Start As a Lord In a Viscount

Sophia shook her head slightly with a smile on her face. Her experience along the way told her that there is no bad business, it just depends on how much you are willing to pay.

"Two billion."

Claire was stunned for a moment, but after she finished, she still smiled softly, "I'm not increasing the price, it's useless if you give me 500 million."

Sophia's expression did not change at all, and continued to smile: "Then as you said, five hundred million."

Claire pursed her lips, not because she was moved, but because she was a little curious about how much money she could earn from this transaction, and she was willing to share the profit of 500 million to herself.

Seeing that Claire didn't speak, Sophia thought that she had paid for his psychological price, and continued to smile: "You don't have to rush to answer, you can think about it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Claire rejected her, "Don't think about it for so long, I can give you the answer now, and I won't help you."

Sophia was stunned, only her eyelashes were trembling slightly all over her body, Mei Mu was staring at Claire like this, her mouth was half-open, but she couldn't say anything. She really couldn't figure out why Claire rejected her.

Sophia put away the smile on her face, "Tell me why you rejected me."

"There is no shortage of money." Claire said truthfully: "I can now earn nearly 10 million yuan a month, excluding the normal operating expenses of Nafu City and the construction of future public facilities, as well as the research funds for the Academy of Sciences. There are still hundreds of millions of dollars left. Wan, I'm only at the level of an archmage now, no matter how much I squander on experiments, I can't spend that much money in a month."

"Even if you give me 500 million, the change for me is nothing more than a few more zeros in the account. Other than that, there is no change for me."

Since Claire took control of the wizarding world, her horizons have suddenly opened up, and the pattern has become a lot bigger. With Claire's current status in the wizarding world, she can collect all the world's currency in the wizarding world, and then bless it all with herself, making herself look rich and rich.

But the essence of money is nothing more than a general equivalent. It can be used to trade what you need. Once your needs are met, no matter how much money you have, it is just waste paper and rubble.

So no matter how much money Sophia gives Claire, Claire will not be as moved as she was before.

After listening to Claire's words, Sophia was stunned for a while. Claire saw more thoroughly than many people. Sophia wondered if she was also caught in the whirlpool of money.

But after thinking about it for a while, she put this idea behind her. She has a clear purpose from beginning to end, that is, to control the August family, making money is just her means, and she can make money from it. It is not a slave to money to get pleasure from it.

But Claire's remarks also allowed Sophia to find a bargaining chip for LaClaire to join the team.

Can't spend a lot of money? Then find a way for him to spend money.

Claire continued: "So, money doesn't really appeal to me."

"Then let's trade for something else." Sophia swapped her two long legs and leaned towards Claire. The distance between the two of them increased a lot, and she could even feel her breath.

"Your territory is larger than the average counties. If you come to help me, I can apply to His Majesty the King, saying that you have your help, so the support materials can be sent to the front line in such a timely manner. If If nothing else happens, the Viscounty of Griffin can become the Earl of Griffin, my Count." Speaking of which, Sophia's expression became particularly seductive, as if teasing Claire.

"Lee's temptation is over, now it's time to become famous, right?" Claire thought secretly.

This acquisition is very attractive to those nobles who care about the title, but for Claire, the attraction is equivalent to nothing. Even if he is named an earl, the territory he controls is still so large that it is not as attractive in terms of appeal. As for the 500 million gold coins just now, at least it is a real benefit, and this is just a false name.

"I don't think I have enough ability to become an earl now, so I would like to thank Madam for your kindness." Claire politely refused.

"No!" Sophia exhaled softly and put her finger on Claire's lips, "You will be interested."

"After you become an earl, I will introduce you to your majesty, and you will get a leisurely position with certain power in the capital."

"Then, as the second largest shareholder of Temi Bank, I will invite you to join Temi Bank. You can use your excess money to participate in shares. The annual dividend of Temi Bank is a large amount of money. No matter how much money is required, it is impossible to join Temi Bank without the recommendation of shareholders.”

Hearing this, Claire's expression was still flat, but she already had some guesses in her heart, so she suppressed her emotions and continued to listen.

"Not only that, you can also become a partner of our August family, and you can get a part of the channel of our August family's magic shop, and our August family is involved in not only magic shops, but also within the capital. Many of the auction houses in our family are also owned by our family, you know what that means." Sophia winked at Claire.

The corners of Claire's mouth were also slightly raised at this time. This was not the temptation of fame and fortune, but the temptation of power.

However, this is really useful for Claire. Many things can't be bought with money. For example, Merlin's master-level recovery potion was priced at around one or two million in the market, but even if you take it You may not be able to buy it for four or five million dollars. It is completely priceless.

What money can't solve many times, power can solve. There are countless high-level magic potions produced by the kingdom every year, but only a few are circulated on the auction house. What is the reason? It was from the very beginning that it was monopolized by those who held great power at the source.

Whether it is magic potion or other resources, it has been divided up by those who hold the power before it is released, and the remaining points are circulated to the outside world.

Now the conditions proposed by Sophia allow Claire to obtain a powerful but leisurely official position in the capital, which is equivalent to inviting Claire to become a part of the power center of the capital, although it does not mean how much power and benefits are directly given to him. , but have the opportunity to enter the top to participate in the monopoly. This is what Sophia just said, since there is nowhere to spend too much money, then give you a channel to spend money. This is a class leap, and many people have exhausted their entire lives to be unable to cross the class they are in.

In addition, some of the channels of the August family's magic shop, as well as the Royal Capital Auction House, all represent that Claire's channels for obtaining magic materials will be greatly increased in the future, and some magic materials that were not on the market can be easily obtained in the future. get. This is the benefit of power, which no amount of money can do.

Sophia knew that Claire knew what she meant, and continued with a slight smile: "I remember that there is a blacksmith street in Nafu City? You have enough blacksmiths here, and the quality of the weapons and armors produced are also of the same quality, but what? There are only a few who can enchant and inscribe, can they be comparable to those old weapons manufacturers in the kingdom? Except for those middle and low-level adventurers, high-level adventurers will still not buy equipment from you."

"If you have the channel of our August family, you can dig a lot of mages who are proficient in this area, and form a real equipment industry chain... Nafu City may become a new weapon manufacturer by then. Business, the profit in this area is not low.” Sophia had a faint smile on her face, their August family is not in this area of ​​business, but there are channels in this area, and Claire’s poaching will not affect them.

Hearing Sophia's words, a smile appeared on Claire's face, which really attracted him. It's not that he didn't want to dig for talents in this field before, but there is no way. Those mages are different from blacksmiths. They can be popular anywhere. They are arrogant and arrogant. There is no need to take the risk to go to such a remote Nafu. city.

Moreover, Claire does not have enough raw material channels to support so many mages. The blacksmiths only need iron, and now he has several metal mines. But the raw materials used by mages who can enchant inscriptions are more than these. As for buying them from magic shops? That's ridiculously expensive, and it's not profitable at all.

And if Claire has access to the August family, he can buy some of the magic materials needed in large quantities at cost. With his own means, he might be able to grab some market share from those old-fashioned weapon manufacturers. The cake here is very big. As long as he gets a little bit of it, his income from it can easily exceed 10 million.

This is the benefit of power, and these powers have long been divided up by old-fashioned forces like Sophia, and everyone else has to get their permission to enter. Now Sophia is trading with Claire for these powers.

Claire held her cheeks, leaned forward to Sophia, and asked, "Anything else?"
