Someone said something nice, but he still asked the Dharma Saint who he wanted to introduce.
To this day, he doesn't need to give others a hand or pretend to be powerful to make things easier for him. Ruan Wenyue also has the same attitude. He can tolerate a magician with unique skills to be equal to him, but it does not mean that he will accept other collaborators.
You know, everyone is discussing this now. But in actual practice, it is inevitable to have to separate the boss and the second. If someone who is not strong enough wants to join this game, he will be eliminated in minutes.
Even if the Dharma Saint in front of him wants to join, he can only lower his status and become the leader of the research and development team, and is not qualified to be a collaborator. Because he does not have the core technology, his money and efforts are not greater than the investment of the Ruan family.
However, the candidates mentioned by Babak Abunahan made everyone lose their temper. One of the sixteen Grand Dukes of the Gwana Empire, the Grand Duke of Kawei who is closest to the holy city of Estali.
"Kavi Gong is one of the few men I like among the nobles of the empire. Although he is far away from the center and does not have much power, you must not underestimate him. Apart from anything else, in his duchy But there are many mines, but many of them have stopped mining now. If you can make effective use of those minerals and make some money, I believe he will be very interested."
The reason why Ruan Wenyue couldn't have an attack was because the Grand Duke Kawei was a regular customer of the Ruan family's Jialong Chamber of Commerce. He wanted to transport the iron ore produced by his family's mine to the Holy City, and he couldn't avoid the Grand Duke's territory.
You must know that the Chamber of Commerce in Midi is actually very similar to the escort bureau in ancient China. In order to safely transport escorts, it is necessary to control the bandits in various hills. The nobles who are lost in the land are legal bandits. If these people are not satisfied and a large amount of goods are walking on their territory, it is definitely lucky that they are not robbed. It is normal to be robbed. It is a loss of both people and money. In normal operation, a wave of counterattacks is a prelude to death.
So under such circumstances, if the Grand Duke really joins this game, Ruan Wen Yue will immediately become the third eldest son. He can only watch the magician and the Grand Duke argue over each other and fight for the boss and second place, but he himself does not have to fight for anything. .
However, Lin just smiled at the fact that the French Saint wanted to introduce such a duke to join the car manufacturing business. He has seen too many situations where young people go to those landlords and old money to invest with a good-sounding idea, only to be so humiliated that they want to dig a hole to bury themselves.
Although the Duke may not be such a person, and Master Fa Sheng is not a smooth-talking young man, there is no need to place high expectations when he has not even written his horoscope. It's not that he's afraid of being disappointed later, but regardless of whether the Grand Duke joins or not, or whether the Ruan family member in front of him really wants to join, building a car is just a casual move for him.
His goal was just the car parked outside. What I want to do now is to modify the car a little more to make it easier for me to travel. The thought of really making a big business out of selling cars has long since faded away.
In fact, after leaving the Tower of the Great Sage and wandering for such a long time, he had already seen some facts clearly. In this era, if you want to build your own magic tower, it is not just a matter of funds.
A three to five-story building is made entirely of magical materials. The amount required is not comparable to that of making a magic sword or a full set of magic armor. The difficulty with such a large amount of supplies is that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them all!
Those magician families or inheritances that have accumulated enough for generations to finally build a tower spend so much time. In fact, they are not accumulating the required wealth, but relying on the efforts of generations to collect the required materials. .
Otherwise, to be honest, from the time the forum designed by someone came out to now, all the money I have dealt with has been saved, and I dare not say that I can buy all the materials to build a three-story magic tower. At least building one or two floors is not a problem. But even if you really save so much money, the reality is that you have nowhere to spend it.
There is something wrong with people who are eager to buy specific goods in large quantities in the market and put them on the earth if they are not treated as fat sheep and ripped off. Mystery is not much better in this regard. Even if they don't get paid a fortune, no one will hoard the materials that can be used to build a magic tower, and they will inevitably have to be transported from afar. The freight cannot be absorbed by the chamber of commerce, so it will naturally be added to the selling price.
Even if you want to build a tower in Borderlands, you still need to transport the required materials to the construction location, and you also need people to help build it. If you are a magician with too little foundation, and someone stumbles in the process, let alone building a magic tower, whether you can return to the civilized world alive is still a question.
In other words, if there is no powerful support for building a tower, even if you gather the necessary funds in this life, you will still only be able to look at a pile of gold coins.
