Chapter 128 Two Strange Men

"Very well, I think our conversation can end here."

The Marquis of Southgate handed back the magic talking box to Princess Caroline.

Princess Caroline wanted to pick up the magic talking box and persuade Xu Yi a few more words, but found that the green indicator light on the magic talking box that represented the call had gone out, and suddenly smiled wryly.

It seems that Xu Yi's attitude this time is also irreversible.

"Uncle Dayoren! Let's go back, what kind of shit Xu Yi and Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, dare to treat you with such an attitude! Fortunately, this is the Principality of Standing, if it is in our Marlow Empire, I will give him a good look immediately!"

The Marquis of Southgate narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at Seymour, did not speak, but turned to Princess Caroline.

"Your Royal Highness."

"Ah? Ah...Master Marquis, you..." County Caroline opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

She knew very well in her heart that this time Xu Yi regarded herself as having ruined the chance of cooperating with the Maro Empire.

From the perspective of profit, what Xu Yi did this time was extremely stupid.

But from a personal point of view, Princess Caroline felt that Xu Yi just now was full of charm.

This conflicting feeling made her not know how to express her inner thoughts except for a wry smile.

"His Royal Highness, let's go, President Xu must have been waiting anxiously."

"Oh...ah?" Princess Caroline nodded first, then her eyes widened in surprise. "Master Marquis, you...do you still want to see President Xu?"

"Why not?" Marquis Southgate 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. "The matter of Viscount Seymour..."

"Seymour?" Marquis Southgate turned to look at Seymour, and the smile on his face instantly turned gloomy, with an unusually low expression. He said in an unquestionable tone: "Seymore. Go with these two security officers. Cooperate with their investigation. Remember, you must cooperate with them and work hard. If you dare to cause trouble again, I don't mind instead of your father to teach you himself."

Although Marquis Southgate's tone didn't sound harsh, Seymour trembled involuntarily.

He knew very well that this time, Uncle Dayoren was serious.

So he didn't have the slightest thought of resisting at all, and walked obediently to the two security guards.

Marquis Southgate smiled at the two security officers who were also in a daze: "You two, thank you. Please be patient with my nephew. If you need anything, you can always contact me through the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce or card Lord Lorraine."

After saying this, he sat back in the magic car, without even looking at Seymour, he just waved to Princess Caroline.

"His Royal Highness, let's go."

Princess Caroline looked at Seymour strangely, then at Marquis Southgate, without saying a word, got into the magic car.

After a while. The convoy of seven magic cars set off at the same time and quickly disappeared at the far end of the road.

###

after an hour. The convoy stopped slowly in front of the gate of Xu Yi's private estate by the sea.

Seeing Xu Yi standing in front of the gate from a distance, staring at this side, Princess Caroline felt a little strange.

She wasn't surprised how Xu Yi knew about the arrival of the convoy ahead of time. After all, this was Xu Yi's territory. It would be strange if he didn't even know this.

She wondered why Xu Yi had a hearty smile on his face, and it seemed that he was not affected by the conversation with Marquis Southgate just now.

You know, judging by general logic, the conversation between Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate just now obviously means that their conversation has completely collapsed. It stands to reason that the two people should be angry at each other now and ignore each other. right.

But Princess Caroline was not only surprised by Marquis Southgate's reaction just now, but Xu Yi's expression also baffled her now.

What are these two men thinking about?

The doubts in Princess Caroline's mind showed the same bright smile when she got out of the magic car and stood with Xu Yi who greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Caroline, it's been a year and a half since I last saw you? It's been so long since I've seen you, and you're still so beautiful, I'm so happy." Xu Yi smiled and extended her hand to Princess Caroline. hands.

Princess Caroline looked down at Xu Yi's right hand, but suddenly showed a naughty smile, opened her arms and rushed over, then hugged Xu Yi who was caught off guard tightly, and said unceremoniously Kissed her on the face.

"Xu Yi, I haven't seen you for so long, and you still treat me so coldly. I'm very sad."

Feeling the heat from Princess Caroline's lips, Xu Yi looked a little embarrassed and helpless. After thinking about it, he also raised his hands to give Princess Caroline a hug, but he didn't kiss back .

"Hey, Caroline, there are guests here after all."

Hearing what Xu Yi said, Princess Caroline smiled and loosened her arms.

Xu Yi reminded her that there are still guests here. Doesn't the meaning of the words mean that she should not be treated as a guest, but as one of her own?

