„Young Master Jones, at just the right moment. Has not thought that here meets you.” Adolf has been smiling. “琼斯少爷,真巧。没想到在这里遇见您。”阿道夫已经微笑着走了过来。 „Yes, at just the right moment.” The Jones corners of the mouth twitched slightly two: „You also come in the Adair badge?” “是呀,真巧。”琼斯嘴角微微抽搐了两下:“你也是用亚岱尔的徽章进来的吗？” „Adair medal?” The Adolf smile said: „No, I am here member.” “亚岱尔的勋章？”阿道夫微笑道:“不,我本身就是这里的会员。” Good, is really rich. The whole world as if were not here member. The father is not. 好吧,果然都非常有钱。整个世界仿佛只有自己不是这里的会员了。哦不,还有自己老爹也不是。 Helpless Jones deeply inspires. 琼斯无奈深深吸了口气。 „Although just joined soon member.” Adolf shrugged, then said: „Actually I come also no important matter, but is idling being all right, therefore comes to take a walk, makes to become friends while convenient.” “虽然是刚加入不久的会员。”阿道夫摊了摊手,接着说道:“其实我过来也没什么要紧的事情,只是闲着没事,所以过来走动一下,顺便交交朋友。” „Rushes to here to become friends?” Jones gawked. “跑到这里来交朋友？”琼斯愣了一下。 „Yes.” Adolf is sideways, looks to the direction of that tea table he just sits. “是的。”阿道夫侧过身,望向他刚刚坐着的那张茶几的方向。 A stature was obese, keeps the blood group of small beard to sit near the tea table carried one cup of tea, expressed best wishes toward the Adolf nod by far, nods toward Jones. 一个身材肥胖,留着小胡子的血族坐在茶几边上端起了一杯茶,远远地朝着阿道夫点头致意,又朝着琼斯点了点头。 Jones also symbolically nods toward him. 琼斯也象征性地朝着他点了点头。 Is that hand is like the pig's feet, fat that grows thickly from top to bottom ugly and ferocious-lookingly. The neck looks at fat that disappears. Sits on the sofa probably ball. Jones suspected, if the sofa does not have the arm rest, he can the direct center of gravity not be steady to roll. 是那种手都跟猪蹄一样,浑身上下横肉丛生的胖。脖子看不见了的胖。坐在沙发上就好像一个球似的。琼斯十分怀疑如果沙发没有扶手的话,他会不会直接重心不稳滚下去。 To be honest, but also has not really seen such fat blood group. Until now, Jones thinks, only then human will grow into this vice- ghost appearance, the blood groups are the stature are all slender. After all must drink the blood to drink this appearance, the sincerity is not easy. 老实说,还真没见过这么胖的血族。一直以来,琼斯都以为只有人类会长成这副鬼样子,血族们个个都是身材苗条。毕竟要喝血喝成这副模样,真心不容易。 Moreover his such stature turns into the bat, can fly? 而且他这样的身材变成蝙蝠,飞得起来吗？ „Who is he?” Jones asked in a soft voice. “他是谁？”琼斯轻声问。 „He is the Adair cousin, I come just to meet today. Therefore chatted.” “他是亚岱尔的堂哥,我今天过来刚好遇到的。所以就聊了起来。” „Chatted purely?” “就单纯聊天？” „Yes.” “是的。” „.” The Jones vision cuts , to continue calmly to sit, waiting. Is keeping thinking about own ore at heart. “哦。”琼斯的目光划开,继续静静地坐着,等着。心里惦记着自己的矿石。 Adolf somewhat was awkward: „Didn't you, ask me to sit down?” 阿道夫都有些尴尬了:“您,不请我坐下吗？” „Do you want to sit down?” “你想坐下？” „If not convenient......” “如果不方便的话……” „Not, convenient, please sit down.” Jones then put out a hand to make „please” hand signal. “哦不,方便,请坐。”琼斯这才伸手做了个“请”的手势。 The Adolf brow was pressed, but was insisting sat. 阿道夫眉头都蹙起来了,不过还是坚持着坐了下去。 