Chapter five hundred and eighty second barbarian king stunt
"Don't be ridiculous. If there is a business group with the financial resources to form an airship fleet, those lords will not dare to provoke them even if they are brain-crazed."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Palin was staring at him, and he quickly shut up.
"Where did your airship come from?"
Palin hasn't given up yet.
"You don't have to worry about this!"
Downton just looks like an idiot. Who would tell such a secret?
"Hmph, I'm not ashamed to say it. I admit that the idea of airship transportation is good, but there are only two ships, how much cargo can be transported?"
Palin continues to struggle.
"Who said I only have two airships?"
Downton asked in surprise.
"Uh!" Perrin almost choked to death and asked with a stern expression on his face, "Do you think we are idiots? Even if you are lucky enough to dig up the hobgoblin ruins, even if the airship is well preserved, it will be eroded by time. You
How many flying ones can you get? Furthermore, even if you can build one, according to history books, the cost of building an airship is at least 70 to 80 million gold coins. Do you have the money?"
Palin's calculation is correct. Some people can afford to buy luxury cars, but they cannot afford to maintain them. Not to mention precision machinery like airships. If they are not well maintained, they will be ruined if they fall.
"Isn't this your highness? I think the princess would be willing to own 40% of the ownership of an airship caravan."
Downton suddenly discovered that Sissi was a rich man and could afford the cost of building a fleet of steam airships.
"No more sightseeing, let's go to the Western Region immediately. I want to see those airships with my own eyes."
Sissi couldn't sit still. It was an airship, and it was of great strategic significance. No matter how much it cost, she had to get the blueprints, and even if it didn't work, she had to control the workers.
The princess received an aristocratic education. She also grew up in Lombardy, a city with developed commerce, so she was influenced by it. She still has some economic acumen.
"If we have an airship fleet that can cover the entire continent, we can definitely become the richest company. In the early stage, because the airships are limited, we only transport valuables and emergency goods. I believe there must be people who are willing to spend a lot of money to save time.
"
Sissi thought divergently, "We can also provide air travel business for those rich and nobles. How can a ticket be sold for one hundred thousand gold coins?"
Due to the limitations of backward transportation, some wealthy people have never traveled to distant places in their lives. With airships, it is different. They can only fly for a few days.
Downton applauded, "The rich may have flying mounts, but there are too few people who can ride them. With airships, the whole family can travel, and even servants can take them."
"Yes, we provide private charter service." Sissi was very happy and became more and more excited as she talked. "We can also sell airships. Each one costs RMB 500 million. There will definitely be people rushing to spend the money."
As a wealthy person, Sissi understands the mentality of those rich men very well. If nothing else, Lombardy alone can sell dozens of them.
"No. Not for sale!"
Downton refused, "Now is not the time to do this business."
Sissi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, it would be terrible if they dismantle the imitation."
Twilight originally had a better-than-nothing mentality, but after the steam airship appeared, she started to take it seriously.
Seeing the heated discussion between the three people, it was as if the gold coin had wings and flew into his pocket. Palin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He thought that Downton was just a noble from a third-rate country, but he didn't expect that he had such a background. It was simply worse than
He is still rich, no, even if what he told is a lie, as long as he climbs into Sissi's lap, he may accumulate more wealth than his own family in the future.
Sissi's identity and status are in themselves a kind of connection and a kind of strength, especially in a country where imperial power is supreme.
"Strive to surpass Raytheon and become the number one arms company in mainland China."
Downton extended his hand. The three most famous arms companies in mainland China, Raytheon, Lockheed, and Dassault, have an annual output value of hundreds of billions of gold coins.
"No, our company is unique, there is no need to surpass anyone!" Sissi held Downton's hand, full of expectation, and asked hesitantly, "What is the name of the company?"
"You are the major shareholder, you decide?"
If Downton didn't even have this look, his life would have been in vain.
"Downton, you are so kind."
Sissi felt that Downton was too considerate. She jumped up and down excitedly and hugged him excitedly. After kissing him on the cheek, she realized something was wrong and her face turned red.
Although kissing on the cheek is a courtesy among nobles, Sissi has never kissed anyone her own age.
"This is a kiss from a Bavarian rose. If men knew about it, they would probably beat me to death, right?"
Downton joked.
Seeing this scene, Palin clenched his right hand tightly, his nails were embedded in the flesh, and blood flowed freely. He made great efforts not to kill Downton immediately.
Twilight shook hands with Downton and realized that this might be the unexpected reward of this adventure, and perhaps the biggest one.
"Call it Sissi? No, the traces are too strong. Call it Bavaria? It doesn't reflect my aura." Sissi fell into a huge fantasy about the company.
Downton was so happy that the more involved Sissi was, the closer the relationship with him became.
"So cunning!"
The Cheap God lamented that what was originally a spur-of-the-moment discussion turned out to be the trigger for the founding of a company.
