Chapter 101 It Is Right to Contribute to the Organization!

The investigation team of the Santo's plan has arrived?

where is it?

Xu Nan was a little guilty and a little surprised.

The unknown city was transformed from the body of the boarding ship Liuhuo. Although Xu Nan would not be abnormal enough to monitor every corner of the city, he had already ordered Liuhuo that any personnel who lost paradise must do the first thing when they approach. Report immediately!

Is Paradise Lost's anti-reconnaissance technology surpassing Liuhuo's ability?

In this regard, Xu Nan expressed deep doubts. After all, in the thousands of years since the Arcane Empire left, many related technologies of Paradise Lost have lost their "learning" objects, and the growth rate is appallingly slow. Even with Stephen Sang as a substitute, However, in terms of technology such as boarding the cloud ship, Paradise Lost is still relatively backward.

But the system's prompt will definitely not be false.

Then the answer is ready to come out.

"There are very few people from the investigation team? And are they big bosses?"

Xu Nan suddenly stood up from his seat, thinking about how to deal with the upcoming big shot, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in?" Xu Nan was mentally prepared, and seemed much calmer about the sudden report from the elephant guard.

Sure enough, one of the guards, the elephant man, reported that a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance was waiting outside, saying that he wanted to see City Lord Xu.

"It's not too arrogant to not break in directly."

"Please come in." Xu Nan took a deep breath and said quickly.

Not long after, under Xu Nan's surprised gaze, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

"You are..."

Before Xu Nan could ask, the other party had already taken off his hat with a smile, put it on Xu Nan's table, and comforted him at the same time:

"Don't be nervous, do you think I'm really stupid enough to check your city's grooming?"

"Relax, it's just a formality."

Offee naturally sat on the sofa next to her: "Can I have a cup of coffee?"

Xu Nan nodded.

Naturally, there is a girl from the Iceland next to her who is not very skilled in pouring good coffee for the strange visitor-this is something that Xu Nan has prepared long ago.

"It tastes good." Ofi gave an objective evaluation.

"Thank you for the twenty constant gold coins."

Xu Nan touched his nose, he was actually testing.

Offee's movements froze immediately, and he shrugged immediately: "It's okay, anyway, this time is a business trip, and all expenses can be reimbursed."

Xu Nan breathed a sigh of relief.

Offie's attitude explained a lot, which made his previous cautious actions seem redundant.

As the chairman of the council said, the investigation team is just going through the motions.

"That's right, it's an objective fact that the city lord's plan selected Unknown City. In addition, An Suli and Teacher Luo Mang must have decided the final candidate by default. The so-called investigation team is mostly just a formality."

"Even if there are voices of resistance inside Paradise Lost, no one will be stupid enough to oppose the two legends."

Xu Nan estimated that the organizing committee of the 69th Plan itself was the main member of the investigation team, but since Paradise Lost chose to let the chairman of the parliament with whom he has a good relationship, Offie, come to investigate, it is basically releasing the greatest comfort and peace to himself. good intentions.

Offi belongs to the middle school in Paradise Lost, and strictly speaking, he does not favor any legend. It is most appropriate to let him handle this matter; if he directly sends the Warlock of the Roman faction to investigate, it seems a bit too contrived.

"To be honest, you did a good job." After joking, Offee began to comment seriously: "I can feel the vitality and enthusiasm of this city from the inside out..."

"That's the Icelanders breeding offspring..." Xu Nan coughed.

Offee continued to praise without changing his face: "At least I have never seen a cleaner street than yours. Many factories and buildings look brand new!"

"It's brand new. It's not like you don't know the characteristics of the Climbing Ship." Xu Nan looked at Ao Fei innocently.

Offie laughed loudly and said:

"One of the great things about it is that you pick a really good and sensible location that's very close to the surface, but has very strong security and seclusion, and I think the city has all the foundations of a great city !"

Xu Nan herself felt a little blushed. He really chose the position at will.

Feelings, the chairman of the parliament came all the way here just to blow a wave of the unknown city? Xu Nan herself felt embarrassed.

