Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then smiled coquettishly: "It turns out that you, the master, gave Augustine the power, and you are not completely soft-hearted. There is even this layer of calculations involved. Now that the calculations have failed, what should we do next?"
"It doesn't matter if you fail, and there is no loss." Beta said calmly: "If Augustine can't receive the power of his enemy, then he can still become the captain of the caravan guard and be responsible for the safety of the caravan in the future. Talent is always useful.”
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Shirley responded softly, "Come in."
The door opened, and Amanda, who looked tired, saw Shirley hugging Beta with an intimate look on her face. She froze for a moment, and then smiled: "Would you like me to leave for a while?"
"No, you can report directly." Xue Li smiled with joy on her face: "Master won't mind."
Because of the divine friendship in the nightmare and illusion, the relationship between Beta and Shirley is quite harmonious now, and they can be said to be extremely close to each other. Although adhering to the bottom line, Beta will not have a real physical relationship with Shirley, but he does not have much resistance to such a hug and intimacy.
Amanda is not surprised by this. Nobles, if they are not a little frivolous, and they are not a little sloppy, no one will believe it when they say it. She raised a stack of parchment in her hand, and said, "The caravan has been built. This is the list, which includes their basic information, specialties, and personalities. You can go to the chamber of commerce to receive them sometime."
Beta took the parchment, looked at a few, took out ten gold coins from the space, put them on the table, and gently pushed them in front of Amanda: "The transaction is completed, this is the fee promised in advance, please check one time."
The ten gold coins stacked up look very dazzling. Amanda put the gold coins in the bag, and said with a sweet commercial smile: "I like to do business with a straightforward person like you. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to come to me."
Hearing this, Beta's heart moved: "Amanda, are you interested in working under me? I still need an accountant. The monthly salary is favorable."
In the past, the books of income and expenditure were all made by Beta. After Shirley came, it was Shirley who was helping. But Shirley is a powerful divine creature, and she can do many things. Although she is quite qualified to be an accountant, tying her to this position is a waste of her abilities.
Amanda hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shirley with a half-smile, and asked, "Is this accountant responsible for warming your bed?"
hehe! Beta laughed softly when she heard this: "If you are as beautiful as Shirley and have the same figure as her, I can consider it."
Shirley was very happy when she heard Beta's praise, she couldn't see her eyes from laughing, and she clung even tighter.
Amanda felt much more relaxed. She pretended to be 'injured' and said dissatisfiedly: "Your words are really hurtful... But I can ask, besides the usual storage records, what other records does this accountant have? Is there work to do?"
"Record the price changes and quantity changes of the caravan's goods. Find out from them the most profitable business under the current environmental situation." Beta laughed: "How about it, this kind of work is still a bit of a challenge****."
Amanda's eyes lit up.
Although the girl works as an intermediary and errand service, she is actually a businessman. Although she has a little power in the chamber of commerce because of the power behind her, she is not yet qualified to lead a caravan because of her lack of age and her gender.
But if she can become the accountant that Beta said, then she has the ability to decide the right to buy and sell caravan goods one after another. Although it is behind the scenes, it can be regarded as indirectly controlling a caravan. Her wish since she was a child was to build a caravan to travel around and make a lot of money. If she became an accountant, it would be a way to save the country and realize her dream.
"How much is the monthly salary?" The girl asked, pursing her lips.
"The fixed monthly salary is a gold coin." Beta thought for a while and said: "You first record the purchase and shipment records of the caravan for one year, and after one year, you have the right to decide the share and type of goods purchased by the caravan."
"A one-year inspection period?" Amanda nodded: "It's a very cautious approach."
"One year later, you will own 10% of the profits of each shipment of the caravan you are in charge of."
This is Beta's trump card. After hearing this sentence, Amanda was blindfolded. After a while, she gritted her silver teeth and asked, "Are you sure it's 10%?"
"I'm sure I'm sober now." Beta said calmly, "We can sign a contract."
Amanda looked at Beta with a serious face, knowing that the other party was not lying, her lips turned bright red because of excitement: "Okay, I promise you."
"Well then, my dear Miss Accountant, shall we go and see our caravan now?"
"Okay, no problem." Amanda flicked her long hair between her cheeks, and said vigorously: "Now the caravan is ours."
More than ten minutes later, Beta and Amanda came to the chamber of commerce again. Shirley and Jessica were installed by him in the art space of the mansion.
