After returning to Port Saite for a week, Leo could feel that all the eyes and ears around him disappeared, which made him press the idea that he was prepared to take a little measure in his heart, waiting for the subsequent development.
In fact, the second day after he came back, he felt that there were a lot of spies around his apartment, and from the conversation and conflicts of those spies, he knew that these spies were all the powers of Port Sait, and some of them were only for Leo This cash-rich upstart in Hong Kong is curious, and more because of the hiring of Sanjes, they are all considering whether to deal with Leo, and whether they will get Duke of Buckingham after Leo approval.
Leo originally thought that these people would start soon. He also decided that as long as these people started, he would fight back, and he would fight back in the most fierce way to solve this matter completely.
But what he didn't think was that those people had no intention of starting, but just put various eyes and ears around Leo, and even blatantly sent some poor monitors, as if he wanted to let Leo know that someone was monitoring him.
Leo didn't like this feeling of being watched very much. He felt that he would find an opportunity to visit the controllers behind these eyes and ears one by one to solve the matter completely, but these people took the initiative to retreat.
This situation made Leo think of the Duke of Buckingham. It seems that only the Duke of Buckingham can affect so many dignitaries in Seth Port. This also makes him feel that it will not take long. Maybe he will see the Duke of Buckingham, the Kingdom of England. The most powerful power.
Nelson and Catherine returned two days ago. They had received a telegram from Jason before they knew that Leo had returned to Port Saite, so they came to Leo’s apartment as soon as they returned. Meet Leo.
Compared to Jason, Leo and Nielsen are not so deep, just good friends, and after so many years, the relationship between the two has become a lot colder, so the two did not seem too enthusiastic when they met , Just talked to each other about these years of experience.
Because of his relationship as a member of the City Council over the years, Nielsen’s speech and behavior have changed greatly from the past. He is no longer just a doctor, but more like a politician. He understands that Leo still has a lot of money. Later, Leo was invited to join some of his business plans.
Leo didn't have much thought about Nelson's change. In his opinion, people like Jason have changed after a few years, not to mention Nelson, so he didn't feel any regrets.
Compared to Nielsen, Catherine remained unchanged. She was still the Catherine doctor in Cangcheng. When talking, she talked more about her development of the nurse school.
In conversations with the Nielsens, Leo has never heard anything about the Royal Medical College of the Kingdom of England from the two populations, but it is not difficult to see from their relaxed expressions that the medical school's affairs should already be in sight.
After two days, the Nielsens and Mrs. Leo successively placed Leo several times, these times mainly Nielsen introduced his business plan and some plan information, which were purely official matters. So he took the business plan seriously, and helped Nielsen solve some of the loopholes in the plan, and invested part of it.
The investment in Nielsen’s business plan is just one of the dozen investments he made this week. Even if he invested so much, he still has hundreds of thousands of cash. Even if those investments are lost, so much money can still be able to Support him to live a very luxurious life.
It's just that the dozens of investments he made are all fine assets with great potential that he carefully selected and found. There are fleets, medicines, and industries. The reason why he made these investments is not simple. The simple bill is to make money, and more importantly, it is convenient for him to obtain the medicinal materials needed for alchemy, the materials needed to make machine tools, and so on.
For example, in his investment, there are three state-of-the-art pharmaceutical manufacturing plants. All three factories have the support of the medical school. It is only because the medical school has surrendered its power under the attack of the Kingdom of England, and it has taken over People didn't pay much attention to the three pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, so they listed them for sale.
Although promoted by the medical school, the Velon world has begun to accept proprietary medicines, and because of its low price, highly respected by civilians, but for those relatively wealthy middle-class and real rich people, the kind of cheap bottles The stuffed medicines are not credible at all. They usually have their own private doctors and private clinics. The medicines they need for treatment are all prepared separately according to the situation of the person.
It is precisely because of this mentality that no one has been interested for half a year since the three medical production factories of the medical school were listed, and finally Leo built a cheap one.
After Leo acquired these three pharmaceutical factories, they did not integrate them, but still let the original team of the factory continue to work, making some pills for ordinary people, but he gave them to the technical department of each factory. Provided a modified prescription. These three prescriptions are anthelmintic, seasickness motion sickness medicine and ordinary refreshing medicine.
Leo, who has a high level of alchemy, wants to improve these three medicines. The medicines made by these three prescriptions are much better than the original ones, and because of the reduced manufacturing process, plus the use of Medicinal materials are also reduced, so the cost has been reduced a lot, and the price is low enough to make the slums affordable.
Therefore, only three days after the factory opened, these three pharmaceutical factories accounted for nearly 60% of the market share of these three drugs in the Port of Saite, and the share of this share is still increasing. The strength of a commercial vessel full of similar drugs is believed to increase the share of the three types of drugs in other countries.
However, the main task of these three pharmaceutical factories is not to produce cheap common drugs and occupy the civilian drug market share, but to borrow the medicinal material purchase channels they have developed over the years to collect all kinds of materials needed by Leo Alchemy for Leo. .
In addition to these three pharmaceutical companies in his hands, there are six or seven mechanical factories in which he shares, and he also provided some mechanical manufacturing drawings and parts manufacturing processes to these mechanical factories to enhance the strength of the factory and replace him. Manufacture some parts needed by mechanical institutions.
However, as he expected, the mechanical parts produced by these vinylon worlds are far from comparable to those manufactured by the town of Lake Town in Dream World. The power used to manufacture mechanical institutions is much less powerful and can only be used with various The rune magic circle came to use, but the power was still amazing. Several times he exploded a big hole in his laboratory inlaid with steel plates.