The entire reception room is quiet. In a that fat blood group person is drinking tea, reads to begin the book, does not know is the book or the account and so on thing., The person of another tea table is chatting by far low voice, occasionally hears laughter. As if also chatting, is not discussing the business. 整个会客厅静悄悄的。那个胖血族正一个人喝着茶,翻看着手里的本子,也不知道是书还是账目之类的东西。远远的,另一张茶几的人小声地聊着天,偶尔传来一阵笑声。似乎也是在闲聊,并不是在谈生意。 Good, although discussed the place of business, but scene probably only then Jones discussed the business properly. 好吧,虽说是个谈生意的地方,但现场好像就只有琼斯是正经来谈生意的。 Jones does not utter a word, Adolf did not say anything, has to lean the face, the waiter toward distant place beckoned. 琼斯一声不吭,阿道夫也不好说什么,只得侧过脸,朝着远处的侍者招了招手。 The waiter walked quickly: „Mister, has anything to help your.” 那侍者很快走了过来:“先生,有什么能帮您的。” „Tea.” “茶水。” „Understood, were you just the same as that side?” “明白,您跟刚刚那边一样吗？” „Right, blood-color wild rose.” Saying, Adolf is leaning the face to look to Jones: „Young Master Jones?” “对,血色蔷薇。”说着,阿道夫侧过脸望向琼斯:“琼斯少爷呢？” „?” Immerses Jones in own world has a scare. “呀？”沉浸在自己世界里的琼斯吓了一跳。 „What tea am I is asking you to drink?” “我是问您想喝什么茶？” „What tea? I do not drink tea. Casual.” “什么茶？我不太喝茶。随便吧。” Leans the face, Adolf has confessed to say to the waiter: „Is like me.” 侧过脸,阿道夫对侍者交代道:“跟我一样吧。” „Good, please wait a bit.” Saying, the waiter is then getting out of the way. “好的,请您稍等一下。”说着,侍者便走开了。 Jones is pressed the brow to look at Adolf, does not seem to recovered consciousness from own train of thought. 琼斯蹙着眉头看着阿道夫,似乎还没从自己的思绪中缓过来。 „Can the matter that what worry Young Master Jones as if meets, say makes me know?” “琼斯少爷似乎遇到什么烦恼的事情了,可以说出来让我知道吗？” „No, no.” Jones shakes the head gently. “不,没什么。”琼斯轻轻摇了摇头。 Good, has no way to chat as before. Some Adolf headaches. 好吧,依旧没法聊天。阿道夫都有些头疼了。 Is waiting silently, for a long time, the person pushed the door to walk finally. Is a female blood group. 就这么默默地等着,许久,终于有一个人推门走了进来。是个女血族。 The black hair that ties high, the fine facial features, the blood red double pupil, a short skirt of reddish black interaction, steps on red high-heeled shoes, in the hand also holds a thick book, is grasping an ink bottle, but also is inserting a feather pen. 高高束起的黑发,精致的面容,血红色的双眸,一身红黑相间的短裙,踩着一双红色的高跟鞋,手里还捧着一本厚厚的本子,握着一个墨水瓶,还插着一根羽毛笔。 Swept toward the reception room, her vision fell on Jones finally. 朝着会客厅扫了一圈,她的目光最终落到了琼斯身上。 Sees Jones also to visit her, she walked toward Jones immediately. Arrives in front of Jones, salutes respectfully: „Hello, is Young Master Jones?” 见琼斯也在看着她,她当即朝着琼斯走了过来。来到琼斯面前,恭敬地行了个礼:“您好,请问是琼斯少爷吗？” This is a fresh delightful sound. 这是一个清新悦耳的声音。 „Yes, I am.” “是的,我是。” „I am Sambo family's business adviser Pattee, knows you very much happily.” Saying, she looked around Adolf one, asked in a soft voice: „Can I sit down?” “我是萨姆博家族的商业顾问帕蒂娅,很高兴认识您。”说着,她看了一旁的阿道夫一眼,轻声问道:“我可以坐下吗？” „Sure.” Saying, Adolf hit a sound to refer, looks at the waiter to distant place, referred to toward Pattee. Hints him to increase a tea set. “当然可以。”