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

Arriving at Rockface's mansion again, this time Han Xiao met Rockface alone. The two sat opposite each other, and the servants served refreshments and drinks.

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

"My time is valuable, if you have any requests, just ask."

Han Xiao put down the cup, leaned forward, and said: "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 is time to expand and increase the size.

I have the reputation of Emersy on my shoulders, so I can’t continue to fight in small ways. The structure of large legions like Sky Ring and Blade is the direction of Black Star’s construction. The stronger the field force, the stronger Dragon Calm, so I need some financial support.

, set up a base camp dedicated to the mercenary group, rather than a rented temporary stronghold."

The core goal of his early preparation plan for version 2.0 is to expand the camp, and then guide Aquamarine players to join the mercenary group during the Alienation Disaster. Gedora and Dark Star are both competitors. Originally, players only need to join the two.

Choose one camp, and Han Xiao wants to intervene 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 arise one after another. If you want to accommodate thousands of players, the camp's hardware facilities need to be significantly upgraded, otherwise it will not be able to receive and attract more members.

The most critical factor in attracting players is benefits. Even if Roubao’s program cultivates a large number of audiences who yearn for mercenary groups, it is difficult to generate electricity with love for a long time, so the mission resources provided to players are crucial, and Han Xiao has already known this.

The plan was to establish the mercenary group in the first place to become a middleman for task release, connecting employers and players, and thereby borrowing the almost endless task resources in the mercenary world to cultivate their own camp, retain players, form camp attraction, and accumulate

The best is the reputation of the mercenary group.

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

In addition to mission resources, another focus is on camp specialties. In addition to the professional knowledge and skills of the big money-drawer, mechanical creation is naturally its specialty. However, it is impossible to complete large-volume orders based on its own production capacity, so mass production must be considered.

Question, start assembling the assembly line and build your own military factory... With the current knowledge and manufacturing level, it is barely feasible to build an assembly line.

This leads to the second question, where should the assembly line be placed? If so many players are admitted, the mercenary group must have a huge, fixed, and exclusive stronghold, equivalent to the main city of the camp, otherwise it will not be conducive to cultivating belonging.

I feel that only if you have your own "main city" can you be like a regular army. Even those who are professional guerrilla fighters still pay attention to surrounding the city with rural areas, and the location, security, resources, functions, etc. of the stronghold are all problems.

Therefore, the third question naturally arises, transportation! Since the number of members under his command has increased sharply, travel is a problem. It is not conducive to maintain the popularity of the main city, so there must be a camp-exclusive

spaceship...or reach a long-term cooperation agreement with some interstellar travel groups.

These are just basic questions, and there are many piecemeal 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 business scope, you need to make a lot of preparations, everything is required.

Spend money.

Including Nagojin's remuneration, Han Xiao still has more than 500,000 Inar in his savings. A few days ago, he counted it on his fingers and felt that this small amount of money was too small. It was a bit painful to use his own wallet. Therefore, at this time, he

Visiting Rockface, in layman's terms, is to attract investment.

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

"Amers never takes care of things. You should understand this. I am the head of the field force. This is a plan I am preparing myself." Han Xiao said.

"I guess it's not what she had in mind..." Rockface changed his posture and looked more aura, fully demonstrating his confidence that money means a man, and said with a half-smile: "Then how much do you want?"

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

Rockface immediately changed the subject, "So far, I have provided nine grants to Dragon Calm, with a total of about 24 million innars. This will not be the final number. I still have the intention to invest in Dragon Calm.

, Jenny and I are old acquaintances, and the returns she gives are the reason why I insist on investing. Enjoying the reputation of Emers allows me to earn satisfactory profits from other channels."

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

By investing in Dragon Calm, he obtained some kind of permission from Jenny, the chief executive, to share part of Emersy's influence, and then used it to carry out business negotiations or political activities. It was equivalent to exchanging investment for the influence of a powerful person, and then using influence

If you try hard to make money, you will only earn much more than the amount of investment. So the question is, investing in Dragon Calm headquarters can only get this kind of return, why invest in Dragon Calm's field troops, and this is only Han Dynasty.

Xiao's personal plan, if it was Emersy's intention, he would only give the money, Black Star... the face is not that great.

Do you want something in return? Han Xiao smiled and suddenly said: "You must have some information about me, so you must know that I have some immortal warriors under my command."

