Chapter 762: Lafayette, Foreigners Are Here to Build Our Roads!

After Tang En sent Egwen to Lyon, he felt a little relieved.

Although the Great Rift Valley has been closed, the number of demons that continue to appear is increasing. The combat pressure of the crusade team is also increasing, and they are in urgent need of all kinds of support.

Elsa has the help of Saratimore, and Leon has the help of Egwin. With their help, these two expedition teams can truly withstand risks.

Just over a week had passed, and they had already killed hundreds of demons. Tang En was shocked when he saw the trophies piled up in the warehouse.

Those demons whose skins and bones were skinned and dismembered would probably never imagine that they would end up sleeping here forever after coming to the human kingdom this time...

After the crusade team confirmed that it was safe, everything was back on track. Tang En concentrated on studying how to magically modify other earth technologies to Plandar. The Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute worked hard to tackle various projects, and the industrial zone deepened its transformation and industrialization. Split, urban traffic transformation is also proceeding simultaneously...

Time quickly came to the end of the Summer Month, and the first batch of buses from the Datang Chamber of Commerce were finally delivered. Through space equipment and teleportation arrays, the buses were distributed to various cities that had completed transportation transformation.

During this period, according to reports from Datang Daily, almost all people in the Illus Empire were aware of the convenience of buses, and were very much looking forward to this thing that would completely change the way people travel.

Of course there is resistance from traditional forces, such as the Chemxing industry, which has been most affected.

Various horse and carriage companies have formed an anti-bus alliance, using reasons such as "unsafe", "expensive" and "crowding" to strongly resist the normal operation of buses. Some people even maliciously destroy traffic lights or use horse-drawn carriages to block buses. (This may be Purandal's most primitive porcelain), and there are even people driving horse-drawn carriages to guard the bus stops to prevent pedestrians from taking the bus.

However, these resistances soon disappeared.

The reason is naturally because of Tang En's ghost agents.

He was not interested in spending a lot of effort to deal with these guys. He simply sent someone to the bedside and handed them the dagger and envelope. They would definitely make the right choice.

All in all, no matter how the process goes, in the Illus Empire, a primitive and rough bus system is finally officially operational, and because the outside temperature is very high, those who cannot afford magic air conditioning can experience it on the bus. Due to the refreshing power of the magic air conditioner, the number of passengers was beyond imagination at the beginning of operation, and Ellington had to immediately increase production capacity.

After the framework was built, Tang En stopped asking about this matter. It was difficult for him to make any suggestions for improvements, but he believed that with human creativity, they would soon be perfected spontaneously. Corresponding system.

With the further improvement of Ellington's production capacity and the increase in bus production, those cities will soon begin to have complete bus networks. As the convenience of people's travel increases, the scope will also become larger. Then these cities will It will continue to expand...

This is what Tang En likes to see.

In these sweltering days, not only the buses added fuel to the hearts of the people of the Illus Empire, but the highway network built by Star Diamond Bank and Datang Chamber of Commerce also brought special surprises to people.

That's right, the highway network between major cities throughout the Illus Empire was completely completed almost at the same time as the buses were delivered. From now on, the Illus Empire has a complete, flat road network. Expressways, combined with intercity buses, can allow citizens to quickly move from one city to another, greatly increasing the efficiency of population mobility between cities.

Ronitante Kingdom, Star Diamond Bank Headquarters.

Rivitz had a great conversation with Donne Fiona and others across the street. The topic they were discussing was the Illrus Empire Expressway.

At this time, Rivitz held up the golden wine glass: "Come! To celebrate our happy cooperation, let's drink this glass together!"

Tang En and Fiona were not polite to Rivitz. They raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank the liquid in one gulp.

Oh, I forgot to mention it. Of course, what Rivitz, the dragon rich bitch, drinks is not any ordinary wine. The liquid in this wine glass is fruit wine brewed from the very expensive ambergris fruit, which is even higher quality than the Elf Clan’s Crescent Moon Wine. It's even higher. A small cup of this thing is worth over 100,000 gold coins. Only the luxurious dragons can afford it. Humans basically don't even think about it.

The total value of the fruit wine that Tang En, Fiona, Tina and Ellington's group drank alone exceeded one million gold coins.

Tang En took a sip without any pressure, which aroused Oscar's contempt: "Sir Tang En, this kind of expensive wine needs to be savored slowly. The way you drink it is completely wrong. You simply-"

"Bah, bah, bah," Rivitz drank heavily, then smacked his mouth, looking at Oscar with some confusion, "What did you say?"

"..."

These damn rich people!

