Chapter 205: Irene's Father's Gift, Routine Dwarf
After rushing overnight, I finally entered Qiongbi City at dawn in the morning.
Luo Yin was a little tired, after all, the feeling of this steam car sitting up was really not good.
But the dwarves were in high spirits, and the thought of seeing the legendary repeating pistol in a few moments made them even more excited.
Without notifying the city hall, Luo Yin directly took the group of people to Tulip Manor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, eat breakfast first, and after breakfast, I will show you the musket."
Luo Yin said.
"Good!"
Luo Yin had informed Misha in advance, so the servants had already prepared breakfast.
The breakfast at Tulip Manor was unlike any other place, and the dwarves who ate it for the first time were amazed.
Is there such food? Not to mention, it's delicious!
However, they are different from Erin, they don't have such high requirements for food, even if it is such a delicious food, they will praise it, and then it will be gone, and they will all look at Luo Yin with blank eyes.
"Ahem......
Luo Yin knew that he couldn't delay it any longer, so he immediately spoke.
"Well, it's not that I don't believe you, but it's my secret after all, so I hope you don't reveal it......
"Don't worry about this Luo Yin, we just look at the principle of this repeating gun, and we won't imitate it, unless you give us authorization, otherwise we won't reveal it at all!" I swear by the god of forging!"
Waters said loudly as he touched his whitebeard.
The other dwarves also began to echo, saying that they would not reveal it, so that Luo Yin would believe in their conduct.
Hearing these assurances, a smile appeared on Luo Yin's face.
This is one of the reasons why he is willing to show the naval revolver to these dwarves, and Irene said in the phone call before that these dwarves have very strict mouths, and as long as they promise not to say something, you will kill them, and they will not say it.
Especially swearing by the god of forging, this is the harshest oath for them.
Luo Yin invited everyone to the indoor shooting range in the manor, there are two shooting ranges in the manor, one outdoor and one indoor. Weapons like this that need to be kept secret naturally have to be carried out indoors.
Asking everyone to wait for a while, Luo Yin left for a while, and when he came back, he had a brass-colored navy revolver in his hand.
Seeing this very beautiful gun, which was very different from most muskets, all the dwarves were breathless.
And Waters looked at the nest, and suddenly there was something in his mind, he seemed to understand something.
In front of everyone, Luo Yin picked up the navy revolver and fired six shots at the target.
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The not-so-hurried gunfire petrified the group of dwarves.
"It's really a burst!"
"How the hell did you do that?"
"Seems to have something to do with the round thing in the middle?"
Everyone was talking about it, and Luo Yin didn't have ink, so he demonstrated how to load the bullet.
Of course, because the bullets on the navy's revolver are very slow, Luo Yin put one on as a demonstration, they are all smart people, and they can naturally understand it at a glance.
Then Luo Yin directly handed the brass navy revolver to Waters, and then said:
"Look at it first, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. If you have anything to do, you can call your servants directly."
"Okay! You're busy!"
The dwarves hurriedly said.
Luo Yin left the underground shooting range, and when he left, he faintly heard someone say that he was going to dismantle this revolver or something.
The corners of Luo Yin's mouth twitched, when he handed this gun to the dwarves, he had a premonition of the future of this gun.
But it doesn't matter, Luo Yin has so many guns, not bad for this one.
Ever since he learned that these dwarves could not only make guns, but also design warships, Luo Yin had some ideas about them.
So Luo Yin has to find a way to keep them, not to mention much, just keep one or two people
γ He doesn't need coolies, there are a lot of coolies in Qiongbi City, he only needs people who know how to design and can lead the overall situation.
Outside, Misha was waiting for Luo Yin, and she smiled:
"These dwarf uncles are quite interesting!"
"Let's go back and see if we can keep them, if we can stay, my military industrial complex will be able to officially set sail...... But let's not talk about that yet, I'll show you something good!"
Luo Yin pulled Misha to the room.
"What is this?"
Misha looked at the delicate box and suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"This is a thank you gift from Erin's father, I haven't opened it yet, I don't know what's in it!"
The box is not huge, but it carries a lot of weight. There was a lock on the outside, and Waters had already given him the key, and Luo Yin felt that there should be something good inside.
"Cardβ"
The first thing that catches your eye is the glittering gold, a total of ten pieces, neatly arranged.
Luo Yin asked Misha to weigh it, and weighed it, a piece of gold brick is two kilograms!
How much is two kilograms of gold worth?
According to the price of the kingdom, one kingdom gold coin is equal to 50,000 union coins. And one gold coin is 100 grams, that is, two kilograms of gold is equal to 20 gold coins. That's equal to 1 million coins!
