Chapter 612 415: Zong Shen Savings Bank, Business Partners
Master Mars will be responsible for manpower and effort, handling the subsequent pasture breeding and maintenance.
This proposal is quite fair.
After all, Master Mars possesses expert professionals.
Many of his subordinates have extensive experience in cattle ranching.
It's truly his area of expertise.
Ranching involves quite a bit of knowledge.
Including breeding, disease control, and how to adjust the meat rate through forage.
If Zong Shen were to explore this on his own,
even with strategy guides to assist, the time and energy consumed would be invaluable.
It's best to entrust Master Mars with this in a cooperative manner.
Covering construction, breeding, and sales as a complete service.
Although it requires a Universal Dinar investment upfront, it's worry-free and effortless.
Moreover, Master Mars will receive a 50% profit share, ensuring he will manage the pasture wholeheartedly.
Master Mars contemplated for a moment.
Eventually, he nodded.
The terms aren't particularly generous, but the risk for him is smaller.
His funds aren't involved, so if something goes wrong with the pasture, it's just the time and energy lost.
"Alright, Lord Zong, I agree with you."
"Based on my prior estimates."
"The initial investment for this pasture is at least seventy thousand Universal Dinars."
"One thousand for construction costs, and sixty-nine thousand for purchasing breeding cattle."
"The twenty or so pregnant cows I brought this time usually cost 450 Dinars each at market."
"Much more expensive than ordinary prairie bulls raised for beef."
"Additionally, a minimum twelve-month breeding cost is needed."
"About 14%~20%..."
At this point, Master Mars began scribbling on the table with a finger.
"Hmm..."
"That's 9660~13800 Mainland Continent Universal Dinars."
He looked at Zong Shen and seriously reported.
Zong Shen nodded slightly and readily agreed.
"No problem, I'll give you eighty-five thousand Dinars."
"Follow the plan and proceed with confidence."
In this situation, the two quickly reached a consensus.
And Marie, acting as an intermediary, drafted two contracts with a quill.
Both parties signed the contracts.
Master Mars entrusted fifty thousand Dinars to Zong Shen for safekeeping in the form of savings.
Agreed upon a monthly interest rate of 0.5% with principal and interest guaranteed.
Under Master Mars' request, compound interest was declined, opting for an interest withdrawal mode.
This means Zong Shen must pay Master Mars a fixed 2500 Dinars in interest every month.
This sum is enough to maintain a wealthy lifestyle in the village.
When Zong Shen first went to Sitanos Village for supplies, he spent just over 2000 Dinars.
That could feed two to three hundred people for a week.
According to Zong Shen's usual maid metric, it could hire a moderately attractive village maid servant for 125 months.
Besides the savings contract above, Zong Shen also needs to make a one-time payment of eighty-five thousand Dinars to Master Mars for ranch construction investment.
Regarding the 99663 Dinars proposed by Mars, it was handed over to his daughter Marie for safekeeping, to be delivered to Sitanos Village within ten days by Marie.
The arrangements were finalized, with Zong Shen spending eighty-five thousand Dinars, leaving a balance of 1567277 Dinars.
Additionally, he gained an extra fifty thousand Dinars in savings funds.
Zong Shen doesn't need real investment behavior to back up his financial management.
With the support of [Master of Greed's Purse (Orange)], he receives 0.8% interest every month.
From the fifty thousand Dinars left by Master Mars, Zong Shen can still earn a 0.3% interest difference.
Just from this, he has a guaranteed income of 1500 Dinars.
Although it's not much compared to Zong Shen's current wealth, it's still an extra income.
No matter how small the mosquito legs are, it's still meat!
This is a good start, and when this model gains Master Mars' trust.
It's likely he will deposit more money with Zong Shen.
In the future, when Zong Shen's territory is fully developed and gains certain prestige.
He can formally establish [Zong Shen Bank].
Targeting the nobles and wealthy merchants among the indigenous people.
With large amounts of capital gathered, aside from merely earning interest,
Zong Shen can truly apply these funds to valuable investments.
For example, investing in industries within his territory like taverns.
Generating additional profit for the territory and linking the earnings to the bank's interest.
This way, it indirectly boosts the territory's development.
Of course, all this can only be realized when Zong Shen's territory reaches the Bang State Level.
Currently, Zong Shen is using Master Mars to test the waters.
His next target is Baron Bezos.
Conquering Baron Bezos is equivalent to conquering Boss Bang.
With some promotion, it can attract savings within Bang City.
With [Master of Greed's Purse] as a guarantee, the feasibility of this plan is high.
Once successful, it will certainly form a formidable financial bomb.
By then, even just for the money stored with Zong Shen, those indigenous nobles and merchants will do everything possible to ensure the safety of Zong Shen and his territory.
The potential earnings of this plan are terrifying, yet the difficulty is equally high.
Whether it's nobles or merchants, they keep a tight watch on their money bags.
This requires a gradual process.
But it is worth trying.
Especially as a lord, Zong Shen can also use affinity as a link between him and the indigenous people.
By winning over governors and top officials from various places,
the plan has a great chance of success.
After the contracts were signed,
both parties exchanged Dinars on the spot.
Eighty-five thousand Dinars were converted into eight hundred and fifty large coins.
Wrapped into a bulging bundle with a sturdy square cloth.
Master Mars carefully carried this bundle in front of him.
The two shook hands.
Zong Shen took out Communication Crystal No. 12 and handed it to Master Mars.
He briefly explained its specific usage.
Now that they are business partners at least,
convenient tools like the Communication Crystal become a practical asset.
After a series of cooperation agreements were reached, the snow outside had completely stopped.
The sky began to turn dark.
The three traveling merchants seemed to have been coaxed away by Master Mars somewhere,
and hadn't returned.
They were probably following along in the Agricultural and Livestock Area planning the new ranch.
Another matter was perfectly implemented.
This made Zong Shen very pleased.
The construction of the large pasture will undoubtedly inject new vitality into the development of the territory.
Everything is moving forward in the best direction.
Master Mars's emotions were quite complex.
On one hand, he worried about the fifty thousand Dinars, and on the other, he dreamed of the large pasture.
The two count as a powerful alliance.
One side has the techniques and connections, while the other side has money, land, and security assurance.
Perhaps there's a real chance to expand and strengthen the cattle ranching business here, making a new mark!
Just as Master Mars was whispering with Marie,
Zong Shen suddenly thought of something else.
"Master Mars, I have another request for you."
He said softly, prompting both Master Mars and Marie to look up.
"Lord Zong, what else do you require, please speak."
"As long as it's within my capability, I will do my best."
Master Mars readily replied.
Having already put out fifty thousand Dinars, a minor request is nothing.
"Help me recruit some talents."
"Including those skilled in blacksmithing, tailoring, planting, and breeding."
"Also, people such as chefs, bartenders, and bartenders."
"Additionally, if there are refugees that Sitanos Village can't accept, feel free to bring them to me."
"I won't let your efforts go unrewarded."
"As compensation, I will pay you some Dinars based on different standards."
