Chapter 29 Installment Payment(1/2)
Before Christine woke up in the morning, the maid was already screaming outside:
"Oh, madam, look!"
"What happened, Jenny? You're so fussy. Has the sky fallen?" Christine opened her sleepy eyes and looked at her maid dissatisfiedly.
Shuiglare was right. After being poisoned by him, she suffered from insomnia last night and did not fall asleep until the early morning. But she was not sure whether it was the effect of the drug or the result of being too stimulated last night.
"Oh, no, no, madam, I'm sorry for my rudeness just now, but I still have to say... that's simply amazing, you'd better look out the window." The maid said to Christine with a red face.
Christine rolled over and rushed to the window.
Then she saw that on the square of the Silent Island Hotel, tens of thousands of lovers filled the entire square. They formed a big heart shape, and thousands of candles lit up among the flowers, forming a beautiful red ocean.
Shuiglare stood in the middle of the sea of flowers, holding a large bouquet of millennium flowers in his hand, looking up at Christine below, smiling at her.
"Oh my god, he's crazy!" Christine exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands.
Lover tears represent love, and thousand-year-old flowers represent eternity. It is extremely normal for nobles to use these two flowers to pursue the girl they like. However, it is never before that to use tens of thousands of flowers to show love and openly show it on the street.
Romance requires a social environment. Although the atmosphere of the Lance Empire is open, it is unprecedented in luxury and shameless.
Although it is a trick that has been used to be a big street in the 21st century, the more it is used to be a big street, the more it means that the effect is excellent.
It turns out that no woman can resist such courtship, and even if she doesn't like this man, she will never be disgusted with this behavior.
As for Soui, Christine didn't even have the possibility of rejection.
She shouted, "Hurry, let him come up. Oh my god, I haven't washed my face yet. Don't bring him in, let him wait for me in the living room."
The maid ran out quickly.
Half an hour later, Christine finally put on her makeup. At this moment, she was dressed in a charming manner and charming manner.
"I hope I haven't asked you to wait too long." Christine apologized.
"In fact, your efficiency is already very high in terms of makeup speed." Xiu Yi smiled. The thousand-year-old flowers he brought have been properly preserved in the vase. As long as this kind of flowers has sufficient moisture, they can bloom and maintain their beauty for a considerable period of time.
Let the maid go down, Christine came to Xiuyi's side: "Are you crazy? You bought so many flowers? There is no need to do that." After thinking about it, she bit her lip and said: "Anyway, according to your plan, as long as you need it, I will invite you to spend the night in my room anytime and anywhere."
"But at least let everyone understand why that is."
"Very good, this time you did give the whole city a reasonable reason. I guess this afternoon, everyone will know that Siser Dardanell, a newly emerged family heir, is conquering Christine with crazy big moves."
"And it will be a big success soon." Shuyi smiled and took Christine's arm.
“Just on the surface.”
"That's right, so I'm sorry to tell you something."
"What?"
"Those bills will be sent directly to your house."
"Oh! Shue Glair, you bastard!" Christine kicked him angrily.
Xiu Yi smiled and forced her to take this, without any resistance.
Christine was slightly stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly realized that she was threatened and controlled by Xiu Yi, but her performance did not seem to be like being forced.
"Oh...I'm sorry." She was a little panicked.
"There is no need for that." Xiu Yi smiled and said, "You can rest assured that as long as you keep touching, you will soon find that most of the time, I am still approachable."
"I hope so." Christine muttered, "So, what should I do next?"
"How about going to the garden? Just talk about something and enhance some understanding and feelings. At noon, I will have lunch with the vice chairman of Dodge Trading Company, and in the afternoon I will discuss business matters with some other people. I hope you can spend the day with me."
"Well, Earl Brooks hopes I can have lunch with him, and now it seems I can only refuse." Christine said helplessly. She was surprised that her heart was not really resistant to this.
"So you must thank those flowers, which make the public think that you are moved by my loyalty, so you are particularly rewarded for me for a day."
"What about tomorrow?"
"Believe me, Miss Christine, romance is an endless existence. As long as you have the heart, surprises will come knocking on the door every day." Xiu Yi smiled confidently.
— Walking shoulder to shoulder with Shuyi on the garden path of the Silent Island Hotel, Christine felt a little weird.
