Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World - Chapter 585

It was already very late at night. In a manor in the southwestern suburbs of Jingyao, most of the lights in the buildings had been extinguished. Among the few remaining lights, there was a light from a room on the second floor of the main house of the manor. It was Gerd Rodney’s room.

The owner of the room is sitting on the sofa, carefully reading a stack of documents in this hand, his eyebrows sometimes stretch, sometimes furrowed, showing the ups and downs of the owner’s inner emotions.

Just as he put down a piece of paper and was about to read the next one, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in!”

The rooms were opened, and the footsteps of two people reached Gerd’s ears.

He put down the documents in his hand, stood up, and said to the person: “Father, brother, are you back?”

“Yes, we’re back. When I entered the gate, I found your room was still lighted. I just wanted to come in and see what you were doing. I don’t think you will mind.”

The first short and fat figure said that he was Gerd’s father, Prince Jasim Rodney, younger brother of the current king of Aldo, and the tall and thin figure following him was Gerd’s younger brother, Jasim Rodney. Sim’s second son, Eureko Rodney.

“Dear father, dear brother, of course I don’t mind. But, didn’t you go to the all-night banquet, didn’t you need to come back at dawn?” Gerd opened his hands to welcome.

“Oh, forget about that **** party.”

Yuriko raised his arms and complained: “Someone got drunk and played crazy at the banquet, which ruined the atmosphere of the entire banquet, so we came back early.”

Gerd teased his younger brother, “That’s really unfortunate! I remember you are planning to use this banquet to court a certain girl?”

Yuriko spread his hands and said helplessly: “I can only wait for the next opportunity.”

Prince Jassim came to the eldest son, saw the stack of documents on the table near him, and picked up one, “What are you looking at?”

Gerd replied, “Oh, here are the revenue statistics for the last few factories that have opened.”

Yuriko leaned over and looked at the paper with his father, only to see that it was filled with neat forms filled with some words or numbers that he didn’t quite understand. In some places, other patterns are interspersed, such as wavy lines or patterns that look like sliced ​​pizza.

Yuriko looked puzzled: “What are these? It looks like the evil magic runes depicted in the novel.”

Gerd shook his head, he was a little helpless for this younger brother who fits the description of “ignorant”, “Yuriko, if a scholar who studies mathematics sees this piece of paper, even if he has never touched it , and can guess what he does based on his knowledge, I often advise you to get in touch with this great subject that understands the essence of the world, but you…”

Yuriko held his head and begged for mercy: “Oh! Please forgive me, my dear brother, my head hurts when I think of those inexplicable formulas and numbers. Our surname is Rodney, isn’t it? The mission we were born with is Domination rather than research.”

Gerd frowned: “Sooner or later, your personality will suffer a lot.”

“Well, I don’t want to see my two sons arguing in front of me. If you have to quarrel, go to a place where I can neither see nor hear.”

Prince Jassim put a stop to the brothers’ argument.

He looked at his eldest son, “Dear Gerd, how about those things you brought back from the Northwest Bay? It seems that you take it seriously, and you are still dealing with things in the factory at such a late hour.”

Hearing his father’s question, Gerd’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Oh, father. The technology and equipment that Earl Graham gave us are really useful, and they have already begun to generate profits for us. Paper, canned food, the market’s demand for them seems to be inexhaustible, not to mention salt , it can even be paid to our army as a military salary, and the yellow carriage is also very popular among the nobles, and it is placed in briquettes…”

Just when Gerd wanted to list them one by one, he was stopped by his father, “Okay, okay, if it is useful, you don’t have to introduce it to me in such detail.” Prince Jassim narrowed his eyes, There was a smile on his face, he hadn’t seen his son so excited for a long time.

“Okay, but you must listen to this number.” Gerd held up the paper in his hand, “If everything goes well and our revenue can grow according to the current trend, the new technology from the Northwest Gulf will give us a huge boost next year. We brought in an income of 500,000 silver shields, which is the net profit after deducting various expenses.”

“5…500,000 silver shields?” Sure enough, as Gerd expected, his father’s eyes widened.

This is undoubtedly a huge amount of income. As the younger brother of the king, Prince Jassim knew that the annual income of the royal family was around 5 million silver shields last year, but last year was not smooth, with only more than 4 million silver shields. how? Once your several factories are built, can they be worth one-eighth to one-tenth of the income of the royal family?

It’s just unbelievable.

“It’s thanks to Earl Paul Greiman who has paved the way first and cut off all the thorns on the road. According to him, the current market is far from [saturation], so he is happy to let Our partner walks on the road paved by him, sharing his channels and customers. In other words, we are also one of his production bases here, and he also has 20% of the shares here.”

“Partner?” Yuriko snorted at the side, UUReading Book www.uukanshu.com “If I remember correctly, the Greiman family should be the vassals of the royal family—the Schroeder family, right? You can’t help but say that It flatters him too much.”

“Yuriko!” Gerd scolded his younger brother, but he didn’t continue to criticize him, but continued to say to his father.

“Our income will not stop at this income, it will continue to grow. The recent war in the corner of the bay may cause some troubles, but it doesn’t matter. Erdao dealers. And we have also introduced their shipbuilding technology. The traditional shipyard in Westport is being rebuilt, and it can also get a share of the shipbuilding industry. I expect…”

Gerd paused for a few seconds, calculating in his head.

“Five years from now, these new industries will bring us the same income as the royal family’s traditional income – of course, this is an optimistic estimate.”

“Oh!”

Jassim was fascinated by the pies his son drew. Although he didn’t care about the details of the new industry, as long as it could bring profits, it would be good.
