Although the two parties are now about to engage in peace negotiations, no matter how much Almohad and the Ruman Empire promote good neighborliness and peace for generations, the close relationship between comrades and comrades-in-arms between the two countries is like the evergreen giant pine tree on the top of the snow-capped mountains.
, can never break.
In short, the relationship between the two boys who came down from Brokeback Mountain was not as good as theirs.
But in fact, everyone knows that even if you can put a rabbit and a wolf in the same cage, you cannot let an Almohad noble and a Ruman noble live under the same roof.
Due to hundreds of years of accumulated hatred and resentment, they can eat each other raw without even using soy sauce or any other seasonings.
After hearing what Gondolas said, the guard couldn't help but hesitate. Although he was opening the shop for business now, but doing business with the Almohads, the feudal enemies of the empire?
But he couldn't make up his mind as to what kind of attitude his boss would have.
Leo was lying on the second floor window opposite and looked at the expression on his face. He suddenly became furious. He stamped his little foot and shouted sternly: "If you don't sell it to him, I don't have to step on the shitty soles of my shoes and slap you."
You have a good face, but you still dare to come here and cause trouble for me. Brothers, fuck these guys for me, and beat those bastards..."
As soon as he said this with an arrogant look, he felt a big hand reach out and cover his mouth tightly. Then he felt a cloud flying up like a mist, and finally landed heavily on the ground.
On top of a large, soft chair.
Although the chair was soft and comfortable, he still fell and became dizzy.
When he got up with a groan, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to seek revenge, he looked up and realized that the person was Lorraine. He couldn't help being stunned, touched the back of his head, and asked in shock: "You... what are you doing?
What to do?"
Lorraine ignored him and just shook her head slightly at the guard below who was responsible for registration, and then nodded again.
The man immediately understood, smiled and said to Gondolas: "Your Highness, please register first. We will send someone to contact you later."
Gondolas glanced at him in surprise, then laughed and said, "That's fine."
He told the man an address, then briefly chatted for a few words, then turned around and left with the guards.
Lorraine saw that the guard was neither arrogant nor humble, and responded appropriately. She couldn't help but be surprised, and asked Catherine: "What is this man's name? He is generous and polite in dealing with people. He is a good person."
Catherine glanced at him casually, and then said: "You mean Morgan? He has always been very good. He is one of our key training targets."
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitate.
He looked at the man carefully, but was a little disappointed to find that he was not similar to the legendary Morgan. He always had a smile on his face and looked familiar to everyone he met.
But seeing his look, Lorraine felt relieved. The position of deputy general manager of Black Hawk Company that had been troubling him for a long time finally had a candidate.
At this moment, Leo patted his butt and walked over, then circled around Lorraine twice, looking at him unblinkingly with his big eyes.
Seeing Lorraine's heart fluttering, she couldn't help but sigh and said, "What's wrong with you? If you have any questions, just ask~! Don't look at me like this."
Leo looked at him seriously and said, "You asked Morgan to answer Gondres like that. Are you trying to deal with him, or are you really planning to do business with him?"
Lorraine thought for a while and asked: "Why do you think I am perfunctory with him? Of course I really want to do business with him."
Leo couldn't help but became furious. His eyes were burning with anger.
He jumped up to a height of three feet, then pointed at Lorraine's nose and shouted loudly: "Okay, I thought only those who have evil mouths and monkey cheeks are bad perverts, but I didn't expect you look so human-like and dog-like."
This guy is not a lewd one. He actually wants to do business with the enemies of the empire~! He is a traitor and a traitor. I...I...I..."
When he said this, he couldn't say any more, and his two big eyes were filled with tears of anger.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He raised his head and saw Adele and Lorena standing next to him looking at him with strange eyes. Catherine stood
Beside him, the expression in his eyes was also changing.
Lorraine was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You think so too?"
Adele hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Lorraine, don't say I won't help you. No matter what, you shouldn't do business with those Almohads."
Lord Lorraine blinked, then sighed quietly and said: "You are really serious... Now that things have happened, I have to tell the truth."
He paused and then said: "Think about it carefully. If we do business with the Almohads, all we earn will be their gold coins. Then we will use the money to buy things from their country.
, driving up their prices, disrupting their markets, destroying their confidence, and ultimately destroying their economy."
Leo couldn't help but tremble after hearing this, his eyes glowed with strange light, and he murmured: "So you want to engage in economic aggression~! Despicable, really despicable~!"
Lord Lorraine snorted coldly, and then said: "Is this enough? At that time, we can take advantage of the opportunity of building the windmill and water mill to send spies to conduct geological surveys.
