I Became a Progenitor Vampire

"No, Laurent, maybe we still have a chance to cooperate."

Laurent looked at Li De with some confusion. How could he have any chance of cooperation if he was bankrupt?

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and said with excitement: "Master Li De, do I also have the talent of a mage?

Goddess above, doesn't it mean that the older you get, the weaker your spell casting talent will be?

Am I the magical genius that the bards say? Lord Li De, I am willing, I am willing to be your apprentice."

Li De had a dark look on his face, you still have a mage talent just like you.

Your current beggar talent is definitely the strongest, as long as you wait until you go bankrupt.

"No, Laurent, don't even think about it as a mage. The goddess of magic is not a generous deity."

"Rather than magic, I would rather continue to leave the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce in your hands."

Laurent was obviously disappointed again. Do I really have no magic talent?

Li De's words stunned him again. Will he continue to hand over the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce to him?

"Lord Li De, are you saying that you want to invest in our Jinmai Chamber of Commerce?

Goddess above, your vision is enough to impress the goddess of wealth..."

Laurent felt happy that he had been chosen by the goddess of wealth. A powerful mage in Green City wanted to invest in his chamber of commerce.

This is simply something more exciting than his magical talent.

"No, Laurent, you are overthinking"

Li De's words slowly made Laurent's mood drop instantly, as if the last life-saving straw had been cut off.

"Lord Li De, you, you..."

Seeing the other party's expression of despair but also a bit of hope, Li De shook his head.

"I have no interest in investing in Jinmai Chamber of Commerce"

It's over.

Li De's words completely extinguished Laurent's inner hope. He was still a businessman who was about to go bankrupt.

“However, I am interested in acquiring the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce.

I will help you repay all your debts. The Jinmai Chamber of Commerce belongs to me. Both your residence and the slaves of the Chamber of Commerce are my private property.

And you, Laurent, can still continue to control the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce, and I will pay you a salary of 10 Jinpuke every month."

"No, Lord Li De, our chamber of commerce's residence, slaves, and our sales channels are worth more than two hundred gold pukes. Even if the Green City Chamber of Commerce takes all of this back, I won't owe them many gold pukes."

"Haha, do you think these things are still worth so much money after you can't repay your debt? You should know the style of those nobles, they will suck your blood dry."

Li De drank the hot milk in the cup and looked straight at Laurent who fell into silence.

"Sir Laurent, you only have one chance. If it weren't for your familiarity with me, you wouldn't get my favor.

You must know that if a senior mage who has a place in the Green City Mage Association wants to form a chamber of commerce, countless people will donate their chamber of commerce in one sentence."

Li De completely controlled this asymmetric negotiation, and Laurent had no right to say no in front of him.

Choose between bankruptcy and become a debtor worse than a beggar, or become a steward of a chamber of commerce.

Smart people know how to choose.

Although Li De's acquisition of Jinmai Chamber of Commerce was a whim, he also took deeper issues into consideration.

With the development of the castle, there will definitely be a large number of humans living in the castle in the future.

At this time, there will definitely be a large amount of living materials that need to be purchased from the outside world.

If you don't have your own chamber of commerce, then although it is not a big deal every time you buy from an outside chamber of commerce, it will easily be exposed over time, and secondly, you will lose a lot of extra expenses. After all, the chamber of commerce also needs to make money.

If you have a chamber of commerce that is completely controlled by yourself, then these problems will not be a problem.

The Jinmai Chamber of Commerce just happened at the right time. A chamber of commerce that went bankrupt due to lack of funds and did not lose its business channels is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

The most important thing is that in the memory of the ancestor of the blood clan, Laurent is a businessman with no background, and he is not bad in the business field, but is extremely shrewd.

If it weren't for the lack of backers, every time the goods would be exploited by various forces in the city, the scale would definitely be larger than it is now.

It is undoubtedly a waste of time to form a new chamber of commerce now. The personnel, territory, and even channels have to be started from scratch, which is not in his current interests.

The fixed assets of the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce are enough to be worth the two hundred gold puke... It's just that he doesn't have the ability to get the nobles to admit it.

This investment cannot be lost no matter what.

As long as he controls it well, it may be a powerful boost in the future. He is making a risky investment for the future.

The investment was only over 200 gold pukes. Even if it failed, it didn't matter. He could afford the loss.

Laurent didn't think about it for long. He didn't have any capital to negotiate with Li De.

Senior Mage, this name is enough to make him spit out a lot of bargaining words.

"I am willing, Mr. Li De. As long as you help me pay back the Jinpuke I owe, the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce will be yours."

Laurent felt a little bitter in his mouth, but he still gritted his teeth and said this.

Although I feel a little sad that the Chamber of Commerce that I have worked hard to save all my life has become someone else's, I feel relieved after saying that. At least I don't have to carry the two hundred gold puke borrowed from the Green City Chamber of Commerce.

The Green City Chamber of Commerce was established by nobles, and he could imagine what he would face if he didn't pay the money.

The chamber of commerce, the house, and the wife will all be robbed by those hateful nobles.

"Wise choice, come to my mage tower and sign the contract after returning to the city. You will become a person with a high-level mage as your backer.

From today on, those underground forces in the past will not mess with you again, and those difficult nobles will not bother the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce again.

All this is achieved by your wisdom. "

After hearing this, Laurent instantly felt that selling the Chamber of Commerce would be a good idea.

How to deal with the large and small underground forces in Green City is the biggest headache for a chamber of commerce like the Jinmai Chamber of Commerce with no background. At least 60% of the Jinpuke he earns every year will be exploited by these underground forces.

Behind many underground forces are nobles, so businessmen have no way to resist.

"Lord Li De, this is your gift. Laurent Orlando swears to you that I will be loyal to you."

Laurent is also a person who can take things seriously. After confirming his status, he knelt down on one knee and swore allegiance to Li De.

Ding~ Laurent Orlando pledges his allegiance to you, do you accept it?

Li De was stunned when he heard the system prompt in his ear. Is there such an operation?

accept.

He helped Laurent up and opened his attribute panel in his mind.

Talent: Business

Skills: Observation, negotiation, intimidation, negotiation, bargaining, snooping

Description: This is an excellent businessman who may be able to manage a large-scale chamber of commerce.

Li De was a little surprised after reading Laurent's attributes. He didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a professional businessman, and his level had reached level 12, which was two levels higher than him.

Inexplicably, I feel like I have found a treasure.
