The king on the Great Wall

This must be Tyrion's idea again. This guy is really a business genius who was delayed by his surname.Iger couldn't help smiling, relieved, and led Casey into the office.

……

This feels quite funny-in my own "shop", as the owner, I don't know anyone.Those wearing black vests should be employees—the two standing at the door seem to be guards, and a gentle-looking young man is sitting behind the reception desk, talking clearly and fluently with a man who looks like a "customer" Looking at something, he approached and listened carefully. It turned out that he had come to apply for the night watchman industry security guard, and the receptionist was introducing him to benefits and specific responsibilities.

This is really different. If the change of the notice and the "Lobby Manager" is a small accident, then the next one that is different from the original really surprised Iger: on the benches on both sides of the facade, There were actually three people waiting in line.

You know, when I was in the office, I often couldn't welcome half of the visitors for a few days!

Is Iger too ugly to scare people away?Of course not, without his persistence and running around at that time, the office would never have existed until now, let alone a new look.

Sighing, Iger walked towards the door leading to the inner room.

"What are you doing! Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist who was sitting behind the table suddenly stopped introducing, stood up and stopped him. He had planned to call the two guards at the door, but the next second he saw Iger wearing a suit of materials. Dressed in elegant all-black clothes, he immediately hesitated, froze for a few seconds, and didn't say another word.

Iger was thinking about how to introduce himself to his employees, and the little follower, Casey, was keenly aware that it was time for him to appear on the stage, and jumped out to defend his idol without hesitation: "Presumptuous, this is the Chief Logistics Officer! He returned Your own office, do you still need to make an appointment?"

***

Iger finds it interesting that such a classic scene can happen to him when the employee doesn't know the boss.He glanced at the other party with interest, wondering if the other party really didn't know his identity, or did he do so deliberately to attract attention... After all, he was not as famous in King's Landing as he was in the counter-insurgency army camp, and he had left two Yue, it seems that others cannot be blamed.

By firmly grasping the opportunity and hitting the nobles, the unlucky traveler Night Watchman finally climbed to the current leader position. Although these people in front of him were recruited by Tyrion, they were really his first subordinates and his own after all. As a powerful team member, Iger didn't even have any bad idea of ​​caring about each other or slapping his face to pretend to be aggressive.Raising his hand to stop the aggressive Casey, he smiled kindly at the young man: "It's okay, you've worked hard, keep busy."

After all, regardless of the person's reaction, he pushed the door and walked in.

The door was also changed, from the original piece of wood to a rather heavy and thick one, probably because of the good sound insulation, so that the people inside the door didn't notice the little disturbance that happened outside the door a moment ago.Iger thought it would be Tyrion or another employee he personally recruited staying in the office, but after stepping in, he found that it was a young woman sitting behind the desk.

Who is this, could it be the little devil's new concubine?This is the inner room of the night watchman's office, where he and Tyrion cheated money back then... No, even if it is a partner in a place where business is done, it would be too hearty to let such a woman sit in his place Bar.

Iger was a little dissatisfied, but then found that the woman was lowering her head and holding a pen... While her subordinates kept writing something, she asked without looking up: "Contract signing, bond purchase, investment negotiation, or applying for a loan or joint venture?"

(It turned out that it wasn’t unrelated.) The night watchman was relieved. Hearing her say this line smoothly and fluently, it seemed that she had read it countless times, and she was quite skilled in business... Besides, Iger felt that the voice was familiar, but he couldn’t remember it for a while. Who is it? On the contrary, the woman sitting behind the table noticed something was wrong and raised her head.

"Master Iger!" She stood up at once, her strength and speed were much stronger than the receptionist who tried to stop Iger outside the door just now, causing the table to shake and almost knocked over the ink bottle on it, but fortunately she held it in time with her sharp eyes and hands: " You...how did you come back?"

