Chapter 188 Baroness Alice
"Does that hot spring really relieve fatigue and whiten the skin?" Mrs. Smith did not agree immediately, but asked curiously.
Her eyes, which were full of crow's feet but more charming, flashed with expectation.
No woman would not care about her skin, especially an older woman.
"I don't know, I haven't tried it. But Luther promised solemnly, it should be okay." Alice shrugged. If she were in front of others, she would definitely lie with her eyes open, but in front of her grandmother who loved her the most, she told the truth.
"Maybe it's just a gimmick." Mrs. Smith obviously lacked trust in Luther, whom she had never met, but she also felt that if it was a gimmick, this gimmick was still okay.
At least Mrs. Smith, although she was skeptical about the efficacy of the hot spring, decided to go and soak in the resort if it opened.
"Okay, if there is a party or a girlfriend's event recently, I will promote it." Mrs. Smith patted the back of Alice's hand and promised.
Regardless of whether this hot spring has therapeutic effects or not, it can be used as a publicity gimmick. The key is that the vacation mode, hotel mode, and gathering social mode of the hot spring resort are all very good.
For the idle nobles, it is a good place to go on vacation.
In this case, the therapeutic effect of the hot spring is actually irrelevant. For the nobles, socializing and accumulating connections are the most important.
Besides, Mrs. Smith really loves Alice very much. Looking at Alice, she will think of her daughter who died early. She is really loving and distressed.
Since Alice has invested all her belongings in it, she has to help.
However, helping is helping, and Mrs. Smith is also very interested in the development of a metropolis. Mrs. Smith asked: "That Luther, does Pompeii really have the ability to develop a metropolis?"
She admitted that with the help of the Morgan family, Alice, and Kuba and Brown, the success rate of the resort project is very high.
But she is skeptical about the Pompeii family's plan to develop a metropolis.
That involves all aspects of the problem, not only financial resources, but also influence and political issues.
"I think the possibility is still very high. My father is a mediocre baron and will not stop his subordinates from rising. Besides, my father has a very good relationship with the contemporary Pompeii knight, Sol, and Pompeii. If the Pompeii family really wants to become a top knight family, or even a noble, he doesn't care. On the contrary, because of the relationship between the two families, if the Pompeii family rises, it will also be good for the Barton family. It will allow the Barton family to gain more say in Orange. It is politically feasible. As for the influence and financial issues, I trust Luther Pompeii more. This guy is an excellent lord."
At this time, Alice lost a lot of little girl's behavior and turned into a female politician, analyzing it clearly.
Mrs. Smith still trusts Alice's vision. She is a person who is good at observing a person, especially a man.
When men are fascinated by her appearance and charm, she has already seen a man from the inside out.
This is her granddaughter, the famous Miss Alice Barton.
"Since you said so, I am also very interested in the development of the Pompeii metropolis." Mrs. Smith narrowed her eyes and said.
As the current main power holder of the Habsburg family, Mrs. Smith has always been very interested in making money.
The development of a metropolis is definitely not something that can be done by capital. If the Orange Group develops a resort, it will indeed have unlimited potential in the future.
But since the resort has invested 1.3 million gold coins, the Orange Group will not be able to take out too many gold coins in a short period of time.
At most, it can free up the annual profit for the development of the city. Coupled with the strength of the Pompeii family, developing a city will still be like a turtle, and the speed will be very slow.
More capital power must be brought in.
Luther knows this, Alice knows it, Amanda knows it, and of course, Mrs. Smith will know it.
And the profit of developing a city, hehe.
"There should be a plan to introduce capital at that time. Perhaps this plan will be carried out when the hot spring resort opens. After all, many Orange rich people should flock in at that time."
Alice revealed the bottom to Mrs. Smith.
"It seems I should go." Mrs. Smith said with a chuckle.
After talking about business, Mrs. Smith became concerned about the Barton family.
"By the way, I heard that the first vassal of your Barton family, the heir of the Gandal family, was murdered not long ago. How is the investigation going now?"
Mrs. Smith asked.
When she heard about it, Mrs. Smith was really shocked because she heard that her lovely granddaughter Alice was also present at the time.
"The progress of the investigation is minimal. Poor Mousse, Gandal died in vain." Alice shook her head. Although she said poor Mousse Gandal, there was no sadness on Alice's face.
Because she is not too familiar with Mousse and Gandal. The arrogant Miss Alice will not be sad about this.
"I think this matter is related to your excellent brother." Mrs. Smith said.
"Lucy, Barton?" Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, like a cunning fox.
"Babana, although Knight Gandal has several children, he is the only son. If Knight Gandal has no heir, who will inherit the title?" Mrs. Smith asked.
"Babana, Gandal has a younger brother." Alice said, and then without Mrs. Smith's analysis, she said: "And that younger brother, Mr., has a very harmonious relationship with my brother Lucy, Barton. And if my excellent brother wants to compete for the position of heir, getting the support of Knight Gandal is a very powerful help."
"But all this is your guess, grandma."
Alice looked up at Mrs. Smith.
"Guessing is the beginning of reality." Mrs. Smith smiled and shook her head. At this moment, she seemed like a wise man who had experienced many hardships.
"By the way, are you not interested in the Baron family's title? If you are interested, I will support you to become a baroness."
Mrs. Smith said half jokingly and half seriously.
This world is a very strange world. The nobility is based on the eldest son inheritance system. The second son has a slim chance, but the eldest daughter can usually get a share.
If Alice has a huge force behind her, and Alice herself is a tyrannical female knight, there is a certain chance to become a baroness.
Just like the famous Tulip Marquis.
"I am not interested in ruling a territory." Miss Alice shrugged rudely, expressing her disdain.
"Alas." Mrs. Smith sighed and expressed regret.
