Chapter 663 Hathaway's Gamble and the Void Consortium

No hesitating to buy materials at a high price, and Sachdon's workshop rushed to work overnight. These measures are indeed wise!

In less than ten days, 160 airships were built, one hundred were given to Bellino, and sixty were given to Myrhoth.Through the delivery service of the Temple of Commerce to deliver the goods to the door, the freight alone cost close to [-] gold bushels.

Originally thought that Mirhos would come out on top, but Bellino was more anxious. On the day he received the spaceship, all of them were dispatched, and Romulus was defeated.

The war between Romulus and Bellino is the focus of the world, and countless surveillance devices have been planted by various forces around the battlefield, including the Ted family.

The battle situation in the afternoon was sent back to the communication tower of the Ted family through the communication channel, and then forwarded to the Storm Islands.Hathaway saw with her own eyes that the flying dragons of Romulus were slapped down one by one by the airship she built like mosquitoes.

Afterwards, the giant dragon and Legend tried to block the flying boat, but in front of the flying boat with a speed of seven to eight hundred kilometers per hour, no matter how strong it was, it was meaningless.Seeing the embarrassment of the dragon and the legend in the sky, Hathaway giggled and was as happy as a child.

When the airship cleared the sky and cooperated with the floating ship to fly over Stone Niu City, the other party took off dozens of propeller planes.

In order to drop bombs more accurately, the floating ship dropped too low, and was almost killed by these planes, and only escaped with the escort of the flying boat.In front of the flying boat, these planes performed much better than the flying dragon, but the ending was the same, they still fell one by one under the flying boat's attack.

Because of the blocking of these planes, the flying boat troops were too exhausted and unable to fight again, which gave Romulus a breathing time.

That's right, now Romulus should understand that the magic plane is just a short-lived thing, right?

The fallen propeller planes announced the shattering of Li Qi's route, and the airship route led by Hathaway is the correct choice to dominate the sky.

Bellino's air combat style performed in the afternoon with airships and flying boats must have spread throughout Finn. This is an advertisement that is more useful than anything else!
Romulus should be more relaxed, Bellino will definitely have additional orders, and Theresia...

It is impossible for the empress not to pay attention to this battle. In order to form the floating fleet, the empress has already invested 6000 to [-] million gold bushels.To ensure that this investment is effective, additional investments must be made.

Great, open the situation...

Hathaway's heart fell to the ground. In order to drive out these 160 airships and provide follow-up airships immediately, the more than 2000 million gold bushels she spent was not in vain.

Aside from the excitement, a trace of doubt still flashed in my heart, why is there no news from Mirhos?
The power of the Ted family has not yet extended to the south of Kester, not to mention seeing the real-time battle situation of Millhouse, and even first-hand information is difficult to obtain. She can only learn about the situation through her agent Steve.

Hathaway also placed spies in the airship mercenary unit organized by Mirhos, but they did not give them real-time contact tools for safety.Hathaway only knew that Millhouse would attack today, and the specific situation had to wait for the post-war spies to find an opportunity to report.

But it's already night...

Whatever comes to mind, Steve returns.

"Nice job Steve!"

Hearing Steve talk about Romulus' request, Hathaway rarely praised him.This guy who doesn't have much talent in magic, but is good at communication and drilling, can only be of value in his own hands.

"Fifty ships in three days, and 150 ships in the next half a month, no problem! You can talk about the price carefully, we have to make money with these flying ships."

Hathaway made up her mind to say this. It seems that the Phantom project has to be temporarily suspended, and the manpower must be drawn out to earn enough votes first!
"What about Belino? Very good, let him realize that Romulus cannot be killed with a hundred flying ships..."

"Indeed, he will be very annoyed if he finds out that we are selling flying boats. He cares more about this kind of thing than Romulus. How about this, I will set up a vest firm on the side of the Dawn Empire, and find another agent to contact him. The flying boat sold to Bellino will also be changed. Don't worry, this new agent is under your jurisdiction."

"Will there be at least a hundred more? Very well, I will prepare them in advance, so that Bellino can have them if he wants."

"When Romulus starts to receive the second batch of airships, you will take the opportunity to encourage him... Well, it depends on the specific situation."

After a rough calculation, Romulus and Bellino alone will buy at least [-] airships within a month, which is enough to earn back the current capital. The smile on Hathaway's face can't be restrained no matter what.

