The Legendary Mechanic

“So, Dragon Tan's Black Star, what exactly do you need and want my help? ”

Once again, he came to Rockefells' mansion, where Han Xiao met Rockefells alone, sitting opposite each other, and the servants served refreshments.

After a short chat, Rockefellers opened the door and asked.

“My time is precious, if you need anything, just say it. ”

Han Xiao put down his cup and leaned forward, "Well, let me get this straight, my mercenary regiment is Long Tan's field force. It's been operating for a year and a half. It's time to expand it. It's bigger. I shoulder the name of Emmers. I can't continue to make small noises. The structure of Tianhuan, Blade and other large regiments is the direction of the construction of Black Star. The stronger the field force, the stronger Long Tan will be, so I need some financial support to form a large battalion dedicated to the mercenary regiment, not a temporary position to rent. ”

His 2.0 Preliminary Preparation Plan, with the core goal of expanding the camp and then guiding the players of Sea Blue Star into the mercenary regiment in the alienation disaster, while Godora and Dark Star were both competitors, and the player would have had to choose only one in both camps, and Han Xiao wanted to provide a new way out for the player as a third party, so there was more “neutrality” than he represented outside the original “righteousness and evil”.

Based on this, the problem followed, and in order to accommodate tens of thousands of players, the camp's hardware facilities would need to be significantly upgraded, otherwise it would not be possible to receive and attract more members.

The most critical factor in attracting players is the benefits. Even if meatpack shows nurture a large audience to the mercenary corps, it is difficult to generate electricity with love for the long term, so the task resources provided to players are crucial. Han Xiao had a long plan for this, and the mercenary corps was established to be the intermediary for the task release, connecting employers and players, thus leveraging the almost endless task resources of the mercenary community to cultivate his own camp, retain players, form a camp attraction, and accumulate a reputation for the mercenary corps.

In addition to the characteristics of the mercenary regiment itself, he also has the intention of NPC resource locations, with numerous means of giving benefits.

In addition to mission resources, another focus is on camp specialties. In addition to absorbing the professional knowledge and skills of large households, mechanical creation is naturally his characteristic. However, it is impossible to complete large quantities of orders on its own production capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to consider mass production issues, start assembling pipelines and build its own military factory… With the current level of knowledge and manufacturing, it is practically feasible to build pipelines.

So that raises the second question, where do we put the pipeline? If so many players are admitted, the mercenary regiment must have a huge, fixed and dedicated stronghold, equivalent to a camp castle, otherwise it is not conducive to fostering a sense of belonging. Only a "stronghold” with its own is like a regular army. Even professional guerrilla fighters talk about a rural encircled city, and the location, security, resources, functionality, etc. of the stronghold are all problems.

So the third question, traffic! Since there is a surge in membership, travel is a problem. It is not conducive for players to maintain the heat of the Castle. There must be a dedicated spacecraft of the camp… or a long-term cooperation agreement with a number of Star Travel Groups.

These are just basic issues, and there are many piecemeal challenges, such as finding a stable supplier of raw materials, contacting engineering teams, etc. Expanding the camp is like expanding the size of a company, which requires a lot of preparation and spending everything to increase the scope of business.

Combined with Nagokin's remuneration, Han Xiao had more than half a million inar left in his savings. In the previous days, he broke his finger index and thought that the money was choking enough to hurt a little carefully with his wallet. So, at this time, he met Rockefells, commonly for the purpose of pulling investments.

“Scaling up field forces…" Rockefellers glanced. “Is that what Ames means? ”

“Ames was never in charge, and you should know that, I'm the head of the field force, and that's the plan I'm working on.” Han Xiaodao.

“I guess it's not her idea...” Rockefellers changed his posture to look more audacious, fully showing the money is the master's bottom line, like laughing and not laughing: “So how much do you want? ”

“How much would you like to give?” Han Xiao threw the problem back.

Rockefells straightaway opened the subject, “So far, I have provided nine grants to Lontan, totalling around 24 million Inar. This will not be the last number. I still have the intention to invest in Lontan. Jenny and I are old acquaintances. Her rewards are the reason I insist on investing, enjoy the prestige of Emmers, and let me earn back profits that satisfy me from other sources. ”

Then, he shut up and looked at Han Xiao with a smile. The sub line is what you can give me in return.

By investing in Longtan, he gets some kind of permission from big executive Jenny to share some of Emmers' influence, and then engages in commercial negotiations or political activities, equivalent to investing in the influence of the strong, and then using his influence to make money, one by one, two, and only make much more money than he invested in. Then the question arises, why invest in Longtan's headquarters in such a return? Why invest in Longtan's field forces? And this is only a personal plan of Han Xiao. If Emmers meant it, he would give money, black star... not so big a face.

