Chapter 71 First Bond
"Debtor: Night's Watch Legion, Purchaser and Creditor: Zhan Mu Lannister, purchase amount: 200 Golden Dragon, time: Aegon 298..."

As he wrote, Tyrion quickly filled most of the vacancy on the bond, and it was a coincidence that , Jyck, who went out early to do business, also finished the two things Igor explained at this time, and brought the stamps he and Tyrion ordered back to the Night's Watch office - this first bond, you can leave no regrets.

"These grids on the back are used when the bond needs to be transferred for lack of money. The date of the endorsement and transfer, the signature and fingerprint of the original holder and the receiver can be used to sell the bond to another. People."

"I've never known what it's like to be short of money," James said lightly—and apparently no one in the house would doubt it.

"I believe it, but let me finish the lines and rehearse." Tyrion finished everything and handed the bond to Igor, "Okay, this first bond will have me like this. The guarantor's signature and seal, when the credit of Night's Watch Legion is established, this step can be saved, give."

"Night's Watch Chief Logistics Officer" nodded, bowing his head in the manager's column Signed the name of oneself: Igor West.

＊＊＊

"West", this surname was chosen after some consideration at Tyrion's request, dwarf told him: Westeros place great importance on surnames , Igor wants to raise funds from the middle and upper classes in King's Landing under the name of Night's Watch logistics officer. If he can't even do the minimum "name and surname", it will give those nobles and rich people a great sense of insecurity, invisible Adding resistance to the fund-raising plan - not only does he have to have a surname, but it is best to choose one that is localized enough so that people will not feel disobedient when listening to it.

Tyrion didn't give much advice on the whole project, but each one was quite useful, and after thinking about it, Igor agreed with him. So, after obtaining a name of unknown meaning from the farmer who caught oneself, which is suspected to be homophonic with "egg", Igor finally took the lead in the surname oneself.

"Westeros", homophonic with English "West", implies that oneself comes from the west of Sunset Sea. Although the lingua franca of Westeros is quite different from English, this surname is at least better than Igor Zhang. , Igor · Li and other names are much more normal... He doesn't want to explain to every customer that oneself is from "China" and is a foreigner, so his surname is different. This argument works well when it comes to getting Tyrion and Arya's attention, but it's the other way around when it comes to borrowing money from these guys in King's Landing who have long since lost their curiosity and curiosity.

I hope this local surname can make up for some of the disadvantages of oneself being different from the locals in appearance.

＊＊＊

Fill out what should be filled in, and sign what should be signed. Igor took out oneself and Tyrion's custom seal from the bag Jyck brought back two days ago, pressed the ink pad that had been prepared on the desk, and stamped it firmly on the front of the bond: Tyrion's personal seal is quite satisfactory, it is oneself's first name and last name , and Igor covered the words "Night's Watch Logistics Department", apart from this, and there is a zigzag line on the outer edge of the seal that he specially requested to imitate the crenels on the edge of the city wall, which is very eye-catching and amazingly recognizable.

The three put their fingerprints on the bottom of the bond. Igor wrote the password in the blank space of the bond and covered it with melted paint, and then pressed it with the newly arrived paint... and raised it to his mouth. Blow, so far, the world's first valid Night's Watch bond, even if it is completed.

……

On this small piece of paper, there are three levels of anti-counterfeiting: low, medium and high:
"Low-level anti-counterfeiting" is used by the bond itself High-grade parchment, Tyrion transcribed and filled in the content, as well as several people's signatures and stamps. As the game gets bigger and bigger, there are more and more bonds, and the difficulty of counterfeiting is obviously the lowest.

"Intermediate anti-counterfeiting" is Igor's original password anti-counterfeiting lacquer seal. The lacquer is extremely viscous. After cooling and forming, it will adhere to the parchment tightly. The Wall pattern printed on it is a low-strength anti-counterfeiting seal. . The so-called "password" covered by this layer of paint is actually Igor copying the borrower, date and amount in Chinese. This is a string of unique and unmatched characters that will never be repeated. "Code Book" is in Igor's mind. In the world, he is the only one who can distinguish between true and false. Even if a Westeros person who does not know Chinese forcibly lifts the varnish or melts it with high temperature and sees the following content, there is absolutely no way to infer the password on one bond from the password on another bond - although it is not as good as fingerprint security. High reliability, but adding an anti-counterfeiting sign that is more difficult to forge at a lower cost can also discourage many whimsical attempts to forge bonds.

