Chapter 479: Unexpected
๏ผ
Lord Lorraine is now also the governor of Fang, and every day there are thousands of people on the side of the state, and they flow out like the water of the Beni River. And his hands were already covered in blood.
But in essence, he is still an excellent young man in a feudal family, and he also has a soul unique to otaku.
For his own shady purposes, he colluded with Leo and set up the venue at great cost.
If so, there is also an otaku from the modern era who crossed over to this venue. He will be surprised to see that the layout of this venue is so familiar, this is clearly a standard game exhibition venue.
The most eye-catching group of people in front of the door are young girls wearing various two-dimensional beauty costumes.
The beautiful short skirt, although the skirt was still not short enough in Lorraine's eyes, but it did show the length of a palm on the knee, showing the healthy snow-white thighs that are unique to girls, full of youthful atmosphere.
The clothes on the upper body are also very short, and the beautiful breasts of the girls are also very prominent, revealing a large piece of snowy jade skin of white flowers, which almost dazzles the eyes of the flower people.
And the design of the clothes is extremely tight, and when it moves slightly, it is a burst of waves, which is simply about to come out, making people worry about whether the clothes will be torn.
Here, of course, except for Lorraine. No one else knows what these clothes mean, and this is a paradise for Lorraine alone.
Catherine and Adele's daughters were very disdainful of these new styles of clothing, and surrounded the girls about the clothes, and kept commenting on the clothes, but their bright eyes completely revealed the thoughts in their hearts, and exchanged opinions with each other in a low voice, presumably discussing how to make those strange clothes more beautiful when they went back.
As a man who traveled with a strong house attribute in his previous life, it is not that Lorraine has only now had a dream come true, in Adele and Catherine's wardrobe, there are still black and gray clothes and pure white nurse clothes, but the technology of this era cannot make black silk, which is a great pity for Lorraine.
As for Shilmephonya, she doesn't need to change her outfit at all, as long as she puts out her red holy robe, and then raises her delicate chin slightly, revealing an awe-inspiring and inviolable saint appearance, and then it belongs to the plot that is not suitable for children, and it is ruthless and violent."
But no matter how much you change your appearance, it's only a minority after all. It's still one step away from the paradise in the heart of an otaku.
Although it was only one step, because the women were in charge, that step was like the step taken by Auntie Strong on the moon. Before he could take this step, he had to go through the big step that would send him from Earth to the Moon.
Now, with a satisfied look and a smile on her lips, Lorraine wandered lazily around the venue as if she were walking in heaven.
As the women who were most familiar with Lorraine, Catherine, Adele, and Hilmelia looked at Lorraine's expression, and knew that the rascal was now a happy fool, and he only needed to hang a trace of saliva on the corner of his mouth and become an idiot.
According to Lorraine's temper, there must be something strange in this, but a few girls really don't understand the significance of these clothes to Lorraine's life, and now they see that Lorraine has not made any hook-ups, so she can only play by herself.
With the sale officially begins.
Amid the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers, the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Shrugging Division slowly opened, and the impatient guests who had been waiting for a long time walked into the venue.
At this time, those who can enter the headquarters of Flying Eagle Company are all big people with invitation letters.
High-ranking officials in Nai'an, famous nobles in the country and their families, business strategy partners of the Flying Eagle Company, rich people who are waiting for land in Nedel City, and so on, to put it bluntly, is the upper class of this era, rich people, and Kaizi who is willing to spend money.
Under the wise leadership of Lord Lorraine, the chairman of the Flying Eagle Company, Mr. Leo, has an extremely accurate grasp of the market.
If you are like an old turtle and do not pull out a hair, even if you are rich in the world, the Flying Eagle Company will send a butt wiping paper for nothing. Even if that paper is a used butt wipe.
Although these magnates in Naian Province are considered to be dirt buns compared to the nobles of Ruman City, they are all masters who have eaten and seen.
They also spend public money every year to travel abroad or something, and the tiger body is shocked, and the mobs in the countryside are scattered, uh, the domineering of successful people.
What brand-name perfumes, what brand handbags, what household tools. BMW Ferrari, red wine and champagne or something, it is also the whole car pulled back, and even the price is not returned. One hundred and eighty thousand gold coins, if you blink an eye, it is no product. I don't have enough qualifications, and I'm embarrassed to say hello when I look back.
But even so, as soon as they entered the door, they were still shocked by the gorgeous decoration in the venue, especially the girls wearing all kinds of beautiful clothes shuttling through the venue.
After all, in this era, there are two kinds of entertainment and entertainment content back and forth, one is the hunting that the nobles are keen on, the other is the flower wine that the men are keen on, and the other is the activities such as balls and banquets.
Turning over and over is what kind of tricks. I drank a drink, danced, flirted, told two obscure yellow jokes and so on.
Then, there was really no talk, everyone was adulterous, adulterous, adulterous or something, looking for excitement.
Where have these dirt buns seen such a scene today?
This kind of exciting scene is put ten years later, this is a sensational entertainment for thousands of otaku.