Ten years later, retired old Bu was drinking in a tavern and bragging to everyone he met that he had witnessed the birth of the Bavarian Rose Company, the first aviation giant in the Western Continent. On a street, the three founders casually set the framework.
If I had bought a share at that time, I would be a billionaire now. It's a pity that I was misled by that idiot Palin and missed this life-changing opportunity.
Killing the dwarf shopkeeper could be done by sending a ghoul without setting him on fire, but Perrin volunteered to show off.
Sissi was immersed in the discussion of the new company, but she just agreed casually, which directly made Palin feel depressed.
After finding a hotel, Downton and his party stayed.
"what's your plan?"
Downton came to the underground world because of Andrea's words that he could make a fortune by finding the tomb of the holy coffin. In fact, he didn't have any clues. Now he can only act according to the circumstances.
"Waiting for my people to send the information."
Twilight sat in the garden, admiring the vegetation in the Underdark. She rarely had time to rest.
After being refused the request to return to the Western Region three times in a row, Sissi finally gave up and began to write hard and think about the company's development plan.
"Come on, let's all have a taste."
Wearing an apron with a tomahawk pattern on it, Tanan appeared with a plate of dishes and urged everyone to try it.
"What kind of dish is this? It tastes so good!"
Sissi sniffed it twice, took the spoon handed by Tanan, took a taste, pursed her mouth immediately, and took a deep breath, "Wow, it's delicious!"
"How about Mapo Tofu? Is it good?"
Tanan laughed and waited for Downton to comment.
“Wonderful saying!”
Sissi gave a thumbs up and took another bite, "It looks like this is oriental cuisine?"
"Yes!"
After seeing Downton nodding with satisfaction, Tanan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the stone bench, "I finally learned it."
"Is this what Downton taught you?"
Seeing Tanan's attitude, Sissi was a little surprised. Downton was not a gourmet. He didn't know how to criticize, so naturally he was the chef who taught him.
"I've learned your cooking. I have to teach you something, otherwise you'll be at a huge disadvantage."
Tanan was not usually so easy to talk to, but Downton did not hide his secrets at all, which moved him very much. After all, this was also the capital to settle down and live.
"No, I don't plan to be a chef."
Downton took a sip of black tea and smiled, "You are too polite. How about being my chef? The salary is three times higher than your salary in a big hotel."
When you have money, you naturally want to enjoy life. Based on Tanan's ability to be in the Michelin food magazine, it is worth the price.
"No problem, but barbarians don't have the habit of taking advantage of their friends. I don't have money, so I can only teach you some things."
Looking at this stubborn character, Tanan is definitely a barbarian.
"It's not bad to learn good cooking skills, at least you can please girls." Palin, who was standing aside to wait for Sissi, secretly said that Downton used delicious food to please Twilight.
"Who said I'm going to teach Downton how to cook? It's obviously my specialty, okay?"
Tanan rolled his eyes and said, "In the past, those people held my lap and cried for their parents to learn, but I was not willing to teach them."
"Aren't you afraid that Feng Da will show his tongue and follow you to learn robbery?"
Palin looked down on the barbarians. When it came to robbery, this race was second best, and no one dared to take first place. Even the dragons who liked to collect treasures had to step aside.
"What's wrong with robbery? It's an art!"
Tanan's face turned red with anxiety and he wished he could fight with Palin.
"Hey, I can't get on the stage."
Perrin wanted to say more, but he heard Sissi's scolding, "Palin!"
"I became a robber for Downton's own good. He will have a bad reputation for the rest of his life."
Palin spared no effort in her sarcasm.
"What I want to teach Downton is my best martial arts, not robbery. If you want to learn this, you are not qualified." Tanan drank the tea in one gulp, and it was not too hot.
"Haha, I'm laughing so hard. Barbarians can also use martial arts? Don't they all rely on their brute force and body to show off their power?"
Palin knew that this was not the case, but in order to attack his opponents, he would naturally exaggerate the facts. In the eyes of humans, barbarians are just barbarians with heads full of muscles.
Tanan couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly punched the ground with his fist.
"What's wrong? You want to hit me?"
Perrin glanced sideways at Tanan. He had been feeling very depressed these past few days and wanted to find a reason to beat up these guys.
Tanan snorted coldly.
Perrin was about to continue to stimulate Tanan to take action, but suddenly a sky-blue magic fist bounced off the ground and went straight to his chin.
The fist was too fast, surpassing the lightning, and Perrin had no time to react. Fortunately, the soul shield popped out in time, but before he could feel relieved, the fist broke through the shield and hit him on the chin.
boom!
Palin fell on his back, but this guy was also quite capable. He straightened his back to regain his balance while in the air, and somersaulted to the ground.
"How about it?"
Looking at Palin, Tanan sneered.
"court death!"
With a choking sound, Perrin pulled out his long sword and wanted to kill Tanan. (To be continued...)
