He sent away a group of knights who were still riding horses and understood that this car made of magic materials could be said to be indestructible. What else does that person have to say? Of course he is preparing to go on a rampage.
However, God didn't want it to happen. The Grand Duke occupied the driver's seat and he had no intention of returning it. Moreover, the old man looked familiar to the magician who was younger than him but no longer belonged to the young group.
It's no wonder that he and the Dharma Saint are good friends, and both of them are very good at pretending to be familiar. The most terrible thing is that their vision and judgment are very accurate, and it is difficult for people to refuse the requests they make, rather than the kind of requests that are so over the top that they obviously want to take advantage of others.
You always have to cooperate in car manufacturing. Instead of sitting in the passenger seat, you can actually get more experience by driving yourself. But neither of these two goods have a driver's license. Even if they want to drive without a license, they still have to touch the steering wheel, step on the accelerator, and brake...
All right. If I think about it seriously, it seems that I think too much. There is no driver's license assessment in the lost land these days. Besides, when you drive for someone who can't drive, your biggest fear is that the other person will hit things randomly and crash the car; or he won't obey the traffic rules and get into a car accident with other vehicles.
Putting aside the traffic rules of Midi, no other vehicle would cause a car accident with him. Except, of course, the horse-drawn carriage.
Not to mention the random collision, the tree trunk that the person was surrounded by just now was smashed into pieces, making someone think that he had built a chariot. The slight dent in the sheet metal was restored to its original shape using magic shaping. So worrying about crashing the car or something is not a reason at all.
So there seems to be no difference between letting yourself run rampant, or leaving it to someone else to run rampant. So Lin agreed to let the Grand Duke drive, and also gave instructions on how to drive.
If there is one, there are two. It seems unreasonable to agree with the Grand Duke but not with the Dharma Saint sitting in the driver's seat.
The two big shots had their turn. As the head of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce and one of the partners this time, it seemed wrong not to let him drive the car himself. So someone simply taught it to all three people. Anyway, everyone can learn it if their ears are straighter and their eyes are brighter. It is difficult to hide it from others.
Just how these three people take turns getting into the driver's seat is a problem between them, and someone doesn't want to interfere. On the contrary, when you sit in the passenger seat, someone with your hands free can have time to check various data fed back by the car during the driving process, and also have time to chat with other people.
Otherwise, once you hold the steering wheel, you have to pay attention to the road conditions, pay attention to the condition of the car, and drive the vehicle, leaving you with no time to talk to others. When others took the steering wheel, they were in a similar situation. Either he is in excitement and just wants to press the accelerator to the bottom, or he is in a hurry, driving left and right, fast and slow.
I haven’t had this feeling of motion sickness for a long time...
After it was the Dharma Saint's turn to sit in the driver's seat, the Grand Duke had time to ask about the magician who created the car. "Sir Tripwood, as far as I know, you once showed Babak a large vehicle that could carry many people. So how many people were there?"
"Strictly speaking, if you want to carry more people, the car must be bigger; and the bigger the car, the more requirements it has on the road it can travel on. So there is no correct answer to this question. If you want me to answer, I would say you have to study the conditions of the roads, the horsepower of the engine and the structure of the vehicle body to determine how many soldiers the largest vehicle can carry."
"Oh, soldier." Duke Kawei's eyes lit up and he showed a sly smile.
"Don't say that the Grand Duke has never considered the military use of vehicles. In fact, everything has two sides. When a knife is placed in the kitchen, it is a kitchen utensil for cutting vegetables and fish; when placed on the battlefield, it is a killing weapon. It depends on the user. It’s just a matter of how you use it.”
"So, do we have any way to prevent others from using kitchen knives on the battlefield?" the Grand Duke tried to ask in a joking tone. Of course, Ruan Wenyue is also very concerned about such issues.
Lin laughed and said: "I am just leading the research and development, managing production, and the magician waiting to receive the money. Of course, this kind of thing is for the two people who want to cooperate to worry about. As long as I get my share As long as the money is distributed, I don’t have any objections to other things.”
The implication is that he doesn't care who sells or buys. So it is good news for the two people who plan to participate in this cooperation. However, as soon as their thoughts changed, they thought of different things. The Grand Duke showed a sharp gaze, which made Ruan Wenyue break into a cold sweat.
