"Food, ironware, spices, salt..."

Zhang Feng looked at the data in his hand.

These are the details of the transaction between Shu Daqiang and Duke Raman, which have just been transmitted.

The quantity of things is not large, so there is basically no need for support from Hongye City. The supplies brought by Shu Daqiang and his men are enough.

However, this is just the initial attempt. If both parties are sure that there is no problem, a large number of transactions will occur and materials will need to be transported from Hongye City.

The prices of the items were negotiated by Shu Daqiang himself. To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect Shu Daqiang to negotiate such a high price. The cheapest item was more than ten times more expensive than in Hongye City.

This Shu Daqiang is indeed a talent, suitable to be a profiteer! Although Zhang Feng despised this kind of behavior, he pretended not to see it because Shu Daqiang worked for him.

In fact, these are all secondary. The most important thing is that Shu Daqiang has persuaded Duke Raman to make a loan according to Zhang Feng's instructions. In other words, a branch of Hongye Bank can now be built in the Kingdom of Danga.

In the past few days, Zhang Feng slowly changed his thinking.

Since he is no match for these orcs for the time being and may not catch up with them for some time, there is no need for Zhang Feng to confront them head-on, especially now that the Sunset Mountains can still block the way for a while. Zhang Feng needs to use this time to prepare.

There are many ways to wage war. In addition to fighting a war, Zhang Feng feels that an economic war without bloodshed may have unexpected effects.

Of course, it doesn't mean that he has to destroy those orcs, he just wants to be prepared.

So he immediately ordered a hundred orcs with construction experience to go to the Danga Kingdom.

Except for the new orcs, most of the orcs in Hongye City had participated in the construction of Hongye City. One hundred people were quickly gathered. This time Zhang Feng asked Xiong Ba to lead the team.

After ten days, Xiong Ba reached King Danga. He deliberately took a detour so that no one saw them coming out of the Sunset Mountains.

Shu Daqiang and Duke Raman were both at the city gate, waiting for Xiong Ba and others.

This was a strong request from Duke Raman. He felt that since the other party had come from afar, he should be more serious.

Of course, he also had some different ideas in his mind. He wanted to see what was different about these construction workers.

Speaking of this matter, Duke Raman was also a little unhappy.

Ten days ago, Shu Daqiang hosted a banquet to entertain Duke Raman. It was the first time that Duke Raman had tasted such delicious food, and he decided to sign a contract with Shu Daqiang on the spot.

However, there were some differences between the two sides on the issue of China Construction Bank.

Duke Raman wanted his own men to build it, while Shu Daqiang wanted to transfer people from the "headquarters".

His purpose was simple. He felt that Shu Daqiang and his people were obviously not short of money. Because of the war, Duke Raman was having trouble supporting so many orcs, so he wanted Shu Daqiang to share the burden.

But Shu Daqiang didn't think about these. He thought that quality was the most important issue in bank construction. He was worried about using others. What if they left a secret door? Shu Daqiang couldn't monitor 24 hours a day. He only had about ten people under his command. Even if he did, it might not be enough.

So, Shu Daqiang said he would call someone over.

Raman didn't want this to happen, but as the Duke of the Danga Kingdom, he naturally couldn't be so fussy about such trivial matters. He didn't have the face to speak up, so he could only take a step back.

However, Duke Raman was still a little unhappy. He decided to come and see for himself. Did Shu Daqiang’s construction workers have two more hands than their construction workers?

Shu Daqiang didn't know what Duke Raman was thinking. He thought that the other party attached great importance to the bank. After all, it was about whether he could get a loan, so it was reasonable for him to attach importance to it.

Soon, seeing the "black boxes" in the distance, Shu Daqiang said to Duke Raman: "Your Excellency the Duke, they are here."

Duke Raman had already seen it without Shu Daqiang's reminder.

He opened his mouth in surprise.

"What...what is that?"

"That's a car. It's our Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce's car. It's used for transportation. It's more convenient than a horse-drawn carriage. Horse-drawn carriages have basically been eliminated in our place."

Shu Daqiang looked very calm on the surface, but in fact, he felt very happy after seeing Raman's shock.

"car……"

Duke Raman repeated the word, but he really couldn't understand how the iron box could run. Could it be that there were several horses hidden inside? However, as a noble duke of the Danga Kingdom, especially with so many people here, he tried not to appear ignorant, so he could only keep the question in his heart and didn't ask it.

Shu Daqiang had some guesses about Duke Raman's thoughts, but he couldn't let the other party lose face, so he could only laugh silently in his heart.

