Chapter 128 Two Strange Men
"Very good, I think our call can end here.¥f"
Marquis Southgide handed the magic call box back to Princess Caroline.
Princess Caroline wanted to pick up the magic call box and persuade Xu Yi for a few more words, but found that the green indicator light representing the call on the magic call box had turned off, and she immediately smiled bitterly.
It seems that Xu Yi's attitude this time is also irreversible.
"Uncle Dayolun! Let's go back. What a bullshit Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce dare to treat you with this attitude! Fortunately, this is the Principality of Stantin. If it were in our Marlow Empire, I would give him a good look immediately!"
Marquis Southgide narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Seymour, and did not speak, but turned to look at Princess Caroline.
"Your Highness, Princess."
"Ah? Ah...Marquis Marquis, you..." Princess Caroline opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She knew very well that this time Xu Yi was ruining the opportunity to cooperate with the Marlow Empire.
From the perspective of interests, Xu Yi's approach this time was extremely stupid.
But from a personal perspective, Princess Caroline felt that Xu Yi just now was simply full of charm.
This contradictory feeling made her not know how to express her inner thoughts except for a wry smile.
"Your Highness Princess, let's go. President Xu must have been waiting urgently."
"Oh...ah?" Princess Caroline nodded at first, then widened her eyes in surprise. "Marquis Marquis, do you... want to see President Xu?"
"Why not?" Marquis Southgide asked Princess Caroline with a strange look on his face. "Isn't this our original plan?"
"But...but..." Princess Caroline pointed to Seymour, who was also surprised. "Vissue Seymour's affairs..."
"Semore?" The Marquis Southgide turned his face and looked at Semore, and the smile on his face instantly turned gloomy, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Semore, go with these two security guards and cooperate with their investigation. Remember me, you must cooperate with them and work hard. If you dare to cause trouble again, I don't mind teaching you personally on behalf of your father."
Although there was not much sternness in the Marquis Southgide's tone, Seymour couldn't help but tremble all over.
He knew very well that this time, Uncle Dayolun was serious.
So he had no idea of resisting at all and obediently walked to the two security officers.
Marquis Southgide smiled at the two equally dazed security officers: "Two. Thank you for your hard work. Please be patient with my nephew. If you have any needs, you can contact me or Princess Caroline at any time through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."
He sat back into the magic car without looking at Seymour, and just waved to Princess Caroline.
"Your Highness Princess, let's go."
Princess Caroline looked at Seymour with a strange expression, then looked at Marquis Southgate, and said nothing and got into the magic car.
A moment later, a convoy of seven magic cars set off at the same time and quickly disappeared from the far end of the road.
###
An hour later, the convoy slowly stopped in front of the gate of Xu Yi’s private manor by the sea.
Seeing Xu Yi standing in front of the gate from afar and staring at this side, Princess Caroline felt a little strange.
She was not surprised how Xu Yi knew about the arrival of the convoy in advance. After all, this was Xu Yi's territory. It would be strange if he didn't even know this.
What she wondered was why Xu Yi smiled with a cheerful smile, and it seemed that he was not affected by the conversation with Marquis Southgide just now.
You know, judging by general logic, the conversation between Xu Yi and Marquis Southgide just now clearly means that they have completely broken down. Logically speaking, the two should be angry with each other and ignore each other anymore.
But not only did Marquis Southgide's reaction surprised Princess Caroline, but Xu Yi's expression now also made her wonder.
What are these two men thinking in their heads?
Princess Caroline's confusion in her mind was waiting for her to get off the magic car, and when she stood with Xu Yi, who was smiling, she showed an equally bright smile.
"Hey, Caroline, the last time I saw you was a year and a half ago, right? I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still so beautiful and charming. It really makes me very happy." Xu Yi smiled and stretched out his hand to Princess Caroline.
Princess Caroline looked down at Xu Yi's right hand that was stretching over, but suddenly a naughty smile appeared. She suddenly opened her arms and rushed over, then hugged Xu Yi, who was caught off guard, and kissed her face without any hesitation.
"Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still so cold to me. I'm very sad."
Feeling the heat coming from Princess Caroline's lips, Xu Yi's expression was a little embarrassed and helpless. After thinking about it, he also raised his hands and gave Princess Caroline a hug, but he did not kiss him back.
"Hey, Caroline, there are still customers here."
Hearing Xu Yi say this, Princess Caroline let go of her arms with a smile.
