Doomsday Totem

Chapter 438 Relationships
While thinking, Hagrid and Quinn returned to the commercial street of Sandcastle, and came to a small building on the corner of the street.

There are two dilapidated wooden signs hanging in front of the building, the lower one is neatly written with "Ralph's Bakery", and the upper one is crookedly written with "Ceres Investment Co., Ltd".The paint on the second piece is new, but the old lettering on the bottom is still faintly visible.If you look carefully, you will find the words "Love Hotel".Speaking of which, these big characters were written by Quinn, so it is reasonable to be ugly.

Walking up to the second floor of the small building and knocking on the door, a woman with brown hair, black pupils, and an oversized frame came out.She is graceful and charming, a perfect beauty.Her name is Sirius Hiros, the fourth lady of the Hiros family in Shacheng, the chairman, ECO and clerk of Sirius Investment Co., Ltd....

Zhao Wenke said before that the partner of cooperation should try to find a shell company with a deep foundation, which is conducive to control and development.However, it was the first time he had seen such a complete company from an empty shell.Except for the necessary business procedures, the entire asset of Sirius Investment Co., Ltd. is a briefcase containing documents, and the entire staff is the woman in front of me.

"The light bulb is not working, come and fix it." The first sentence Sirius Heros met was similar to debt collection.

Hagrid winked at Quinn, who rolled his eyes helplessly, shook his head, and then walked into the house to check the broken light bulb.

Looking around, the office furnishings are very simple, an old desk, an executive chair, a bookcase, two filing cabinets, one long and two short, patched canvas sofas and wooden coffee tables.The most valuable thing in the whole office is the executive chair, which is made of Tianshan snow cowhide, which is very valuable, and it was specially airlifted by Sirius from home.She can't sit anywhere but this executive chair.

After Hagrid came in, she leaned back on the executive chair, raised her slender legs, and put her high-heeled shoes on the table.

"Handsome, what's the matter?" Sirius crossed his arms and asked Hagrid sideways.

"Do you have any plans for the mineral fair tomorrow?" Hagrid asked.On NO.15 of every month, Sandcastle will hold a mine trade fair, where some neutral mines will be auctioned.However, this step is mostly a formal operation, because without the support of the fortress, the mine cannot be opened.

According to the practice of Silver City World, the mines within a [-]-kilometer radius of the fortress have to pay [-]% of the "defense tax" to the fortress. If the fortress deliberately does not support the protection of the mines, then in peacetime, the mines will be Taxes have to be paid in vain, and in times of war, they will be given up first.Therefore, the mine sites within a hundred kilometers of the fort are generally photographed by the fort.However, incidents of malicious competition also occur from time to time. Some investment companies deliberately photograph the mines of hostile forces, and then deliberately do not develop them.It's just that this kind of "injury with the foundation" approach, unless there is a deep hatred, very few businessmen will do it.

"Look at the actual situation~" Sirius said lazily.

Seeing the casual attitude of the fourth young lady of the Heros family, Hagrid only felt a vein throbbing in his forehead.Not long after, the light bulb flickered and lit up.Quinn returned to the office and said the fuse had blown.

"It's so shabby here~" Sirius drew his voice and glanced at Hagrid.

"When the matter of the mine is settled, I will arrange decoration for you," Hagrid said.

"I need a large bathroom, preferably with a steam bath function." Sirius demanded.

"Okay..." Hagrid said, scratching his hair.

"Also, it's not safe here, send me a few more guards." Sirius continued to ask.

"Quinn, you will stay here from now on and be fully responsible for the safety of Miss Heros." Hagrid said to Quinn.

"This...well..." Quinn hesitated for a while, seeing Hagrid's increasingly fierce gaze, he had no choice but to agree.

In the morning of the next day, the third floor of the Sandcastle City Hall was bustling, with merchants of all sizes crowded the trading hall of the mine.Hagrid, Sirius, and Quinn came to the lobby early in the morning and took a seat in the front row.At present, Mu Yulinglan has taken down the mine near the Storm Fortress, and it will be put into production as soon as the fortress is completed.

However, Haige and others had just completed their registration, and the mines near the "Chifeng Fortress" under construction had not had time to obtain the mining rights.However, according to the practice of the No. 60 desert, within the fan-shaped area within [-]km southeast of the Chifeng Fortress, all mining sites belong to the jurisdiction of the fortress, and generally no one will come to fight for it.

