Cassius's home was located on the edge of a small pond, and there were two or three other families nearby, all far apart.

Duchamp didn't know why the Juggernaut had chosen such a remote place to live, and with trepidation, he followed Dan up the stairs of the house.

Dan listened carefully for a moment and judged, "No one." ”

Disappointment swelled up in Duchamp's heart, a few minutes ago he had been full of worry and hesitation as he didn't know how to deal with it, and now he was full of resentment about missing the meeting with the Sunshine Maiden and the black-haired prince.

Dan went to the nearby farm again and asked the farmer, but still did not hear from Cassius.

Duchamp had no choice but to give the prepared gifts, a walkman from the interview and some candy toys, to the housewife named Theo, and asked her to pass them on to the Bright family.

On the way back to the city, Dan noticed that Duchamp's footsteps sounded less dull.

Could it be that in such a short time, Duchamp has already thought about it?

Dan was thinking to himself.

Behind him, Duchamp was also secretly pondering this unfortunate visit.

"Is it because I'm not quite ready yet, so the goddess gives me some time as a buffer? But the next time we meet, it won't be like that! ”

He clenched a fist to himself.

Just four days after returning from the Mainz mines, Irina's car returned to Chase.

Although there is no public announcement, all those in the know know that Lane Ford and Chase Central Workshop must be cooperating on some major project. Calvard's spies are racking their brains to find out what's going on. Forced by the curiosity of the allies, Chase Central Workshop had to reveal a little news: Lane Ford Society intends to purchase a large number of civilian airship engines from Central Workshop, and the two sides are negotiating, and at the same time, allies are warmly welcome to order airship engines.

At a time when the Embassy of the Republic of Calvard in the Kingdom of Liber was nervously weighing the impact of the incident on her country, Irina Lineford officially submitted a letter of intent to the Chase Central Workshop.

"It's amazing how efficient the Lane Ford Club is!" When the director of the Madoko workshop received the cooperation text, he couldn't help but express his surprise.

It is a legally valid text signed with the name of Gunn Lane Ford, the current chairman of the board of directors of the company Lane Ford.

"As the sole heir to the Lane Ford Society, I have certain privileges." The businesswoman proudly lifted her glasses, and the coercion and momentum rose.

Back on the airship, the businesswoman changed.

"Stop everything in Chase at once, and come with me to Heimdall right now." She spoke entirely in the tone of a tribal subordinate to Duchamp, who was following closely behind.

"But I still have a big business in Chase, and I'm in a pinch!" Duchamp dissatisfied.

"The affairs and projects of the Green Leaf Society, let Goode and Hemi take full responsibility, from today onwards, you must go all out and shift your focus to the airship project." The tone of the businesswoman was irrefutable.

"What's wrong? Irina, you seem to be particularly nervous? Duchamp asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Irina stretched out her hand and motioned for the bodyguards around her to exit the room, and roared in a low voice, "Do you think such a large project involving billions of mira is child's play?" With the efficiency of the board, how can it be discussed, let alone passed, in such a short time. She opened the letter of intent to cooperate, turned to the page where it was signed, pointed to the name and said, "In order to obtain this signature of my father, I blocked the full credit of the heir." ”

The heiress's low roar echoed across the airship: "Now, do you know? There are so many things about it! Whatever! Heavy! Want! ”

Duchamp apologized repeatedly, although he did not know why he apologized. He quickly ran to tell Dan that the plan that had been planned to break through the eighth order in one go under Dan's guidance had changed, and he had to return to China immediately if he had something.

"That's fine, you've been working a little too hard lately, Stellory." Dan admonished earnestly. "The eighth order is the most important threshold for martial artists, to truly get in touch with Yaoli, and to master and mobilize Yaoli, this is a kind of body and mind perception of the force of the world, the purer the force you can master, the more space you can rise, and even break through the limits of the human body and reach the realm of sainthood. So, don't rush and explore the true power of this world with your heart. ”

On the way to the imperial capital of Heimdall, Irina introduced Duchamp's goal of this trip to the imperial capital.

"In Rurey, I have met with the Marquis of Rogner to discuss the matter, and the Marquis is very supportive of it. The next step is PR royalty. My think tank has set a target for a man who is very suitable for the chairmanship of the Airship Club, and that is the brother-in-law of His Majesty today, Earl Elwin. He has always been close to the royal family, has the trust of His Majesty, and has been in the army for many years. I hadn't dealt with anyone before, but I found a suitable referral. I hope that through him, I will lobby His Majesty again. ”

"Who is going to lobby the Prime Minister, after all, if the project is to be launched, he must agree to it." Duchamp asked.

