Chapter 5 5great generosity"The loom...didn't expect it could be applied to this..." heard Chris Having said that, Dez nodded with a stunned expression.
After a few seconds of silence, Dez suddenly lifts the head and stares at Chris: "I've decided to invest in your machines."
"Invest? Meaning." Chris is waiting for this opportunity, what he lacks now is primordial capital, so he can only choose this small expansion model: "How much do you plan to invest?"
"1.5 million gold coin." Dez didn't even think about it, and said a price he thought was more reasonable.
Chris nodded, then suddenly realized something, looked towards Dez, "How much did you say?" startled. Adding up the projects run by Serris City, the total value may not exceed 1.5 million gold coins.
But the other party was like mentioning a dinner, and he said the number so easily, without even hesitating.
"Are you going to buy the equipment? With the money?" Chris asked with a smile, suddenly interested in the Dez in front of him.
"No, Chris City Lord, these devices are neat, but...they're not worth 1.5 million gold coins." Dez shook the head, formally.
He looked towards Chris and said his plan: "I want to follow up all your achievements, and the Lontate family will monopolize the sales rights of these machines."
"hahahaha. "Chris heard Dez finish, laughed heartily. He laughed recklessly, as if he had heard something super funny.
From Dez's point of view, the investor is clearly bold. He is willing to take out 1.5 million gold coins to monopolize Chris's equipment on blueprint, which can be described as a great adventurous spirit.
But from the perspective of Chris, the crystallization of scientific civilization in his mind is far from being monopolized by 1.5 million gold coins.
The intelligence resources of the two sides are not equal, which makes the original high-profile venture capital into a naive speculation.
“Mr. Dez, would you like to hear me tell a story?” Chris asked Dez patiently.
didn't expect The other party didn't want to immediately decide on the cooperation after hearing the 1.5 million gold coin, Dez frowned slightly.
Money opened the way, and the Lontate family was in for nothing. Crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, this time the same trick didn't work as expected, which made Dez a little uncomfortable.
It was a sense of unease beyond his grasp, but curiosity kept him silent, watching Chris wait for him to finish.
Chris then told his story: Once a businessman and his father discussed the profit of the businessman, he asked his father: "How many times can I make a profit from farming?" The father said "About ten times." Then the merchant asked, "How many times is the profit from selling pearls and jade?" How many times the profit?" The father said: "It's too much to calculate."
Here, Chris smiled and looked towards Dez and asked: "You only plan to take out 1.5 million gold coins, Just wanting to buy an empire in the future...isn't it too stingy?"
"Hu..." With a sigh of relief, Dez agreed with Chris's point of view: "If you can really build If I start an empire, the price I just paid was really low."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards Chris and continued to ask: "But the question is, what can you come up with? What about building an empire? And after you build an empire, how much benefit are you going to give me?"
"I'll show you something in a while...I promise you'll believe me after you read it. It's all said." Chris tapped the woodworking machinery beside him with his fingers and said confidently: "As for the benefits I can give you..."
He paused and his eyes became sharp: "The Lontate family will To be the richest family in this world, there is no one; and there is only one voice in this family, and that is your voice!"
"His..." Taking a deep breath, Dez narrowed his eyes , although some things are the lifelong dream of many members of the Lontate family, but to say it so honestly, the imposing manner is not the same.
"I have to see things before I can make a decision." After a long wait, Dez finally broke the silence between the two: "Let's lead the way."
If There are options, and Chris doesn't want to show the killing move he just made to someone who is not familiar with it.
But the opportunity in front of him never came. He wanted to seize Dez, a capital tyrant, to speed up his own primordial accumulation process.
With the financial and logistical support, Chris can grow rapidly in Serris City. Then start your own expansion plan and expand your strength as much as possible.
This is also something that can't be helped: if there is a way to make money, but there is no corresponding power, you can only live under the oppression of Arrant.
