Teyvat: The road to becoming a god begins in the desert

Dolly was very satisfied with Rod's performance at this moment. She raised her chin and said: "For the sake of your sincere attitude, the kind Lord Sange Mahabhai decided not to care about your previous rudeness and those contraband items on your body. , I will also give you a fair price.”

"I said, I'm not looking for you to sell these souvenirs."

Rhodes showed his most sincere attitude: "Master Sange Mahabhai, I wonder if you are interested in making a small investment."

Chapter 33 Collateral

A small investment?

The proud smile on Dolly's face suddenly disappeared.

"You mean you want me to invest in you?"

Her voice was filled with curiosity.

What is investment?

This is nothing new to Dolly.

simply put.

Invest a sum of money into someone's project and wait until the project makes a profit before sharing the profits. If the project loses money, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.

If you think about it carefully.

There are many doorways here.

Dolly has run multiple investment projects in her hands.

Most of them are projects of the Holy Order.

This is also the protection fee she paid in the Order House.

Otherwise, why would the Holy Orders always turn a blind eye to her illegal behavior?

Is it really impossible to get a handle on it?

It's just that she paid enough protection fee.

There are now many research projects in the Order House that are inseparable from Dolly, and Dolly has also taken this opportunity to expand her business scope.

Everyone has a tacit understanding and mutual benefit.

This is Dolly's true strength.

So when Rod talked about investing, Dolly's interest was immediately piqued.

In the past, her business with the desert people had always been small-scale.

Except for large tribes like the Tanit tribe and large business villages like Aru Village, those small tribes did not have the capital to talk to her about investing in this business.

Why should this little desert citizen in front of me come to talk to me about investment?

Could it be that this strange face in front of him has something special in his hand or has some special identity?

"Are you the son of the chief of Aru Village?"

"No."

"You are the new guardian of Aru Village?"

"No."

"Do you have connections in the Order House?"

"No."

"."

It has nothing to do with it. In other words, this is talking about investment in my own name?

Dolly continued to ask without giving up: "What's your business?"

"Without doing business, I am just an ordinary Aru Village guard."

Rhodes replied honestly.

And this drove Dolly completely crazy.

Dolly is not a snob.

In her case, as long as it is a business that can be done, as long as it is a business that can make money, even if it is just trading a screw, she will spare no effort to invest in it.

But now Rhode's words really made her feel confused.

Go through those questions just now.

She was absolutely sure.

Rhodes is a poor boy with no identity at all.

Invest in him?

Throw a ghost!

Dolly is indeed into all sorts of businesses.

But she never does business at a loss! ! !

"Sir Sange Mahabhai, please don't be impatient."

"Listen to me and then make your decision."

It's a good thing to be honest, but the conversation between Rod and Dolly was really bad. It was so bad that Dolly even had the words "doesn't want to cooperate" written on her face.

Therefore, it is necessary for Rhodes to show his strength.

A plan.

This was the amount of money that Rod dared to ask Dolly for investment.

It comes from the plan that Tinari, a famous scholar of the School of Life and Life, assisted in the planning.

"."

Dolly took the plan, turned it left and right, read it back and forth several times, and then wondered: "What is this? Ancient writing in ancient ruins? If you have information about this ancient writing, It can barely be regarded as something worth investing in, but as a desert citizen, you are not qualified to excavate and study ruins. If you only have this piece of information, you might as well just sell it to me at a price. "

"Uh"

Only then did Rhode realize.

He mistakenly handed Dolly his plan, which was written in Chinese.

"Wait, that's a mistake."

Although it is possible to swindle a sum of money using this kind of writing that Dolly has never seen before.

But this behavior is undoubtedly commercial fraud.

It's okay to lie to others, but to lie to a shrewd and powerful businessman like Dolly is just looking for death.

Rhodes hasn't lived enough yet.

So under Dolly's gaze, he clumsily re-wrote the plan stroke by stroke using Teyvat's words.

"what?"

After getting this brand new plan, Dolly frowned again.

Rhode's handwriting is not too ugly, but there are many typos in it, making it a bit difficult to read.

Fortunately, the cultural level of the desert people is basically the level of those who have not received prenatal education.

Dolly was not surprised that Rod's handwriting could be written like this.

After she read all the contents inside, she looked at Rhodes with a strange expression and said, "Is this your strength?"

"Yes."

Rhodes nodded and asked, "Is it enough?"

"Theoretically it's enough."

"Actually, no one sets an example. The desert weather is complex and changeable, and there are raging bandits and monsters. These plans of yours can easily end up losing all your money and are not cost-effective."

Dolly talks about things.

Rhode's plan is a series of operations that he will follow up on using grass slime and other methods to regulate soil erosion, and supplementing it with animal husbandry to improve the economy.

This plan is very long-term.

There are many links involved and many molas required.

If it can be completed successfully.

Then Aru Village can be transformed into an economically diversified and independent village.

The benefits that can be gained here are visible to the naked eye.

But the premise is.

That’s what I just said if the plan can be successfully completed.

Dolly could see the value of the plan at a glance.

Just take into account the complex and changeable climate of the desert and the intricate distribution of forces.

Dolly was still not very optimistic about the prospects of this plan.

In her words.

"Your plan only looks good in theory. Use grass slime to replace the benefits of fertility, improve soil fertility, plant cash crops that are suitable for the desert environment and crops that can be eaten by livestock, and use livestock manure as food. Fertilizer, in order to achieve a small ecological cycle. "

Dolly shook off the plan in her hand, shook her head and said: "But, guest, I still want to remind you that theory is theory and reality is reality. I have seen many scholars from the Imperial Academy put forward an excellent idea like this." theory, and then applied for a large amount of funding or even borrowed money to study it, spending a lot of time and money, but in the end it was defeated by reality and lost everything.”

She did not continue speaking.

But the meaning is already obvious.

That means she is not optimistic about this plan.

Things that make sense.

Rhodes did not show his disappointment, but continued to propose another idea: "So, can Master Sange Mahabhai provide me with some loans for this plan?"

"loan?"

Dolly was startled.

She soon realized that the real purpose of Rhodes looking for her was not to seek investment at all, but just for this loan, right?

She is no stranger to loans.

One of Dolly's business projects happens to be lending money.

just.

"Loans require collateral, do you have one?"

Dolly said in disbelief.

Rod was a poor boy with nothing, and Dolly knew it very well.

What can he take out and pledge it to himself in exchange for a loan?

However, after Rod took out his collateral, Dolly's eyes almost popped out.

It's the ice blue glass bead hanging around his waist.

One piece is definitely enough collateral to exchange for a high loan!

Eye of God!

This extremely poor desert man was actually willing to use his Eye of God as collateral in order to borrow money from him! ! !

Chapter 34 Special Recruitment Quota for the Teaching Order

(I changed the previous plot slightly. It was originally written to use the Eye of Vulcan as collateral, but after thinking about it, I felt it was not appropriate. If I wrote it this way, it would be unreasonable and there would be loopholes in the subsequent plot, so I changed it to Eyes of the Ice God.)

Eye of God.

This is a valuable thing.

You know how many people dream of this thing but can't get it.
