Chapter 80 Business
"Business?" Redno didn't understand Chu Tian's meaning. How could the ancient saint priest do business with his small mercenary group? "Haha, Your Highness, how can we do business with you? Just tell me what you want."
"Praise the Goddess of Life!" Chu Tian said seriously: "How can I take advantage of you? It is not easy for you to work hard to make money. By the way, how much can your mercenary group earn in a year?"
"This..." Like on Earth, the annual income of the mercenary group is their own business secrets. Redno wanted to say it, but Chu Tian's eyeing him would not allow him to do so. "Your Highness, you probably have about one million gold coins."
"One million? So little?" Chu Tian looked very disappointed, but one million was not much for Chu Tian. Now the eldest young master Chu is almost unable to count his income. He smuggled drugs and monsters, monopolized the empire's pharmaceutical industry, and also opened a Warcraft hospital. These things are profitable industries, so Chu Tian really didn't calculate how much he could earn in a year? But what is certain is that it will definitely exceed the number of one million.
"Haha, there are not many, it's hard to make money now for mercenaries." Redno was stunned by Chu Tian's indifferent expression. There were not many people on the mainland who could not take one million gold coins seriously.
"Then how many people are there in your mercenary group, so what's the strength?" Chu Tian continued to ask, "How many advanced monsters are there?"
When he mentioned his mercenary group, Redno immediately became proud. Under his leadership, the Tulong Mercenary Group could develop from a small team of hundreds to one of the three major mercenary groups of the empire. Redno spent a lot of effort here. "Our Tulong Mercenary Group has 30,000 employees, and its headquarters is in Pompeii. And in major countries on the mainland, we have our branches. The main experts include me as the leader, and several level seven masters. In terms of monsters, the most powerful one is my earth demon pet, the eighth-level sub-dragon beast - Earth Dragon..."
"I heard that your mercenary group ranks among the top three in the empire, so how much is it on the continent?" Chu Tian was a little confused. Can such a little strength be called one of the three mercenary groups in the empire?
"It should be around twenty in the continent, right?" Redno said a little sadly. In fact, the lower ranking of the Tulong Mercenary Group in the continent is not a problem of his ability. It is caused by the national policy of the Caesar Empire. Although Caesar valued martial arts, his royal power was concentrated and his civilian force was strictly controlled. Dukes like Chu Tian only had three thousand guards, and even nobles with territory could only recruit private troops below 10,000 people.
All the nobles were treated like this, so you can imagine the restrictions that the mercenary group, such as the mercenary group, was subject to. In fact, the annual income of Redno's Tulong Mercenary Group was far more than one million gold coins. However, in order to maintain the scale of 30,000 people, most of the gold coins they earned were used to clear Caesar's official position.
After understanding the basic situation of the Tulong Mercenary Group. Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and started talking about business, "I want to invest in your Mercenary Group, how about it?"
Praise the goddess of life! Although the empire strictly controls the private force of the nobles. However, those nobles are not pig beasts, so they naturally have to come up with some ways to enhance their strength. Finding agents to form mercenary groups is the best choice. In addition to various professional trade unions, mercenary groups are the only form of civil force allowed by the imperial law, so many mercenary groups in the empire actually have the boss behind the scenes.
Chu Tian has been in the Phantom Beast Continent for a while, so he naturally has some understanding of this situation. He can make money in daily life and fight at critical moments. Chu Tian had long wanted to have such a mercenary group, but he had always been worried that it would arouse the war of Ludi III, so he has not taken action for a long time. But now, the interests of himself and Ludi III have been tied together, so His Majesty will turn a blind eye to the matter of strengthening his strength. After all, the stronger Chu Tiandi's strength, the greater the interests of Ludi III. As long as Chu Tian is not strong enough to threaten the royal family, it is enough.
"Your Highness, do you want to incorporate our Tulong Mercenary Group?" Redno's face changed. Although he knew that the other two mercenary groups in the empire had long become the private armed forces of the nobles. He probably could not escape this fate, but Redno could not accept it by handing over his years of hard work. "Your Highness, I will not agree with this!"
"No, no." Chu Tian shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not an incorporation, it's a cooperation!"
Then, Chu Tian stopped Redno's plan to speak and continued: "I will give you five million gold coins every year, and there are enough monsters and equipment. Moreover, I will not ask about all the management issues of the land. This mercenary group is still yours!"
"What do you want us to do?" Redno was moved. The incorporation was definitely not possible. He had to persist even if he fought to the death. But cooperation could be considered. If the cooperation was successful, Chu Tian gave him something rich, and he also guaranteed his leadership over the mercenary group. If the cooperation was not successful, then there were still thousands of Caesar Iron Cavalry outside his headquarters now!
