Chapter 253 You Can’t Be That Stupid
In the morning.
Pompeii.
The sun is already very hot, and the hot summer has shown its infinite power.
Just walking in this weather will make you sweat profusely, and even get heatstroke. But many workers have to work in such weather.
Because of survival.
For example, the lumberjacks in the north of Pompeii, and the land that has been entrusted to Alice, Amanda, six families and other partners, they have already started to develop real estate, and the construction workers responsible for the construction.
They all work under the scorching sun.
For this matter, Luther came to the city hall to find Lelouch.
The mayor was so hot that he finally opened a second office, taking turns in the morning and afternoon to avoid the scorching sun.
In the morning, he was in the small office.
"Luther, it's useless for you to urge me. I need some time to collect information about the Silver Wing Territory." Lelouch saw Luther coming, and thought it was this matter, and shrugged.
"I came for another thing." Luther said.
"What's the matter?" Lelouch said seriously.
"Although human lives are worthless in this world, the lives of our Pompeii people are more valuable, so I want you to inform our partners and the lumberjacks managed by the city hall to prepare more water and medicine for heatstroke for the workers, and make sure that no one dies from heatstroke."
Luther said.
Lelouch was stunned for a moment, because there would be no lord or city lord in this world who would care about such things. But Lelouch remembered Luther's nickname again.
"The Merciful One."
He was relieved.
Lelouch had to admit that among the lords he had seen, heard, and recorded in some documents in his life so far, Luther was the most merciful and kind one.
"I will send someone to notify them." Lelouch nodded seriously.
At this point, as a lord, Luther would only intervene in some general matters and these things that Lelouch could not think of. Lelouch would handle other things.
This is a qualified mayor.
So Luther said something to Lelouch and then left.
As soon as Luther returned to the castle, he saw an exquisite carriage parked outside the main body of the castle. The carriage was engraved with the emblem of the Libyan family, and Luther knew some of the knights who followed.
"Hello, Mr. Luther."
A senior knight said to Luther very politely.
"Hello, Mecca Knight." Luther also said politely, and then asked, "Is Mr. Al here?"
"Yes, sir." Mecca Knight replied.
Luther smiled, then entered the castle, asked the passing maid, and learned that Mr. Al was on the second floor and was currently being entertained by Old Sol.
Luther went up to the second floor and came to the living room.
When he came to the living room, Old Sol was happily communicating with Mr. Al. In addition, there was another gentleman that Luther did not know.
This is Old Sol's skill, generous and hospitable, this old man can get along well with anyone.
"Luther, I was just about to send someone to tell you." Old Sol said with a smile after seeing Luther.
"Luther." Mr. Al and the stranger stood up.
"You guys chat." Old Sol said and left.
Luther sat in the host seat where Old Sol had just sat, and said to Mr. Al: "Mr. Al, have you decided to invest in Pompeii?"
The last time Mr. Al came to urge the production of Pompeii wine, Luther fooled Mr. Al to invest in real estate in Pompeii.
Last time, Mr. Al said that he would not intervene in unfamiliar businesses and had to go back to ask the relevant personnel. Now that Mr. Al brought back a strange gentleman, Luther guessed the result.
"Yes." Mr. Al nodded with a smile, and then introduced: "This is Mr. Cabe, an investment consultant, he will understand the situation for me."
"Hello, Mr. Luther." Mr. Cabe stood up and bowed.
Mr. Cabe is a gentleman who is well-dressed and has a good temperament. He may also be doing very well in Golden City.
But like the senior knight of Mecca outside the castle, he was very polite to Luther, and even a little humble in his politeness.
There was no way.
Luther was now a prestigious person in the whole Orange, and he was even a new noble in the Golden City. No matter where he was, he had a certain face.
For many people, Luther was already a big shot.
"Hello, Mr. Cabe." Luther did not take his status seriously at all, and he also stood up and bowed.
"If you want to know whether Pompeii is worth developing, it is meaningless to sit here. Gentlemen, follow me." Luther immediately stood up and said.
"Okay."
Mr. Al and Mr. Cabe also stood up and followed. Under the escort of the knights, the group came to the city wall on the west gate of Pompeii.
From here, you can already see the industrial park, which is very prosperous.
Luther said: "It is a newly established industrial park. Currently, the Pompeii wine factory is built there, with 3,000 employees and a monthly production capacity of 500,000 barrels of wine. My plan is to expand the production capacity to one million barrels, which means 6,000 employees are needed. Mr. Al, you are the agent of Pompeii wine in the Earldom of Libya, and you should be very aware of the potential of Pompeii wine."
"Once the sales network of each agent is laid out, there will be absolutely no problem in selling one million barrels per month." Mr. Al said very straightforwardly.
"As for the others, there are Pompeii wheat flour mills, Habsburg's carriages, saddles, and furniture factories. There should be many factories in the future. An industrial zone with a population of more than tens of thousands will be formed."
"In addition to the industrial zone, I will also build an art school in Pompeii, compete with many big cities for students, and then hire many artists to design and build squares and statues throughout the city, making Pompeii a top art city. In addition, Pompeii will be equipped with many top-level enjoyment services, hotels, opera houses, etc."
Luther introduced enthusiastically in a slightly high-pitched voice.
Mr. Al and Mr. Cabbe immediately showed interest on their faces. If Luther's plan was not bragging, it would indeed be a big city.
If you can participate in the real estate development here, there must be great profits.
But Mr. Al and Mr. Cabbe looked at each other, but did not make a decision immediately. Mr. Cabbe bowed to Luther and said, "If possible, I would like to know more detailed city plans."
"You have to ask our mayor about this. I will take you there." Luther said with a smile.
At this time, a guard from the Pompeii family rode up on horseback, panting to the city wall, and said to Luther: "Knight Luther, Knight Thor sent someone to see you."
Luther thought of this guy Newton, and his face changed slightly.
"Gentlemen, I have something to do. This guard will take you to the city hall to meet Mayor Lelouch." Luther said to Mr. Al.
"Please go." Mr. Al said with understanding.