And that's a full ten dollars, that's 10 million coins!
"Cheesy, cheesy!"
Luo Yin unceremoniously asked Misha to keep the gold.
Then it was discovered that there were two documents underneath the gold.
Curiously took a look, Luo Yin and Misha were both stunned.
"It's ......"
The first document said that there was a villa in the territory of the Sky Wolf Empire, which belonged to Luo Yin, and as long as Luo Yin came over, he could change his name immediately.
There was no other information except for an address and house number, and Luo Yin didn't know how big the villa was, nor how much it was worth.
"Good woman cheats!"
Luo Yin suddenly complained, knowing that he couldn't get over it now, but he gave such a thing, what is the difference between sending it and not sending it.
It's better to give him another ten gold bricks.
Another document had a lot of words of thanks written on it, and invited Luo Yin to the Sky Wolf Empire as a guest, saying that he was looking forward to seeing Luo Yin, a young talent, and asked Luo Yin to definitely come here.
There is also a certificate in the middle of the document, with this certificate, Luo Yin will not be blocked from going to the Sky Wolf Empire. If you don't prove it, it's easy to be considered a smuggler.
Looking at this invitation, Luo Yin didn't know what was going on, and always felt that Irene's father had some bad intentions?
Is it a thief's heart?
No, he Luo Yin is upright, and his heart is weak!
"The Sirius Empire won't go, it doesn't matter what the villa is, I don't care about these things!"
Luo Yin asked Misha to put away her things and entertain the dwarves. He himself went to the town hall.
Recently, there have been a lot of things, and he has been holding meetings, and many meetings involve his own interests, so it is not appropriate for him not to go.
In the afternoon, when he returned to Tulip Manor, Misha told him that the dwarves had not come out of the shooting range all this time.
Luo Yin is a little strange, these people shouldn't be asleep inside, right?
He entered the underground shooting range and was stunned when he saw the situation inside.
Directly these dwarves hold pen and paper and draw all kinds of pictures on paper, which is ...... In the design of a new musket?
The appearance of the musket and the navy revolver on the blueprints is very different, but there are some similarities, as if they were inspired by the navy revolver.
"Everyone, it's time for dinner, why don't you eat first?"
Luo Yin said loudly.
The dwarves came to their senses.
Waters came to Luo Yin's side and reluctantly returned the navy revolver to Luo Yin. After all, this is Luo Yin's self-defense, and it is not suitable for them to occupy it all the time.
Waters exclaimed in a tone of exclamation:
"I've never seen a structure
Such a delicate musket, it was really an eye-opener for me! I don't know who the designer of this musket is, I'm not as good as him!"
Where did Luo Yin know who the designer was, he casually found an excuse to get over, and everyone came to the restaurant.
The dwarves looked at each other, and suddenly twisted a little, and they all looked at Waters, and finally Waters spoke:
"Ahem, we haven't had anything to do lately, and we want to stay in Qiongbi City for two more days......
"No problem! Of course, you can stay as long as you want, and I promise you'll be entertained!"
Luo Yin said.
"Ahem, that's right, we still haven't figured out anything about your gun, so I wonder if you can lend us another two days?"
Waters was embarrassed to speak.
He rarely took the initiative to ask people to borrow things, especially since they were not familiar with Luo Yin, which was somewhat presumptuous.
But it can't be helped, this gun is too cleverly designed! Although they watched it for a morning, they felt that there was still great research value, and they were reluctant to give up.
"This ......" Luo Yin's face showed embarrassment, but he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll lend you another day!"
How can it be in one day!
The dwarves complained in their hearts, but they didn't understand human feelings, so it was naturally impossible for them to say it.
"Haha, okay, then thank you Mr. Luo Yin!"
Waters touched his whitebeard and laughed.
He felt that in another day, he should be able to study this gun thoroughly. Although he promised Luo Yin that he would not imitate anything. But knowing these principles, he will be very satisfied spiritually.
Luo Yin smiled and didn't speak.
The next day, Luo Yin handed over the Navy revolver to Waters, and then went to the city hall to clock in and go to work.
There is nothing to do with him at the city hall today, he is purely here to fish.
"My lord, I have learned a new massage technique in the past two days, would you like to give it a try?"
Jody walked up to Luo Yin and asked in a low voice.
"Well, let's try it."
With Luo Yin's permission, Jody came behind Luo Yin with a little excitement.
Natalie has something to do at home, so she took a day off today, and Jody was the only one around. Jody feels that this is a great time, an opportunity to further his relationship with Luo Yin! She must grasp it!
I have to say that Jodi's massage has made great progress, and she is almost catching up with Misha.
"My lord, shall I press your leg again?"
