nMax understood what Andrew meant.
n“You want to lend money to these warriors who can’t afford the sword intent grass so that they have enough money to buy the sword intent grass?”
nAndrew nodded. That was exactly what he meant.
n“This is indeed a good thing. If these warriors can buy the sword intent grass, their strength will be greatly improved. It is also a great joy for the entire human camp.
n“But…”
nAs a professional in the financial field, Max quickly thought of the inappropriate part.
n“Giving loans is not difficult. After all, Mr. Andrew has a large amount of money here. If Director Clayton is willing to help, we can get a large amount of information about the warriors. It is not difficult to assess their assets and credit.
n“The only problem is that the warrior is a very dangerous profession. In order to pay back the money, these warriors must enter the wilderness to kill monsters and earn money. This is a very dangerous thing.
n“If they die in the wilderness, then no one will continue to repay the loans. If It’s a high-intensity battle, I think at least one-tenth of these warriors will die in battle!”
nIt was not that Andrew had not thought about Max’s question.
nHe waved his hand nonchalantly.
n“It is a good thing to die fighting a demon beast. If they die in the process of killing four demon beasts, then it is considered to be a sacrifice for their country, a heroic sacrifice! I don’t need them to repay this loan!”
nHearing Andrew’s words, Max was filled with respect.
nAndrew’s words were really too good.
nHe had reached such a level of cultivation at such a young age, and he even had such high awareness.
nThere were very few people that Max admired in his life.
nAndrew was definitely one of them.
n“Then, since we want to give loans, we have to set an interest rate.
n“The bank’s interest rate is 4%, which means that for every loan of 10 billion, we have to repay an additional 400 million in interest a year.”
nAfter Andrew heard this, he nodded affirmatively.
n“Then our interest rate will be set at 10%. After all, I, King Thunderblade, can not accept everyone’s usury.”
nHearing Andrew’s words, Howard’s eyes almost popped out.
n10% interest? You actually said that this was not usury?
nThis interest rate was twice that of the bank.
nFor every 10 billion loan, you needed to repay an additional 1 billion a year.
nIf someone borrowed all the money needed to buy the sword intent grass, then it would be a loan of 50 billion. After a year, you would have to repay 55 billion.
nThis repayment pressure was really great.
n“For the assessment of a fighter’s credit and assets, I can use Mr. Howard’s forum database.
n“You can also harass the martial arts bureau at any time and ask them to help you check some data. It’s fine,” Andrew said indifferently.
nCould it be that that guy Clayton would refuse him?
nAfter explaining everything, Andrew took out two seventh-grade demon cores from his storage space and placed them on the table.
n“This is the reward for the two of you. If you do well this time, there will be a double reward.”
nHoward and Max’s eyes lit up.
nThis reward could be said to be quite generous.
nSeventh-grade demon cores were hard to buy on the market, and the price was abnormally high.
nMoreover, the quality of the top-grade demon cores Andrew took out was excellent. It was a good material for forging divine weapons.
nMax was now a sixth-grade warrior. After consuming the sword intent grass, he was confident of breaking through to the seventh grade.
nAs for Howard, he had just broken through to the seventh-grade grandmaster realm a few days ago.
nBoth of them needed divine weapons.
nThe demon core in front of them was a good material for forging divine weapons.
n“Thank you, King Thunderblade!”
nBoth of them bowed deeply to Andrew.
nBecause Andrew’s reward was already much higher than normal.
nThe reason why this matter could be done was because of Andrew’s large amount of funds and his reputation as King Thunderblade.
n..
nWashington.
nAn eighth-grade Golden Body realm martial artist sat on the sofa with a gloomy face.
nHis strength was not bad. He was ranked in the top 40 on the eighth-rank list, and the weapon he used happened to be a sword.
nHe really wanted to buy a blade of sword intent grass.
nBut the only thing that troubled him was money.
nHis entire wealth was only around 30 billion.
nIn the past few days, he had sold a lot of materials that he had previously treasured. Now, he had barely managed to raise 40 billion.
nHe was still short of 10 billion to buy sword intent grass.
nIn the past few days, Donald had asked all his friends to lend him some money.
nBut now, everyone was short of money. Even the best of friends would find it difficult to give 10 billion.
nThe banks also did not provide loan services.
nIn the country, the control of funds was very strict.
n“Am I going to miss this opportunity?”
nDonald sat on the sofa in great pain.
nHe knew that if he could obtain the sword intent grass, there was a very high chance that he could breakthrough to become a ninth-grade martial artist.
nIn the future, he might even be able to advance to become a supreme expert.
nThis was the goal he had pursued all his life.
nHe suddenly stood up and looked at his wife, who was sitting beside him.
n“Wife, I can enter the wilderness to hunt demon beasts! In ten days, if I go all out, I can get at least five billion worth of demon beast materials!
n“The remaining five billion, we’ll sell the house and borrow some money from my good friend. There should be some hope of gathering fifty billion.”
nHowever, when he said this, his eyes glanced at his wife’s slightly bulging belly.
nHis wife was already four months pregnant.
nDonald’s hands trembled slightly.
nHe wasn’t afraid of death.
nTo be able to reach the eighth-grade golden body realm, he had danced with death many times. He didn’t know how many times he had fought with his life on the line.
nIf he hadn’t gotten married, he would have already entered the wilderness and fought with the demon beasts.
nBut now, he had something that he couldn’t give up, and that was his family.
nHe couldn’t leave his wife and children behind and enter the wilderness alone.
nAfter all, ten days of crazy battles were too dangerous.
nHe didn’t have the confidence to survive.
n“Forget it. There’s always a chance.” Donald sighed.
nHe walked over and hugged his wife tightly.
n“To me, the most important thing is you and our unborn child. I can’t leave our family behind.”
nDonald’s eyes were wet.
nHe had already thought it through. Wasn’t it just a sword intent grass?
nWith his own hard work, he also had a chance to break through to the ninth stage. This was just a bit more difficult.
nHe wanted to break through and become stronger. Wasn’t it for the sake of protecting his family?
nBut now, he actually wanted to abandon his family in order to become stronger. Didn’t that mean he had given up on what he had always been holding onto?
nJust as he made up his mind, the phone suddenly rang.
nDonald picked up the phone. It was a sweet female voice.
n“Hello, sir. We have found that you are an eight-grade golden body realm warrior and you practice sword techniques. I wonder if you would like to buy sword intent grass?”
n“Yes, why?” Donald asked curiously.
nIt sounded like a fraudulent phone call.
n“It’s like this, sir. If you don’t have enough money, we can provide a loan service. You can borrow money from us and buy sword intent grass.”
nIt had to be said that Donald was a little tempted.
nIf the other party was a decent company and was willing to lend money to him, there was no reason not to use them.
nAs long as he had another ten billion, he would be able to gather all the funds to buy the sword intent grass. When his strength broke through, wouldn’t it be easy to earn back the money?
n
