Chapter 202 - 200: Meeting The Merchants III

The next to speak was Scott Russel, "Thomas, why did you have to drop our names? Anyway, Lord Daniel, I am here today because of the new projecton shi+p production is a business engaged in by a lot of merchants, however, I aue on its own The truth is, we're almost done with it and it will be called, the Great Eastern It is an iron sailing steamshi+p which will have the capacity to carry 4,000 passengers that can travel 15,000 kilo Anyway, the problehts on our creation We refuse to be coerced to share it with other nobles who has already partnered with other shi+p building companies If you let us use your name as a business partner, I don't know if there is still a need to swear allegiance because obviously, our shi+p will always sail with your name and will also sink with yours if it ever comes to that"

Charlton could not help but shtforward He did not carry with him any awe for his status, and he was unafraid to express his own opinion "Indeed, you are correct on that note Everyone here will be tying their shi+p with me, and I hope all of you keep that in mind"

"Don't worry Lord Daniel, all of us came here with that already in mind We chose you because of who and what you are You are the only noble ould do this for us and in return, fine, all of us here swear allegiance Anyway, I brought Isaineer orked with me on this project He will also need your protection in a sense that he becoh, Isambard, you explain"

Isaive Scott about his tactlessness" His friend has always been that way since they were younger

Charlton chuckled, "No, it's alright I, myself, am only a student now, and I am flattered that all of you here put this much faith in me"

Isaineer who invents To be honest, unlike everyone here, I have nothing to offer but my profession In this case, what I need is your sponsorshi+p and perhaps someday your recommendation I hope that you would consider"

Charlton thought it over, Isambard may not have reat things If he can engineer a shi+p like what Scott said, then he can do more Thus, he nodded his head "Then, do wait until next year"

Isarinned, "Then er cleared his throat to go next "Well, in comparison to theain, I aer I came from Lombart and would wish to enter theautomobiles It is not my personal invention but by my cousin's husband Karl Benz The reason I am here is because I am aware that importation is not an easy business to enter I plan to stay here in Windsor for good, but that of course would depend on howin my case I can't make further pro here for a long time"

"What does this automobile do?" Charlton wondered Heabout Anyway, one thing he noticed is that roup were innovators Really, the first people to invent stuff and enter the market

"Well, it's a en' in our place I e without a need for a horse to pull it to run It runs with electric ignition, it has differential gears and water cooling Really, it's hard to explain But once I get to iive you one"

Charlton's eyes widened Okay, a carriage without horses? Deyive me one, I will pay for it I don't want you toprofit first"