"Okay."
After getting permission, Jody hurriedly moved a small stool over, sat in front of Luo Yin, and then asked Luo Yin to put her legs on her laps.
Luo Yin raised his eyebrows, but he didn't refuse.
Qiao Yin pinched carefully.
I have to say that watching a little beauty seriously press her legs is a double enjoyment both mentally and physically.
After kneading for a while, Jody saw sweat on her forehead, probably a little tired, and she took off her own coat and uniform, revealing the lady's vest she was wearing inside.
Without the restraint of the coat, the white flowers on the side met Luo Yin's eyes.
Gee~
It's good to be young, full of energy.
Luo Yin sighed subconsciously, but he thought about Jody and Natalie again.
It's a pity that these two little beauties are a Lala.
Thinking of this, Luo Yin's curiosity came up. He asked:
"By the way, how did you and Natalie meet?"
"Lord Hui, we met the year before last......
Jody didn't dare to hide it, and Balabala said a bunch of things.
"Hmm......" Luo Yin nodded, and then asked, "Then when did you become in this relationship?" Oh, sorry, I'm just curious, you don't have to say ......."
Jody froze for a moment, and then quickly explained in a bit of a panic:
"My lord, you misunderstood, the two of us are innocent, and we don't have the kind of relationship you think......
"Uh, I said the wrong thing, I didn't see anything the day before yesterday, you don't have to explain."
Unexpectedly, this little girl was quite thin-skinned, Luo Yin looked like I understood, and decided not to ask more.
"Adult ......"
Jody looked loveless, if she was identified by Luo Yin as having that kind of relationship with Natalie, wouldn't she have no chance......
In the afternoon, Luo Yin returned to Tulip Manor.
Seeing that the dwarves were still studying the muskets, Luo Yin ran over to call them for dinner with a blank look.
At the table, several dwarves stopped talking.
Finally, it was Waters who spoke:
"Mr. Luo Yin, we are still a little short of your Navy Revolver research, why don't you lend us another day?"
"Ah, this ......."
The expression on Luo Yin's face was very difficult. However, looking at the expectant and embarrassed looks of these dwarves, he still nodded and said:
"Okay, then I'll lend you another day! But this is really the last day, and I have something to go out tomorrow, so I need it to defend myself......
"No problem!"
The dwarves immediately replied with joy.
Since they promised that they would not copy Luo Yin's gun, they would naturally do what they said. But now that they had proved that the repeating gun was possible, they wanted to know if they could make it.
But after trying to design for a long time, the design drawings of their drawings have always had the shadow of this navy revolver.
How can they, the proud designers, endure this? They don't believe it, they have been inspired by their predecessors, and they can't draw inferences?
So, they studied it for another day to see if they could come up with a repeating gun that was different from the Navy revolver.
Then, another day passed.
In the evening, in the dining room, the dwarves looked at Luo Yin and Waters with blank eyes.
Waters has no face to speak, he has taken the initiative to ask for it a few times, but everyone is not strong, and he has not yet researched the reason, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he is embarrassed at this time.
Luo Yin saw that they didn't take the initiative to mention it, so Luo Yin didn't speak, pretending not to understand anything.
At last, when the supper was almost finished, one of the dwarves spoke:
"Ahem, Mr. Luo Yin, we came in a hurry this time, we didn't bring you some greeting gifts or anything, and I'm sorry to bother you for so many days. So if you don't mind, I'll help you rebuild a car, I don't think your steam cars are very good......
"Yes, yes, let's go and renovate, it is estimated that it will take more than ten days!"
The other dwarves chimed in.
Waters was a little helpless, but didn't stop it.
Anyway, they don't have much to do, so instead of leaving now, they might as well think of a reason to stay here. As long as you can stay here, then even if you don't grab it tomorrow, there will still be a chance in the future.
Of course, Luo Yin knew what their idea was, and he didn't expose it.
"Well, I've been unhappy with the speed of these steam cars for a long time! If you can help me improve, I'd appreciate it!"
Hearing Luo Yin say this, all the dwarves breathed a sigh of relief. All of them were very happy, and they felt that if they were given two more days, they would definitely be able to develop a new repeating firearm!
The next day, they found out that they were rejoicing too soon.
Luo Yin suddenly said that because something happened to the new company, he would not go home for the time being, and let Luke take care of these dwarves.
Waters and they were dumbfounded, because the navy revolver was still on Luo Yin!
The reason why they stayed at Tulip Manor and didn't want to leave was not to enjoy here, but to study the Navy Revolver!
What's the point of them staying here if they don't have guns......
The dwarves were sad, but they didn't break their promise to Luo Yin. took the initiative to help Luo Yin transform the steam car.