Everyone looked at it, and they almost didn't stare at a few young and simple people in the mountains. At the point of excitement, the nosebleed sprayed wildly, and the blood sneered outward, spraying more than five meters high.
If it weren't for Lord Lorraine's clear vision and wisdom, he would have expected that this situation might come out, and he specially prepared a witch doctor and a priest, and those young guys would have to die here today due to excessive blood loss.
Men and women in costumes stared at the girls who were walking around the venue like butterflies with different thoughts.
Catherine and Adele like to be quiet, and don't want to be like the hillbillies.
Every time I hear those earthen buns that are outdated, hairless, almost bald-tailed eagle-like feather fans cover the heavily coated lipstick, as if they have just eaten a dead man's big mouth, and then their orchid fingers, and say something delicately: Today, I only sprinkle half a bottle of so-and-so's perfume at a time.
Or, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, what do you think of this designer dress I bought today? It's the latest masterpiece by the Eskimo master Mr. Penguin
The conscience of heaven and earth
Not to mention, the pungent smell of cheap and inferior perfumes bought at a high price. Not to mention that in another million years, there will be no costume design masters on the Eskimo side,
That is, that damn penguin.
Will those duck-like things be in the North Pole?
Therefore, for the sake of their own spirits, they had already left the venue before the official start and stayed in the lounge upstairs, talking about the appearance of the clothes while waiting for the results of the sale.
Lorraine sells bonds to raise money for his own military expenses, and Leo, the president of the Flying Eagle Group, both stay in the venue to meet the guests.
After a vice president of the Flying Eagle Group took the stage and said a few words, the bonds were officially sold.
The sales point is on the side of the venue, there is a long shed, as long as you go inside, pay the money to the staff, and do a good job of registration, you can get bonds, the shed is tightly covered, and people outside will not know the amount of bonds purchased by people inside.
Lorraine and Leo greeted the people in front, one eye fixed on the shed where the bonds were sold.
The people in the venue were all big shots, and there were Lorraine and Leo in the venue, and everyone walked into the shed in turn, and the people who came out asked each other about the amount of money they bought.
Lorraine had been listening to their conversation, and now among these people, the officials were more generous than the nobles, and the rich merchants paid more than the officials.
After a while, a manager of the Flying Eagle Company walked out from the back of the shed, at this time it was the time when the spring flowers were blooming, and the weather was occasionally slightly cool, but the manager trembled and pinched the handkerchief, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
The manager's big head was now smooth and shiny, shining in the sun. Although the manager tried to keep a straight face, Lorraine could see that he was so excited that he couldn't even walk, and he jumped up and down
Seeing the manager coming, Leo asked with concern, "How is it?"
The manager said in a voice: "Back to the president, it's unexpected." โ
Leo's eyes widened, and he said happily, "How good?"
The manager leaned on Leo's ear and said something, Leo's face turned red all of a sudden, he glanced at the manager in disbelief, then hooked his fingers and pulled the collar, and muttered, "It's done!"
Lorraine sneered and said, "Look at your unproductive appearance, this is how much is this." โ
Leo looked at Lorraine and snorted, pulled Lorraine's arm to pull Lorraine down, and whispered, "It's been sold for three million." โ
"Uh" Lorraine took a breath, looked at the laughing crowd in disbelief, and said secretly in his heart: one-third of the share, that's enough.
After the official end of the sale event, the amount was almost 3.5 million gold coins, and after knowing this number, Catherine and Adele, who had been guarding the lounge, were also relieved.
Catherine knocked her palm and said with a smile: "According to this shape, after the sale of Constantine and Ruman City is over, such a large amount of military expenses will almost be gathered." โ
Lorraine forgot to get on a chair without an image, pulled Vera to rub her shoulders, and said, "I've been staring at it for a long time, I'm tired to death." In about a month and a half, the legions will be able to assemble, and the logistics people, three or four hundred thousand people are waiting to eat and drink, if we can't come up with the money by then, we will die, Wei Hao, fortunately, a good start. โ
The money and the legion were settled, and the stone that weighed on the hearts of the Lorraine family was blown away at once, and thinking about the recent effort to form the legion and sell war bonds, Catherine and Adele stretched out in unison.
Adele patted her mouth and yawned, and said, "I'm tired to death, before the war, I have to rest for a few days." โ
After saying that, the pair of watery phoenix eyes fell on Lorraine's body, Lorraine was flirting with Adele, Leo kicked the door open, and walked in with a complicated expression.
Catherine looked at Leo's scratching of her ears and cheeks, and said curiously, "What's wrong?"
Leo rubbed his chin and said: "The statistics are out, among them, the most bought are merchants, with a single transaction of 120,000, and the highest single person bought 50,000." Then there are those who come from other places to buy land, and locals make up the smallest share
"Merchant?" Lorraine and Catherine looked at each other, both a little strange, supposedly. At a time when merchants were not very interested in land, and liquidity was important to them, it was hard to imagine that they would shell out a lot of cash to buy war bonds.
Leo said: "I asked Belรฉn to check it out, and he got a message from a businessman, and he actually said that he wanted to sell this bond tip for a good price.
