"Very well, I think this is the end of our call. ”

The Marquis of Southgate handed the magic phone box back to Lord Caroline.

Lord Caroline wanted to pick up the magic phone box and persuade him a few more words, but he found that the green indicator light on the magic phone box representing the call had gone out, and he immediately smiled bitterly.

It seems that Xu Yi's attitude this time is also irreparable.

"Uncle Dayolen, let's go back, what kind of bullshit Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce dare to treat you with such an attitude! Fortunately, this is the Duchy of Stantin, if it were in our Maro Empire, I would give him a good look immediately!"

Marquis Southgate narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Seymour, and did not speak, but turned his head to look at Lord Caroline.

"Your Highness, the Lord of the County. ”

"Huh? ah...... Marquis, you ......" Carolineshire asserted her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She knew very well in her heart that this time Xu Yi could be regarded as ruining the opportunity to cooperate with the Maro Empire.

From the perspective of interests, Xu Yi's approach this time is simply stupid.

But from a personal point of view, Lord Caroline felt that Xu Yi just now was simply full of charm.

This contradictory feeling made her not know how to express her inner thoughts except for a wry smile.

"Your Royal Highness, let's go, President Xu must have been in a hurry. ”

"Oh...... Huh?" Lord Caroline nodded, then widened in surprise. "Your Excellency, Lord Marquis...... Are you going to see President Hee?"

"Why not?" said the Marquis of Southgate with a strange look on his face, and asked Lord Caroline. "Isn't that what we originally planned?"

"But...... But......" Lord Caroline pointed to Seymour, who was also surprised. "Viscount Seymour's business......"

"Seymour?" the Marquis of Southgate turned his face to look at Seymour, and the smile on his face instantly turned gloomy and unusually low. Said in an unquestioning tone: "Seymour." Walk with these two vigilantes. Cooperate with their investigations. Remember for me, you must cooperate with them well and work hard. If you dare to get into trouble again, I don't mind teaching you myself in place of your father. ”

Although there was no harsh feeling in Marquis Southgate's tone, Seymour couldn't help but tremble.

He knew very well that this time, Uncle Dajoren was serious.

So he didn't have the slightest idea of resisting, and obediently walked over to the two vigilantes.

The Marquis of Southgate smiled at the two also stunned vigilantes: "Both. Thank you very much. Please be patient with my nephew, and if you need anything, you can always contact me or Lord Caroline through the Guò Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

With that said, he sat back in the magic car, and didn't look at Seymour, but just waved to Lord Caroline.

"Your Highness the County Lord, let's go. ”

Lord Caroline looked at Seymour and then at the Marquis of Southgate with a strange expression, and without saying a word, she got into the magic car.

A moment later. A convoy of seven magic cars set off at the same time and quickly disappeared into the far end of the road.

###

An hour later. The convoy came to a slow halt in front of the gate of Hui Ye's private estate by the sea.

Seeing Xu Yi standing in front of the gate from a distance, staring at this side, Lord Caroline felt a little strange in her heart.

She wasn't surprised how Xu Yi knew about the arrival of the convoy in advance, after all, this was Xu Yi's territory, and it would be strange if he didn't even know this.

She wondered why Xu Yi had a hearty smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be affected in the slightest by the conversation he had just had with Marquis Southgate.

You know, judging by general logic, the conversation between Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate just now obviously means that they have completely collapsed, and it stands to reason that the two people should be angry with each other now and ignore each other.

But not only did Marquis Southgate's reaction just now surprise Lord Caroline, but now Xu Yi's demeanor also baffled her.

What are these two men going on in their heads?

The doubts in the mind of the county lord Caroline waited for her to get out of the magic car and stand with Xu Yi, who was greeted with a smile on her face, but she showed the same bright smile.

"Hey, Caroline, it's been a year and a half since I last saw you, right? Xu Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to Lord Caroline.

Lord Caroline looked down at Xu Yi's outstretched right hand, but suddenly showed a mischievous smile, suddenly opened his arms and pounced directly, and then hugged Xu Yi tightly in his arms, and kissed her on the face unceremoniously.

"Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still so cold to me, I am very sad. ”

Feeling the heat from the Caroline County Lord's lips, Xu Yi's face was a little embarrassed and a little helpless, after thinking about it, he also raised his hands and gave the Caroline County Lord a hug, but he didn't kiss back.

