Chapter 182: Ruins and Rebirth (Part II)

A few minutes later, in a box at the Chaldean Club of the Cairn Corner in the Krubel neighborhood, there was a staggered exchange of cups.

"This cup is for the new director, Mr. Robert Noyce."

Bang –

Eight wine glasses clashed together, golden liquor swaying.

The wine was an extremely light ale, and several weak old men were not strong enough to drink, so they only took a shallow sip, and Miss Grace looked the most heroic in comparison to the dry sip.

After a glass of wine, two blushes appeared on her face, and she simply untied the belt, making her long silver hair shawl hang down, making it look even more noble and extraordinary.

It is worthy of being the eldest lady from the Jones Chamber of Commerce, and several people are secretly worried.

Making the business of Kane's Horn Turing has always been their long-cherished wish, even obsession. After all, the Jones Chamber of Commerce is to their merchants what the Jialan Empire is to mages, synonymous with orthodoxy and the Holy Land. Even if these people pay lip service to the group of honest and fair pedantic people, and taunt them in different ways, in fact, the fragile and sensitive self-esteem always encourages them to strive for the approval of that group of people, and it is better to be able to return home and show off.

This is no longer a tsundere, but a sick coquette, and the more you can't get it, the more commotion it will be.

This is also the reason why several people surrounded Grace when she revealed her identity a little, and even did not hesitate to abolish William in person, and they even felt that a mere William as a bargaining chip to enter Turing somewhat devalued Grace's identity and tarnished their dreams.

"Anyway, Turing is still a virgin~"

As if drunk, Grace climbed lightly into the high-backed chair and sat on the edge of the back, swinging her two seductive calves.

"Now, let's talk about military expenses first, the quarterly equipment maintenance of several legions will cost at least millions of gold coins, but what kind of magical equipment maintenance can a group of rough men in the military know? If this work is handed over to the scholars of the Silver Candle Society for a period of time, I promise that I will be able to erase at least one zero cost, and as for how much you can earn, it all depends on your guts.

"And the horse farm...... The southeast area of the Horse Plain has many grasslands, suitable for grazing, and Turing is rich in cavalry, but they have always taken the old road of forage cultivation, and there is no breakthrough, but as far as I know, there are not a few students in the Guangjialan Academy who study grafting and hybrid cultivation, not to mention that potions alchemy is still your strong point in Kane's Horn, if this business can also be grabbed, it is comparable to the business of magic transportation.

"So I'm very puzzled, you obviously have a good handful of cards in your hand, but you don't dare to play all day long, what are you cowardly, are you a man, to deal with a brainless creature like a Turing man, do you still rack your brains to think of some strange strategies?"

Andrew couldn't hold his head up by her, and resigned: "Turing people are upright, and they are really not easy to get along with......"

"Oh, Turings are not easy to get along with," Grace burped, her face flushed a little redder, and she almost fell out of her chair.

"For example, in front of the people of the Jones Chamber of Commerce, you, and you, you are like prostitutes stripped naked, and that little bit of caution is clearly seen. But, remember, it's just 'mindfulness', and you don't have to hide it. As long as you say 'more advanced technology can reduce costs' and make both sides win-win, they will definitely be able to impress the group of guys who can save money. You're a prostitute, not a pickpocket, you can sit on his lap and touch his face and say, 'If you give money, we'll have some fun', why not?' And this group of honest people say that if you don't steal learning, you must not steal learning, at most they will try to reverse your recipe from the consumption of ingredients, but you can bury smoke bombs in this area......"

Grace's in-depth analysis made several old men dry to listen. Although half of their bodies were buried in the ground, they spent almost the rest of their lives thinking about how to deal with Turing people, but they never penetrated into the enemy, did not understand the temperament of Turing people, and those people were rigid and rigid, leaving an impression that they were not easy to get along with, and over time they became a knot in their hearts to scare themselves.

But Grace is different, she is a Turing person, and she knows the ills of Turing people all too well - in fact, this is what she tried to change in the first place, but she didn't have time to achieve. Turings could conquer the world with a little flexibility, but they wanted to use the stupidest methods. Sometimes it's a dead brain to be too upright, and what she says is not nonsense, every sentence is the truth.

Andrew stood up with some excitement.

"It's great that Kane's Horn can be favored by Miss Grace, this cup is to you!"

"Oh?" Grace smiled, and Robert's bones were crisp when he heard it, but he buried his head deeply, not daring to crook his head in the slightest.

