Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 2 Everything is negotiable
The current image of Wang Wei is like a gentleman, holding an incomparably beautiful little girl in his arms, kissing and hugging, and his face is full of the smugness of a rich man in the countryside. There is no gentlemanly demeanor at all, and it can be said that this brother has just entered the city. It's just that the girl with the beast ears on her head is obviously a soul walker, and such a good girl was actually occupied by this pervert, even in an open big city, there are many people who are unhappy about it.
Naturally, Wang Wei ignored the unpleasantness, and he swaggered all the way into a tavern that was not very large, but had a very distinctive decoration.
"An oak glass of gin, two small glasses of juice, a plate of nuts. ”
Wang Wei said to the smiling waitress as he popped a gold coin out of her hand.
"This gentleman is an Isaac?"
Isaac's characteristic gear logo on the gold coin made the waitress recognize the man's nationality.
"That's right, from the village of Isaac. ”
Wang Wei said with a grin, but this sentence made Luna on the side give him a fierce look.
The waitress who has read countless people naturally will not take Wang Wei's words seriously, none of the guys who throw gold coins directly are from the countryside, let alone the two young ladies beside him, although they seem to be wearing very simple clothes, but the temperament between the eyebrows is absolutely impossible to imitate, if not rich and noble, at least the family environment is superior.
"Oh my God, did you come with the big boat?"
As soon as he heard that Wang Wei was really from Isaac, several men dressed as mercenaries who were also drinking on the side immediately shouted.
"That's right, that's what I came on. ”
Wang Wei's vanity immediately swelled up without limit, this thing was made by him!
As a result, almost the entire tavern was drawn to him, and it was clear that the search had become the biggest talk of the city in Wellington by now, and would probably continue to appear in people's mouths even for a month. A large cargo ship made of metal, capable of crossing distant borders and carrying tens of thousands of tons of cargo, this is definitely the first in the world!
This is a harbor city, and there is no shortage of seafarers here, and there are many taverns, all of whom are far from exception showing great interest in this big ship and strong envy, and they keep asking Wang Wei this and that, eager to take out everything Wang Wei knows. And when they heard that such a huge freighter was actually only responsible for more than 30 seafarers, they were even more surprised.
Of course, Wang Wei will not explain to them the principle of the giant ship unit, this thing is an absolute military secret, and no one can know about it.
Wang Wei drank hot gin, while Luna, who was on the side, crushed the nuts and sent the nuts to Wang Wei's mouth, and every time Wang Wei opened his mouth, he would kiss Luna's hand by the way, causing everyone to follow suit. Just when everyone was enthusiastically asking Wang Wei for advice, a group of people walked in, and when they saw these people, the entire tavern immediately fell silent. Luna gave Wang Wei another fierce look, warning him of his pervert move, and Wang Wei simply hugged Elidan, and gave Luna a smirk.
The man who came in was dressed in a military uniform, and judging from the sign hanging on it, he came to Wang Wei in a few steps, and then whispered something, and motioned to Wang Wei to the two people behind him who covered their faces with hoods. Then Wang Wei drank all the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp, put the nuts in his pocket, and then pulled Luna and Illidan upstairs. The two men who had just entered the tavern also went upstairs, and the man dressed as an officer sat down at a table near the staircase, asked for a large glass of beer, and drank it slowly.
Entering the only open door, the hooded man revealed his face.
"I am really fortunate to be personally received by our prince. ”
Wang Wei grinned and gave a gentleman's salute to the great prince of the Tolkien Empire and the future heir of the empire, and then punched him hard.
"Damn, I'll salute you, are you really standing there waiting for me, and you don't know how to stop it?"
Wang Wei's action made the man standing behind the prince slightly moved, but it was only for a moment, and the man with a face full of incantations fell silent.
The prince of Aragon was a little helpless, as the prince of the largest and oldest empire on the continent, he was used to being saluted, and every time he returned the courtesy, he never said that he had made others suffer in etiquette. But this kid is so unreasonable that he salutes himself and even teaches the other party a lesson.