Holding this flag, they can swagger across every inch of the Almohad Empire, explore the roads and trails in every place, understand the hydrological characteristics of every river, and draw detailed military strategic maps."
"It turns out that you can also send spies. It's insidious. It's so insidious~!" Leo couldn't help but exclaimed again.
Lorraine smiled contemptuously and continued: "After those things are built, we can easily calculate the Almohad Empire's main food output through the number, distribution, and wear and tear of those windmills and water mills.
The district’s harvest situation, population, consumption of steel equipment, and even tax revenue, etc. are top national secrets~!”
Leo's big black and white eyes suddenly shone with countless little stars.
He clenched his fists, looked at Lorraine with admiration, and said in admiration: "Boss, just doing a business can make you so skilled. You are so powerful~! So insidious~! So vicious
~! Too..."
Lorraine found that although his words meant to praise herself, they felt harsh. She couldn't help but frowned, waved her hand hurriedly, and interrupted him. She said: "Okay, okay. Just flatter me."
Neither. If I have time later, I will teach you a lesson."
Leo immediately agreed happily.
Only then did Catherine know who taught Leo those bastard things, but at this time she was also stunned by Lorraine's despicable and shameless economic invasion plan, and could not care about these details.
Out of instinctive reaction, she lowered her head with a slight frown and carefully considered the feasibility of this. Suddenly she realized that it was indeed feasible. She couldn't help but move in her heart and started walking back and forth in the room.
.
Although Adele and Lorena didn't know much about business, they couldn't help but admire Lorraine's clear and logical words. Then they turned around and saw Lorraine standing by the window, with one hand on her waist and her head raised.
He stared at the blue sky outside the window, his deep and wise eyes almost seemed to see through the sky, and he assumed a posture of rushing forward. I couldn't help but wonder, what kind of nerves was he having?
The two of them wanted to ask out loud, but when they saw Catherine lowering her head in thought next to them, they couldn't help but look at each other. They knew that she would only do this when she was considering extremely important issues, so they did not dare to say anything casually.
After a moment, Catherine stopped, then raised her head and asked seriously: "This plan is good, but how can you guarantee that after your two things are made, others will not learn them. Also follow them.
How to do it?"
Lorraine smiled and said decisively: "I'm sure they can't make it. The windmill and water mill seem very simple on the surface, but there are a lot of things involved. Even if they make it, it may not work."
Catherine raised her eyebrows and said, "For example?"
Lorraine smiled and said: "For example? It's very simple. For example, a windmill not only requires sufficient wind conditions, but also because it is too huge, it requires extremely high hardness of the bearing parts. Ordinary people simply cannot make it, even if it is made.
It won't last more than a few days.
The same is true for water mills. The location must be well chosen, otherwise it will be flooded immediately when there is a flood. It will not be enough to lose money.
More importantly..."
When he said this, he paused deliberately, then took out a delicate steel kit from his arms, placed it gently on the table, and then said: "What's more important is that they can't make this thing.
Without this thing, those waterwheels and mills will not be able to rotate at all, and even if they do, they will not be able to use their due strength due to wear and tear."
Catherine looked at the thing and couldn't help but reached out to pick it up curiously. She picked it up twice and looked at Lorraine in surprise and said: "You really know how to do some crooked things. How did you make this thing?"
?The object is so heavy, is it made of pure steel?"
Lorraine couldn't help but smile proudly. He thought to himself: Of course. This steel kit was made by Master Hamel himself. With this thing as the main shaft, the windmills and water mills can really operate.
Instead of breaking down every three days and repairing every two days, turning a windmill into a broken windmill that can drive people crazy.
But having said that, he also had to admire Master Hamel. At first, he just mentioned it casually. Unexpectedly, the old guy actually made it. So he later decided to add all the windmills and water mills.
Get involved in the company's business.
He glanced at Catherine, and then thought: If she knew that Master Hamel was like a rabbit, with two red eyes, trying to make ball bearings, who knows what they would think?
At this time, Leo finally couldn't help his worries and intervened, saying: "Boss, you have said so much, but if, I mean just in case, if someone really steals from us,
So what do we do?”
Lorraine smiled slightly and said: "That would be easier. I still wish they would do this."
"Huh?" Leo couldn't help but blinked in surprise.
Lorraine said calmly: "Don't forget, who are we doing this business with? His Highness the Second Prince of Almohad. This is a typical business collusion between government and businessmen. Let him send two of his dogs at will.
The official just dealt with that person."
