Ruolin looked at the guy brought in by Master Du Wei with some surprise.
Her first influence was: Could this guy be transformed from a monkey? Or is he the legendary orc? The monkey tribe?
That's right, he's almost like a giant monkey in human form but with no hair.
"This is Mr. Zach." Du Wei introduced him in a very polite tone, so Ruolin immediately withdrew her eyes. She understood that it was very impolite to look at people like this, and it was Master Du Wei who brought him here and used such a solemn expression.
The tone of voice that introduces the character.
"Hello, Your Excellency, the beautiful female knight." Zach was dressed decently, but on his head was a small melon hat that a typical small businessman would wear. There was also a thin little hat on it. He said to
Ruolin took off her hat, bent down, and smiled politely. It was also a typical businessman's warm smile: "It's nice to see you. Please call me Zach, or my friends call me Xiao."
Zach, well, this is to separate me from my late father."
"Zach is a genius I met today. I think he is very talented in business management." Du Wei winked at Ruolin, then walked to the female knight, lowered his voice and laughed: "Ruolin, I
I know that you actually don’t like your current job, right? Then Zach will be under your control starting from today. You can teach him everything as soon as possible and make him familiar with this place as soon as possible. One day I think he can replace you in the job.
While you are working here... you can go back and manage that fleet as you wish."
Ruolin's eyes lit up. Immediately, the female knight looked at the big horse monkey with much friendlier eyes. She even thought that the big horse monkey seemed quite cute when he smiled.
"So, he will be transferred to my place now?" Ruolin glanced at Du Wei.
Zach himself answered: "Yes... Oh, God. This is really a magical day. When the Duke walked into my little shop, I really didn't expect that I would meet the famous Tulip Duke today. As a result,
I didn't sell my gold package service, but the Duke bought me and my little shop."
Soon, Ruolin took little Zach around the store, and then Zach immediately put forward some opinions. He seemed to have a natural businessman temperament, and he had no stage fright. He was not nervous, as long as he
When it comes to anything related to buying and selling, this monkey's eyes light up.
"How's it going? Zach?" Du Wei looked expectantly at the guy he brought back. He believed that he was definitely not mistaken. He could come up with the so-called "service package" idea for the first time in this world.
This guy, if not a genius, is at least a geek.
"With all due respect, I think... the problem is huge." Zach expressed his opinion without hesitation: "I just took a look, Your Majesty, this is the only thing currently sold in this store.
Huh? Weapons...weapons...weapons...oh, magic weapons...weapons. God. Is there nothing else in our lives besides weapons?"
Ruolin was slightly dissatisfied. After all, she was now the person in charge here: "Mr. Zach, we also make some clothing. For example, warrior robes, and..."
"These can be considered weapons-range equipment." Zach curled his lips.
Then this guy actually sat down casually and took a glass of wine brought by a beautiful slave girl next to him. He took it unceremoniously, drank it in one gulp, and sighed comfortably: "Good wine, God."
Testify, I have never drunk such wine in my life. This kind of wine probably costs one silver coin per pot, right?"
"It's gold coins...one gold coin per cup." Ruolin said calmly.
Zach stared, looked at the wine glass in his hand carefully, quickly put it down, and then continued: "Okay, where did I just say it? Oh, by the way...weapons. Your Excellency, the Duke, and
Your Excellency, this beautiful female knight. Although I am a low-level person, a small boss at the bottom, I can see that the customers facing this shop are all respectable nobles in the imperial capital, right? Then, right?
,Excuse me. Why do those noble nobles with status buy so many weapons?"
Ruolin was stunned by his words.
Then Zach's next remarks made Duwei very satisfied.
"Those nobles are all people of status. They will not wear armor and carry sharp weapons like those real warriors or adventurers, and go to the frozen forests of the North or the swamps of the South to adventure and hunt.
World of Warcraft, they won't do that. Did they buy the weapons back... I think it's more useful to show off and show off. Those gorgeous armors, beautiful knight swords, and shirts are just for wearing them out.
Noble ladies show off their heroic looks...yes, I'm right, they show off, just like a peacock spreading its tail."
