Almighty Alchemist

Word spread quickly that the Dardanelles were throwing a ball for the beautiful Christine.

Although the Dardanelles are almost unknown in the upper circles of Royo City. But they are newcomers. It means that the large amount of money to acquire 60% of the market materials of the trading summit still shocked many people very quickly. The heir of the Dardanelles' almost frenzied courtship of the wealthy Countess Christine means. It quickly became the center of discussion in the city.

This makes the ball of the Dardanelles when those nobles are invited. All of a sudden, the obstacles encountered were much smaller. Many people want to see it. What kind of grandiose will this family that has shown majestic momentum just after landing. How far can the big business they plan go.

There will always be some characters who rise like comets in this world. And fell like a meteor. A family like an upstart like Dardanelle relied on a lot of money to run rampant in the empire. Empire comes up every year. But those who can really take root in the upper class circle. But not many.

Hence the interest in the family. More is not reflected in their business handwriting. It is reflected in the crazy pursuit of the countess by the young heir of the family.

I can tell. The Dardanelles have taken the pursuit of the countess as a shortcut for them to formally enter the upper class. Therefore, Sissadaniel's behavior has won the full support of the family. Otherwise, there would not be a dance like today.

And as the most important guest at the ball. Countess Christine. He also readily accepted the invitation of the Dardanelle family.

accepted the invitation together. And Earl Brooks. Royal Purchase of the Empire of Reims; Earl of Derby Anfleet. Lord of Royo City; Mr. O'Conman Dodge. Vice Chairman of Dodge Firm; Viscount Radour. A series of important figures such as representatives of the Bavarian family.

You must know that the circle of upper-class aristocrats has never been easy to enter. It's not that you are rich. And send an invitation to someone or a family. The other party will definitely go to the appointment to save face.

However, the "top-down" foreign policy jointly formulated by Huey and Houding played a key role at this moment. When the lord of Royo City, Count Derby Anfleet, and Countess Christine expressed that they would attend the grand ball hosted by the Dardanelles. Everything started to look different.

The Dardanelles successfully broke through the first difficulty of entering the upper class of nobles. . Most of the aristocratic families have accepted the ball invitation.

some of. Including a little-known. But power is no small "big man". . The third-level law inspector of the Imperial Legal Affairs Bureau. Commander of Rat Hunt. Jason Raschel. Also entered the list of invitations.

When Raschel got that invitation card. He almost buried his head in the invitation. Read the above invitation verbatim: "The Dardanelles will hold a dance at the Silent Isle Hotel the night after tomorrow. I hope Mr. Jason Raschel can come. This invitation can bring no more than three friends."

"You can bring no more than three friends." Raschel narrowed his eyes. Think for a while. He said: "Go and inform Chuckley. Bailey and Charlie are the three of them. They are going to attend the dance with me the night after tomorrow."

. . . . . . . . . .

two days later. The brilliant lights of the Silent Isle Hotel illuminated Royo City.

The noble carriages from all corners of the city are like countless sharks in the sea. Swim towards the city's most luxurious island.

In the large dance hall that is spacious enough to accommodate hundreds of people. A number of distinguished guests came gradually.

As the patriarch of the Dardanelles. Brian Buckler must welcome every distinguished guest as the host.

"You are welcome, Sir Alexandra Culver. Your presence does honor to the Dardanelles."

"Oh. Hello Mr. Isidora Galli. Nice to see you again."

"Viscount Imogen Lampert. I am overjoyed to have you here."

Accompanied and reminded by Huo Ding. Buckler said such and such compliments to one nobleman after another.

Fortunately for Xiu Yi. Brian Buckler deserves to be a man of the family. Even as a bandit for decades. He still has some unique demeanor of the children of the family. This makes him play the role of the patriarch of the family. Quite a unique charm. He is not as gentle and refined as most nobles. It looks more generous. generosity. wild. He had the air of a truly strong man. And this is what Huey has always been lacking.

someone said. A family style. It is the expression of the patriarch's character. This makes a lot of sense. Houding's positioning for the Dardanelles. It is the nouveau riche family striving for the upper reaches. So go up to the patriarch. Down to the servants. All of them have a fierce temperament. Since this temperament cannot be concealed. Then simply find a reason for its existence. This is the success of Houding's plan. So when many nobles came here. They were also amazed at the strength and aura exuded from the bones of everyone in this sea family from top to bottom.

