Chapter 221: 221 doesn’t like being late
Chapter 221 221 doesn’t like being late
Sometimes, power is such a simple thing. When someone plans to give you a city, you have no disturbance in your heart and just calmly promise to consider it. This is power.
Tang Mo walked out of the reception room and walked to his small office, where he saw Leo and several confidants waiting for him.
Tang Mo briefly told them the price of the Dornish envoys, and then saw the surprised expressions on these people's faces.
He knew that his subordinates were all coveting the port called Rewind Port, but he also knew that expanding now would not be a good thing for Datang Group itself.
In fact, he has lowered many standards due to rapid expansion. It is not a good thing to be eager to expand his sphere of influence.
So he explained: "Don't think this is a good thing. Dorne is too eager to expand. They have not yet firmly grasped the land they have swallowed."
"The people's hearts are unstable and the territory is too big, which will lead to backlash. Especially Cyric. If they stir up rebellion in Dorne, things will become very complicated." Tang Mo sat in his seat and stared at the wall in front of him. A huge map hangs above.
“So, what if we just take it over and don’t rush to develop it?” Leo thought for a while and then asked Tang Mo after he had his own idea.
Tang Mo nodded and said to him: "This is why I considered it instead of rejecting it. Dorne's expansion is risky, but there is actually no problem for us to capture Rewind Port."
"We only need to send a few people there and develop there gradually. Anyway, there is no need to develop into a second Bunas there, so it won't involve too much of our energy." He said, At the same time, he ordered Leo: "Bring the information about Rewind Port and take a look at the situation there before making a decision."
The temptation of a port is too great. What Dorn said about ceding Rewind Port to Datang Group actually covers many aspects.
This includes the Datang Group's garrison in Refeng Port, the establishment of administrative agencies, the formulation of complete customs taxes, etc. It is equivalent to saying that Dorne recognized that Rewind Port has become a country within a country and enjoys equal treatment from other countries.
"Also, let's find 20 Dandelions and let them go to Dorne! Grab as many points as possible and don't let Dorne have any big trouble..." After thinking about it, Tang Mo added another order.
Loew smiled and joked: "They are really a blessing in disguise. You know, there are so many people from other countries waiting to get our students, but they got 20 of them without any effort."
"Don't give it to them in vain!" Tang Mo also laughed: "That's it for today. Tomorrow's negotiations will be left to Leo. I want all the land within 20 kilometers around Rewind Port! There are also extraterritorial rights and the two barons. A title, isn’t it too much?”
"Title?" Leo was stunned and asked subconsciously. He didn't know why Tang Mo was so concerned about the title at this time.
"This is for you and Weiss. After all, one is my intelligence director and the other is my personal guard. It's not too much to add a baron, right?" Tang Mo explained.
Wes was stunned. He really didn't expect that a Northridge ranger like himself could one day obtain the title of baron.
Logically speaking, although he is just a driver and bodyguard of Tang Mo, he is already a noble.
Leo was also stunned on the spot, because as a criminal, he never thought that one day he would be able to obtain the title of noble in a foreign country.
This is a matter of honoring the ancestors. For a moment, he was so excited that he almost cried. He even had an urge to worship Tang Mo.
"I'm old, I'll wait until I get out." Tang Mo pushed back the old man Leo's tears with one sentence. He looked at Le Fu again and said, "Don't worry, there will be a bamboo shoot soon." Come and let me knock on the door, and you and Tiger will think about it later."
In his words, it was as if it was very easy to get a title, as long as he opened his mouth, the other party would not refuse.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Some nobles of the Wright Kingdom have secretly asked Tang Mo several times, hoping to recommend Tang Mo to be the earl of the kingdom.
Even, they felt that Tang Mo should obtain the title of Marquis of the Kingdom before Wright VII was crowned emperor.
At that time, the new emperor will be crowned, and Tang Mo will be able to legitimately become a duke. They have even thought of the title of the Duke: Dragon Duke!
Of course, if Tang Mo doesn’t like it, the name can be changed. Everything will be arranged according to Tang Mo’s wishes, absolutely considerate and meticulous!
"Since I call you master, I won't be pretentious." Leo's eyes were still wet, and he lowered his head to thank Tang Mo.
