Golden City! Since the outbreak of the New Party, only the three major nobles and their territories in Orange have not experienced war.
Now Duke Ferge was eliminated by the joint efforts of Count Libya and Luther, and the city of Ferge was also captured by Count Libya.
The Golden City, like Pompeii, is one of the only two political centers that has not experienced war. Now it is located in the south and north of Pompeii, vaguely confronting each other.
But Pompeii is too young, while the Golden City is a thousand-year-old city, so it is naturally much more prosperous and brilliant.
And with the end of the war, the Golden City became the political center of Orange North again, and naturally became more prosperous and powerful.
Because of this prosperity, various businesses have become more prosperous, including Chelsea Advertising Company.
There are opportunities everywhere in Orange now, because the original order has been broken, a large number of nobles have been killed, and the only lords left are Libya in the north and White Eagle in the south.
These nobles, especially the lords, often interfered in certain businesses. As the nobles were killed, a large number of businesses became vacant.
Of course, merchants and nobles who originally had money but did not have the ability to interfere in these businesses flocked in.
If you want to do business in Orange, of course you have to expand your network. Only with connections can you gain a foothold in the business world.
Now that North and South Libya and White Eagle are confronting each other, the most valuable connection is the Count of Libya, the Count of White Eagle.
Therefore, Chelsea's business is booming.
Because the partner of Chelsea Company, Mr. Al, Libya is a relative of the Earl of Libya and has a say in the Earl's side.
Dave, Elsie is hoping to get into the top circle through Mr. Al Libya.
However, he did not want to meet the big shots in Libya. What he wanted to meet was the big shot of the Earl of White Eagle in the south, and he hoped to meet Luther Pompey, the ruler of White Eagle.
Because he got news from other places that Al, Libya had a good personal relationship with Luther and Pompey.
The reason why Dave and Elsie wanted to meet the big shots of the Earl of White Eagle was because their family had lived in the Marquisate of Parker for generations and ran a shoe business.
However, although the Elsey family had been running the business for generations, they could not expand their business because the Parker Marquis family also ran a shoe business, and the last Parker Marquis was very greedy and suppressed the business of other families.
When the New Party broke out, Dave, Elsie and their family fled north and settled in a small city in the Earldom of Libya.
Now that the war was over, he wanted to return to the South, restart his shoe business, and seize the vacant market.
Since they were going to operate in the south, they would naturally be looking for the White Eagle, not Libya.
Since Dave and Elsie were unable to get to know the White Eagle's rulers, Luther and Pompey, they naturally had to find a way out.
Just like when Luther first entered the Golden City, he found Al, Libya's connection and was able to break into the top circle of the Golden City.
Things are different now.
Now it is not Luther who is looking for a way out, but the other way around, those who are in need and need are looking for a way out and are approaching Luther.
Early in the morning, Dave and Elsie took a carriage to Chelsea Advertising Company. After being informed by the secretary, they came to Mr. Al's office.
"Hello, Mr. Al."
"Hello to you too, Mr. Dave."
After greeting everyone, Mr. Al asked Dave and Elsie to sit down and asked his secretary to bring two cups of coffee.
"We don't need to waste time. You come here to find me and I will provide you with services. What price are you willing to pay? Let me take you to the top circles in Golden City."
Mr. Al got straight to the point.
"One hundred thousand gold coins." Dave, Mr. Elsey said a huge number, and then said: "I would like to ask you to introduce the heir of Earl White Eagle, Mr. Luther Pompey."
"That's a good deal, but you have to pay another fifty thousand. This is because the other party is not a big shot that you can meet easily, and I have already taken over this order. Including you, there are a total of four people who want to get to know the next generation of Earl White Eagle through me."
Mr. Al said.
Just to meet the next generation of Earl White Eagle.
He thinks it's worth it.
"Okay, I'll be leaving for the hot spring resort in five days, so you should get ready. Luther, Pompeii will hold a top-notch ball there."
Mr. Al said.
"Okay." Dave, Mr. Elsie nodded.
"I didn't expect that. Back then, Luther came to see me with a letter of introduction from Kuba, asking me to introduce him to the top circle. Now, he himself is in the top circle."
"The next generation of Earl White Eagle, how loud."
After Dave left, Mr. Al couldn't help but sigh, time flies so fast, anything can happen.
It's only been a few years.
Asshole, Luther.
Five days later, Al, Libya led his own knight guards, took Dave, Alcy and four other clients who wanted to meet Luther Pompey, the next generation earl, and embarked on a journey.
The means of transportation were relatively primitive, just a few exquisite horse-drawn carriages. They passed by the city of Sparta, and then decisively abandoned the carriages and took the train instead.
Alice Transport Company not only has freight trains, but also passenger trains. The passenger trains have different grades of carriages, including ordinary seats and premium seats.
Mr. Al and his group naturally bought first-class tickets.
“Woo woo woo!”
With the sound of the whistle and the strange sounds made by the train wheels and rails, the train headed towards Pompeii at a very fast speed.
Outside the car window, the scenery flew backwards.
This mode of transportation is an unprecedented experience.
The reason why the first-class seats are first-class seats is because the service level is different. Mr. Al asked the beautiful stewardess to bring a bottle of wine. While drinking the wine and looking at the scenery outside the window, he felt surprised and shocked.
What a horrible means of transportation.
Four clients who urgently need to meet Luther, because they are businessmen, their senses are more intuitive.
"With this means of transportation, we can reach the northern end of White Eagle Territory from the southern end in two days at most. It will make travel more convenient for people, and what's more terrifying is that it will bring subversive changes to transportation."
“Not only is it faster, it’s also cheaper.”
“There is no transport fleet that can compare to the train.”
Dave, Mr. Elsie said with very deep eyes and very deep words.
"I heard that this train was designed by Luther Pompey and eventually handed over to Miss Alice for operation. The mind structure of this next-generation Earl is truly unique. He is a true business genius."
"If we can establish a personal relationship, let alone 150,000 gold coins, even 500,000 gold coins would be a profit for us."
A customer said.
Luther, Pompeii.
Having power, status, prestige, wealth, and business ability.
A real big shot in Orange.
