Aimee's proposal was immediately supported by the others: "Great! Instead of spending the money on eating, drinking, and fun, we might as well follow the boss and build a business empire. I'll contribute 200,000!"

As expected of the Witch, everyone here is very ambitious!

Chun was both relieved and pained: "I'll... contribute 200,000 too!"

This million-dollar debt was practically settled in an instant!

However, I spent 10,000 on food and drink, tipped the head of the class 10,000, 10,000 on the Shoe Angel, 30,000 on the Wine Angel ad, and 10,000 to sponsor Nan, so over 70,000 is gone, leaving only 10,000 now… I once thought having over 200,000 felt like a lot…

Aimee laughed: "Now let's tally up the total assets of the Commerce Association. The six of us each put in 200,000. The Plague Angel's pharmacy is worth 300,000 but owes 90,000, equivalent to 210,000. The Wine Angel's workshop is worth 500,000 but owes 260,000, equivalent to 240,000. As for the Shoe Angel—"

Aimee paused for a moment!

Chun said: "Let's notify him on the commerce channel. See what the Shoe Angel thinks. If he wants to buy in, he can; if not, he can just remain an employee..."

"Okay!"

Commerce Channel [Chun]: "Hey everyone, thank you for your support in the early days of the Commerce Association. We are moving to a stock system now, so everyone will be original shareholders moving forward..."

Commerce Channel [Wine Angel]: Fantastic, I'm in! I can just lie down and enjoy the dividends!

Commerce Channel [Plague Angel]: I'm in, but how do we prevent shareholders from not doing any work and just lying down for dividends?

Commerce Channel [Aimee]: Of course, we shareholders will vote to kick out those who don't contribute, refunding their investment.

Commerce Channel [Wine Angel]: Well, um...

Everyone in the association: "Support!"

Chun was sweating, I really just want to lie down and take dividends! But with my two major connections to Azazel and Earth Flame, I'm qualified to lie down, right?

Commerce Channel [Aimee]: What about the Shoe Angel? Are you in? If not, you'll just be a regular member and only earn a salary.

Silence in the channel for a while.

Chun was intrigued because the Shoe Angel was initially just a transitionary contact, prepared for him to leave tomorrow. Will he join?

Finally—

Commerce Channel [Shoe Angel]: I'm in! But I have no money, only a shoe store, which I'll transfer to the commerce as my investment!

—Dios Commerce Association Notification: The Shoe Angel has transferred the assets of the shoe store, adding 300,000 to the fixed assets of the commerce and taking on 120,000 in liabilities, increasing the commerce's reputation.

Haha! Mutual support!

Commerce Channel [Chun]: So it's us 9! Aimee knows more than I do, so you explain.

Commerce Channel [Aimee]: Currently, the commerce has 1.2 million in cash, and total assets of 2.09 million. The profit-sharing ratio for shareholders is as follows: The president holds 200,000, accounting for 9.56% of the total assets, so the dividend ratio is 9.56%; I'm also 9.56%... The Wine Angel's dividend ratio is 11.49%, the Plague Angel's is 10%, and the Shoe Angel's is 8.61%... Generally, half of the commerce's profits are used as operating funds, and the remaining half will be distributed to shareholders each month in accordance with this ratio…"

Commerce Channel [Plague Angel]: I think we should focus on expanding the commerce, don't rush to divide dividends, just take a salary.

Commerce Channel [Wine Angel]: Mm, makes sense! As people who have engaged in real industry, we know how essential operating funds are.

Not bad, not bad, no wonder you're my heart and soul, you really understand me! As a president, isn't it standard practice to have a salary of just 1 unit?

Commerce Channel [Aimee]: I think that's fine, what does everyone think?

You're not bad either, are you Maria's envoy? With three people agreeing, it becomes compelling!

Everyone in the commerce also expressed: "Support!"

Chun took a deep breath of relief; the team was finally established! If we achieve stable profitability, dealing with debt-to-equity swaps won't be a concern, not even giving a share of stocks is required!

Regarding debt repayment, anyway, there are 3 days left, no rush; this 1.2 million in cash has great strategic use.

Chun asked: "Folks, how should we proceed in these three days? Continue transporting ore from the Earth Flame Tribe, or go to other Master mine zones?"

Aimee said: "I believe, first spend 100,000 Mining Coins to rent a warehouse for a month, then transport and stockpile ore from the Earth Flame Tribe. After all, the ore at the Earth Flame Tribe has Earth Flame Giants for transportation, while elsewhere, only the president himself can mine ore, not enough time to fill so many cars!"

Stockpiling ore, that's spot on!

After all, they're high-end Crystal Stones, even if the price hasn't skyrocketed, they won't be lower than silver mines. In critical moments, unloading a warehouse can help in emergencies.

Chun formally decided: "Great! Let's officially head out then!"

Then also say on the commerce channel: "Angels, please focus on managing your respective industries."

Commerce Channel [Shoe Angel]: No, I'll close my shop for now. I want to join the team and contribute to the commerce.

Chun was surprised: "Uh, is that really necessary?"

"To shine the ladies' shoes!"

The women were stunned: "We're on a field mission, that seems unnecessary!"

Shoe Angel: "That's because you haven't witnessed the true power of shoes! My regular maintenance is just commercial care, it's a completely different concept."

Could there really be some sort of unique power? All right, given that they're serious during private jobs without any Fbl sentiments, an additional male Angel won't be awkward, and it's like having one more bodyguard.

Chun agreed: "Why not let everyone see the Shoe Angel's shoe power?"

The women agreed: "Then so be it, Shoe Angel, rendezvous at the mine."

…

Next is renting warehouses and hiring vehicles at the Mining Guild.

What's different is, privately, one can only hire 10 vehicles at a time, but with the commerce association, even a level 1 commerce can hire 20, and more as the level increases, though the income naturally belongs to the commerce association.

In short, the commerce has enough cash to hire all 20 vehicles, then head to the Goblin Repair Factory again, retrieving the previous 13 broken vehicles. Then, meeting with the already waiting Shoe Angel to head out.

33 vehicles! The scale is doubled from before, it's practically a train!

Chun couldn't help but feel excited thinking about it, though as an expert-level Mechanician, there's no rest.

Looking at the time, it was 10 at night, arriving at the mine would be a new day.

Next time, complete tasks to upgrade the commerce, no more hiring constantly broken Goblin vehicles, it's difficult to manage.

Shoe Angel quickly went to work: "Which lady can pause from guarding, sit in the vehicle, and let me take care of your shoes first!"

Medusa laughed: "I'll go first, after all, I can actually do without shoes."

With that, she tossed up two pairs of shoes, her lower body transforming into a serpentine form.

Chun truly learned something; her twisting was so enchanting, the human form couldn't compare. Then again, this was hardly a new sight; earlier, he had seen even more blurry implications!

Medusa laughed again: "Once the shoes are polished, don't return them to me; let the others take turns wearing them, so no time is wasted on guarding!"

Shoe Angel exclaimed: "What a brilliant scheme!"

Holy shit, it truly is!

Then looking at Shoe Angel, hugging the shoes, entering a state of blissful ecstasy, but different this time, there was a glow in his hands, the light surrounding the shoes forming a distinctly visible aura.

Holy shit! Looks like something big is happening, I truly underestimated him before…