As for using that money to fight for the inheritance of ownerless towers whose tower owners have passed away? According to some unknown news, Guybrash Tripwood has been blacklisted by the Magicians Association. The inheritance of the tower cannot fall to him in any case. The incomprehensible nature of the Tower of the Great Sage made these people wary.
Anyway, there are no certain rules of the game regarding the selection of inheritance rights. It all depends on who will be assigned by the local division, that is, who will inherit. It is very difficult to find a magic tower like the Great Sage's Tower in the lost land. It has been empty for several years and has been hated by people and ghosts. If you want to pick up the leak again, the chance is slim.
Perhaps, the end of his life will be in the holy city of Estali. Someone thought so.
After wandering for several years, I finally determined one thing: I am a homebody. The life of "The world is so big, I want to see everywhere" is indeed not suitable for me.
But this is not the time for anyone to think wildly. After Nguyen Van Viet decided to join the automobile industry, he had already begun consultations with Lin on preliminary plans. He will actively do this as a precautionary measure.
Although the Grand Duke of Kawei had a good reputation, he himself was indeed a careless personality. But how could a ducal family not cultivate smart and capable assistants to become stewards, deacons and people who manage the family property? Those people were released to do business, and their skills were at the level of predators.
If Grand Duke Kawei is really interested in the automobile industry, before the Grand Duke officially joins, he will first discuss some conditions with the magician in front of him, decide on the distribution of benefits, and even start the plan. This can be regarded as forming a natural alliance to jointly fight against the powerful person who suddenly joined.
He wouldn't let the Grand Duke dominate everything and swallow up all the benefits as soon as he showed up, and he would just end up working in vain. Because if you want to make any changes to the arrangements that have already been started, you must first consider whether it will destroy the established plan and cause overall losses. Not to mention using crude means to intervene, which would only arouse public outrage.
Of course, the magicians present could see this kind of thinking. Even Ruan Wenyue will more or less reveal his intention to win over in his words. Lin was noncommittal. Anyway, it's just a casual chess move. As long as he doesn't get kicked out, he doesn't care too much about how far he can go.
On the other hand, these two Ruan brothers, once they started business negotiations, they were very skillful in making bad faces and bad faces at the same time. It was not the first time that this happened. The most valuable thing is that you will feel pressure during the conversation, but you will not feel disgusted.
An ordinary person would probably be confused by this series of attacks. But for Lin, he couldn't bear to put too much effort into this anyway. If he wanted to get the other party to do more, it was understandable to give up the profits.
But the key part is that you still have to be careful about what you should do. There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. If you only contribute money and no effort, and don't care about anything else, just sitting and waiting to receive money, you will be eaten up sooner or later.
When the first round of negotiations comes to an end, it is time for the banquet to end. After all, the pace of life in Lost Land is not as fast as those in advanced metropolises on Earth. Except for some uninterrupted research, no one will stay up all night to work. So after Ruan Wenyue agreed to visit his home tomorrow to discuss the follow-up content, everyone left today.
Of course, someone still drove the half-finished car on the return trip. Under the envious eyes of a group of young people, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
The magician who was invited came to the banquet alone, so he came and went like the wind. Others were bringing their families. They said they were leaving, and the waiters responsible for driving the cars were in a hurry. Take the horses out of the stables and hitch them to the cart. Then according to the order of status, who can get on the bus and leave first, and who will have to wait a while. But despite being so busy, there is still order in the chaos.
Whether it is French Saint Babak Abu Nahan, his friends, students, or members of the Ruan family of the Gia Long Chamber of Commerce, they all have a place to stay in the holy city. They only used this noble residence to host a banquet.
As the head of one of the branches of the Nguyen family, Nguyen Van Viet and his brother Nguyen Van Chiu left in the same carriage. Outside the car were two rows of guards with guns trotting behind them. The two brothers sat firmly among them.
After the carriage left the noble mansion, Ruan Wenzhao, who had been holding back his words, finally spoke and asked: "Brother, why don't you insist on setting up that center near our mine?"
"What's the reason for doing this?"
"In our territory, we have the final say. If the magician is not convinced, just kick him out. What right does a mere magician have to negotiate terms with us?"
"If he only has a technology like cars, I would consider the same approach as you. But have you ever thought about what else he has at his disposal, such as airships, ship-cutting knives, printing presses, and even his modified magic tower? Each of these technologies has considerable benefits. If you follow your approach, it will be equivalent to cutting off the possibility of other cooperation, right? "