"Hey, Caroline, there's a guest here after all. ”

Hearing Xu Yi say this, Lord Caroline let go of her arms with a smile.

Xu also reminded her that there were still guests here, and the meaning of the words was not to treat her as a guest, but as her own person?

"Well, Xu Yi, let me introduce you, this is the Marquis of Dajoren Southgate. Lord Marquis, he is Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate met their eyes, and a knowing smile appeared on both of their faces at the same time, and then they reached out and shook each other's hands at the same time.

"Your Excellency, Marquis, welcome. ”

"President Xu, I am very happy to finally meet you. ”

The two glanced at each other, laughed together, and then Xu Yi said: "Lord Marquis, I have good news for you, because Viscount Seymour actively cooperated in the security office, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and agreed to pay sufficient compensation, and has obtained the forgiveness of the injured passengers on the magic locomotive of the bus." Therefore, according to the regulations, he may be temporarily held in the police station for a maximum of seven days without any other punishment. ”

"Oh? That's good. The Marquis of Southgate nodded slightly, as if he didn't care about what kind of punishment Seymour received, and after a slight hesitation, he asked, "President Xu, I have some preliminary understanding of the magic locomotive, but can I ask if there is any difference between the magic bus locomotive here and the magic bus locomotive I saw in Bangta City?"

"It didn't make much of a difference, because the city bus system in Bonta City was originally designed by me. If I had to make a comparison, it would be that we have a better public transport system here. One is that I was limited in designing the city's public transport system in Bonta City, but not here. The second is that it is relatively close to the production base of our chamber of commerce, which can provide more and better passenger magic locomotives. ”

"Well, I understand. So let me ask you another question, is it very difficult to build such a city bus system if there are not enough roads as a foundation?"

"It is possible to make it easier to run a magic locomotive if there is a road, but it is not necessary. The various types of passenger magic locomotives currently manufactured by our chamber of commerce have been able to meet the conditions of running on ordinary dirt and gravel roads outside the highway, so as long as there are ordinary roads, as long as there are enough passenger magic locomotives, you can try to form an urban bus system. ”

"If you want to build a city bus system in a city that is more than ten times larger than Bangta City, how many gold coins do you estimate it will cost?"

"It's not easy to estimate because every city has different conditions and needs, and it needs to be measured. But under general conditions, if the area is more than ten times larger than Bonta City, then the size of the city's public transport system is very likely to be dozens of times that of Bonta City. ”

"Why not a dozen times?"

"It's not a simple multiplication, because the bigger the city, the more complex the situation becomes, and the resources that need to be met are even greater. ”

"Well, that's right. Then I heard that the total investment of the urban public transport system in Bangta City is about 300,000 gold coins at the beginning, and about 50,000 gold coins will be invested every year in the future. According to what you just said, if an urban public transport system is built in a city more than ten times the size, the initial total investment is very likely to become tens of millions of gold coins, and the subsequent annual investment will be as high as millions of gold coins?"

"Not really. Because Bangta City was only the first attempt to build an urban bus system, it cost a lot more unnecessarily. If it is reorganized now, I can control the cost to about 100,000 to 150,000 gold coins. As for the subsequent annual investment, it can be roughly offset with the annual income, and no additional investment is required. ”

"Oh, that's pretty cheap......"

......

Seeing that Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate quickly discussed like two old friends, and instead left themselves aside, Lord Caroline couldn't help but roll her eyes and interrupt the conversation between the two.

"Hey, Xu Yi, aren't you going to invite us in for a cup of tea?"

Xu Yi was stunned, then smiled and patted his head, and reached out to make a gesture of please.

"Please, Marquis and Caroline, come in and sit down. I've prepared a hearty lunch and I'll be able to enjoy it later. ”

The Marquis of Southgate smiled, and walked into the manor.

But before he could take two steps, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Xu Yi a question.

And Xu Yi is also strange, no matter what Marquis of Southgate asks, he gives a very detailed answer, and there is no perfunctory and bored appearance at all, as if he really regards Marquis Southgate as a confidant.

Seeing the heated discussion between the two of them, Lord Caroline could only shake her head helplessly, and then saw Steele smiling behind the living room door waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Staring at Steele's visibly bulging lower abdomen, Lord Caroline was stunned for a moment, then let out a faint sigh from between her lips. (To be continued......)
