There is only one Rolls-Royce in the world, which was completely handmade by Matthews. The performance of this car crushes other cars in the entire era, because there are only two kinds of cars in the world.
One is called a Rolls-Royce, which is Tang Mo's exclusive car, and the other is called a T-car, which is a means of transportation that many middle class people can afford.
The recent talk in the entire Wright Kingdom has focused on the Model T car. If the nobles do not buy a Model T car, they seem to have been abandoned by the times.
The brand new Model T car is very exquisite, and if you are willing to customize it, you can also decorate it - in this way, the price of a Model T luxury car may soar to 100 gold coins, or even 150 gold coins.
Think about it, the benefit Baron Stella received from Cyric in that year was only 100 gold coins, so this amount of money was definitely not a small amount.
Don’t be fooled by the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins that Tang Mo’s Datang Group sells. This world is far from inflation. In other places, the purchasing power of a gold coin is still quite astonishing.
In the past six months, to a large extent, Tang Mo's Datang Group has been bartering, and the gold coins received are actually far less than what he heard.
It is possible that Datang Group made a profit of 100,000 gold coins in one transaction, but among them, not even 20,000 were delivered directly in gold coins, and most of the rest were settled in hard currency.
These hard currencies include but are not limited to grain, steel, copper ingots, gunpowder and saltpeter, chemicals, and even population.
What's more, they directly trade all kinds of weird things, many of which make people laugh or cry. For example, some merchants hope to use gems to settle accounts, some even use kerosene, and some use products such as ships.
Of course, in addition to these, there are horses, cattle, sheep, pork... and carriages, porcelain, tea... In short, there is a variety of things.
Among these bartered goods, the most popular thing for Bunas is the population! Tang Mo needs a large population to support his industrialization, and it is a useful population that can serve as a labor force.
Therefore, other merchants also knew Tang Mo's needs and sent as many free people as possible to Bunas.
They described Bunas as a golden city, where you can earn a lot of gold coins. Those gold diggers in foreign lands couldn't resist the temptation, so they were sent to Bunas in large numbers.
This is also the reason why Bunas was able to have a population of close to one million in a short period of time, and its growth was accompanied by the desolation of the surrounding areas.
The siphon effect turned Bunas into a giant blood-sucking insect, which absorbed all the surrounding population into its own body, turning the original village into a desolate ruin.
If it weren't for Tang Mo's arrangement, the surrounding chaos might have made the senior officials of the Wright Kingdom furious. It was Tang Mo who appeased the local people and raised the local grain purchase price, so that some locals gave up going to Buna.
The absurd idea of gold mining.
The market economy is not a panacea for all diseases. In many cases, it has its own limitations and lags.
Relying entirely on the market's self-response for regulation will easily lead to serious problems, and the emergence of these problems is often a belated and fixed result that does not allow the rulers to respond.
On the other hand, the planned economy is actually very advanced and very stable under certain specific circumstances. However, it also has many problems of its own, many of which cannot be improved.
Frankly speaking, if a management system operates well and ensures that there will be no problems, then a planned economy is obviously easier to implement and control than a market economy.
Unfortunately, no matter which direction you look at it, management cannot guarantee that it is completely error-free. This shows that the planned economy itself cannot operate perfectly.
But conversely, relying entirely on the market economy will cause pain from time to time during the development process, making the originally simple development become absurd.
For example, today's Bunas cannot actually rely on the market economy to regulate itself. It does not have such conditions at all.
First of all, the development of the entire Bunas is not balanced at all, and many aspects are actually "special". These special places determine that it does not have the ability to self-repair its economic structure.
Within a month, Bunas may have an influx of 30,000 migrant workers. These workers will not arrive in Bunas with a month's worth of food. They will consume it locally.
But no one can accurately predict the population growth of Bunas this month, so it is obviously impossible to expect merchants to transport food by themselves to solve the food crisis in Bunas.
By the time they noticed the increase in food prices, they would search for food everywhere and transport it to Bunas to make money. They were already in a state of collapse where water could not quench their thirst.
