The inauguration dinner of the new Governor.
Like other similar gatherings, it is not only a social place for high society, but also an excellent opportunity for nobles to exchange various kinds of information.In addition, the banquet held here also shows the power of the Governor and promotes &; goodwill and love.
Coupled with the completion of the Governor's Mansion, it can be regarded as a completion ceremony, saving a lot of expenses.
Having said that, looking at the governor's palace where the gold is brilliant enough to shake the eyes of the krypton gold dog, it really makes Roland not interested.
I don’t know if it’s because of the interest of the former governor, or as the rumor says, this is actually a palace built under the name of the second prince. In short, the former owner of the governor’s house is a person with bad taste, so he will be financially stressed. Under the circumstances, it cost 5 million Angstroms, equivalent to 35 tons of gold, to build such a luxurious building that strives to imitate the Palace of Versailles and the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, but combines all kinds of ugly and discordant elements. This is like a cream cake The Governor’s Palace covers an area of 11.2 hectares, with 285 rooms, 46 halls, 4 swimming pools, 3 open-air baths, 6 steam baths, 2 tennis courts, 68 toilets. The decoration is extremely luxurious and uses a lot of gold , Marble, mahogany, velvet, silk, only 14 tons of gold are used for the gilding of the ceiling decoration. There are also a large number of crystal crafts in the Governor’s Mansion, including a 4.5-ton crystal chandelier, and a whole baroque style staircase made of crystal ...
The so-called poor luxury is too good.
Roland maintained a friendly smile and lamented in his heart.
More than half of the banquet hall was occupied by Titans’ black uniforms, a large pile of silver oak leaf badges dangled in front of the eyes, and occasionally there were oak leaves with diamond-shaped star emblems. Like this high-level gathering place, the captain of the flag- That is, the officers below the rank of the army colonel have no chance to come in, so the diamond emblem of the captain class is rare, let alone the skull of the lower level. Most of the gathered here are the garrison commanders in nearby towns, or The commander of the field force is based on the good relationship between the consortium and Titans. The purpose of awarding the honor to Roland is actually to sell a face to the consortium president and the royal family.
The remaining people in formal attire are either the person in charge of the consortium’s enterprises or government employees. The second is the so-called "maintenance meeting".
The first two are directly under the command of Roland’s subordinates, so naturally they want to be good at this young master. As for the latter kind of people...to devote themselves to the &; two countries’ goodwill&;,&;co-prosperity and coexistence&;&;model Fan Liangmin&; We are nagging the heirs around the consortium.
&; Your Excellency, ‘Is Shikoku Railway Company really going to fail?&;
&; Your Excellency, our family will quickly quell the rebellion in the territory, please restart the railway construction as soon as possible! &;
&; Your Excellency, please inform the President on your behalf. If you have any trouble, please say it, we will be able to settle it.&;
&; Your Excellency...&;
Voices of anxiety and excitement kept roaring in Roland's ears. Looking at a group of old aristocrats who could give themselves as grandpas in a low voice, Roland politely persuaded, while in silence in his heart for the grandpas.
They are all stock holders of the "Shikoku Railway Company"; some people almost put their lives on the railway stocks and made a lot of money in the previous stock wave. Just when they are ready to make persistent efforts. Let the gold coins When the newly built warehouse was filled, under the watch of all the stockholders, & Shikoku Railway Company closed down...
No, there was no official announcement of the bankruptcy. It was just a month after Titans invaded Castile that the popular investment company declared a temporary suspension of business indefinitely-this is almost the same as bankruptcy. In any case, the sand castle that was washed by the waves was disillusioned, and the speed was as fast as the mother goddess visited the lion last night to make it disappear.
Of course. The company did not collapse under the supernatural power. The consortium has already prepared various rhetoric: First, the Castilian obstruction. Patriotic farmers and landlords stubbornly refused due to Titans’ invading invasion Any < Charlie Manao’s machine monsters and rails' pass through their own land, for this reason, many conflicts have erupted. This has made the railway project progress slowly, and unnecessary expenses have increased significantly. Second, due to all the projects All materials need to be imported. The consortium had to pay for the transportation problem by its own pocket, and Castile’s poor traffic and security environment further increased this expense. Third, the special terrain of Castilla made the construction difficult. It is envisaged that the company is experimenting with &; special equipment operating in a complex mana environment, but it cannot be saved. And the cost of research and development is high. Fourth...
