The place where I met with Li Cong this time was at Li Cong’s house. Now there is no other way. Li Cong and Lu Manjia just enjoyed a very delicious dinner worth 60,000 taels of silver, and I was in a very good mood. And Lu Manjia also promised that Li Cong could try some new moves in the evening. This is not because Li Conglian had a much better attitude towards killing Confucianism and Princess Rongchang.

Killing Confucian came to Li Cong’s house in person. Although Rongchang was reluctant to come, he was biting his head at this moment. There was no way. The first news they received was that the Cao’s business had already started from the Southern Empire. It has begun to expand. Now no matter what kind of attitude they have, there is no way. At least the Cao’s family firm’s entry into the northern part of the Southern Empire can be said to be a certain thing, and it is impossible to shake it. The Southern Empire Mage’s Union People have already started to operate this thing in an all-round way, and this is also a fait accompli.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Li Cong’s Cao’s charity has announced that 35 million poor people and 30 million ordinary people in the northern provinces of the Southern Empire can get 50 catties of wheat per person. The homeless man is still a hundred catties of food. This action was carried out by the Cao’s family firm and the Magician’s Union. The Cao’s family of business produced food. The Magician’s union produced local and human resources. For the entire Southern Empire, the impact was still great. How could there be such a thing? Why would there be such a thing? Is this a small amount of food?

This event Mr. Cui mobilized a large amount of food. At the beginning, the wizards' union was not very willing to do this activity. They didn't think it would have any effect to flatter these ordinary people, but when the matter was completed, they were regarded as I understand, this Cao family firm’s action is really powerful. How could they not have thought of it before, but even if they wanted to do it, they couldn’t afford the money. More than one million tons of food went in like that. Now, the Wizards’ Union would never use this money to do such things.However, they also saw it after the incident. Now hundreds of millions of people in the entire northern province are talking about the good deeds of Cao's firm. Of course, what they don't know is that the taste of wheat from Cao's firm is the best. After buying their wheat, it's hard to eat other wheat. Anyway, the price is the same.Why not choose this? Boss Cui also made a live advertisement for his own grain merchant.It’s the same pattern as later generations that taste first and pay later.

Boss Cui took a look at the guys outside. They were all crazy. Only 50 catties of food would allow so many people to help him speak nice things. Brother-in-law's strategy is really good.

"What's the matter, sister, look at your face, why is it so ugly, not seeing your kindness already makes many people very grateful to you." Cui boss saw his sister Cui Xian'er face The expression is not very good, he knows that his sister is looking to make up for such use of charity.But Li Cong also said that charity has always served business. No matter how people give their love, this ultimately needs to be profitable. If there are no profitable things, it is estimated that those people will not be like this. For charity.

"I don't like you like this, I don't like it very much. Look at what you have done. Although you are also doing good deeds, you are looking for rewards. We don't want to pursue this in charity." Cui Xian'er said angrily , The people outside here don't even know that they are being used. The joy on this face is not a pretense.

"Haha. My sister, how can you think that way? Didn't your husband just say that the most precious thing about a person is that there is value for use. If there is no value for use, then how miserable this person would be. People in this world can’t live in this world at all. You can see them at this moment. They are really happy. There is not a lot of food for 50 catties, but they can make the family happily eat for half a month. Isn’t this also the original intention of your charity? We just rely on their mouths to help our Cao’s firm do some propaganda.” Cui said with a smile, he didn’t know that his sister had become In this way, I understand that Li Cong told him not to discuss charitable things with his sister, otherwise he would regret it.

"I won't understand your reasoning. Forget it, this matter is just like what you said. There will be a certain amount of help for charity, and I won't say anything." Cui Xian'er saw herself His elder brother has completely become a businessman, so he doesn't need to continue to say anything, it is better to go out and see what he does outside.

Boss Cui looked helplessly at his sister's back. Charity?Haha, if you don’t have your husband behind to support you, your charity organization will not function at all. Now it is still relying on the interest of the silver that Li Cong injected to do charity. There are hundreds of millions of silver every year, if it is gone. Those silver words rely on donations from those people?Forget it, that is simply impossible.

