Chapter 388 Expo 388

“Dear guests, gentlemen and ladies, welcome to Bunas.” Tang Mo began to address the densely packed crowd on the makeshift podium in front of the building covered with a huge curtain.

The World Industrial Expo was held in Bunas, attracting people from almost half of the world to visit, directly pushing Bunas to an even more exaggerated height.

 Now, it is almost the most famous city in the world, more famous than the capitals of many empires.

 Tang Mo was still wearing a suit, and the crisp clothes made him look even more handsome. The reason why he didn't choose a tunic suit was because he was only 20 years old and couldn't look that imposing in a tunic suit.

"Let us warmly welcome... His Majesty the King of Wright Kingdom, His Majesty Wright VII! The Prime Minister of the Kingdom! The Minister of Construction! The Minister of Finance... Mr. Special Envoy of the Nanla Empire! Mr. Special Envoy of the newly established Ice Empire! And... Dorn, Susas, Yang Wood, pine wood, special envoy of the Goblin Kingdom..."

"Wow..." Warm applause resounded through the sky, because among all the people present, not many people had seen such a grand scene.

Not only was the king of the Kingdom of Leyte personally present to support the event, but also many envoys from each kingdom were present.

There are countless celebrities and wealthy people from all over the world. Frankly speaking, the people staying in the cheapest private rooms in the hotel in Bunas these days are probably first-rate rich people.

"Hello, rich people and ladies. I am Marquis Tang Mo, the founder of Datang Group. I am very happy to meet you all in Bunas today." Tang Mo smiled broadly, because this day, for him, , it is a happy day.

Holding this expo is a huge success for Datang Group and for him personally: "I believe everyone will not be disappointed in Bunas! This is the most prosperous city in the world, and it is also a place full of gold coins. . After traveling thousands of miles to come here, I believe everyone’s purpose is actually very simple...to buy the best, most expensive and most needed products for others, and to sell their own best, most expensive and most advanced products!”

 “Wow…” The applause became even more enthusiastic. After all, when it comes to making money, no one can remain rational.

“I hope you can find the best and most suitable products here! I also hope you can sell the products you produce here at a good price!” Tang Mo nodded slightly in thanks, and then continued.

"Today will be a great moment! This platform will also serve every participant!" He spread his hands and bathed in countless eyes: "Believe me! In the past, everyone was limited to themselves. The creek at your doorstep, after today, everyone will find that there is a vast ocean in front of their door!”

"We will jointly build the most comprehensive, most efficient, largest and most powerful sales network in the world! As long as everyone is in this network, everyone will benefit from it!" His words also made the wealthy businessmen below They were very excited.

 This is an era that belongs to them, and it also belongs to the Datang Group!

"It has become a thing of the past for us to be self-reliant! It has become synonymous with backwardness! From now on, the world will unite and move forward! We will represent together, the most powerful productive force in the world!" Tang Mo said, On the other hand, he changed his gesture and clenched his right hand to form a fist: "Only stronger and more competitive enterprises, companies, factories, and workshops can develop and grow, and can earn more gold coins!"

“Gold coins... are something we all like!” As he spoke, he laughed, making the audience below also laugh “Hahahaha!”

 “Wow…” The applause sounded again and lasted for a long time.

When the applause ended, Tang Mo continued: "Finally, I wish this World Industrial Expo a complete success, and I wish all guests and friends good health! All the best! And great wealth!"

 “Thank you, everyone!” After saying this, he walked off the stage without any hesitation.

“Boom!” The World Expo officially opened in Bunas. Above Tang Mo’s head, countless fireworks were shot into the sky by cannons.

 Although the fireworks bloom during the day, they are not very visually stunning. But because there were so many fireworks, it still shocked everyone.

　　When people looked up at the sky and were attracted by the countless exploding fireworks, pieces of canvas fell, and the entire industrial expo venue finally appeared in front of everyone.

Tang Mo directly took out the design of the Crystal Palace in order to show his strong industrial strength.

 He won’t go out of his way to create something original, because he has ready-made design drawings. If he takes out any one at random, it will be an “innovation” in this world.

