Chapter 564 The newly painted pie
There are many things in the world that can be done but cannot be said.
The church's teachings require priests not to be greedy for pleasure. In fact, it is just talk. Everything they enjoy is "donated" by believers.
But superficiality still needs to be done. The priests will definitely say that they have no money, but those white gloves they "guaranteed" do.
Valentin left, and the bond discussed with Frederick that day spread quickly, arousing the interest of countless businessmen.
Laura immediately went to find Frederick to ask about the situation. After leaving, she immediately packed her things and rushed back to the royal capital. At the same time, a more shocking new news came out.
At this time Fontana's motorcade arrived, bringing stories of various miracles along Frederick's journey.
These stories have been passed down one after another by merchants recently. This time, the witnesses came to complete the story of Frederick's "passing through five cities and performing six miracles" from beginning to end.
The city of Bern had a radio station, and the news soon spread throughout the major cities in the Kingdom of Sardinia, and also spread across the White Mountains back to the Rhine League.
Frederick let them go, he had more important things to do now.
"Old Shark" Alepbe has become familiar with Frederick these days, and knows that he doesn't talk about hierarchy so much. He can't help complaining: "Our Free Society is a killer organization. I didn't expect to start a job as an intelligence dealer."
While studying the map in the study, Frederick said: "You only make a little money as a killer, but you make a lot as a commercial intelligence spy. A piece of information can be sold to several companies."
A Lepp replied: "We are the knife of the big boss, this cannot be changed."
Frederick just nodded. If he guessed correctly, the big boss behind the Free Society is Sardinia The royal family of the kingdom, otherwise Laura would not have met him without a guard that night.
He studied the map of the northern coastal area to the west of the Kingdom of Sardinia for a long time and made a decision in his mind.
"Okay." He said to Aleppe, "I have determined the place where the shipyard will be built. Please collect these information."
In order to build momentum for the special bond, he spread the word to Laura that part of it could be used Invest in the construction of a shipyard in the Kingdom of Sardinia to specialize in the production of ships without sails.
The steam river boats of the Principality of Wesson are famous. At the end of last year, a steam fishing boat appeared on the inner sea. It belonged to a knight on the Cyclops Island. A long time ago, the Flying Tulip had sailed in many places in the Kingdom of Sardinia. The port docks, and two flat-top steamers also go out to sea from time to time. People who live by the sea are no stranger to this.
Someone has calculated the transportation cost of this kind of ship. Without being affected by wind direction and speed advantage, the cost is a dimensionality reduction blow to existing maritime transportation.
Someone has calculated the approximate number of ships currently on the inland sea. Even if only half of the ships are replaced, the shipyard will be a chicken that can lay golden eggs.
Frederick and Lola agreed that this shipyard would give the royal family of the Kingdom of Sardinia 40% of the shares. No cash would be required, only land and the name of the "Royal Family" would be used to invest in the shipyard.
With such a shipyard guaranteed, no one would doubt the repayment ability of the special bonds sold by Frederick.
Aleppe quietly put away the information on the table.
He did not ask Frederick where he chose, but reminded: "Sir, the largest shipyard in the Kingdom of Sardinia is in the hands of the Venetians. Now you are taking food from their mouths. Be careful about them. Made a drastic move"
Frederick smiled and asked: "Are you worried about them assassinating me?"
Aleppe replied: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
"Although your security skills are far superior to mine, assassination is not just a method of using a knife."
He has been ten years When I first met Frederick, I wanted to tease him, but I was frightened half to death by the elemental puppet that Psyche gave to Frederick. To this day, I still thought it was a real person.
Frederick couldn't help but nodded when he heard what he said: "Indeed, you have to be careful in the future."
Aleppe continued: "So adults should be careful about poisonous flowers when picking flowers. ""They are very dangerous, maybe the lipstick on their lips is deadly poison."
Everyone knows Frederick's reputation. Aleppo knows that he can't stop this, he can only remind him.
These days, he is busy inquiring about information and thinking about serious things, and has no time to think about these things.
The more contacts you have, the more opportunities you will have.
Aleppe added: "You may have seen in books and dramas that some killers and spies have been lurking for more than ten years, or even decades, and no one knows their true identity. This kind of thing It exists.”
Frederick was a good-natured person who was willing to listen to the opinions and suggestions of professionals.
Today is different from the past. In the past, I didn’t touch other people’s cakes. Everyone made money by being harmonious, so there was no danger.
It was different now. As soon as Frederick came to the Kingdom of Sardinia this time, the Venetians ravaged the soles of his shoes with their faces.
The two sides have become enemies, and there is no possibility of compromise unless one side surrenders.
Frederick felt that his own life was still important. This time he could not act like before.
Aleppe finally said: "But don't worry, sir. Those businessmen have always bullied the weak and are afraid of the strong. A slap in the face and a little sweetness will make them honest."
Frederick narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "If there is Venice Give me a copy of the information about the middle-level businessmen."
Alebe asked with some confusion: "Mid-level businessmen?"
He has limited knowledge of the business terminology of the Principality of Wesson and doesn't know." What kind of businessman is "Middle Level"?
Frederick explained: "It is the kind that has a lot of industry, but is still a long way from the top, and the top cannot kill it easily."
He thought for a while and then added: "It is best to be ambitious."
Aleppe had seen too many conspiracies and tricks, and immediately asked cautiously: "Are you trying to divide the merchants in Venice?"
Seeing his quick reaction, Frederick thought for a while and said, "Aleppe, I may have some properties in the Kingdom of Sardinia in the future. How about you help me take care of them."
Aleppe said calmly: "Your Excellency, you are joking."
Frederick said nothing more, Aleppe's future was not in his own hands.
When Alleppe left, Frederick asked him to spread the news about his decision on the location of the shipyard and create some stunts.
Frederick also walked out of the study and walked along the forest paths of the manor, while thinking about his plan to divide the Venetian merchants.
This plan is not just his business alone, it requires the cooperation of many countries to ensure that there are enough attractive baits, and these baits can bite the intended target without being intercepted, and they cannot be too obvious.
As the sun set in the afternoon, Frederick said to the two maids who had been following him: "Get ready, I'm going to the telegraph station in the city."
One of them The maid responded and immediately left to prepare the carriage.
Frederick had some ideas in his mind and decided to draw a fragrant scallion pancake that could be eaten in his mouth.
