Chapter 414 - Luring People Onto The s.h.i.+p

"I know you're right, but the question is, you've been a soldier for so many years. Are you used to doing business all of a sudden?"

"Also, doing business requires you to learn a lot of things, like those financial rules, all kinds of laws, and it's very complicated. Have you learned all of these?"

"Can you continue learning? Will you suddenly commit suicide halfway through?"

Karman could finally see that Lei Luo wasn't afraid of him being disgusted to death.

Thus, he couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with Lei Luo. He only said this lightly, "There will always be a way out. Let's take it one step at a time."

Seeing Karman's unconcerned expression, Lei Luo understood that this guy was at a loss.

Doing business? Are you kidding me? Lord Karman's financial situation is not as optimistic as being short of money.

Even though he is just a nominal lord, he still has to spend money to buy it. The senate is a complete economic animal. Without money, you can forget about getting anything from it.

Forty years ago, even though he had the face of King Beichen, to get the t.i.tle of a nominal lord, he needed a whole million gold coins. The king would not give him this amount of money.

This amount of money could only be paid by Karman himself. For this amount of money, Karman owed more than 800,000 gold coins.

The salary that King Beichen paid him was only a pitiful 10,000 gold coins a year.

A year ago, after he came to Ulysses, his salary had slightly increased, reaching about 12,000 to 13,000 gold coins a year.

This income was just enough for Karman's basic expenses every year, as well as for his studies and self-growth.

Today, although the people who lent money to Carl were all friends who gave him the most touching low-interest rate, Carl's wealth still went from minus 800,000 gold coins to minus 2,000,000 gold coins.

"How about I partner with you?"

Feeling that it was almost time, Lei Luo suddenly turned his head and looked at Karman with a smile.

"You?"

Karman opened his eyes wide and looked at Lei Luo.

"Do you have to be so surprised?"

Lei Luo opened his eyes even wider than Karman.

"You've been going around me for a long time, so you want to tell me this? But why should I cooperate with you?"

As Karman said this, he raised his head and laughed proudly.

"It's very simple. I have money. Compared to those plutocrats, it may not be much, but I can easily invest three to five million gold coins."

"Besides, since I can take down the Holy City of Beauty, I still have some fleets. In addition, the Dragon G.o.d fleet that Ulysses gave me can be considered to have some capital."

While Lei Luo said this, he thought to himself, 'With your wealth, you actually said that you want to do business. From this, it can be seen that your personality is very optimistic. A few million gold coins and a pheasant fleet is nothing to a true lord. But it's a pity that you are just an empty lord with no city, no money, and no s.h.i.+ps. Stop being so high and mighty and quickly follow me, Young Master.'

Just as Lei Luo thought, when he thought about Lei Luo's advantage, Karman's heart indeed palpitated.

In the past few decades, he had been afraid of being poor. After so many years of hards.h.i.+p, he had been high-spirited and arrogant in the past. He had long been stifled into a sour mood.

Although the person in front of him did not have much capital, he knew a little about his experience. It took courage to say that he had no future at all.

Although his mind was active, he had looked down on him just now. If he accepted the invitation now, it would be a little embarra.s.sing.

After hesitating for a long time, Karman cleared his throat and said, "I have a very bad temper. Even King Beichen and Prince Julius can't tolerate me...I don't know if Sir Lei Luo and I can get along."

"We're doing business together, not dating. As long as we divide the benefits, we can do our own things. What's there to talk about?"

Karman thought for a while and nodded. That was true. "Then, about money..."

"The money is mine, and the fleet is mine too. As long as you invest in yourself, you don't have to invest in anything else."

"After you leave the military, I estimate that you'll lose about 10,000 to 15,000 gold coins a year. I'll pay you 10 times the highest salary in your history and give you 150,000 gold coins a year. How about that?" Lei Luo said without thinking.

Karman didn't even need to use his brain to figure it out. He knew that this was a deal worth making. Moreover, he knew that this was the best choice that he could get.

Thus, he finally stopped being reserved.

"Do we...need to prepare a contract?"

"Don't worry about that. I have already finished all of it. I am just waiting for you to sign it."

As Lei Luo spoke, he immediately took out a contract from his pocket.

Karman took the contract. There were dozens of small and large items on it.

When he saw these things, Karman couldn't help but laugh.

"I say, you've been cooped up in the cabin this week. Are you just thinking about how to trick me into getting on your s.h.i.+p?"

Lei Luo smiled very kindly and said truthfully, "That's not it. I'm not just trying to trick you."

One wouldn't know if one didn't look carefully. After a closer look, Karman realized that he wasn't the only one that Lei Luo had tricked.

That was because he and Lei Luo weren't the only two people on the guild list. There were a total of five people.

They were Lei Luo, Allie, Morton, Zha Mu, and himself.

What made Karman feel even more curious was that the largest member in the guild was not Lei Luo, but Allie.

She had 51% of the voting rights in the entire guild.

Lei Luo was not even the second largest member. The second largest member was Morton, who had 20% of the voting rights.

As for Zha Mu, just like himself, he also had 10% of the voting rights in the guild.

On the other hand, Lei Luo only had 9% of the voting rights.

Upon seeing this, Karman immediately questioned him. "Could this be a fake?"

"Of course not. We are building a real guild. We don't play tricks. All of our fleets, including the Dragon G.o.d fleet, will be cla.s.sified as belonging to the guild."

"If that's the case, why do you have so little voting rights?"

Faced with Karman's questioning gaze, he laughed.

"I really want to tell you that the real reason is because I'm indifferent to fame and fortune, but I know you won't believe me. So you can think whatever you want. You can imagine that I'm having an affair with Allie. Her voting rights are actually completely under my control. You can also understand that I'm doing this with ulterior motives."