Soon, under the surprised gaze of everyone, five black cars arrived at the city gate.

These are special cars for orcs. They are all very large. Five of them are parked side by side, looking very imposing.

Xiong Ba strode down from the largest of the vehicles. His nearly four-meter height put a lot of pressure on the soldiers on the city wall.

"Duke Raman, this is our construction captain, Xiong Ba."

“…”

Looking at the other party's sturdy body and iron-blooded aura, Raman was completely speechless.

Are you sure this is the construction captain and not the legion commander?

Everyone got out of the car to greet them. Xiong Ba greeted Shu Daqiang seriously and nodded to Duke Raman.

Although it seemed that Xiong Ba was a little perfunctory, Duke Raman did not care. In the orc kingdom, everything was based on strength. Considering Xiong Ba's size, it was estimated that few people in Danga Kingdom could beat him. In Raman's eyes, he naturally had the capital to be proud of himself.

The reason why Xiong Ba was so aloof was because of Zhang Feng's instructions. He was afraid that these people would let the cat out of the bag, so he asked them to speak as little as possible and leave everything to Shu Daqiang.

After all, this "huge" Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce is mostly fabricated, especially in terms of military force. If it is not strong enough, it is better to be cautious.

After a while of pleasantries, Shu Daqiang saw Raman looking at the car behind Xiong Ba from time to time, so he smiled and said:

"It's still a long way from here, how about His Excellency the Duke take our car back?"

"Yes...sure."

Raman pretended to think for a while, then got into the car excitedly.

With the soldiers from Danga leading the way, no one dared to stop the five cars, and they moved smoothly all the way, attracting countless people's attention.

Duke Raman in the car was touching and looking at the interior. He had never seen such beautiful and exquisite interior before, and he could no longer contain the amazement on his face.

“I didn’t expect there would be such a comfortable car in the world!”

Compared with a horse-drawn carriage, this car is simply a world of difference. Apart from its battery life, the most commendable thing about it is the riding experience.

In fact, most orcs don’t care much about comfort. Some caravans don’t even use horse-drawn carriages because horses can’t pull as much as they do. But not caring is one thing, but if they have it, who would refuse it?

And Raman obviously thought of more. In addition to transportation and trade, could these cars be used on the battlefield? "Ahem, Mr. Rat, do you sell this kind of car?"

Raman asked a little embarrassedly.

"Of course."

Shu Daqiang spoke with a smile.

"Why, Duke Laman is interested in buying it?"

As he spoke, Shu Daqiang skillfully pulled out a small table from the car, on which there was red wine and wine glasses.

"This car looks interesting. If the price is right, I might buy one..."

Raman replied, but after seeing Shu Daqiang's actions, he was attracted to him.

Is there any wine in the car?

What kind of wine is this? Red wine? The color is so pretty, isn't it?

They are all crystal cups. If they are accidentally dropped, how many gold coins will it cost...

Raman couldn't help but complain in his mind.

He used to think he was very rich, but today he realized that this is how rich people play! It's a pity that it's not safe outside now, otherwise he would definitely buy a car and go out to show off.

"Come, Your Excellency the Duke, have a try?"

Shu Daqiang poured a glass of sparkling red wine and handed it to Duke Raman.

"Thanks!"

Duke Raman quickly caught it, fearing that it would spill.

"As for the price of this kind of car, there are big and small ones, and the prices vary. For example, this car specially customized for orcs is priced at only 100,000 gold coins."

Shu Daqiang said with a smile.

“…”

When he heard the number of 100,000 gold coins, he almost spit out the wine he was tasting with his eyes closed.

"One hundred thousand gold coins?!"

Without even bothering to appreciate the wine, Duke Raman spoke in a somewhat unbelievable tone.

"Yes, this is the cheapest car in our Chamber of Commerce. If His Excellency the Duke doesn't like it, we also have cars of 200,000 gold coins, 300,000 gold coins, 500,000 gold coins, and 1 million gold coins. Oh, and if His Excellency the Duke doesn't like these, we also have a customized service for you, but the price is a little bit higher."

Shu Daqiang spoke in a somewhat tempting tone.

But after hearing these terrifying prices, Duke Raman didn't think it was tempting at all, but rather terrifying! A car worth one million gold coins? God! He could do anything with so many gold coins. It was enough to arm a powerful army, or even overthrow a small country! Using so many gold coins to buy a car? Is there anything wrong with his brain?