"One of the directors of the Reinford Society in the imperial capital, the president of the Conlaitt Society, had a close friendship with Prime Minister Osborne. Conlaitt was supportive of my plan, and he was willing to invest money in civilian airship operations. So he would be in charge of lobbying Prime Minister Osborne. ”

"In that case, if everything is all right, after the establishment of the airship club, the airship association will be established, the routes and flight standards will be formulated, and the joint operation method will be formulated, and the president of the flight association will be elected among the members of the club." Duchamp flipped through the stack of project evaluation reports, which were apparently made by Irina's personal team working overtime day and night.

Irina nodded, "That's all later." The key is to get the project off the ground first. ”

The airship flew over the endless mountains towards the border between the two countries. Irina kept introducing the situation during this time.

According to the short-term mapping of the Lane Ford Society, the empire has great potential in civil aviation, and this is a sleeping market.

Just a few wealthy families who have been in contact with them have expressed their intention to order airships, and the Marquis of Rogner even expressed his intention to undertake a direct flight route to the imperial capital, and will order at least one large scheduled ship.

In addition, there are some small lords who are located in remote areas and are not covered by the railway line, and they are also interested in ordering some small and medium-sized airships in case of emergency. In addition, there were some aristocrats who wanted to buy small airships as a pastime. Forty ships, this is just a conservative estimate, and by the time the project is launched, the empire will become the country with the most airships on the continent.

When the two money fans think about it, their eyes are shiny things.

Duchamp suddenly remembered that he had scraped together enough Yaowa, and the next step was the problem of "borrowing electricity". He couldn't help but think of the tall blue tower next to the Lane Ford Club building, which was the energy tower that powered the public facilities throughout Rure. When the time comes, maybe the idea of that energy tower will have to be hit.

Thinking that the guiding workbench would be upgraded soon, he was happy in his heart, and looked at Irina's serious face, and said in a big way: "Don't be so serious, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, based on my Du Daxian's cultivation, this plan will definitely come true, and maybe there will be unexpected surprises." ”

Irina did not miss the opportunity to blackmail Duchamp: "If there is no unexpected surprise at that time, you will have to make compensation." ”

Duchamp said indifferently: "With the strength of this genius, how can the prediction be disappointed." Besides, I have all sorts of ideas in my head. Not really. I'll pay you the Red Devils. ”

"Red Devils? What's that? Irina asked curiously.

"It's a beautiful sports car, fiery red, top-notch, passionate, can be turned into a convertible on a sunny day, absolutely cool." Duchamp said yearningly.

"Hmph, listen to how many times you've hung your appetite, but you don't see anything real." Irina pretended to be angry.

"It's almost coming, I've been studying painting diligently lately, and I'll be able to draw soon." Duchamp said casually.

"Miss Irina, it's only 30 minutes away from the Scarlet Emperor's Capital." The accompanying flight attendant came to report.

30 minutes, wouldn't you be able to see it?

Duchamp proposed, "Let's move to the front cabin and enjoy the scenery of the imperial capital." ”

From the air, the imperial capital of Heimdall is even more vast and magnificent, the red city reaches into the sky, eight radioactive arterial roads, the "imperial capital" Balfrey Palace arches in it, and the railway line extending from the central station in all directions declares that this is the center of the world.

Miss Irina traveled, and the reception level was naturally not bad, and as soon as the airship stopped at Heimdall Airport, a middle-aged fat man dressed in ostentatious clothes greeted her respectfully.

"A warm welcome to Miss Irina from Chase, I have prepared a place for you to stay, and I ask you not to dislike it."

Irina said with a smile on her face, "President Conwright, you are so polite. But there was no intention of refusing.

The fat man was happy in his heart, guided Irina to a luxury car, and opened the door for Irina himself. I was suddenly surprised to see an inconspicuous young man who followed Irina into the RV.

Irina's eyes flickered behind the lenses, and she introduced without changing her face: "President Conlight, this is His Excellency S. Duchamp, the president of the Green Leaf Society, and it must be the first time you have met. ”

Kanglaite suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "It turned out that the president of the Green Leaf Society was here in person, and please forgive me for being clumsy, I have always admired the products of your company, but I didn't expect you to be so young and promising, the president." ”

Duchamp himself felt fluttering when President Conlight said this, but he was also an old fritter, politely conceded a few sentences, and asked: "I don't know what industry Conlaitte Club mainly operates?" Irina said that you have a very close relationship with the Prime Minister. ”

President Conlaite was said to be proud, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even looked at Duchamp more pleasing to the eye.

"Where, it's just the blessing of the Torlein Ford Society, which mainly supplies some supplies to the army. However, this time, the eldest lady is far-sighted and puts forward the overall plan for civilian airships, and I also feel fascinated and will do my best to promote it. The Prime Minister will definitely do his best to convince him, and if he can achieve this, he will definitely be able to further deepen the influence of the eldest lady in the Lane Ford Society, as well as the influence of the Lane Ford Society in the Empire. ”

Duchamp saw that Irina was said with a rare self-absorbed smile, and couldn't help but snort in his heart, thinking jealously: This dead fat man's ability to talk to people and talk nonsense seems to have been perfected.