Although the person sitting in the passenger seat did not turn around to look at the expressions of the two people in the back seat. But their mood swings had long been under Lin's control. How could he not guess their current psychological activities. I guess it's the kind of thing that eliminates competitors and monopolizes profits. Lin pretended not to know and said casually:
"Actually, looking at the entire Lost Land, the market is very large. According to my plan, I not only hope to build vehicles that can be used by individuals, but also build a large number of vehicles that carry people or materials. In fact, the last one is the This is my original idea. I hope to change the current shortage of transportation energy in the Lost Land to solve the problem of materials for printing magic scrolls. And after the factory is officially put into production, how many cars can it build? And as long as it is a machine, there will be losses. Then the subsequent repairs and maintenance and replacement of old ones are destined to make people who have bought them a second or third time, but the time span will be longer. What I want to say is that the market is huge. , things can’t be sold out. The best way is to cooperate with people you can trust, build and sell the cars as quickly as possible, and get the money in your hands.”
Kawei Gong said: "Oh, don't you think that if only a few people know about such things, then we can, well, in your words, ensure the maximization of interests."
The Grand Duke's words were a bit in vain, and Ruan Wenyue's back became wet.
Lin was still smiling and said: "If I wanted to monopolize this business, I would have to organize my own manpower and arrange all aspects of things. This is too unrealistic for me. I am a magician with research talents. It's what I should do. If it's left to others to monopolize, I might sit and wait for the money for a few times before they get criticized for taking too much and try to kick me out again. In the end, monopoly Of course, a business can get the most benefits. In addition to letting the monopolist waste too much energy on things other than the product, it will also make people have some unnecessary ideas and actions. So I think that a state of competition is the best. .”
Such a statement made Ruan Wenyue secretly relieved. Kawei Gong was a little dissatisfied, but he immediately thought of this man's past performance and actions, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Is it possible that you have plans to spread coffee-related knowledge all over the world, like a forum, no matter what Regardless."
There is a long history of turning over the table when someone is unhappy, so we can’t help but guard against it. To the unimportant ordinary citizen, this is a sign of selflessness. But for people above a certain level, how could they not see through the benefits and tricks inside.
Lin turned around, smiled with his teeth, and said, "Didn't I tell you that if anyone makes it difficult for me, I won't let him have a good time. It's just that the threshold for the business of manufacturing cars is obviously higher than that of other things." , it’s not like some little shrimp can intervene. Anyone who can intervene must be someone with a certain level of strength and power. Anyway, when the time comes, I will sit on the mountain and watch the dragons and tigers fighting below, it will definitely be very lively."
The Grand Duke was silent. Just because he is far away from the core of power in the empire does not mean that he does not have power in his hands. And the so-called power is the power to make everything in the world run according to one's own wishes. He is no longer an adventurer who hides his identity and travels to mysterious places. The status of the Grand Duke of the Empire may not be the highest authority in the world, but it is not something that a magician can challenge.
I understand what this silence means for a man who was once a life-long friend and now has a Grand Duke. French Saint Babak Abnahan said in a joking tone: "My great, wise, wise and mighty Grand Duke, please listen to what I have to say, okay?"
"Fuck you, you're talking human language." Kawei Gong said pretending to be dissatisfied.
"Haha. What I want to say is, if you plan to deal with the person sitting next to me, don't count me in your combat power. I have no intention of challenging him."
Hey, hey, I'm right next to you. Shouldn't this kind of words be said behind the back?
"Oh, you admit that you will lose to a young boy." Duke Kawei said provocatively.
Hello! Although I'm still young in your eyes, can you say this in front of me?
"Ha, I want to tell you how troublesome this man is. If you haven't tried it yourself, you definitely don't want to believe it. But let me put it another way. You have to think clearly before deciding what to do next. He I once said in a mathematics course: "If I were to take second place in escaping in this world, no one would be qualified to take first place." People who take action without confidence are called fools. Although I have never felt that you How smart, but you have to consider the weight of this sentence."
Well, someone is embarrassed beyond measure.
However, when Duke Kawei heard the warning from his long-time friend, he couldn't ignore it. Everyone can understand the principle of killing a tiger but causing trouble instead.
If there is a magician who claims that what he is best at is escaping, then anyone who wants to deal with him must consider that if the opponent is not killed in the first blow, then what he will face next is an endless "magician" Trouble, even assassination. Maybe the magicians in the Lost Land like to be upfront like warriors, but that doesn't mean they don't have weird and elusive methods.
Reckless people are easy to deal with, but wretched people...
Then I think of all the rumors related to this magician. Perhaps, he should use a different attitude to look at this magician who is not very reliable in his eyes.
The Grand Duke let out a hearty laugh, as if to clear away the haze that had been vaguely planted before.
He doesn't mind being equal to others, or even being above him. After all, a mere grand duke is not yet at the pinnacle of power in this world. His strength is not so strong that he can defeat everything in the world by himself. So in the face of many people and many things, as long as you adjust your mentality, there will be nothing you can't adapt to.