说着,阿道夫打了个响指,望向远处的侍者,朝着帕蒂娅指了指。示意他添加一份茶具。 The waiter nods by far. 那侍者远远地点了点头。 Pattee sat the Jones opposite, then put down the ink bottle, takes the feather pen, opened in the hand the thick book. That movement not only respectful, and capable. 帕蒂娅坐到了琼斯的对面,然后放下墨水瓶,拿着羽毛笔,翻开了手中厚厚的本子。那动作既恭敬,又干练。 „Young Master Jones, do I have something to help you?” “琼斯少爷,我有什么可以帮到您的吗？” „I want to sell the ore, the ore of gold ore. I have a gold ore, do you understand my meaning?” “我想要出售矿石,金矿的矿石。我有一条金矿,你懂我的意思吗？” „Un...... I understood, you have a gold ore, mined the ore. You need to find the sale for the ore, is this?” “嗯……我明白了,您有一条金矿,开采出了矿石。您需要为矿石寻找销路,是这样吗？” „Yes. But I had not sold before, therefore I need an adviser.” “是的。但我以前没卖过,所以我需要一个顾问。” „This matter is very simple, I think that I can provide some good suggestions to you.” Lowers the head, Pattee said that while recorded: „Which aspect do you want to understand?” “这件事很简单,我想我能给您提供一些不错的建议。”低下头,帕蒂娅一边说一边记录了起来:“您想了解哪方面的？” „Price.” Jones wants not to think that replied. “价格。”琼斯想也不想地答道。 „The words of price, the ore of gold ore is different from other ores, needs each batch to fix a price alone.” “价格的话,金矿的矿石跟其他矿石不同,需要每一批都单独定价。” „Generally speaking?” “一般来说呢？” „Un...... this does not have ‚general’ this view.” “嗯……这没有‘一般’这种说法。” „Haven't you bought and sold the gold/metal ore?” “你没有买卖过金矿石吗？” „No, I have bought and sold. But the gold/metal ore does not have the means with ‚general’ to summarize. After all, similarly is the gold/metal ore, the price possibly missed dozens times, several hundred times have the possibility. Do you have the sample?” “不,我买卖过。但金矿石没有办法用‘一般’概括。毕竟,同样是金矿石,价格可能差了几十倍,几百倍都有可能。您有样品吗？” „Has, I brought!” Jones put out the small bag that thinks of the ore, falls on the table. “有,我带了！”琼斯拿出了装着矿石的小袋子,倒在桌上。 „Waits a bit.” Pattee puts out a hand the ore to grasp together in the hand, closes the eye, then recites Jones had never listened to the incantation. “稍等一下。”帕蒂娅伸手将一块矿石握在手中,闭上眼睛,然后念了一段琼斯从未听过的咒语。 Quick, the ore flashed through a ray. 很快,矿石闪过了一道光芒。 Opens the eye again, Pattee said in a soft voice: „The ores of 1/1000 contents, very good ore.” 再次睁开眼睛,帕蒂娅轻声说道:“千分之一含量的矿石,十分好的矿石。” „Real?” Jones is very happy, immediately starts to consider as finished: „1/1000 contents, one ton has one kilogram gold i.e . Then is equal to...... 66 gold coins probably? Can one ton sell 66 gold coins?” “真的吗？”琼斯喜上眉梢,当即开始算了起来:“千分之一含量,就是说一吨有一公斤的黄金。那么大概等于……六十六个金币？一吨能卖六十六个金币？” „...... This is impossible.” Pattee said awkwardly: „One ton ore truly can refine 66 gold coins the gold, possibly also continues. But if you must sell the ore, probably one ton can only sell 50 gold coins. After all, the refinement also needs the cost . Moreover the cost is not low.” “唔……这不可能。”帕蒂娅尴尬地说道:“一吨矿石确实能提炼出六十六个金币的黄金,可能还不止。但如果您要卖矿石的话,大概一吨只能卖五十个金币。