  Chapter 80 80 Does he want to die?

"My father can't even earn 20,000 gold coins a year!" Alice said with some resentment: "If this is considered a small business, then does what I do count as a business?"

"Miss Alice's family has a big business, so she is naturally a big business person." Tang Mo laughed, looked at John aside, and asked with a smile: "What should we have for dinner?"

"Of course I'm just a guest. What do you usually eat here?" John asked curiously, looking full of interest.

Wes on the side looked at the sky. At that moment, he thought of the fish stewed cucumber that Aunt Trish is good at. As soon as this dish was introduced, countless martial arts masters vomited after eating it. It can really be described as shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods.

 I hope today’s dish is not a series of famous dishes developed by Aunt Trish, Wes prayed secretly in his mind.

“Yeah, I also think there must be some delicacies here that I haven’t eaten before.” Alice raised her temples, looking equally eager to try them.

"Actually, I don't have any special food here. I eat the same as the workers." Tang Mo made an indifferent gesture, and then said to Alice: "If you two are interested, would you like to visit the steam engine workshop? "

“Yes!” John and Alice blurted out almost at the same time. They looked at each other and found that they saw a vigilant look in each other's eyes.

 The steam engine workshop gives people a completely different feeling. Everything here seems very fresh.

Tang Mo not only produces steam engines here, but also produces many machine tools. The workers here have higher skills, and all the equipment here exudes an epoch-making and advanced flavor.

Under Parker's supervision, the workers here are working hard. In the middle of the entire workshop, there is a brand-new machine tool that has been manufactured and is waiting for testing.

This machine tool is used to produce drilling machines. It uses some new technologies and also uses some metal materials smelted by new smelting technologies.

Just by seeing these, you can guess how high-end this place is. Neither Alice nor John dared to take a breath and held their breath for fear of missing some important details.

 It’s a pity that everything here is not afraid to look at, because Tang Mo relies on high-precision technology to create sophisticated equipment.

Even Tang Mo was not worried at all. The two of them saw that the machine tools in this workshop used a special transmission device called a motor.

 Because electricity in this world is not an energy that humans can easily control, and people do not know the working principle of motors at all.

Including Alice, everyone who came to visit could only see that the machinery and equipment here were clean and tidy, and were not as complicated as the previous workshops.

 They naturally would not see some metal wires buried in the ground beneath their feet. They also didn't know that compared with the previous workshops, this workshop was already at the next level of technology.

“If you order a steam engine, it will be produced here.” Tang Mo spread his hands and gestured to everyone.

 “Can I take away a set of finished equipment?” John was a little impatient. He leaned towards Tang Mo and asked as quietly as possible.

The environment here is quite noisy, so what he calls a low voice is actually, to a certain extent, called a shout.

Alice, who was on the side, pretended not to hear anything and tried her best to act like I was visiting this place.

She looked at a processing machine here and saw a worker gently pushing a wrench in his hand, and the parts fixed on the wrench were polished brightly on the fast grinding tool.

 Then, she saw a familiar face, the old dwarf Matthews, discussing something with a skilled worker.

 Because of the distance, she certainly didn’t know what the two people were discussing, but she swore that she had never seen Matthews smile so brightly in Beiling.

“As long as you sign the contract, we can help you produce a complete set of equipment before your fleet sets sail! Trust me! This set of equipment allows you to establish your own weapons production factory in the Poplar Kingdom!”

"The elves will always remember your kindness! My friend! The Yangmu Kingdom will definitely remember your generosity!" John held Tang Mo's hand excitedly, not even thinking that the ring on Tang Mo's finger was so special. An eyesore.

His favorite ring has now become an ornament on Tang Mo's finger, and his most cherished pocket watch is lying quietly in Tang Mo's pocket at this moment.

"Mr. Tang! Are you free? Can you come over?" Alice stood next to a machine and waved to Tang Mo.

 “Look! If you are handsome, you are popular, right?” Tang Mo made an excuse gesture and said to John sheepishly.

