Viscount Norris snorted heavily, raised the copper wine glass in his hand and slammed it on the table, stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Ariel across the long table, and shouted loudly——

"Ariel Garcia! Don't think that because you are the second prince's mistress, I don't dare to touch you! No matter how much the second prince supports you, he can't put his hands on the territory of us lords!"

"With just one operation of your Mermaid Song, the people in my Lagoon City are now starving of food and clothing, and barely even have a bite to eat! This is ridiculous, last year it was clear that

A good harvest! But now they have no food to eat? You still say this is not your fault!"

Faced with Viscount Norris's now aggressive accusation, Brad, who was standing next to Ariel, took the same step forward and showed his full desire to protect her.

Norris couldn't help but feel a little afraid of this shield warrior who became obviously stronger than the last time he met each other, and unconsciously shrank his neck.

Ariel stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, asking Brad next to him not to look too excited. She crossed her fingers and said slowly: "Mr. Norris, I really didn't cause any trouble. If you don't believe it, please ask

The Chamber of Commerce representative next to you. I believe this Chamber of Commerce representative from Lagoon City will tell you that our Mermaid Song has not done anything strange."

Ariel pointed her finger at a short and capable-looking old man sitting on the other side of the long table. The old man opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Norris next to him, and then looked at Ariel over there. After a moment of silence,

Said——

"Your Excellency Viscount, I think there may be some misunderstandings between us. Although we are businessmen in Laohu City, businessmen are all profit-seeking. Naturally, we will not let go of things that make money. But I do think that President Ariel

There's something about it that's not authentic enough."

Ariel glanced at the Chamber of Commerce representative, and after a moment of silence, she said, "What do you mean?"

The capable old man smiled and said: "Our lord of Lagoon City, His Excellency Viscount Norris Paxus, has been in our capital for almost the past six months, organizing various things. In addition to the wedding of His Royal Highness the Second Prince,

Outside...hehe, I believe you should also know that there is even more exciting news coming out, right?"

Viscount Rich took a sip of wine: "More exciting news? What news? I also know about the birth of the little prince. If it weren't for being able to come back to preside over Pelican City as soon as possible, I would also hope to spend more time in Hanhai City.

Later."

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce chuckled, shook his head slowly, and said mysteriously: "No. But... the second imperial concubine already has one!"

Upon hearing the news, Viscount Rich's originally calm expression immediately turned into panic! Just three seconds later, the fat man immediately started holding his head and crying!

"What did I miss? Oh my God, what did I miss?! His Royal Highness's prince was born! And then the second princess became pregnant?! How many business opportunities did I miss!!!"

The Chamber of Commerce representative seemed very calm about Rich's current yelling and screaming. However, he rolled his eyes at Ariel's calmness, and then looked at Viscount Norris next to him.

Viscount Norris snorted and said slowly: "It seems that President Ariel has known about it for a long time, right? But that's right. You are the second prince's mistress after all, so it's not surprising to know such a thing."

"Because of these things, I stayed in the capital for a long time. But when I came back, I saw that my Lagoon City was in chaos. After asking carefully, you Mermaid Song came over to conduct a large number of sales and purchases.

How much money did you make from Lagoon City during this period? You have to know that all of this money should have been mine! And you, Baron Ariel Garcia, you did it without my consent

, I plundered all the gold coins from my people’s pockets and put them into your pocket! Isn’t this none of your business?!”

Ariel breathed out, and now she could only nod slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, no matter what I say, it's useless? But I also heard that what Mr. Norris really cares about is not me.

How much money did you make, right? Tell me, what are your requirements?"

At this point, the anger on Norris's face gradually turned into a smile. He nodded and said: "President Ariel, I know you have many money-making ideas in your mind. And this buying and selling big deal

As for the way to make a fortune, to be honest, I’m quite interested in it too.”

Hearing this, Ariel's face changed and her smile began to fade away.

"So I want to know, can you tell me this method? And then tell me, how do you operate it to make so much money in one go? You know, the Border Province is such a large area. Instead of letting us

These people consume each other internally, why not join forces and go to other provinces and cities to make money together, right?"

Although Ariel has always been wary of this Norris, what he said does make sense.

If you have money, of course you have to continue making money. If you are always entrenched in the border provinces, you won't have any big development until you die.

But the problem is... the development area that Menglang promised him in the first place only stayed in the border province...

The smile on Norris's face was strong. He hooked his fingers, and the servant beside him immediately brought up a map and opened it on the table.

He pointed to the border province and said cheerfully: "Next to our border province are Tianhong Province and Diliao Province. Although these two provinces are not as good as those important economic provinces, they are comparable to

Our small border province is really rich and rich."

"There are a total of twelve cities in these two provinces, and there are countless small towns and villages! President Ariel, please teach me your method of making a lot of money in one go.

After making money, I will definitely give you dividends!"

Looking at the two neighboring provinces on the map, which were several times larger than the border province, even Viscount Rich next to him couldn't help but be moved. He looked at which provinces it was, as if he was looking at sweet cakes placed on his side.

In front of you, you only need to stretch out your hand, cut off a piece and put it in your mouth.