A member of the Dardanelle family. Even the eyes of the servants are fierce. This is the evaluation of most people. Fortunately, they still couldn't tell the difference between the strength of a sailor and the fierceness of a bandit.

Huey today. Wearing a white dress. The hair was slathered with gardenia oil. A high collar hides his neck. By the way, it also blocked half of his face.

This makes it necessary to observe him from the side. It's a little more difficult.

As an important guest invited tonight. Earl Brooks. Earl Derby Anfleet has arrived ahead of time. However, they did not show up at the venue. Instead, they were gossiping in the small meeting room on the side. Xiu Yi is accompanying. In addition, there is the Dodge firm. Representatives of the Bavarian family and other families who have important business negotiation purposes with Xiu Yi.

"In this way, the business method of installment payment was proposed by Master Dardanelle. This is really surprising. You know, in my opinion, installment payment is actually a disguised form of credit. In the field of materials, credit usually means a huge risk. You must know that the business of materials is no different. Once your alchemy does not reach a certain level, you are likely to waste a lot of good materials. One failure. It is enough to make you lose a lot of money." The questioner was Earl Brooks. Due to the addition of the Dardanelle family. Earl Brooks tried to threaten the bankruptcy of the major trading houses by reducing the demand for materials. Including Christine turned into the arms of others. This made the earl quite resentful. If Earl Derby Anfleet is the lord of the city. He participated in this ball as a beneficiary of the Dardanelle family's transaction. So to Earl Brooks. He is the complete loser. is a victim. His purpose in coming to the ball was not to cheer. It's more about looking for opportunities to smash the field.

Especially when Christine told him clearly. I will not sell the material to him. Instead, it was sold to the Dardanelles. This made him even more furious.

certainly. He didn't know that Xiu Yi had specially ordered Christine to do this.

Hearing Brooks ask him this moment. Huey laughed: "But the profit return after success is also huge."

Brooks immediately said: "Can I think so. The Dardanelles can't actually spend so much money to buy materials. You are playing a trick that we usually call a 'trap'. You cheat other people's materials into your own hands with a small sum of money. Then you process and produce them. Use the money you sell to pay for the materials. Oh. Maybe I shouldn't use the word 'cheat'. But the fact is that your behavior is indeed similar to this."

"I'm sorry I don't think so. Earl Brooks. In my opinion. This is a basic need for business turnover. We all know that money itself does not have any meaning. Why a few simple paper bills. Some shiny metals. Can be exchanged for various supplies needed for human survival. In exchange for various labor. Exchange. And through this exchange, to maximize the contribution and return of human beings. Therefore, it is an important trading tool. But it is just a tool." Xiu Yidao.

"What does that mean?" Earl Brooks didn't understand why Xiu wanted to explain the meaning of money.

In fact, it is indeed difficult for people in this era to understand the true meaning of the existence of money.

of all those present. None were bankers. The nature of early money houses in feudal society. Still stuck in the earliest valet money keeping business. For customers who deposit money with the bank. Instead of giving interest. Instead, a storage fee is charged.

Therefore, many people do not understand the true meaning and value of money. That's why Xiu Yi wants to tell everyone about the meaning of money first. In all honesty. Just based on what he said at this moment. It was enough to make everyone look at him with admiration. Even Mr. Dodge, the vice chairman who has been engaged in business operations for many years. I have never heard anyone put forward such a "profound" view on the relationship between finance and operation.

The wisdom of people in the feudal era was not low. But their knowledge is obviously much worse. As the earliest merchants. When a transaction that was originally simple in nature gradually evolved into a transaction in the nature of investment. What they need to consider is actually much simpler than most professional investors.

in this case. The trend of the topic was gradually controlled by Xiu Yi.