As for "high level anti-counterfeiting", it is naturally the fingerprint itself. In this era of Westeros, forging fingerprints is almost impossible. If Igor is not in the office someday in the future, the employees he hires only need to confirm whether the fingerprints are real, even if the password under the paint is incomprehensible.

Of course, there is the last insurance, that is, the bond sale records kept in the office. After all, this world has the power of Magic and transcendent, in case any guy can fake fingerprints and other All the anti-counterfeiting signs can be made into fake bonds, and at most one or two loans can be taken away. It is absolutely impossible to take a large amount of money that Igor has never borrowed at all.

As James asked his follower to bring the money bag and throw it on the table, the 1st Step of Igor's deception in this world was considered to have stepped out.

After paying the "hush fee", James probably felt at ease, his tense face relaxed a lot, and his tone was less rushed. After chatting for a while, he made an excuse to leave, and left the office with a few attendants.

......

"You let me cheat on oneself, and that's where I'll be."

"Ai, your big brother is naturally willing to support you, But he's not my ideal target audience, you House Lannister are so rich, and growing up in this environment, James doesn't feel money at all. He also said it by oneself - he has no idea what lack of money is. I feel." Igor shook his head, "So, although he came to buy bonds because of your reasons, he would never recommend our bonds to people around him, and what I need is exactly the kind of family that is a little bit down but not rich yet. To someone who doesn't care about money, comes for our rate of return and interest, and can bring me more clients. I need 'greedy people', not 'donors', you can understand what I mean Right?"

"Understood, I happened to meet James when I was returning to the city, so I pulled him directly." Tyrion quickly understood the problem, frowned, "I think about it or not. It's been a week."

"It's okay, it's not that our capital has increased by 200 Golden Dragon... 42,000 Silver Stag... 294,000 Bronze Star. Or the most High-quality - the kind that don't need to be returned in a short period of time." Igor didn't want to criticize oneself's benefactor and partner too much, so he made a cold joke that only someone who can count can keep up, and then changed the subject, "Why? So, you went to the young man who made the paper today, what was the result?"

"Well... let me first admire it." A smile appeared on Tyrion's thoughtful face: "You can hardly imagine it. Like God, that youngster is paper made by mashing the raw materials and soaking them in water."

"very good." Igor sighed with relief, narrowed his eyes, and quickly made a major decision: " The 1% monthly interest rate mentioned earlier is too low. When you are attracting people to buy bonds, you can appropriately increase it according to the actual situation. The specific amount is up to you."

"Do you want to increase it? Seventeen percent!"

"If you just want to keep the capital chain stable, seventeen percent is too high." Madoff deceived twenty Americans with a 10% return In 2018, it didn't collapse in the end, Igor thought, "But the situation is different now, the birth of the new paper is a foregone conclusion, as long as the operation is done properly, the next thing we will do - the money we can make is far more than a hundred. Seventeen out of 17."

"What are you talking about!" Arya exclaimed dissatisfied after sitting for a long time. She could understand every word of what the adults said, but she couldn't understand it at all.

The next content can no longer be heard by this girl, Igor resorted to slap the head, rubbed the girl's head, smiled and said: "I'll be here today, with the guard who sent you here. Go back, see you tomorrow."

"But it's still early, I have nothing to do when I go back!"

"You have nothing to do, the master is busy, be obedient. Go back and read The clothes I brought from Winterfell, study how to dress oneself, wear a new and more beautiful clothes tomorrow, and I will tell you the story of survival in the wilderness."

"Well... well." Igor thought The point is to quickly close the relationship between oneself and Arya, why isn't Arya thinking about being a little better in front of the new sword technique teacher? The man's action reminded the girl of oneself's illegal child big brother Jon, she pouted and was sad for a while, but finally decided not to make trouble, "Then I'll go back, I'll tell more stories tomorrow, and there is still class time, Can't be shorter than today!"