毕竟,提炼也需要成本,而且成本并不低。” One ton 50 gold coins, in other words do 100,000 gold coins, only need 2000 tons? Can 2000 tons, how many tons a dwarf day dig to come? This sounded Jones quickly to pay off the debt. Not can only pay off the debt, but can also become and Adair and Adolf equally is rich! 一吨五十个金币,那就是说十万金币,只需要两千吨咯？两千吨,一个矮人一天能挖几吨来着？这听上去琼斯很快就可以还清负债了。不只能还清债务,还能变得跟亚岱尔和阿道夫一样富有！ At this moment, Jones felt immediately own whole person fluttered. 此时此刻,琼斯顿时感觉自己整个人都飘起来了。 „, Right, transport expense. I need to arrange the transportation.” “哦,对了,还有运费。我需要安排运输。” „Gives me the address of your castle troublesome.” Pattee gives Jones the book. “麻烦把您城堡的地址给我一下。”帕蒂娅将本子递给琼斯。 With beginning a stroke, Jones wrote down the coordinates position of oneself castle in Pattee book, then handed over. 拿起笔,琼斯在帕蒂娅的本子上写下了自己城堡的坐标位置,然后又递了回去。 Received the book to look at one, Pattee was shocked immediately: „Young Master Jones, you determined that can sell the ore?” 接过本子看了一眼,帕蒂娅顿时愣住了:“琼斯少爷,您确定要卖矿石吗？” „Is unsellable?” “难道不能卖？” „No, sure. However...... transports/fortunes here the ore from your castle, each ton general idea needs 45 gold coins.” “不,当然可以。不过……从您的城堡将矿石运到这里,每吨大概需要四十五个金币。” „So many?” “这么多？” „Also possibly is 48 gold coins. In fact, your cost should at least take several gold coins, therefore this can be loses money to buy and sell.” “也可能是四十八个金币。事实上,您的成本一顿应该至少要几个金币,所以这会是一笔亏本买卖。” All of a sudden, Jones just like by basin cold water is drenched the foot from the beginning, is looking at Pattee dull, opened the mouth. 一下子,琼斯犹如被一盆冷水从头淋到脚,呆呆地望着帕蒂娅,张大了嘴。 Thank God, on this day was hall too also near with the distance of hell? 谢天谢地,这天堂跟地狱的距离也太近了点吧？ „I can help you make one set newly, more appropriate plan.” “我可以帮您做一套新的,更合适的方案。” „You said.” “你说。” „I suggested that you open the gold refinery. If can complete the refinement, then the transportation pressure becomes very low. After all, reduced 1000 times of weights, the transportation cost at least can reduce several hundred times.” “我建议您自己开设黄金提炼厂。如果能就地完成提炼,那么运输压力将会变得很低。毕竟,缩减了一千倍的重量,运输成本至少可以降低几百倍。” „How much money big...... wants probably? So long as can revolve were good, a smallest refinery.” Jones blinks the eye to ask. “大……大概要多少钱？只要能运转就行了,一个最小的提炼厂。”琼斯眨巴着眼睛问。 „Almost 200,000 gold coins, this was the minimum requirement. After all refines the gold, the request is quite high.” Pattee is smiling asking: „Needs me to relate the sell to refine the merchant of equipment for you?” “差不多二十万金币吧,这是最低要求了。毕竟是提炼黄金,要求还是比较高的。”帕蒂娅微笑着问道:“需要我替您联系出售提炼设备的商人吗？” „, Thanks.” Jones replied unemotionally. “不了,谢谢。”琼斯面无表情地答道。 The atmosphere one somewhat solidified, all around is quiet. 气氛一下有些凝固了,四周静悄悄的。 Pattee asked in a soft voice: „Also has something to help your?” 帕蒂娅轻声问道:“还有什么可以帮您的吗？” „Lends money, can you help me?” “借钱,你能帮我吗？” „Wú...... natural energy.” “唔……当然能。” „Really can?” “真能？” „Naturally. What you have is Young Master Adair badge, in the name of Young Master Adair, at least 5 million gold coins does not have the issue.” “当然。