However, after the mine auction started, the situation changed.Originally, no one cared about the mines near the Chifeng Fortress, but this time they were extremely sought-after, and the auction prices kept rising.For such an abnormal phenomenon, Hagrid chose to wait and see what happened and did not participate in the auction.

By noon, five metal mines, three coal mines, and two spiritual mines near Chifeng Fortress were snapped up.There are a total of five companies competing for the right to mine the mine, namely "Sakata Industry", "Sequoia Investment Co., Ltd.", "Beile Foundation", "Red Scorpion Corps", and "Green Bee Mobile Corps".

After browsing their profiles, Hagrid knew what they wanted to do.The fortresses of these five companies are all near the Chifeng Fortress. The purpose of their rush to buy the mines is to include these mines in the scope of their fortresses before the Chifeng Fortress is put into use.In this way, they can not only get the protection of Chifeng Fortress, but also don't have to pay taxes to Chifeng Fortress.

Immediately after the auction, Sirius submitted a written protest to the Fengsha Castle Town Hall in the name of the investor of the Chifeng Fortress.

"Go back and wait." The clerk of the city hall casually threw the report on the pile of folders and said casually.Seeing this, Hagrid couldn't help frowning.I'm afraid that by the time this report was submitted, the other party's approval had already come down.At that time, it will be too late to say anything.However, unlike Mu Yulinglan, who have Notre Dame Cathedral and NO.13 Yincheng behind them, their social relationship in Sandcastle is limited to the bottom layer, lacking the relationship between the middle and upper classes.

"Do you want to discuss it with Mu Yuqin?" Sirius asked in a low voice.

Hagrid shook his head, and said we can discuss it later.Before coming here, Zhao Wenke repeatedly told him not to rely on the relationship of Notre Dame, otherwise he would have to let them slaughter him in the future.

"These vampires want money, right?" Quinn said indignantly as soon as he walked out of the city hall, looking back at the plaque and badge above.

"We are not familiar with them, even if they want money, they may not dare to take it from us." Sirius said.

"Hmm..." Hagrid nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Your Heros family, don't you have any relationship in this regard?"

"Hmm..." Sirius looked at the reddish sky of Desert No. [-] and thought for a while, then said uncertainly, "I remember... I seem to have a distant cousin who works in the Sandcastle Taxation Bureau, I can Try to contact him..."

"Then I'll leave it to you," said Hagrid.

Just when several people were worrying about the mining site, Mu Yuqinxin received an unexpected video communication in the No. 13 Yincheng Temple of Prayer for Rain.

"Miss Qin Xin, good afternoon." William smiled slightly, showing two rows of white teeth, and bowed to greet her.

"Lord William, good afternoon." Mu Yuqin said doubtfully.In her memory, she didn't seem to have any intersection with this Reinhardt's first in line heir.

"Excuse me..." She hesitated for a while and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I have long heard that Miss Qin Xin is both talented and beautiful. When I saw her today, she is indeed very graceful. No wonder it can make that guy Brian fascinated." William said with a smile.

"Thank you." Mu Yuqin accepted the compliment generously.If it were someone else, she might not even lift her eyelids, but the person in front of her was the Temple Ziqiangwei, and the words that came out of his mouth carried a lot of weight.

"In order to express my admiration, I would like to give a small gift." William suddenly changed the subject and said.

"I'm sorry, I only like women." Mu Yuqin refused flatly.

"Why don't you listen first..." William blinked and said meaningfully, "What is the gift?"

"Oh? Please tell me." Mu Yuqin made a gesture of invitation.

"Some time ago, I bought a set of power armor at the auction of the Princess Mansion, which seems to be called Wilderness or something..." Mu Yuqin interrupted William before he could finish speaking.

"I want it," she said.

"It's already on its way." William nodded slightly.

"Thank you." Then, Mu Yuqin thought about it and added, "I owe you a favor."

"Ah? What does this have to do with you?" William asked blankly.

"What?" Mu Yuqin was even more confused.

"I'm sorry, I only like men." After a moment of silence, William suddenly froze and said seriously, and hung up the communication immediately after speaking.

Mu Yuqin's heart was stunned for a while, and then she gradually figured out the twists and turns...