Not to mention one million, even if it was 100,000, he, Raman, would not buy it! Now the Danga Kingdom was in deep water and fire. As the most powerful duke of the Danga Kingdom and the younger brother of King Bennett, he could not only care about himself, he had to consider his people!

then……

"Congratulations to Duke Raman for becoming the distinguished owner of a Red Leaf car."

After getting off the car, Shu Daqiang shook hands with Duke Raman with a happy face.

He didn't expect that after selling the product in the car, he could actually convince Duke Raman.

Duke Raman gritted his teeth and signed a car purchase contract with Shu Daqiang.

There are only five cars now, two of which are not for sale yet. At most three can be sold. They may be bought by others later. If you don’t act now, you may not have the chance in the future.

As for the matter of "seeking welfare for the people", Grand Duke Raman had long forgotten about it. His was not the Kingdom of Danga, and this kind of thing should be considered by his brother.

After the two parties signed the contract in a friendly manner, Duke Raman could choose one of the other four cars except the largest one. However, since he had never learned driving skills, Shu Daqiang suggested that he first learn from his driver for two days.

Duke Raman naturally agreed. He was a little excited. This was the most money he had ever spent at one time in his life. Don't say it, this feeling is great.

Selling a car was just a small episode. For Shu Daqiang, it was nothing more than earning him 100,000 gold coins. Although Lord Zhang Feng had told him that he would get a large bonus after the car was sold, he wanted to see the bank built more.

As a person who is being trained by Zhang Feng, he knows how powerful the bank is.

After Xiong Ba and others arrived, they took a short rest and started working in the afternoon.

In the capital of King Danga, in one of the best locations on the commercial street, there is a group of buildings that have long been demolished.

This is the land that the Danga Kingdom gave to Shu Daqiang to build the Red Leaf Bank.

After taking some measurements and formulating a construction plan, Shu Daqiang asked Xiong Ba to start work while also starting to recruit people.

It is naturally impossible for Xiong Ba and his people to stay here forever. Lord Zhang Feng’s intention is to let Xiong Ba and his people come here first, to carry out construction while also training a part of the labor force. Zhang Feng does not just want to build a bank.

What are the skills of those untrained orcs?

Soon, this recruitment notice was sent out through Duke Raman.

Since communications here are underdeveloped, recruitment is only conducted in the royal capital. On this day, the entire royal capital was shaken!

The treatment stated in the job posting was really too good!

Not to mention that the salary alone is one-third higher than usual, the various benefits are beyond their imagination.

Such as meal allowance, housing allowance, travel subsidy and so on.

How could they never imagine that there is a subsidy for this?

Although these subsidies are not too much if converted into gold coins, at least not as much as a salary increase of more than one-third, but this person feels different. For the first time, they feel that they are valued.

Speaking of which, orc builders are somewhat different from humans.

Construction workers are a scarce profession among humans. Generally speaking, if you can become a construction worker, you may not become rich, but as long as there are no natural disasters or man-made disasters, you can basically have enough food for the rest of your life and you will be very respected.

But orcs are different. They are naturally strong and not very particular. As long as they are not too old, they can become construction workers. Therefore, this is a profession with no threshold and many people can do it.

When there are too many people, naturally no one will take it seriously.

It was true that this recruitment notice was so popular that almost all the orcs in the city came to sign up. This even scared King Nebet. When he heard from his subordinates that the city was in a "riot", he thought someone was going to rebel!

After learning the news from Raman, he was surprised, but also very curious. What was this Shu Daqiang, or this Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, planning to do, spending a lot of money to help them train talents? He didn't understand it, but he was not in a hurry. There was still a lot of time. He wanted to see what this so-called Red Leaf Bank looked like.

Soon, enough people were recruited, and Shu Daqiang asked some orcs from Hongye City to teach them how to do it, which is to provide training.

Xiong Ba and his team have already started construction.

Soon, with the joint efforts of new and old workers.

In just one month, a five-story "building" rose from the ground in Danga Royal City!

This twenty-meter-high building blinded everyone's eyes!

The red maple leaf on the building made people feel awe. Even the workers couldn't believe that they had built it with their own hands...

The construction of Hongye Bank Danga City Branch is completed!

Of course, there are still many places in the building that have not been renovated yet, so it is considered a rough building, but now that the bank can start business, those detailed tasks can be gradually improved.

Just like in Hongye City, the advertisement of "Earn interest by depositing money in Hongye Bank" was popular throughout the capital of Danga.

In an instant, countless orcs swarmed in with gold coins.

As for why everyone trusts Red Leaf Bank, it is because it is endorsed by King Bennett.

Why is King Bennett willing to help Red Leaf Bank?
