My players are so fierce.

Chapter 1353 1351. Our Misty Sea Trading Company has flexible and diverse investment models
For the small shareholders who were invited, the interview with the mermaid nobles was quite boring. At least it was not as good as the performance of the desert dancers, which at least had thighs and buttocks to see.

What's even more annoying is that the mermaids are answering questions in a methodical manner according to the host's questions. The reason for the anxiety is that they don't quite understand what is being said, making it impossible for these small shareholders, who are indeed not of high status, to grasp the important information at all.

Mr. Ivankov specifically emphasized the importance of this interview, but the problem was that they knew it was important but didn’t know how to extract effective information, so they were a little frustrated. Are they really not suited to business? Are their previous imaginations of so-called “business tycoons” just their own fantasies?

Can't?

Probably to take care of these customers whose self-confidence was damaged, staff from the Misty Sea Trading Company soon distributed some manuals to these shareholders, which summarized the key points about the Atlantis Kingdom's development of the Savage Sea and the Plantagenet Kingdom's development of the New World. The staff of the trading company were even considerate enough to describe how to use this information and actions to make money using concise and clear mind maps.

This thing ensures that anyone who can read can understand the money-making logic of the Misty Sea Trading Company. As long as you accept this logic, which appears to have no problems on the surface, it is as if everyone has become a business tycoon. They have never imagined that the changes in the world situation actually hide so many business opportunities!

The thinking model is simple enough to give readers the necessary confidence!

If I didn't rely on the Misty Sea Trading Company and just did business according to these clues, I would definitely be able to make a lot of money, right?

What?
You said you can't read?

Well, if you don’t get fooled, who will?

But the interview, which ordinary small shareholders found boring, was listened to very attentively by some people in the VIP area, such as Marshal Heraclius and the royal treasurer beside him.

The cautious and rigid financial officer thought that the performance of the Desert Dancer was too seductive and he did not like it. The interview in front of him was the most important thing. He even took out a notebook to carefully record the information revealed by the mermaids.

The Wolf Girl sent him here to investigate the details of the Misty Sea Trading Company. From his current experience, the Treasurer believes that the basis for this company's ability to make money lies in their information network spread all over the world and the amazing insight of this trading company. As one of the important members who assisted the Wolf Girl in ascending the throne, the Treasurer can also understand the amazing benefits that can be obtained by participating in a war as a collaborator.

More importantly, Nordtov's intelligence department has been trying to figure out the national policy of its old rival, the Plantagenet Kingdom. The development of the New World was originally a guess without evidence, but through the interview with the Misty Sea Trading Company tonight, the Treasurer confirmed the existence of this policy.

This wave of unexpected success helped Her Majesty the Wolf Lady obtain important diplomatic intelligence.

This also made the financial officer more interested in the details of the Misty Sea Trading Company. Where did the background of this company come from? How could they even find out such information?
"How is it? Lord Maruo, are you still suspicious about the details of the trading company?"

Marshal Heraclius blew smoke rings, leaned back in his chair, turned the jeweled ring on his finger, and said:

"I shouldn't have been here originally, but you entrusted me in the name of Her Majesty the Wolf Girl to help you investigate the company's business, forcing me to step out from behind the scenes.

Hopefully you have gotten a definite answer.

Little Ivankov is my soldier. I believe he will not do anything that will harm the country. Moreover, the Misty Sea Trading Company is already a partner of the Kavkhok Legion, and all the supplies they provide us are of top quality.

We can even get the blueprints for Transia's latest weapons, although we are currently unable to manufacture them on a large scale.

But there is no doubt!
The existence of this company poses no threat to your majesty's career. I suggest that your majesty should use these people who truly understand business in her court, rather than putting those incompetent fools who can only flatter in her think tank. "

"I am not responsible for answering, Your Excellency the Marshal."

The financial officer named Maruo shook his head calmly and said:

"I am merely your Majesty's eyes and pawns. I will report everything I see to my queen, and your Majesty will make the final decision. In addition, I must warn you that it is very risky to leave the logistics of the army to the private chamber of commerce. If possible, you should cut off the connection between the Kafhoka Legion and the Misty Sea Trading Company as soon as possible."

"Humph"

The old marshal uttered a disapproving snort at the suggestion.

He was very unhappy with the royal hound's attempt to interfere with the military, just as he was very unhappy with the conservative policies of the wolf girl after she succeeded to the throne. What's more, it was too late to cut ties with the Misty Sea Trading Company.

The top leaders of the entire Kakhovka Corps have basically invested heavily in this trading company and made a lot of money from it. Now if the old marshal wants to withdraw, he will be isolated by the officers. More importantly, the old marshal is still counting on the Misty Sea Trading Company to continue making more money to provide the Kavkhovka Corps with more funds to reserve for the war and the livelihoods of those veterans.

Although he was not as sympathetic to the soldiers as General Baldwin, he had been in the army for a lifetime and knew that those veterans lived in difficult circumstances. If he could solve this problem, he would definitely be able to win the hearts of the people.

