The conference room was very quiet for a while, with only the sound of shuffling documents being heard from time to time.

The partners looked up at Luther from time to time, with undisguised shock on their faces. This was an unprecedented plan, an extremely large one.

If the plan comes to fruition, it will be a treasure.

Investing a small amount of money now is equivalent to a large income in the future. Just like the six knight families, they did everything they could to collect 200,000 gold coins.

The biggest contributors are of course the contemporary knights, who borrow money from many relatives and friends, including Baron Barton, through their family reputation, followed by the collateral members of the six major families.

Every one of them has invested more or less.

Finally, we raised two hundred thousand.

These 200,000 gold coins may bring the six families to a very powerful path in the future. Now the six contemporary knights even feel a little regretful. If I had known earlier, I would have worked harder to collect more money.

Even if it means selling the collections in the castle, women's jewelry, and even the guards' weapons to raise some money, it would be worth it.

But there is no chance now, because the number of 200,000 has already been reported.

Why.

"I've read the document, and I'm very interested in this project. But I want to know, what is a hot spring?" Alice was the first to finish reading, and her beautiful face showed full of interest, but the questions she asked were a bit funny.

But Luther thought it was a bit funny because no one present knew what a hot spring was.

"To put it simply, it's hot spring water that comes out of the ground." Luther explained seriously, but he really wanted to laugh.

"Oh, is it that kind of hot spring water? What is the use of that kind of spring water?" Alice showed a look of sudden realization and then asked curiously.

"Hot springs have certain effects in delaying aging, eliminating fatigue, and whitening the skin. Although the effect is minimal, it can be used as a gimmick."

Luther explained.

As soon as he finished explaining, he found that Alice, Mrs. Morgan, Amanda, and Mrs. Sophie's eyes began to shine. Luther smiled bitterly, woman.

But he was also a little satisfied. It seems that this gimmick is still good. Women care most about keeping their beauty forever.

No matter what world you are in, this cannot be changed.

As long as the women are willing to come, the men will be willing to come too.

Of course, you have to be a wealthy noble in advance, otherwise you really can't afford it, because the consumption in hot spring resorts in the future will be astonishingly high.

"It is indeed a good plan. The nobles do lack a good place to relax and socialize on vacation. But even if we build a luxurious resort according to the specifications in the plan, it will not cost 1.3 million gold coins."

Miss Amanda was the second one to finish watching it, and she also expressed her doubts.

"You're not trying to embezzle some money, are you?" Alice was obviously not stupid, and was even more lively and eccentric. She looked at Luther with strange eyes and said.

Luther glared at Alice, then explained, "The facilities in the resort are all hardware, which is a necessary expense. Our services must also be top-notch. Only with luxurious facilities and top-notch services can we swindle more money. For example, waiters, we have to go through layers of selection and strict training, not only in terms of manners, figure, appearance, and smile, but also in terms of music, painting, etc., so that they can have simple artistic exchanges with the wealthy."

There is something else. Luther kept talking about the art of service to his partners. Top-level enjoyment is equivalent to top-level consumption.

This is a very fresh business concept. Although the six contemporary knights present do not have much business acumen, they are all from noble families. After a simple analysis, they can feel the mystery behind it.

Not to mention Amanda and Alice, two young ladies with good business acumen.

Everyone's eyes were bright, as if a dragon had seen the golden coins.

That would be a great treasure.

But Miss Amanda was a careful lady, and she raised her own questions.

"What you call hot springs are not only in Pompeii, but also in Orange. Why build the resort in Pompeii instead of other safer and more reliable places? In that case, it will not only be much safer, but also require much less security. Moreover, Pompeii is too remote. If the resort is designed in the center of Orange, wouldn't it be more attractive to the nobles?"

"yes."

The poor six contemporary knights have only just discovered this problem; it is simply that they lack the talent for management.

Like Old Thor, they are definitely not excellent knight lords except for their strength as knights.

"Because my plan is not just a hot spring resort. I also want to use this as capital to establish a consortium. I have already thought of a name, the Orange Consortium. This consortium will use the resort as a starting point and use the profits of the resort to develop and build a Pompeii metropolis. I don't need to say much about what kind of business opportunities a metropolis will bring. Real estate development, service industry, financial industry, etc. will bring us countless business opportunities, and we will dominate the business of this metropolis."

Luther expressed this purpose in an impassioned voice, and ended with a smiling and gentle tone.

"Moreover, the resort will bring us traffic. If the construction of the metropolis goes smoothly, then the top wealthy people will also be willing to buy properties in the metropolis. The resort is the starting point of the Pompeii metropolis."

This was Luther's entire plan, to pool funds from several families and use the profits from the resort to build a huge metropolis.

At that time, the business in the metropolis will naturally be controlled by the Orange Consortium.

But this city will be ruled by the Pompeii family.

The tax revenue from commercial activities in a metropolis would become the cornerstone of the Pompeii family. With such a city, Luther would have the capital to challenge the nobles with real titles.

This was Luther's eternal purpose.

Become an influential and powerful noble with a real title, and work hard for it.

When the time comes, you will have beauties if you want them, and you will have magic potions if you want them.

The key is to be strong and healthy and not be afraid of kidney deficiency.

Oh yeah.