The caravan is in the waiting room on the second floor of the chamber of commerce. The place is very spacious, with rows of black benches neatly arranged, and there are more than 50 people sitting scattered among them, most of them are middle-aged men, but there are two middle-aged men, and there are several who look like they are still young. juvenile.
When the two middle-aged men saw Amanda, they came up to meet them. They also saw Beta, and there was a flash of light in their eyes.
"Miss Amanda, I'm very glad to see you again." One of the middle-aged men with short brown hair gave Amanda a slight salute, and then performed a big courtesy to Beta for a commoner to meet a nobleman, bending very low: " This heroic lord must be the owner of our newly established caravan. My name is Quinton, and I am the head of the caravan. I am very glad to meet you."
"My name is Dulu, and I am the accountant of the caravan. Nice to meet you, my master."
Beta looked at the two middle-aged men in front of him. Their faces were weather-beaten, and they seemed to be very experienced people.
"Let the people of the caravan gather, let's meet, and I have something to announce by the way."
Soon more than fifty people gathered together sparsely, and meeting their expectant and curious eyes, Beta said: "First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Beta-Leon. I am the Lord of the Wetland now. In the future, your The name is 'Wetland Caravan'."
The caravan let out a sound of surprise. They did not expect that the young noble in front of them was actually a lord.
But the two middle-aged men frowned. They knew very well that the wetland was just a swamp. Wouldn't it be a name for the lord of that place
"I think some knowledgeable people know what a wetland is like." Beta smiled and said, "But I have a way to turn it into a fertile plain. Since it is a plain, it must be built there first." A castle. After the establishment of the caravan, two hundred tons of stones must be transported from Harvey City to the wetland every month to ensure the supply of building materials in the wetland."
Quinton and Dulu frowned. If the caravan was only used to transport stones, then they really didn't have much money to take. Moreover, building a castle is not something that can be done in a few months, it will take at least two or three years.
"I don't think it's difficult for you to transport two hundred tons of stone. I think it will take about half a month. For the rest of the time, you can buy and sell freely, and I will not restrict your actions. Moreover, you can buy and sell freely. Thirty percent of the profit will remain in the caravan, and Quinton will decide how to distribute it. The other ten percent will be handed over to Miss Amanda, and the rest will be mine, understand?"
Amanda looked at Beta in shock.
Most people in the caravan don't have much knowledge and computing power, so they don't know much about the statement of 30% profit. But Quinton and Du Lu knew it very well, and they immediately became excited. Quinton even took a step forward and asked excitedly, "Your Excellency, this is true."
"I think I've always been quite generous." Beta said with a smile: "Of course, I won't be too kind to those who break their promises. I'm a spellcaster. If I find out that someone is greedy for funds and concealing profits, the consequences will be severe." Everyone should be able to guess."
Looking at the smiling Beta, everyone felt a chill rise from their backs and rush straight to the back of their heads.
Both Quinton and Dulu bowed their heads deeply.
Beta took out a gold brick from the space, threw it into the hands of the caravan accountant Dulu, and said: "These money is your start-up capital. How many trucks, horses or donkeys you need is up to you. Anyway, after I will no longer provide funds, but will collect profits from you, understand?"
The two bosses of the caravan looked at the gold brick, feeling both shocked and delighted. They have experience and understand that such a gold brick can be exchanged for at least a hundred gold coins. △≧△≧△≧△≧
The start-up capital is 100 gold coins, which is definitely a big deal for a caravan.
"I will send a professional to your place tomorrow to act as the head of the guard. You can rest assured that he will not interfere with your business decisions."
Both Quinton and Dulu nodded. In their opinion, this professional, named protection, was actually monitoring. But this is also normal, all caravans under the command of nobles will have such a person.
A few minutes later, Beta left the chamber of commerce. Amanda walked beside him, hesitated for a long time, and then asked: "Your Excellency, is it too much to give 30% to the caravan and 10% to me? Like this, You only have 60% of the profit."
"Sixty percent profit is enough for me." Beta said flatly: "Money is not difficult for me to earn. What is difficult is a caravan with sufficient autonomy but considerable vitality. I’m willing to pay more.”
"But I don't understand. If a caravan can't make more money for its master, it doesn't have much meaning."
Beta smiled lightly: "I need information. An active caravan running around can bring me a lot of information. And in the future, our caravan will not only be this one. When appropriate, I will increase the number of caravans." number of teams."
