Chapter 272 Loan Although Demonic Castle only has a few hundred thousand inner city residents and about the same number of mercenaries on the surface, everyone knows very well that there are six military camps guarding its periphery, and each military camp has There are no less than a million troops hidden. Maybe many demons don¡¯t know that the demiplane is superimposed in the military camp, but they definitely know that the space in the military camp is much larger than it looks on the outside, which is why so many troops can be accommodated. These troops are usually hidden in the huge space in the military camp and cannot be easily accessed, so they cannot cultivate a regular source of customers. But since it is an army, these demons will go to the battlefield sooner or later. Joanna has brought the insurance business to the border. It seems that she is also very discerning and has taken advantage of this large number of potential customers. "Josanna's business philosophy for the insurance business is basically not far from that of modern society. Even Alvin can't think of a more reasonable model. With a well-developed baron as a guarantee of credibility, coupled with other publicity methods, I believe no one will have any doubts about Joanna's ability to pay insurance compensation. As long as Joanna's insurance bank is opened, it will definitely not fail. Although Ai Wen was envious, he also knew that this kind of opportunity to make a fortune made him jealous, but he couldn't learn from it. It's not that Alvin doesn't have the ability to run an insurance company, but he doesn't have the financial resources to start one. Although this kind of business will make more money as it gets bigger, the initial investment is too large and cannot be sustained without a certain amount of strength. "I really don't know how little money I have" Ai Wen sighed secretly in his heart. Looking at Joanna's nonchalant look, Alvin suddenly felt something in his heart and asked tentatively, "Miss Joanna, if you still have surplus funds in your hands while carrying out this plan, then I wonder if you can borrow part of it." "Give me the funds?" "Huh?" Joanna was stunned for a while, and then said after a long time, "You want to borrow funds from me? Are you afraid" "Honestly, I'm scared, but I believe it more. "I have the ability to repay this loan." Joanna hesitated to speak, but Alvin knew what she wanted to say, it was just that her reputation as a creditor was really bad. With the cheating device of Small World in hand, Ivan is not worried about not being able to pay back the money. Even if he really can't pay back the money due to various reasons, then it's a big deal. Anyway, Joanna is also planning to stand on her own in the Demon Castle. Since it is If she is independent, then naturally there will be no Siqi family to continue to back her up, so Aiwen has made up her mind to simply delay the return. As long as the power in her hands develops sufficiently, Johanna will surely be able to do so by then. I won't come here to collect debts every day without a wink. txt e-book download** "Thenhow much do you plan to borrow?" Joanna didn't expect that Ivan had such and such dirty thoughts in his heart. She only felt a warm current called trust flowing in her heart, and she was a little touched. , coupled with the fact that Ai Wen was brought here by a dirty trick before, although Yan Yan was smiling on the surface, there was still a little bit of apology in his heart, so he attacked twice, hesitated slightly, and then asked. "Eighty thousand gold coins," Aiwen said calmly, his face calm, but his heart was really uneasy. "Eighty thousand gold coins? This is the price of a barony. Master Ivan, are you sure you really want to borrow so much money from me?" Joanna couldn't help but feel a little moved. She once again felt that she had underestimated Ivan and him. Thickness of skin. "I'm sure" Ai Wen also had a fever on his face, but he said firmly. "So, do you have suitable collateral?" After receiving a positive reply from Ivan, Johanna's tone gradually calmed down and she began to ask in a business-like manner. "I don't have any collateral" Hearing this, Ai Wen's heart sank, and he couldn't help saying a little frustrated. "You are very honest." Joanna smiled softly, and her tone softened again. "Then can you give me a reason? Why should I lend you 80,000 gold coins without any collateral, especially you?" "You just rejected my invitation?" "I'm sorry, I really can't find any reason. If you must need a reason, then my answer to you is that because of this loan, you can harvest here in Demon God's Castle. Find a loyal ally," Aiwen said bravely. "This reason is really unconvincing when it comes from the mouth of a demon." Joanna said lightly. After being silent for a few seconds, she suddenly changed her tone. "But that's for other demons. Saying this from your mouth , but it makes me believe it a little bit." "Huh?" Ivan was stunned, what did Joanna mean by this? "After the canonization ceremony, come to me and I will give you the funds you need." Joanna continued. "Oh, okay" Alvin said hardNodding, although he felt that if this matter were placed on him, he would never lend others 80,000 gold coins for such a ridiculous