It was this argument that Ivankov used to convince the old marshal to join the trade in the beginning. Ivan himself was a retired veteran and understood the difficulties these veterans faced after returning to society, so he naturally wanted to seek benefits for the "family silvermen".

As for Marshal Heraclius, a commander must know how to unite everyone instead of creating artificial divisions.

Besides, he was born into a big family. He was the family's spokesperson but he could not make decisions for the rest of the family. Now that the entire family had become a major shareholder, it was impossible for the Marshal to withdraw his investment both publicly and privately.

The interviews with the mermaids ended quickly, and the various rumors about the Kingdom of Atlantis refreshed the audience's ears. However, the news brought by Mr. Huguenot, the "investment manager" of the Capet family of the Plantagenet Kingdom, who appeared later, was even more important.

This secretive old gentleman hinted in very obscure language that the Capet family would soon be promoted to regent of the Grand Duchy.

This piece of news alone caused the well-informed VIP shareholders to go wild, as it meant that the situation in the Old Continent would undergo a complete and earth-shaking change.

The last part of the shareholders' meeting was to invite the "Kavhoka Annual Investment Rising Stars" to the stage to share their "investment philosophy". Needless to say, each and every one of these guys was a stooge. As soon as they came on stage, they told all kinds of stories and boasted about how excellent the investment portfolio of the Misty Sea Trading Company was.

Moreover, their identities are either small landowners, bankrupt bankers, or small businessmen, which happen to overlap highly with the social groups of the audience in the audience, which makes their stories full of "sense of substitution".

Especially those hesitant "potential shareholders", after seeing that these guys could get rich overnight, they also began to waver. These idiots could make money. If they went up themselves, wouldn't it be a massacre?

But this stage is the most boring for shareholders in the VIP area. These people can see through this trick, so some of them will leave soon with excuses.

Mr. Marou had official business to attend to and could not stay to listen to the stories of these "Touching Kavkhovaya Persons of the Year", so he left the venue with the old marshal.

He had to return to his chambers to review the evening's information and convey his own judgment to Northwind Keep.

However, the old marshal took him to a special box on the third floor of the booked casino. When the door was opened, he saw Ivankov and several major shareholders chatting inside, and on the table in front of everyone were several boxes full of treasures.

Inside were not vulgar gold coins but deposit certificates and passbooks from the Charles Bank.

Seeing the old marshal coming in, Ivankov immediately stood up and saluted with a standard military salute. This action made Marshal Heraclius very satisfied. The old soldier obviously regarded Ivankov as "one of his own".

"Marshal, this is the dividend from the Kafhoka Corps Chamber of Commerce last month."

Ivankov turned the largest box over and handed it to the old marshal. He personally lit a cigar for the old marshal and then said softly:
"We have allocated the soldiers' pensions to the most lucrative trade routes, and I have lived up to your expectations. Now every soldier can receive a pension three times the normal level when he retires.

This is enough to allow veterans to start a small business and avoid poverty, and this is all thanks to your foresight and bold investment.

If you hadn't helped us when the Misty Sea Trading Company needed it most, allowing us to get our first large investment, this trade route would not have been so easy to coordinate.

Therefore, the senior management of the company's strategic investment department has discussed and decided to grant you the status of 'honorary member of the board of directors' and a salary as a strategic investment consultant."

He placed a smaller box in front of the old marshal, who waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Young man, you should be cautious in doing business and not be reckless, but I believe you will not disappoint the soldiers. Now every veteran in the barracks regards you as a money-spending boy, and every new soldier is eager to make a career like you.

Soldiers are always pure, and our likes and dislikes are quite obvious.

Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

The old marshal blew a puff of smoke, pushed back the dividend Ivankov had given him, and said:
"Put these dividends and the principal together in your next phase of business. How can triple the pension be enough? I hope that all the veterans of my legion will become small wealthy people after they retire. Only by ensuring the future life of the soldiers can they work together on the battlefield."

"This"

Ivankov's expression changed slightly. He looked at the old marshal and cursed in his heart, "This old guy is so fucking greedy!"
This is three times the profit, and you are still not satisfied?

Giving him the dividends now means that’s enough!

Get ashore quickly after making money, and don't let tens of thousands of people lose everything. Those are tens of thousands of trained killing weapons, and the consequences of a mess are terrifying. I did this because of my identity as a colonel of the Kavkhovaya Corps, but this old guy doesn't intend to stop?
Do you have such a big appetite?
The money he earned was enough for his family to enjoy for several lifetimes.
Dry!
Mr. Crow is right. This stupid and bad old man is the source of the chaos in Kafhoka. When General Baldwin was here, this place didn't have so many troubles!
it is good!
You want to play a big game?
Then I'll give you a chance!
Thinking of this, Ivankov accepted the investment with a smile on his face, and then looked at Lord Maro who was standing beside him without saying a word.

