Dawn Spider

There have been so many things happening this year.

……

The merchant ship slowly entered the port.

A chilling white mist filled the air, freezing the sea surface. The giant ship came to a stop, its metal gangway extending out.

The Zerg warriors on Ivory Island began unloading the cargo.

Jin, holding the ledger, stepped forward to negotiate with the insects in charge of the seven tribes, exchanging the divinely bestowed primal force food they had just brought back from the southern continent for the same food they had obtained by selling granular fertilizer.

Finished processing,
Unloading complete.

Jin then organized the Flame Spider Warriors on the ship to help transport ten thousand bags of pulverized but unprocessed God-given Seed fragments onto the ship and send them back to the warehouse of the Shanglu Mall in Haimeng Peak Plaza for storage.

Finally, the small, yellowish-brown flame spiders that the Jin and Chicang organizations had created in Dafeng Mountain last spring boarded the ship.

The Lord of Chicang Mountain stayed behind to guard the shop with Shanlan and Rong.

Jin returned to the twin islands of Sal to handle affairs.

...

The 20,000 earth-yellow small flame spiders that Jin brought back were mainly descendants of Jin's bloodline, and also included the bloodlines of the top-tier spiders of the current Flame Spider tribe, such as the Ancient Hook Spider King, the Worry-Free Spider King, the Oak Spider King, the Western Serpent Lord, the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord, and the Yinxiang Mountain Lord.

The Flame Spider tribe is divided into relatively independent peaks, and each has a tradition of introducing superior bloodlines to optimize the bloodlines of their own peak's Flame Spider colony.

The ordinary little flame spiders that Jin brought back were very popular.

Last year's batch was taken to Zitan Peak by Lord Famu.

This year's batch was pre-ordered by Lord Ziwei Peak Cloud Mushroom.

Qingsha Port Wharf
A large group of spiders, led by the Cloud Mushroom Lord of Purple Peak, were already waiting.

The cargo ship entered the port and docked.
First, he directed the group of little flame spiders to disembark and arranged for them to follow Lord Cloud Mushroom to Ziwei Peak for survival.

...

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain and Silver received advance notice from Da Feng that 1 bags of remains of the God-given Seeds excavated from the ruins had been returned.

They invited a hundred Flame Spider Warriors from the Seamon Peak Trading Plaza to come and help.

After a brief discussion, it was decided that Jin and the Lord of Red Cone Mountain would organize the transportation work, and the goods would first be sent to the Plaza Commercial Mall for storage.

Please ask Lord Famu for help to move the Force Food Processing Equipment directly to Shanglu Mall for easier processing.

From then on, the fruits produced by the divinely bestowed seeds were also sent to Haimengfeng Shanglu Mall for processing.

...

According to the plan, this year will also be the first time that Shanglu Securities Exchange Center will publicly issue 5-year bonds.

They privately issue 10-year bonds with an annualized interest rate of 3%, but these are only available to Flame Spider Warriors or Zerg Warriors with whom they have a cooperative relationship.

They also handle loan business.

Quite cumbersome,

Hosted by Yin and Tianlan.

...

According to convention,

After the divinely bestowed food, traded from the Southern Continent, was transported to the Kingdom's warehouse, Shanglu Mall immediately sought to settle last year's accounts with the Five Schools Spider King. They then extracted an equivalent amount of divinely bestowed food from the Kingdom's warehouse, categorized it, repackaged it with labels, and placed it on the shelves.

There's also granular fertilizer...

There are only twenty or thirty wood-type divine-given seeds on the Twin Islands of Saluo, and most of them are of the same kind as the Flame Spider. Jin arranged a discount promotion, which was handled by Xiangling and Hongya.

...

one day later,

After 1 bags of the remains of the God-given Seed were moved, they were sent to the warehouse.

King and the Lord of Red Cone Mountain distributed divinely bestowed food worth 200 Primogems to each Flame Spider Warrior who helped carry the load, as payment.

