Chapter 90: 88: Signing Contract (Additional Update for Hypnosis 123)
PS: I am the first reader to give a tip to this book. I will add an update. Thank you for your support.
Provence Manor,
On the second floor, in the study.
This is Count Raymond’s study, and also the most luxuriously decorated room in the entire manor.
Under normal circumstances, this place is naturally not allowed to be opened, but today the situation is special, so it has been requisitioned.
The blazing fire in the fireplace dispelled the chill of the evening, and Roy entertained important guests in it.
Near the window,
At the desk.
"Sir Carl Bratt, welcome!"
"Roy Roy Fitz, you are more promising than I thought. If those brats in my family had your ability, I would be able to close my eyes even if I die."
"Sir, you must be joking. Everyone knows that your eldest grandson is studying at the Royal Academy. He has a bright future!"
"Haha, what a compliment! This must be Mr. Oliveira, right? Your name is so well-known, you truly embody the demeanor of a powerful man!"
"My teacher is a bit quiet, please don't be offended, sir! Come on, here's the contract, sir, take a look first!"
"What's there to see? The terms that need to be discussed have already been agreed upon. It's a waste of time to look at them again."
"Sir, it's better to be rigorous. Contracts always require caution."
"Then I'll take a look?"
"Look closely, look closely!"
"good!"
After a moment, both parties confirmed that they had completed the task. The quill pen wrote their names at the end, and then made two copies, with each party holding one.
After a trip to the Executive Hall tomorrow and the fair hearing, Roy will become one of the shareholders of the Davis Magic Energy Factory.
Although he is a small shareholder, you cannot treat the village chief as a cadre. A small shareholder is also a boss, their identities and status are different, and they are already a community of interests.
After the signing was completed, Luo Yi took out the dimensional bag again.
Under the envious gaze of Sir Carl Bratt, he took out the ruby ring and gold notes given by the Seven Gods Bank.
Fill in the numbers, sign your name, and leave your mark...
It was a simple action, but it attracted the attention of everyone present. When the gold ticket was handed to Carl Bratt, he took it solemnly and put it in his jacket pocket.
Even he couldn't ignore one thousand gold tyres, which was a considerable fortune.
At this point, the contract has been signed between the two parties!
Yes, this ball was held in the name of signing a contract, but you can't really drag a group of people with status and position in society into the banquet hall and sign a contract in front of everyone.
In the aristocratic world, this is a very rude behavior and inappropriate.
So, the dinner was held in this name, but the signing was done on the second floor.
After the matter was settled, Roy said, "Sir, please go to the sofa area and rest for a while. I will finish the business with the others first."
Carl Bratt smiled and nodded. "I'm old now. If I attend a party, I can only chat with people. I can't dance anymore."
"Haha, your role is, of course, to watch others dance. Come this way!"
"good!"
After getting up, Carl Bratt leaned on his crutches. As he took a step forward, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, I heard there's a reserved program tonight. I wonder what kind of magical machinery you're so excited about?"
Luo Yi made a gesture of invitation and said humbly, "It's a small creative idea of mine, and it was completed with the help of Miss Lilia Leitninger, a teacher at the academy."
"To be honest, it's a bit rude to show it off at a banquet. If you don't like it, just ignore it."
"No, even if others don't understand magical machinery, how could we not know about it? I just don't know if you accept investment here?"
"Of course, if the Sir is interested, we can discuss further cooperation, okay?"
“Okay, okay!”
Sir Carl Bratt happily went to the sofa area to drink tea, while Roy signed a contract with the next wealthy businessman, Matthew Hascott, and presented the money.
Luo Yi did the same thing nine times, spending nine thousand gold tyres in exchange for shares in nine magic energy factories.
All the factory owners who signed contracts with him did two things.
First, say hello to Oliveira!
Even though Oliveira maintained his usual aloofness and said almost nothing, a slight nod from his head was considered a courtesy.
However, none of these people thought there was anything wrong!