It turned out to be Nina. She took off her work clothes in the paper mill and put on a black suit. She looked like an office girl. No wonder I didn’t recognize her just now... She was not in the paper mill to stare at production and technological improvement, so why did she come here to help herself? Janitor and office?Of course, when I asked this question as if I disliked her, Iger concealed the fact that he didn't recognize her at first sight, and walked over with a smile: "Come back, you're back, what do you mean by coming back?"

"No, I mean..." Nina was blushed by Iger's teasing, and when she saw him coming around the table, she quickly pushed the chair away to make room: "I mean, you want to come back, completely Can you tell me in advance, so we can go to meet you."

Say it in advance...how can you say it in advance?

Among Nina and the members of the night watchman industry, I may indeed be a big shot, but in the counter-insurgency army gathered by the king and the nobles, how can I count myself as a bird?Before I came back, could I ask Robert to send a letter to King's Landing through a raven, and then let Maester Pycelle send someone to the Night's Watch Office to pick him up?

"Sesame is a big official, and you are still putting on airs. You don't think it's troublesome, but I'm afraid there will be too many things." Iger smiled and shook his head. He didn't explain the truth, and he didn't do stupid things to show his prestige in front of his subordinates who worshiped him.After walking to the large desk, he found that the chair had also been changed. It had a wide backrest, a huge handle, a soft cushion, and a layer of velvet covering it—except that it had no wheels and could not turn left and right. An original version of the boss chair.

God tm boss chair, this damn thing...

It must be comfortable to sit on.

The position is his own, and he didn't say it politely. Iger sat down without any psychological burden, leaned back, and sank into the chair.

"Who bought this chair?"

"Master... Lord Tyrion ordered me to go shopping."

"Not bad, not bad, much more comfortable than the original hard one."

Nina's body temperature still remained on the chair cushion, and the nose seemed to be able to smell a ray of fragrance... It is said that food and clothing miss lust, and now Iger is far more than food and clothing.

Looking up at Nina, Iger quickly understood why he didn't recognize him at first—the girl not only changed her clothes, but also had her hair done and makeup—Iger didn't know much about this, the only thing I could tell was, It was she who wore lipstick.

Just put on lipstick, how can there be such an amazing effect?Yes, from a biological and genetic point of view, red is usually the result of congestion, which represents good health and nutrition; plump shape and luster also shows the water retention capacity of its own skin and mucous membranes, which is an effective proof of age and communication. The body signal of hx matching intention...

Stop—stop, I'm just a temporary representative of the Night Watchman's office, I've taken care of my image for the benefit of the collective, and I just put on lipstick by the way, why do you think so much?Iger stopped his inner drama and came back to his senses, only to realize that he had stared at Nina's lips for too long. The little girl had been stared at by him for a long time, and the color on her cheeks was almost redder than her lips.

"I... I'll pour... water for the adults." The girl's words were incoherent, and she seemed to run away without waiting for Iger to agree.

Iger looked at the girl's back, and couldn't help but continue to sigh—lipstick is really the best aphrodisiac for a woman, just a touch of color can make Nina's originally plain and dull face burst into brilliance...Black self-cultivation The dress made her fairer, and the red lips made her beautiful.The combination of black and red is like the finishing touch, turning Nina from a "girl next door" into a glamorous girl.

Those who achieve great things must take good care of their brothers, whether they are subordinates or subordinates.With a long sigh, Iger finally withdrew his mind completely and abstained from sexual intercourse for a year and a half. It seems that it is not good for people to suppress too much. When should I vent it?

After pouring a glass of water and returning, although the blush on her face did not fade, her expression became much more natural. Nina sat on another ordinary chair beside the table: "Your Excellency, you have worked hard, but the journey went smoothly?"

"The road conditions are good, the weather is fine, it can't be smoother." Iger took a sip of water, smiled and looked at the girl with as clear eyes as possible: "This time, it really is a rewarding experience!"

