Chapter 504

"So, Dragon Calm's Black Star, what exactly do you need, do you want my help?"

Once again came to Rockface's mansion, this time Han Xiao met Rockface alone, the two sat opposite each other, and the servant served refreshments.

After chatting for a few words, Rockface asked straight to the point.

"My time is precious, if you have anything to ask, just say it."

Han Xiao put down his cup, leaned his upper body forward, and said: "Then let me tell you straight, my mercenary group is Dragon Calm's field force. It has been in operation for a year and a half. It's time to expand and increase the scale. I bear Emersy's prestige on my shoulders, so I can't continue to make small troubles. The structure of large legions like Sky Ring and Blade is the direction of Black Star's construction. The stronger the field troops, the stronger Dragon Calm will be, so I need some financial support , to set up a base camp exclusively for the mercenary regiment, rather than a leased temporary stronghold."

His pre-preparation plan for version 2.0, the core goal is to expand the faction, and then guide Seablue Star players to join the mercenary group in the disaster of alienation, and Gedora and Dusky Star are both competitors. Choose one camp, and Han Xiao wants to step in as a third party to provide players with a new way out, so in addition to the original "good and evil", there is also the "neutral" he represents.

Based on this, problems followed one after another. In order to accommodate thousands of players, the camp's hardware facilities needed to be greatly upgraded, otherwise it would be impossible to receive and attract more members.

The most important factor to attract players is the benefits. Even if the meat bun program has cultivated a large number of audiences who yearn for the mercenary group, it is difficult to use love to generate electricity for a long time, so the mission resources provided to the players are very important, and Han Xiao has long understood this The plan was to establish the mercenary group in the first place to become a middleman for mission release, connect employers and players, so as to borrow almost endless mission resources in the mercenary world to cultivate their own faction, retain players, form a faction attraction, and accumulate The most important thing is the reputation of the mercenary group.

In addition to the characteristics of the mercenary group itself, he also has plans for NPC resource areas, and there are countless ways to give benefits.

In addition to mission resources, another focus is the faction's special products. In addition to the professional knowledge and skills of the big money-absorbing households, mechanical creations are naturally his specialty, and it is impossible to complete large-scale orders by relying on its own production capacity, so mass production must be considered. Problem, start assembly line, build your own military factory... With the current knowledge and manufacturing level, it is barely feasible to build an assembly line.

Then the second question arises, where should the pipeline be placed? If so many players are admitted, the mercenary group must have a huge, fixed, and exclusive stronghold, which is equivalent to the main city of the faction, otherwise it will not be conducive to cultivating a sense of belonging. Only having its own "main city" is like a regular army. Even professional guerrilla fighters still pay attention to encircling the city from the countryside, and the location, security, resources, functions, etc. of the stronghold are all problems.

Therefore, it is logical to lead to the third question, traffic! Now that the number of members under his command has skyrocketed, traveling is a problem. Letting the players drop the spaceship all the time, what is this? Long-term cooperation agreement.

These are just the basic problems, and there are still many fragmentary problems, such as finding a stable raw material supplier, contacting the engineering team, etc. Expanding the camp is like expanding the size of the company. If you want to increase the scope of business, you need to make a lot of preparations. spend money.

Adding Nagokin's remuneration, Han Xiao still has more than 500,000 inal left in his deposit. He counted on his fingers a few days ago, and felt that this amount of money is enough, and it hurts to use his own wallet, so, at this time, See Rockface, generally speaking, it is to attract investment.

"Expand the size of the field force..." Rockface narrowed his eyes. "Is this what Emersy meant?"

"Ames never takes care of things. You should understand this. I am the person in charge of the field force. This is the plan I am preparing myself." Han Xiao said.

"I guessed it wasn't her idea..." Rockface changed his posture, showing more aura, fully showing the confidence of a rich man, and said with a half-smile: "Then how much money do you want?"

"How much are you willing to give?" Han Xiao threw the question back.

Rockface immediately changed the topic, "So far, I have provided Dragon Calm with nine grants, with a total of about 24 million enals. This will not be the final figure. I still have the intention of investing in Dragon Calm , Jenny and I are old acquaintances, and the rewards she gave are the reasons why I insist on investing, enjoying the reputation of Emersy, and allowing me to earn satisfactory profits from other channels."

Then, he kept silent and looked at Han Xiao with a smile. The subtext was what you can give me in return.

By investing in Dragon Calm, he obtained some kind of permission from the chief executive Jenny to share a part of Emersy's influence, and then use this to start business negotiations or political activities, which is equivalent to exchanging investment for the influence of the strong, and then using the influence Trying to make money, going back and forth, will only earn much more than the amount of investment, then the problem comes, investing in Dragon Calm headquarters can only have this kind of return, why invest in Dragon Calm's field troops, and this is only Han Xiao's personal plan, if it is Emersy's intention, he will give money, Black Star... not so much face.

Want to repay, Han Xiao smiled, and suddenly said: "You must have information about me, so you must know that I have some immortal fighters under my command."

Rockface nodded, "Well, I also noticed that they are not with you now."

