Chapter 878: Infiltrate (2/2)

"Of course it is not a commercial activity like ours, but the relationship between the Silver Empire and the Cecilians is indeed very close," Earl Hallmark said seriously. "I heard the news from the Kingdom of Gaoling. When the countries worked together to repair the magnificent wall, the elves and the Cecil came together. Of course, the waste soil hindered their direct business activities, and only a few commodities would pass through the long land trade route from the moss forest. Set off, pass through the territory of gray elves and orcs and goblins, through the rift valley in the southwest of the mainland and the edge of the forest of the Gaoling Kingdom, and finally enter the territory of elves ... "

Speaking of which, the middle-aged nobleman frowned and gently turned the wine glass in his hand: "This kind of circulation does not scale, and it does not pose a threat to us commercially, but who knows what will happen in the future? Cecil? People are too good at creating unexpected things, and their efforts to maintain contact with elves are bound to make a plan for the future. "

The slightly frivolous smile of Viscount Hemir was slowly put away. He stood up from the sofa, pacing slowly while thinking, and after two circles, he returned to his place and took a sip. After the wine, he finally said as if he had made up his mind: "It looks like ... the market in the southern part of the mainland will become a battlefield sooner or later ..."

"Even if the Cecilians do not intervene, the market in the southern part of the mainland will become a battlefield. Hemir, you should know how much our factory can produce in a day-short-sighted people only want to sell those things to them. Neighbors and countrymen, but people with long-term vision will realize that the farther the goods are sold, the more long-term and generous benefits they bring. "

Earl Hallmark said, smiling at Hemir.

"Hemir, we have opened the road to the Kingdom of Kaolin and the Silver Empire. The Southern Investment Company of the Empire has begun to grab gold, just like every new field, the first person who has a firm foothold in it is always Will earn the biggest benefit. "

"Of course," Hemir put down his wine glass, and he sighed softly, with a sunny smile on his face again, "So I am willing to support your 'Southern Investment Company', and I am willing to invest 100,000 in the early days ... No, £ 150,000. Mr. Earl, I believe you will make good use of the money. "

"Hemir, my friend, you can wait for a generous return at home," Hallmark stood up. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Hemir. "Shareholder earnings will prove your keen eye today. "

Hemir also stretched out his hand and took the thin, thin palm of Earl Hallmark: "Actually, I don't have a keen eye, I just found a trick and kept insisting on following it--"

"Oh?" Hallmark couldn't help wondering, "Will you share this know-how with your new business partner?"

"It's simple-I do whatever the Cecil people do," Viscount Hemir laughed. "They invest everywhere, and I do what they do-in this era of new things and new fields everywhere, I do n’t need to be the first, just the second is enough. "

Hallmark looked at the young Viscount who was smiling happily for a moment.

After a pleasant conversation, the noble star, who had been in the limelight in the past two years, left.

Earl Hallmark, with a thin figure, a tall nose, and light blonde hair, returned to the reception room, looking at the two wine glasses on the small round table and the sofa that the Earl Hemir had sat on, the expression on his face did not change. , But still could not help mumbling: "Hey, impetuous young man ..."

The servant walked into the room and began to clean up the contents of the room, but the housekeeper also came in and waited for the master's further instructions.

"What kind of person do you think Viscount Hemir is?" Hallmark turned his head and looked at the old housekeeper who had served himself for many years and asked casually.

"I shouldn't evaluate a nobleman." The butler responded meticulously.

"An impetuous young man, but his talent can not be ignored," Earl Hallmark didn't care about how the butler responded, but said self-confidently. "In a few years he became the richest person in the young generation of nobility It ’s not because of luck—although many people think he just met the craftsman named Martin with luck and the Angler loom. ”

Speaking of which, Earl Hallmark couldn't help but shook his head: "I admire such young people, but like other young people, he only focuses on what he is interested in, and as a nobleman of Tifeng, He told Cecil ... what is this? "

His eyes were suddenly attracted by what a servant was picking up from the table and could not help asking aloud-it looked like a thin book with a colorful cover and it looked very cheap The way of binding, he didn't see the letters on the cover until after the servant brought the things--

"Magic Life"

"Magazine ..." Hallmark is not an obscure person. He recognized that this thin book is actually a "magazine" that has gradually become popular in recent years, but this magazine is not a subscription in his house. "Yes Has Viscount Hemir fallen? "

The butler glanced over and nodded: "It looks like it is."

"A decent aristocrat would probably not care about this kind of thing, but then send someone to send it to him," Hallmark said as he took the magazine and flipped through the first few pages of it, "Well ... … This was done by the Cecil? ”

"Yes, sir," the housekeeper replied, "This is a magazine recently run by several Cecil businessmen, and it introduces the lifestyle of the magic age-of course, mainly to introduce the lifestyle of Cecil. This In two months it was very popular among the decent civic class because many of the magic devices mentioned in the magazine are popular products on the market. "

"Decent citizens ..."

"Yes, decent citizens who can buy a magic guide freezer a year, such as lawyers and doctors. Of course, many young nobles also like this kind of magazines-they like those novel and interesting machines."

Earl Hallmark yelled, then asked casually, "Is anyone in this house subscribed to it?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Mr. Richard is subscribing to it-he has often mentioned to people recently that he has a plan to add a magic player to his home ..."

"Tell Mr. Richard-and others, if they bring something similar to this house, then they can cancel all shopping plans," the count said without expression. "We are not without our own magazine."

"……Yes, sir."