"You are right, we have also thought of this." Ruolin replied: "So the things we have here are mainly gorgeous and stylish."
"I can see it." Zach nodded: "From a business perspective, beautiful female knight, your current approach is not wrong."
Ruolin immediately said: "These are the Duke's ideas, I am just executing them."
"But!" Zach interrupted Ruolin unceremoniously: "What I said is that the 'method' is correct, but the 'direction' is wrong."
"Go on!" Du Wei saw Ruolin about to retort, he immediately glanced at Ruolin and said calmly: "Mr. Zac, please go on."
Zach smiled. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment, licked his lips, and then said with a shy smile: "Um... that glass of wine, can you give me another glass?"
"Ask someone to bring a pot to our Mr. Zach." Du Wei immediately ordered.
Then, Zach took the wine bottle brought by a beautiful slave girl with both hands, and then tasted the wine and said with a smile: "Okay, Your Majesty Duke, then what I want to say may be a little... uh. I just hope,
You must not mind."
"Of course, I like your ideas." Du Wei gave this guy full confidence: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you back."
"I think that the current business here is right in terms of the way it is run, but the direction is wrong." Zach put down the wine bottle, then clasped his fingers and said: "Those noble gentlemen. Those young nobles, they are indeed
They will spend a lot of time to please ladies, please beautiful girls, show off to girls, and put on shows... However, these are only a part of the lives of nobles, even a very small part... After all, there is evil in sex.
A few people, and most nobles, have more colorful things in their lives. To put it simply... they are enjoyment and entertainment!"
Enjoy and entertain?
Zach smiled and said: "In my opinion, humans and pigs are a very interesting contrast... Well, what is a pig? A pig's life is equal to: eating and sleeping. What about humans? Humans are slightly richer than pigs: eating and sleeping.
Add work. Add enjoyment.”
After a pause, Mr. Zucker made a pithy summary: "So, if a person doesn't know how to enjoy, he is just like a pig who knows how to work."
"Enjoyment is the main thing in the lives of most nobles. Of course they are not pigs. Their lives are far more exciting than pigs. But we have not grasped their greatest needs: clothing! Food! Housing! Transportation!... And now?
, weapons? Weapons are only a very, very small part."
"I have seen that everything here is made of precious and rare magic materials. Many of them are... I think, Lord Duke, you must have a fixed supply and be able to continuously obtain these precious magic materials.
.So...can we only use these magic cores of Warcraft, as well as those precious magic gems, crystals, plants...for weapons? Can't they be used for other things?"
Du Wei's eyes lit up and he looked at Ruolin.
"An ordinary long sword on the market can be sold for two silver coins. And what about a small necklace worn by a noble lady? It's just an ordinary gem necklace, about... twenty silver coins. A high-quality set
The approximate price of a knight's jersey is...five silver coins. And what about a good nobleman's dress? Oh, I don't know much about this. But the price is definitely much more expensive than the jersey."
"I just saw a set of armor here, my God. I have to say... it's so beautiful! It's always covered with a faint white light, oh, just like when I went to the temple to worship and pray last month
, the same holy light you see! So beautiful, so beautiful! What if... I mean what if, we use this kind of thing on the jewelry used by noble ladies? And the one I just saw...
...Oh, that thing is the wand used by magicians, right? This is the first time in my life that I have seen the wand used by magicians. I heard from Sir Jolin Knight that it is specially used by water magicians. It can condense naturally.
...What is that thing called?”
"Water element." Ruolin answered.
"Oh! That's right! It's the element of water." Zach smiled slyly: "What if we use these things on rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. for those noble ladies? Imagine it.
, what do women always complain about? They will say, 'Oh, my God, this weather is too dry, my skin will be damaged.' Then we sell them things and tell them that as long as they wear our products,
You can maintain a little water vapor around your body at any time... Imagine how attractive this is? The aquamarine on the wand I saw is such a big piece that if cut into pieces, it can be used to make several sets of jewelry.
Got it!"
"And...oh, this is my own imagination. If what I say is wrong, please don't mind, Your Excellency the Duke and the female knight." Zach continued: "Every winter, I will listen to those rich people who come and go.