Looking back at Li Cong’s mansion again, at this moment, killing Ru and Rongchang have been talking to Li Cong for fifteen minutes without any nutrition. It is the third time to greet each other, and Li Cong is already in his grasp. Now, I know what I plan to do, but you don’t necessarily have this idea. The Southern Empire is definitely going in. It depends on the method you used to get in. You have no way at all. It's his own business to prevent Lao Tzu from getting in. To put it bluntly, it's time for you to take your clothes off and lie on the bed and let Lao Tzu do whatever he wants.

"Well, I told Brother Cao some time ago that the matter of entering the Southern Empire to sell Dukang wine, I don’t know if Brother Cao has any plans. Since Brother Cao is not very satisfied with our plan, I don’t know if Brother Cao himself is. What’s the plan?” I finally couldn’t help killing Confucianism. The boy in front of my mother was not a young man at all. A young man definitely had no such patience. I was dead to this guy. He was also very patient at the time. I didn’t expect this guy to be much more patient than his own. I didn’t have so much time to spend with this kid. The black magic potionists in the Southern Empire were still waiting for me. To clean up, although there has been no news recently, if I haven't done anything yet.Maybe people have started to move, and at that time, I would suffer a lot.

"As for this matter, we didn’t have any good plans before, nor did we think about entering the Southern Empire. It was just that the Southern Empire Mage’s Guild kept inviting me to go over. The southern empire started some of my actions. In fact, I have no intention of going to the southern empire to develop. I have also seen the killing of Confucianism. My life is actually pretty good here. And a lot of business is in the northern empire and the west. I haven't reached the end of the empire. Large-scale expansion has always been my weakness, even in terms of funding." Li Cong said, what is this?This is what I want to be a bitch and establish a chastity memorial, just a few words of effort pushed everything to the Southern Empire Mage Guild, but I don’t have anything. They told Lao Tzu to do it. I'm fine.

Killing Confucian cursed a little slippery head in his heart, although the relationship between the Southern Empire imperial family and the wizard's union was not very good.But if it weren’t attracted by your huge profits, how could the Southern Empire Mage’s Guild openly confront the royal family? They didn’t have enough profits to do so. Your kid here seems to be nothing. Knowing the same, this kind of thing can be done by you kid, but you are not convinced, you can't say that.He knew that even if he found the Southern Empire Mage’s Guild to confront him, he would definitely help Li Cong over there. The royal family didn’t give them any benefit, but there would always be confrontations. Not only did Li Cong have no confrontations here. On the contrary, it gave a lot of benefits.The relationship between who is close and who is far away can be seen very clearly at a glance.

"Haha, I have heard what Brother Cao said. I have complaints about our Southern Empire's previous practices. In the past, it was our fault. My granddaughter was really spoiled by me before. Now, let’s not be as knowledgeable as a little girl like her. When it comes to business in the Southern Empire, this is a win-win thing for both of us. I don’t know what Cao’s constitution is, so it’s better to say it directly. In this case, there will be no previous misunderstandings." The cultivation of killing Confucianism is still very good, and it is not because Li Cong has not said a few words. He knows the current situation of the Southern Empire very well, the magician. The threat of the union is getting stronger and stronger. The laws of the empire also stipulate the number of troops in the Mage’s Union, but now even if that law exists, the Mage’s Union has its own skills throughout the entire empire. They It is estimated that the above order hasn't been in the hands of those people, and the matter has been stopped. There is really no way to take them.

"Since Senior Killing Confucianism has already mentioned this plan twice, I will not refuse. Our plan is like this. It is basically the same as in the beginning of the Western Empire, that is, first the province city, then the county city. Secondly the county seat, and then some important townships, grain and trade, and pawn shops in the pawnshops, these four are all laid in the county seat. Grain can go to the township. The airship transport industry goes to the county seat, and the hotel class goes to the provincial seat. In the very important county town, the villa plan will start in three months, but we will start acquiring the land now. We will not participate in the sale of Dukang wine. We will give this package to you and the wizard union. As for How you sell is your problem. I will lower the price. Now it is 100,000 silver per bottle. I will give you a cheaper price, 90,000 taels per bottle, but at least 1 million boxes are required each time. If it is lower than this amount, it will be the original price. How to allocate within your area is your business. I am a supplier. I will not take care of some internal disputes." Li Cong laughed It is said that this has always been the case since the beginning, Li never likes procrastination, and Li Cong's words are also irresistible.