With the trade-offs on interests, there is only one question left. What does Chu Tian want?
"Tell me the news and help me fight when I need it!" Chu Tian slowly said his conditions, "Of course, I will not let you fight against a country."
"Okay, I agree." Redno couldn't accept it anymore. Chu Tiandi's request was not excessive. It was completely possible for him to do it. Moreover, under the temptation of gold coins and the threat of the iron cavalry, cooperating with Chu Tian was already the best choice for Redno. "Also, we have to give officials and nobles every year..."
"This is easy to deal with," before Redno finished speaking, Chu Tian rushed to say: "From today, as long as you don't threaten the empire, no one will make things difficult for you."
"I need to discuss with the people in the group. Can I give you an answer later?" After all, the mercenary group is not Redno alone, and he still has tens of thousands of members to consider.
"No problem!" Chu Tian signaled that Redno could leave. Looking at Redno's back, Chu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
In fact, Chu Tian’s intention to do something today was just a temporary idea. At the beginning, Chu Tian really wanted to help Xiaobai vent his anger, but he didn’t expect that the situation had developed to this point. He could actually trick a large mercenary group. As for whether Redno would agree, Chu Tian didn’t need to think about it. He agreed, and he would have his support behind the scenes in the future, and he would not lose much. If he disagreed, that was to offend the ancient saint sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sac
Sure enough, Redno came back soon. At the same time, he brought a contract letter, "Your Highness, the members of the group agreed. Look at this contract..."
"Very good!" Chu Tian glanced at the contract, then bit his finger and dripped a few drops of blood on it. "Haha, that's it!"
"Your Highness... your..." Redno's eyes widened, staring at Chu Tian's wounds healed in the blink of an eye. And the golden blood on the contract was so dazzling!
"I know too much, but it's not good for you." Chu Tian shook his head and smiled, "Come on, let's talk about the specific issues of cooperation..." While talking, Chu Tian laughed in his heart, not expecting that the Dragon Emperor's blood could even scare people. Hehe, with the color of my blood, I'm afraid he can make him much loyal!
After everything was finalized with Redno, Chu Tian happily withdrew his troops.
Chu Tian wanted to incorporate the entire Tulong Mercenary Group. However, he knew that this matter should not be urgent, so he could only take it slowly. Now the first step - cooperation has been successful. Next, we have to put some pressure on Redno to let him know what a wise choice it is to rely on him!
As for how to give this pressure? It’s easy to deal with! Let the mercenary groups controlled by the Pampas family compete with the Tulong Mercenary Group for business...
Things are really one after another. Before Chu Tian rested for a few days, another big trouble happened. And this trouble directly threatened Chu Tian’s prestige!
The war horses in the empire are sick again, and this time they are even more serious! Now there are even rumors that the Saint Vladino Saint had not cured the war horses last time, which made the unicorn horse even worse.
But fortunately, the headmaster of the War Horse Camp was a thoughtful person. After Chu Tian cured the War Horse last time, he asked Chu Tian for related questions, so at the first time the situation occurred, he asked someone to isolate the sick war horse, so the condition did not spread on a large scale this time. But this was something Chu Tian couldn't accept! Some people dared to doubt my medical skills? Damn, this is too much!
In the war horse camp in Pompeii, Chu Tian frowned and looked at the war horse in front of him, and beside him was Canas. The war was about to begin. Canas was the only commander of the five commanders of Caesar's army in the imperial capital, so raising and maintaining war preparations was his unshirkable task.
"Fradino, these war horses seem to be very similar to Chi Yan's last time!" said Canas.
"Chi Yan? Was it the time she was injured by the Golden Behemoth? " Chu Tian has always known that Chi Yan was beaten to blood stasis by the Behemoth, but he didn't know the process of the injury.
"It was that time. Although Chi Yan couldn't see anything on his appearance, she said that before the battle, she was like these war horses, and the benefits of weak constitution! That's why she was finally injured by the four Behemoth beasts."
Failed to physical condition? Chu Tian searched all the knowledge in his mind, but he didn't think of what kind of disease could make the lizard weak, and the war horse in front of him also made Chu Tian confused. Although they still seemed to be symptomatic of foot-mouth disease, there was an extra case where foot-mouth disease did not exist - weak limbs.
Although foot-and-mouth disease can make animals weak, it is definitely not as serious as these unicorn horses now! They almost reached the point of quadriplegia! And Chu Tian also had the biggest question in his mind. When Chu Tian was treating war horses, he used the method of treating foot-and-mouth disease. However, foot-and-mouth disease only exists in the animals that divide the hoof. In any case, a round-hoof unicorn horse is absolutely impossible to get foot-and-mouth disease!