Lorraine was stunned, then slapped his thigh and said, "I've met a speculator." โ
Catherine said suspiciously, "Speculators, you mean speculators." โ
Lorraine nodded and said, "These people probably want to stock up on these bonds and sell them to those who need them at a higher price." "It's only a 5 percent interest rate, so will anyone buy it? It's hard to make money no matter how you calculate it." Adele said confusedly.
Lorraine shook her head and said, "Not so. There are not many people who can enter the market today, and there are still many people in Nedel City who want to buy land, waiting for these bonds, these people are the objects of their wealth.
Even if they only increase the price by 5 percent, the person who buys the bond is not a loss, you think about it, as soon as you sell it, there will be a profit of 5 percent, and even if you can't sell, you can't lose money, this kind of profitable business, these shrewd businessmen can let go. If there are more people who need it, they can sell it at a higher price. โ
Leo thought for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "How do I feel that I am being taken advantage of?"
Lorraine smiled: "Be content, if it weren't for them, we would have sold more than a million at most, but this is better." We can set our expectations a little higher. Anyway, if there are more lice, it is not itchy, and if there are more debts, there is no essential difference between owing 10 million and owing 15 million. โ
Catherine thought for a moment with a frown. But he always felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "This is inappropriate." โ
Lorraine shook his head and said, "We are only responsible for sales and the recovery of the interest rate of five percent, as for how the intermediate links change hands, it has nothing to do with us." โ
There are a lot of jumping off buildings for stock speculation, but who can say that this is a stock problem.
"Besides, this time, we will have to pay more than 2 million, and the interest rate on the bond is only 500,000," Lorraine sighed and said, "We still have to purchase a lot of food, cloth and steel, and it is always good to have more money on hand." Still
Lorraine said with a smile: "This money is going to be earned by others, and we are not reconciled, so it is better to let our own people earn it."
Catherine laughed: "You are the situation"
"Your father and uncle. โ
The vigorous ceremony of the sale in Nedel City became a legend, especially the decoration of the sales hall, which was praised by the participants as a fairyland, and since then the parade of floats and the procession of young girls dressed in beautiful costumes have replaced the attendants and servants as the standard procedure for various celebrations in the city.
Under the deliberate promotion of Lorraine and Leo, the grand celebration of that day flew to the entire empire, especially in the cities of Justin and Jouman, which were about to be officially sold, and caused a huge sensation, and the people in the two cities waited with their heads and noses to see what kind of huge surprise the Flying Eagle Group would bring them.
At the same time as bringing the news to the city of Ruman, a special express letter written by Leo was also delivered to the hands of Emperor Julunde, although the words on the letter were the same as a dog's crawl, but to receive Leo's letter, Emperor Julunde was still very happy, but after reading the content of the letter, Emperor Julund became crying and laughing.
After thinking about it for a long time, Emperor Julund called Leander, the deputy governor of the court, to him.
After showing the letter in his hand to Leander, and seeing the deputy governor of Leander, who also became crying and laughing, Emperor Jourend asked, "Leander, is this feasible?"
Leander thought for a moment, and the first thing that came to mind was the letter that his son had written back from Ney'an.
Catherine privately gave Leander 10,000 acres of land, and Leander took it with great gratitude, and then sent his most son to take care of it, and in the letter he wrote back, he really boasted that the land was boundless, the land was fertile, the water and grass were abundant, and it was close to the land under Catherine's name, and even recruited labor to reclaim the land, which was done by Lorraine.
Then Deputy Chief Lyander said simply: "Your Majesty, since it is a letter written by His Royal Highness Leo, it must be feasible." โ
Emperor Zhulund was visibly stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
Leander continued: "Your Majesty, although I know that you are not short of money, but after all, this is a piece of Grandpa's heart. โ
Emperor Ru Liande smiled bitterly in his heart, Leander is saying good things, in fact, Leander is very clear about the finances of the imperial family, and the emperor is not only short of money now, but also very short of money.
Last time I bought land for my mistresses. It was completely handled by Leander, for which Emperor Jolund paid more than 200,000 yuan for his private money, and spent a lot of money on gifts for his mistresses in the New Year
Like this, he only went in and couldn't get out, and Emperor Jolunde's wallet was also empty, and the point was that although the palace had money financially, it couldn't be spent on his mistress.
According to what Leo said, if the operation is good, this sum of money is enough for tens of thousands, which is enough for the emperor to solve his urgent needs.
Emperor Zhulunde has long been willing in his heart, but he is a good face and does not want to have a reputation for greedy money.
Emperor Zhulunde said: "That's it, since it's Leo's intention, then let's do it, the guy is so enthusiastic, we can't let him down, Leander, you see who is more appropriate." โ
Leander suppressed the smile in his heart and said, "Your Majesty, although the old minister really wants to come forward. But as soon as I came forward, I inevitably embarrassed His Majesty. โ
If Leander came forward, everyone knew that this was Emperor Julunde pulling money, and Emperor Julunde, who had a good face, was unwilling to do this.
Leander smiled slyly and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's just right to let Lord Xiang do it." โ
Emperor Zhulund slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, let Russell carry this black cauldron, ah no, come and fry this bond." โ