Huey said slowly: "So things like money are just a certificate. A basic certificate. We can give money the heavy responsibility of completing the circulation of goods. We can also give some other forms of things the same heavy responsibility. The reason why money exists is because it is easy to carry. Resources are limited. Easy to control. If we have something that is more portable, has fewer resources and is easier to control. And agree on it. Then they will become a better transaction substitute than money. I mean. Why can't we take a longer-term view. See some ordinary people can't see What about things. We can go beyond the scope of money transactions. Conduct higher-level transactions.”

Viscount Ladour said: "What is more portable than money itself. It is more limited in resources. It is more resonant and willing to bet on it."

"Of course. And there are many." Huey replied immediately: "Isn't the credit of the Bavaria family valuable? Isn't the credit of Dodge Trading Company valuable. Don't tell me that you don't know the value of your own credit. Everyone who can sit here is a big shot with many years of business experience."

Earl Brooks thought he had found the point of attack: "But the credit of the Dardanelles. It's not worth it. Before you came to this city. No one here even knows who you are."

"We have something better than that." Xiu Yi took out the scout bee casually: "Excellent alchemist. Top alchemy technology. And the huge profits that come with it. I believe many people understand. What an excellent alchemist means to everyone."

Huey knows one thing. As an early venture investor. Usually they only care about two things: 1. the size of the risk. two. The ratio of input to output.

The former is reassurance. The latter is Erotic San. As Houlding puts it: a brilliant hoax. First of all, you need a bait that is enough to seduce people's hearts. Then just give him a reassurance.

As long as these two conditions are met. Then the easiest one. An installment payment agreement with a strong speculative color can be easily reached.

This is the most important part of the initial stage of capital accumulation. . Borrow the chicken to lay the egg.

So when Xiu Yi took out the scout bee. Every businessman with an eye for business is aware of that. On the two basic foundations of venture capital construction conditions. The Dardanelles indeed already owned one and a half crucial components of the entire investment plan. . Industrial plan with investment vision.

Everything was as Huey expected. Brooks did not intend to argue with Huey on the technical issues of alchemy and whether scout bees could produce such huge profits and consume such huge materials.

In his opinion. The Dardanelle family wants to complete this empty-handed white wolf deal. Credit issues are the biggest obstacle. There is absolutely no need for him to expend energy in other areas. So he snorted coldly: "Even if the Dardanelles have some excellent alchemy techniques, it doesn't mean that you have enough credit. You must know that this involves millions of dollars in huge property."

"That is to say. At least you yourself recognize the technical strength of the Dardanelles." Xiu Yi took time off. Continue to set the opponent in a calm manner.

"So what." Brooks replied bluntly: "The Dardanelles have no property in Royo City. You are newcomers. You lack sufficient guarantees. If you screw up. Maybe I can put it more harshly. If you take the goods and run away. Then what to do."

Xiu Yi laughed.

He looked at the people present: "I think this should be the common opinion of everyone, right? Such a large transaction requires sufficient collateral or credit support. Then I would like to ask other than that. Do you have any doubts about other aspects?"

Mr. Dodge, the vice chairman from Dodge Firm, thought about it. He said to Xiu Yi: "If you can solve this problem, then I don't think other problems will be a problem."

Viscount Ladour also immediately stated: "That's right. The support of credit cannot be established in a day or two. Your scout bee technology is good. We also believe that it can make a lot of money. Even the price you promised us is quite reasonable. But you must prove that you have the capital that we can trust."

Earl Derby Anfleet said: "As the owner of Royo City, I very much hope that this transaction will be successful. I believe that everyone has absolutely no doubts about it. But I have to say one thing. Brooks' doubts about the Dardanelles are not unreasonable. Of course. As the owner of the city, I can provide some help. If the Dardanelles can purchase property in Royo City, then how much you bought. We will guarantee you how much."

Earl Brooks sneered: "More than six million Kingwitt property purchases. I don't think the Dardanelles have this strength."

