Chapter 1210: 1211The New Rich in Neverwinter City
Dorn’s Neverwinter Port had always been an asset of the Datang Group. Later, it was taken over by Dorn and has been operated to this day.
It would be an exaggeration to say that there is no progress here. I can only say that there is indeed progress, but not much. Compared with when Datang Group was here, the development speed of Neverwinter City is really too slow.
The entire port is still very busy. Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, it is still hot here. People are coming and going on the pier, which seems to be very lively.
The crane is lifting the cargo on the ship. A huge ship has just docked at the port. The hatch that opens on the side is very huge. Just from this feature, it can be concluded that this is a new ship launched by Datang Group in recent years.
The biggest feature is that this kind of ship can transport cars directly, which is much more convenient than the previous transportation method: cars can be driven directly into the cabin and then driven out again at the destination, saving a lot of time.
It is precisely because of this type of cargo ships that nobles have the convenience of traveling with their own cars. Thanks to the technology of the Tang Empire, many people's lives have been changed.
Because this is a cruise ship, different cabins have different fares, and the gangways you take when disembarking are also different. Those with third-class tickets must wait until all the VIPs have disembarked before they are eligible to walk out of their cabins.
Hold up by a sailor on the ship with a parasol, followed by an attendant carrying a suitcase, a woman who didn't look stunning but had a noble temperament walked down the gangway.
She is wearing a dress newly launched by Datang Fashion. It is the same style worn by the heroine in the movie. It is very popular in Chang'an, but it has not yet become popular in Dorne.
But just such a dress made this woman the most fashionable lady on the entire cruise ship. Many noble ladies and ladies were talking about her. She was the brightest star on the ship along the way.
Walking behind the woman was a middle-aged man. He was wearing an ordinary suit and there was nothing conspicuous about him. However, his status can be seen from the gold watch on his wrist: these days, anyone who can wear a famous watch produced by Datang Group has an unusual status.
“Daughter, look over there, there is the Poseidon statue in Neverwinter City.” Pan Yiping was in a very good mood. His business has grown bigger and bigger in the past year, and some of his business has even extended to Dorne.
Of course, he knows better than anyone else that these businesses actually rely on the care of Datang Group and are all borrowed from his son-in-law.
But business is business, and a lot of the money his company makes belongs to him. The intelligence department of the Tang Empire had developed to Dorne, so he was ordered to come to Dorne.
On the surface, he is a businessman who was persecuted to leave Dahua, but behind the scenes, he is another nail planted in Dorne by the Tang Empire.
The statue erected in the distance is one of the image projects built here by the Dornish Empire after it drove away the Tang Group. The huge statue is 68 meters high and can be easily seen from a distance on the sea.
This statue is a sea **** holding a compass in both hands. It symbolizes Dorne's developed maritime trade. It also prays for all Dorne's ships sailing on the ocean, praying for their safety and success.
"I saw it." Pan Qi held up the brim of her hat with her hand. The huge hat attracted people's attention: "It looks very good. Are we going to pass by there soon?"
“I don’t know, daughter, it’s my first time here too.” Pan Yiping replied with a smile: “But it doesn’t matter, we can hire a guide tomorrow and have a good time.”
Their status does not allow anyone to pick them up, which is a flaw in the eyes of caring people. Therefore, none of the chess pieces that Datang deployed in secret appeared on the dock.
Compared to Dahua and other places that the Tang Empire has operated for a long time, Dorne is obviously not that safe. There are secrets planted by Sophia here, as well as the intelligence agency of the Dorn Empire, so the intelligence personnel of the Tang Empire cannot be as public as in the capital of Great China.
Pan Yiping was brought here this time to install a "rich and wealthy" intelligence officer to be responsible for contacting the Dornish nobles who were also rich and leisurely. After all, sometimes it is more appropriate for a businessman to come forward than for an official or soldier to come forward.
A nobleman on the dock saw the refined Pan Qi. The man who claimed to be the master of flowers adjusted his collar, turned his head and said to his friend: "I seem to have found a woman I am willing to marry."
His friend followed his gaze and was immediately attracted by Pan Qi’s temperament. Pan Qi, a married woman, exudes the scent of a mature woman, and her every smile is much better than those noble **** in the Dorne Empire.
"Damn! She's really good! I'll give you 20 gold coins and give this to me, how about that?" The friend who couldn't move his eyes reached out and took the man's arm, and started to discuss.
