and it will prosper. But the war The scars left behind have not been healed. I need a lot of money to do these things. Even the Sequoia Chamber of Commerce lent me 100,000 gold coins on very generous terms. I believe that my Shire friends will not Let me down?"
"Of course, we Shire value friends the most." Bickley said, "But, Dane, you want too much."
"Three hundred thousand gold coins, shouldn't be a big problem for the wealthy Shire?"
Bickley shook his head and said, "Opening your mouth is worth 300,000 gold coins. Dane, no matter how rich the Shire is, they can't afford such a demand."
Dane frowned: "Our cooperation has always been quite pleasant. This time, I have encountered a problem. Are you going to stand by and watch? I know, you can definitely get 300,000 gold coins; you must also know , I can't afford to pay back the 300,000 gold coins."
Bickley said with a smile: "Of course, of course, I really believe in the strength of the famous Governor of Dire Wolf, and I don't doubt your character and ability to repay the loan at all. It's just that, such a large sum of money, what do we put in it?" Any place can generate very large profits.”
Dane also smiled: "Want money?"
Bickley said: "In business, it is impossible to lend you 300,000 gold coins. However, if it is invested in you, we are still interested."
"Invest in what?"
"Cinderella."
"Oh?" Dane became interested.
At the beginning, when Bickley mentioned profit, Dane felt a little unhappy—they obviously felt that it was a very bad thing to lend Dane so much money, even with a certain amount of interest.
However, now it seems that these Shire people seem to have a very clear goal.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Dane sat upright, intending to listen to the thoughts of these dwarves.
"Sooner or later, you will recover Cinderella one day, right? We can give you enough support, and we can even send a team to follow your army and follow your command to participate in the battle to recover Cinderella .”
"And what we need is to be able to have the right to choose the spoils first after we regain Cinderella. All the spoils selected will be distributed in proportion."
"At the same time, after regaining Cinderella and clearing out most of the demons in the entire territory of Cinderella, we hope to obtain the exclusive rights of Cinderella's raw materials. Of course, we don't seek a monopoly, but just hope that It is more convenient when doing raw material business in Schindler."
"At the same time, we also hope to obtain the right to mine minerals. In Schindler, the Shire has the right to explore, purchase and develop minerals, and operate the products themselves. Of course, the land is yours, and we will pay for the mine. Money, we are serious businessmen, and during the process of mineral development and operation, we will not lose a single penny of the taxes that should be paid.”
"Look, can you agree?"
They have already come up with conditions, and this condition, in Dane's view, is a little bit suspected of exorbitant prices.
However, since this matter has changed from 'borrowing money' to 'investment', it is a business matter.
People demanded a lot of money, so Dane could naturally bargain.
"Bickley, you Shire people really have a big appetite." He sighed, and then continued: "You want to get these things in exchange for 300,000 gold coins? You guys are going too far."
Bickley said with a smile: "Hey... these are all things that can be discussed. In fact, this is also the meaning of the upper management of the chamber of commerce, but I do have some authority in my hands. Let's talk about it. If you have other opinions, please speak up." Let’s talk, let’s see if I can get you some more favorable terms.”
The words were still nice, but Dane wouldn't believe a word. Bickley is a Shireman, and his interests and standpoints make it impossible for him to achieve the so-called 'struggling for more favorable terms' from Dane's perspective.
He's not Clarice.
Dane didn't care too much, he said: "I can take you Shire people to fight Cinderella, don't you just want the leather, wool, and magic materials left by the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce? I can give them to you, but the share I have the final say on the ratio, and don’t even think about the right to choose first, I will give you materials equivalent to 300,000 gold coins in a fair way, but I have the final say on what to give you!”
"This..." The smile on Bickley's face froze. He wanted to refute Dane's conditions, but looking at Dane's firm face that was completely non-negotiable, he couldn't speak for a moment.
However, Dane's condition has just been stated the first one.
