Chapter 248: Duel, Poseidon Dagger, King Dead
Long.
Luo Yin tidied up his clothes, and then suddenly said:
"Who's out there just now, Pete?"
Grace, who was kneeling on the ground, stiffened.
Luo Yin knew that this woman was not at ease, and actually used him.
"I'm sorry master, but、I really hate him, and I want to take revenge on him......
Grace lowered her head, a hint of hatred in her eyes.
"Forget it this time, if you dare to have a ...... next time."
Luo Yin gently stroked Grace's face, and then slowly moved to her neck.
Grace's body trembled slightly.
"Stay here honestly, I'll go first."
Luo Yin got into the steam car and left here.
Shortly after he left, Count Pete appeared out of the grass, and he looked at the steam cart with red eyes, and then at the small building.
In the end, he drove away in a steam car.
……
"Invitations?"
Looking at the invitation card in his hand, Luo Yin was a little surprised.
The invitation was sent by Earl Pete.
said that he wanted to invite Luo Yin to a meal, and there may have been some misunderstandings between the two, and he wanted to solve these misunderstandings.
This is the Hongmen Banquet, and Luo Yin doesn't want to go.
But the invitation also said that other people were invited, all of whom were big names and surnames.
Of course, these are not important, the important thing is that he wants to make a bet with Luo Yin in front of everyone. If he loses, he will give all his property to Luo Yin!
As for him winning and wanting something from Luo Yin, he didn't say.
Luo Yin admits that he is curious about the bet. Luo Yin asked some others again, and indeed someone received Pete's invitation and was ready to go.
Then Luo Yin was relieved.
That night, Luo Yin drove to Count Pete's villa with four police guards.
Pete has several properties, and even a large estate in the suburbs. But he doesn't like secluded and quiet places, he likes to be lively.
So this villa in the center of the city is where he often lives.
Luo Yin is the first time to come to this place, I have to say that Pete's aesthetic is okay, this villa looks more modern, it is the type Luo Yin likes.
Entering with an invitation, Luo Yin came a little late, and most of the people arrived.
Seeing Luo Yin's arrival, many people stepped forward to greet him.
Luo Yin also responded with a smile.
At this time, Count Pete finally walked out.
Everyone looked at him, not knowing what Count Pete meant by today's banquet.
And it's about banquets, but now it's not about food, and there's not even a drink. It's not hospitality, is it?
Pete didn't see the dissatisfaction in everyone's eyes, or didn't care if he saw it. He came directly to Luo Yin and said with a smile:
"Mr. Luo Yin, I want to make a bet with you, I don't know if you want to?"
Luo Yin likes this kind of straight to the point, and he asked suspiciously:
"What bet?"
The others also looked at Pete with puzzled expressions. I don't know what the hell this Pete is up to.
Pete looked around, then said loudly:
"I have some small conflicts with Mr. Luo Yin, so I want to solve it in an aristocratic way, I don't know if Mr. Luo Yin is willing?"
Everyone looked at Pete a little strangely, the aristocratic way to solve? Is it a duel?
Some people frowned, they probably knew what this so-called contradiction was, it should be the Green Tree Winery at that time, right?
Luo Yin was a little puzzled, didn't he say betting, the way of the nobles? He hadn't heard of it. After all, he had not been awarded the title of viscount by the king for a long time, and he did not know much about it.
Seeing that Luo Yin was a little puzzled, someone hurriedly came to Luo Yin's side and explained:
"The aristocracy's solution generally refers to dueling ......."
Luo Yin: "......"
What age is it now, and there is such a thing as a duel?
"I'm sorry, I don't agree."
Luo Yin directly refused.
Just kidding, what is his identity and what is the identity of the other party?
Let yourself be torn apart by the billionaire and the people?
Although this Pete is a weak chicken at first glance, Luo Yin doesn't need to let himself take risks.
Seeing Luo Yin refuse so simply, Pete was a little stuck.
He is also an old nobleman, and he knows a lot about the behavior between nobles. He knew that the nobles were very good-looking, and their mouths were very hard. If someone is invited to a duel, even if you don't want to, you will find some nice excuses. How could it be so bluntly refused......
But accidents are accidents, and Pete didn't give up.
He continued:
"If I lose, I'll give you all my possessions."
Wow –
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Although Count Pete has not been doing very well recently, and the company has gone out of business, after all, he still has a certain background. Not to mention his wealth, there must be tens of millions. How did you send it out?
Luo Yin raised his eyebrows, this was the same thing he said in the invitation.
At this time, someone asked curiously.
"Then if Mr. Luo Yin agrees to fight you in a duel, but unfortunately loses, what do you want from Mr. Luo Yin, money? Industry?"
Everyone also looked at Pete.