Xiu Yi smiled and looked at everyone: "Very good. It seems that we have found the focus of the problem. Then maybe I can invite everyone to take a look at this thing."

talking. Xiu Yi took out a few pieces of paper and put them in front of the stage.

Earl Brooks curiously picked up one and glanced at it. Then his face changed immediately.

"Christine. How is this possible."

"Nothing is impossible. Sir Earl Brooks. The Dardanelles have already purchased all of Mrs. Christine's property in Royo City. It is worth about 1.5 million gold verts. In addition, we will work with Mrs. Christine to develop and produce a total of twelve alchemy products, including scout bees. It can be said that this is a thorough and comprehensive cooperation between the Dardanelles and his wife. Christine herself will provide a guarantee worth 3 million gold verts.

The promise of the Lord of Anfleet. Royo City will also provide us with a guarantee of 1,500,000 Guinwitts. The Dardanelles themselves will guarantee the remaining 900,000 Gold Witts with the technology of the three alchemy products. Upfront payment of 600,000 gold Wittes. The remaining payment will be paid in nine monthly installments. This is a comprehensive agreement. Gentlemen, you might as well take a look."

"But...how is this possible. Why did Mrs. Christine make such a huge guarantee for you." No one could imagine.

"Love is an eternal charm. It can break through the limit of money." Xiu Yi raised his glass and toasted everyone: "Madam is in the next room right now. If anyone doesn't believe it, you can ask her yourself."

This question shocked everyone's heart. It was as if the royal buyer had been kicked hard. His face turned blue. I could barely catch my breath.

"After reading it. If there is no problem, why don't you just sign it." Xiu Yi said lightly.

Several family representatives and business representatives were taken aback.

"Sign. We haven't agreed to the deal yet," someone shouted.

Xiu Yi's face immediately darkened: "What are you talking about? Are you joking about the Dardanelles? We have repeatedly negotiated and negotiated about this transaction three days ago. Regarding the credit issue you are worried about. Do you know how much effort I have spent to resolve it. In order for Mrs. Christine to agree to guarantee the credit of the Dardanelles. Do you know what I paid. What the hell. Now the credit issue we asked for has been resolved. You want to say that you have not agreed to this transaction."

"This..." Several businessmen looked at each other. The vice-chairman of the Dodge firm wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master Sissard Daniel. I'm sorry for our previous attitude towards this transaction. In fact, it was indeed inappropriate. But installment payment is not enough to just solve the credit problem. You know a large transaction like this. Once there is a long-term money transaction, it means that a fixed transaction link has been established. And for some fixed, long-term business customers. Especially such as alchemy materials, which have a certain degree of national power Affected business. Follow the rules. Before choosing a fixed major customer. We must first have a sufficient understanding of them. Even local reports must be made..."

Xiu Yi's eyes turned cold. Mr. Dodge had never seen such a terrible look in the young man's eyes. He actually had a feeling that he couldn't go on.

Xiu Yi took a sip of wine slowly. Then he said coldly: "That is to say. You have found a new excuse to refuse the transaction, right? When I thought that the few of you were doing business with me sincerely, you were actually teasing me. Right. If I sort out my family background information and hand it over to everyone to prove my family's sincerity, will you have any new reason to refuse me. Then continue to insist on clearing money and goods."

"This..." Everyone was speechless.

"Oh. My God. You guys tricked me." Huey's expression was very angry: "I thought I was doing business with a bunch of legitimate businessmen. But the fact is not. In fact, you not only tricked me. You even tricked Lord Amphlet. I guess he would never have thought that the result would be like this."

A group of people looked at Earl Amphlet, the lord of Royo City, at the same time.

The Earl's face was indeed ugly.

to him. The Dardanelles have indeed expressed their full intentions. On the contrary, the actions of these businessmen were too shameless. If they are not willing to accept payment in installments. They should be straight from the start. Instead of deliberately making things difficult for the other party's credit problems. Until the other party solves this problem. Say sorry again.

Vice Chairman Dodge said hastily: "We just want to settle the matter more carefully."

