Chapter 69 The Baroness's Pomp
For Purficott, she actually doesn't like to be so particular about pomp and circumstance, but Foster is very insistent on maintaining the dignity that the Brandless family deserves.
Perficott can’t say much about this. After all, the steam carriages were loaded on the White Jewel and transported from Longton to the New World at Foster’s insistence.
As for the knights who guarded Perfectcourt, it was not Foster’s insistence, but Samantha and Arthur’s insistence.
The two knights who were sent to protect Perfecticot always insisted that she must have enough guards. After all, the independence movement in the New World is still quite violent.
If someone wants to express some demands by assassinating her, and Purficott does not have enough guards around him, then the joke will be big.
So in the end, Samantha and Arthur discussed it and left one guard knight and four attendants, as well as half of the Sword and Rose flag team, and the rest followed Per Feiket stayed close to protect her.
So this also resulted in Purficott’s exaggerated appearance at this moment, which was comparable to that of the eldest princess.
If you add the infantry company, it will really be no different from the Queen's tour.
This also caused the residents of New Shaker City to open their eyes this time, so that when Andrew came to the restaurant led by the knight sent by Perfecticot, his expression was also the same. A mixture of shock and honor.
Although he has been to Langton and seen the world, seeing the prosperity of Langton and truly experiencing the pomp of the nobility are still two different things.
After all, he is just an ordinary steel businessman now. It is difficult to get in touch with the upper class even in Xinshang City, let alone in a big city like Langton.
However, he still tried his best to remain calm in front of Purficott, and bowed to the Baroness with some restraint.
"Please relax Mr. Andrew, I appreciate your confidence and calmness when you took the initiative to talk to me on the Morrigan. That left a deep impression on me." Purficott sat down In the chair, take the initiative to speak.
She made an exception today by wearing a dark velvet dress and a top hat. This made her look mature, but also full of aristocratic elegance, and a A sense of oppression that makes people feel restrained involuntarily.
Coupled with the old housekeeper standing behind Perfectcourt at this moment and the knights responsible for guarding the surroundings, the upper-class aristocratic lady imagined in the mind of a New World person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and Andrew couldn't help but feel it. nervous.
But in the end he sat down in front of Purficott, waiting for the Baroness to continue.
Besides them, in the restaurant at this time, there was only one of the best bands in Xinshak City hired by the restaurant owner, who was concentrating on playing elegant music for Purficott.
The waiter in the restaurant wanted to ask Perficott if he could serve the food, but was stopped by the old butler, who then passed the question to Perficott.
After receiving Purficott's answer, the old butler returned to his original position and signaled the waiter to prepare the dishes.
This kind of partying is really normal for the nobles, especially now that the old butler is very worried about Perfectcott's safety.
But for Andrew and the surrounding restaurant staff, it seemed a bit too cold.
However, this also made them more in awe of Perficott, and at the same time, they also felt a yearning for aristocratic life.
The dishes were served quickly. Although they were all rich and made from popular local dishes, they still had some New World flavor. For Purficott, this was somewhat of a novel experience, but she was not here to eat today.
So after tasting the appetizers, Purficott talked to Andrew about the topic of inviting him to dinner today: "Mr. Andrew, I am a person who likes to get straight to the point, so I will skip the unnecessary politeness.
I admire your talent very much, and I heard that you are running a steel company, so I plan to invest in you.”
Perfect’s words made Andrew feel happy. Being optimistic about himself and willing to invest in his own company will undoubtedly be of great help to his career.
Not to mention that he is a nobleman with a distinguished status. Even if it is only spread that he was invited to dinner by Baroness Brandlis today, it will be enough to greatly improve his social status and connections. .
If you can borrow from Perfectcott's connections, even just a little bit, it will be enough for Andrew's company to take off quickly and become the darling of the market.
And Andrew himself will become an upstart in the social circles of New Shaker City and even the entire New World.
But he calmed down at this moment, tried his best to restrain his inner excitement, expressed his gratitude to Purficott, and then prepared to introduce his company and Ask the most critical Purficott how to invest.
However, Purficott did not give him a chance to speak, but controlled the rhythm of the conversation with a strong aura.
"Although I admire your talent very much, you still need to be cautious about investing." Purficott expressed his thoughts and waved to the old butler behind him, and a copy was already prepared. The document was handed over to Purficott: "I will give you twenty thousand gold pounds in cash. It is not a lot of money, but it should be enough for you to transform your company and use the new technology you purchased from Langton." Application.
This money is not given to you for free, but I am not interested in the return on investment. What I need is that you make something for me. ”
With that said, Purficott opened the document in his hand and handed it to Andrew.
Twenty thousand gold pounds may not be a big amount for Purficott, but it is astonishing enough for Andrew.
After all, his current total net worth is only a few thousand pounds, and this is enough for him to get his business going and start building his own steel empire.
Fortunately, Andrew also clearly understood that there is no free lunch in this world, and he did not get carried away by this investment.
After taking the document handed over by Purficott, he read it carefully.
On the file were some mechanical parts that looked like a knight's armor.
“This is a part of the latest knight armor of the empire. The existence of this kind of knight armor is currently the empire’s top military secret.” Purficott said to Andrew with a non-stop expression that was not surprising. He stated all his requirements: "I need you to produce the first batch of parts within half a year, and the number of finished products should be no less than fifty sets."
After finishing reading the books that Perfectcott gave him, Andrew, who had all the drawings, answered very firmly: "I only need four months. If the material problem can be solved at a faster speed, I can even shorten the time to three months."