As a time traveler, he doesn’t have any mental mysophobia. Anyway, as long as it is not a brain-dead design of a group of people who have a good life, he will not have any psychological pressure when using it.

The building is covered with glass. This transparent design gives the entire Crystal Palace a very explosive visual impact.

Even King Wright was stunned by what he saw when he saw this building.

Through the glass, he could see the huge ship model in the exhibition hall, as well as the novel booths, and even the staff guarding the booths. His Majesty, the king who was about to become emperor, swallowed his saliva and took a long time to come back to his senses.

 The steel frame structure combined with concrete gives the building a cold and solid atmosphere, and countless glass becomes the finishing touch.

It is no exaggeration to say that this building alone makes many people feel that the trip is worthwhile.

Not to mention, this expo only previews the things that will be on display, including a lot of advanced equipment. These things are definitely worth coming to see with your own eyes.

After the rumble of fireworks and cannons, at Tang Mo's invitation, Wright VII coquettishly became the first guest to push open the door of the Crystal Palace Exhibition Hall.

 Amidst the applause of the staff who greeted the group inside, tourists began to enter the palace in an orderly manner.

 Then, everyone was attracted by the fair itself.

Every booth here is too attractive for these rich and famous ladies from all over the world, and for these politicians and powerful ministers who come from various kingdoms and empires around the world.

 A wealthy woman and a countess were walking together. They were stunned by the exquisite crystal chandelier above their heads.

 Because it was too beautiful and complicated, these two strong women from a distant country did not even have the courage to ask the price of this chandelier.

They can only utter exclamations again and again to express their slightly limited vocabulary: "My God...My God..."

Finally, as if they had discovered a new world, they saw a small booth of a watchmaker. Here is a glass counter with various small and exquisite clocks.

Soon, the two people saw the exquisite new watch placed in the middle. Their eyes widened and they exclaimed: "Such a small clock?"

A gentle-looking old man with glasses came over and introduced with a smile: "Yes, it can be said to be the most sophisticated instrument in the world... The diameter of the entire dial does not exceed 20 mm... It is inlaid with gems... It can be called a work of art. "

 He is a watchmaker, his father is also a watchmaker, and so is his grandfather. Such a watch family naturally has its own unique understanding of watches.

At Bonas, he discovered a more confidential instrument, so he broke through and designed and manufactured more exquisite mechanical watches.

He put on silk gloves and took out the watch from the glass case. While showing it, he introduced: "Every week, the error will not exceed 10 minutes. It only needs simple adjustment, and it can accurately display the time." "

“This is so interesting.” The two women continued to exclaim as they looked at the sparkling gems and the small dial.

"Yes, Mademoiselle, and don't you think it's beautiful? Compared with those pocket watches used by men, this is a bigger watch... It is simply made for women." The watchmaker has been in Bunas. They are all making watches and pocket watches for the rich and nobles, so the etiquette is really impeccable.

This made the two noble women very satisfied. What they valued was this graceful and luxurious service process.

 So, the rich woman immediately nodded in agreement: "You are right...so right."

 She really liked this watch. After all, it would be too silly for a woman to carry a huge pocket watch, or a watch with a dial thicker than her arm.

The craftsman could see that there was business coming to the door, so he explained more vigorously: "Look at this watch chain, do you see the gems on it? Every one is perfect."

 “It’s really good...how much is it?” The rich woman had already decided to pay, so she asked.

 “700 gold coins.” The craftsman replied calmly.

 This number is actually not high in Bunas, because there are many wealthy businessmen who are willing to pay for more accurate time and designs that highlight their status.

  Anyway, in Bunas, all investments are profitable, and all operations will have generous returns—even if you just buy a few houses, you will find that you can still make a lot of money as housing prices rise.

 So it’s not that weird that a watch costs more than 10 cars — in the real world, it’s not that weird either.

However, the countess who was following the rich woman was still shocked by the price - she didn't have much property, and 700 gold coins was not the kind of amount she could throw away at will: "How much? "

 “700 gold coins, miss.” The craftsman replied politely.

Before her female companion could speak again, the rich woman said without hesitation: "It's really cheap, buy it." She decided to regard this watch as a stepping stone in Bunas, and she wanted to show her financial resources, and then increase investment in this city!