Pete suddenly wanted to duel, he must have taken a fancy to something about Luo Yin, and he couldn't get it.
As for saying that he took a fancy to Luo Yin's entire net worth...... Luo Yin is not a fool, if they all use the value of the other party to gamble, it will definitely be unfair to Luo Yin. Luo Yin would definitely not agree.
Luo Yin also looked at Pete with interest.
Pete didn't answer everyone, but came to Luo Yin's side, gritted his teeth and said softly:
"If I win, I want you to give Grace back!"
It's not that he loves Grace much, he just wants to torture this shameless slut! He couldn't help Luo Yin, so he could only punish this woman first.
Luo Yin: "......"
No, this Count Pete has misunderstood something. What does it mean to return it to him, this is obviously Grace's initiative!
Of course, Luo Yin didn't say this, but asked:
"What's the duel?"
"Swordsmanship!"
Pete's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said.
He felt that Luo Yin was tempted. Pete beckoned, and several people came with two pairs of light armor and two knightly swords.
"Mr. Luo Yin can pick first."
Pete didn't ask Luo Yin if he wanted a duel, he directly asked Luo Yin to choose.
If it's just swordsmanship, Luo Yin thinks it's okay to give it a try. Winning or losing doesn't matter to him anyway.
And most importantly, although he doesn't know much swordsmanship, he has a lot of strength, really a lot.
"What about the rules?"
Luo Yin asked.
"The point is up, and the knockdown is a loss. The rules of the nobles' duels are basically like this!"
Someone shouted.
It's obviously hilarious, and it's exciting to think about watching a knightly duel between an earl and a billionaire!
Luo Yin didn't speak, but looked at Pete.
Since it was Pete who made the duel, the rules must be said by Pete himself, otherwise what will happen if he pays off later.
Pete's face is a little unpleasant, he doesn't want to repay the debt, but the rule he originally prepared is to take the initiative to admit defeat before losing!
No one knows that he has actually learned swordsmanship since he was very young, and he is also very talented in this area, from childhood to adulthood, no one in his age can take his three moves!
Don't look at Luo Yin younger than him, but Luo Yin will definitely not be able to beat him!
His original plan was that he wanted to give Luo Yin no chance to surrender, if he could kill Luo Yin in a duel,
That's even better! Even if it's a hard beating.
But others shouted out that falling to the ground was considered a loss, and if he said his own rules at this time, it would obviously be inappropriate.
In case Luo Yin is instigated, then he will prepare in vain.
"Point to point, knock down and lose!"
Pete spoke.
Luo Yin could feel that Pete was a little unhappy, and he looked at the other party with a smile and said:
"Okay."
Seeing that Luo Yin agreed, Pete finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He prepared the deed, in duplicate, and both signed their names.
Then the two put on light armor with the help of others, and everyone vacated the venue and handed the space to Luo Yin and Pete.
Pete looked at the man in front of him, his face calm, but his eyes lit up with anger.
Since discovering Grace's illicit relationship with Luo Yin, Pete is angry and helpless at the same time.
Because he knew that with his current ability, there was no way to do anything to Luo Yin.
It might have been possible for him to risk his life, but he was an earl after all, and he couldn't give up everything for Grace.
So he came up with such a method - a duel.
The premise is that Luo Yin will agree.
Now seeing that Luo Yin finally agreed, he clenched the long sword in his hand.
Not only does he want to take back his Grace, but he also wants to teach Luo Yin a hard lesson! Looking at Luo Yin's casual sword posture, Pete affirmed that Luo Yin was a novice! Then don't blame him for being rude!
Pete rushed forward with his sword!
Luo Yin watched the other party rush over, and he pinched the fluttering long sword in his hand. Then he aimed at the opportunity and slashed out with a sword.
"Bang!"
The two sides made contact, and then everyone saw one of them take off directly.
Like a cannonball, it flew straight back, and then only heard a bang.
The man slammed into the wall.
Only then did everyone see that this person was Count Pete.
Luo Yin looked at the long sword that already had a gap, and stuck it on the ground casually.
The hard marble floor was pierced by a long sword like a piece of tofu.
Everyone looked at Count Pete, who was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and suddenly opened his mouth wide.
What's the situation, they're not ready, and that's the end of it?
Someone hurried to pick up Count Pete.
I saw Count Pete shake his head a little dizzy, and then he didn't care about the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Luo Yin with an incredible face.
How can it be!
He's a human being, how can he have so much power! This power is even more terrifying than that of orcs!
I knew that the other party was born with divine power, and he wouldn't duel if he was killed!
In the face of absolute power, his skills seemed so bells and whistles.
"Is Count Pete alright?"
Luo Yin asked with concern.
Pete didn't speak, and the person next to him checked Pete's physical condition, and then spoke:
"It's not a big deal, just rest for a few days."