"They are natural mercenaries, the number is far beyond your imagination, and I know all of them, expanding the scale is not just infrastructure, but also increasing the number of members, I don't need to hire other mercenaries in the free market, they are me The one you like, if you invest, I can quickly expand the scale and become a large mercenary group. At that time, I will give you a satisfactory return - even if you have Jenny's permission, sometimes you need Dragon Calm's combat troops to show up in person Help you convince your competitors, or a large mercenary group that is willing to accept your free employment in private?"

Han Xiao selectively revealed part of the situation, convincing investors that he must describe the project's prospects. Although there is a stock market in the interstellar space, a mercenary group is far from meeting the entry threshold, so naturally it is not qualified to be an empty-handed white wolf.

And he is not afraid of revealing the existence of players. Sooner or later, players will join StarCraft, and everyone will know about it. During the version update period, even if they tell Rockface some information, the other party can't do anything, because now even a player's No hair can be found!

This is a new idea he came up with recently - let NPCs recognize the potential of players and attract them to actively invest.

The meeting at this time is a small trial, and he is testing the feasibility of this idea.

Rockface was skeptical, lost in thought, and fell silent. Han Xiao's proposal made him a little interested. It might be a good project to help Dragon Calm build a field force, but although Black Star is also a member of Dragon Calm, his trust is not enough Invest with confidence.

Han Xiao thought he would have to wait for a while, but in less than ten seconds, Rockface made a decision, and the head of this large consortium acted vigorously and resolutely.

"I won't help you."

"That's such a pity, you missed a project whose return is far greater than the investment." Han Xiao shook his head.

At this time, Rockface changed the subject, "But I can give you a loan, 4 million enals, with a three-year term, for Dragon Calm's sake, I will give you a simple interest rate, and the loan will be repaid within one year. I don’t charge you interest. If you repay the loan within one year and within two years, I will charge you 10% interest, which is 400,000. If it is more than two years and within three years, 20%, 800,000. More than three years, Forty percent, 1.6 million, this is my condition."

The corner of Han Xiao’s mouth twitched. The interest rate is a bit explosive. It’s fine within one year. After three years, it’s almost like usury. This is because he has a Dragon Calm background as a guarantee. Si is willing to borrow money.

Money is really...

"Okay, I promise."

Han Xiao nodded. He is not worried about repaying the money. The 2.0 version will be opened within a year. As long as the players return, I am afraid that they will be able to count the money to the point of brain cramps!

Not to mention repaying the money, even if we bought the Norios Consortium, we... ahem, excited, this is still unaffordable.

Rockface took out the communicator, clicked out a loan document, and both parties signed it. This document has legal effect and is backed up in the files of multiple civilizations he is familiar with. It is protected by the laws of these civilizations. If the money is not repaid, the relationship between these civilized camps plummets, and the upper limit of camp favorability is reduced to 2999 points, which means that the [respect] relationship will never be reached, and then the trust of personal identity will decrease, and it will no longer be possible to borrow money. will become a wanted criminal.

If the guild wants to get a loan, it has to spend a lot of energy to improve the relationship between the faction. If they don't pay back the money, all the accumulated relationship will be ruined. As long as the guild has a vision, it will not break the contract that backfires and encourages short-sightedness.

Han Xiao also has no intention of breaching the contract.

Ding……

Han Xiao's account received a transfer, and after a glance, the deposit amount suddenly changed to "4,581,010".

Rockface was very forthright in giving money. To a local tycoon who could spend more than 7 million yuan to buy sky-high priced accessories, this small investment was just a trivial matter to him.

But for Han Xiao at this time, it was a huge start-up capital.

"Then it's a pleasure to work with."

Standing up, Han Xiao shook hands with Rockface, and was led by the butler to leave the mansion. He went directly back to the hotel where Melos and the others were stationed. After supervising Sylvia's homework for a while, he went back to the room to think .

"I really got the investment. It seems that the influence of the faction is more important than I thought. With the start-up funds, as long as you choose a good place, you can start building the base camp... Uh, what planet is better? It's not far from Seablue Star, but it also needs to be closely connected with the interstellar space..."

beep beep...

While thinking about it, the communicator suddenly rang, and the chief supervisor, Jenny, sent a message with a bad expression. After connecting, the first sentence was to question:

"Rockface told me that you applied for a loan from him in private, why didn't you inform me in advance."

"Jenny, will you agree?"

"Don't call me Jenny, you should call me chief executive, of course I won't agree." Jenny's tone is decisive, she has always insisted on the practice of staying in a corner, and the construction of field troops is an unnecessary expense in her opinion, Emersy has never Need too strong armed forces.

"Then what else should I tell you?" Han Xiao spread his hands. He knows Jenny, who is in charge of finance and business, and has a strong desire for control. There is a conflict.

Of course, the core contradiction is that Jenny doesn't trust him enough, after all, he joined Dragon Calm's mercenary halfway through.

Jenny said firmly: "I order you to return the loan immediately. Without my permission, you cannot accept any form of funds!"
