Chapter 485 The assets of Qixing Chamber of Commerce
"Sir, the Praying Star Chamber of Commerce currently has nine potion shops worth 1.2 million gold coins."
"Thirty-seven single-family hotels and eighty-three ordinary hotels, worth 1.33 million gold coins."
"Three high-end restaurants for powerful adventurers, and sixteen popular restaurants for ordinary adventurers, worth 730,000 gold coins."
"Seven massage parlors, worth 230,000 gold coins."
"Twenty-three taverns, including five high-end taverns, eight mid-range taverns, and ten low-end taverns, worth 1.53 million gold coins."
“One plantation covering an area of 300 acres, two plantations covering an area of 200 acres, and five plantations covering an area of 100 acres account for 50% of the food and beverage needs of hotels, restaurants and taverns. Worth two hundred and eighty thousand gold coins.”
"Two leisure manors covering an area of 200 acres, five leisure manors covering an area of 100 acres, and twelve leisure manors covering an area of 50 acres, are worth 480,000 gold coins."
"Two pet breeding bases, worth 650,000 gold coins."
"An adventure guild has three hundred people, one-third of whom are from the territorial army, and the rest are local recruits, with an estimated value of three hundred thousand gold coins."
"Finally, there is Prayer Star Bank, a small bank registered in Maple Leaf City and recognized by Duke Lightend and the Kingdom. It is estimated to be worth three million gold coins. The bank has internal liquidity of 2.5 million gold coins. It does not accept deposits and acts as a prayer bank. Star Chamber of Commerce’s fund aggregation and dispersion place.”
"Not counting working capital, the total value of all properties of the Qixing Chamber of Commerce is 9.73 million gold coins, ranking 83rd among all chambers of commerce in Maple Leaf City."
"Isn't the land valuable?" Weilin asked curiously.
After hearing this, Gary respectfully replied: "Because of the development direction you set twenty years ago, try to be as low-key as possible so as not to arouse the hostility of other chambers of commerce and the attention of major forces. Therefore, the development focus of the Qixing Chamber of Commerce is in other towns in the Maple Leaf Special Economic Zone. There are fewer industries within the city.”
Seeing this scene, Weilin was a little embarrassed. He believed that he had planted the mine to restrict the development of the Qixing Chamber of Commerce, but the current development scale was not bad.
Including working capital, after more than 20 years of development, the original five thousand gold coins have become 9.73 million gold coins, an increase of 1,946 times, which can be regarded as a great achievement.
"My Lord, there is nothing wrong with the ledger, the profit range is reasonable, and there is no discrepancy with the territory's commercial ledger." Kyle closed the last account book and said to Verin.
Gary breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Fortunately, he stuck to his heart. Although he relied on his status as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he used his own gold coins to make some investments within a reasonable range, and did not violate the internal rules of the Qixing Chamber of Commerce.
"Who recommended you?" Weilin asked Gary with a satisfied smile.
"This subordinate was promoted by Lord Duke." Gary replied respectfully.
Verin said with some surprise: "It turns out to be Duke. I thought you were selected by Raimundo."
"My subordinate's achievements today are also inseparable from the guidance and support of Lord Raimondo, but without Lord Duke, my subordinate would not have the opportunity to stand out."
"Stick to your heart and be sincere in your work."
"Thank you for your praise." Gary was overjoyed to be recognized by the lord. For him, this was one of the most exciting moments in his fifty-five years of life.
After some encouragement, Weilin left the Qingxing Chamber of Commerce and prepared to visit the Maple Leaf Special Zone.
After leaving Maple Leaf City, patrols gradually became more frequent.
Although public security has been strengthened, many fights still occur in places far away from the city, either because of quarrels, uneven distribution of spoils, or lust.
However, this is limited to weaker adventurers.
Powerful adventurers do not dare to act recklessly in Duke Lightend's territory. They do not want their heads to be hung on the walls of Assad Fortress.
In contrast, the interior of the Dark World is the best place to resolve disputes.
In a hotel, Weilin was lying on the bed, waiting quietly.
[Six hundred kilometers northwest of the entrance to Maple Leaf Underground World, there are three mutant plants growing, with white leaves and blue stems, which have the effect of soothing the soul. 】
"Repairing the soul is a good thing."
The last time fate guided him to tell him similar news was about the mutated white thorn flower growing on the border of Silver Dragon Burke Kingdom, but it was a pity that he didn't find it.
"Anyway, the fish disaster is a step-by-step process. Let's get the mutant plants first."
Weilin was afraid of the situation like last time, so he decided to get it first.
The next morning, when Kyle learned of his master's decision, he chose to obey.
There are no legendary creatures in the Maple Leaf Underground World. With his strength, even if he encounters danger, he can still evacuate safely with his master.
After changing their itinerary, Weilin and Kyle came to a horse storage place and gave the red phosphorus horse to the other party to raise.
Xiaohong lowered her head and ate the fine forage. Her inner uneasiness at the departure of her master calmed down.
I recall that back then, it was imprisoned in a rock wall. If I hadn't had some strength, I would have starved to death with my little brother inside.
Arriving at Fortress Assad, after inspection, the two successfully entered the fortress city.
Beside the road, countless adventurers squatted on the side of the road, shouting at the top of their lungs to sell the treasures they found in the underground world, or peddling information with saliva, temporarily acting as information dealers.
"You two, do you need a map of the underground world?" A very wretched middle-aged man with a deer-like head and rat-like eyes walked forward with a nod and a low-key sales pitch, "I have the most detailed map here, and it only costs 100 yuan." With gold coins, you can purchase one copy, and it comes with a monster distribution map."
"Not interested." Verin replied coldly.
Since he was deceived last time in Crescent City, Ashe's magical kingdom, he no longer trusts these smooth-talking intelligence dealers.
"Eighty gold coins are fine, as long as..."
Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, he met Weilin's cold, knife-like eyes. He was so frightened that he trembled like chaff and stammered, "It's a small offense."
After the intelligence dealer left like a lost dog, Kyle thought thoughtfully. It seemed that the last fake map incident had left an indelible psychological shadow on his master.
After spending one hundred and twenty gold coins to purchase a map of the underground world from the fortress army, the two paid the passage fee of ten gold coins, walked through the passage, and entered the dark underground world.
The luminous plants on the rock wall shone faintly like stars, illuminating their path forward.
