[Chapter 451 Are you a traveler?]

Marianne’s heart became enthusiastic. That evening, when Robb returned to Westwind Town, washed his clothes, sat idle on the stone chair, and fished with a fishing rod, he saw Marianne strolling over.

“Godfather!” Marianne sat across from Robb’s stone table with a smile: “I took the big train today and went around the original stone canyon, and I felt more and more extraordinary about this big train.”

“Oh “Really?” Robb said with a smile: “Just like it! However, your businessman’s daughter came over to tell me about the big train. It should be more than just liking it. You want to play big, right?”

Marianne laughed: “Sure enough, I can’t hide anything from Godfather. I’m really jealous. I want to build a railway like this, and build a train like this.”

Rob was delighted: “What a big ambition, you’re afraid that I don’t know, even Her Majesty the Queen of Sigland had no choice but to give up after knowing how much iron this big train needs.”

A mysterious smile appeared on Marianne’s face: “Her Majesty is already poor, and our Cotton family has money , no less than the royal family.”

Robb: “…”

Marianne continued: “Moreover, we can also join forces with other noble families. When we were chatting on the train today, I heard the great merchant Probo say that he also wanted to Tossing about the train business is very profitable. If my family joins forces with the Probo family, then the funds will be more abundant. It should be no problem to supplement the railway for hundreds of miles and build a large train.”

“There is a lot of capital investment . Oh, once you go bankrupt, you will lose everything.” Robb laughed.

Marianne said with a smile: “Those who build the second railway may lose everything, but the first one will definitely make a lot of money.”

Rob was amused: “I have to remind you that the train has to burn diesel oil. Diesel can only be made from oil transported from the desert, and in this world, only my ‘alchemy’ can turn oil into diesel. No one else can. How do you get a big train to go? Diesel? I won’t give it to you.”

Marianne said: “We can’t afford a diesel engine, so we don’t have to use it. I saw a steam tank made by Godfather, and the power of that steam tank is also very good. The point is, its fuel is coal, which is the kind of fuel we want. There can be as many as you want, there is no problem at all.”

Robb Dalue: “What a smart woman! Well, I admit that your idea is feasible, steam trains are indeed more in line with the normal technology tree climbing route, I am the only one who can play diesel trains now. If others want to play, it is more suitable to use steam engines first. Then I want to know, how do you plan to use railways and trains to make money?”

Marianne smiled: “I have thought about it carefully. Big trains can transport people as well as goods, so if I own a train and a private railway, I can make money by collecting freight. One person charges a few silver coins for the fare, and a car hangs ten The carriage can transport thousands of people at a time, and you can earn hundreds of gold coins or more with just one trip. And the transportation of goods can be even more open. Calculated by weight and volume, there are ways to get merchants A portion of the profits will be dug out there.”

Speaking of which, she smiled and said, “And I only need to invest in the initial construction costs, and I hardly need to invest anything later. The car only needs to run for a few months, and I will You will be able to recover the cost, and then you will earn it all.”

“Hahaha! It’s not bad! The idea is very good. It’s really as green as blue and better than blue. Your vision and knowledge are already better than your father.” Laugh: “But have you ever thought that the function of transporting people and goods will become an important strategic function in the military. This kind of strategic good thing falls into the private hands of a few nobles, Her Majesty the Queen. Would you be willing?”

Marianne smiled: “If she doesn’t want to, just pull her into a shareholding and play together. Anyway, the initial investment is huge. For every additional shareholder, our Cotton family can invest less money and reduce certain risks, and this way It can be considered that the royal family owns a part of this railway line, and Her Majesty will open the door for convenience in terms of policy.”

“Your thinking is so advanced, you won’t be a traveler, right?” Robb said.

“Traveler? What?” Marianne wondered.

“Okay, just don’t understand.” Robb laughed: “Since you don’t understand, then I’ll teach you a little more. You can use the money earned from the first railway to build the second railway, two Wouldn’t it be more profitable to make money together with the railways? When you have money, build another railway, and make more money with three railways…the cycle begins again and again.”

Robb’s expression suddenly became serious: “One by one, in the end, your family’s The railways fill the entire kingdom of Gran, and you can become a railway tycoon who controls the entire transportation industry in West Gran. As long as you stomp your feet, the entire country’s freight system will shake. This business is smaller than your father’s stockings. The town is much better.”

These words made Marianne’s eyes light up, as if she had learned something.

Robb suddenly took out the communication crystal ball dedicated to Miss Queen and made a call.

It was already evening, and it was time to talk on the phone, so as soon as the phone was dialed, it was immediately connected, and Miss Queen’s face emerged from the crystal ball: “Play on if there is something, hang up if there is nothing! ”

She’s obviously getting revenge for the line Robb said the last time he got on the phone.

Robb smiled and said, “Miss Queen, let me introduce you to a very useful young talent, who may be an important Minister of the Interior of your kingdom in the future.” The

Queen’s eyes turned to Marianne: “Oh, I know her , Marianne Cotton, who specializes in magic props production at the Magic Academy, Katyusha and mines on my side were all funded by Robert. She is also a very discerning student. What’s wrong? What else does she have? Talent, is it worth introducing to me solemnly?”

Robb said, “Aren’t you jealous last time and envious of my big train? She has a way to help you get it out. Besides, she can help you with the railway. The whole country.”

Upon hearing this, Miss Queen’s face became even more serious: “She is a little magic academy student, what can she do? Even I can’t do anything!”

Robb smiled and said, “You can’t do anything about it, because you only regard the railway as a tool to serve the war, but you never think about how to use it to generate income, so when you think about building a railway, you only think about how much it will cost. Money, I feel that I can’t afford it when I think about it. However, this girl thinks not only about expenses, but also about income. With her method, you can use the least amount of money to supplement the railway throughout the country. ”
