Chapter 214: First batch of manpower

After the banquet, formal negotiations were held. With Derrick present, Xia Duo could not suppress them as a mage, and the other party did not dare to fool Xia Duo with his professionalism.
Originally, this was a mutually willing cooperation. Most of the issues were discussed in just a few words. The most important price and stability have also been reached.
Seeing that the contract was about to be signed, he froze on a question.
"Three, this exclusive clause is absolutely impossible." Xia Duo said coldly.
This has already touched his bottom line. Let alone the limited strength of these three chambers of commerce, even if they are very strong, Xia Duo would not agree to the so-called exclusive clause.
There is a saying in my hometown, "Tai Ah is upside down, give people a handle." It is extremely unwise to trust all territorial material affairs on these three chambers of commerce.
Besides, he has signed a cooperation contract with Mrs. Patty, so he can't make him regret it!
If this is regretted, it is estimated that he will immediately be on the blacklist of the Lord of Radiance!
Xia Duo's attitude was firm, and there was no room for compromise. If you succeed, you will succeed. If you fail to achieve it, forget it. Anyway, if you eat for nothing tonight, there is a bottle of spirit fruit wine, which is not a loss.
The scene froze like this. At this time, Derrick, as the middleman, came out to make a round. He had much contact with the mages. Naturally, he knew that once the mages had decided, it would be difficult to change.
"It's okay to remove this, but the delivery of all materials and personnel must be settled on the spot, and the money and goods must be settled." The President of the Hans Chamber of Commerce put forward such a suggestion.
The two parties discussed before that Xia Duo had a certain credit line in the name of the pioneer and mage, within this line, he could withdraw materials at will.
Wait until the territory is profitable before repaying.
But all this has a prerequisite-exclusive!
But now that the exclusion clause is removed, it must be settled on the spot. This is too realistic, Xia Duo frowned, but if you can guarantee that you have money, it will be acceptable.
Chateau was considering whether to advance some of the gold coins from Mrs. Patty to settle with these three chambers of commerce, or whether to transfer the channels of these three chambers of commerce directly to Mrs. Patty.
The latter is easier, while the former may be safer.
After hesitating a bit, Xia Duo decided to hold it in his hand first, and wait for the trust between Mrs. Patty to increase in the future, or wait for him to become stronger, maybe it would be a good choice to leave it to her.
The presidents of the three chambers of commerce here were all waiting for Xia Duo's reply. Xia Duo didn't want to get too entangled, so he directly agreed.
Although it is now settled on the spot and the money and goods are settled, it is still necessary to sign a contract. Xia Duo needs to ensure the stability of the input and output of personnel and materials.
The stability is relative, and Xia Duo must also guarantee the monthly purchase volume.
Xia Duo had the final say. If 100 ordinary people and 20 escorts were organized to explore abroad, the food cost per month would cost at least several thousand gold coins!
Of course, the market price calculated here can be used to solve part of the food from the forest when it is actually opened up.
Others, such as buying serfs, recruiting workers, guards, etc., are all gold swallowing beasts, and once the pioneering machine is activated, what waits for Xia Duo to succeed in the development and make a lot of money, or completely play and go bankrupt.
In fact, Xia Duo had no bottom in his heart. He decided that once he started to develop, he must borrow more from Mrs. Patty, and even borrowed a lot when he was familiar with these three chambers of commerce.
As long as they are locked up, Xia Duo can feel more at ease, anyway, his worst outcome is that he failed to exploit and made no money.
He deserves to be a mage, and he continues to be.
Becoming a pioneer and gaining territory is an unexpected joy, and the master is his job.
Thinking about it this way, Chateaudun felt open-minded and readily signed a sacred contract with the three presidents and Derrick. Derrick was an unexpected witness and supervisor of the Lord of Radiance.
"Three presidents, happy cooperation!"
"Mage Xia Duo, no, Lord Xia Duo, happy cooperation!"
Several people looked at each other and smiled, and the tension before it became a lot more harmonious.
...
After leaving Edridge's house, Chateau did not immediately return to the Mage Tower, but dropped in to Mrs. Patty's house and asked him to talk about his cooperation with the three chambers of commerce.
Although Mrs. Patty was surprised that Xia Duo had found three collaborators so quickly, she smiled confidently when she heard the names of the three chambers of commerce.
"Master Xia Duo, the Leighton Chamber of Commerce has already organized the first batch of people. When will you be free to check it out?"
"So fast?!"
Only two days have passed since the last time the contract was signed. Xia Duo was surprised that a group of people had been organized so quickly, "How many? Who are they?"
"The first batch of only 20 people were all free people in the town. They lived in poverty. It was difficult for them to get ahead in Saville. They all wanted to get a way out from scratch in Daxia."
"Okay!" Xia Duo immediately gave a big pie, "As long as the territory is successfully developed, everyone will have a reward, whether it is the field, gold or silver, or even their offspring who want to learn magic, I will also give it a chance."
This kind of people who are involved in the whole process of development and have a certain degree of initiative, if not surprising, will be Xia Duo's hard-core supporters.
They pin everything on the development of their territory and on Xia Duo. Naturally, Xia Duo will not let them down. There must be a big pie.
Moreover, Xia Duo's development is different from that of Savile Ling. Da Xia Ling started from scratch and made it from scratch. As long as he can persist, he can see hope.
The ancestors of many big figures in Savile were mostly ordinary people who developed with the original lords at the beginning~EbookFREE.me~ Although Chardonnay is not comparable to the Great Arcanist, as long as there is hope of successful development, he can attract people.
Mrs. Patty went on to introduce,
One of these people is a cobbler, with a good craftsmanship, but poor management and owed a lot of money. Even the shops left by their ancestors went out. Most of the others were transporters on the dock. Someone has been an adventurer."
"By the way, there is also a priest of the Glory Lord. I heard that the Leaton Chamber of Commerce recruited people to open up new territories, and that priest actively asked to participate."
Priest? Actively request participation? Xia Duo's brows tightened, he did not dislike the temple, nor did he reflect the teachings of the Lord of Light, but Xia Duo was a little uncertain about letting the clergy of the Lord of Light come in so early.
"What is the priest's name? Did you say that he had any purpose?"
"The priest called himself Leiden, but he only said he wanted to participate in the pioneering, and he didn't say other purposes." Mrs. Patty explained.
But her explanation made Xia Duo even more confused, so she asked again, "Can you contact him? Can you make an appointment?"
For the people of the temple, Xia Duo is still cautious. After all, it is God's father standing behind them. If you don't figure out the other party's purpose, Xia Duo will find it difficult to feel at ease.
"The Leiden priest said that he can go to the temple to find him, he will not leave recently!"
Xia Duo looked up at the timing rune on the top of the wizard tower in the west, and found that it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening, so he said goodbye:
"In this case, Mrs. Trouble will help me ask him to meet tomorrow afternoon.
"At that time, we will discuss the specific development plan. Madam should have prepared in the past two days. It is too late today. I will return to the Mage Tower first and talk about it tomorrow."