The wealthy businessmen complained that the fur coats they wore were too heavy and inconvenient to move around. Moreover, in the winter, everyone was dressed like a big meat ball. They wore thick fur scarves around their necks and
Thick leather jacket, and leather boots... God, how heavy it is! If we... Oh, please forgive me, I am not a magician, but I can always do it with magical magic... Is it possible?
We can make clothes with lightweight materials, just like the ones we wear in summer. Girls can also show off their beautiful figures and beautiful legs, and at the same time, they can also keep warm! Hmm? What do you think?
I think many nobles must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy this kind of thing! What do nobles like? What they like is enjoyment! It is different! Think about it, in winter, in the ice and snow, everyone around is wearing heavy clothes.
The fur is too long, but you are wearing a light and beautiful robe. The girls can still show off their graceful waists, and the men can still wear the hunting clothes they wear in summer..."
Du Wei sighed: "You are right...and these can be done...God, and it is very simple. You only need to use a piece of the cheapest fire-type ruby to cut it into countless pieces. Make many of these.
Planting clothes..."
Zach seemed to be full of fantastic ideas, but Duwei had already stopped him: "Okay, Zach! My dear Zach! That's enough, that's it... I'll give you every one of your ideas."
I find them all very interesting. I think you can discuss these matters with Ruolin in detail. Talk carefully! I think all your ideas can be realized."
Ruolin also began to be convinced by this big monkey...even though he looked ugly and a little rude.
But I have to admit that this guy is indeed very talented.
Ruolin already seemed to see the vast blue ocean and her own fleet waving to her!
"So. Now I think I can make a decision." Du Wei pondered for a while: "Zach, from today on, you are the deputy steward here. Except Ruolin, you can command everyone here.
Of course, you still need to be familiar with this place, so for the time being, the decision-making of the management here will still be made by Miss Ruolin, but I think this time will not be very long. So, you are now the deputy manager here.
, what is your salary? I will give you fifteen gold coins every month. Plus monthly profit dividends, the proportion is the same as Miss Ruolin's. Are you satisfied with this?"
Zach immediately picked up from his chair, with a grateful face, took off his hat and saluted Duwei.
He was so satisfied. You know, when you ran that small hotel, even during the busiest season, you could only earn five or six gold coins in a month.
Moreover, he was originally just a small boss. But now, he has embraced the recently popular youngest Duke of the Empire... From now on, he will be a member of the upper class!
Then Du Wei left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he told Ruolin: "Take him well to familiarize himself with the environment here...and...well, teach him some etiquette that he should learn. I don't want to see this Zha in the future."
Mr. Crouch crossed his legs in front of our distinguished guests, the counts and dukes, and spoke foul language while smelling of alcohol."
Zach's small hotel had already been bought by Duwei on the spot, and then two pirates were transferred from Ruolin's men to temporarily take care of it, and all the guests in the hotel were invited away, and the hotel was announced to the public.
Closed and no longer open for business.
Hussein and Nicole have already arrived, and they are living in the backyard of Xiaodiandi.
When Ruolin and Hussein met Nicole, there was nothing to say. Hussein was still very cold, but after seeing Du Wei, he looked at the little nobleman carefully, and the paladin who was blind in one eye
, looked even colder, but he still said something that showed a hint of concern for Du Wei.
"Your skills have deteriorated a lot. Haven't you practiced the moves I gave you recently?"
This is true, Du Wei really doesn't have much time to practice recently, he spends most of his time studying and learning magic.
Thanks to the Magic Society, after many magicians contributed research results, the one who benefited the most was Du Wei, a super magician master who "doesn't deserve the name". He almost spent all his time studying the magic research results compiled by the Magic Society.
.And no one would believe that this great magician, a disciple of Master Gandolf and considered a genius boy, would steal his studies!
Of course, after meeting Hussein and Nicole, Duwei did not forget to ask Queen Medusa for a hair.
During class at the Magic Academy tomorrow, he will teach the students how to deal with the golden-eyed python.