Sharu frowned and glanced at it. From his expression, Li Cong was giving them an ultimatum. If he didn't agree to this condition, I guess there would be no possibility of cooperation in the future, Li Cong. Of course, I told you clearly. If you don't want to, I won't go to your side to do business at best. From now on, the money will only be made by the Mage Union.

"Killing Confucian seniors, I know that my conditions are a bit excessive, so many industries need your support, but you should also calculate the accounts. This is the sailor of the Western Empire this year, and my Cao family firm has not been operated. At that time, their annual tax revenue was 950 billion silver, but after my chamber of commerce started to operate, it is now only two-thirds of it. Now their tax revenue is 230 billion silver. I dare not say that all the 230 billion silver is. I made it, but I dare to say that one billion silver is my credit. Next year their tax will be at least 300 billion silver on my body." Li Cong said, eating the fruit on the table, this is what I want to tell you thing.These things are not known to kill Confucianism, even if you know it, you will not know it so clearly. The Rongchang female prince on the side is directly dumbfounded, 300 billion silver, which is one-third of the imperial emperor’s financial income. It's simply impossible. How can a business have such an ability?All of them are dumbfounded.

"Senior killing Confucian, if you say that you still need to think about it for a while, then I'm sorry. My condition is like this. You promised it is now, and if you don't agree, I won't lose much." The people on the other side consider time. Now they almost follow Li Cong's thinking. This is also the best time for Li Cong to finalize the negotiation plan. If this cannot be finalized now, it will be difficult to say in the future.Killing Ruth is not a fool, and the people in the Southern Empire are not fools. They must have various ideas. What Li never said is that entering the Southern Empire is very supportive for his hegemony. , I also benefit the most.In fact, if killing Confucianism is a little sober at this time, he can understand it, but at this time he is completely bluffed by the 300 billion silver tax.

"No need to think about it, I can take the initiative and agree to this matter. Even if our initial cooperation is reached in this way, I will ask someone to discuss this matter for some details." Five minutes later, Sharu agreed to this cooperation. The agreement, although there are still many things that are not very clear.But now there is not so much time for myself to think about it. If I continue to think about it, it is estimated that Li Cong will be able to deliver goods several times. At that time, it was time for the Southern Empire Wizards Guild to make money. They Making money represents the loss of the royal family of the Southern Empire.

"Hehe, I am very grateful to the predecessors of Killing Confucianism who have such a vision to help the Lord show my grand vision in the Southern Empire. A small gift is not a respect." Li Cong smiled and took out a beautifully packaged box. Because this thing is made of stainless steel on the earth, for Li Cong, such a thing is only eight yuan, but for killing Confucianism, this thing is a treasure, because this thing has never been on this planet. It has appeared before, and there is no such thing on this continent. They are really a little surprised. What exactly is this thing, but since it was Li Cong, the thing should be very expensive.

After Killing Confucianism took it, he opened it directly. Good fellow, the fourth-grade pill, it turned out to be a fourth-grade pill. Killing Confucian looked incredible at Li Cong, this guy was so generous, any of the fourth-grade pill. All of them are worth more than 100 billion silver. The pill in front of you to kill Confucianism is known. This is the fourth-grade pill Jingxin Pill. After eating this thing, your meridian will be enlarged by 1.5 times in the next 30 years. In addition, it will also produce a transformation to one's own body. Such a thing can be said to be completely wasteful for people below level 8 fighters, but it is absolutely necessary for the killing of Confucianism of level ten fighters. Jingxin Pill appeared once in the Eastern Empire 15 years ago. At that time, the Guardian War God of the Eastern Empire used medicinal materials worth 380 billion silver to replace this thing. As a result, he successfully advanced from the tenth-level warrior level for the next 30 years. Promoted to the high-level tenth level fighters, he was a bit distracted at the moment of killing Confucianism by such a good thing. He really needs this. For them, level ten fighters, medicinal materials can be obtained, but This pharmacist is hard to find. Li Cong’s gift is really big. Killing Confucianism is now a high-level tenth-level fighter, and has already touched the threshold of the tenth-level fighter peak. I believe there is this thing, thirty years later. You should be able to reach that level.

"This...this thing is really too precious..." The things that can make tenth-level fighters say precious things are naturally very precious things. Killing Confucianism is a little bit awkward now.