"That's good." Luo Yin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Then why don't you hurry up and help Count Pete to leave quickly, otherwise the blood will stain my floor." By the way, thank you Count Pete for your kindness,"
Pete: "......"
He regretted it.
But this was witnessed by everyone, and the contract was signed. He couldn't regret it.
Pete is unwilling, he doesn't have a wife, how can he still lose all his family business!
Everyone watched Pete be helped out in despair, and immediately looked at each other.
The main thing is that it's too fast, and everyone hasn't reacted yet.
Pete walked to the door of the hall, he glanced back at Luo Yin, who was laughing with everyone, and then looked at the bodyguard who didn't know who it was at the door.
He was ruthless, pretending to stumble, and pounced on one of the bodyguards, and then the other party was not
When he reacted, he immediately pulled out the short-barreled musket on the opponent's waist and aimed it at the crowd.
Bang!
Pete stared in disbelief at the bloody hole in his chest, and then slowly collapsed.
The screams of the crowd rang out.
Luo Yin looked at the young human male policeman next to him with some surprise, he was one of the guests present.
This gun was not fired by Luo Yin, but by this policeman.
Luo Yin had already taken out the gun, but he didn't shoot immediately after he saw that Pete was panicked and the muzzle of the gun was not aimed at him.
But the policeman next to him reacted quickly, although he was a little slower than Luo Yin, he immediately pulled out his gun and shot.
And the head is also very good, hitting Pete directly in the chest.
Dominic was relieved to see that he had hit Count Pete, and then he instantly became nervous again.
This is Count Pete! Even if he loses everything, he still has the status of an earl, which only the royal family can take away.
Looking at Count Pete like this, it is obvious that he can't survive. If he is charged with murder, he will go to jail 100%!
Although he didn't have any problems firing this shot, everyone in the audience had to thank him. But thanks to thanks, if the earl really died, then he, a powerless little policeman, would most likely be dragged to blame.
The death of the nobles, the kingdom must have to give an explanation......
This gave Dominic's body some chills.
After the guests screamed and dodged, they saw Count Pete lying in a pool of blood, and everyone dared to show their heads.
They all looked at Dominic with gratitude, but that's all, no one dared to come up and speak.
Even his colleagues silently moved a few steps away from Dominic.
Dominic regretted it, he regretted aiming at Pete's chest, the ...... of the aiming hand
Just when Dominic was a little desperate, someone next to him suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Well done!"
The person who spoke was none other than Luo Yin.
"I ......"
"Don't worry, you were forced to kill Count Pete because you protected me, I can testify. No one will embarrass you."
Luo Yin said with a smile.
Others hastened to speak:
"Yes, you don't have to worry!"
"That's right, you said just to be in self-defense!"
Originally, everyone thought that this young policeman was going to be annoying, but Luo Yin's opening was different. If there is anyone on the scene who can keep him, it is probably only Luo Yin.
Colleagues who had just left also came over silently.
Luo Yin went over to take a look, and Count Pete had more breath out and less air intake, so he obviously couldn't survive.
The banquet naturally dispersed.
Luo Yin didn't stay here either, although this is his industry now, but after all, he just died, and he was somewhat unlucky.
Pete's body was sent away, and Luo Yin was somewhat embarrassed.
Such a big living person was gone in front of him.
However, it is better for the other party to die, because Pete wants to kill Novia, so Luo Yin has a feud with him.
Of course, it is better for the enemy to die.
As for the various properties left by Pete, Luo Yin handed them over to Lucia.
The things that Pete invested in were too miscellaneous, and there was everything, and Luo Yin was too lazy to look at it.
The next day, Lucia found Luo Yin.
Lucia's work efficiency is high, not only counting the various industries left by Pete, but also finding some unexpected gains.
"In that villa, there is a small underground vault, and I finally pried it open with all my might!"
These are three small chests, and one small chest contains gold, which is worth about 10 million. Although it is not much, Luo Yin is not too little.
The second box is cash, real estate deeds or something, more than 3 million in cash, plus about 30 million in real estate deeds.
In the third box, it is contained
Wearing two daggers inlaid with precious stones, the shape is exquisite, the appearance is beautiful, and the iron is sharpened like clay, and I don't know what material it is made of. There is also a piece of parchment in the box, saying that this is the Poseidon dagger, and it can be blessed by the Poseidon or something, just look at this kind of words, Luo Yin naturally doesn't believe it.
After all, although it is useless, it is still good as a collection, and Luo Yin happily accepted it.
After reading these things, Luo Yin was somewhat contemptuous, he didn't expect this Count Pete to be so poor.
Also an earl, Novia was much richer than him. Although Luo Yin doesn't know how much money Novia has, there must be hundreds of millions.