"Of course not! I found her first!" The men who saw Pan Qi and Pan Yiping first were already ready to move over. He simulated introducing himself twice in his head, but felt that both were too ordinary and inappropriate.
How about introducing yourself directly and saying that your father is a viscount and that you are very rich? He thought about it in his mind and walked forward. The friends around him were not idle either, and also walked over: When the time comes, everyone can seduce a woman of this level based on their own abilities, who will care about those vulgar fans?
Just as the two people kept walking forward, preparing to introduce themselves and show off their so-called "prominent" family backgrounds, Pan Yiping's personal driver drove up in Pan Yiping's car that had just come out of the cruise ship.
It was a very exaggerated Rolls-Royce top-end sedan, exuding a sense of "keep away from strangers" luxury from the inside out.
Its wheels are two times larger than those of other cars. The paint can even be used as mirrors and is dotted with silver. The roar of the engine directly suppresses the other vehicles around it, causing many people to stop and watch.
The housekeeper who was following Pan Yiping opened the car door for Pan Yiping, saluted the sailor who had been holding Pan Qi's umbrella, took the tip Pan Qi threw and left.
Before the two local young nobles could approach, Pan Qi and Pan Yiping got into their cars and drove out of the dock.
They are here to show off their wealth. Only in this way can they quickly integrate into high-end circles. The wealthy people of Dorne will accept them as long as they are rich enough.
When they saw the Rolls-Royce, the two young men who were about to strike up a conversation immediately became timid. People who drove Rolls-Royce cars in Dorne were not the kind of people poor nobles like them could afford to offend.
However, they actually still want to get acquainted, because if they can really fall in the eyes of a woman, they may not have to struggle in this life.
It is a pity that at this moment, they can only watch the Rolls-Royce, which symbolizes wealth and status in Dorne, speeding past their eyes, blowing up a gust of wind like a giant beast and driving away.
“This car is really big.” A boy said to his mother who was holding his hand.
“Yeah, I don’t know what brand it is.” The child’s mother couldn’t tell the brand of the car, but just looking at the huge silver grille on the front of the car, she knew that the car was definitely not cheap.
Listening to the conversation between mother and son, the two young nobles on the side really wanted to go over and explain what a luxury car is, and why Rolls-Royce, the top luxury car from the Tang Empire, represents nobility and class.
In fact, they only had a partial understanding of it, because in the Tang Empire, the most noble and wealthy circles, everyone had already started talking about the new and higher-end luxury car brand "Longqi".
Longqi sedan is the top series of Rolls-Royce, or a new super luxury brand. The cars of this brand are all customized and have strict standards for length and interior.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty's Longqi sedan used one set of standards, and other Longqi sedans followed another standard. Only the top nobles who had been awarded the qualification by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had the right to purchase the Longqi sedan.
This kind of car is designed and manufactured in strict accordance with regulations. It is an "official car" in the true sense. Every detail is paid attention to, and no one can be overstepped.
Nowadays, only those who ride in a Longqi car can be called a superior. If someone in the family rides on a Longqi car, the family can be called a wealthy family!
It is a pity that few of the lower-class nobles as far away as Dorne know about the so-called Dragon Flag brand. The Dragon Flag bulletproof cars ordered by emperors of various countries have not been produced yet.
The Rolls-Royce, which was praised by these fringe aristocrats, can now only be regarded as a luxury car, a toy that can be driven if you have money.
Of course, this one is rich...it must be very rich! So in Dorne's Neverwinter Port, a luxury version of Rolls-Royce swaggered through the city, quickly attracting the attention of many people.
The wealthy businessman from the Kingdom of Dahua filled out a check from Datang Bank on the same day and purchased a top-notch real estate in the center of Neverwinter City.
I heard that the original owner of the house was a well-known old nobleman in the local area, and he did not plan to sell his property. But... Pan Yiping gave him too much.
I heard that when the owner of the house lowered his head and saw the amount on the check, he didn't speak for a long time. In the end, the old nobleman didn't even have the nerve to take away his furniture because he was afraid that Pan Yiping would regret it...
You see, sometimes a win-win situation is so simple. Pan Yiping felt that the house in Neverwinter City was too cheap, worse than a toilet in the suburbs of Chang'an; but the other party felt that Pan Yiping gave too much, so much that people couldn't help crying...
Soon this rich man from Dahua became the guest of the city lord of Neverwinter City. Soon after, this rich man purchased land in Neverwinter City, built factories, and hired workers. He seemed to be a very enterprising industrialist. .