In the next second, a miraculous thing happened. A wriggling piece of letter paper suddenly flew out, and a quill pen quickly wrote on it, writing what Offie said word for word on it.

Xu Nan glanced at it casually, and there were many exaggerated words in it, praising the potential and excellence of the unknown city.

Soon, the official investigation paper was written. Offee snapped his fingers, and the letter disappeared. He probably flew back to the Lost Paradise headquarters to report back.

"The process is over?"

Xu Nan asked curiously, "When will the first batch of aid materials and personnel arrive?"

The reward part of the city master plan clearly states that there will be rewards in this regard, but the current unknown city lacks a lot of things, and Xu Nan can't wait to make up for it in one go.

However, Offee just shook his head, and suddenly slapped an agreement on the table.

"This is the franchise agreement for the city of Lost Paradise, please go through it first."

"After signing this agreement, the aid will arrive soon, and the unknown city will truly become the first power of the lost paradise in the main material world."

"I must remind you that Paradise Lost has many enemies in this world. Of course, we also have many friends, but in general, there are more enemies."

Offee touched his chin: "But you should have realized long ago, what is the price of being a bird in the first place."

Xu Nan quickly flipped through the franchise agreement to build the city, suppressing the desire to devour and digest it, and analyzed many clauses in it with 【Insights】as much as possible.

Of course, he was well aware of Ofe's hint.

How could such a hated profession as Ron Warlock have no enemies? If I enjoy the great assistance from Paradise Lost, I will definitely pay a lot of price.

Opportunities and dangers are always closely related. Xu Nan has long been prepared to face all dangers - which of course includes all aspects of running away.

In general, he believes that the benefits of this move outweigh the risks. After all, the current Unknown City is apparently built by Stephen Sang, and Paradise Lost is just slowly laying out. It is estimated that in the next few years, unless the gods suddenly have It's time to manage them, otherwise no one will know the true details of the unknown city.

Regarding the city building agreement, it is basically more detailed than what was written in the city lord's plan. Xu Nan refined the program, which basically means that Xu Nan owns the sovereignty of the unknown city, but he must ensure that this city is part of the opening of Lost Paradise.

In the future, the Lost Paradise official will have the right of acquisition priority in Unknown City, as well as many preferential privileges for product sales, and when necessary, Xu Nan must respond to the call of the Lost Paradise and prepare for war...

These terms are very detailed, basically ensuring that Lost Paradise will not be turned back by Xu Nan and cannot recover the cost after putting in a large amount of material support. At the same time, Xu Nan noticed that many parts of the terms had been changed. It should be that the person who drafted the terms referred to Luo Mang's meaning and gave Xu Nan more benefits and privileges.

The most important point is that the Unknown City is not a vassal of the Lost Paradise, but more of a cooperative relationship. Xu Nan and the officials of Paradise Lost, at least on the surface, have an equal dialogue position.

"It's not a big problem, I'll sign it."

Xu Nan signed it readily.

"When will the money arrive?" he asked.

"Within ten days." Ofi blinked: "The first batch of aid materials and funds will arrive in the account."

"It's that simple?"

Xu Nan even found it a bit unbelievable. Warlock Ron has always been known for his bureaucracy. He did not expect the process of establishing the first city on the main plane to be so easy and pleasant.

Sure enough, there are still people in the court who are good at handling things. If Xu Nan hadn't inherited many of Luo Mang's bloodline abilities by accident, I'm afraid that the city construction agreement before him would have to be cut off to settle the deal.

"There is another agreement."

Offee unhurriedly took out a blank document with the most solemn expression: "This is a secret agreement."

"Emerald mine?"

Xu Nan was not surprised.

The emerald mine and the unknown city are not integrated; he guessed that the reason why Paradise Lost was willing to give him such a big benefit did not even have any intention of getting involved in the sovereignty of the unknown city. Gem mine.

Sure enough, under Offie's decryption magic, the document revealed lines of stricter treaty text.

After Xu Nan read it through, this agreement declared the ownership of the emerald mine and the surrounding mines. Generally speaking, Xu Nan, Stephen Sang and the officials of Lost Paradise shared equally the benefits from the development of the mines.