"Hehe, this is indeed very precious, but the money is moving these years. Although my people have bought the people from the middle and lower classes of the Southern Empire, I still have no bottom in my heart. I am in the Western Empire. In the early days, the rapid development was due to Prince Yulin’s reasons, in the middle stage it was because of Prince Zheng’s reasons. Now it’s because of my own reasons. All of this has a lot to do with gift giving, politicians and businessmen. Whenever it’s the two closest levels, it’s the same between me and you. I hope you can support me. From now on, the southern imperial family is still yours. My goal is to do business. I have no interest in politics. "From this moment, Li is telling the biggest lie, and his words can only have 30% credibility.But I believe it by killing Confucianism. One is because Li really has no intention of developing politically. The other is because the pill is in front of him. To be honest, this thing is indeed too precious. He couldn't find it for a lifetime, now he is in front of his own eyes, can he not be tempted?

"Brother Cao, I feel that you are really very frank. This is the first time I have heard of this. I have to say that your kid is a talent. I have never seen someone like you before. It feels like you are a person who can achieve great things, and your future may be much more brilliant than this old man like me." Killing Confucianism surprised Rong Chang next to him. You must know that you have reached the level of killing Confucianism and Prince Zheng. It can be said that it has reached the peak of life, they are all tenth-level fighters.Although they are not the top ones, but the top ones do not know how many years they have disappeared. They are the top ones in the world. Besides that, they also control a quarter of the world. Who dares to say that the Southern Empire is the best The people are not killing Confucianism?Only some fools think that the one on the throne is the supreme leader, and they are just like the great elder of the Cao Gang.Normally, they don’t care about anything. They only stand up when it’s about the life and death of their own organization. Such people can say that they have never seen it before, but after the elder, Li From the feeling that they all seemed to be such people, the emperors of several empires had not seen them, but they had directly met the people behind them.I really don't know how much effort I saved.

"Happy cooperation." From the expression of killing Confucianism, Li Cong already knew that he must want to cooperate with him, Li Cong stood up and said confidently.

"Happy cooperation." Although there is a smile on Killing Confucianism, Li Cong can see that it is a very reluctant smile. I don't know how long it has not been on Killing Confucianism. This will Er Rongchang was also surprised. If such a person prevented the killing of Confucianism from coming to Taiwan before, it is estimated that the killing of Confucianism would have been a painful killer for others, but the current killing of Confucianism has no intention of doing anything.

"Brother Cao, some of the others can come slowly, but this airship is faster. Our Southern Empire is already restless because of the Black Magician." Killing Confucian said to Li Cong before leaving.

"Well, it's okay. As long as the Southern Empire Yamen prepares land for us, we can do business after holding a few job fairs. As for the airline, we have already planned it." He said again. Killing Confucianism is speechless, damn, the feeling kid is fooling himself. He has already fixed everything. Now I am pretending to be confused with myself. Even the route has been worked out by your mother. I also told Lao Tzu that he didn’t want to go to our southern empire. How could your boy say this? I knew that I would not agree so early, but although killing Confucianism now has the intention of killing people, In other words, it is also from the respected seniors. He dare not fool around with such juniors as Li. If this is spread out, his lifetime reputation will really be bad here.

"Rongchang, I hope that next time I see you, I don’t suffer from such a face. We went to the Southern Empire not to rob, but to do things. If our business is prosperous, you will also have a lot of taxes. Yes, you can say that everyone can make a fortune, so next time I see you like this, I’m sorry, I think some of my activities may stop, and you will know the consequences at that time. Come, give I laughed." Li Cong said to Rongchang in a low voice. In fact, Li Cong wondered if this woman would laugh at all. She clearly showed such a disastrous look, but she usually tightened her face. Yes, I don't know if this girl is usually tired or not, how can she be happy always like this.

This anger in Rongchang's heart.I am usually proud of myself, when someone has spoken to myself like this, even if someone speaks to myself, my head will fall off, but the person in front of me is not just myself, the entire Southern Empire The royal family asked others, so I could only give Li Cong a smile that was uglier than crying. Unexpectedly, the kid Li Cong shook his head and left with a sigh.***, aunty smile, even if it is ugly, I haven't shown it to others.Your kid doesn’t know how to cherish such blessings, but then she thought of Li Cong’s daughter-in-law, she was just a concubine in her eyes, but Li Cong was really good to that woman, so she left herself. Such a big customer can see it when he goes to dinner with his wife. Li Cong himself also said that he is a person who loves beauty and does not love the country. Such a person is undesirable for ordinary people, but for a woman. Said, if there is such a person in this life to say to himself.This life is really worth it, very worthwhile.

