Last Totem Novel - Chapter 436
Chapter 436 Relationship
In the blink of an eye, Hagrid and Quinn returned to the main street of Windsand Castle and arrived at a small building on the corner.
In front of the building hung two tattered wooden plates, one neatly marked “Ralph’s Bakery” and the other with “Cyrus Investment Co., Ltd.” The second piece of paint was new, and the old words at the bottom were still faintly visible. If you look carefully, you will find the words “Love Hotel”. Speaking of which, these words were written by Quinn, so it was reasonable for them to be ugly.
He walked up to the second floor of the small building and knocked on the door. A woman with brown hair, black pupils, and a large skeleton came out to greet him. Her figure was graceful, her appearance charming, and she was a perfect beauty. Her name is Syris Syros, the fourth young miss of the Syros family in Sha Cheng, the chairman of Syris Investment Co., Ltd. And the ECO and clerk …
Previously, Zhao Wenke had said that the partner should try to find a shell company with a deep foundation, which was beneficial to control and development. However, this was the first time he had seen such a thorough company. Apart from the necessary business procedures, Syris Investment Co., Ltd. ‘s entire assets were a briefcase filled with documents, and the entire staff was the woman in front of him.
“The light bulb is not lit. Quickly come and repair it.” The first thing Syris Syros said was like asking for a debt.
Hagrid winked at Quinn, who rolled his eyes helplessly, shook his head, and walked into the room to examine the broken light bulb.
Looking around, the furnishings of the office were very simple, an old desk, a large chair, a bookcase, two file cabinets and a long, short, patched canvas sofa and wooden coffee table. The most valuable thing in the entire office was the large chair. It was made of Tianshan Snow Cow Leather. It was very expensive and Syris had specially flown it over from his home. She won’t sit anywhere except in this big chair.
When Hagrid came in, she leaned back on the chair, crossed her long legs, and put her high heels on the table.
“Handsome, what’s the matter?” Syris crossed his chest and looked at Hagrid sideways.
“Do you have any plans for tomorrow’s mineral trade fair?” Hagrid asked. On the 15th of every month, the Sand Wind Castle would hold a ore fair and take out some neutral ore for auction. However, this step was mostly a formal operation, because without the support of the stronghold, the mine could not be opened.
According to the Silver City world’s convention, the mines within a radius of 100 kilometers of the fortress had to pay 10% of the “defense tax” to the fortress. If the fortress deliberately did not support the protection of the mines, the mines would have to pay taxes for nothing in peacetime, and in war time, they would be given priority to abandon the fortress. Therefore, the mines within a hundred kilometers of the stronghold were usually photographed by the stronghold. However, malicious competition also occurred from time to time. Some investment companies deliberately auctioned off the mines of hostile forces and then deliberately did not develop them. However, unless there was a deep hatred, very few businessmen would do such a thing.
“It depends on the situation ~” Syris said lazily.
Hagrid felt the veins on his forehead twitch when he saw the casual manner of the fourth young miss of the Xerox family. Not long after, the light bulb flashed and lit up. Quinn went back to his office and said the fuse had burned.
“This place is so shabby ~” Syris stretched out his voice and looked at Hagrid.
“I’ll arrange the decoration for you when the matter of the mine is settled.” Hagrid said.
“I need a big bathroom. I’d better bring a steam bath with me.” Syris asked.
“Alright” Hagrid scratched his hair and said.
“Also, it’s not safe here. Send me a few more guards.” Syris continued to ask.
“Quinn, stay here in the future and take full responsibility for Miss Xerox’s safety.” Hagrid said to Quinn.
“This” Quinn hesitated for a moment, then looked at Hagrid’s increasingly fierce gaze and agreed.
The next morning, the third floor of Sandstorm Castle City Hall was bustling with merchants, big and small, packed with ore trading halls. Hagrid, Syris, and Quinn arrived in the hall early in the morning and occupied a seat in the front row. Currently, Mu Yu Ling Lan had already taken down the mines near the Storm Stronghold. He could only wait for the completion of the stronghold before putting it into production.
Hagrid and the others had just finished registering, and the mines near the Red Peak Stronghold they were building had yet to obtain mining rights. However, according to the convention of Desert 5, within the fan-shaped area 60 km southeast of Chifeng Stronghold, the ore spots were all under the jurisdiction of the stronghold, and generally no one would fight for them.
However, the situation changed after the start of the mine auction. Originally, no one was interested in the mines near Chifeng Stronghold, but this time, they were extremely popular, and the auction price was rising steadily. Hagrid chose to wait and see what was happening and did not participate in the auction.
By noon, five metal mines, three coal mines, and two spirit mines near Chifeng Stronghold had been snapped up. There were five companies competing for the mining rights: Sakata Industries, Sequoia Investment Co., Ltd., Belle Foundation, Red Scorpion Legion, and Azure Bee Mobile Corps.
