While Dafei and the mayor were drinking tea, a guard outside the reception room announced, "Mr. Comilon, the owner of the shipyard, is here."
The mayor laughed and said, "Come in, come in!"
The door opened, and a middle-aged, thin elf wearing a hard hat, overalls, and a monocle came in. He saluted and said, "The mayor has summoned me urgently. I didn't have time to change.
The mayor smiled and said, "It's okay. Come and have some tea with me. I'll introduce you to someone. This is the president of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Dafei!"
Comilon nodded slightly and said, "So it's the most outstanding young president in the city. I've heard a lot about you!"
Dafei laughed and said, "You're too kind, sir!"
Yes, he looked like a technical person. Dafei could not help but be full of confidence in Eroline Shipyard. Looking at his lukewarm attitude, Dafei was a little unhappy. But then again, compared to the Ranger president Geary and the Storm Druil instructor that Dafei had met, his attitude was not bad. After all, he was a human, and his reputation in the arrogant and exclusive elven city was slow to rise.
The mayor smiled and said, "Mr. Comilon, if the most outstanding young president wanted to invest 30 million gold coins in our shipyard to develop giant ships, how would you feel?"
"Develop giant ships?" Comilon was shocked. He stared at Dafei for a few seconds, then shook his head and sighed. "It's not a matter of money. If it could be solved with money, it would have been solved long ago. We lack experimental materials, which are materials that can meet the standards of building giant ships. These materials are so precious that even the big factories with mature technology can't afford to waste them. How can they allow us to waste them by experimenting with them? Then there's the talent. Our factory doesn't have the talent to build giant ships. If we try to train them ourselves, we'll waste a lot of materials. In the end, it's materials! "
The mayor frowned and said, "This is indeed a problem!"
Dafei couldn't help but frown. Reputation and approval were already in sight. Were materials and technology the only two problems left? Speaking of materials, Dafei immediately thought of the batch of goods in Habbit Village.
Dafei immediately said, "I collected a lot of wood from the withered Wisdom Ancient Tree on the battlefield in the Pond of Light. Can that wood be used to build ships?"
Comilon's eyebrows twitched. "What kind of wood is it?"
Could there be a chance? Dafei hurriedly said, "I think it's the Ancient Iron Wood, Ancient Cold Crystal Wood, Ancient Radiant Wood, or something like that." Oh right, there was also the Mercury Wood that stretched as far as the eye could see in the Black Forest! I don't believe that I can't build a ship with so many rare types of wood!
Comilon hurriedly said, "Can you bring some samples over?"
Sample? Dafei could not help but sigh. "It's more troublesome. After all, the World Tree space has collapsed, and all the resources have been blocked!"
"I see!" Comilon's disappointment was evident on his face.
The mayor laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm very confident in President Dafei. It's only a matter of time before he finds the possible materials and ships them out. Even if he doesn't find them, he will find them in the future. Of course, our shipyard should put our research and development work first. Even if we don't have the materials, we can at least make some preparations from ship design and talent training. "
Comilon calmly said, "The mayor's guidance is very correct."
Dafei nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, it's just a matter of time. Mr. Comilon, don't worry about that."
The mayor smiled and said, "Alright, let's start drafting the investment contract now. This time, the 30 million investment will be in the name of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce, accounting for 7.236% of Eroline Shipyard's shares. In other words, the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce will receive 7.236% of the shipyard's profits every month as the chamber of commerce's funds. What do you two think?"
Dafei's eyebrows twitched. How much was the shipyard's monthly profit? If it was 1 million gold coins, then his chamber of commerce would receive 70,000 dividends? Impossible, that was too little! Was there a profit of 10 million? If it was 10 million, it would be 720,000 per month. That was still acceptable. But one month was three days in the real world. If he wanted to get back his 30 million investment, he would have to … F * ck, the real world was too far away for him to look at!
Just as Dafei was thinking about the income from this investment, Comilon smiled helplessly. "I didn't expect Eroline's excellent company to be invested in by the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce. This is for the mayor's sake, and also for the sake of scientific research and development. I have nothing to say."
The mayor patted him on the shoulder and laughed. "I also know that your factory is doing well and has reached a bottleneck. Investment doesn't mean much to you. You don't want others to invest in your profits, but it is precisely because your scale has reached a bottleneck that you need the investment of a talent like the president to help you break through! Once you break through, you won't even have time to thank me and the president. "
Comilon laughed and said, "I understand. The overall situation is like a game of chess. The mayor has his own difficulties. Whether the scientific research is successful or not, as an excellent company, we should help them. But I also know that the mayor doesn't want to do business at a loss. Since the mayor thinks so highly of him, and he has indeed done a good job, of course, I can only think highly of Mr. President!"