The tax will only increase, and the slightest dissatisfaction will be strangled by the enemy tenfold. Chris came through, but he didn't want to keep putting his life in the hands of others. He wants to seize his own destiny and let this world have its own voice!
Take Dez out of the carpentry, Chris took Dez to his carriage, and for the sake of secrecy, Deans drove by himself, Dez and Chris didn't even bring their own guards.
The three made their way to the edge of the forest, where they saw a makeshift barracks. Although it is very simple, it is well-defended.
"What is this?" Under the leadership of Vagron, Chris brought Dez to see a strange thing, Dez had never seen this thing, so he asked curiously.
He stroked the dark "iron pipe" lying between the two wheels with his hand, and the coldness that spread between his fingers made Dez feel the horror of unfathomable mystery.
"With this, the thick city wall will become fragile quicksand, and there will be no fortress that cannot be breached." Chris smiled and explained to Dez the most powerful weapon of war he had produced— -artillery!
This is a European-style infantry field gun around 1880. The gun mount is made of metal, the overall weight is 1.2 tons, and the caliber is also an alternative number of 90 mm.
But even if this thing is very primordial, it is very difficult for Chris to make it: he has to find various steels for smelting experiments, and he has to organize people to find black powder. Raw materials, the manufacture of this cannon was only really completed a few days ago.
In addition, this kind of artillery and the shells it uses are basically hand-made, and the manufacturing efficiency is very low. Chris also tried his best to create such a few.
Although it is a front-loading version of the cannon, and although the range of this thing is only about 6 kilometers away, it is still the first sect cannon in this world, a new weapon that can change the mode of warfare.
"Forgive me to speak bluntly, even if you build a ballista out of metal, it won't be much more powerful than a wooden ballista." Guessing the weapon in front of him with his own knowledge of weapons Power, Dez pursed his lips.
His family does not sell weapons. In fact, several of the oldest business families have their own arms business-they understand war and even sell war, and make huge profits from it.
"Hahahaha." Hearing Dez's comment, before Chris could speak, Vagron couldn't help laughing.
He said the same to his Sir City Lord Chris two days ago when he was experimenting with the new weapon. But when the weapon really roared, he became a diehard Chris.
Even, Vagron revised the oath of the cavalry unit, ordering everyone to swear allegiance with life like City Lord Alanhill ·Chris.
"Forgive him for being rude," Chris said to the somewhat embarrassed Dez. "We'll be practicing this new weapon soon, and you'll be able to review it before commenting."
Before Dez waited too long, a dozen or so soldiers stepped forward and began reloading the two cannons in front of Dez.
They were already trained, so they were very proficient in preparing according to the code written by Chris, and they were ready for launch in no time.
Just as Dez watched curiously, one of the artillery shells fired at a target 1,000 meters away.
The loud noise of "bang!" made Dez fall to the ground. He watched as the black iron pipe spewed out a puff of white smoke, and after just a moment, the dirt that was used as a target. Qiu was torn apart by a huge force, and the soil splashed everywhere.
"This...this is magic! The gods are on top...this is magic!" Dez looked at the mound that had not completely quieted down in horror, and shouted loudly, regardless of his embarrassed appearance. road.
For the first time, the scientific and technological civilization has made its own voice in this world, and the voice it makes is so loud that it can change history.
"It's not magic." Chris smiled and stretched out his palm to Dez, who was sitting on the ground, and pulled him up: "It's a weapon! Developed by the Alanhill family, a weapon of war!"
"..." Looking at the firing cannon, Dez couldn't believe it. Holding the last bit of luck, he pointed to the remaining mounds in the distance and asked, "I Can you... designate a target?"
"Sure!" Chris took the torch from a soldier and handed it to Dez: "You can still fire yourself!"
Dez took the torch, selected a target and had the soldiers angle the guns, then stood by the guns.
He waited for a while, took a deep breath, and resolutely pressed the torch to the match.
"bang!" With a loud bang, the second shell flew into the distance and hit the mound designated by Dez, cutting it to the ground...