"Returning with a full load?" Nina looked left and right, and even Casey's hands were empty: "Where are your things, can I arrange someone to move them in?"

"Haha, no need, I've already come in." Iger smiled and waved his hand, "I'll explain it to you in detail later, now, tell me what happened in the office in the past two months."

Volume IV Resource Master

Chapter 123 Capital Making Rules

"What happened...this...how do I start with this." Nina became nervous again, and hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to start: "Let me think about it."

(Where was that shrewd and capable woman when I asked myself "contract signing, bond purchase, investment negotiation, or applying for a loan or joint venture?"? Like this, how can I communicate normally with customers who come to me.)

Iger was a little worried for her, but vaguely understood that his existence might have made the girl flustered, but... is it so scary to talk to myself?

Unable to embarrass her, the night watchman simply took the initiative to say: "Forget it, let me ask you an answer, when did you come here to take care of things?"

"You came here just a few days after you left. Lord Tyrion took me here for more than a month... He taught me everything before letting go. I have been in charge of things alone for less than half a month..."

"Well, what were you doing when I came in?"

"Accounting... the income and expenditure of various factories in the Night Watchman industry, the salaries of the members of the logistics and security department, etc."

"Each factory building?" Iger was taken aback: "How many factories do we have? Also, how many soldiers have the security department recruited now?"

"The second factory building is under construction. The investment comes from the businessman who bought grain and grass from him before you left, and finally he paid you the liquidated damages. As for the members of the security department, it is almost a hundred. According to what you said, we We only recruit locals under the age of 30 with good character and clean family background.” Nina wanted to touch her head in embarrassment, but she put her hand down again for fear of messing up her hairstyle: “Every factory has a special person who first calculates the account that he is responsible for, and finally It looks like a lot, but it’s not tiring. The most troublesome thing is the application for a business loan. Lord Tyrion stipulates that any application for a business loan must provide as detailed an explanation and cost budget as possible, and it must be specific to Silver Deer... …Let me judge the degree of risk and profitability, and I will give him the final decision if I evaluate it as qualified and feasible.”

"What, a loan?" Iger sat up from the backrest. He asked casually. Who wants to hear more and more shocking news.I heard the word loan just now when I entered the door, but I was tired from the journey, so I only realized it now.He opened his eyes wide: "You guys, no...we've all started lending? Are there enough funds?"

"No——" Nina was taken aback by Iger's sudden sitting up, and quickly waved her hand to explain: "It hasn't started yet, and the funds are only adequate for the time being, and there is no surplus for the time being. But Lord Tyrion's net profit According to the analysis, excess funds will start appearing in about next month. He said, "You can't let Jinlong lie in the warehouse and moldy, you need to find a way to consume it, and let them make money." So he set up a business loan...specially to help people like me It used to be like that with my brother, a person who has good ideas and new inventions, but no money to make it big."

Iger took a breath, this is not what I arranged. I just mentioned the idea of ​​lending to Tyrion with an example. Who would have thought that this little devil would be more aggressive than Robert.He sat up straight and began to look through the stacks of "loan applications" on the desk.

……

There are everything, some want to open a snack bar, a clothing store, and even open a bookstore following the trend... There is nothing interesting about this type of loan, but the interesting thing is the stack of new inventions and new things.There are very few literate people in this era, and there are even fewer people who can describe things in simple and capable words. Iger looked at it for a while, and found that the first application he read was describing solid soap.Detergents in this era are basically in the form of powder or paste. This improver made the detergent into a solid block, and proposed an idea: adding spices and medicines to it, allowing people to wear body fragrance and even remove body odor when taking a bath. Missing "dirty stuff", bar soaps and medicated soaps!The people of Westeros have no concept of germs, which is already a very advanced idea.

