Chapter 467
"Dinner?"
Several waiters in the box on the second floor opened the door, cleaned up the mess and chessboard on the table, and then closed the door neatly , As if never been here.
The only one who stayed in place was the smiling President Clement.
"Yes, every month, our store organizes a dinner on the third and fourth layer here to welcome the guests who visit our store-in addition to the usual banquets, there will be food, wine, and opera performances. In addition, there are many special'small activities'."
"For example..." Under the glittering lights, Loren's mouth had a formulaic smile and a somewhat curious mouth. Asked.
Just as Clermont said the same thing, he saw the "black-framed glasses" with a numb expression beside him, and there was a look of fear on his face.
Although it was only a moment, he still caught it.
"For example, for small auctions, there are still many interesting baubles in this store, but you can't find them elsewhere." Clermont was very enthusiastic and introduced, as if he was really thinking about both of them:
"In addition, we will also provide 200,000 Silver Coin chips for every guest who visits-it is an interest-free loan and does not require any collateral. It can be returned at any time... Of course, the premise is You can’t leave the shop."
"Almost all the guests who come here are the noble and rich people in Imperial Capital...With these loans, you can buy anything from them, even the money Give loans to those Chamber of Commerce unions, and they will be happy to accept it!"
Loren nodded, understand what the other party means...low-cost loans, and then add interest to lend to those who really need it. This is the last life The usual routines of those private banks and financial fraudsters.
The only difference is that the former is doing loan sharking to make the difference; the latter’s hands are all white bars, and there is absolutely no dime.
"Of course, you can also gamble with other guests at the banquet-all the chips you win are yours. You can rest assured."
A gleam in President Lemon's eyes: "With these chips as a gambler, you can pay off the debt for Miss Lena faster, can't you?"
The corner of the black hair wizard's eyes A flash of surprise, he saw the numb-looking "black-rimmed glasses" firmly grasping his skirt with his hands, moving so hard that he was about to tear the lace on it.
Loren, who pretended not to see, squinted slightly, and made an indifferent expression:
"Food, wine, auction...forgive me to speak bluntly, listen to these things It looks very tempting; but unfortunately, it doesn’t appeal to me much anymore."
"It’s too late today. If you continue to procrastinate, even if you can win a few people, you can win. I have won two hundred and fifty thousand Silver Coin...even if I can double it, and I still have three quarters to pay off all my debts, why bother in one night?" black hair wizard shrugged, lack of interest Looks like:
"Thank you for your kind invitation, President Clermont, but the two of us really don’t have so much energy... Right, Miss Lena from'Dear'?"
"Oh...Yes."
I saw the black hair wizard who looked back and frowned, staring at me, and emphasized the tone of the black hair wizard; I noticed some "black frame glasses" I also shrugged: "I'm really tired. I want to find a place where I can rest with Your Excellency Loren for a night."
Puff——! ! ! !
Loren, with twitching cheeks, almost vomited blood, but the girl in front of her was still painless and itchy, as if she was not the one who just said that.
I was really wrong, this "black frame glasses" is 10,000 times worse than Isaac!
Chairman Clermont, who was originally smiling, was dumbfounded, staring at the two people dumbfounded...Although Miss Lena is just a side branch of the Desalion family, if she does that without permission from the Imperial Family It's...
It's worthy of being the wizard consultant of the "shameful prince". This courage has already broken through Skyrim!
But fortunately, he has not forgotten the most important mission of this trip; forcibly pretending to hear nothing, very mysteriously whispered:
"If I say …Can you pay off the debts for Miss Lena tonight, and even make a lot of money?"
The expressions of the two changed almost at the same time!
"Oh...?"
The black hair wizard gradually understood in his heart, but there was a curious smile on the corner of his mouth: "You should be joking, that's two hundred Ten thousand-replaced by Lotaire's Shenlinbao count, the four years of all taxes may not have this figure."
"Farmers earn money by blood and sweat, warriors earn rewards by swords, and nobles have The family is glorious, the wizard has Supreme wisdom, and the believers are blessed by the Holy Cross..."
Clermont of mutter incantations, the smile on his face became more and more mysterious: "And us unremarkable little businessmen... We can only rely on honesty."
"In order to invite you, I have bet all my credit for several decades with your business partners; naturally, every word I say to you is It is the integrity that I have accumulated over several decades; integrity is a virtual thing, once it is punctured once, it is worthless."
"So you can rest assured, I will definitely not lie to you!"
Clermont solemnly vowed, bowing to the two very humbly.
"Since you have said so..." The black hair wizard sighed then said with a helpless expression: "I have no choice. Please explain."
At that moment, a sneer flashed through Loren's heart.
Sincere words, "truth" without the slightest lie, solemnly vowed and extremely sincere attitude... They are all the most familiar and commonly used routines.
There are roughly two ways of deceiving people in this world-first is to cheat with oneself, because there are too many smart people, but the smarter they are, the more they believe in their own judgments. Once they are sure that the other party has not lied, No more doubts.
Of course, if it is fake, there is a risk of being exposed.
Second is the so-called "truth", which is often generalized, or only tells the other party the incomplete truth; in the case of unequal information, even if it is really fooled, it may not react in the end , Or I don’t dare to criticize the other party when I understand it.
The price is that people who have been cheated once by you will never forget.
Fake is fake, deceit is deceit, how can it not pay any price?
"Big gambling."
The wrinkles on the smiling Clermont face are squeezed into a ball: "This is a monthly event; we will specially invite some distinguished persons , Or a lavish guest who pays a lot of attention to gamble in gold coins."
"The minimum price for each time is five thousand gold coins, and the exchange rate is one hundred thousand silver at the Imperial Capital exchange rate. Coin, East Sackland and the rest of Duchy cost 150,000!"
"So what, is that if you can win one million Silver Coin in one game, it's not the same if you can't win." The black hair wizard deliberately coldly snorted:
"It’s definitely not an ordinary person who dares to participate in this level of gambling, right?"
"That’s the case. One of the very best tycoons of the Empire, the eldest son of the chairman of the Duchy Minerals Guild of Byrne, and the youngest son. Gold mines, there are more than one third metallurgical and transportation industries. The governor of the Empire in Bayne Duchy and their family are also related by marriage; not to mention two million, even if it costs 10 million, the little Lord Yod, it may not be taken. Can’t come out!"
"He has swept through several casinos and Sand Dragon since he came to Imperial Capital, but in fact, this Young Master doesn’t have any skills, and he drowns his opponent with money! The gamblers who couldn’t afford to be equal to him, and even less able to withstand the pressure, lost."
The black hair wizard frowned slightly: "There is nothing to deal with such an unruly person. Which Chamber of Commerce union is willing to stand up?"
"Of course not, how could it be?!" Clermont sighed then said: "Byrne Duchy is not only an important tax source for the empire, but also various An important source of clients for the big guilds and the Chamber of Commerce! Dare to annoy the relatives of Governor Duchy, and the big money owner who controls the gold mine. Isn’t it bringing about one's own destruction for Chamber of Commerce?!"
"But you are different-as your Royal Highness Brandon’s wizard advisor, you don’t have to be afraid of this young Young Master... and as long as you are willing to play in this big bet, no matter what he takes We can do it for you as much as the principal Out, half of the winning money belongs to you! "
"Well, is this a lucrative...good deal?" "