The Cao’s House of Commercials began to publicize the news of entering the Southern Empire a week later. Immediately, the Cao’s House of Commercials also became popular. In the past, many people still did not choose the Cao’s House of Commercials, although Prince Zheng was also involved. Having said that, but these people are still a bit muttered in their hearts after all, this Cao family firm has only been a few years old.It’s just a new door. Everyone doesn’t believe it very much. The first is afraid that their masters don’t know the goods very well, and the second is afraid that they can’t afford that price if they bring out good things. Things have made Cao's trading company's trading house in a poor state, and now it is good.Most people have tried it, and the turnover has increased by 10%, which is already a very good figure. You must know that the things that Cao’s House Commercial Bank purchases every day have used trillions of silver, per cent. Ten cans are worth hundreds of billions of dollars. It's impossible for these money to appreciate so quickly if you put them there, but they will appreciate quickly if you buy these things.It’s like some medicinal materials that have an average annual appreciation of more than 20%. Even if you buy them near the Warcraft Mountains and ship them to the capital, the price can be doubled. At this time, other trading houses do this. It’s not as good as Li Cong. Cao’s trading house has its own 500 special large airships to make this thing. Their goods can travel across the entire continent within two weeks, so it’s one of the trading houses. No goods, as long as you can pay the deposit, it will be shipped to you within a few days. They have never seen such a thing before, but to be honest, many mercenaries like this thing very much.

The second most affected by this is the ticket number of Cao’s Commercial Bank. In the past, this ticket number did not accept deposits, but only operated loans. Now, because of the expansion of trade volume, not only has it begun to operate deposits, but it is also different from others. Similarly, the deposits taken by other silver accounts not only have no interest, but on the contrary, if you have to pay a certain storage fee, Cao's Commercial Bank directly eliminated this storage fee, but it did not give you interest on the deposit. You can not give or not give such things. Anyway, you don’t need much money. If you can do that when you wait for the money, Cao’s commercial bank now has a total ticket number of over 85 trillion silver. Half of the silver is Li Cong's own silver, and the rest is some of the other silver that he absorbed. This also shocked Li Cong. These empires all implemented the 30 tax one tax policy. It is one-thirtieth of the tax. This makes most of the money hidden in the private sector. Otherwise, there will not be so much money. Making money with money is the best business. This Li Cong It's very clear, but now there are too many people operating ticket numbers, and there are too many people who want to get a lot of business from them, which offends them, so Li Cong still doesn't want to be too radical. .

However, under the influence of Li Cong, it can be said that Li Cong gave some courses to the shopkeepers of major ticket numbers. These shopkeepers are very proactive. They did not guard their faces like other ticket number bosses. In the house, these shopkeepers are all going out to find customers on their own. Of course, they are looking for projects with more promising development. In addition, the loan interest of Cao's commercial bank is relatively low, and everyone is willing to come to Cao's house. The bank's bill number used to lend, they only have an annual interest rate of 30%. Other bill numbers have an annual interest rate of over 100%, which is commonly known as usury. Although the Cao's bill number has a low interest rate, it is not All people can lend money out.Most of them require collateral. A small part of those who do not need collateral must find a guarantor. Unless it is a promising project, the money will be given to you without any collateral. This is fine. It is said that it is very rare. Some ticket dealers in the Southern Empire knew that the interest of Cao's ticket number was so low, and they all lowered their interest accordingly, but it was still a little higher than that of Cao's trading company.But their profit point lies in this place, and their money is not their own money.If they all have so much money, they can say anything, but unfortunately they don't have it.

After a short time together, Lu Mangaard went back to the northern empire. The old lady of Li’s had been feeling cold recently. Li Cong couldn’t go back by herself, but all these daughter-in-laws are going back. In fact, the old lady Li Cong knew the cause of the illness very well, that is, he has not had a child until now.Li Cong himself is also very strange about this. He didn't control this before, but he didn't know why. Since he was out of the earth, this woman hasn't seen less, but she has no children. This cannot but be said to be a very strange thing.Li Cong himself really wanted to go back to the earth to check if something had happened to his body, which made him no longer fertile. He just thought about such things. Now the price of returning to earth can be said to be It's huge.

