Chapter 628 Return on Capital Investment
"Well... well..."
Viscount Rich continued to think, and if he didn't say anything else, just because of his hesitant expression, Arrow knew that he must be worried that his investment would not be able to obtain a generous return——
"If you can't win the final championship, your publicity ability will be reduced a lot... The winner can directly enter the palace. What a big publicity! If you can win, my fishery industry can instantly become the entire Blue Bay
The most popular fishing brand in the empire. The title of the Wald family will also spread throughout the Blue Bay Empire!"
"But if you don't win..."
The viscount stood up and walked around the lounge, constantly thinking about whether the business investment here could obtain sufficient returns.
After hesitating for a long time, the viscount suddenly turned around and said to Ai Luo: "President Ai Luo, what do you think is the worst place your guild can get? Runner-up? Or top three? Is it enough? If you really can't get it,
If I get on the podium, I can barely accept being in the top four."
To put it bluntly, Ai Luo felt that he was pretty accurate about Viscount Rich.
Although Aiello does not deny that this Viscount has many advantages, there are also many annoying points.
Seeing Ai Luo's smiling expression now, Viscount Rich's brows furrowed even more tightly. He seemed helpless and said, "So...then...what about the top five? At least the top ten."
, we really can’t fall any further! If we can’t even rank among the top ten in the country, that would be really bad!”
Ai Luo turned his head and looked at the sky outside. The sun was now starting to set slightly in the west. If this matter was not clarified, I am afraid that he would spend the whole day on this topic.
At that moment, the president cleared his throat slightly and said slowly——
"The rules of the guild championship battle... I also know it. And luckily, I have watched a few games."
“The triennial competition is basically divided into two stages. The first stage is a scoring competition, that is, all participating guilds obtain tasks from the referee, and then complete certain things within the specified time according to the instructions of the tasks.
There will be some interesting small changes depending on the rules. For example, I remember that in the last Guild Championship, a guild was given the task of ensuring that the number of injured people on the field must be limited to a certain number within a specified time.
Within the number. The other guild made more adventurers lie on the ground unable to move within the specified time."
"But because the specific tasks of both guilds are confidential, each guild does not know what the other guild's tasks are. This leads to the fact that during the game, the guild that saves people accidentally differs from the number of kills.
The guilds were lined up at the same competition venue, which caused them to start searching for members of other guilds all over the venue. The guild that finally rescued people realized that if it could not contain the guild that kept attacking others, its mission would fail.
And the killing guild also realized that no matter how many adventurers it knocked down, they would get back up quickly."
"Under such circumstances, the two guilds began to desperately search for each other, but since neither side knew which guild's mission was against them, it would happen that members of the other guilds would defeat one of them even just by accident.
, or after rescuing someone, they will immediately be regarded as enemies by one of these two guilds."
"Of course, the guild that keeps defeating other guilds will quickly make enemies, and the guild that rescues others will gain allies faster. But when the information between each other is not transparent, the guild with the mission of killing will start to
Rescue people to deceive other guilds, and then blend into that ally for an internal breakthrough."
"Such rules will lead to too many accidents in guild battles. Many times you can't even say that your guild has the strongest combat ability, so it will definitely be among the best."
"Under such circumstances, if your Excellency, Viscount, you insist on asking me to give a guess as to where you can get, I can only say that I really can't guess."
After hearing Ai Luo say such a lot of nonsense, the hesitation on Viscount Rich's face became even more intense.
He rubbed his forehead and kept thinking whether [My Love Novels www.xss521.com] should invest the money.
It was also while he was thinking that Ai Luo turned his head and saw that the sunlight outside the window had gradually become dim, and the setting sun began to set behind the Evermian Mountains over there.
"Hmm...how about this?"
In order to prevent this matter from dragging on endlessly, Ai Luo still felt that he should resolve the matter immediately and on the spot——
“How about we do a phased funding model?”