When he raised his head and saw three pairs of disdainful looks from the side, he couldn't help but blush and said in a low voice: "This move seems a little too despicable?"
The three people all rolled their eyes and thought to themselves: You just know~!
Lorraine hurriedly raised his hands in surrender, and then said: "Just step back ten thousand steps without using this trick. But if anyone really learns from us secretly and dares to go out to take such a job, we will follow
He engaged in vicious competition, cut prices and promoted sales, threw rats to death, set fire to his construction site... until he went bankrupt and hanged himself~!"
Leo was overjoyed immediately after hearing this.
He slapped the table, waved his little hand with joy, and said: "Set fire and kill the mice, right? I'm best at this..."
As soon as he turned around and saw Catherine's livid face, he immediately calmed down again.
Lorraine couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.
He slapped Leo's little head hard and said: "Don't worry. Making this thing requires system engineering. Most people won't find the trick without trying for three or five years. But wait until he finds it.
We have finished this market a long time ago. Even if they try hard to squeeze in, it will be impossible."
Leo seemed to understand what he heard, but he also knew that since Lorraine had guaranteed it, at least there would be no problems in the short term.
He thought for a while, then turned his thoughts back to Catherine, and said, "Sister, do what you just said count?"
Catherine asked curiously: "You asked me if what I said counts?"
Leo said: "That's right, just before that oily guy came, you said you wanted to order a hundred sets. Did you keep your word?"
Catherine looked at his traitorous hair parted in the middle, and immediately remembered the incident where he raised the price, took kickbacks from the middle, and poached himself, and she couldn't help but new and old hatreds welled up in her heart.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and then said coldly: "It counts, of course it counts."
Leo chuckled and said, "That's good, that's good."
As he spoke, he took out a contract document that he had prepared a long time ago, signed his name on it, and filled in the specific amount. After a final review, he found that there was nothing wrong with it.
He nodded with satisfaction and then handed the document into Catherine's hands. Then he said: "Since there is no problem, will you sign this contract?"
Catherine glanced at him suspiciously, and then carefully looked at the document that had been drafted long ago.
When Leo saw it, he couldn't help being very dissatisfied and said: "Sister, what do you mean? Do you think I will still cheat you?"
Catherine glanced at him lightly, and then said: "That's not accurate. I don't know who secretly took my gold leaf hairpin in order to buy snacks. And one time later, I went out to run errands.
, if you buy something for three copper coins, you dare to come back and give me a false account of one gold coin.
You don’t do anything serious all day long, you just think about making money and getting kickbacks, do you think I can trust you?"
"I..." Leo's eyes widened immediately. He opened his small mouth, unable to say a word. Then he sat down on the chair next to him dejectedly.
Catherine ignored him. After reading the document, she said: "You have some conscience. There are no major flaws in these terms. However, they still need to be modified. I will change them later and give them to you."
Take it over."
"Ah?" Leo exclaimed, "Do you still have to wait?"
Catherine looked at his anxious face and couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Yes. No matter how you say it, this is a pretty big deal. Of course I have to be cautious. You can't let others see it and gossip about you behind your back."
ah."
Leo scratched his little face in confusion and said: "But we are waiting for the money. Right now the company is just an empty frame, without even a single person. Even Morgan came over temporarily to help."
Catherine couldn't help but look weird and said: "You mean you are just an empty leather bag company now?"
"Who said it's a handbag company? What kind of handbag company..." Leo immediately became a little unhappy and asked questions like a barrage of questions. Seeing that Catherine was blocked by him and didn't say a word, he said: "Our company is just a company now.
It has not been built. Moreover, we rented a shop and hired a magician, so the money was spent like water."
Adele whispered loudly to Lorena next to her, saying: "You still say no, this is obviously a leather bag company with only an empty shell."
"You..." Leo was so angry that his eyes turned red and he couldn't say a word.
Catherine looked at him thoughtfully and said: "Let's do this. Tell me what you plan to do first. If it makes sense, I will make an exception and pay you a sum of money in advance."
Leo glared at Adele angrily, and then said: "What's the point? After I have the money, I plan to recruit a few people first, and then let them work in Maple Leaf Danlin under the guidance of Lorraine.
Find a place to build a windmill as a demonstration, and then recruit some people, and let them lead those people, take over the work, and teach the disciples at the same time. In this way, we can work and teach at the same time, and we can make many things very quickly.
come out."
He paused and then said: "Furthermore, it is a rule in the real estate industry to prepay part of the payment in advance. It cannot be said to be an exception. If you prepay the deposit in advance, I can give you another nine
