Chapter 592 The Investment from Noriosse (2/2)
Since Ames did not rush him, he was not in a hurry to send Aurora and Hila to Floating Dragon Island.
”I still owe Noriosse 4,000,000 Enas. It has been less than two years since I borrowed the money from them, and the interest rate is only at ten percent. The interest rate will go up again at the two-year mark.”
Han Xiao still remembered this debt. Now that his funds were ample, Han Xiao decided to repay the debt while the interest was not too high.
He then contacted the leader of Noriosse, and the other party's projection appeared before him.
”Black Star? Haha, it has been a long time since you last contacted me. Your fame has truly skyrocketed in recent times,” Rockfess said with an amiable smile and warm tone.
Compared to his attitude when Han Xiao wanted to borrow money, his current attitude was much better.
”I actually prefer to remain low profile.” Han Xiao coughed dryly before continuing. ”I am contacting you to repay the 4,000,000 Enas I owe together with the interest for a total of 4,400,000.”
The law governing debts was extremely strict, and Han Xiao would definitely have to pay up eventually.
Rockfess suddenly changed topics and asked, ”I wonder, are you willing to accept a sponsorship?”
Han Xiao had just transferred the money over, and his heart was bleeding inside. Upon hearing those words, Han Xiao's brows shot up, and a playful look could be seen in his eyes.
A year ago, when he asked Rockfess for a sponsorship, Rockfess had rejected him and only promised him a loan. This time, Rockfess had actually taken the initiative to offer a sponsorship?
It seemed like his recent accomplishment had made Rockfess think that he was a worthy investment. Thus, Rockfess changed his mind and offered the sponsorship.
While Rockfess was an individual only motivated by benefits, Han Xiao did not think that it was anything strange and did not intend to be sarcastic. Everyone in the world only worked for benefits. He would only be able to draw investments if he displayed sufficient potential or strength. This was the ironclad law.
”Of course, I am extremely interested in this proposal.” Han Xiao smiled.
Rockfess' eyes lit up.
He originally had not been too sure if Han Xiao would agree. He had worried that with Black Star already developed, he would not need any external funds. However, he would find it a waste if he lost an investment channel with huge potential.
Since Black Star was willing to accept his sponsorship, it meant that his initial investment was reaping returns.
Rockfess pondered for a while before saying, ”Sir Black Star, I have decided to sponsor the Black Star Army with another 5,200,000 Enas.”
Han Xiao stroked his chin and asked, ”What do you want in return?”
”Haha, this is only an initial investment, and I hope to form a long-term cooperation with the Black Star Army. Our Noriosse financial group will come up with funds to support the development of the Black Star Army, including but not limited to the welfare of mercenaries, transportation, expansion of operations, and the construction of bases. We can also borrow the name of the Black Star Army to start businesses in the Garton Star System or other Star Systems as well. When we require violence to solve our problems, we hope to receive the aid of the Black Star Army at the first possible moment…”
The conditions that Rockfess gave were common ones between financial groups and armed organizations.
Under normal circumstances, the Black Star Army was the Field Team of Floating Dragon, and it would be a better option to invest in Floating Dragon Island directly. However, Black Star himself had some influence and thus became another target for investment.
Han Xiao listened to the conditions patiently and concluded that the Noriosse financial group wanted to manage the backend logistics of the Black Star Army.
The reputation of the Noriosse financial group was extremely good, and they had plenty of different businesses all around.
This was the phase where Han Xiao needed to take care of the backend logistics of the Black Star Army, and it would save him a great deal of trouble with the aid of Noriosse. Most importantly, it would save him a lot of money. The amount of money needed to develop an armed organization was truly terrifying.
What a fat sheep… Han Xiao lamented in his heart
”Sounds good. Mister Rockfess, I am willing to sign an investment agreement.”
”Alright, I will get someone to prepare it and send it to you later.”
Rockfess was in a brilliant mood, and a bright smile could be seen on his face.
”If the scale of the Black Star Army grows in the future, our Noriosse financial group can even help you to operate a financial market and establish a Black Star brand to launch a credit voucher and public bond.”
”We can talk about this in the future…”
Han Xiao's mouth contorted slightly.
The so-called credit voucher was basically stocks. With the development of the economy, something like a credit voucher was not too surprising. Since a very long time ago, stocks and bonds had begun appearing in the universe, and many of the large financial groups had begun issuing credit vouchers. Because of the sheer size of the universe, different regions of the universe would have their own stock markets. Usually, each Star System would form a unit, and the Garton Star System had its own financial market.
Players could also purchase these credit vouchers. In his previous life, there had been some players who had made big money from the financial market and also others who had lost big time. With the environment of the galaxy, the ferocity of the financial market could easily be imagined.
Han Xiao was extremely skilled in making money through credit vouchers. In his previous life, he had plenty of experience with buying low and selling high. As for how to suppress the price of another party's credit vouchers… Hehe, he would never walk the orthodox path. Since he had already done plenty of bad deeds, another one would not hurt him.
Of course, the consequences of those actions were severe. Now that he had to take care of an organization, he naturally would not be taking the same path.
As for Rockfess' suggestion of listing a mercenary group on the stock market, it was extremely rare. After all, the operations of a mercenary group were extremely unstable with deaths and injuries being extremely common.
After signing the contract, a 'ding' sound could be heard on the communicator, and the figure on his bank account shot up by 5,200,000 Enas.
”The road ahead is very long. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.” Rockfess stretched his arm out with a bright smile.
Han Xiao also stretched his arm out to shake Rockfess' holographic hand.
”I hope we have a pleasant cooperation.”