"It's okay, I'll give you back this gift, and you won't suffer. ”
To deal with this kind of person, Aragorn could only follow the gag and honestly perform a chivalric salute.
"Good, good. ”
Wang Wei nodded, then pulled Luna and Illidan to sit on the bed.
The upstairs of the tavern were all lodging rooms, with two beds facing each other, and one country sitting on one side.
"As things stand, you and your ship have really become the focus of the country, and probably the whole world soon. ”
The eldest prince first brought a high hat to the other party at the beginning.
"Of course, we can do this because the Tolkien Empire has helped us at this critical moment, otherwise our country really doesn't know how to solve this problem. ”
Luna said modestly.
"In the handling of this issue, we are completely on the side of the Isaac Empire, whether it is my father or the Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tolkien Empire thinks so. ”
The eldest prince said.
"Hey, you diplomats are so good at speaking, if it were me, I wouldn't have come up with so many words. It's obviously a mutually beneficial thing, and it's all actions that are completely linked to interests, so many plots can be involved. ”
Wang Wei pierced all the papers with one mouth.
"That's right, actually, that's it, it's all for the good of the country. ”
The eldest prince said with a wry smile.
When any country deals with anything, it has to put a high-sounding name on its means, and it is the first time I have seen it shouted directly at the top of his voice like this guy.
"Your Emperor, your father, this uncle is obviously far-sighted, and it is beneficial for us to help us at such a time, we can open up a new situation, and you can gain more long-term benefits through my shipping. ”
Wang Wei said with a mouthful of wine.
"That's right, as you say. ”
The eldest prince said.
"I don't know what happened between you and the Sea Clan, but it is clear that the Sea Clan is fully tolerant of your freighter, so it now seems that in the future, ocean shipping will become the real mainstream of world development. And the Tolkien Empire is on the shipping arteries between the continents, and with the convenient transportation advantages since history, we can easily create the commercial center of the whole world in the future. ”
"There will always be a situation of mutual benefit, and not everyone thinks with their butts like Hugo's idiots. ”
Wang Wei pouted and said.
"Of course, but I'd like to have a brief consultation with you on a few things. ”
Speaking of this, the eldest prince finally asked Wang Wei tentatively.
"I knew that it was definitely not that simple for you to ask me to come here to play, let's talk about it, in this world, everything is negotiable. ”
Wang Wei finally waited for the other party to say the substance.
"Actually, my father and I have always been very interested in your technology for building steel warships, I don't know, your ship, whether it will be sold or not?"
The words of the eldest prince immediately alerted Luna, although he had thought of various possibilities, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually tried to buy a battleship from Wang Wei?
"Sell, of course sell, as long as you can pay a starting price, this thing can naturally be sold. ”
Wang Wei agreed.
"So, can you tell me the details of building a ship like yours?"
The eldest prince immediately asked excitedly.
"Sorry, no. ”
Wang Wei spread his hands and said.
"According to the relevant restrictions on the export of our internal armaments, all items of the super battleship are classified first-class, and no leakage is allowed, if you want, we can only provide the export of regular-level steel battleships. Of course, there are certain restrictions on this export. In other words, you can only buy regular-tier steel ships, and you can't get anything on super ships. And the construction time of the battleship is also very long, the average main body of a battleship takes a year to build, of course, this kind of thing is only my own estimate, maybe it will be longer, maybe it will be shorter. ”
Wang Wei said simply, obviously, hearing Wang Wei say this, Prince Aragon's expression was not so fanatical.
"You're right, I'm taking it for granted. ”
"Actually, don't be frustrated, you know, the steel battleship is a steel battleship after all, it is not an ordinary wooden ship can compare, let alone the kind of iron ship can compete, think about it, as long as the other party's cannonballs can't penetrate your ship, what else do you have to be afraid of? Of course, for our relationship is so good, when we really sit together and talk, everything is easy to discuss. ”
