Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1024 1006. Cooperation

"It's such a shame."

Vimo Vivaldi didn't bother, he just sighed with regret, put on his glasses again, and picked up the money order.

After confirming the authenticity and amount according to the bank's rules, file the records.

At this point, the financial handover is complete. The capital chain that was originally in jeopardy was able to run again because of the capital injection from this money order.

But when everything was settled and he was about to leave, Dudu suddenly raised his hand to the dwarf banker again.

"Wait a minute, old Vimo."

Both the dwarf and the witcher turned to look at the halfling.

Dudu's eyes were serious and wise at this time. Once he started to enter the state of business operation, his performance was more than a bit smarter than when he dressed up as Dandelion to chase Priscilla.

“Can you write me another cashier’s check?”

The halfling said calmly, but Vimo Vivaldi blinked.

"If I remember correctly," the dwarf's big buttocks that had been raised two inches from the chair fell back down.

"Dudu, you still have an unredeemed cashier's check, left over from the last business deal. And now, you have just taken over a large property, and you want to issue another one?"

"Not only am I going to open another one, but the amount is three times the last one."

"Please let me confirm, if I remember correctly" Vimo Vivaldi looked at the confident Dudu in surprise. "Your last cashier's check that has not yet been redeemed, the amount I issued to you was five thousand crowns."

"Yes, your memory is as good as ever." Dudu patted the thick scroll in the palm of his hand and said casually. "You said you admired me so much that you were willing to give me a cashier's check for five thousand crowns without even asking for collateral."

The dwarf banker quickly added: "But my appreciation for you, converted into a price, is five thousand crowns. If it were your cousin Dandy Bibwit, it would be three thousand at most."

"So this time, you don't have to appreciate me. You just appreciate him."

The scroll in Dudu's hand was rolled into a stick shape and pointed at Lan En.

"It's inconvenient to say too much, but just answer me, is your appreciation for him worth fifteen thousand?"

"It's worth it," the banker said dryly, "You have to sign."

"Then if he doesn't sign, is the plan he proposed worth fifteen thousand?"

"It's worth it." Wei Mo said blankly again. "I want a plan."

"You can't sign or leave a plan." Dudu patted his chest unceremoniously, or rather arrogantly, and pointed at Lan En.

"I'll join him. Is the first business we do as a partnership worth fifteen thousand?"

Vimo Vivaldi opened his mouth but couldn't speak for a long time. He just turned his gold-rimmed glasses over and over in his hands.

He looked at Dudu as if he had just met this old friend.

"Your Excellency, do it to the end."

Aren't you so proud after working with a big shot?

At this time, Lan En also reacted to the initial accident.

He immediately understood Dudu’s business plan.

Dandelion's script is in full swing, but the fundamental purpose of creating this script is actually to sell goods.

Sellan En envisioned an alchemy cloak that would make the wearer look taller and stronger.

The requirements for this cloak are very simple, and it is expected that it will not be difficult to make it with alchemy.

But for mass production, you have to have a factory or a workshop anyway.

The scene of selling goods has not yet started, but Dudu, as a professional manager, has already thought about building the production plant first.

This is the quality that a qualified, smart and keen businessman should have.

Although he knew about the plan less than three days ago, he was able to advance the plan in an orderly manner even if it was a temporary move.

So Lan En also sat down again and expressed his support for his plan as a professional manager.

Seeing Vimo Vivaldi's stunned look, Dudu already knew his answer, so he started talking about business in an orderly manner.

Banks are not only places where deposits and loans are made, but also where many industries and resources are connected.

He knew that this plan was too late and there was not enough time for planning, so it was even more important to pool resources.

Dudu now only thought that he had 20,000 crowns in his pocket, and began to make demands on the dwarf banker as a customer.

"First of all, I need to rent a factory in Biz District, preferably not far from the various tailor shops where labor is cheap. Then contact me with technicians from the Printing and Dyeing Guild. I need a master who is knowledgeable in printing, dyeing and pattern styles. .besides."

A series of requests were raised, and Vimo Vivaldi reacted for a while before quickly tugging on the lanyard hanging above the table.

There was a ringing sound outside the office, and then a short guy wearing a green hat and rabbit fur coat pushed the door in, stood directly at the table and started recording.

"What is this? A young dwarf?"

Lan En was a little surprised. He had never seen such a thin and beardless dwarf.

"This is a young dwarf. You don't have to tell the difference so clearly. Just go on, Dudu."

