Chapter 80 Ready to go
Since she agreed to Miss Carol Stamford to accompany her to the New World, Jing Yu naturally would not go back on her promise.
"Andrew, it seems that I am going to go out for a long trip." Jing Yu said to the butler who had been quietly by his side.
"Yes, sir." Andrew responded calmly.
"So, Andrew, are you willing to accompany me to the New World?" Jing Yu asked. He remembered that Andrew said when he came here a long time ago that Andrew left him because his original owner left Britain and went to the New World, and Andrew was unwilling to follow him. So Jing Yu felt that he hoped that he could accompany him to the New World, and then bring two maids with him. Along the way, he and Carol Stanford also had some care. Moreover, Jing Yu believed in the ability of Andrew's housekeeper, and always felt that it would be much safer with him.
But he wants to ask Butler Andrew's opinion.
"Of course, sir," Andrew agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, Andrew," Jing Yu said thankfully, "I promise we will be back soon when we arrive in the New World. I know you don't want to leave London."
"It's okay, sir, this is what I deserve." Butler Andrew said plainly.
"If you want, you can go to the Lone Star Republic to see Mr. Vincent, and I can bear all your transaction costs." Jing Yu remembered that Andrew mentioned his previous customer, the Vincent family, who had served for decades, seemed to be in the Republic of Texas in the New World, so he suggested.
Andrew seemed a little moved by Jing Yu's proposal, but he immediately rejected Jing Yu's kindness, "Sir, thank you very much for your generosity, but compared to Mr. Vincent, I should be with you more."
Jing Yu felt that he had added trust when he heard his answer, but he did not say it, but nodded at Andrew, "Andrew, I am serious. No matter what, let's prepare to go to the New World."
Just before going to the New World, Jing Yu also needs to notify Archie Harden and Scarlett Symphony.
"Miss Symen, Mr. Archie," Jing Yu left them after breakfast and said to them: "Miss Stanford is going back to the New World, and I will go together. If you don't mind, you can continue to live here."
"You are going to the New World with Carol?" Before Archie could say anything, Scarlett Symon asked.
"Yes, Miss Symen, Miss Stanford hopes to return to the New World. Because it is inconvenient for her to be alone, I will accompany her to go there." Jing Yu explained to her that although Scarlett and Symen are not very old, Jing Yu respects her very much and does not think that she ignores her feelings when she is young, and knows that she is far more mature in her heart than she is.
"Mr. Jing," Stanford Symon asked, "I want to go to the New World with you, too."
"Sorry, Miss Saimen, I'm afraid it won't work." Jing Yu refused.
"Why?"
"Because we are not on vacation, Miss Saimen, I'm afraid we can't take good care of you," he explained.
"Mr. Jing, Archie can take care of me, please," she begged, "I have never left London, I really hope to go out for a walk."
Jing Yu still didn't agree because he didn't know whether he would have a new conflict with Carol Stamford's father this time when he went to the New World, so he didn't want to bring this little girl with him with him with mobility.
Archie Harden seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak. Finally, he pushed the disappointed Scarlett Sygate away.
Since he was about to go to the New World, Jingyu naturally began to prepare for the gifts and tickets.
There are two ways to go to the New World, one is to take a boat to the sea, and the other is to fly over the airship.
However, the time difference between the two is very large. According to the ship mooring company, it takes two weeks. When Jing Yu saw the booklet sent by Andrew, he understood why it was so slow. Because the ship still used an inefficient paddle wheel, that is, there were huge wheels on both sides of the ship, driven by a steam engine, so it took so long to get there.
If you choose an airship, you can reach the New World in three to four days, mainly depending on the direction of the wind.
Of course, ship tickets are cheaper, and the space coin airship is much larger and more comfortable; although the airship is not small, it is not like a cruise ship, with a dedicated heated swimming pool, gym, squash court, hammam, sunbathing deck and other luxurious facilities. Even pet dogs have special kennels.
The facilities on the airship are not like cruise ships. Although the first class cabin has the same huge space, even exclusive bathtubs, special small bars and dance halls, there is no swimming pool or a court, which occupies a huge space.
Considering the differences in time, especially the comfort of the journey, the rich people of this era seem to prefer airships rather than mail ships at sea, so Jing Yu naturally chose airships.
As for the cost, the first class of the mail boat ranges from 120 pounds to 200 pounds, while the first class of the airship is much more expensive, the cheapest one is 130 pounds, the most expensive one is about 500 pounds, and the most expensive one is equivalent to the 10-year income of workers in an ordinary factory in London.
Of course, the price of £500 is not for one person, but for a first-class suite, which is in addition to the owner and has several rooms for servants and entourages.
Jing Yu felt very shocked when he heard this price. For him, it was probably unbearable. Moreover, he and Carol Stamford had to be separated, so the smaller first class of 130 pounds is suitable for them. Even if you book two sets, it is much cheaper than the most expensive first class.
However, at this price, you can enjoy a suite with only one master room and one follower room, and no special living room, etc., but it is enough for Jing Yu.
Jing Yu, who is used to flying on business trips in his own world, already feels very luxurious about such a space. You should know that it is larger than the first class cabin on the plane, almost as close to private jet spaces as Falcons and Gulfstream. So he didn't feel wronged, but felt willing to experience this kind of enjoyment.
As for the departure time, the closest flight was three days later.