Among them, the Lost Paradise official and Stephen Sang commissioned Xu Nan to carry out the operation and development.

The secret agreement clearly stated that one-third of the profits related to the mine should be submitted to Stephen Sand and Paradise Lost each year. The remaining one-third belongs to Xu Nan himself.

This secret agreement has already been confirmed by Stephen Sang's An Suli's handwriting and the official endorsement of Paradise Lost.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so you're waiting for me here."

Xu Nan smiled.

"You can think about it, or put forward some conditions, I will watch..." Offie froze there before he finished speaking.

Because Xu Nan signed his name on it with lightning speed!

He didn't seem to think about it seriously at all, and he didn't feel that this secret agreement would harm his own interests.

"Xu Nan..."

On the contrary, Offie couldn't help it: "You can take this opportunity to raise some conditions."

Xu Nan said righteously: "I am a member of the organization, and it is only natural to contribute to the organization!"

Offie was taken aback.

He looked at Xu Nan suspiciously, and after a long while, he praised: "I was wrong, I didn't expect Paradise Lost to have a child with such a high awareness like you."

"As expected of Mr. Romang's favorite man, don't worry, I won't let you suffer. In other respects, I will give you as much compensation as possible!"

Xu Nan smiled and thanked.

After chatting with Offie for a while, Xu Nan took the opportunity to ask Offie about the Well of Illusion.

He was asking tentatively, but he didn't expect that Ofi actually knew something about the Well of Illusion.

It’s just that his rhetoric is a bit evasive——

"The well is actually different from what you think."

"The Lord of Darkness? That guy actually uses such a middle school name."

"You didn't find the relevant name? It's normal. It's a little guy who has just risen recently. My personal suggestion is, don't worry too much, just let nature take its course."

Speaking of this, he blinked at Xu Nan, which made Xu Nan feel chills and goose bumps all over his body.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the reception room was gradually changing, Xu Nan coughed and prepared to see off the guests.

The chairman of the council successfully completed the task and was very happy. He declared with certainty that he would give Xu Nan better treatment and rewards before leaving.

"It's not your style at all."

Liuhuo did not know where it came from. Recently, with the construction of the unknown city, the image of the silver-haired little Luoli has become more real. It is estimated that Liuhuo's recovery speed has become much faster.

"Um?"

Xu Nan put away the city building agreement and the secret agreement, not knowing why.

"Although it's a protection fee, but with your style, you should strive for your own interests to the greatest extent, right?"

Liu Huo was a little puzzled and said:

"Stephen Sand and Paradise Lost actually didn't pay much—materials, protection or others, all have the nature of investment...I mean, they don't deserve to take away so much income."

"At least, you do more."

It was rare for this little guy to stand on Xu Nan's side and stand up for him.

Xu Nan straightened her back: "Contributing to the organization is a matter of course..."

"I don't believe a single word of this set of arguments." Liu Huo looked at Xu Nan with contempt.

Xu Nan shrugged, revealing a sly smile:

"It's very clear in the agreement, everyone gets a third of the profit."

"It's just that the uncertainty of mining is very high, and the initial investment is huge. Who can guarantee profits every year? Especially in the past few years, the investment in fixed assets is large, and it may still be in a state of loss?"

"Even if it has entered into a healthy operation, labor costs have increased, warehousing and logistics costs have increased...whatever, it is normal to continue to lose money anyway, right?"

Having said that, he blinked at Liuhuo.

The silver-haired little Luoli was completely confused. What Xu Nan said clearly exceeded her cognition.

She was down for a while, and retorted: "But the emerald mine is extremely valuable, and it is difficult to lose money..."

However, Xu Nan was too lazy to talk to her, instead he said to himself:

"It's time to find a good accountant."

"Every year's profit is counted as a loss for me!"

"Of course, teacher Luo Mang, An Suli, and other important people's filial piety fees are still indispensable."

As for the rest, of course it all goes into my own pocket!

Stephen Sand and Paradise Lost entrusted themselves to manage it, so what can be done if the management is not good?

After all, it was City Lord Xu himself who suffered the most in the accounts!