The second part is somewhat similar to the first one. The writer improved the formula of the lipstick, using the juice of vegetables and fruits and other plants, and matching the fat containing pigments in some insects, so that the toxicity of the original cosmetic dyes with minerals as the main component is greatly reduced. .Not only that, he also solidified it with gypsum, wax and grease, and then made it into strips... Iger's heart moved, and he took the first copy for comparison, and found that the two applications were indeed made by the same person.

Looking up at the young office girl in front of me, Iger made a bold guess: "Nina, where did you get the lipstick on?"

"It's...the sample sent by the applicant..." The girl looked at Iger innocently with wide eyes: "I just want to try the effect, the things are still in the drawer, and I didn't take them home!"

"What are you panicking about? I didn't say you can't use it." Iger smiled: "You look beautiful now, but don't abuse it. The inventor writes that it is non-toxic on the application, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is really harmless. Try not to eat it in your mouth. go inside."

"Yes... my lord."

"The two were approved directly, and I told Tyrion that this thing will definitely make money. As for the funds, it will be in place immediately without waiting for two months." Iger took the opportunity to discuss the lipstick, and appreciated it generously Nina's appearance after makeup, she lowered her head and continued to read the next copy.

There are all kinds of ideas, some of which put forward the most original lottery idea, and hope to make loose and comfortable underwear through special fabrics, so that the current civilians can get rid of the status quo of indiscriminate inner and outer clothes... After reading several copies in a row, Iger found that these ideas are almost all It is feasible. When did Westeros have so many talents?

The girl seemed to see Iger's thoughts, and explained in a low voice: "There are still many unreliable ones, I threw them in the trash can... If adults want to see them, I can take them."

"No need, since you threw it away, there must be a reason, I trust you." So it turned out that the loan applications I was looking at were already the essence of selection and filtering, "Those who pass the review, quickly allocate funds , is there a specific plan for this step?"

"Yes, Lord Tyrion divides the loans into three categories, which are distinguished according to the specific situation, and the rules are different. I can briefly introduce it for the Lord..."

After chatting with Iger like her own family, Nina gradually got rid of the embarrassment and panic of suddenly facing the "boss and idol" without mental preparation. The redness on her face gradually faded, and her mind finally returned to the previous state.Under her clear narrative, Iger quickly learned more about the recent changes in the night watchman industry.

The first factory has been fully operational, which Iger already knows. With the continuous maturity and improvement of technology, the cost of papermaking has been further reduced, and it is now less than half of the original... Paper is actually worthless, but it is a luxury in people’s minds The impression of the product has not changed, because competitors have not yet appeared, and the order price has not dropped, showing a state of hundreds of percent of huge profits in a short period of time.Last month, for the first time, the three production lines were shut down continuously for a whole month, bringing in a total of more than 400 Golden Dragons to the night watchman industry. Since the cost has just been recovered, it is hard to say how much profit it will be.

The Night Watchman bond has passed the initial difficult stage. After experiencing the test of the last large-scale redemption, its reliability has been recognized, and the return of real gold and silver has become more and more popular through people-to-people... With the initiative With the appearance of door-to-door buyers, Tyrion decisively announced a reduction in the rate of return in order to maintain a stable capital chain and highlight the higher returns of investment and cooperation.The Earl of Buckwell hadn't returned to King's Landing yet, and the first investment of the Thousand Golden Dragon had already been born.

As for loans—Tyrion divided them into three categories: short-term small loans below the hardware dragon level, as long as they are citizens of King's Landing who can provide their identity certificates and addresses, they will be issued at a low threshold, and outsiders cannot enjoy them temporarily; ordinary store opening loans , you need to provide asset mortgage or guarantee, and face "appropriate" interest.

The last category, venture capital for new inventions and new things, to be precise, cannot be regarded as a loan—the rule is: after the application is reviewed and approved, the Night Watchman Industry will directly buy out the invention, and the subsequent research and development All expenses such as advertising, publicity and market development will be fully borne by the industry, and what inventors and creators need to do is to provide all information such as formulas, principles and production methods to the project leaders sent by the industry without any concealment.In return - half of the income of the first related workshop and facade will belong to the inventor forever!