Therefore, Bunas can only rely on the management to calculate and make decisions in advance, in a way similar to the planned economy, to determine how much grain to import, how much meat, and even how much sugar to produce, how much salt to produce, and how much daily necessities to produce.
There are daily consumables.
Because if these things are not replenished in time, it will easily cause trouble. This is a result that Bunas, who is eager for development, does not want to see.
This is also the reason why Tang Mo has been so busy recently. He is so busy that except for preparing a portrait for himself, he basically has no time to rest.
There are so many things he is dealing with recently, and many plans, including the development of Dragon Island, must be drawn up by him personally.
Now, the things he has to discuss with the people he meets every day are very important, and none of them can be easily shied away from.
"Sir." Just when Tang Mo put away his posture and walked to his portrait to admire his handsome face, the door was pushed open from the outside again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The servant walked up to him, lowered his head slightly, and reported: "The envoy from Dorne is already waiting in the drawing room."
"Let's go and take a look." Tang Mo didn't take his eyes away from his painting, obviously he was very satisfied with it.
After all, this painter is also one of the most famous painters in Donne. He is capable, but he just lacks the opportunity to become famous.
Tang Mo gave him this opportunity, because from now on his paintings would be managed by someone, and it was almost certain that he would become the world's number one painter.
In art, it is really difficult to distinguish first and second. In the end, it is nothing more than a game backed by capital.
"Thank you!" Tang Mo smiled at the painter, thanked him, and turned around and walked out of the room when the painter looked at him in astonishment.
The painter was stunned on the spot, his heart was filled with that smile, and the young man's smile was like a spring breeze, surrounding his body.
Suddenly, he felt that the painting in front of him was not perfect. The painting he had devoted all his efforts to sketch did not seem to be his peak.
He stood there blankly, not moving for a long time.
Then, he stretched out his hand and dipped his nails into the paint on the palette. As if he had spent all his life, he lightly made a short stroke on the corner of the mouth of Tang Mo's portrait.
In an instant, the painting seemed to come alive. Tang Mo just stood there, scorning everything, overlooking everything, laughing at everything...
The artist didn't know it yet, but with one stroke of his genius, he created the greatest painting in the world: the smile of God.
Many years later, this painting is still recognized as the best portrait in the world, and no other painter, including himself, can ever surpass this portrait.
Tang Mo didn't know that his portrait had changed at this moment. He led Weiss through the corridor and walked to the reception room.
When the attendant helped him open the door, several men in black Bunas suits sitting in the room all stood up and nodded slightly to Tang Mo.
"Welcome to Bunas." Tang Mo greeted with a smile, then walked straight to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of "Dorn 171" from it, shook it and said, "Who wants some?"
Without waiting for the members of the envoy from Dorne to speak, he ordered: "Wes, pour everyone a drink."
He handed the bottle to Wes, then walked to the sofa that belonged to his owner and sat down: "I heard that you are determined to go south?"
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty hopes that you and the Kingdom of Wright can support us, Dorne, to obtain the southern seaport..." The envoy headed by Dorne did not sit down, but stood there and said to Tang Mo.
Tang Mo stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling the other party to be more relaxed. After everyone on the other side sat back on the sofa, he said: "This world has an end, and Dorne's expansion has made people feel uneasy.
"
"In fact, the southern kingdoms are die-hard loyalists to the Cyric Consortium, and they are also your enemies, sir. If we annex them, your influence will also expand to those places." Dorn's envoy immediately explained for his country.
.
"Let's be practical. We are all adults. It's too boring to fool children." Tang Mo took the wine glass from Weiss's hand and looked at him and said.
"Rewind Port." Dorn's envoy was silent for a few seconds, then raised his head again to meet Tang Mo's eyes, and stated Dorn's conditions: "It's yours."
"In addition, we will consider Datang Group's 'extraterritoriality' in Dorne. Your people will be protected by legal rights. After committing crimes, they can only be extradited back to Bunas or Dragon Island for trial. How about that?" Seeing that Tang Mo didn't say anything.
, the other party continued.
"I'll think about it." Tang Mo put down his wine glass and walked towards the door without even taking a sip of the wine.
