My players are so fierce

Chapter 1233 1231. Hobby·Brother Crow’s special illness

"The scenery of Ptolemaic City is really worth seeing. It's like a wonderful trip. I took a break from my busy schedule to fully experience the wonderful exotic customs. It's a pity that I can't go around the pyramids of Hades because I am busy with worldly affairs. .

There is also the legendary Great Library of Issus, which is said to contain many out-of-print classics. Unfortunately, there is no way to enter it due to maintenance, but it doesn't matter. I should be able to come back several times when I have free time.

This desert and the history buried under the thousand-year-old sand are really fascinating. "

On the "express airship" returning to Transia from Port Chardeau, in the VIP room, Brother Crow, dressed in traveler's attire, put down the yogurt and fruit cup in his hand.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then sighed and picked up the book at hand and continued reading.

This is a book he bought from the Songhai people when he attended the coronation ceremony of Her Majesty Fulier and the subsequent carnival. It is not a profound knowledge, it is just a history book or a travel book that records the customs and customs of the sand sea for thousands of years. Some.

However, because Brother Crow bought the hardcover version, this booklet contains some rather obscure stories, which often require thinking to draw conclusions.

But for him, this kind of superficial thinking is equivalent to relaxing in his spare time.

Unlike most lazy ones, he likes the feeling of his brain spinning. It is alive and makes him feel alive.

Opposite Brother Crow, who was very relaxed, Boss Huo couldn't relax.

Even though he also participated in the lively coronation ceremony, he was still wearing the traditional white long veil of Songhai on his head, dressing himself up like a prince of Shahai who was very knowledgeable about technology at first sight, but he would be frowning. Mei Mei holds the account book and has been calculating data with the calculation orb.

Just from the frown, it can be seen that Boss Huo must have noticed some bad signs.

"There's something wrong with the money flow in the Kafhoka area."

A few minutes later, when the airship crossed the Maginot Line, Boss Huo ended this round of calculations. He raised his head and looked at Brother Crow on the opposite side and said:

"According to our plan for this round, the funds raised from various channels of Kafhuoka are not commensurate with the dividends returned to shareholders. Originally, we should be able to make a little profit by buying in and selling out. Why did I calculate the result Not only did you not make any money back, but you lost so much?

Is that Ivan doing something secretly?

He was a big-time soldier before. He has never seen so much money. It is normal to be greedy. Does he need to send a new accountant there? "

"No, no need, I'm watching over there."

Brother Crow waved his hand without raising his head and said casually:

"The plan you gave before, the monthly rate of return in the second round of financing was around 20%, but I think this return ratio is a bit too low, and it cannot fully arouse the greed in the hearts of shareholders, nor can it be more It would be better to attract more speculators to participate quickly, so I instructed Ivan’s team to increase the rate of return for the second period of dividends to 40%.

This is why there is such a huge loss on the books.

But don’t worry, Ivan’s trading company will launch the third round of financing next week. According to the current status of shareholders reported by Ivan, all the big landowners and businessmen in the Kafhoka area who can receive any news have already They started lining up to treat him to a meal and gave him various expensive gifts in an attempt to find out some 'inside information'.

According to the current investment intentions of old shareholders collected by Ivan, we can at least receive hundreds of times the principal in this wave of financing. This is enough to continue to expand the market, and then there will be another round of 50% return rate. The above dividends can completely set this fire on fire.

When the fire cooks the oil and the profit chain kidnaps the entire middle- and upper-class wealthy people in Kafhoka, the harvest can really begin.

The current momentum is still not big enough. If you want to get results as soon as possible, you have to take strong medicine. What I mean is that it is better to increase the return on investment to more than 100% in the third round of dividends."

"You're crazy!"

Hearing Brother Crow say such terrible words in a calm tone, Boss Huo couldn't hold back any longer. He sat on the chair with some sadness and lit one for himself. In the smoke, Old Huo said hoarsely:

"An annual return on investment of more than 30% can be regarded as a standard Ponzi scheme. Now the rich people in Kafhoka are going crazy, and they regard Ivan, the veteran oil man, as 'wealth'" The illegitimate child of the goddess'.

You actually don’t think it’s enough!

Crow, I just want to use this operation to show the majesty of the goddess of wealth. I don't want to bring down Nordtov's fragile economy in one fell swoop, but sooner or later something will happen if you play this way. "

"An accident? Well, it depends on what you mean by the word 'accident'."

Brother Crow turned over a page of the book. While reading an ancient story from the Songhai Empire, he said in a gentle tone:

"We will return part of the principal and income to the largest shareholders in this model before the harvest is completed. By stabilizing them, we can ensure that Ivan's small gang retreats, but after seeing this method of making money, you We cannot expect those merchants and manor owners with medieval thinking to continue to live by such stupid means as loan sharking.

We have taught them the most profitable way, and we just need to wait patiently for the same trick to be repeated again and again in Nordtov and even other places in the Old World.