Li Cong actually wanted to go back to see Li Cong, but Li Cong's nagging Li Cong really couldn't bear it.So as soon as Li said that he was sick, Li Cong hurriedly called his wives home to see what was going on. He didn’t plan to go back. In fact, if something happened, the family members would give him news. In this way, it seems that there is nothing wrong, and it is probably Li's coaxing himself to go back.

Seeing Li Cong, the airship flying slowly, felt really uncomfortable. What is he pursuing? Don't pursue your fertility until the end.Then I really lost it.

The Northern Empire, Yunchengling, is a place where merchants are unwilling to come. The reason is that there are too many bandits here. It is estimated that there are more than a few hundred bands of bandits in Yunchengling, which is three hundred miles away. They are all willing to be in this place, because it is backed by the mountain, even if the Qing Dynasty army comes, there is nothing to be afraid of, it is too easy to escape here, no matter what direction you escape, you can get a safe, the Northern Empire court Millions of troops were sent to conduct a pull search in this area. At that time, it was really quiet for two years. Millions of bandits filled the army, beheaded and beheaded, and they were all scared at the time. Even if they weren’t caught, they all ran back to their hometown, and peace was restored here, but after five or six years, the first bandit appeared again, and the number gradually increased. Later on, the bandits will be the same as they are now. When there are too many, the imperial court will come to a large-scale suppression. It is like a reincarnation. When you finish things here, you will continue to come there. This made the senior officials of the Northern Empire lose their confidence in this place. As long as there is nothing special, they basically don’t care about things here. There is nothing to manage, because the money invested here is too much. , There is no need to continue the suppression, the last thing you get is a Yuncheng Ridge full of bandits.

On the pipeline in the distance, a team of Cao’s house escorts escorted thousands of carts toward this side. The escort was an integrated regiment of the Chamber of Commerce. The following five battalions plus the battalions directly under the regiment’s headquarters totaled There are more than 10,000 people. Among them, the regimental commander and the chief of staff are all fifth-level fighters. There is another fifth-level fighter in the regiment. The entire regiment has 00 light cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 1,000 archers. There are no more powerful archers like that, they are just ordinary archers, and of course they are led by powerful second-level archers.

The thousands of vehicles they escorted are not expensive things. After all, some of the precious things are all transported by the space ring. In addition, their transportation distance this time is not very far, only five hundred miles. According to the speed of their advancement of fifty miles a day, the ten-day period is basically reached. In these 1,000 carts, most of the things except for 30 carts of silver are some grains. It is actually not necessary to transport them. With so many people, it’s just because the reorganization has just been completed and the regiment hasn’t come out to exercise. This time it’s a training session, and by the way, it can deliver a batch of goods to its own people.

It’s not the first time that they have come to Yunchengling. Many people passed by here before. Nothing happened to the goods of Cao’s business here. The three big bandit leaders in Yunchengling each year Taking Cao’s family business’s annual salary of 200,000 taels of silver, even if they were greedy, they would not take this idea to Cao’s family business. Any guard would be a fifth-level fighter, and their most powerful were also sixth-level fighters. That's all, if this irritates the people of Cao's House of Business, they will have nothing to eat, so as long as the avant-garde spies of Cao's House of Business carry their own flags, the bandits on this mountain hardly dare to do anything.

Today is the same as usual. Three messengers rode through Yunchengling quickly with their flags. The merchants resting on both sides were envious and terribly envied. Damn, let’s see how people live their lives. Let’s see how these people live. They all have to wait for more merchants to gather at the intersection of Yunchengling, and then pool money to teach the bandits so that they can pass well. People just rode a horse to the past, and the money they put together is a few hundred thousand silver each year, which is really nothing compared to the Cao family firm. If one day, I can have this ability. Well, let's not talk about the question of spending more or less, even if you have a happy face.

The head of the team rode a tall horse and walked in front of the team. Seeing these merchants on both sides, he couldn't help it. If he brought them, it would be difficult to explain to the three masters.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