"Anyway...... Don't you all have to investigate my identity? Or have you lost this reason? ”

"Hehe, you're laughing." Andrew put down his glass for a moment, "I had the privilege of spending some time in Turing City, the capital of the Turing kings, when I was younger, and your accent seems to have brought me back to those good days...... No, you are more authentic than they are, and you know more about the Turings than all our investigations over the years, and any investigation in front of this fact is blasphemy against you. ”

"That's right," someone immediately continued, "and I can't imagine any other company that can produce such an elegant and outstanding lady as you, if I were forty years younger, I would definitely become your courtier, and fall for your style, and what the flower of the blue, what the rose of the morning star, is not worth mentioning in front of you!" ”

Grace suddenly giggled, "You guys have so sweet mouths, and you coaxed a lot of girls when you were young." ”

Everyone raised a few rounds of cups, the atmosphere gradually became familiar, and Grace also threw out her "price code".

She had just shown enough sincerity, and several others were also waiting for the moment of the offer.

"You don't know, there's a lot of competition within the Jones Chamber of Commerce."

Grace gently turned the silver fork in her hand, and her tone was unusually sad, so that anyone who knew her well would have to marvel at her. Miss Grace has never shown such a touching expression in her daily life!

She is like a genius girl who has suffered setbacks, with unwillingness in her loss, and she is unwilling to grit her teeth implicitly......

"Obviously, I won, but they think that I have won disgracefully and lost the tradition of the Jones Chamber of Commerce - hehe, since ancient times, only money has come first, if it weren't for their pedantic thinking, where would there be any horn of Kane! Where else are there gold-encrusted roses! Don't they know that their opponents are all a bunch of rubbish! Waste! ”

Grace tilted her neck, drank another glass, and slammed the glass on the table.

Everyone in the house thought she was drunk and crazy, and they didn't dare to complain.

Several people looked at each other a few times, and years of tacit understanding and cunning made them communicate without hindrance.

"Sure enough, the competition failed......"

"This kind of thing can only be done by Turing......"

"It's a pity, she's not from Jialan."

"Listen to her offer, I have a hunch that this is not simple......

……

"Let's get down to business, then." Grace stood up and passed her empty glass past the few people present: "I, I will help you open the Turing market, but, in return, I want you to support my personal business." ”

"What business?"

Grace curled the corners of her mouth and slowly spat out a word: "Smuggling." ”

The room was silent, and even a pin could be heard clearly if it landed on the floor.

"Look, I knew you were scared stupid." Grace snorted in disdain and turned away, her long hair swaying like a wave. She didn't seem to notice the absurdity and smirk in the eyes of the directors.

"I understand that once this kind of thing is discovered, you will all lose your jobs, but you will not be so careful......" Grace turned around and looked at everyone proudly, "Sure enough, older people are all the same, and they can't accept it when they hear something exciting, I can even guess that your next sentence is-"

"Ahem, Miss Grace."

Andrew couldn't help but interrupt her complaining, and forced a smile and said, "I won't tell you...... In fact, over the years, the business of Cape Kane has not stopped......"

"What!?"

Grace's voice suddenly rose an octave.

"You, you, you, you......"

"You heard it right, that's right, honorable lady." The other stood up and said with some pride: "As far as smuggling is concerned, I can guarantee that the gold-encrusted roses and the Jones Chamber of Commerce together are no match for the horn of Kane." ”

Grace looked at them in a daze, frowned slightly, and then asked rhetorically, "...... you guys?" Earnest? ”

"Absolutely."

"Does 'smuggling' have any other meaning in Jialan? I have to confirm that you admit that you have been engaged in the 'smuggling' business that violates the legal principles of Jialan? Avoiding tax officials and making a lot of illegal profits? ”

"It may sound excessive, but that's the truth." Another old man stood up and said proudly: "We are indeed real experts in this area, and there are some things that not only Lawrence II does not know, but even his Lao Tzu, Lawrence I, and his Lao Tzu do not know!" ”

Grace's expression froze for a moment, a contrast that was extremely useful to several of the directors who were upsurged.

However, in the next second, she smiled.

"You ...... It's really a long time for me to see......"

At the same time, the walls around the box disappeared with a "bang", and the proud smiles of the six people instantly froze on their faces.

Around them were a dense array of royal city guards, led by His Royal Highness Fei Luo, the third prince, who looked at everyone with the same smile.

"It's a very unfortunate thing that now his son knows about it."