Rich: "Funding sponsorship in stages?"
Ai Luo nodded lightly. He turned around, scanned the faces of his guild members, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not complicated to say. It's just to follow the sponsorship you originally planned to give, Your Excellency, Viscount.
We can just implement it according to the results of our guild."
"For example, you can first provide us with round-trip travel expenses. Then you can help us customize clothes. I believe this kind of thing should not cost a few dollars, and you can also avoid making a large investment in one go. If our guild is unlucky, in
We were at the bottom right after the guild championship battle started, and unfortunately there was no chance of a comeback at all. We were definitely disqualified after just a few games. So, Viscount Rich, you can stop here and use a small sum of money to let our guild help.
You won't suffer too much if you conduct a little promotion for a few days, and we, Mermaid Song, won't feel too much pressure."
"Then, if our guild performs well in the championship game and actually achieves some results! In this case, you can increase your investment in our guild so that we can have a better food and accommodation environment. Even you
You can also directly send money to our guild to make all our guild members excited."
"In this way, if we are lucky and really advance to the second stage of the competition smoothly, and are honored to get some good rankings, then you can provide us with more funds so that our guild can have more money.
Come buy equipment and potions. As our guild wins a game, you will give money once. If our guild can really win the championship in the end, then you will be the happiest because your request has been fulfilled. But if we are unfortunate enough to win a certain game,
If you fail in this battle, you don't need to continue investing in our guild, but you can still get the publicity you got before."
"The advantage of this is that it is convenient and easy to deploy. The disadvantage...is that there is no way to implement a complete overall strategy from start to finish, and you may not be able to prepare our guild's equipment in advance.
But I personally think that if you are really sensitive to the amount of money spent, this should be the best choice.”
As the sun finally completely set on the other side of the mountains, some maids also walked into the lounge holding candles in their hands, lighting up the entire room, making the castle brightly lit again.
Viscount Rich also thought carefully about Arrow's proposal. After hesitating for a long time, the Viscount finally nodded and said: "Well... your method seems feasible. Okay! If President Arrow, you think
If this is possible, then so be it!”
At that moment, Ai Luo had that innocent smile on his face again.
He knew that he had succeeded.
The biggest shortcoming of the staged financial sponsorship model is of course that it is not very fixed and does not have long-term planning. Therefore, I am afraid that it will not be able to produce appropriate equipment at critical moments to deal with possible difficulties.
But its advantages... are not just as simple as flexibility!
Just kidding, this method of getting money directly after winning a game is of course the best! No matter how big-hearted Ai Luo is, he cannot have the unrealistic ambition of directly winning the guild championship!
In this case, instead of letting the Viscount invest his money in that illusory advertisement, it would be safer and more "comfortable" to give it directly to Airl and put it in Mermaid Song's wallet~~~
!
And in this way, he would have no pressure. It would be best if he could win more guild championships and earn more money, but if he really couldn't win and lost, he wouldn't have any psychological pressure. What's more, before that,
I have already brainwashed the guild members to treat this championship match as a trip or a life experience, so everyone should not be under too much pressure.
And the last thing...
Now he can finally start talking about the topic he wants to talk about most.
"Viscount Rich, since we have solved the problem of the guild championship battle, let's talk about other things."
Ai Luo smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
Viscount Rich seemed to have realized that it was getting late now. He looked out the window at the dark sky, nodded and said: "Oh my, I didn't expect that it's so late now after we had such a fun chat.
! President Aero, and everyone from Mermaid Song, I’ll invite you all to come to the restaurant for dinner tonight! We can also have a good chat about the specific details of the phased sponsorship!”
"His Excellency Viscount Rich!"
At this time, Ai Luo finally shouted out without politeness——
"Actually, I have some questions to ask you! When I came here, I saw that the door to the basement where the flesh-and-blood monster once lived has been opened again, right? Didn't you originally say that you wanted to seal it up forever? On this point,
Chapter completed!
