Li Ang Actually, I didn't expect that I would have such luck. The largest lord in the county was actually an old friend of my parents.
But after thinking about it, I think it makes sense - you can't just carry the disaster of this body and not be able to enjoy the benefits it brings, right?
It's just that Godric obviously doesn't want to get involved too deeply. At most, he just gives him some care, which can't help much.
After all, he himself was sent to the frontier. He had guarded the border in White Deer Fortress for more than twenty years, and had made great military achievements but had never been promoted to a noble rank. He was not popular after all.
Moreover, White Deer Fortress itself is probably not rich either. It is surrounded by mountains and forests, the cultivated land is small and commerce is not developed, and there are only a few thousand residents.
This small population is more than enough to support Li Ang's "necessary business plan". However, a castle as big as White Deer Fortress has nearly a thousand defenders in the city, which consumes a lot of money. The city defenses are also being expanded all the time. It is definitely not easy for Godric to maintain it in a small border town.
So this baron actually lived a very simple life, which can be seen from the furnishings in his house.
After completing the heraldry registration, Godric brought Li Ang to a simple barracks outside the castle.
"These people all escaped from Ailedge. But White Deer Fortress has no extra place to house them. You can take them back and rebuild their homes."
In the barracks, there was a large group of refugees, at least a hundred people.
It seems that most of the surviving refugees from Ailedge have already gone to the nearest White Deer Fortress.
This really solves Li Ang's urgent need. What he lacks is people.
"But, Baron Godric, I'm afraid I don't have enough food..."
Li Ang almost subconsciously began to cry about poverty.
"I don't have enough food, so you have to figure it out yourself!"
"No... I mean, my dinar is not enough! That, otherwise..."
Li Ang rubbed his fingers and made an internationally accepted gesture for counting gold coins.
"Oh? I've given you manpower to help you build your territory, and you still want me to pay to feed them? I don't have any money either!"
Godric was shocked. He looked at Li Ang's face carefully, probably to confirm whether he had recognized the wrong person.
"Lord Baron, don't get me wrong... I just want to say that you don't look rich either, so why don't we set up a company together?"
Li Ang looked at Godric and it seemed that it was not easy to cheat, so he started to have other ideas.
"Company? Do you mean a private gang like Barkley?"
It seems that this old-school aristocrat is quite well-informed and has even heard of Barkley's emerging business practices.
"No, no, no, they call it a grouping of profiteers... I mean, if you set up a joint-stock company and take the lead in subscribing for shares, it should be easy to make money..."
Li Ang stopped rubbing his fingers and started rubbing his chin instead.
"What... what kind of limited company do you own? Please explain!"
Who can have too much of a good thing like dinar? I heard that it is easy to make money, so Godric also became interested.
"The so-called joint-stock company is to divide assets into equal shares and raise funds through public issuance of shares. Shareholders bear limited liability to the company based on the shares they subscribe for. Profits, after deducting provident funds and public welfare funds, are distributed according to the shares held by shareholders. One share corresponds to one dividend... Can you understand?"
Godric is obviously dizzy. "I don't understand..."
Li Ang sighed, "Then I have to put it bluntly... it's just a scam!"
"First find one of your subordinates to set up a company as a legal person and make up some nonsense project - for example, a gold mine was discovered in the mountains near White Deer Fortress!"
"Find a reliable celebrity to lead the investment - such as you, Baron Godric."
"Then find a few scammers to swindle money - such as those big nobles. Tell them to invest a hundred dinars and I will pay you back a thousand dinars next year. Let them pay to subscribe for shares."
"In the end, he declared bankruptcy on the grounds that he was affected by the war. Once you get the money, everything will be fine. You can just call yourself a victim."
Godric suddenly realized. "You would have understood if you had said this earlier... but..."
"What?"
Li Ang thinks this routine should be feasible in this era. Lord Baron What are you struggling with?
"How did you know there was gold in the mountains?"
"Ah?"
Li Ang's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Is this really true?
There is indeed a gold mine in a nearby mountain. In fact, that place is closer to Li Ang's 'Wheat Fragrance Territory', and it has been discovered for decades. It is said that the purity is not low, but the only problem is - this gold mine cannot be mined at all.
Because this gold mine is located on the main peak of the Dengjier Mountains, two hundred miles away in the southwest, where the altitude is high, the temperature is low, and it is covered with ice and snow all year round. It is easy to burp for various reasons when panning for gold on such snowy mountains.
If that's all it is, then that's fine. There are still people who are not afraid of death after all.
But to get there, you have to be able to fly - the mountain collapsed a few decades ago, and now the place where the gold mine is is surrounded by cliffs...
In fact, the person who discovered the gold mine was the lucky man who survived the massive mountain collapse. He did bring back a large piece of nugget gold, which was of high purity.
"Hiss... if that's the case... that's even better! The best project is the one that no one can verify! Sir, let's get started? Someone under my command happens to have a caravan!"
Li Ang I feel more confident after hearing what Godric said.
It was already evening when we left White Deer Fortress. Godric reluctantly took Li Ang to the gate of the castle, and his daughter Amy also reluctantly pulled Sarah.
"Chairman Li Ang, this project must be started quickly..."
"Godric Executive Director, you have to try your best to deceive as much as possible... Well, try to attract more wealthy people to invest..."
The two of them had changed their names and were as close as comrades who had been comrades for many years. Sarah and Amy looked at each other in awe as they had known each other for many years.
"Sister Sarah, what do they mean?"
"Amy... I think you'd better not talk to your father these days..."
The two beauties whispered to each other like best friends.
On the way back to Wheat Fragrance Territory, there were already about a hundred refugees behind Li Ang, each carrying a bag of food.
Godric finally gave him a sponsorship - there was a project that was going to make a lot of money, and the partners had to survive...
Moreover, Lord Baron--Executive Director, a certain leather bag company now, used this grain to subscribe for shares...
"Sir, how did you cheat these things..."
Sarah feels that this ability to deceive people wherever they go is really outrageous.
She wants to learn too!
"Sarah, pay attention to your wording... I said, I am always solving problems for others! Oh, by the way, from now on, you are already the marketing director of Mondesny Co., Ltd. - remember to help Baron Godric... I am worried that his sales ability is not good."
Li Ang shook his head and said. After thinking about it, he added, "Tomorrow Baron Godric will go to Long River Town... well, to raise funds through a public offering of stocks. You and Lesley will go with you and inquire about Long River Town's situation."
Sarah's mind was a little buzzing. "Mondesney Co., Ltd... Marketing Director?"