Although compared with the assets owned by the family, the ten-million-level golden purr is just a drop in the bucket, but even the queen is worried about this level of golden purr. It is really a sense of accomplishment to be able to stir up such a situation.

"After this battle, other magician families will also notice the flying boat, especially those small and medium-sized families who are unable to compete for the floating ship market. They will follow suit and want to get a share of the flying boat tide."

"At that time, I will learn from Rowena, first lower prices to suppress the market, and then gradually retreat behind the scenes, only selling key components, so that I can rule the entire airship market. In addition to the airship market, what is Rowena, she can only earn a year. Only a few thousand gold bushels."

"There's something wrong with your mentality...be calm..."

Hathaway suppressed Piaofei's thoughts in time and asked about the situation of Mirhos.

"This one……"

Steve hesitated for a moment, but returned honestly: "There seems to be something wrong with Millhouse's lair in the southeast of Kester, and there is no definite news from various channels. I'm done."

Hathaway's heart sank again: "What? Mirhos is finished!? What about our flying boat?"

Steve timidly said: "I have received news that a fierce battle took place in the sky in the west of Kester, near the Scorched Stone Field in the afternoon. I don't know the details, but I haven't received any response from the airship troops. It should be yes……"

"No! Impossible!"

Hathaway was originally floating in mid-air like a backstroke, but when she heard this, she stood upright, with a surge of energy, hitting the furniture in the room with a loud noise.

She said coldly: "Li Qi's plane can't beat my airship! The battle between Bellino and Romulus has conclusively proved this point!"

Steve didn't dare to hide it, and said sadly: "But... the sixty airships, including the people, are indeed gone. Now that Mirhos is gone, we can't get back the money. Plus the mercenary expenses , that's four to five million."

Hathaway's forehead was also a little sweaty. If these sixty airships were really eaten by Li Qi in one go, then her airship market would be ruined.

She suddenly became excited: "Wait, you just said that the battlefield is near the Scorched Stone Wilderness?"

"Yes……"

"I see……"

Hathaway sneered: "That idiot of Millhouse! No, those mercenaries are even more idiots! They didn't take a good look at the place when they were fighting. The Jiaoshi Wilderness is a poor devil's area! Li Qi must have introduced the flying boat into the poor devil's area! "

Steve suddenly realized: "Yes, patriarch, the truth should be like this."

"What does this mean? It means that his plane is still no match for Feizhou, and he can only do this kind of trick." Hathaway shook her head and said, "Even if it is an advanced weapon, it must be handed over to the right person to use it. Mirhos This guy is really not worth entrusting, it's fine if he's finished."

"These sixty airships..."

Her heart hurts, the cost of sixty ships is 300 million!

Fortunately, Lady Luck is on her side.

Hathaway felt extremely fortunate. If Belino hadn't used the flying boat to defeat Romulus in the afternoon, Mirhos' failure would have destroyed everyone's trust in the flying boat.

She thought bitterly: "Li Qi... This guy is really stumbling me everywhere, but the victory of tactics cannot make up for the failure of strategy. You told me this. Since you stopped me and let those From the day people bombed the tower, it was doomed to fail."

She instructed Steve: "Pay attention to Bellino's handling of Kesternan, and if the newly appointed person is reliable, continue to support him. In that place, we don't care about the cost!"

After Steve resigned, Hathaway's mood gradually improved again.

It is indeed a heartache to see sixty flying boats go adrift, but it is nothing compared to the prospect.

At this time, Gordon sent another message. Hathaway couldn't believe it at first, but Gordon repeated it before recovering.

She was stunned and said, "Three hundred ships, 2000 million gold bushels?"

"Yes, the queen told me personally," Gordon said excitedly: "She also saw the battle in the afternoon, and she was also greatly shocked by the tone of her voice. She should be very worried that her floating fleet will be attacked like this." Airship assault. She wants us to provide airships that can cooperate with the empire's floating fleet, and deliver at least [-] ships within a month, and of course the price will be kept very low."

Gordon lowered his voice: "The queen also said that your threshold will definitely be broken at this time. In order to show her sincerity, she gave 100 million gold bushes as a deposit."

"Ha ha……"

Now Hathaway couldn't bear it anymore, sure enough, Teresia, you still lowered your beautiful and noble head to me!I'm sorry to go to me directly, so I went to Gordon, and directly dropped the gold bull.

