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

"The time limit is five years."

"If you win, I will sell myself to you. You wouldn't mind having a thug with the Eye of God, right?"

"If I win, then I don't ask too much. Just give me a permanent distinguished membership and give me a 50% discount on anything I buy from you in the future."

This seems like a very unfair bet.

If Rhodes lost, it would be equivalent to signing the most despicable contract of prostitution in the desert.

Rhodes won, and Dolly didn't suffer much loss. Judging from her style of selling things with at least 100% profit, even if she permanently gave Rhodes a 50% discount, she would not make any money at most, and there would definitely be no problems. Loss.

Such a good bet.

Dolly thought for a moment and then agreed.

Even knowing that Rhodes dared to make such a bet, he must have some confidence.

But that’s the nature of Dolly.

Since it was a business with a guaranteed profit, there was no reason for her to refuse.

"Then let's sign the contract quickly."

After Dolly agreed, Rod didn't realize that he had done a loss-making business. Instead, he seemed a little impatient.

His eagerness gave Dolly a bad feeling.

自己

Did you promise something outrageous?

soon.

Her premonition came true.

As soon as the paper contract between the two was signed, Rhodes immediately said: "Master Sangge Mahabhai, treating Kelai's magic scale disease is a very expensive thing, and I don't want you to donate a sum in vain. As for the medical expenses, as per the old rules, please lend me a Mora for the time being."

"but."

"There's something I need to explain beforehand."

"That means I have no collateral to give you this time."

After saying that, Rhodes looked at Dolly with a smile and said, "You don't want to have a reputation of deliberately making it impossible for your opponent to complete the contract, right?"

Chapter 51 Visiting the Experimental Field

No collateral.

This is equivalent to lending money to Rhodes in vain.

Dolly's hands immediately started to tremble after being kidnapped by the contract.

She never expected it.

I have been wise all my life, but I fell into such a trap with Rhodes.

If it were another businessman here.

Then Rhodes will definitely be beaten after saying this.

They don't care about their reputation.

But Dolly is different.

Dolly is a person who attaches great importance to reputation.

In her opinion, a good reputation is very helpful for the expansion of her business. Only in this way can buyers trust her and molas can come to her.

So no matter how bad your other reputation is.

Dolly has always had extremely strict requirements in terms of punctuality, quality assurance and after-sales, which are things that desert merchants basically do not comply with more or less.

same.

Regarding her negative reputation, except for the word profiteer, she is very concerned about other reputations.

Now what does Rhodes mean?

That is, if he didn't lend him the money in vain, then he would give himself the big label of "making a contract but deliberately influencing the opponent so that the opponent cannot complete the contract."

This was a reputation that was very detrimental to Dolly.

Once word spreads.

Dolly's future business will be affected.

Business is affected, which means Mora makes less money.

Mora makes less.

It would be better to kill Dolly.

Looking at Dolly, who was so angry that her lips were trembling, Rhodes smiled with a smile on his lips, not caring at all whether he would be retaliated against.

This is a problem of poor information.

Dolly didn't understand Rod's behavior and thick skin.

But Rod knew Dolly very well.

simply put.

This is a profiteer who has not completely lost his conscience and is very principled and moral.

Last time Rhodes was able to exchange an already activated Eye of God that was completely worthless for a loan.

It's because Dolly has a lingering conscience.

The future and prospects that were worthless to other businessmen were worth paying for with Dolly.

The same is true now.

Rhodes took advantage of it this time.

One is Dolly’s character who will never refuse a business that is sure to make a profit.

Another one is Dolly’s very principled requirements for her own reputation.

She would never allow herself to be saddled with someone who would affect her reputation as Mora.

With the name of a profiteer, Xumi's huge market demand will not prevent her from easily selling those high-premium items.

But if the name is used to deliberately break the contract, then this is a matter of principle. If the other party is concerned about this and does not do business with Dolly, it will be very bad.

And Dolly is a very moral character.

It also ensured that under the protection of this contract, Rhodes would not suffer her revenge for irritating her.

Such information differences.

It was enough to keep Rhodes from falling behind in his negotiations with Dolly, and even allow her to lend money to a stranger like him again without using any collateral.

as predicted.

After hesitating, struggling and resenting for a long time, Dolly reluctantly said: "Master Sange Mahabhai can only lend you money this time. You can figure out the subsequent expenses by yourself. I don't have a single mola." I’ll take care of you again.”

Say it.

Her cheeks twitched slightly, and she said with a very bad expression: "It's still one million molas, is it more? The time limit is the five years in the contract. Your loan has now accumulated to two million molas. If you don't pay it back by then, If so, hum——"

Dolly didn't say anything more after that.

Anyway, in the desert, anyone who borrowed money from her and didn't pay it back would end up badly. Rhode just needed to know this.

"Thank you very much, Lord Sange Mahabhai."

Rod didn't have the habit of giving in when something was cheap, and he sincerely thanked Dolly for her generosity.

He didn't want to get too serious with Dolly yet.

There will be many places where Dolly will be used in the future.

And this time it will be done.

It's because he is short of money now.

When he first got the one million moras borrowed from Dolly, he felt that the money was enough given the desert area's spending power.

can be put into practice.

He found that he still underestimated the cost of doing research.

After originally ordering seeds, saplings and other things from Dolly, Rhodes still had more than 700,000 mola in hand.

But after he completed everything he needed.

Half of the 700,000 molas were gone.

Rhodes has made some rough calculations in the past few days. If the experimental field is destroyed again due to natural disasters such as sandstorms or monster attacks in the future, it will cost a lot of money to replant it.

Not to mention that he still has irrigation canals and other infrastructure that require routine maintenance.

After careful calculation.

Rhodes came to the conclusion that the money on hand was definitely not enough.

At that time, he had already considered asking Dolly to borrow some money.

But I have nothing valuable on hand.

It was impossible for him to mortgage the Eye of Fire Elemental God on hand.

other things.

The only thing that can be called valuable is the technical means he has in his hands, but before it is put into practice, this cannot be sold at a high price.

And he and Dolly were not acquaintances.

Unlike Kawei, who has the title of 'The Most Outstanding Young Architect in Xumi', Rhodes can borrow money based on his reputation.

So after much thought, the only way to get an unsecured loan from Dolly was through this information gap.

In general.

The results are good.

Now that Maura has it, this bet can also become her own protective umbrella.

Dolly will not allow any accidents to happen to the products she invests in before the contract is reached.

This deal.

Rhodes was satisfied.

But Dolly was not happy.

Originally, she was just curious about how a desert dweller could grow food in the desert without using the benefits of fertility.

That's why she followed her caravan to Aru Village, ready to find out.

In Dolly's original plan.

She came to Aru Village this time mainly to observe Rhodes' experimental field.

If after the on-site inspection, it was determined that the plan that Rhodes showed her was indeed meaningful and valuable for implementation.

Then she wouldn't mind changing the previous loan contract to an investment contract.

Even said.

After Rhodes' experiment yields results, she will buy out the technology at a large price and make it her own. Then she will go to the desert area to sell it and use this technology to ruthlessly sell it. Make a fortune.

It’s just that after signing this bet plus a new loan contract.

Dolly's mood has hit rock bottom, and she has no intention of seeing what the Rhodes Experimental Field is like.

But she wasn't in the mood.

It doesn't mean that Rhodes is not in the mood.

"Sir Sange Mahabhai, would you like to visit my experimental field?"

Rod's face that needed to be beaten once again approached the depressed Dolly: "Just in time, all the goods I ordered have arrived. In less than two days, you can see the new look of this experimental field."