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

"They are natural mercenaries. Their numbers are far greater than you can imagine. And I know all of them. Expanding the scale is naturally not only about infrastructure, but also about increasing the number of members. I don't need to hire other mercenaries in the free market. They are me.

If you invest in the object you like, I can quickly expand the scale and join a large mercenary group. At that time, I will give you a satisfactory return. Even if you have Jenny's permission, sometimes Dragon Calm's combat troops need to show up in person.

Help you convince your competitors, or is it a large mercenary group that is willing to accept your free employment privately?"

Han Xiao selectively disclosed part of the situation to convince investors that the project prospects must be described. Although there is a stock market in the interstellar world, a mercenary group is far from reaching the entry threshold, so naturally it is not qualified to be a free hand.

And he is not afraid of leaking the existence of players. Players will join StarCraft sooner or later, and everyone will know about it. And during the version update period, even if he tells Rockface some information, the other party can't do anything, because now there is not even a player's

Can't find any hair!

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

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

Rockface was hesitant, lost in thought, and was silent. Han Xiao's proposal made him somewhat interested. It might be a good project to help Dragon Calm build field troops, but although Black Star is also a member of Dragon Calm, his trust level 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. The head of this large consortium acted vigorously and resolutely.

"I won't give you funding."

"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, four million innars, with a term of three years. For the sake of Long Calm, I will give you a simple interest rate, and you can repay it within one year.

I won’t charge you interest. If you repay it within one year and within two years, I will charge you 10% interest, which is 400,000. If you repay it within two years and within three years, I will charge you 20% interest, which is 800,000. For more than three years, I will charge you 20% interest, which is 800,000.

Forty percent, 1.6 million, this is my condition."

Han Xiao twitched his mouth. The interest rate is a bit explosive. It’s fine within one year. But if it exceeds three years, it’s almost like a loan shark. This is because he has a Dragon Calm background as a guarantee. Locke Fee

Si was willing to lend money.

Being rich is really...

"Okay, I agree."

Han Xiao nodded. He was not worried about repaying the money. Version 2.0 will open within a year. As long as the players return, they will probably have a brain cramp counting the money!

Not to mention repaying the money, even if we buy the Norios Consortium, we... ahem, I'm excited, we still can't afford this.

Rockface took out his communicator and pointed out a loan document, which both parties signed. This document has legal effect and is backed up in the files of many civilizations he is familiar with. It is protected by the laws of these civilizations. In the past life, there were players in the player guild who were corrupt.

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 the personal identity is reduced, and it is no longer possible to borrow money, and in serious cases, repayment

Will become a wanted criminal.

If a guild wants to get a loan, it has to put a lot of effort into improving its relationship with the faction. If it doesn't repay the money, all the relationships it has accumulated will be lost. As long as a guild has a vision, it will not commit acts of breaking the contract that encourage short-sightedness.

Han Xiao has no intention of breaking the contract.

Ding……

Han Xiao received the transfer to his account and took a look at it. The amount of the deposit suddenly became "4,581,010".

Rockface was very generous with his money. He was a rich man who could use more than seven million to buy sky-high price jewelry. For him, this small investment was just a small thing.

But for Han Xiao at this time, it was a huge amount of starting capital.

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

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

.

"I really got the investment. It seems that the influence of the camp is more important than I thought. With the start-up capital, I just need to choose a good place to start building the base camp... Well, which planet is better?

It’s not far from Aquamarine Star, but it needs to be closely connected with the stars..."

Toot toot…

While I was thinking about it, the communicator suddenly rang. Jenny, the chief supervisor, sent a message. She had a bad expression on her face, and her first sentence after receiving the call was a question:

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

"Jenny, will you agree?"

"Don't call me Jenny, you should call me the chief supervisor. Of course I won't agree." Jenny's tone was decisive. She always insisted on the approach of settling in a corner. In her opinion, building a field force was an unnecessary expense. Emersy never agreed.

Too strong an armed force is needed.

"Then what else should I tell you to do?" Han Xiao spread his hands. He knew Jenny. Jenny is in charge of finance and business and has a strong desire for control. She would not agree to the expansion of the field force. Although they are cadres in the same camp, their concepts and business are different.

There is a conflict.

Of course, the core conflict is that Jenny doesn't trust him enough. After all, he only joined Dragon Calm's mercenaries halfway.
Chapter completed!