您持有的是亚岱尔少爷的徽章,以亚岱尔少爷的名义,至少五百万金币以内是没问题的。” „Lends money in the name of Adair?” “用亚岱尔的名义借钱？” „Yes.” “是的。” „Can't use my own name?” “不能用我自己的名义吗？” „Cannot, you not be the member of chamber of commerce.” “不能,您还不是商会的会员。” Jones thorough was silent, the brow is closely pressed. 琼斯彻底沉默了,眉头紧紧地蹙着。 The waiters sent the tea, cups of places put in front of three people, then salutes, walked. 侍者送来了茶,一杯杯地放到三个人面前,然后行了个礼,又走了。 Pattee carried the teacup to sip one, looks at Jones silently. 帕蒂娅端起茶杯抿了一口,默默地看着琼斯。 Jones is still continue be silent. 琼斯还在继续沉默着。 He is counted on that the gold ore repaid a debt, however, the present situation actually more owes. Later also has the hole? Do the holes of how much money need to fill in? 他是指望开了金矿还债,然而,现在的情况却是越欠越多。之后还有没有窟窿？还有多少钱的窟窿需要填？ This money borrows does not borrow to obtain is uncertain. 况且,这钱借不借得到还不一定呢。 Lends money in the name of Adair? This matter Jones cannot do. 用亚岱尔的名义借钱？这事情琼斯做不出来。 Borrows 200,000 gold coins with Adair again? Jones also cannot do. 跟亚岱尔再借二十万金币？琼斯同样做不出来。 He has started to worry that what to do could not return money. 他都已经开始担忧还不上钱怎么办了。 While Jones silent time, Adolf that the one side had not spoken put out a hand to take up suddenly the ore, grasped together in the hand is holding appreciatively. 正当琼斯沉默的时候,一旁一直没有说话的阿道夫忽然伸手拿起了其中一块矿石,握在手中把玩着。 „Young Master Jones, was inferior that I do disburse money to construct a refinery in your there?” “琼斯少爷,不如我出钱在您那里建一座提炼厂吧？” „Do you disburse money?” Jones looked toward Adolf hastily. “你出钱？”琼斯连忙朝着阿道夫望了过去。 „Right, I disburse money. Naturally, the money of making also turns over to me. We cooperate.” Adolf said in a soft voice: „I also want to seek for the new business, this is I the goal to here coming. Just, Young Master Jones you have a single business, sounds also good. Is short of money. Does not know that you are willing to give me one with the opportunity that you cooperate?” “对,我来出钱。当然,赚的钱也归我。我们只是合作而已。”阿道夫轻声说道:“我也想要寻找新的生意,这正是我到这里来的目的。刚好,琼斯少爷您就有一单生意,听上去还不错。只是,缺钱而已。不知道您愿不愿意给我一个跟您合作的机会呢？” „Do you determine?” “你确定吗？” „Naturally, but you must give me an advantage. For example, the ore is slightly cheap, 45 gold coin one tons how?” “当然,不过你得给我一点好处。例如,矿石稍微便宜一点,四十五个金币一吨怎么样？” „Sure!” A Jones delight, opened the eye. “当然可以！”琼斯一下喜出望外,睁大了眼睛。 „Perhaps is not good, Mister.” Another side Pattee is calculating rapidly, calculates, while said: „If can construct the refinery in the area, the transportation cost of ore truly can compress to slightly, the transportation cost of gold also almost can ignore. However, the refinement material also needs the transportation cost. Your actual refinement cost, one ton should need...... 26 gold coins.” “恐怕不行,先生。”另一边的帕蒂娅飞速地算着,一边算,一边说道:“如果能在当地建提炼厂的话,矿石的运输成本确实可以压缩到最小,黄金的运输成本也几乎可以忽略不计。但是,提炼材料也是需要运输成本的。