"Believe me! My friend! She is not looking for you because you are handsome." John made a dismissive gesture to leave: "It's because you are rich now! Go! Go! Maybe tonight you Will fight till late. Hahaha!”

 “Hahaha!” Tang Mo smiled and pointed at John, then walked away backwards, turned around and left, walking towards Alice. "I have never thought that if I come here, I can only take four boats or even three boats to leave." John looked at Tang Mo's back in the distance and said to the captain behind him.

"However, we brought back something more important." The Elf captain said firmly.

 “Yes! Today is really our lucky day.” John exclaimed excitedly.

 “Yes! Sir!” the captain continued to nod.

 Tang Mo walked to the other side, looked at Alice's beautiful face, and waited for the girl to speak first.

Alice did not keep Tang Mo waiting for a long time. She thought for a few seconds and then said to Tang Mo: "I came here for a few things."

"I'm happy to serve you, beautiful lady." Tang Mo's mouth was as sweet as honey.

"I hope you can lend me 10 steam engines. I will repay you next year...around September." Alice considered it for a moment and then said the first thing.

"Well...my capital chain is also very fragile, miss. If I let you take away 10 steam engines for nothing, how can I continue to expand the scale of the factory?" Tang Mo did not agree in a hurry.

　　He has passed the age where a little girl will just wink at him and he will nod like a pug. Now, he is more weighing the pros and cons of the whole thing.

"I also know that this request seems a bit excessive, but you know, the economic situation in Northridge has been very bad recently. If we spend so much money to buy your things, our economy will probably collapse." Alice spoke.

“Can I ask, what are you going to do with so many steam engines?”

“I plan to increase the output of ore and build a workshop to produce bullets.” Alice told the truth: “We use up your bullets too fast, so I hope to get a more stable bullet replenishment alternative.”

"It's very reasonable. If you produce the bullets yourself, the price may be cheaper, which is in line with Beiling's long-term interests." Tang Mo nodded and looked at Alice approvingly: "The entry point is very good."

"But have you ever thought about why I should give you a machine and then create a competitor for myself?" Tang Mo spread his hands and asked his own question.

"You are not afraid of competition at all! You are even willing to sell machines to elves!" Alice pointed out Tang Mo's excuse.

Tang Mo did not comment, but continued: "The elves are very rich. They paid 160,000 gold coins for this. Although half of it has not yet arrived, I can receive the other half immediately."

“This is impossible, how can they have so much money?” Alice exclaimed.

"That's the question you just asked. I can answer you... They sold their fleet to me, including all the slave sailors." Tang Mo replied easily.

 He is not worried at all that Alice knows his own strength, because proper display of strength is also part of the negotiation.

"I, our Beiling...but, we are not that rich." Alice immediately felt the pressure, because she could not make Beiling's economy worse for these machines.

While eventually these machines will allow Northridge to add more output, that will take time. It is impossible for Beiling to idle for a month, waiting for these machines to be deployed and start participating in production.

"However, Beiling is my regular customer, and the Earl is also a good friend of mine." When Alice felt a little aggrieved, Tang Mo suddenly changed his style and said to himself.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Alice who was ignited with hope: "We can have a good talk. After dinner, when the elves return to the dock, you can come to my room."

 In an instant, Alice's face turned red. She stared at Tang Mo, looking at Tang Mo's handsome face, but at this moment, he looked too hateful and evil, and she remained silent for a long time.

Tang Mo smiled and pointed to the machine in the distance: "I will also demonstrate the operation of the steam engine to John later... Miss Alice can take a look here as she likes, just treat this place as her own home, no need to see her outside."

 After saying that, he turned around and walked towards John who was waiting for him, without even looking back.

Alice looked at Tang Mo's back and snorted angrily, but she didn't dare to let Tang Mo hear it. She couldn't do anything about Tang Mo's rudeness, she just felt that Tang Mo was really disgusting at this moment.

 At night...she is a girl...How dare this **** have such thoughts?

Use these machines as bargaining chips? Blackmail her? How abominable!

 Does he really...want to die? Alice thought bitterly in her heart.