Wei Mo is now in a state of discussing business, and only takes the time to mention Lan En's problems, which makes the progress faster.

It only took them ten minutes to discuss all matters.

The bank's resources and connections were fully revealed. Vivaldi Bank has influence in various guilds in Novigrad. Dudu's requirements were easily met and the price was fair.

——

The business negotiation with Vivaldi Bank went very smoothly. Dudu made full use of the other party's resources, and all the expenses in the process were promissory notes.

It was a promissory note issued by Vivaldi Bank with no collateral conditions, which was equivalent to talking about the business with empty words.

"You have a lot of assets, but now they are basically equity and fixed assets, and you don't have much liquidity. And since you are doing business, you can transfer the risk, so why do you have to bear it yourself?"

Dudu explained to Lan En familiarly.

But he can only go so far in business operations. Whether the final plan will come true depends on Dandelion's drama and the alchemy cloak itself, these execution-level factors.

"I'm more optimistic about it."

Lan En said with a chuckle.

After Dudu returned to the hotel, Lan En went straight to the outside of the city.

Along the way, he could feel many people peeking at him secretly.

Most of these people should be spies, spies or something. From the moment he entered Novigrad, there were basically people like this when he went out.

But it doesn't matter, soon these people will not recognize his size.

The closer we get to the outside of the city, the worse the road conditions in Novigrad become.

The solid stone brick floor turned into a dirt road, and due to people's lives, sewage, laundry water, buckets, livestock and human excrement

The dirt road turned into dirty mud again.

Gang members swaggered down the street, their appearance in groups and their naked tattoos made them look very difficult to deal with.

There also seems to be a gang of all dwarves in Novigrad, and Lann always gets glares when he passes by them.

It seemed like his height pissed off the dwarf gang.

These people cursed loudly.

"Yes, yes, everything bad is done by us dwarves. Snow White is the result of dwarves. Are you satisfied? Look at your mother, I will slap you again!"

These hordes of dwarf gangs responded directly and violently to racial discrimination in Novigrad.

Of course, ordinary people in Novigrad can't help the organized and vicious gangs, but it is foreseeable that this resentment will be spread on other inhuman races.

Lan En walked in the village outside the city, all the way to the house rented by Kalkestein and Shani.

Triss is there now, and they are working together on alchemy.

"You came."

Shani opened the door and welcomed Lan En in with a smile.

The house is now in much better condition than before. After Lan En found Dudu, gangs and banks were no longer a problem, so they could spend money without worrying about getting into trouble.

Kalkistan's equipment is still operating nearby, but more places are covered with cloth, threads, patches and other things.

The alchemy master who looks a bit like an ape and the beautiful red-haired sorceress are carefully analyzing a large piece of cloth.

Only Shani can't get involved.

"If you study at Oxenford in the future, I think you should dabble in alchemy."

Lan En suggested to Shani while ducking into the doorway.

"It seems that high-end medical treatment is inseparable from magic and alchemy."

Shani pursed her lips: "I know that too, but this is a bit rebellious in Oxenford."

Although Oxenfurt University is the highest institution of higher education in the north, it is famous for its pursuit of knowledge and open thinking.

But it actually has its own rules and customs.

This group of scholars without magical abilities were excluded by the mage when he gained a lot of knowledge ahead of time through magic.

It's like the crystal cultivation project in Lan En's hand can be customized for organs, but non-magical medical methods have developed in small kingdoms in remote areas, and bloodletting is even popular.

The fragmentation and exclusion of academia and research circles is evident.

So the mage didn't let mortals play with him, and the mortal universities naturally began to exclude the mage.

Oxenford prides himself on using rational thinking to explore the world, while magic is labeled 'superstitious and crazy' by their overall ethos.

Oxenfurt had occult subjects, but they were not taken seriously.

At Oxenfurt, talented students had the advantage of the principal and teachers, and sleeping with their mistresses was no big deal.

It might even be a romantic story worth bragging about.

However, if you want to indulge in magical knowledge, there is no penalty, but everyone will generally judge you as "unreasonable and useless".

"It is right to study medicine, Shani. Milo Van Der Beek is a good teacher. He uses his halfling's flexibility in the field of surgery with superb skills. I have read his papers."

"But alchemy doesn't have to be learned in college. You have already established a good relationship with Master Kalkstein and me. This can all help you."

Lan En patted the newly admitted medical student on the shoulder as an encouragement.