I have to say that Sanjas has a very good working ability. After Leo put forward the requirements for the laboratory, he found a suitable construction company the next day, transformed the apartment building, and under the supervision of money, It took only three days to complete the renovation of the entire apartment. In addition to transforming the room above the study into a closed secret room dedicated to the study of witchcraft, three basements were dug in the basement of the apartment, and in accordance with the requirements of Leo, inlaid steel plates were used for alchemy and mechanical manufacturing between.
In addition, because of some special requirements of Leo, Sanjas helped Leo buy some things that ordinary stores cannot buy. For example, this set of very complete and professional wizards used by Leo for alchemy Pharmaceutical workbench and tools.
"Where did you buy it from?" Looking at the workbench and tools in front of him, Leo looked at Sanjas curiously.
He originally wanted to let Sanjes find him a construction worker who repaired the laboratory steel plate. Unexpectedly, Sanjes not only found the workers, but also brought a set of wizard workbenches and symbols that made him unexpected. Text inscription tool.
This set of alchemy workbench and rune inscription tool is not antique, and it is newly made. The material is steel bone armor, and there are mechanical control devices to adjust the workbench, and the producer also engraved his own on the workbench. Trademark symbols, it seems that this workbench is in mass production.
After seeing this workbench and tools, Leo couldn't help but doubt that his time to leave the world of Velon was not half a year, but decades, hundreds of years, the time was so rare that the wizards who had only hidden in the dark had begun Standing on the bright side, opening a shop and building a factory.
"Black market." Sanjas simply replied.
"Do you know where is the black market in Port Saite?" Leo was stunned, but soon thought of Sanjas' past identity, he asked himself and answered: "Of course, you certainly know where the black market is, after all, you Just by the Duke of Buckingham, I must have seen a lot of amazing people and things. No wonder when I asked you to find someone to renovate the house, you just asked me a little bit and I was able to remodel the house to suit me so much. It seems that you have had similar experience before."
Sanjes looked at Leo expressionlessly and said, "Sir, you don't need to tentatively, I won't tell you about His Royal Highness."
"Hehe!" Leo smiled awkwardly.
In fact, in these days he has tried more than once to extract some things about the Duke of Buckingham from Sanjas through other methods. Originally, he was not interested in the details of the Duke of Buckingham, but when he learned that the Duke of Buckingham could affect most of the powers of Port Sait so easily, the precautionary mentality made him always subconsciously want to collect some With regard to the Duke of Buckingham, to understand the Duke of Buckingham, so that in the future, he will be able to make correct judgments and decisions.
Although Sanjas behaved very professionally and never mentioned everything about the Duke of Buckingham, under Leo’s guidance, some of Sanjay’s behavior still revealed a lot of secrets about the Duke of Buckingham.
For example, the Duke of Buckingham also has extraordinary influence in the underground world of Weilun, and in his hands there may be a powerful team composed of family members and extraordinary human beings, and the Duke of Buckingham himself may not be an ordinary ordinary person. He is likely to be a clan of some gods, or perhaps a powerful person with extraordinary powers like a wizard.
The reason for this conclusion is that Leo’s current collection of data can see some clues, but he will be sure that this is due to a message unintentionally exposed by Sanjas.
"If you have nothing else, then I'll go down and arrange the new servants and maids." Sanjes doesn't want to stay with Leodo because he is worried that he will be guided by Leo again. Reveal some things that should not be said, so he will reduce the number of words as much as possible, and will not say an extra nonsense.
"Can you tell me the location of the black market?" Leo asked, adding: "If this matter involves the secret of the Duke of Buckingham, there is no need to tell."
Sanders was silent for a moment, and it seemed that he wanted to tell whether the location of the black market would reveal some information about the Duke of Buckingham. After repeated confirmation, he found that the location of the black market would not have any impact on the Duke of Buckingham, so He quickly took out the paper and pen, wrote an address on the paper and the method of passing through the entrance, gave it to Leo, and then turned away from the basement.
Leo looked at the note in his hand and frowned, and said to himself: "The garden cemetery? This is really an interesting place."
The early residents of Port Sait were the Mona native to the Inge Islands~EbookFREE.me~ They are actually descendants of the fleeing slaves of the French Empire a long time ago. After they fled to the Inge Islands, they gradually developed and formed a Tribes of different sizes, and created a funeral ritual that was completely different from the French Empire. This ritual has no real name. The descendants just remember the name given to this ritual by a poet in the past. This name is the garden cemetery.
The Mona believed that their loved ones would not disappear after death, but would remain in the form of souls next to their graves for a long time, so the Mona simply transformed their graves into gardens, and those buried corpses The tombs were placed in the excavated burial chambers, usually one family and one burial chamber, and a person was arranged to add fish oil needed for the burial chamber to be illuminated.
Usually the tomb is not opened during the day, no one will enter except the tomb keeper, but at night, people can enter the tomb to visit their loved ones and talk with their relatives’ souls, because this kind of activity only occurs at night, And those who enter the tomb will carry two oil lamps and appear in groups, so those who first saw this scene thought they were performing some kind of mysterious religious ceremony.
With the subsequent landing of the British royal family in the archipelago and the conquest of the archipelago, the Mona people gradually integrated into the new English people who moved here from France. The funeral ceremony in the same garden cemetery was also integrated into the tombs of the English people. Among them, and has become a very important national custom.