Xu Yi reminded her that there are still customers here. Isn’t the meaning of the words that is to not treat her as a guest, but as her own person?
"Well, Xu Yi, let me introduce you to this person, Marquis de Dajoren Southghede. He is Xu Yi, the president of the New Flight Chamber of Commerce."
Xu Yi and Marquis Southgide's eyes collided with each other, and a clear smile appeared on their faces at the same time, and then they reached out their hands to hold each other.
"Marquis, welcome to you."
"President Xu, I'm very happy to see you finally."
The two looked at each other, Qiqi laughed, and then Xu Yi said: "Marquis Marquis, let me tell you good news, because Viscount Seymour actively cooperated in the security office, actively admitted his mistakes, and agreed to pay enough compensation, and has obtained the understanding of the injured passenger on the magic motorcycle of the bus. Therefore, according to the regulations, he may be temporarily detained in the security office for up to seven days without any other punishment."
"Oh? That's great." Marquis Southgide nodded slightly, as if he didn't care about what kind of punishment Seymour was subjected to. He pondered for a moment and asked, "President Xu, I have some preliminary understanding of the magic motorcycle, but can I ask, is there any difference between the magic motorcycle here and the magic motorcycle I saw in Bonta City?"
"There is not much difference, because the urban bus system in Bonta City was originally designed by me. If you have to compare it, the bus system here is more perfect. First, because I was subject to many restrictions when designing the urban bus system in Bonta City, but I didn't. Second, it is closer to our Chamber of Commerce's production base, which can provide more and better passenger magic locomotives."
"Well, I understand. Then let me ask another question. If there are not enough highways as the basis, wouldn't it be difficult to build such a city bus system?"
"Although with a highway as the basis, it can make the operation of magic locomotives more convenient, but this is not a necessary condition. The various types of passenger magic locomotives currently manufactured by our Chamber of Commerce can meet the conditions for running on ordinary soil and gravel roads outside the highway. Therefore, as long as there are ordinary roads and enough passenger magic locomotives, you can try to form an urban bus system."
"Is that true? If you want to form an urban bus system in a city that is more than ten times larger than Bangta City, how many gold coins do you think you will spend?"
"This is not easy to estimate, because the conditions and requirements of each city are different, so specific measurements are needed. But according to general conditions, if the area is more than ten times larger than that of Bonta City, then the scale of the urban bus system is very likely to be dozens of times that of Bonta City."
"Why isn't it more than ten times?"
"This is not a simple multiplication, because the bigger the city, the more complicated the situation will be. If you want to satisfy it, the more resources you need to pay."
"Well, this is not true. So I heard that the total investment in the early stage of the urban bus system of Bangta City is about 300,000 gold coins, and will be about 50,000 gold coins each year. As you said just now, if you set up an urban bus system in a city that is more than ten times the size, the total investment in the early stage is very likely to turn into tens of millions of gold coins, and the subsequent investment will reach millions of gold coins every year?"
"That won't be. Because Bangta City was just the first attempt to set up the urban bus system, it had a lot of unnecessary expenses. If it was reorganized now, I could control the cost to around 100,000 to 150,000 gold coins. As for the subsequent annual investment, it can actually be roughly offset from the annual income, and there is no need for additional investment."
"Oh? If you say so, that's pretty cheap..."
...
Seeing Xu Yi and Marquis Southgide quickly discussing like two old friends, and instead putting themselves aside, Princess Caroline couldn't help rolling her eyes and interrupting the conversation between them.
"Hey, Xu Yi, aren't you going to invite us in for a cup of tea?"
Xu Yi was stunned, then smiled and patted his head, reached out and made a gesture of inviting him.
"Please, Marquis, Caroline, let's go in and sit. I have prepared a sumptuous lunch and can enjoy it together later."
The Marquis Southgide laughed, and without hesitation, he walked into the manor.
But before he could get two steps, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Xu Yi a question.
Xu Yi was also surprised that no matter what Marquis Southeged asked, he gave a very detailed answer, without any perfunctory or bored, as if he really regarded the Marquis Southeged as a confidant.
Seeing the two of them discussing enthusiastically, Princess Caroline could only shake her head helplessly, and then saw Steele, who was smiling behind the living room door waiting for the guests to arrive.
His eyes fell on Steele's obviously bulging belly. Princess Caroline was stunned for a moment, and then she let out a faint sigh from the crack of her lips. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