In return, Han Xiao smiled and suddenly said: "I'm sure you have my intel, then you know that I have some undead fighters under my command. ”

Rockefells nodded, "Well, I also noticed they're not with you right now. ”

“They are natural mercenaries, far more than you can imagine, and I know all of them, and it's not just the infrastructure, it's the increase in membership, I don't have to hire other mercenaries on the free market, they're what I think, and if you invest, I can quickly scale up and join a large mercenary corps, and then I'll give you satisfaction - even if you have Jenny's permission, sometimes you need Lontan's fighting forces to show up personally to help you convince your competitors, or a large mercenary corps willing to accept your unpaid hire privately? ”

Han Xiao selectively revealed part of the story, persuading investors to depict the prospects of the project. Although there is also a stock market between the stars, a mercenary regiment is far from reaching the entry threshold and naturally does not qualify as a white wolf with empty gloves.

And he is not afraid to divulge the existence of the player, sooner or later the player will join the stars, by which time the natural person will know all about it, and even if he tells Rockefells some information during the version update, the other party will not be able to do anything, because now even a player's hair cannot be found!

This is a new idea he recently came up with - making NPC aware of players' potential and attracting them to invest actively.

The meeting at this time was a calf test knife, and he was experimenting with the feasibility of this idea.

Rockefells will be suspicious, thought-provoking and silent. Han Xiao's proposal gives him some interest. Helping Long Tan build a field force may be a good project, but Black Star is also a member of Long Tan, but trust is not enough to reassure him to invest.

Han Xiao thought it would be a while, but less than ten seconds later, Rockefellers made a decision, and the leader of this big consortium was doing a great job.

“I won't give you funding. ”

“That's too bad you missed a project that pays far more than you invest in.” Han Xiao shook his head.

At this point, Rockefellers turned, “But I can give you a loan, four million Inar, for a three-year period, and for Lontan's sake, I'll give you a simple interest rate, repayment within a year, and I won't charge you interest. I charge you 10% interest, or 400,000, for repayment within one to two years. Between two and three years, 20,800 percent. Over three years, 40 percent, 1.6 million, that's my deal. ”

Han Xiaokou, the interest is a bit exploded, within a year, it was fine, more than three years were simply blown up in leggings, almost comparable to a high interest loan, which is because he has a Longtan background as a guarantee, Rockefells is only willing to borrow money.

Money is really...

“Okay, I promise. ”

Han Xiao nodded, he was not worried about paying back the money. Version 2.0 opened within a year. As long as the player returned, he feared he could count the money to a cramp in his brain!

Don't say it's payback, even if we buy the Norios Consortium, we can't afford this... cough, excitement.

Rockefells took out the comms, pointed out a loan document, signed by each side, which had the force of law, backed up in the archives of various civilizations that he was familiar with, protected by the laws of those civilizations. In previous life, there was an association of players who greeded money for non-repayment, so the relationship between these civilized camps plummeted, and the ceiling of camp sentiment dropped to 2999 points, meaning that the relationship of [respect] could never be reached, and then the trust of personal identity decreased, and it was no longer possible to lend, and the serious ones would become wanted.

If the Guild wants to get a loan, it needs to invest a lot of energy to improve the camp relationship, not pay back the money, and bury all the accumulated relationships out. As long as the Guild has the vision, it will not do anything to break the promise of pulling out the seedlings and promoting the sight of the rats.

Neither did Han Xiao.

Ding...

Han Xiao's account received the transfer. At first glance, the deposit amount turned into “4,581,010”.

Rockefeller was very happy with the money and was able to spend over seven million dollars to buy celestial jewellery, a small investment for him.

But Han Xiao was a huge start-up fund at that time.

“So happy to cooperate. ”

Standing up, Han Xiao shook hands with Rockefells and was taken away from the mansion by the butler. He went straight back to the hotel where Merloth and others were stationed, supervised Sylvia's homework for a while and then went back to his room to think.

“I really got the investment, it looks like the camp has more influence than I thought. With the start-up funds, just choose a good place to start building the base camp... uh, what planet is better, not far from the sea blue star, but also close to the interstellar...”

Beep beep...

Thinking about it, the transmitter suddenly rang, and the chief executive, Jenny, sent out a communication, she didn't look well, and the first sentence after the connection was questioned:

“Rockefellers told me why you didn't inform me in advance when you applied to him privately for a loan. ”

“Jenny, would you agree? ”

“Don't call me Jenny. You should call me the chief executive. I certainly wouldn't agree.” Jennifer speaks categorically that she has always maintained a biased corner and that building a field force is, in her view, an unnecessary expense, and that Ames never needed a much stronger armed force.

“What else do I tell you to do?” Han Xiaodian, who understands Jenny, who is in charge of finance and commerce and has a strong sense of control, would not agree that the field forces are big, although they are cadres of the same camp, but there is a conflict of philosophy and business.

Of course, the core paradox was that Jenny didn't trust him enough, after all, to join Lontan's mercenary halfway.

Jenny chopped the railroad: “I command you, return the loan immediately, you cannot accept any form of funds without my permission! ”