Buying 2000 ships for [-] million gold bushels will not make much money, but even if you don’t make money, it is worthwhile to make the airship of the Ted family become the standard equipment of the Dawn Empire Army. This is the benchmark!

"Besides the queen, there are many people looking for me, all of whom want to buy passenger airships." Gordon continued: "The subspace storm is getting more and more violent, and the teleportation of the commercial temple has also become unreliable. Too dare to touch the teleportation, I want to use the flying boat as a long-distance transportation tool."

Hearing the number reported in Gordon's newspaper, Hathaway's heart was filled with happiness and troubles: "Four to five hundred ships, we simply can't afford this amount now."

"Passenger airships are more profitable than military airships," Gordon reminded her.

Indeed, Hathaway patted her forehead, gritted her teeth and said, "You take all the orders, let's spread the booth and get going!"

"Do we still have enough liquidity?"

Gordon said worriedly: "Even if the payment for the 160 flying boats has been recovered, it can't afford this stall."

There is only a payment for [-] ships, and it is still at cost price, so it is a big loss...

Hathaway twitched her mouth, but it was a trivial matter, she comforted: "It's nothing, the prospect of the flying boat is there, and the ten thousand years of reputation of our Ted family, if you tell the material supplier to postpone the payment, they will also There will be no opinion."

"Do you want...on credit?"

Gordon was a little apprehensive. Although he was used to this in the days of the Storm Islands, as a member of the Golden Family, the Ted Family had never done this before.

"The times are different," Hathaway seems to be persuading herself: "Watching the tide rise, I will not do such a stupid thing because I have to stick to the ancient traditions, so I hold back and lose a great opportunity. of."

Gordon felt relieved: "Yes, you never missed it."

After discussing with Gordon, Hathaway arranged for the tribe to contact various families and material merchants to make urgent preparations for raw materials.

Based on the judgments of the people of the clan, Hathaway was also a little uneasy. Such a large-scale credit will indeed cause adverse effects.Merchants will raise prices, and certain families who are eyeing tigers will also take the opportunity to hoard and even spread rumors.

Especially that Mosmoot, who hangs out with Zold, relying on the Queen's backing, always goes against him everywhere.The queen engaged in the floating fleet and built the Emperor's Castle, but she didn't let herself eat meat. To a large extent, she borrowed the power of Mosmut.

"I still need to find some gold bulls. United Communications Network and other industries only got 600 million for leasing, so how can I get 1000 million more?"

When I borrowed money from the Chamber of Commerce before, 1000 million made Hathaway's heart beat faster. Now, 1000 million is just a small amount of money... that's all.

Hesitating about whether to find another chamber of commerce and what name to use to get the 1000 million, Taling reported: "Your Excellency Losefors came to visit and claimed to represent the Temple of Commerce to negotiate loan matters."

Hathaway frowned: "Rosiefors? The patriarch of the Selton family? When did he become the representative of the Temple of Commerce?"

Then he shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I forgot that this is a new era. Some people voted for the empire, and of course there were people who voted for the Temple of Commerce."

She waved lazily: "What's the matter for him to use the book of trade winds to run over here? How can outsiders enter my magic tower casually?"

"He said that this is the sincerity of the business temple, and some things are not suitable for talking outside," Tarling said.

Hathaway thought about it, and felt that it was okay to get in touch.

She was also a little curious. The Temple of Commerce is the church organization of the Goddess of Commerce, and few people come out to discuss business on their own initiative. They are all chambers of commerce.Before, even if it was a project undertaken by itself, the Commercial Temple only provided discounts on various services, but now it came directly to the door.

Has the situation of the world changed so much under the agitation of the flying boat?
Hathaway arranged for people to come to another hall independent of the magic tower, where she met a very ordinary middle-aged man who was also a legendary magician.

"I salute you, Honorable Speaker and Your Excellency the Duchess, I was once your admirer..."

The man's conversation was natural and friendly, which made Hathaway feel unfathomable. Of course, it might be the word "once" that stabbed her faintly.

"I'm sorry for playing a trick on the wording. I'm actually the former representative of the Temple of Commerce, and now I'm the agent of the Void Consortium in East Fein. It's too complicated to introduce myself, and it must be difficult to meet you."