您的实际提炼成本,一吨应该需要……二十六个金币。” „That 35 gold coin one tons, Ok? Keeps five gold coins profits to me.” “那就三十五个金币一吨,可以吗？给我留五个金币的利润。” „Ok!” Jones wants not to think that replied. “可以！”琼斯想都不想地答道。 Pattee looked at Adolf one meaningfully, put down the pen in hand no longer to speak. 帕蒂娅意味深长地看了阿道夫一眼,放下手中的笔不再说话了。 The profits of five gold coins, that almost means that the cost of investment cannot receive forever. In fact is the losing proposition. 五个金币的利润,那几乎意味着投资成本永远都收不回来。实际上是个亏本生意。 ...... …… This probably is Jones in the near future second happy the day. 这大概是琼斯近期第二开心的一天了。 Which day is first happy? Naturally was the loan buys that day of castle, although after several hours, he was not happy. 第一开心是哪天？当然是贷款买下城堡的那天,虽然几个小时后他就不怎么开心了。 Leaves the chamber of commerce time, Jones is almost fluttering. 离开商会的时候,琼斯几乎是飘着走的。 This calculates that settled down? 这算尘埃落定了吗？ Opens up a mine, sells the ore. If the refinery is own, then later may have many many things, was gains is owes is very difficult to say. But if the refinery is not own, then, the Jones duty as if also till sells ore. Once the Adolf investment opens the refinery, that means that Jones does not need for the later matter worry, to lie down happily number money! 开矿,卖矿石。如果提炼厂是自己的,那么之后可能还会有许多许多的事情,是赚是亏还很难说。但如果提炼厂不是自己的,那么,琼斯的任务似乎也就到卖矿石这一步为止了。一旦阿道夫投资开设提炼厂,那就意味着琼斯再不需要为之后的事情烦恼,可以开开心心地躺着数钱了！ Returns to the castle time, Jones grasped Dora, was excited is about to cry. 回到城堡的时候,琼斯一把抱住了朵拉,激动得都快哭了。 „I was too happy.” “我太开心了。” „Sir Jones...... are you all right?” “琼斯大人……您没事吧？” „All right. The Adolf preparation invested a refinery here, as the matter stands, all issues can be solved.” “没事。阿道夫准备在我们这里投资一个提炼厂了,这样一来,所有的问题都能解决。” „Adolf?” “阿道夫？” „Adair friend, a very rich fellow.” “亚岱尔的朋友,一个很有钱的家伙。” Dora blinks the eye to look at Jones. 朵拉眨巴着眼睛望着琼斯。 Jones then explained: „My happy not only also had the refinery, because also Adolf came. This means that we will not be baffled by money. All issues will be easily solved!” 顿了顿琼斯接着解释道:“我开心的还不只是有提炼厂了,还因为阿道夫来了。这意味着我们再也不会被钱难倒了。所有的问题都将迎刃而解！” Dora happily smiles: „That was too good.” 朵拉欣慰地笑了笑:“那实在太好了。” Jones said seriously: „I pledged, before the matter of gold ore is on the track, I do not bump any other business. Any business does not bump. So long as operated the good gold ore to be good with single-hearted devotion.” 琼斯郑重其事地说道:“我发誓,在金矿的事情上轨道之前,我绝不碰其他任何生意。任何生意都不碰。只要专心经营好金矿就好了。” Saying, Jones also closely grasps Dora excitedly. 说着,琼斯又激动地紧紧抱住了朵拉。 ...... …… At this moment, castle of Adair. 此时此刻,亚岱尔家的城堡。 The stewards step the half step to arrive in front of Adair, handed over a document. Said in a soft voice: „Young master, Young Master Adolf status has investigated. Personal history that he said that at least half is false.” 管家迈着小步来到亚岱尔面前,递上了一份文件。轻声说道:“少爷,阿道夫少爷的身份已经调查了。他所说的履历,至少有一半是假的。” Is writing letter/believes the pen in Adair hand. 正在写着信的亚岱尔手中的笔顿了一下。