reason, but since he was the party to the loan, Johanna recognized him. Naturally, there is nothing better than a good argument. No matter whether it is ridiculous or not, as long as you can get 80,000 gold coins. Knowing that he could have 80,000 gold coins in advance, Ivan felt a little relieved. With this money, he no longer had to rack his brains every day to find out whether there were any opportunities to make money in the market. Before the army returns, he can even hide in the small world to practice without having to worry about other things. "Wait a minute, you don't think I'm a good person enough to give you an interest-free loan, do you?" Seeing Alvin's relaxed expression, Joanna immediately guessed some of Alvin's thoughts and said with a half-smile. "Hey, isn't it?" Ai Wen said in surprise. "Of course not. Although our friendship is good, you don't even have any collateral. Why should I give you such a discount? The monthly interest is 50% and the repayment is 180,000 yuan in two months. If you are willing, , just come to me later, if you don¡¯t want to, just forget it,¡± Joanna said fiercely, but the tone in her tone was more teasing than threatening. This is a standard loan shark. Although the monthly interest rate is not high enough to destroy other people's families, it is enough to scare away a large number of people. Ivan frowned, thought about it in his mind, and finally nodded. The competition in the mission hall continued. Soon, other competitors were defeated by Quito's arrogant offer. However, the ultra-high price of 160,000 gold coins was really worth it based on the value of a territory. It's hard to say whether it's a profit or a loss, but Quito's reputation as "I'm not short of money" has been established in this price competition. Ivan could clearly see that there were many members of small mercenary groups or some lone mercenaries, gathered around Quito and ready to move - not to rob, but to recommend themselves and join Quito's command to earn a hiring fee. . Soon, a demon dressed as a warrior walked towards Kido with a flattering face. Kido was also very cheerful. After asking about the opponent's strength in a few words, he nodded and agreed to the opponent's surrender. It seemed that he also opened a With a high salary, the first guy to eat the crab was a great success, and naturally a large group of mercenaries followed him. Soon, Quito was surrounded by a group of mercenaries. Kido's face was filled with laughter and he was trembling with laughter. He finally made an agreement with the mercenaries who gathered around him. He just wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked towards Alvin and Joanna. "Miss, it's done. Hey, you areyou are Alvin." When Kido first saw Alvin, his expression seemed a little unnatural, but after all, he had been following Joanna for a long time, and his face was only a little thinner than Joanna's, so he immediately said He patted Alvin's shoulder vigorously, and hugged him quickly and enthusiastically. He hugged him tightly for several seconds before letting go of his arms. At this time, his expression had adjusted to the standard expression of touching an old friend. "Good boy, I knew you could successfully reach the Demon Castle, and sure enough I met you here," Kido said excitedly. "Although I arrived safely, most of the members of the entire team died." Ivan rubbed his shoulders and smiled slightly. "How can those useless guys compare with you? You are a genius mage from Bone Prison City. What do they mean?" Kido said disdainfully. "You can't say that they are still my comrades after all." Ivan was not used to Kido's tone. Although he also felt that it was normal for teammates with little strength or potential to die on the way, but this was not the case. Clearly express this view. "Is that kind of guy with no future worthy of being called a teammate?" Kido shook his head, and he also disagreed with Ivan's point of view. After chatting for a while, a staff member from the mission hall came over. He stopped one meter away from the three of them and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation, but Baron Winde, the canonization ceremony is about to begin." Please follow me to make some preparations before the ceremony. " "So soon?" Kido was startled, but with outsiders present, he couldn't say anything more. He nodded apologetically to Alvin and Joanna. As the staff member left. ¡°Let¡¯s go too, to Sishen Square,¡± Joanna said as soon as Quito left. "Oh, okay" Ivan recovered from the surprise and nodded. "Isn't it strange, why was Quito the one who obtained the barony?" Joanna walked for a while and suddenly asked in a low voice. "It was indeed a little strange at first," Ivan admitted honestly, "but now that I think about it, it seems that this is the best choice. A baronial system attracts too much attention. Having Quito come forward on your behalf is naturally better than doing it yourself."?It's much safer, but I don't think you really put all your hopes in Quito, right? " "Quido is my mother's subordinate He started taking care of me when I was very young. There was no fluctuation in Joanna's tone. "I believe in him, just like I believe in myself." " "Oh" Ai Wen said dubiously. Completing yesterday's chapter