The value of the third-level extraordinary is no joke.
The second is curiosity about the magic hammer forging machine.
Of course, some people were genuinely curious, while others felt that Luo Yi was being a bit rude.
In fact, within the rules of aristocratic banquets, there is no precedent for intruding on the display of such magical machinery.
However, Luo Yi did not think that he was a person of noble status. He scoffed at the so-called etiquette of the nobles.
In his opinion, it is enough to achieve the goal.
Those invited this time are either the owners of the magic energy machinery factory or related practitioners.
He believed that as long as they saw the actual demonstration of the magic hammer forging machine, they would understand its value better than anyone else.
After entertaining everyone and signing nine contracts, half of the work for tonight's banquet was done.
Luo Yi just accompanied them to chat in the sofa area. It should be said that those who can reach high positions and become wealthy in this era are all people with great vision.
The nine people in front of me have different backgrounds and hobbies, but they all have their own aura.
They sat there talking and chatting, and it felt like wild beasts sitting and discussing in the mountains.
What they talked about were mostly the current affairs of the empire, various policies, the impacts brought about by them, etc.
There was even a dispute over "what means of transportation to use".
Now in the empire, the canal faction and the railway faction are arguing fiercely.
Some people believe that water transportation is the future and suggest widening the river channels between different rivers, building canals, connecting the east and the west, and forming a canal network.
Some are optimistic about the magic train, believing that it can be developed wherever the tracks are laid.
Both sides held their own views and argued fiercely, each with its own advantages and disadvantages and interests.
Furthermore, perhaps out of concern, they hardly mentioned what happened in Oakland, as if they had turned a blind eye to it.
In such occasions, Luo Yi was very silent and acted more like a listener.
But some people were unwilling to let him go. The wealthy businessman Matthew Hescott turned his gaze and suddenly said, "Mr. Roy, although you are young, your excellence and insight have earned our admiration.
I just wonder, do you think more favorably of the canal or the railway?"
Luo Yi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that the "war" would be brought to him.
However, seeing everyone's gazes focused on him, he knew he had no choice but to speak.
After a moment's thought, he said, "Actually, whether it's a canal, a railway, or a land route, in my opinion, there's no difference."
“There is only one saying I agree with: if you want to get rich, you must first build roads.
As long as roads are open, transportation is convenient, and all kinds of materials can be delivered to the right places, it will bring about great development!"
"As for the specific choice, that is something the Imperial Family and Cabinet Ministers need to consider. What we need to do is to follow the Imperial policy."
"Magic machinery is the main product of the Empire. If we want to get rich, we just need to follow the Empire's footsteps."
His words seemed to have no substance, but when people savored them carefully, they felt that his attitude was very clear and interesting.
At this moment, textile magnate Jack Lisbon suddenly asked, "So, you are a loyal supporter of the royal family, an imperial royalist?"
This statement has a specific meaning, and is even a clear indication!
Chloe said bluntly, "I follow the footsteps of the Hohenzollern family of the Habsburg Empire, but not all royalists are loyal to His Majesty the Empire."
"As you know, I've been attacked several times recently, and I still don't know who did it!"
"People always have selfish desires. Who can tell for sure?"
"But in terms of my overall direction, I will never change. I am studying at the Imperial School of Magic, and I am interested in the magical machinery major.
In the future, I will continue to invest in this area, and everyone can wait and see. Perhaps more magical machines will be born from my hands."
His words were full of confidence, and at this moment, Lilia walked in with her skirt lifted.
It felt like a ray of moonlight shining into the house, illuminating the entire study.
Many big guys’ eyes were wide open!
As a man, you stay young until you die!
Lilia remained calm in front of the factory owners. She nodded slightly and said to Luo Yi, "Luo Yi, it's time to start the party."
Luo Yi smiled and stood up: "Everyone, it's a pleasure chatting with you. However, I'm afraid I have to stop for a while now."
"The party has to begin!"