But no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat, some real estate or something, let Lucia look at it.
Luo Yin went to talk to the Nujiang City Hall about the railway.
He only said it in the phone call before, and there are still some details that need to be discussed.
After coming to the city hall, they naturally received a warm reception, and they said that the matter of Count Pete had been dealt with, and anyway, with Luo Yin coming forward, everything was not a problem.
Then we talked about railways and trains, and they were quite interested in it.
However, when Luo Yin introduced the train and railway in detail, saying that it would take one or two hours to get from Nujiang City to Qiongbi City, everyone was a little incredulous. Then one by one, their faces were excited.
If Luo Yin really said it like this, it will have a huge effect on the economic promotion of both cities!
If nothing else, let's just say that if you transport the seafood caught in Nujiang City to Qiongbi City, you can make a lot of money! In an hour or two, if you do a good job of freezing, it will still be fresh when it is transported to Qiongbi City!
There are many other things besides seafood. After all, Nujiang City is close to the sea, and many things from overseas can be sold at a high price in the mainland.
Therefore, if this railway is built, it will be a very good thing for the entire Nujiang City.
Not to mention these officials, this is a great achievement!
Therefore, these people promised that they would definitely give Luo Yin the most preferential policies and the best service.
They even said that if Luo Yin can build the railway, and he really says it well, then they will help Luo Yin apply for the status of a city councilor in Nujiang City!
Although Luo Yin does not lack political identity now, it is also good if he can get the identity of a city councilor of Nujiang City, after all, Luo Yin values the geographical location of Nujiang City very much, and Luo Yin will naturally not be polite if he gives it for nothing.
……
After returning to Chombi City.
Bart came to find Luo Yin.
After nearly a month of hard work, the domestic sugar market has now won 80% of the domestic sugar market!
Only 20 percent of the country's sugar is not a brand of tulip.
Bart asked Luo Yin about the specific strategy next, whether it was to acquire or suppress.
The remaining 20 percent of the market is impossible not to use, it is nothing more than what method is used.
Luo Yin thought for a moment and said:
"Buy first, we won't cheat them, just buy them at 60% of the market price. If they don't, then don't blame us for being rude."
"Yes!"
Bart was a little excited.
He's been waiting for this day for a long time!
The acquisition process went more smoothly than Luo Yin imagined.
After all, people are not stupid, the current tulip sugar industry is so strong that it wants to monopolize the domestic market, and even the incandescent sugar industry has withdrawn.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still some employees in the factory, it would be difficult for them to run away, otherwise it is estimated that some small companies would have declared bankruptcy directly.
It's already nice to be able to be acquired at a 60% discount.
After successfully taking down these sugar companies, all the domestic cane sugar is monopolized by tulips!
At this time, if the price of sugar is slightly increased, it is estimated that you can make a lot of money in an instant.
But there's no need, Luo Yin doesn't want to make a wave, his goal is sustainable development.
Even Luo Yin is thinking about lowering the price of sugar.
However, the fighting on the South side of the island has not stopped, and the cost of transporting sugar cane from there is much higher than before.
So there is no need to reduce the price for the time being.
Listening to Lunn, the winner is almost decided over there, and when the situation is stable, it is not too late to study the price.
After Tulip Sugar unifies the domestic sugar market, it has to look abroad, overseas.
Luo Yin didn't worry much about this, and it was Bart and Lucia who were in charge.
Overseas is good to say, Nujiang City has waterways in all directions, and the tulip sugar industry has long gone to sea. Even pirates can hear the reputation of white sugar.
And the export of other countries on the mainland is a little more troublesome, after all, the products of the tulip sugar industry are too lethal! Whoever dares to put the tulip sugar industry into the country will be tantamount to the end of the world for other sugar mills!
This is obviously not conducive to the survival of their own brand.
But if you want to turn it away, then so much profit will be gone! The tulip sugar industry's tax, they are also greedy!
For this situation, Luo Yin asked Bart to learn the Dawn steam car and build a factory abroad! With their people, with their raw materials, the sugar produced is then sold to them!
In this way, it will not only benefit the tax revenue, but also drive the local economy.
Even if the country is a little reluctant, the local government is definitely very willing to introduce it. It is completely possible to transfer the contradictions between Tulips and their country to their localities and contradictions with their central government!
The exit of the Dawn steam car was relatively smooth, supervised by Lucia and executed by Jessica. Sales of canned food and beer are also quite strong, especially beer, which has a tendency to dominate the domestic beer industry......
After taking a rough look at the next situation of each company, Luo Yin began to devote himself to the Qiongbi Railway.
But suddenly, a message came from the royal capital, which disrupted Luo Yin's plan-
Your Majesty, you have died!