"Um... President Ariel, I also think that if you have such a good method, you might as well teach it to us." Viscount Rich said with a smile, "Look, aren't you here to make money? We

Everyone is here to make money, and as long as we can make enough money, we will not miss out on the benefits for you, right?"

It would be a lie to say that I am not tempted by outside money.

Sometimes Ariel would even feel very anxious when looking at the gold coins in her safe.

So much money is hidden in my hands and cannot be spent. It is just piles of round pieces that emit golden light.

You must know that the value of currency lies in exchange. If a currency completely leaves the market, does not enter circulation, and does not trade with other goods, then the currency is nothing even if it stays in its own safe.

You have to spend money before you can earn more money!

Only after you continue to make money and make yourself richer than even the royal family of the Blue Bay Empire!

Then everything will become different.

For this reason, one's own wealth must expand...and expand more rapidly! It is absolutely impossible to rely solely on this small border province.

Thinking of this, Ariel frowned involuntarily.

After a moment of silence... or in other words, a moment of duel with her own conscience, she finally decided to stand on the side of her useless conscience for the time being and said——

"With that method, it's okay to just do it in the border provinces, but if we want to go out to other provinces and cities to make money in provinces like Tianhong Province or Diliao Province, then the amount of funds we have on hand is definitely not enough.

What's more... I don't want to use this method every time, it's a bit too harmful."

Richie was a little curious and asked: "What's so harmful? What could be so harmful about us going to make money?"

Ariel breathed out, and then she explained the concept of dumping as briefly as possible.

The representative of the Chamber of Commerce understood it immediately, and then showed an expression of appreciation. The two Viscounts Norris and Rich next to him understood it too late. After a few tweaks, they immediately seemed to have discovered a new world.

They opened their mouths and looked at each other! I'm afraid they didn't realize until now that there are such easy ways to make money in this world.

"But these methods are not suitable for other provinces. Because we don't have that much money and we don't have that much goods. Tianhong Province and Diliao Province have much richer materials than we do, and there are many cities and villages, and they are very different from each other.

It is easy to circulate, and it can only be said to be a dream to rely on this method to harvest their wealth."

After Ariel finished speaking, she took a sip of water on the table, leaned on the chair holding the water glass, and stopped talking.

Although she was just telling the truth, speaking from the side of conscience does feel good~~~

Later, after falling into a brief silence, Viscount Rich suddenly said: "The supplies are not enough... Then President Ariel, if we have sufficient supplies, is it okay? In this case, your textile

Can't the factory make a large amount of clothes? If you tell me the manufacturing method of the textile factory, we will also use the funds on hand to open the textile factory, and the production department will have more, more, and more materials! Isn't that enough?

?"

When it comes to profitable business, Viscount Rich seems to react faster than Viscount Norris over there.

Viscount Norris also looked lucid now, nodding his head repeatedly and saying: "That's right! President Ariel, tell us quickly, how did that textile factory be made? That machine! That looks like

It’s a very powerful machine! We can use it together!”

Facing these two nobles who were all about money, Ariel would not compromise so easily. She raised her hand, slapped the table hard, and hummed: "For you? You two think too well."

Is that right? The elemental machine is a technology that our Mermaid Song has developed with great difficulty, and it has been guaranteed by the royal family! You two, now you want me to give you the method of making the elemental machine so easily? Let me

You guys went to make money, so what do I make?”

The corner of Norris's mouth twitched involuntarily, and he immediately wanted to retaliate, but when he saw Brad next to Ariel staring closely at him, he had to shrink back the curse that reached his throat.

Viscount Richie thought for a moment, clapped his hands, and said with a look of awakening: "Viscount Norris, this is your fault."

Norris pointed to his nose: "Am I still wrong?"

Viscount Rich nodded vigorously and said: "Of course you are wrong. Do you think it is very simple for the two of us to directly ask President Ariel how to make the element machine? Then the two of us expanded our productivity and the output directly exceeded

President Ariel, you may feel very happy."

"But don't you think about it the other way around? Elemental machines have not been promoted before because those in the Magic Association and the Holy See of Light do not want this kind of thing to be promoted. However, if we also develop elemental machines together

, a large amount of clothes and cloth have been produced, so won’t the efficacy of the element machine be promoted?”

"In this way, can you guarantee that others will not come to cause trouble with us? If there are richer, higher-ranking nobles who want to come and ask for our elemental mechanism production methods, and they can make money by themselves, what do you think?

Should we give it or not give it?”

When Viscount Rich said this, Viscount Norris's anger that was still in his heart suddenly cooled down. He thought for a while, that was true, and then said: "The element machine... is a very complicated process?

?”

Ariel breathed out, feeling that this kind of thing would be easily exposed if she really wanted to lie, so she simply told the truth: "The production of the element machine is not difficult, the difficulty is the design. As long as there are no flaws in the design, then according to

The design drawings make it easy to create a suitable element machine.”

Viscount Rich nodded and said: "In that case... President Ariel, what conditions do you think you have to use before you are willing to give us the design drawing of the element machine?"

Ariel thought for a moment, then made up her mind and said——
To be continued...