Logically speaking, she should be afraid when walking with someone like Xiu Yi, but for some reason, she found that she was not really afraid. In fact, she even had a little excitement in her heart.
There was a vague feeling of excitement.
Just think about how I and Shuiglare were able to live from the majestic boy in the Lanya Grand Theater until now, even strolling side by side with each other, and I felt a little proud in my heart.
Especially after she grasped the other party's secrets, but the other party did not choose to kill her and even agreed to eliminate the troubles that caused her to have a headache, she became more and more proud.
It seems that this young man is not that scary. On the contrary, as he said, he is quite cute when he is not murdering.
And he doesn't seem like a person who kills innocent people.
"I always thought that demons didn't understand romance." Christine exclaimed.
"That's because you don't understand the demons." Xiu Yi replied with a smile: "In fact, demons are not terrible fangs and sharp claws, but all kinds of beautiful means to seduce. Demons make people fall and addicted, so they know very well how to bring people a beautiful enjoyment and let people voluntarily fall into the arms of the demons. Romance is just one of the ways. This is entirely because you are a woman and a beautiful woman, so if I use this method to win your joy. But if you are someone else, then the demon will use other methods to please you. Changing to the wind is the secret to the demon's success."
"Is that right? Then is every demon as knowledgeable as you? It requires considerable knowledge and insight."
"In fact, demons are indeed knowledgeable. In order to lead people to depravity, demons must learn a lot and be good at communicating with different people. They must be able to talk about inventions to alchemists, international situations to politicians, art appreciation at art exhibitions, cooking at drinks, and clothing at ladies. Not only that, they sometimes have to talk about politics to alchemists and scholars about literature and art, because they don't know anything, so they are happy to let them pick up some wisdom. There is no need to choose any good songs for the piano played by cows! Ha!" Christine smiled with her lips: "This is the most interesting description of the demon I have ever heard."
Xiu Yi said seriously: "As a demon, you must have the spirit of progress and be able to roll forward with the 'giant wheel of the times'."
Christine smiled and closed her eyes: "Oh, my god, I finally understand why you can survive in Purgatory Island for so long, because you are the little villain who cheated people for death. No matter how terrible it is, it can turn into a portion of honey in your mouth. It's hard to imagine that you were killing people crazy when I first saw you, and yesterday, I was scared to death by you. As for now, there is even the poison you gave me in my body, but when I face you, I can still laugh and laugh so happily. Oh, the gods are above, this is simply incredible. You are indeed a demon who is good at playing with people's hearts. And as you said, a knowledgeable demon."
Shuyi stared at Christine seriously.
He did not touch on her topic, but frowned slightly: "Please forgive me, if I heard it correctly, you just used the word Purgatory Island? I mean... do you know the existence of Purgatory Island?"
"I only know a part of it." Christine shrugged: "Now this secret is getting less and less secret. Oh, I only heard it from Count Brooks. I think that's why I'm not so afraid of you, because I know you're not a real demon."
"So that's the case. It seems that I underestimated your energy. Even if more and more people know this secret, no one can grasp it. So why did Count Brooks tell you such a major secret? Isn't he afraid of losing his head?"
"Oh, don't you know I have an industry in material management?" Christine looked at Sooey in surprise: "Or why do you think I would be with that old bastard of Count Brooks? He announced at the beginning of this month that he would reduce the acquisition volume by 80%. Hateful bastard, how do you think I have collected? He wants me to accompany him, and then he promised to acquire the materials in my hand. This incident caused me a great headache. In fact, I am ready to bear a loss. You must know that my hand
There are no excellent alchemists on the scene. Those are precious materials. It is a shameful waste to hand them over to ordinary alchemists. I try my best to know why the Empire needs to reduce the amount of materials needed. I must know whether this reduction will be occasionally or in the future, so that I can make the right choice in my future business. In order to achieve the goal of having me for a long time, Brooks told me this secret. He wanted to threaten me! Then I realized that this is still related to you, and it is all because of you!"
"So that's it." Xiu Yi nodded: "This is really interesting. Maybe I can help you solve this problem. I mean, you seem to have forgotten one thing. I am an alchemist. I mean that in terms of alchemy, I am confident that I can still bear the evaluation of the word "excellent".