 Just take a look at the streets and alleys here, and who wouldn’t be attracted by this city? This place is great and worth the price!

"Thank you, thank you!" the clockmaker rubbed his hands and thanked with a smile on his face - before he was a little worried about whether he could sell anything by setting up a "stall" in such an industrial expo.

Now he has no doubts at all. What he is more worried about at this moment is whether the watches he made are enough to sell...

 In front of another booth, many railway tycoons gathered. Many of them made their fortunes on the railway, and many of them were first-class rich people in Dorne and Sussus.

Now, these wealthy people gathered together, crowded and pushed, trying to take a close look at the physical exhibit of the steam locomotive not far away.

The commentator stood in front of the crowd, maintaining order while introducing his product: "This is the most advanced steam train in the world. It can reach a terrifying speed of 90 kilometers per hour!"

“The key is that the power it can provide is more than the front of all previous trains. It can pull 20 carriages!” He said while walking from the front of the train to the end of the train.

 Then, he continued to point to the rails under the train and said: "Standard tracks, you can use this kind of train locomotive without any modification! It is revolutionary! Perfect!"

“So, we want to reserve 3 locomotives like this. Do you have any in stock?” an elf in a top hat asked loudly, waving his arms.

"It's not in stock yet... Sir... this is for exhibition... to show the leading level of industrial technology of Datang Group... If you want it in stock, you can make a reservation." The commentator replied politely.

The elf looked disappointed when he heard the answer, but he continued to ask: "So, how long will it take for us to get the ready goods?"

 “About a year later.” The commentator replied politely with a smile.

 The rich elves immediately complained: "Oh! Damn it! Why do you have to wait so long? We are still waiting to use it..."

Beside him, a dwarf was pushing, trying to push out the competitors who were taller than him: "Give way, sir, if you don't buy it, we still have to make a reservation! Damn it! If you don't buy it, Then why are you standing so far forward?"

"We want to reserve 5 carriages! There are also matching carriages..." he shouted loudly while complaining.

Beside him, a human who was a little impatient after being pushed frowned: "There are only five, you have the nerve to push forward? We want 7! 7 heads!"

 “Don’t make any noise, I was here first!” Further away, there were buyers from other countries, waving their hats, trying to attract the attention of the salesperson in front.

 “It’s amazing to be the one who came first?” Further away, more people began to complain.

Not far from this booth, there was another booth, a factory called Rick Vehicle Factory, and the booth staff kept shouting.

The scene was a bit chaotic, and many people were watching - Rick's Vehicle Factory was also a train manufacturing factory, and Cyric's deacon Sophia's personal maid was sitting here at this time.

 The trains they launched are almost exactly the same as the first-generation steam locomotives of the Datang Group, and even many of the parts are common.

 Furthermore, the main advantage of this factory is price. The locomotives they produce are less than one-third of the price of similar products from Datang Group.

 Another advantage is that their products do not need to be queued, or that there is no need to queue for the time being, and they are immediately available.

This has attracted the interest of many countries that are eager to develop railways. At this time, they have already received a lot of orders. Judging from these orders alone, profitability is not a problem for the train factory that Cyric secretly established.

There are also some small companies at the venue. Although they rely on the technology of Datang Group, they launch a variety of products. It happens that these technologies are still very marketable and have also attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing a machine imprinting exquisite patterns on the cut deerskin, a businessman exclaimed excitedly: "This is Beiling's new deerskin processing machine... It's so advanced! With it, I only need 3 With just one worker, we can do what it took 45 workers to do.”

This machine works smoothly and at an extremely fast speed, and can put various styles of patterns on deerskin. In the past, many skilled workers were needed to complete this, but now only a few workers and one machine are needed.

Therefore, the businessman whose family is mainly engaged in leather seemed to be very moved and said: "Look at its working condition, my God! It is simply a pleasure!"

"Yes, the premise is that your city must have a power system... If there is not enough power, this device is just a decoration." His friend saw the problem at a glance and couldn't help but pour cold water on it. .

After thinking for a few seconds, the businessman who made his fortune from leather seemed to be more interested in power generation: "If, I mean if, I buy a set of power generation equipment in my city... open a power plant... is there a future?"