The above is basically nonsense, the most critical and the most worrying is the last one: someone inside the railway company embezzled funds to invest in other projects, or used to squander, very unfortunately, all investments-roulette, wrestling, horse gambling , Cockfighting has all failed, those squandered funds... naturally squandered.
Very reasonable to say, but it has no practical significance for investors. They are concerned about their money, but the shiny mountain of gold coins has disappeared. Some people hope to get compensation, but no one will do this kind of thing; Others want justice, but Castile’s administrative and security forces cannot control the occupied area and Charlemagne, and the management of the railway company will either disappear or abscond, or it will be suicide, and the rest will be irrelevant. The important little shrimp...
As always, justice will not come, more precisely, justice will never come.
Roland can fully imagine that Li Lin is tasting red wine in his office while making a mean comment in an elegant manner.
This is not the first time, nor the last time, the consortium is always doing this kind of thing, but has never been tried. According to Li. [,! ] Lin’s statement, no matter how much crime the investment company has committed, even if it is the hope of humanity, the lighthouse of freedom of cooking is plunged into a financial crisis that is no longer possible, and countless people will be ruined, and they will not be tried. Various dividends, enjoy a leisurely retirement life, and at the same time instruct the government and the police to drive out, suppress the courage to protest this 99.
Now, it is time to witness Li Lin's correctness again.
Investors can only bear the losses themselves and bear all the consequences. These people used to have some good ideas about the future, and now all the good dreams, plans, and even their lives and their families have all disappeared, silently disappeared. .
It's a bit ironic, people finally ushered in peace, but received two big gifts one after another, the first one was Titans invading Castilla, and the second one was the wealth of tens of millions of Egyptian gold coins instantly vanished. ...The first gift only tortured the Castilians and the Charlemagne. The latter one left thousands of people in - whether they committed suicide or were killed.
At present, these nobles have not fallen to the point where they need to point their guns at themselves or jump to a high place, but their life is very difficult. In order to get rid of this dilemma, in order to recover losses in a new wave of stock investment And make money. They can only tie their lives and the interests of foreign aggressors, and beg the consortium's heir to inform his adoptive father: restart the railway construction as soon as possible.
Will Li Lin restart railway construction? The answer is yes. He needs to be able to enter Castile’s strategic railway, and he also intends to continue to squeeze people’s wallets. As long as the situation is slightly stable, he will definitely issue railway stocks again. Once again creating the myth of a night of riches, and then countless people once again rushed into the stock exchange with dreams, and were looted by the consortium again. After a while, a new cycle began...
Cherish life and stay away from stocks-Li Lin's joke, Roland is very convinced.
The tragedies of these people are all they have asked for. The stock market and gambling are no different. Both are risky speculations. In fact, according to the results of Roland’s private investigation. Nearly 75 stocks on the market are issued by ve companies, but among them At least 60 companies are the same as the Shikoku Railway Company-the only meaning of existence is to scam, sweep all the funds out, and then leave the high debt to investors who cry.
Because these companies are all unlimited liability companies, each share held is responsible for the company’s entire debt-or in other words. The fool who buys the stock of the railway company will not only lose his money. All investments are in the same bubble. Will owe a large amount of money to the bank set up by the consortium. The consortium will be happy to search out all the things they can exchange for.
In fact, they can buy stocks of limited liability companies. It is safer and more secure, and will not cause stock investors to go bankrupt because of the company's failure. But because the dividend is extremely low, and the company is easy to fail, few people will buy this kind of safer. Of stocks.
High-risk, high-yield, high-stimulus-compared to safety, gamblers prefer &; three high &;; even if you send yourself to hell.
Deserve...
But he couldn't utter these ideas. Otherwise, he was greeted by countless white gloves and rotten eggs that demanded a duel, followed by a civil riot.
