In the end, Goodell bowed down and respectfully sent Dane out of the grocery store in person, with a smile on his face, and handed a stack of papers to Dane.
It was a business contract that the two had negotiated before.
Of course, a commercial contract couldn't be that thick. The thickest stack was bills for the Shire Bank's gold coins.
A few thin sheets of paper were handed over to Dane, which represented a deposit of 15,000 gold coins! Although Goodell is not a big businessman with a particularly rich net worth, he can make a certain reputation in Shahai Harbor, at least he has little assets. But asking him to take out so much working capital in one breath is still too much. But there was no way, under Dane's strong request, he also had to pay such a high price in exchange for the opportunity to make money in the future.
There was a smile on his face, but he dared not show the pain in his heart until Dane disappeared into the vast crowd.
A half-orc man who looked like a bodyguard came out from the side, and said, "Boss, this man is the mercenary leader who bought the deserted island of Cormyrya from you back then." ?”
Hearing what his bodyguard said, Goodell jumped up and slapped that guy, cursing: "Yel, you idiot! How dare you talk! Back then, I bought that island with thousands of gold coins , let you take people to the island to investigate, you tell me that it is a place full of monsters and worthless? Huh?!"
The half-orc bodyguard named Yael who was slapped by Goodell said very aggrieved: "Boss, I was leading more than 60 people at the time, fighting various monsters on the island, and following the map you gave According to your instructions, most of the coastal areas have been ascertained, and there is indeed nothing but the most common stones! Even, the land there is more barren than the most barren desert in the eastern wasteland. It's a barren place."
As soon as the words fell, Yael's ankle was kicked by Goodell again.
"How dare you say it? Barren land, barren land, those black crystals popped out of the ground? Those monsters are really as difficult to fight as you said, and Dane can stand firm on them." Months? Damn, I sold that island to countless people, and the longest one didn’t stay on it for a month, so they all came back disheveled and returned to me at a lower price. "
"Originally, Comilla Island is a good treasure that I use to earn money from those fools. There are always some idiots who don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and want to visit Comilla, but they pay six or seven hundred gold coins each time to become the lord. Those who have dreams will come back in despair and sell them back to me for three or four hundred gold coins. It is a business with no profit. The result is good now, such a big island really makes that bastard Dane a few hundred gold coins. Bought it and found Sombra on it! Damn it, if people find out that Sombra is produced in Cormyr, everyone will say that smart Goodall is the stupidest person in the world! It's all your fault, blame You are a big fool! You are an idiot! You are fired, do you know? Get out of here, as far away as possible, I never want to see you again!"
Yell ran away, but Goodell still looked angry, and he really wanted to slap himself twice. Back then, when he bought Comilla, he should have hired better and more powerful people to carefully inspect the island from top to bottom. If, at the beginning, he had done this, perhaps, the black crystal vein would be his!
Of course, Goodale had no idea what the situation on Cormyr was like. He didn't know how Dane got rid of so many faceless men, and he didn't know that there was even a huge dungeon made up of monsters in the underground world of Comilla Island.
…
While Goodell was devastated, Dane was elated.
After negotiating a big deal, in the not-too-distant future, billowing gold coins will flow into his pocket like a river flowing across the river. It's such a wonderful feeling.
After wandering around the market in Shawan Harbor and having a deposit of 15,000 gold coins in his pocket, Dane was already considered a rich man. If you have money, how can you do it without spending it? With his bodyguards, he made a lot of purchases at the market in Shawan Harbor. However, Dane has always been able to recognize himself, and he will not get rich in vain and start to be extravagant-in fact, he really wants to be extravagant, but he dare not.
The construction on Cormia costs money like water, and there is a huge Faceless Dungeon like a time bomb under the bottom, and the development of armaments cannot be slack. In this way, when you have to grasp it with both hands, it seems that there are a lot of gold coins in your hand. If you really want to use them, how long you can last is still an unknown number.
Of course, it must be worth the money spent. After Comilla becomes more powerful, is there still no chance to make money? Among other things, if he develops more troops, he will be able to go to the underground world to grab more Sombra back. Even, it is not impossible to wipe out that dungeon in one fell swoop, and take that black crystal vein that must exist as his own. That's where the big money is made. Right now, these are just drizzle.
In addition to buying some necessities to maintain the life of the island residents in the market, most of the other money was used to buy wood, ore, and other rare resources. Now he has basically figured out the number of resources that can be recognized by the system as 'one unit'. About one hundred gold coins can buy ore and wood, which is equal to 'one unit'. Sulfur, crystals, mercury, and gems that can be bought with two hundred gold coins are called 'one unit'.
With a big wave of his hand, Dane bought a total of 8,000 gold coins of various resources, plus some daily necessities, and consumer goods such as wine and meat. The 15,000 gold coins he just got were just There are only about five thousand left.
Looking at the rapidly shrinking wallet, he felt like crying, and he couldn't see the boldness when he spent the money at all. It has to be said that Dane is still a miser in essence.
"Boss, are you still shopping?" Noah asked next to him.
Dane said angrily, "What the hell are you shopping around for?"
"Don't we have five thousand gold coins? We can buy a lot of good things."
Hitting this kid on the head, Dane said: "You bastard, we are getting bigger and bigger now, can we still spend as much as we did before? Can we have a little awareness of development? If you don’t leave any money for emergency use, what should you do if something happens in the future?”
"Oh...then why are we going now?"
"Why else? Go to the tavern! There is no money to buy things, but there is still money for everyone to have a good meal, haha!"
While talking and laughing, under the leadership of Dane, everyone walked towards the outside of the market.