As for Nicole... After confirming that Nicole had not opened her eyes to anyone or accidentally petrified someone, Du Wei left with peace of mind.
The Paladin and the Beauty Snake are two dull people who don't like to talk. Let them be depressed by each other. After all, this place is too close to the imperial capital, so it's better to be careful. As long as it takes a while, you will be in the northwest.
The bird flew away.
The only thing worth mentioning is... Vivian did not come back with Du Wei.
This was Queen Medusa's request. When she faced Du Wei with her eyes closed, Du Wei suddenly felt a chill... He wondered whether Miss Nicole's magic power had improved again?
"That female apprentice of Master Gandolf, please stay with me." Nicole said lightly: "You promised to teach me human nature and the human way of life, but since I followed you out, I have been hiding in the room.
Can’t go out…”
Du Wei was immediately speechless. He felt Queen Medusa's dissatisfaction. Now he did not have the strength to challenge this terrible Queen Medusa... This woman's strength could even petrify a strong man like the leader of the Dragon Clan.
The majestic dragon clan leader was forced to use the life-saving trick "Dragon God Guard" that could only be used once in a hundred years.
With no room for negotiation, Du Wei had no choice but to leave little Vivian with the beautiful snake.
"Baby, be careful, as long as you don't look into her eyes at any time...well. Apart from being a bit boring, she's pretty easy to get along with."
However, Du Wei made a mistake.
A big, big mistake.
He had already preconceived the idea and labeled Queen Medusa as a "strong one", but he forgot that the powerful Miss Nicole was actually just a magical beast that evolved into a human... except for her special skill of petrification.
, this "strong man" doesn't seem to know any other magic.
Sure enough, after Du Wei left, Medusa and Vivian were alone together for less than five seconds...
"Can you teach me magic?"
Queen Medusa made her request like this.
Will the simple and innocent little Vivian refuse?
God knows……
Du Wei returned to his house alone, and he was very satisfied with today's harvest. The big horse monkey named Zach can be expected. With this geek, Du Wei seems to be able to see that there will be many things in the future.
A lot of gold coins flew into his pocket.
And he had just returned to his temporary residence. Before he got off his horse, he saw the fat white man, the 250-year-old general, sitting on a strong horse... The poor horse seemed to be unable to bear the weight of the 250-year-old general. From it
Just by the way he struggled to stand there, you could tell that this poor horse was undergoing the most severe test since its birth!
Next to him, the clever little Sandy was also riding on a small brown stallion. The two of them seemed to be about to go out.
Little Sandy seemed to be riding a horse for the first time in his life. His expression was very excited, but when he saw Du Wei, he still did not forget to jump off the horse and salute.
"Are you going out?" Du Wei looked at this 250-year-old general and suddenly remembered this guy's "lecherous" temper... Well, he didn't want to go fooling around, right? But he took Sandy, who was still a little boy, with him
That kind of place?
"Yes, my boss." General Longbottom tilted his hat, with a somewhat dissatisfied expression on his face: "Your Majesty, I found that you really lack manpower in the underworld... God, you don't even have a decent bodyguard.
None, so I decided to go out and recruit a few warriors first."
Du Wei nodded.
Indeed, after the Luo Lin family was disbanded, most of the guards followed old Count Raymond back to the Luo Lin Plains, and Du Wei... He was a magician. He seemed to have ignored his noble status. When he went out,
There were never any guards following him. And at home, there was only Mad and a few servants.
The only orthodox samurai, after all, are the 250-year-old General and the Alpha Guard Commander. However, the Alpha Guard Commander was seriously injured on the day of the coup, and he was considered a member of the "rebels" at the time.
Although the fierce general is now with Du Wei, in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely goes out on weekdays.
"So, I asked little Sandy to take me to the slave market to see if I can dig out a few grains of gold from the sand." General Longbottom sighed and glanced at Duwei: "Do you want to follow me, boss?
?”
"...Okay." Du Wei was a little confused.
Going to the slave market?
He then thought of the destitute free warriors looking for work standing in the corner on the street of the slave market... But most of them were low-level warriors. Can those people be used?