The mayor laughed and said, "Thank you for understanding, thank you for understanding!"
Dafei laughed involuntarily. So my Chamber of Commerce is helping the poor! I still think the income is too little. Under normal circumstances, even if I want to invest, they won't do it! Thinking about it, my Chamber of Commerce is now under the Sea God's Curse, and there is no way to do business. The Chamber of Commerce's funds can only be obtained by members doing missions, which is really too little. With the dividends from the shipyard, it will be an additional channel for the Chamber of Commerce's funds —
Wait! Thinking of this, Dafei was suddenly shocked! This 30 million is actually my private funds! Private funds can't be directly turned into the Chamber of Commerce's funds or the city's funds. No matter how powerful the tycoon president or tycoon mayor is, even if he buys hundreds of millions of private gold coins from a gold farming studio, it can't be turned into the Chamber of Commerce's funds or the city's funds. They can only run around doing missions and do city trade — but my 30 million private gold coins are owed to the Exchange for a few days, and then transferred to the shipyard by the mayor, and it can be turned into the Chamber of Commerce's funds in the form of dividends!
What is this? In another sense, it's "money laundering!"
Damn! Is this against the rules? Mr. Mayor, you really are a god-tier mayor! The NPC I respect the most in the entire game is you! For a moment, Dafei's heart ached. He only hated the fact that the Exchange owed him less gold coins! What else can I say now? Of course, I agree!
— System Notification: The Dragon Knight Chamber of Commerce has invested in the Iroline Shipyard and received 7.236% of Iroline's monthly profits as dividends!
Dafei said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Thank you, Mr. Comilon, for your help!"
Comilon shook his head and said calmly, "It's just helping each other. In the future, Mr. President can come to our factory to guide us at any time. Alright, there's something in the factory. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
The mayor smiled and said, "Thank you."
Dafei hurriedly said, "Take care, Mr. President."
As soon as the shipyard boss left, the mayor couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "Mr. President, you heard what I said to Mr. Comilon just now. It's hard being a mayor. Some industries in the city are developing well, and some are on the verge of bankruptcy. As the mayor, I always try to let the industries with good performance help the industries that are lagging behind. In the end, I infringe on the benefits of the industries with good performance, and the industries that are lagging behind don't develop. Some people are very dissatisfied with me. Mr. President, your appearance in a foreign country made me see the pioneering spirit of a navigator. My eyes lit up. Perhaps you, coming from a neighboring country, can revive Iroline's situation? In short, I have high hopes for you. Continue to work hard! "
Dafei finally understood. No wonder he felt that Jillian and the Storm Druil instructor didn't give the mayor any face. It was most likely because the mayor was dragging them down. But it couldn't be that simple, right? This mayor was behind the scenes manipulating the modification of Brother's Flying Banshee Barracks and arranging for his trusted aides to sell Brother's deep-sea specialties at the Exchange. He probably had many tricks up his sleeves, and the conflict between the city's officials was very deep.
But that wasn't important. What was important was that he had high hopes for Brother and had always supported Brother. And his words just now revealed a very important piece of information!
Dafei asked, "Sir, are there many enterprises in the city that are on the verge of bankruptcy?"
The mayor's eyebrows twitched, and he shook his head with a smile. "There are some. Does Mr. President want to support them? But the current president doesn't have the strength and prestige to do so. Alright, Mr. President, the Murloc quarantine is almost complete. Mr. President, hurry up and do your own things. "
So that's it! That means Iroline still has many enterprises waiting for Brother to save and invest in? Wahahaha. But forget about those trashy enterprises. I'll do my own things first.
Dafei bowed and bade farewell. The mayor prepared to settle down the Murloc.
After this poverty alleviation, Dafei was deeply inspired. He was now the city lord of Light City and the president of the Dragon Cavalry Trade Association. He could definitely help himself and invest in himself! In other words, if Light City didn't have any city funds, Brother would transfer it from the Dragon Cavalry Trade Association's funds. Anyway, money would go from his left pocket to his right pocket, and how many deadlocks would he be able to solve?
However, now that Light City and the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce were in dire straits, who could help who? It seemed that Brother still had to seek a more stable space for development. Netherworld Ocean Paradise? That's right! That's the territory that Brother had decided on. But it's still too early for that. That Instant Youth Canal Company that was being established? Well, I don't trust players, especially female players who are so calculative. I'm even more worried about them.
Anyway, Brother didn't want to think too much. The most important thing now was the materials. All of Brother's rare materials were blocked by the Eight-Headed Serpent in Habbit Village. If he could get rid of it, not only would it revitalize the development of Light City, but it would also solve the problem of the shipyard's research. The problem was that it was still too early! Being too advanced really hurt. Sigh.