His friend sneered twice, and then continued to throw cold water: "Future? Of course there is a future... Did you know? Datang Group's generator equipment is also lined up, and there are hundreds of people who want to develop power plants... You may Can’t buy it.”

"My brother-in-law's grandfather's cousin's daughter-in-law, I heard that she knows a lot of people in Bunas, I might be able to find some connections." The leather merchant decided to show off his strong connections to his friends.

Sure enough, his friend immediately stopped pouring cold water on him and instead begged with sincerity: "If you can buy it... count me in... I'll pay 3,000 gold coins to invest..."

"Okay! Let's make a fortune together then." The businessman was very pleased with the feeling of being asked to come to his door, so he nodded and talked freely.

Just kidding, if he really gets the power generation equipment, he can make money wherever he invests. How can he find any shareholders at this time?

His friend didn't notice his perfunctory tone, but continued to ask: "Yeah! Let's make a fortune together... Then do you want to buy this deerskin processing machine?"

"Buy it, of course I'll buy it. That's a business passed down from my ancestors. How can I have the nerve to throw it away..." The leather merchant looked serious, but he had already begun to figure out in his heart how he should deal with that "brother-in-law's grandfather's cousin." "My daughter-in-law" invited me out for a casual dinner...

"Let's go over there and have a look..." Seeing a lot of people crowded in the distance, his friend pointed and said.

 The leather merchant was immediately interested: "Let's go! Let's go! Let's do it together!"

The two of them walked over and discovered that there was a generator equipment manufacturer over there, and it looked like it was very successful.

Actually, think about it, these days, everyone is short of electricity and electric equipment. How could the booth of this kind of electric equipment production factory not be popular?

  If you want to purchase the power equipment of Datang Group, it is not enough to pay for it. You still have to queue up and wait for the production sequence. Naturally, these small power equipment production factories can get large orders.

"Everyone, come and take a look! Take a look! This is a brand-new power generation equipment launched by our Bingjinghe Electric Power Company! It is small in size and easy to generate electricity! Come and take a look!" The salesman shouted at the top of his lungs With.

The leather merchant who was just thinking about finding someone to buy a generator immediately showed an interested look: "Bingjinghe Electric Power Company? Can they also produce motors?"

Hearing his question, a salesman immediately came over: "Sir! Are you ignorant? Bingjinghe Electric Power Company is now the best electric power company besides Datang Electric Power!"

“We have 3,000 kilowatt-hour power generation equipment! We also have supporting power design capabilities! Come! Come over here and talk!” He said while pointing to the actual objects on display.

“If you want larger power generation equipment, we are also capable of designing and building it. Our technical reserves in power are quite sufficient.” As he said that, he pointed to a transformer equipment further away.

The leather merchant asked curiously: "But, can you really do what you advertise? Also design electricity for a city?"

“Sir, let me tell you secretly that the boss of our power company is the brother-in-law of the boss of Datang Electric Power of Datang Group. Do you think we have the ability?” The salesperson pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice.

 The leather merchant immediately became vigilant: "Will there be any problems? What if Datang Electric Power pursues the case?"

"Hey, let me tell you, we are also being held accountable. What are you worried about?" The salesperson looked relieved.

This leather merchant was slightly tempted: "But I still don't know what to do... Do you really have the core technology? Can you design a city's power lines?"

"Don't worry...our transformers are of very good quality...and even with a discount, how much electricity do you think an average small city can use? It's not a big project, right?" The salesperson pretended again. A very honest look.

 “Whatever I heard, I felt that it was a bit unreliable.” The leather merchant wanted to retreat.

"Okay, let me tell you clearly, it is not very reliable...but we also have advantages." The salesman gritted his teeth and came up with his trump card.

“Excellent, advantage? What advantage.” Sure enough, the leather merchant seemed to have regained his interest.

 “Price!” said the salesman.

 “Price?” The leather merchant was stunned.

"Yes! Price! The price of our power generation equipment is about one-fifth of that of Datang Electric Power!" The salesman stretched out his palm and made a gesture.

There is another update, a little later, you can watch it tomorrow morning.