A glimmer of excitement appeared in Christine's eyes: "Oh my god, are you trying to tell me that you can eat my ingredients?"
"The problem is that I don't have that much money." Xiu Yi replied without blushing: "But if you give me time, I can help you process them all into finished products and then sell them. Trust me, you can earn more than selling materials, and don't worry about preservation."
"That's the best." Christine was excited. From the Earl of Brooks, she fully understood Shuyi's level of alchemy, and the battle at Lanya Theatre proved this.
"But as a condition, I need you to help me acquire other materials." Xiu Yi said.
Christine understood a little: "Do you want me to help you complete the first bulk transaction of the Dardanelles family? And... you actually don't have that much money."
"Just the money from the Silent Island Hotel is about to break our bankruptcy." Xiu Yi said with no shame.
"How much material are you planning to buy?"
"Earl Brooks gave up 80% of the material acquisition, and I will eat 60% of it. What do you think?"
"That would cost about six million Jinweit, that's not a small amount. Even I can't take out so much money at once."
"Don't worry about this problem. You should know that there are many ways to do business. Many times we don't have to do as much as we have. Right?"
Christine's eyes rolled: "You mean...indebt?"
"To be precise, it is an installment payment. I intend to implement a new payment method. Buyers use credit as capital to get large amounts of goods in advance, and then use this batch of goods as collateral and later profit chips. After making enough money, make late payments."
“Sounds fresh.”
"A method of using small to fight for big things and expand rapidly. Of course, if I acquire less, the financial resources of the Dardanelles family will be doubtful. But if I acquire more, the huge financial pressure will make installment payments legitimate. After all, there are not many families in the entire empire that can easily take out a huge sum of 6 million. In addition, since I only acquire 60%, this creates a material sales gap of up to 20%, which will put sales pressure on many merchants, and so
We have given us the bargaining chips. Before that, we have to establish a deposit system to dispel everyone's doubts. After all, my purpose is not to cheat money. So I don't need millions of Jinweit. As long as I give me 600,000, I can make this money worth ten times. I mean, I plan to eat this batch of goods at a price of one tenth, and then pay off one tenth of the payment for the next month, and complete the annexation of this batch of goods within one year. What do you think?"
I have to say that Xiu Yi's plan also surprised Christine. The young man was careful and could even think of this method. Even in business, he showed extraordinary talent.
It just involves such a huge amount, and the creativity of one or two geniuses cannot solve the problem.
Even the six hundred thousand gold Vite was not a small amount, and Christine couldn't help but hesitate.
She thought repeatedly and began to think about some of the details in Xiuyi's plan. Then she hesitated: "So how do you plan to process those materials? You must know that these materials are too many to pile up into mountains. Are you alone?"
Xiu Yi smiled confidently on his face: "Even when he was engaged in mass production and continuously supplying the logistics personnel of a national armed force on the island of Purgatory, there were only a few ten apprentices. Even so, I still have enough time to do other things. Alchemists have never thought that the materials were not enough, so how could the alchemists use up the mountains of materials? In this regard, you don't have to worry at all, Mrs. Christine."
Christine shrugged: "Well, I can give you six hundred thousand gold Vites, which is my current limit. You have to know that most of my money is in the flow, so what?"
"The establishment of a credit system takes time, and what the Dardanelles lacks is time. So the best way is to have a guarantor to ensure the reputation and credit of the Dardanelles."
"You asked me to be your family guarantor? Oh my god, if you fail, I'm done!"
Shuyi bowed deeply to Christine: "Dear Madam, your fate has changed since the moment you met me last night. The only thing you can expect now is that I will never fail." Christine sighed helplessly.
She found that she had completely lost in the confrontation between herself and this young man.
She once thought she could take the opportunity to threaten Hui Yiglair, but she was dragged onto her own chariot step by step.
This young man was only sixteen years old, but his mature speech was not as childish as he should have when he was sixteen. His thinking was comprehensive, in-depth, and every step of the way made it difficult for him to prevent. He was cunning, fierce, decisive, and... he was very thick-skinned.
As things have developed to this point, Christine finally has no choice but to realize the fact that dominance has completely fallen into the control of Xiuyi.
"Even so, they may not agree to this trading method. You should know that they also need cash. Your trading method means taking all their money into your hands."
"Don't worry about this issue, I naturally have a way to ask them to agree."