Hearing what the man said again, Hathaway raised her brows, the former representative?Right in the Storm Islands?
The relationship between the Storm Islands and the Goddess of Commerce was not good before, and the Temple of Commerce was not allowed to open a branch here. Listen to what this guy means...

Luoxifusi said: "Your Excellency, you are the patriarch of the Golden Family, and you don't know much about the lives of the people below. After all, there are many things hidden in the shadows."

In other words, the Temple of Commerce has actually opened a branch in the Storm Islands, but it is underground.

If Hathaway was still the speaker, and time went back a bit, she would definitely turn against this guy, but now, the old things of the Storm Islands, the ghosts don't care...

Hathaway chewed on the name of the faction reported by the other party: "The Void Consortium... What a big tone."

"The name is just to attract everyone's attention." Losefors said with a smile: "The key is whether you have enough strength."

He then reported the names of a bunch of chambers of commerce, and at the same time revealed their respective backgrounds. Several of the chambers of commerce were exactly the same as what Hathaway knew, which made Hathaway even more awe-inspiring.

"We also know that Your Excellency's flying boat is stirring up the world and causing profound changes in the sky of Finn. To seize such an opportunity, you need a lot of gold bulls as an early investment."

"We can immediately... To be precise, right now, we can provide you with a loan of at least 3000 million gold bushels, with very low interest and a flexible repayment plan."

As he spoke, he handed over a magic document. After Hathaway left a magic imprint, only she opened it to see the specific content.

Hathaway opened the file with the mentality of looking at it temporarily. If she wanted a loan, she had many choices.Although this guy also comes from a veteran magic family, but her previous status as an undercover agent of the goddess of business made her dare not give her too much trust.

But seeing the repayment plan inside, she was a little moved again.

Regular installment repayment, the longest time limit can be up to 100 years...

Mortgage of high-level magic tools and even artifacts is completely confidential and will not be publicly transferred or auctioned...

The transfer of shares in various industries is not considered, but it is also in line with commercial laws...

It even allows individuals to participate in designated activities as magic consultants to repay loans...

"Such a moving condition is usually a trick of the devil to lure mortals." Hathaway said with a smile: "It is not so easy to gain my trust."

"This is simple," the other party had expected: "You can ask the business temples you are familiar with now, and they will confirm my identity and the reputation of the Void Consortium."

"I might as well tell you directly that our consortium is newly formed by people drawn from various business temples. The Goddess of Commerce is adjusting the relationship between the business temples and various chambers of commerce, including the Dragon Clan. As a pilot unit, the Void Consortium has chosen to work with you for the first time. A single business, this is..."

Hathaway narrowed her eyes: "Is it my honor?"

Luoxifusi stroked his chest and bowed his head: "Don't dare, in view of your relationship with Ms. Ye and the goddess of magic, what I want to say is that this is a well-matched cooperation."

Hathaway pondered for a moment, and secretly asked Ta Ling to confirm with the Temple of Commerce, and at the same time activated various spells such as insight and true knowledge.

Rosephus sensed it, but he smiled and didn't respond, letting Hathaway investigate.

no problem……

There is no problem with the news returned by Taling...

Hathaway became a little serious, and asked tentatively, "Can I get the gold bush now?"

The other party said confidently: "Yes, otherwise how dare I come to the door?"

"Okay." Hathaway tapped on the magic file with her slender fingers: "I will try to cooperate with you, first borrow 1000 million, and choose these repayment plans."

Not to mention now, it is difficult for other chambers of commerce to get millions of gold bushels within three days, and her stall must be spread out day and night.

It can be said that this guy, no, this Void Consortium, is completely helping.

For the sake of safety, she also carefully avoided repayment plans related to family reputation and main business.

The two signed the magic contract on the document, and Loseves said in admiration: "You are very cautious, this is a wise choice."

After speaking, he took out a bag from his chest and turned the bag upside down in front of Hathaway.

Golden bushes poured out like gravel, and the shimmering golden light made Hathaway's delicate face change color.

"1000 million, no more, no less..."

In a blink of an eye, Golden Bull flooded half of the hall of hundreds of square meters. In the big pit opened by the two of them with magic, Losefors showed a professional smile that seemed to never change in ten thousand years. It was Heather's turn. Wei made a sound of admiration.