β¦β¦
August 1st.
Today, the United Kingdom of Stokato officially announced its policy of opening up to the outside world. For foreign companies, joint ventures
Division, etc., to give great preferential support.
As soon as the news was announced, except for those who got the news so early, other small local companies all wailed that their end might be coming.
The introduction of foreign capital, that must be the introduction of excellent foreign capital, once this excellent foreign capital comes in, what will it bring to the kingdom, they don't know, but they know that their small company will definitely be affected......
For these small businesses that are panicked, the top management of the kingdom does not pay so much attention. In every reform, there are those who gain benefits and those who lose them. It's inevitable, and there's not much they can do.
Now the economy of the kingdom is really not good, and the two surrounding countries are eyeing each other, and if they don't reform, they will be in trouble in the future.
City Hall of Jombhi.
Today's city hall is particularly lively, and many business leaders have come to consult questions, and some want to change the registered place of the enterprise and change the company to a foreign country.
Naturally, the staff will answer all the questions asked. But for these who want to be opportunistic, it must be a direct rejection.
The place of registration can be changed, but the place of registration of a domestic company can only be changed in China, not out.
Therefore, if you want to become a foreign company, you must either have a joint venture with a foreign company or be fully acquired. Or you find a foreigner, register a wholly foreign-owned company abroad, and then settle in Qiongbi City.
But either way, it's now very scrupulous. That kind of fake foreign capital is not good, and the consequences of being found are very serious. You can't even get past the review stage.
And it doesn't mean that any small foreign company can get benefits when it comes to Qiongbi City, it has to be a powerful company.
Forget about those leather bag companies that cheat on benefits and subsidies, if this kind of is found out, they will go to jail directly.
In the face of such a strict policy, those who want to be opportunistic have no choice but to see if they will be favored by excellent foreign capital, and then set up a joint venture or something. But this is obviously thinking too much, even if foreign capital wants to enter Qiongbi City, it must be cooperation with large enterprises, and small companies can only stand aside.
For example, on the day the policy was issued, they received many excellent foreign investment cooperation applications.
Some want to invest in Jumian, some want to open another company with Jumian, and some want to cooperate with Jumian in business, etc.
Obviously, these foreign companies have also been getting the news for a long time and are waiting for this day.
Faced with these things, such as wanting to invest in the giant cotton company, Puran refuses them all. Jumian Company is not short of money now, there is no need to introduce new capital, even if it sells money, it can just sell stocks directly.
As for cooperation or something, Puran asked them to have time to talk about it.
That Prince Jim seems to have been mixed up with the Phantom Textile Company, so the business expansion of the Giant Cotton Company in China is not smooth.
Although he still makes money, he feels that he can make more. So it would be great if we could cooperate with these foreign companies and expand the market to their countries.
In addition to the Jumian Company, the tulip sugar industry has also been found by many foreign capitals, but to the surprise of these foreign capitalists, the tulip sugar industry is also foreign!
Of course, whether foreign capital is foreign or not, it does not affect the cooperation between the two parties, and Bart has signed several contracts of intent.
This made Bart feel a little emotional, because of Prince Jim, the tulip industry, which was a little frustrated in China, found a new way outside.
In response to Prince Jim's blockade, Luo Yin did not let them fight back, but let them drag.
Because Luo Yin knows very well that although Jim is a prince, it is not what it used to be, the prince does not have so much power, and he wants to prevent the expansion of Luo Yin's company's business, in addition to his own identity, they will definitely have to spend money.
This is a bit like when Lunn blocked the sugar cane in Qiongbi City, others may give you face in the short term, but it will definitely not work after a long time, you will have to pay some price.
Luo Yin's industry is now profitable except for Bauhinia Bank, and he is in no hurry to expand at all, so he doesn't need to deal with Prince Jim. whereas
And with the current reputation of the Giant Cotton Company and the Tulip Candy Industry, he can wait for people from other cities to take the initiative to come to him for cooperation. He feels that this kind of opportunity to make money, some people may be afraid of the identity of the prince, but some people may not be.
After the kingdom's policy was issued, the policy of Qiongbi City was also issued.
Luo Yin can also use the benefits he has sought for himself before, he has calculated carefully, starting from today, August 1st, his tulip candy industry will save him 80% of the tax every month!
Originally, he had to pay 40% of the profit tax, but now he only pays 8% of the profit!
Because Tulip Enterprise is wholly foreign-owned, coupled with some of his tailor-made policies, the discount is relatively large.
Jumian is a joint venture of foreign enterprises, not so high, but not low, saving 50% of the tax every month, that is, now only need to pay 20% of the profit tax.