"Well, Xu Yi, let me introduce you. This is the Marquis Dayoron Southgate. Your Excellency, he is Xu Yi, the president of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate's eyes collided, and a knowing smile appeared on their faces at the same time, and then they reached out and shook each other at the same time.

"Master Marquis, welcome to come."

"President Xu, I am very happy to finally see you."

The two looked at each other, Qiqi laughed, and then Xu Yi said: "Master Marquis, I have some good news for you, because Viscount Seymour actively cooperated in the security station, admitted his mistakes, and agreed to pay enough compensation, and he has obtained the car. The understanding of the injured passenger on the bus magic locomotive. Therefore, according to regulations, he may be temporarily detained in the public security station for up to seven days without any other punishment."

"Oh? That's very good." Marquis Southgate nodded lightly, as if he didn't care about the punishment Seymour received. He pondered for a while and asked, "President Xu, I already have some magic locomotives. I have a preliminary understanding, but may I ask, is there any difference between the magic bus locomotive here and the magic bus locomotive I saw in Bangta City?"

"There is not much difference, because I was mainly involved in the design of the urban bus system in Bangta City. If I have to make a comparison, it is that our bus system here is more complete. First, because I designed the urban bus system in Bangta City The urban public transport system is subject to many restrictions, but here it will not. Second, it is relatively close to the production base of our chamber of commerce, which can provide more and better passenger magic locomotives."

"Well, I understand. Then let me ask another question, if there are not enough roads as a foundation, is it very difficult to build such an urban public transport system?"

"Although there is a road as the foundation, it can make the operation of the magic locomotive more convenient, but this is not a necessary condition. The various types of passenger magic locomotives currently manufactured by our chamber of commerce can already meet the conditions for running on ordinary dirt and gravel roads other than roads , so as long as there are ordinary roads, as long as there are enough passenger magic locomotives, you can try to form an urban bus system.”

"Is that so? If you want to build an urban bus system in a city that is more than ten times larger than Bangta City, how much gold coins do you estimate will cost, President Xu?"

"It's not easy to estimate, because the conditions and needs of each city are different, so it needs to be measured specifically. But according to general conditions, if the area is more than ten times larger than that of Bangta City, then the urban bus The scale of the system is most likely dozens of times that of Bangta City."

"Why not ten times?"

"This is not a simple multiplication, because the bigger the city, the more complicated the situation will be. If you want to meet it, the resources you need to spend will be even greater."

"Well, that's true. Then I heard that the initial investment in the urban public transport system of Bangta City is about 300,000 gold coins, and about 50,000 gold coins will be invested every year in the future. According to what you just said, in a ten If a city bus system is built in a city several times the size, the initial total investment is likely to be tens of millions of gold coins, and the subsequent annual investment will be as high as millions of gold coins?"

"That's not true. Because it was only the first attempt to build the urban bus system in Bangta City, and a lot of unnecessary expenses were incurred. If I rebuild it now, I can control the cost to 100,000 to 150,000 gold coins About. As for the subsequent annual investment, in fact, it can be roughly offset by the annual income, and no additional investment is required.”

"Oh? If you put it that way, it's pretty cheap..."

...

Seeing that Xu Yi and Marquis Southgate quickly had a lively discussion like two old friends, and instead put themselves aside, Princess Caroline couldn't help but rolled her eyes and interrupted the conversation between the two .

"Hey, Xu Yi, aren't you going to invite us in for a cup of tea?"

Xu Yi was startled, then patted his head with a smile, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

"Please, Lord Marquis, Caroline, everyone, go in and sit down. I have prepared a sumptuous lunch, and we can enjoy it together later."

The Marquis of Southgate laughed, and he was not polite, and walked into the manor.

But before he took two steps, he couldn't help but turned his head and asked Xu Yi a question.

And Xu Yi was also surprised that no matter what the Marquis Southgate asked, he gave a very detailed answer, without any perfunctory or bored appearance at all, as if he really regarded the Marquis Southgate as a confidant.

Seeing the heated discussion between the two of them, Princess Caroline could only shake her head helplessly, and then saw Steele who was smiling and waiting for the guests to arrive behind the living room door.

His eyes fell on Steele's obviously bulging belly, Princess Caroline was stunned for a moment, and then let out a faint sigh from the cracks in her lips. (To be continued..)
