Astartes of the Bear School Chapter 330

Chapter 330 329. Bankers who are greedy for petty gains

 Lan En felt quite fresh when he signed the contract. This was the first time he signed a formal contract, and after the signing was completed, he became a shareholder of a commodity trading company.

When the three people signed the contract in duplicate, the crowd in front of the bank gate suddenly burst into loud cheers.

Immediately afterwards, Lan En and the other two people symbolically raised the signed contract to show it to the outside, and then they could leave.

 This is just a signing meeting announced to the public. These businessmen really want to confirm the performance and commercial value of Valyrian steel. Arethusa College will arrange a special visit schedule for them.

 Because of the existence of magic, a productivity that transcends the times, the business model of this world is also much more advanced than the world without magic at the same time.

 Lane returned to Aretussa with Margarita and Silodon.

 Shillerton, as the operations manager, came to pay the first door-to-door visit to the shareholders he will serve in the future.

His status is different from Lan En's, and he is not qualified to enter the upper level of Arethusa Academy, so this meeting was limited to the Rosha Palace on the first floor.

This is not a shame. After all, in the past, even those who received envoys from kings of various countries would stay on this level.

 It was also the first time for Sillerton to come to this world-renowned magic academy, and he expressed an appropriate degree of shock and admiration.

 “O Arethusa, Arethusa, the pearl of magic.”

The dwarf sighed loudly in an arilike tone.

As the host, Margarita showed understanding and approval.

If these words were spoken from a human mouth, it would sound grandiose. However, most of the impressions given by dwarves are very emotional, so when these exaggerated words came out of the dwarf's mouth, it made people feel that they were sincere.

 Magic is undoubtedly the high-end productivity in this world, and the magic usage rate in Arethusa College is also undoubtedly the top in the world.

The lighting fixtures scattered throughout the corridor are amazing enough in this era.

 After all, in Lian Foltest's palace, people still have to light a candle with a candlestick at night when convenient.

 In Aretusa, even though the buildings are complex and tortuous, and the decorations are gorgeous and complicated, none of these factors can affect the indoor light.

 Sufficient and long-lasting light source is a symbol of wealth and ability in this era.

 But Lan En could still feel that the dwarf was actually not as shocked as he showed.

 The facial muscles and bone structure of dwarves are very different from humans.

In the memory of the gene-seed, the Emperor's Children can easily arouse the emotions of tens of thousands of spectators in public. They are very good at discerning the subtle emotions hidden behind people's numb faces.

From Lan En's observation, the dwarf banker was indeed impressed, but it was far from being shocked.

It seems that even dwarves, who are known for their straightforward temper and fiery temper, will naturally become 'adapted' after becoming a qualified banker and living in human countries for a long time.

Lan doesn't hate this kind of behavior, because it means that Schileton cares about the feelings of shareholders and is willing to expend energy to let his emotional intelligence come into play.

"This is my current market plan. We should ship a small amount first, entrust famous craftsmen to make a batch of powerful swords and armors with Valyrian steel, and then put them up for auction in various places as high-quality weapons. Okay, come up with a name. Because the output the academy can provide is really not that much, we can't use mass distribution to market and impact the market, so we can only take the high-end publicity route."

"Nobles and big businessmen are all good at discerning goods. When they realize that these high-quality weapons are only made of fine craftsmanship, but the basic performance is supported by the steel itself, they naturally want to upgrade their armed forces for business opportunities and upgrades. Will start contacting us."    Thileton explained to the two laymen naturally and skillfully.

This is not the first time he has been an operations manager. In his young life of nearly a hundred years old, he has successfully run four or five businesses with the resources of the Giancardi family, one of which is even in Novi. Gray has a head office.

 He ​​is well aware of the potential and prospects of Valyrian steel. He plans to treat this industry as his lifelong industry, so he has prepared for a long time in advance.

 Lan and Margarita nodded repeatedly.

Thileton happily took a sip of the black tea on the table and put the gifts that Aretussa gave to the guests into his pocket.

It is a small pendant-style amulet. It is of little use. It is used to slightly enhance immunity. It can probably ward off seasonal colds.

Although it is not cheap outside the academy, within the academy, most of the trial works of apprentices in enchantment and alchemy courses will be placed here.

So the living room prepared a lot of these things and put them into exquisite glass boxes. They were padded with small cashmere pillows and placed on the table. They were clearly presented as small gifts.

"The general idea is this. Our products are unique and far exceed the average level of products on the market today. So there is no need for those too troublesome intrigues. Publicity, as long as we promote it, we won't worry about no one coming to buy it. Everything in the early stage The strategy is all for publicity.”

 The conversation ended quickly, as is usually the case with meetings between shareholders and managers.

 Managers explain the business philosophy and specific directions, shareholders find it feasible, and then implement them. With regular reporting and regular audits, a force with a long history like Aretusa naturally has its own financial team.

  After shaking hands with Margarita and Lan warmly and bidding farewell one by one, Siledon couldn't wait to get out of the academy and show off his talents in the mall.

Looking at the back of the red-bearded dwarf, who was in high spirits and seemed to be ready for a big fight at any time, Lan En touched his chin.

“This guy seems to have taken several small gifts just now. After all, he is a manager of a big bank, but he is habitually taking advantage of small things?”

After the outsiders left, Margarita's dignity and seriousness suddenly collapsed.

 She waved her hand, and the illusion on Lan En was canceled.

She came closer and slid her fingertips ambiguously on the outline of Lan En's armor while speaking casually.

"It must be a quirk, right? The sequelae of overeating are often experienced by nobles and businessmen. I also heard that the director of a large chamber of commerce in Novigrad often steals things, although the total amount of those things is not as much as his errands. A meal costs a lot, but he just likes it. He has to use a wooden spoon to eat every meal."

“But Siledon is usually very generous. Before the business was settled, he took the initiative to raise the interest rate on our account.”

 “Okay, I don't quite understand this quirk. Besides.”

Lan En glanced sideways at the sorceress who was close to him, then put a finger on her tender cheek and pushed it out.

"Can you calm down for a while? I've been out for a long time. Can we deal with the backlog of things at once before talking about anything else?"

“How do I feel that you are the one whose hormone secretion was modified by the Trial of Green Grass?”