"It's just a business transaction. How cautious are you guys? Let me invite the Emperor of the Empire to guarantee me." Xiuyi pointed to the contract on the table with a sneer and said, "The strength of the Dardanelles is here now. Whether it's technology, capital, or credit guarantor, it's all obvious. All the prerequisites. When I proposed it, you didn't have any objections at all. Since the problem has been resolved, why bring it up for renegotiation. As for the local report. Sir Earl Amphlet. What do you think This question."

"Well... Royo City can accept the local report of the Dardanelle family's material transactions." The city owner felt like he was being driven out of the market. So much so that he had to ignore some necessary procedures for reporting.

"Then it's all right." Xiu Yi spread her hands.

"But……"

"It's still there. It seems that your previous doubts and attacks on the credit of the Dardanelles were all used to amuse us. This is really surprising. After the Dardanelles have made such a clear response and proof, it turns out that your credit is worthless." Xiuyi looked angry at being "played" by someone.

This sentence made Viscount Ladour a little embarrassed. He hastily said: "No. Since Mrs. Christine guarantees it, the Dardanelle family has sufficient industrial certificates and technical capabilities. On behalf of the Bavarian family, I am willing to sign this agreement with you. The Dardanelle family will buy all our materials and pay for the goods in ten months."

"Very good." Xiu Yi nodded in satisfaction.

Earl Brooks sat there with a dead face.

In fact he had nothing to say. He hasn't realized it yet. on this deal. In fact, he has completely become Xiu Yiglaier's accomplice. It was his doubts about the credibility of the Dardanelles. This made everyone fall into Xiu Yi's trap unknowingly.

The only one who is aware of this. Perhaps it was Mr. Dodge.

Maybe it's a businessman's intuition. Today's deal seemed to him the most outlandish one he had ever experienced. Installments like never before. The transaction situation is decided on the spot. Kristin's guarantee. And the teenage heir is unflappable. Step-by-step posture techniques. All of them coincide with some kind of wonderful rhythm. Even the last vicious performance of the little heir. They all carry a hint of conspiracy.

Dodge Vice Chairman suddenly remembered one thing: why such a major deal. It wasn't the family patriarch who came to talk to them. And it has always been carried out by this little heir.

Even all the details. negotiation. Credit establishment. All done by the little heir himself.

by contrast. The patriarch who founded this family...Mr. Dodge looked into the distance. He is receiving guests at the door.

He looked more like a proper usher.

A strange feeling faintly rose in Dodge's heart. He felt the boy in front of him. He is the true leader of the Dardanelles.

It is not easy for the young heir of this family.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The conversation in the small drawing room was still going on.

Regardless of the fact that there is no suspense.

The reputation of the family and the firm is above all else. Although no one planned to accept installment payment at the beginning. But they promised after all. If the Dardanelle family can come up with enough guarantees. Let the transaction proceed according to the wishes of the Dardanelle family.

So Huey easily completed the first step of his desired plan. This plan made him possess a large number of alchemy materials justifiably. At the same time, it also allowed the Dardanelle family to successfully enter the upper-class social circle.

But for Xiu Yi and others. There is another crucial benefit to the deal. It is through installment payment. They bind the interests of all nobles together.

Such transactions will continue to occur in the future.

When the Lance Empire discovered the truth one day. They will be horrified to find out. The existence of the Dardanelle family. It has already established one or another bond of interest with too many important families in the empire. Form a tight bond of interests.

This bond of interest will ensure that the Dardanelles will have unimpeded access in the days to come. Do many things that they could not do otherwise.

Even if one day the Lance Empire discovers the truth. They too will be horrified to find out. Their opponents have infiltrated every level of the country. Even if they eliminated Xiu Yiglaier. Eliminated the Dardanelles. It will also bring great disaster to oneself.

certainly. This is just a blueprint that Xiu Yi arranged for the plan. As for now. This is just the beginning.

Seeing that family representatives and business representatives signed the contract. Xiuyi drank the wine in the glass comfortably.

Lilith came behind him and said:

"Raschel is here."