The craziest, most cunning, and greedy guys can eat a lot of money, but eventually lose everything in a certain gamble. Their deeds will become counterexamples recorded in the scriptures of the Goddess of Wealth to guide believers not to step into the trap. into the whirlpool of desire, and those stories that serve as counterexamples will drive generations of careerists to continue to stage the same stories.

Do you think this is a game of wealth and money?

No, no, no, Lao Huo, you still don’t realize that you are in a world where gods and symbolic powers exist. You don’t realize what a dangerous Pandora’s box we are opening!

I dare to predict here that if everything goes as I predict, then at most twenty years later, Dutna, the goddess of wealth, will give birth to a neutral-to-evil aspect related to business fraud, extraordinary financing, and financial manipulation.

If you want to promote the majesty of the goddess of wealth, you can't just let those careerists see positive profits through the accumulation of wealth. The manipulation and desire for risks are weaknesses hidden deep in human nature. You have to use more destructive power. To let everyone see clearly the true power of the goddess of wealth!

You were the one who got me to join this thing in the first place, but now you've given up on it yourself. How can this be done?

Stand up for me, Lao Huo! "

Brother Crow closed the book and said to Boss Huo:

"I also hope that you can become the first choice of the Goddess of Wealth. Everyone in the entire continent will praise you as the 'Son of Wealth'. Every word you say can make waves on the continent. By then, even Wolf Both the girl and King Louis will welcome you with a smile."

"Oh, I've already boarded a pirate ship."

Boss Huo sighed. After smoking the cigarette, the expression on his face became fierce. After putting out the cigarette butt in the ashtray, Lao Huo stood up and said:

"I'll go talk to Mr. Qin. With the size of your current plan, it's definitely not enough to rely on players' gold coins. I have to ask real predators to help us stabilize the basic market. You're right. Since we have to do this Just do your best!

Don't rush into short-term harvesting, Crow.

Extend the line and tell Ivan that you don’t have to worry about financial problems. Try to get as many people who are still waiting to participate as possible, and ask him to extend the trading company’s business further inland to Nordtov, and take another walk. Count Andrei's approach is to see if he can also bring down the properties that the Wolf Girl has left to the royal treasurer! "

"Um?"

The decisiveness and ruthlessness of Lao Huo, who was completely willing to give up, made Crow raise his eyebrows. He said in surprise:

"Are you looking for a successor in advance? Are you planning to let the wolf girl take over at the last moment?"

"Nonsense! That's her country. If she doesn't take over, who will?"

Boss Huo turned around with a sinister smile and said:

"Of course, we can't enmity with Her Majesty the Wolf Lady. If the quarrel continues to the death, there will be no way to do business. So before she takes the hot potato that will blow up her and the entire Nordtov financial system, we have to Take good care of Her Majesty the Queen."

"Well, I actually have a better idea."

The crow stood up, walked a few steps in place, and said:

"You and Little Rich Brother have seen through the terrible ambition in Count Andre's heart a long time ago. Anyway, the conflict between the Wolf Girl and Lady Shani has become public. Why not take this opportunity to give Count Andre a push?" , let him succeed Mrs. Shani as the man behind the wolf girl.

I heard that the vampire nobles in the Principality of Thorns also have their own white gloves to manage the family business?

Perhaps we should send a business-savvy vampire to contact them and tie the Thorn clan into our chariot. "

"Well, you have to be careful then."

Old Huo chuckled and said:

"Vampires don't abide by any business ethics. Once they know that they have been cheated, they may resort to 'physical debt collection'."

"Okay, let them come to the church of the Goddess of Wealth to ask for money from me."

Brother Crow spread his hands and said in a gentle tone:

"As long as the debt collectors with murderous intentions can get there, it is right for me to pay back the money. As I said, this is a world with gods and symbolic power. The gods absorb faith from believers, and naturally they must also take over the responsibility for believers. Disaster.

I believe that Ms. Dutna, who respects the transaction, will be willing to protect me, a sin-ridden villain, and you and I will become the golden blade in the hands of the God of Wealth to punish disobedient people.

Salute to you, chosen by the God of Wealth. "

"Hail to you also, Patriarch of the Goddess of Fortune."

The two bad guys pretended to salute each other, and then split up to do their own things.

Lao Huo needs to get the "business assistance" from Master Qin before the next dividend, and Brother Crow's matter is more complicated. In a few days, the Church of Avalon will hold its first event in Transia in the name of the Father of Oak. It's rally day.

Although Brother Crow has now changed his career to serve the ascendant Wealth Church, due to his personal friendship with a certain leader of the Avalon Church and his obvious super work ability, this gathering still requires Brother Crow to serve as a "consultant" ".

Therefore, after the airship landed in the Scarlet Castle, Brother Crow immediately took the carriage of the Church of Avalon to the church, and was busy until the evening before returning to his residence.

Well, as a player with a strong sense of ritual, Brother Crow used the relationship with the Church of Avalon to buy himself a small yard when the house sales in Scarlet Castle were opened, right next to the manor of Archbishop Natalie. , it is very convenient for Brother Crow to come to the house on time every week to provide psychological counseling and intervention for the Patriarch.