In other words, the ownership of this new invention will belong to the night watchman, and the inventor can only enjoy a part of the benefits!

Why does this clause seem familiar?Iger was dumbfounded. Before the time travel, wasn’t that what the studios and websites in the modern society were doing to support creation?The works created by the authors are owned by the studio and the website, and they can only get part of the sales revenue!

Inventors and creators are faced with two choices: Either keep their inventions and novel ideas at home forever or put them in their heads until they are brought into the coffin, or take them out and hand them over to the Night Watchman’s property... Egger and Tyrion eat meat, They follow with some soup!

It seems unfair, but this... is the rules set by the resource controllers - capitalists for short!

If you don't accept it, don't participate, and since you joined, don't scold you.Without a super high possible return, which rich person would make this kind of risky investment that may lose everything?

In addition, there are many more changes, and the dictation is not clear at all. Iger's current feeling is: I was playing a black game with my friends, and I was disconnected at the beginning. After finally reconnecting, I found that my side had pushed Arrived at the opposite highland - I left King's Landing for two months, and worked as an idle dog for nearly [-] days. As a result, the development speed of the night watchman industry was so fast that he could hardly imagine it!

Fortunately, his trip to the valley was not fruitless, otherwise, he would have no face as the "Number One in the Night Watchman Industry"... to meet Tyrion!

I wanted to rest for a day, but after hearing so much news, Iger couldn't stay still—he couldn't wait to see what the business empire he created had grown into.

Chapter 124 "Hooker" is online

"Get ready, let's go to the factory and have a look."

Nina was startled: "Go now?"

"Yeah." Iger has brought in a lot of business in the coalition barracks, and Margaery, who promised to come to the office to discuss cooperation and investment, and other nobles from the six countries may arrive at any time.If customers asked to visit the industrial park at that time, my boss took them to the site, but even I was startled by the booming factory, it would be too embarrassing.

Not fighting unprepared battles, Iger likes the feeling that everything is under control.

"Understood... right away." Nina immediately stood up, walked to the door leading to the backyard of the office, and pushed it open, "Miss Arya, Lord Iger is back!"

What, Arya is in the backyard? No one knows that she will come back. Is it possible that this girl still comes every day while I am away?

As the door that was also replaced was pushed open, there were crisp laughter and bang bang bang bang bang bang in the backyard, followed by a scream of excitement.The sound insulation effect of the thick laminated door is so good, and Iger didn't notice anyone in the backyard after talking with Nina for a long time.

Why is Arya still practicing sword here?Oh, yes - Leon said before he left King's Landing that he would take over and continue to trap this Miss Stark... But who is she practicing with?

A bad premonition came to his mind, and Iger finally understood why he didn't recognize anyone when he entered the door just now.

Before he could think too much, a petite and nimble figure came in from the back door: "Master, Master!"

While screaming happily, Arya rushed over without even throwing the training sword in her hand. Iger only had time to stand up, and the girl rushed into his arms, hugged his waist, and rubbed him a few times with her little head: "You're finally back. No one tells stories. It's so boring to practice sword all day long."

"Isn't this writing all the stories in the book? Read it for yourself. How come you have learned to act like a baby, girls, pay attention to your manners!" Iger rubbed Arya's hair helplessly. I haven't seen you for two months. This little girl It seems to have grown taller.When the two separated, the man discovered something that made him dumbfounded again: "Why are you wearing lipstick?"

"Didn't you say that girls should know how to dress up?" Arya stuck out her tongue and explained in a low voice, "Seeing how pretty sister Nina's paint is, I'm going to give it a try!"

