Chapter 4256 4258 [Real Party]
The two things Xiang Nan ordered were then implemented.
After all, there are so many celebrities and dignitaries on the ship. If something really happened, White Star Line would not be able to bear it.
At that time, the compensation alone would bankrupt the company.
Moreover, if an accident really happened and caused casualties, White Star Line's image in the upper class would be gone.
No rich person would use their ships again. In this way, they can only close down.
Because high-end cruise ships make money by first-class and second-class passengers. A first-class passenger costs hundreds of pounds, while a third-class passenger only costs a few pounds, which is dozens of times the difference.
Just like airlines also make money by first-class and business-class cabins, while economy class can only break even, so shipping companies pay attention to top customers.
So compared to grabbing news and grabbing page space, it is naturally better to arrive in New York safely.
After the ship slows down, and the lookout gets an infrared night vision telescope, it can also see farther. Even if an iceberg is found, it can be avoided in time, which greatly enhances the safety of navigation.
...
Next, the dinner continued.
However, no one had the leisure to eat, drink, or chat, but gathered around Xiang Nan.
"Mr. Dawson, where did you learn magic from?" Madeline asked curiously.
"This is an ancestral talent. My ancestor is Merlin Ambrosius. After assisting King Arthur to ascend the throne, he retired to the mountains, married and had children." Xiang Nan explained, "His descendants inherited his magic talent and obtained his magic heritage.
I guess this magic talent should be derived from bloodline. But because each subsequent generation is combined with ordinary people, the bloodline is getting thinner and thinner, and not everyone can inherit the magic talent.
My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather did not inherit this talent, so he chose to come to America to develop during the Age of Discovery and changed his surname to Dawson.
But I didn't expect that in my generation, perhaps because of atavism, my magic talent has returned, so I inherited the magic of my ancestor Merlin."
When everyone heard this, they were amazed and nodded.
European nobles are superstitious about bloodline theory. After all, they also rely on bloodline to inherit titles and wealth.
...
"Mr. Dawson, can you really fly?" Guggenheim asked curiously.
Xiang Nan smiled and floated gently.
Everyone saw this and praised it again and again.
Then Xiang Nan flashed to the other side like a ghost, and then flashed back again.
"Wow~" Everyone exclaimed, the speed was so fast that they couldn't see clearly.
"Mr. Dawson, are you interested in working in our company? I can give you an annual salary of 100,000 pounds." At this time, Strauss, the founder of Macy's, suddenly spoke.
Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it, "Mr. Strauss, thank you for your kindness. But, for someone like me, do you think I will be short of money? I can get gold at any time."
As he said, he pointed at the glass. The glass suddenly became golden, shining, and extremely gorgeous. It was a beautiful golden cup at first glance.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and then they all looked at Strauss and laughed.
He actually wanted to hire a wizard with money, which was ridiculous.
"Mr. Dawson, my granddaughter Andrea Astor VI is very beautiful. Are you interested in meeting her after getting off the ship?" At this moment, Astor IV suddenly said.
"John, you are too cunning~" Everyone scolded when they heard it.
If bribery fails, turn to seduction? Moreover, he wants to keep the magic talent in the hands of the Astor family through marriage. He is too calculating.
"Mr. Dawson, don't believe what old John said. I have seen his granddaughter, and she is not beautiful at all. But my daughter is very beautiful. Do you want to consider it?" Mr. Guggenheim said.
"My granddaughter is called the French Rose. She is a truly beautiful person. Do you want to consider my granddaughter?" Baron Cosmo also smiled.
Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, I have no plans to get married for the time being. Besides, I won't stay in the secular world for a long time.
I boarded the ship this time just to prevent the ship from sinking. After the ship docks, I will say goodbye to you all. You will never see me again."
Hearing him say this, everyone felt a pity.
"Child, where will you go?" Mrs. Brown asked curiously.
"There is no fixed destination. I think I will travel around the world." Xiang Nan smiled, "North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, Antarctica, Arctic... There are always some places in the world that I haven't been to, and there are always some scenery that I haven't appreciated..."
Hearing him say this, everyone is very yearning.
It's really amazing to be able to travel the world as you please.
You know, even the rich nobles in this era can't go wherever they want.
First of all, transportation is inconvenient. There are no airplanes at this stage, and ocean travel can only be done by ship, which takes a long time; secondly, they are not as free as Xiang Nan, and these nobles and wealthy merchants also need to take care of investments and businesses.
"Okay, everyone, I'm very happy to meet you tonight." Xiang Nan smiled, "But it's getting late, please excuse me~"
As he said, he suddenly disappeared.
When everyone saw him, they were all stunned, and then they hurried to look for him, but they couldn't find him anywhere.
...
Just when everyone was panicking, Rose suddenly heard a voice ringing in her ears, "Do you want to go to a real party?"
When Rose heard this, she was immediately delighted and nodded immediately.
Then, she completely disappeared.
But everyone was busy looking for Xiang Nan, so no one noticed her.
Rose immediately felt her hand being held by someone, pulling her out of the banquet hall.
After leaving the banquet hall, Xiang Nan helped her lift the phantom spell, and then took her to the third class cabin.
In the mobile home here, people are singing and dancing to celebrate the golden night, which is full of joy and lively atmosphere.
This is mainly because the United States had a developed economy at that time and the economic growth rate was extremely fast. Therefore, many people got rich. This also made everyone who immigrated to the country full of hope and fantasies about a better life in the future.
Because of this, everyone is very happy. Just like the mood of students going to college in the 1980s.
"The party in the first-class cabin is too depressing. It's better to be more lively and cheerful here." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
When Rose saw the people attending the third class cabin, everyone's face was filled with happiness and bright smiles, and they were singing and dancing happily, and she couldn't help but be deeply affected.
"Come on, let's dance together." Xiang Nan invited with a smile.
"I can't." Rose watched them swinging and waved her hands.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take you and dance to the rhythm." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "The dance steps are not important, the key is to be happy."
Hearing what he said, Rose nodded with a smile and followed Xiang Nan onto the dance floor.