He can only smile, impeccably elegant smile, perfun these people with nonsense that sounds like &; inside information &;, while the facial muscles are a little stiff.
When the expression muscles were about to cramp, a few Castilians approached.
&; Excellency Governor. &;
The headed middle-aged man bowed deeply to Roland.
&; Underneath is Cavaliers de Pereiro de Valdis. &;
Cavaliers?
Roland was a little stunned. Those who could catch up with him at this banquet were either the general of Titans or the staff of the Governor's Palace, or else the higher lord.
The people who deliberately take the initiative to come up, do not care about the etiquette, the strong background is strong. Otherwise. It is the ambition who is aware of the dissatisfaction of the Governor, but still actively climbing the relationship.
Cavaliers, local heroes, ambitions, Valdis.
The four sets of keywords are automatically formed in Roland's mind to form a family name on the report that is repeatedly marked with &; needs attention &;.
&;Oh, Baldiss, is there anything that Qing can do for you?&;
Holding a crystal goblet, Roland said the man's name.
In Castile, the Valdis family is famous. The current owner, Diego Flores de Valdis, the glorious Knight of Santiago, the guardian of the Strait of Magalia, invincible Fleet Fleet Chief of Staff Headquarters. Taking the credit of the subordinates, so as to promote the villain to the high position, and at the same time be a traitor to the Titans.
With the support of the Chief of Staff, Charlemagne deployed to the army of Castile, the movement of the invincible fleet, the movement of the prince and aristocracy were well aware, and through his development in Ursalia a lot of approval. Friendly and friendly people-Charlieman's military and political officials naturally want to be kind to them.
Even if it is just a trivial knight, it also represents the intention of this family and needs to be treated with caution.
&; Yes, there is actually a gift, please accept it from the Governor General. For this reason, even if you know that it is rude, you still disturb it. Although it is a trivial thing, if the Governor General can accept it, it is a supreme honor. .&;
With a smile that didn't seem to be flattering, Perello raised his chest.
The hall gradually quieted down, and the guests stopped talking and laughing, and were countless interested. [,! ]'S eyes came to focus. Roland, who felt these eyes, endured some kind of unpredictable hunch, and at the same time issued "Oh, that's really anticipating."
&;In addition to governing the jurisdiction, the most important responsibility of the Governor is too much to continue the sacred bloodline. Then, after Lord Roland and Her Royal Highness gave birth to the heirs who inherited the blood of the royal family, the next step is to have children who can inherit the cause of the consortium. In my humble opinion, it is necessary to marry the'side room' as soon as possible.&;
The hypocritical smile instantly petrified, and cold sweat kept pouring out of the body.
This... this group of troublesome bastards! !
What is this? I think he is not chaotic enough, and want to use the method of sending women to start chaos, so that he can die with a hatchet? Do these people want to rebel?!
The sweaty Roland was preparing to quit, but the red-faced Perero Knight did not give him a chance. He continued his offensive.
&; Speaking of it, our Baldis family is not talented, although the lineage can not be compared with the blood of the sacred and noble golden iris, but it also inherits the blood of a little bit of the Castilian royal family, and the sister comes today with the next , The opportunity is rare, I want to introduce the younger sister to Lord Roland.&;
Even if a brothel recommends a woman, she will say a few words first, but Perello Cavaliers recommended it so straightforwardly.
&; Then, please allow me to introduce. This is my sister, named Maria. &;
&;The little girl Maria Baldis, the Governor-General, can meet you and be terrified.&;
Standing out from behind the Knight of Perello, bowing with perfect manners is a young girl with long blond hair tied into a ponytail. The skin is healthy and rosy, the chest and hips are slightly lacking in plumpness, but the waist is very slender. Regardless of body or appearance, The girls whom Roland knows are not lost.
But this is too explicit!
Thinking about how to block the excessive turbulent enthusiasm, the knights behind him also gathered up.
&;Governor, the daughter of the condescensor is also fortunate to be here today...&;
&;Master Roland, this is the granddaughter underneath...&;
&;Master Roland, this is my sister...&;
Roland, who had suffered a violent blind attack, sighed in his heart for the first few times.
Forgive me, really, please.