It is true to say so, and it really looks good when it is painted - lively and pretty, with red lips and white teeth, it turned out to be a tomboy and "Arya the troublemaker", and now it has become the reincarnation of everyone's beloved Lyanna.Iger put away his messy thoughts and immediately thought of a problem: Arya's "bodyguard" always waited on the bench outside the door after sending her to the office, but he didn't see anyone when he entered the door just now. The fresh and delicious little aristocratic loli goes to and from school alone, what if she encounters a strange uncle while walking on the street?

"Where's your guard?" Iger put on a straight face. It's understandable that children are ignorant, but he is an adult after all, and he has to be responsible for the people around him.

"I went outside the city to teach the people you recruited sword skills!"

"Master Haihua will go to the outside of the city to teach swordsmanship to the people we recruit after sending the lady here every day." Nina interjected and explained. After there were other people in the room, she spoke a lot more fluently: "Before we go back in the evening Come here again and take Miss Arya back to the Red Keep."

"Teaching swordsmanship? That's not bad, but after all, he is Duke Ed's subordinate, so he orders people like this..."

Nina immediately explained Iger's confusion: "Lord Tyrion pays him... no, it should be called hard work."

It turns out that the hard work paid by a Lannister must not be less.As a guard of the Stark family, but he can earn extra money after work, presumably all the guards of the Stark family are envious of "Master Haihua" for this wonderful job.My own worries were unnecessary from the very beginning. With Tyrion's head, how could someone give him a job for nothing?

This Ed Stark, does he think his night watchman office is a free trusteeship?Fortunately, Arya has made great contributions to the Night Watchman industry, and she has prepaid 100 years of custody fees for herself.

I wanted Arya not to use cosmetics as toys in the future, but then I thought: The prime minister’s daughter uses the products of the night watchman, and it really looks good after applying it. Isn’t it an advertisement for lipstick?I should support and pay for her advertising, right? Looking back at the lipstick making process, if there is really nothing harmful to the body, then let her go: "Well, I'm going to the industrial park outside the city, do you want to go? "

"Go," cried Arya happily, full of energy, but never afraid to run about if no one was with her: "I want to ride a horse alone!"

……

In the backyard, Arya's private swordsmanship instructor also came in through the door, and greeted him: "Master Iger."

"Well." Iger nodded as a response. After returning to the office, he had heard a lot of good news, but only the existence of Jia Kun was not a surprise, but a shock.

Why hasn't he left yet?As the top spy and assassin of Braavos, if he stayed in King's Landing before, he would continue to carry out the task of infiltrating the royal library to spy on information, but now three or four months have passed, and he still hasn't finished?

Iger has reason to suspect that the reason why Jia Kun is still here is purely to monitor the development of the Night Watchman industry and to steal business secrets.If this guy, by virtue of being one of the first batch of employees in the office, becomes the "veteran" of the Night Watchman industry inexplicably by virtue of his seniority, and becomes a nail nailed into his business empire by the Iron Bank, he will be in trouble.

Also, now that Tyrion has begun to prepare for lending, does the Night Watchman industry compete with the Iron Bank now?Will I and Tyrion face the threat of the Faceless?

……

Nina didn't know what Iger was thinking, she turned her head and told the Faceless Man, "Akun, you ride out of the city first, find Lord Tyrion, and inform the others that Lord Iger is coming to inspect."

"Yeah." Jia Kun nodded, actually pushed the door open and walked out without saying a word.

Hey, this girl Nina can command Jia Kun!Is it because she speaks so well, or is it because Jia Kun is too dedicated and involved in playing the office staff?

***

After thinking about it for a while, Iger gave up his worries about Jia Kun's existence or his attitude towards the Iron Bank—he is the legal manager and top leader of the Night Watchman industry, and actually the main helmsman and leader. Kun's true identity is well known, so just be careful not to let him enter the core management; if the ruler of Braavos wants to obtain information on the Night Watchman industry, with his current power, he can drive away a Jaqen can't stop the other party at all; as for competition, there is no such thing as the Iron Bank can't lend money in Westeros.