After browsing through their information, Hagrid knew what they were up to. The strongholds of these five companies were all located near Chifeng Stronghold. The purpose of their purchase was to bring these mines into the scope of their strongholds before Chifeng Stronghold was put into use. In this way, they would be able to obtain the protection of Chifeng Stronghold without paying taxes to Chifeng Stronghold. It could be said that they were trying their best to snatch food from the tiger’s mouth.
After the auction ended, Syris immediately submitted a written protest to the Wind Sand Castle City Hall on behalf of the Crimson Peak Stronghold investors.
“You guys go back and wait.” The City Hall clerk casually said as he casually tossed the report into a high pile of folders. Hagrid couldn’t help but frown when he saw this. I’m afraid that by the time this report was submitted, the other party’s approval had already come down. At that time, it was too late to say anything. However, unlike Mu Yu Ling Lan, they were backed by Notre Dame and Number 13 Silver City. Their social relations in Sand Wind Castle were limited to the bottom, and they lacked the connections between the upper and middle classes.
“Do you want to discuss it with Muyu Qinxin?” Cyrus asked softly.
Hagrid shook his head and said he would discuss it when he got back. Before coming here, Zhao Wenke had repeatedly warned him not to rely on the relationship between Notre Dame, or else they would have to slaughter him in the future.
“These vampires want money, don’t they?” Just as he walked out of the city hall, Quinn turned around to look at the plaque and badge above and said indignantly.
“We are not familiar with them. Even if they want money, they may not dare to take us.” Syris said.
‘”Well” Hagrid nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, “Is there no connection between the Seelosses?”
‘”Hmm …” Syris looked at the pale red sky of Desert Five for a while and said uncertainly, “I remember … I seem to have a distant cousin working for the Sandstorm Castle Revenue Department. I can try to contact him …”
“Then I’ll leave it to you.” Hagrid said.
Just as they were worried about the mine, Mu Yuqinxin received an unexpected video communication from the Rain Prayer Temple in Silver City No. 13.
“Good afternoon, Miss Qinxin.” William smiled slightly, revealing two rows of white teeth. He bowed and greeted.
“Good afternoon, Lord William.” Mu Yuqin said doubtfully. In her memory, she did not seem to have any intersection with the first in line to succeed Reinhart.
“Excuse me …” She hesitated for a moment and asked, “What can I do for you?”
“I’ve long heard that Miss Qinxin is both talented and beautiful. When I saw her today, she was indeed graceful. No wonder that guy Bryan was mesmerized.” William said with a smile.
“Thank you.” Mu Yuqin accepted the compliment generously. If it was anyone else, she might not even raise her eyelids, but the person in front of her was Violet Rose of the Temple. The words that came out of his mouth carried a lot of weight.
“In order to express my admiration, I want to give you a small gift.” William suddenly changed the topic and said.
“Sorry, I only like women.” Mu Yuqin refused without hesitation.
“Why don’t you listen first” William blinked his eyes and said meaningfully, “What is the present?”
“Oh? Please tell me.” Mu Yuqinxin made a gesture of invitation.
Before William could finish speaking, Mu Yuqinxin interrupted him, “I bought a set of power armor at the auction in the Princess’ Mansion a while ago. It looks like it’s called the Wilderness or something …”
“I want it.” She said.
“It’s already on its way over.” William nodded slightly.
“Thank you.” Then, Mu Yuqinxin thought for a moment and added, “I owe you a favor.”
“Ah? What does this have to do with you?” William asked blankly.
“What?” Mu Yuqin’s heart was even more confused.
“Sorry, I only like men.” After a moment of silence, William’s expression suddenly froze. He said seriously and immediately hung up the communication.
Mu Yuqin’s heart froze for a while before she gradually understood the twists and turns …
This time, he went back and knelt to the point where his knees were purple. Originally, the uncles understood that I grew up in the city, so they weren’t used to it. They just said that they would bend their knees. But on second thought, he felt that he had written this book and advocated ancestral worship, but he had taken advantage of it. He was a bit sorry to everyone, so he knelt down firmly and kowtowed down.
After being busy for more than ten days, things finally came to an end. However, because the biological clock had not been adjusted properly, there was not enough rest these days. On average, they only slept for a few hours a day. On the last day, the heavens suddenly spun and the earth spun, and he was unable to cope with a single illness.
Ai …
In the future, you must adjust your schedule, strengthen your exercise, write books during the day and sleep at night, otherwise your body will collapse.
In addition, Silver City’s world outlook had been fully unfolded, and various forces had emerged one after another. New and old faces were about to appear on the stage.
Inside, there were many contradictions, and outside, there were swarms of bees and insects eyeing covetously. The demons were waiting for an opportunity to move.
All of them disturbed, fighting endlessly, a pot of dragon and snake chowder, a piece of Central Plains dispute, it was the time for the heroes to rise together.