Wes said nothing, just smiled and touched his chin - he didn't need to express anything, his loyalty was worth the price.
Lev also had a smile on his face, because he knew that Tang Mo's promise would definitely be fulfilled. He only had to wait a few days, and the title would fall to him. The Cyric Consortium rarely pays attention to things like titles. In fact, those behind the scenes who control the Cyric Consortium do not want to turn all their chess pieces into nobles.
These people are condescending, overlooking the entire world, as if they themselves are so transcendent and noble.
Tang Mo is just the opposite. He prefers to give his subordinates some interesting identities. For example, Susan, who he has collaborated with in depth, has now become a well-known singer.
Any theater that can invite her to perform is bound to be full, and it is difficult to get a ticket, so countless people will try their best to get a ticket.
Soon it became clear that one would not be considered a noble if one did not attend one of Miss Susan's operas.
Those who can get high-end boxes when Miss Susan performs are all the most famous and powerful people in the local area.
This famous female singer only wears dresses designed by Lobby Fashion, a subsidiary of Datang Group, in public events, and only jewelry and jewelry designed by Lobby Fashion.
So today’s lobby fashion products have become the hottest top luxury goods in the fashion circle. As long as there is a fashionable label in the lobby, even a pair of socks can sell for a sky-high price.
The next day, while Leo was studying the ownership of Rewind Port on behalf of Tang Mo and Dorn's envoy, the envoy from the distant Yangmu Kingdom finally jumped off the train and stood on the platform of Bunas.
Only now did he realize what the Poplar Kingdom had missed—when he saw the car, he had already begun to walk on thin ice with trepidation.
After he saw the train, he was completely conquered by the power of technology. What lay before his eyes was a great future brought about by technological progress.
When these elves fell asleep while sitting on the train, and when they woke up, they found that they were about to arrive in Bunas. Everyone felt the huge pressure on their shoulders.
Owing such a terrifying force 100,000 gold coins is not a good thing. If the other party really holds a grudge against the Poplar Kingdom, it will really outweigh the gains.
The whole city gave Fitral an inexplicable urge to worship. He raised his head and looked at a huge hot air balloon floating outside the train station. He simply didn't know what to say.
What made him feel even more tremendous pressure was the speed of the entire city. No one is in a hurry here, and there are either horse-drawn carriages or cars passing by on the streets. Compared with this place, the royal city of Yangmu Kingdom is as comfortable as a nursing home.
When Fitral walked on the busy street, he even had an unreal feeling. Those tall buildings and those scary flashing neon lights made him feel like a country bumpkin.
There are more chimneys here than in Nanshui Port, stretching like a forest to the far end of the horizon that he cannot see.
Beside the road stands an entertainment venue that is even more splendid than the royal palace. Girls in scantily clad clothes are posing shamelessly. As long as you have money, you can find your true love here.
A nobleman wearing a decent Bunas suit drove a beautifully decorated T-shaped car and took his significant other through the city. The sound of the car's horn dotted the hustle and bustle of the city.
Everywhere is magic that the elves have never seen before, everywhere is greatness that subverts their understanding, and everywhere is wonder that challenges their life experience in the past few decades.
Because of arrears of money, no fleet has come to the Yangmu Kingdom in Bunas Port for more than a year. It seems that something has been missed...
After seeing what true prosperity is, these elves who came from afar did not even doubt that the city in front of them was the largest city in the world.
And when several carriages actually met them at the station and took them around Bunas, they had no doubts about the reply to the telegram they had received at Sidos.
This shows that Bunas really has a way to contact Sidos from a long distance, which means that they really have provoked someone they can't afford to offend.
"Gentlemen, because the top management of the group is very busy, I will arrange for you to stay at the Datang Hotel in Bunas today. Tomorrow, Harry, the manager of the group, will receive you at nine o'clock in the morning." In the carriage, The man in charge of the reception smiled and told the special envoy Fitral about tomorrow's trip.
The other party didn't even bother asking the elves if it was convenient, and just arranged the entire trip.
Obviously, this arrangement cannot be changed, because the other party did not ask the elves for any opinions.
On the contrary, after the man in charge of the reception finished talking about tomorrow's arrangements, he said: "Mr. Harry hates people being late the most, so you must go out on time tomorrow. The carriage will not wait for anyone."