Oscar's mouth twitched: "It's nothing, Mr. Levitz."

"Okay, I get it now!"

Rivitz didn't know what he had understood. He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Tang En, His Majesty Oscar is very interested in the highway network we built and the city buses you recently produced. I wonder if you have anything in this regard." Interested in deepening cooperation?”

Rivitz had already negotiated cooperation plans with Twain in other countries, but now that Oscar has heard the news, he obviously also wants a piece of the pie.

Tang En looked at Oscar with a smile: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"We will invest in hiring the construction team of Star Diamond Bank, and at the same time buy your raw materials and technology."

"Sorry, the raw materials are available, but the technology is not for sale."

Oscar frowned: "Then what do you want?"

"You pay to hire the construction team of Star Diamond Bank and are responsible for providing funds. We provide technology and raw materials as shares. After the final road construction is completed, we will share the profits."

Oscar thought for a moment: "It sounds reasonable. What about the distribution ratio of the proceeds?"

Tang En was startled. He didn't expect Oscar to agree to this proposal. Maybe humans at this time still don't understand the importance of leaving the lifeline of transportation in the hands of others.

"Six to four points, six for us and four for you. How you allocate it is up to you."

"This is impossible!"

Oscar's eyes widened and he said angrily: "We provided a huge financial investment and only accounted for 40% of the profit?"

"Believe me, the cost of raw materials is even greater than the investment in personnel salaries."

Tang En said calmly: "In addition, the equipment used by the construction team of Star Diamond Bank is also rented from us. For the sake of our partners, I did not charge any money. Otherwise, what do you think your money is enough for?"

“But this ratio doesn’t work at all!”

"In that case, it's five to five."

Tang En said calmly: "However, the raw materials need to be accounted for in the cost, and the transportation will be left to you - I have to remind you that if you are asked to transport it, it will probably take ten years to complete the Ronitan. A special highway.”

"Why is it so slow!"

Tang En looked at Oscar with disdain: "Because our Datang Chamber of Commerce has a large amount of space equipment that can be used to transport raw materials."

Damn rich man!

Oscar said bitterly: "I understand."

Rivitz, who was next to him, suddenly said: "In that case, let's stick to the original plan. As an investor, we, Star Diamond Bank, will provide the main funds and personnel, accounting for 50% of the income, and Datang Chamber of Commerce will provide equipment, technology, Raw materials account for 40% of the revenue. As the representative of Ronitante, His Majesty Oscar is responsible for solving problems that arise during the construction of the highway, ensuring the legal status of the highway within the Kingdom of Ronitante, and actively promoting the use of the highway, etc. , accounting for 10% of the income.”

Twain smiled and shook his head. Rivitz's plan clicked. Although it still operated according to the original cooperation method, the bastard deducted Oscar's share from himself. What happened to Twain? May agree.

"I have no objection to the way of cooperation, but the distribution of benefits must be changed."

Tang En said without doubt: "The Datang Chamber of Commerce must guarantee 50% of the income. As for how to distribute the remaining 50% of the income, it is your business - you must understand that without our technical equipment and raw materials, your people And funds are nothing!”

Oscar and Rivitz looked at each other. Just as he was about to speak, Rivitz said decisively: "Our 50% income cannot be reduced anymore. Investment must consider income. If the income is too low, we would rather give up this time." invest."

Oscar was anxious. If Star Diamond Bank gave up the investment, it would mean that he would need to use the funds from the national treasury to independently bear the funds to build the highway network and city buses. That would be a sky-high price of tens of billions of gold coins. Even if Ronitante The kingdom is very rich, and he is also capable of physical pain.

Oscar argued hard, starting with the occupation of Ronitante's territory by building a highway, which was his territory, and guaranteeing that he would promote the smooth promotion of highways and city buses in Ronitante, and he was willing to cooperate with After the Datang Chamber of Commerce launched in-depth cooperation and provided the Datang Chamber of Commerce with certain tax reduction policies and other benefits, Tang En and Levitz reluctantly deducted half of their profits and gave them to Oscar.

The satisfied Oscar did not realize that he had inadvertently jumped into the pit that Twain and Levitz had tacitly prepared.

He seemed to have only promised a few pieces of policy preferential information and got 10% of the income in vain. It seemed wonderful, but he had completely forgotten that after this cooperation, the situation in Ronitant would be very important to General Tang En. There is no secret anymore. If necessary, the Illus Empire army can march directly in and occupy all cities in an instant.

Oscar didn't even think about it. If foreigners came to build the railway, would they be able to repay him with any good intentions?