Another day later,

The divinely-given food processing equipment was moved over, and Lord Huang Qi was invited over as well. Lord Jin Nan was also invited to join in excavating an underground chamber beneath the securities trading center. The chamber was reinforced with both metal and rock, and the equipment was placed in the basement.

For two consecutive days and two nights,

Finally, it's done.

The two busiest days of the annual trading season have passed.

Both the publicly issued 500 million yuan bond and the privately issued 500 million yuan bond were sold out.

Correspondingly, Shanglu Mall's inventory has increased by 1000 million Primal Stones worth of Divine Force Food.

……

In the wee hours,

Jin summoned all the insects to settle accounts and personally counted and tallied the inventory.

Two years ago, Shanglu Mall had 1600 million units of divinely bestowed resources in stock.

Last year, the Force Convergence Shield was sold, and 1200 million Divine Resources were added to the treasury.

This year, bonds were issued, and 1000 million yuan of divinely bestowed resources were deposited into the treasury.

They earned over 100 million yuan from selling granular fertilizer.

The game adds a large number of Flame Spider Warriors and Zerg Warriors with the option to hold vouchers, and increases the number of God-given resources by nearly 400 million.

Over the past two years, the cooperative processing business of the God-given Seed Fruit has generated 120 million in revenue. The salaries of employees and the resources used for the evolution of the Silk Sunflower Mountain Lord have mainly come from the harvest of excavating relics, leaving a surplus of nearly 100 million.

In total, the amount on the books should be over 4400 million.

Last year and this year, 700 million yuan in interest-bearing loans were issued.

The current inventory of divinely bestowed resources in the warehouse is 3700 million.

Settle the accounts.

The blond man said, "This year, there's a 1000 million yuan loan reservation on Ivory Island, and we need to prepare the goods in advance. There's also the excavation team; I plan to allocate 700 million yuan for their procurement. So, the actual available resources are 2000 million yuan."

"In the end, Haimengfeng Commercial Mall will retain 1500 million. 500 million will be transported to Qingshagang Commercial Mall to temporarily bolster its image." "Understood!"

Yin agreed and asked, "Fourth Brother, will you issue bonds again next year? How many will be issued? We'd like to give you an advance notice."

Jin said, "Let's issue 5 million short-term bonds with a fixed amount of 500 years. Then, the warriors with whom we have a cooperative relationship will issue 200 million 10-year bonds on the Twin Islands. I'll ask around on Ivory Island and try issuing 300 million first."

"remember."

Yin agreed.

The Lord of Red Cone Mountain unleashed his spiritual power, scanning the ledger densely filled with characters, and asked, "Gold, Silver, how much divinely bestowed resources did you two lend out? How much interest income did you generate?"

Jin vaguely replied, "Over sixty million. The current annualized interest rate is 3%, so on paper, the annual interest income would be around 180 million. But we've issued quite a few bonds, so the actual return might be less than 80..."

"Screech! You two little rascals are really ruthless!"

The master of Red Cone Mountain clicked his tongue in astonishment and pressed, "Calculate it carefully, how much exactly?"

As an ordinary employee, you should just do your job well and not worry about the company's profits.

But the master of Red Cone Mountain is, after all, an elder...

"Not much. The profits change every year, and it's too troublesome to calculate."

Jin gave a perfunctory answer, unwilling and unable to say more. After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "This year, all insects will receive an additional 1 yuan bonus on top of their normal salary."

"Great!"

"Mr. Jin is so generous!"

"Thank you, Fourth Brother~"

"..."

The insects cheered.

Jin is indeed very wealthy now. He continued, "Red Tooth, this year you will also receive a salary of 4 and a bonus of 1. Next year, you will officially start full-time and work with Xiangling to guard Shanglu Mall."

"When you have free time, operate the equipment to process the remains of the God-given Seed into granular fertilizer, bag them according to standards, and seal them in metal boxes used for storing raw crystals. Remember to get some wood from the nearby jungle, smolder it to make charcoal, and put one piece in each box. Granular fertilizer is susceptible to moisture, so use it for moisture protection."