In addition, he will also take on some "private jobs" in this yard.

For example, it provides some psychological counseling services to veterans in Transia. The most typical examples are veterans Norman and Porter, who are his old patients.

But today, Brother Crow seems to have a new guest.

Just when he was about to log off the line in his yard to have something to eat and feed the dog, a travel-worn stranger visited his residence.

"Hello, Doctor Crow."

It was a shadow elf dressed in shabby traveler clothes. His dress was very classic, just like the traditional image of a mercenary. However, from the confusion and fatigue revealed in his eyes, it can be seen that this guy is also a person with a story. .

He said to the crow who looked him up and down:

"I came from the Eternal Rift Valley. I heard from the tribesmen in the city that you are the best local 'spiritual doctor'. You have helped many people get out of the nightmares in their hearts and let them regain their new lives. I have seen me with my own eyes. With your help, a friend of mine escaped from his crazy life, opened a small bar in the city and found a boyfriend to start living a serious life.

To be honest, I almost didn't recognize her.

But it also made me realize that you are not those liars who deceive the world and steal your reputation, so I came to visit you at this time, hoping that you can also help me.

I brought the medical fee”

"But I don't need consultation fee here, guest."

Crow showed a gentle and compassionate smile and said:

"Talking to the mental health of victims is just my hobby as a clergyman, and it is voluntary labor. After all, God teaches us to be tolerant to others, and seeing every patient regain a healthy and active life with my help is very important to me. It is also a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

So come on in, weary guest.

I need to understand your past and your problems before I can develop a targeted treatment plan for you. "

"Okay, but I have a complicated past."

The shadow elf walked into Crow's courtyard and tasted the tea from Callum's ancient country at the other party's warm invitation. Under Crow's guidance, he told stories about his past.

"I was born in Mejwa City. It is a very typical shadow elf city. You know, due to some historical reasons, men face a very painful and embarrassing situation in the shadow elf city."

Lying on a comfortable chair, the Shadow Elf Traveler stared at the wonderful patterns above his head. As the crow holding a notebook beside him listened, he whispered:

"I was not lucky enough to be born into a family with real power. I just struggled to survive as a commoner. My father was the son of a psionicist in the Medjeva family. Well, my partner, at least when he was old and lustful. It was like that before.

He has taught me his life's survival experience since he was a child, trying to make me live a better life.

I don’t feel that my father’s profession is embarrassing, after all, shadow elves are like that. It wasn’t until my father accidentally broke a collection and was fed to the psionicist’s demon-hunting spider pet that I felt Realize what it means for a man to be born in the Eternal Rift.

Ah, there is no need to say much about the subsequent growth.

In order to survive, I worked as a thief, a mercenary and a gigolo for a period of time. Thanks to my father's teachings from an early age, I was very adaptable to that job and by an unexpected stroke of luck, I was selected by the matron of the Medjeva family to become a waiter. father.

Do you know what ‘Paper’ stands for? "

"Yeah, I know."

Crow said softly:

"I also have many shadow elf patients. I know the significance of embarking on this path for shadow elf men. Were you desperate at the time? Or did you feel the psychological anxiety and physical challenges like other men who want to get ahead?"

"All of them."

The shadow elf lying there sighed and said:

"I am very confident in my skills. It is not difficult for me to serve and please my superior mistress. I once thought that like my father, I could use all the flattery skills to make myself live comfortably until the day I am disgusted. .

But the fate that had always ignored me suddenly appeared on that day.

One day when I was preparing to serve my mistress, I met a friend.

Another man who has free access to his mistress's court.

But he is not a lowly person like me. He is a family warrior, a very elite one. He did not turn a blind eye to me like others. On the contrary, he kindly reminded me that my mistress was in a bad mood today and asked me to pay more attention. It also allowed me to escape disaster that night.

That night, the other three servants were beheaded, but I was the only one who survived.

It was also that night that I owed my life to that kind warrior.

Well, that’s the first life I owe him.”

"What about him?"

The crow's writing strokes stopped, and he asked:

"That must be a friend who means a lot to you. I'm curious, how did he end up?"

The shadow elf lying there fell silent.

After a while, he closed his eyes and sighed:

"He died and was killed by my own hands. It was also on that day that I killed my last conscience, if I really had that thing. Shouldn't you report me to the official now? Doctor Crow."

"You are joking, guest. Now you are my patient. There is no doubt that no matter what your identity is in the outside world, you have a terrible mental illness. Before the terrible past that cannot be touched is resolved, you cannot and do not want to start a new life.

Look, a soul living in the past, a sample with a strong desire for self-destruction, a walking collection of mental problems."

The crow said in a gentle tone:

"It is the ethics of every doctor to keep secrets for patients, and it is my honor as a doctor to meet a unique case like yours, so please continue talking, I can't wait to solve this difficult disease for you."