This financial officer came here in a hidden identity, but in fact, when he entered Kavkhok, Ivankov knew his true identity and his mission. He raised his glass to Lord Maro and asked:

"This gentleman looks unfamiliar. I heard from the Marshal that you are a representative of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce in North Wind Castle? How is it? Do you plan to invest in the Misty Sea Trading Company to make a huge profit for your Chamber of Commerce?"

"Your Majesty is joking."

Mr. Maro grinned and evaded the question:
"I am just a representative. I only have the power to inspect but not to make decisions. However, your company's trade plan is indeed ambitious. I will report everything to my boss truthfully."

Ivankov took a sip of wine. He noticed that the old marshal kept winking at him, and realized that the financial officer might have some knowledge of the internal corruption scandal of the Kavkhovaya Corps.

The old marshal brought him here so that Ivankov could bring this guy on board and corrupt him to become a member of this interest group, so that this guy would not say something he shouldn't say after returning to North Wind Castle or in his report to the wolf girl.

The retired soldier returned the look and left the box with an excuse.

A few minutes later, several ace dancers from Booty Bay entered the box to accompany the guests drinking. These girls with good figures and excellent maintenance were high-class dancers hired from the Nordtof Kingdom. Even in this extravagant place, they were the most valuable "treasure treasures".

However, most of them were related to some impoverished nobles in Nordtof and the families of convicted officials, and naturally there were some "old friends" among them.

Lord Marou originally wanted to find an excuse to leave here. He had walked on thin ice all his life and had finally come to this point. He did not want to ruin himself because of a little enjoyment. Until he saw a dancer with a familiar but sad face in front of him, the financial officer seemed to be struck by lightning.

He stopped walking and the forgotten past came to his mind.

"You are Vera?"

The financial officer exclaimed, even knocking over the wine glass next to him. The dancer was also surprised. She covered her face with shame, and said as she stepped back:

"No, Maruo, don't look at me! You, you shouldn't be here, God, why is it you?"

"Oh?"

The old marshal raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

He didn't need to think too much to know that this must be a "drama" arranged in advance by that good boy Ivankov. He immediately felt that this boy was really reliable. Then he took the initiative to stand up and said to the other curious shareholders:
"Everyone, it seems that Lord Maruo has met an old friend. Let's not spoil the mood here. Let's go to the casino and play a few games to see how lucky we are today."

Since the old marshal said so, the others naturally followed suit. Soon, only two people with a complicated past were left here, oh, they were once a pair of infatuated man and woman.

There is also a small box full of wealth left on the table.
It will be opened!
Yes, it certainly will.
-
"Thanks. The Thorn Clan's intelligence network in Nordtof is really amazing."

In his own lounge, Ivankov thanked the vampire baron who was counting his bankbooks and deposit receipts and said:

"Without your help, I really don't know how to deal with this difficult Lord Maruo. Who would have thought that he was actually a playboy when he was young? And that Lady Vera with a rough life, oh my, the old lovers meet again, and now the displaced Vera can finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

We have done a good thing.”

"These are minor issues."

The vampire from the Thorn Clan looked at the dividends in front of him with satisfaction. He raised his head and said:
"Your business is doing well, and it has helped the Principality of Thorns escape from years of wealth stagnation. You are the real heroes. Well, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I won't take these wealth with me. I will invest it in your next round of plans.

But I still want to warn you, Ivankov!

The wealth of several powerful earls of the Principality of Thorns is all in it. Be careful when you invest. If you make a mistake, even with the protection of the Blood Eagle Clan, your life will be ruined for the rest of your life."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes. The wealth of high-net-worth clients like the Principality of Thorns must be invested seriously. Please take care."

Ivankov walked quickly forward and stuffed a bulging small pocket into the vampire baron's hand. The latter took a look and saw that it was full of chips, which made him happy. This night was finally no longer boring.

As an immortal vampire, he always has some hobbies to fight against boredom. Unfortunately, the baron likes the thrill of killing everyone at the gambling table.

As the saying goes, everyone has weaknesses, we just need to treat them accordingly.

Ivankov calculated the time, and when the shareholders' meeting was about to end, he took a sip of wine and prepared to get up and go to the stage to put a perfect end to the grand event tonight.

But just as he was leaving the lounge, he received a message from the casino's mountain security guards:

"A man claiming to be your brother is causing trouble outside the casino and wants to see you, sir."

"Who?"

Ivankov blinked in surprise and asked:

"My brother?"

"Yes, he said he was your brother, but he looked nothing like you. The brothers thought he was a fraud trying to curry favor with someone as powerful as you, so they were ready to throw him out, but he brought his wife and children with him."

The mountain security chief said helplessly:
"Boss Huo asked us to pay attention to our image and not bully men or women, so this matter is up to you to decide."

"It's not normal. I'm a lowly illegitimate child. How can I be compared with a legitimate eldest son like Anton?"

Ivankov sneered and wanted to send his "brother" away, but then he changed his mind and said:
"Please invite them to my room in the hotel first. I will go see them after this is over."