"Ok!"

Red Tooth happily agreed.

Jin instructed, "The Shanglu Mall currently stores goods worth over 100 million. Lord Red Cone Mountain, Xiangling, and Red Fang, you must be very careful. At any time, there must be at least two warriors guarding the shops to prevent them from being stolen."

"Know!"

"Who would dare steal anything at the foot of Haimeng Peak?"

"Will not."

Red Cone Mountain Master, Xiangling, and Red Tooth Answer.

"Don't be careless. Especially keep a close eye on the food processing equipment. Don't lose it; it's our livelihood."

Jin repeated his instructions, then continued, "Ivory Island has obtained permission from the insect kings of the seven major tribes to open the Shanglu Mall and engage in related business activities."

"The first commercial mall in Qingsha Port Trading Plaza has been built. I plan to start selling and buying some divinely inspired food next year."

"The situation on Ivory Island is complicated. At the very least, a Mountain Lord-level warrior is needed to keep things in order. Currently, Chi Cang, Shan Lan, and Rong are in charge. Rong is only a high-level warrior and not very useful yet. We mainly rely on Chi Cang and Shan Lan. They won't be back for a while."

"Xiangling, Hongya, after you break through to the Mountain Lord level, take turns going over to replace them and bring them back."

Xiangling said, "I can break through this year!"

Red Fang said, "I'll be quick too..."

Yin raised his hand and said, "Fourth Brother, don't forget me! Once I'm done here, I'll immediately go back to Sikui Mountain to break through!"

"I know."

Jin said, "According to the plan, three more commercial malls will be built on Ivory Island. All things considered, we're a bit short-staffed..."

Yin asked hesitantly, "The Spider Warriors of Ziwei Peak?"

Yin said dejectedly, "Lord Famu and Lord Yunxun both told me that if we want to recruit more Flame Spider Warriors, we should give priority to Spiderliad."

Is it another case of relatives and friends forcing relatives to come in?

Jin asked, "If I remember correctly, it's only been seven years since Spider-Woman awakened as a Force Warrior, right?"

Yin said, "It's been eight years this year. It's currently a 2-year-old advanced Flame Spider Warrior, and it can evolve into a 3-year-old in October."

"Too small..."

Jin asked, "Anything else?"

"There are plenty of spiders who want to join us..."

As Silver spoke, he looked at Red Fang.

Hongya asked, "Boss Jin, what do you think of Green Tree, the direct descendant of the Lord of Changmian Mountain from Qimu Peak?"

Yin said, "Fourth Brother, Green Tree is two years younger than us. He is currently a 6-year-old advanced warrior and will be able to evolve into a 7-year-old this year."

The trees are alright.

The Lord of Changmian Mountain was the first Flame Spider elder to support Jin's cooperative processing business.

In the past, when Jin and the Lord of Red Cone Mountain were traveling around the Twin Islands of Saluo, they would visit the Lord of Long Cotton Mountain every time they stopped to rest at Qimu Peak, and they were also very familiar with Green Tree.

This is a fairly standard Flame Spider warrior; after a little training, it would definitely be able to handle the job of a shop salesperson without any problem.

The problem is that among the existing employees, Shanlan and Xiangling from Huangge Mountain, Hongya from Qimu Peak, and the Three-Headed Spider all come from the lineage of the Worry-Free Spider King.

Adding the green trees of Qimu Peak, that makes four.

The limited number of high-paying positions should be distributed among the younger generations of the Spider Kings throughout the kingdom...

After pondering for a long time, Jin made a decision: "Then let's go with Green Tree. Come with me this year for an internship on Ivory Island. As for Spider, we can agree to that for now, and talk about it again in two years, when it's at least a level 4 advanced warrior."

"Ok!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jin!"

Silver and Red Tooth agreed.
