City Hall. Dafei reported to the guards the purpose of his visit to the mayor.
Under normal circumstances, if a player wanted to meet a mayor, duke, or prince, they had to trigger the relevant quest event. Otherwise, they wouldn't be granted an audience. Even if Dafei was now a cheap student of Makar Duke, the only way to meet him was to submit a mission.
But it was different in Caroline. Dafei was the president of a well-known chamber of commerce. He had status and could meet the mayor at any time. Of course, if he was bored and wanted to invite the mayor for tea to improve their relationship, then he would be wasting the other party's time and might even lower their relationship.
Under the guidance of the guards, Dafei once again saw the mayor whom he had not seen for a long time.
The mayor laughed and said, "Mr. President, it's been a while. I heard that you've subdued a group of foreign Fishmen. I wonder if you're interested in settling them in our city? This way, we'll obtain a large number of excellent and cheap underwater labor, which will contribute greatly to the development and defense of our fishery! "
Damn it! I haven't spoken yet, and you've already spoken!
Dafei had a difficult expression on his face as he said, "Erm, Lord Mayor, I wish to place the Fishmen in Light City first. The underwater defense situation there is extremely severe, and there is an urgent need for the Fishmen to guard it."
The mayor nodded and said, "That's right. Light City is the kingdom's strategic focus. We have to look at the big picture."
Damn it, I came here to ask you to do something, but I rejected you first. Is this how you find people to do things? Dafei hurriedly added, "But don't worry, Mr. President. When the scale of the Fishmen tribe develops, I'll definitely send some people to work in the city!"
The mayor laughed and said, "That's good too. Oh right, Mr. President, what brings you here today?"
Dafei took out the expired ship certificate and said, "Sir, this is the ship certificate of the Jade Dragon that I salvaged from the sunken ship of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce."
The mayor couldn't help but sigh and said, "What a pity for the ship. Whether it was the sunken ship or the loss of the escorted goods, it wasn't something that the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce could bear. As a result, the Chamber of Commerce quickly declined. By the way, why did Mr. President want me to see this? "
Dafei coughed dryly. "Well, Sir, I want to rebuild this ship, so I want to ask for your help."
The mayor was stunned. He then shook his head and laughed. "Mr. President, this is a giant ship. Whether it is your personal reputation or the reputation of the Dragon Cavalry's Chamber of Commerce, it is far from enough to build it. Moreover, the giant ship is a military facility, and there are extremely strict approval procedures. This is definitely not something that can be completed now."
What a standard answer. It was just as Dafei had expected. However, Dafei firmly believed that there must be something special about this ship certificate. It would not be a piece of trash! Some of the requirements to build a ship were set by the system. For example, reputation. However, there were some that could be accommodated! For example, approval? In short, no matter what, he had to find a way to get rid of this annoying approval!
Dafei's mind turned quickly, and he immediately used the words that he had prepared in the future. "But Sir, our Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce used to have a giant ship, right? This means that our Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce has passed the approval and already has the qualification to obtain a giant ship. Now that I have taken over the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce, I should continue the tradition and continue to obtain the qualification to have a giant ship! "
The mayor was surprised and laughed. "Mr. President, the approval is not a lifelong aristocratic system. In the past, the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce was prosperous, of course, it could pass the approval, but now, the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce has a long way to go …"
Of course, I know this, but I also know that you are a god-level mayor who has the godly skill of "get on the ship first, then pay later". How can you rigidly follow common sense? Let me tell you the truth. To be honest, I don't even want to meet the requirement of reputation!
Dafei directly showed his cards. "Sir, it is precisely because the Chamber of Commerce does not have a giant ship that it has a long way to go to revive. If we have a giant ship, the great cause of revival is just around the corner. Mr. Mayor, why can't we build a giant ship first, and then slowly complete the approval procedures?"
The mayor's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Mr. President, this matter must not be mentioned again! Building a giant ship without approval is tantamount to treason. Not only will I, the mayor, be dismissed immediately, no shipyard will dare to accept an order without approval. By the way, speaking of shipyards, I regret to tell you, Mr. President, that not only does our Eroline Shipyard not have the technical conditions to build a giant ship, there are very few shipyards in the entire Light Alliance that can build a giant ship. Not only that, the restriction on the construction of a giant ship is not only limited by the technology, but also the materials! Perhaps you don't know, but the first shipyard in the Taroran Military Port has the ability to build giant ships has already issued orders for dozens of giant ships, but because of the lack of materials, they can't build one even after a few years. So, Mr. President, even if you meet the approval requirements now, it will be a few years before you can build one. So, Mr. President, you should take advantage of these few years to continue working hard. There is no use in rushing this matter! "
Listening to the mayor's words, Dafei was stunned on the spot!
Reputation, approval, technology, and materials. These were the four mountains on the road to building a giant ship! Perhaps, according to the normal progress of the game, this was indeed not something that could be considered now. Sometimes, being too ahead of the curve was also a pain in the ass.
Dafei smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Mayor. I was too eager for quick success!"
The mayor shook his head and sighed. "Do you think I don't want the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce to revive quickly? But I really can't do anything about this! By the way, if you really have the qualifications to build a giant ship in the future, I suggest that you go to Taroran City to develop yourself and win the favor of the other party. That way, you might be able to cut the queue and build ships. After all, the shipbuilding orders there are too full. "
Dafei was stunned. "Cut the queue?"
The mayor shook his head and sighed. "Yes, when I think of a talent like you going to Taroran City to develop, I really don't know how many political achievements the mayor of Taroran City will get. Sigh, sigh …"
Sigh my ass! I'm already so busy in my own lair, and I still have to go to a new city to develop from scratch. At that time, who knows how many local players' reputation points will be riding on my head?
Wait! Dafei's eyebrows twitched. Why do I have to go to another city to be a pain in the ass? Isn't it good for me to be a boss in my own city? In that instant, a vague idea suddenly surged into Dafei's mind! Maybe I should change my strategy?
Dafei asked, "Mr. Mayor, why can't our Iroline shipyard build giant ships? Is it because we don't have the qualifications or the technology? "
The mayor shook his head and sighed. "Of course it's because we don't have the technology. As for the qualifications, the kingdom is eager to have as many factories that can build giant ships as possible. "
Hmm? Eager to have as many factories as possible? Isn't this encouraging the shipyard to develop technology? Dafei's thoughts instantly became clear, and he continued to confirm. "That is to say, if the shipyard has the qualifications and the ability, it can build a giant ship and put it in the shipyard when it has nothing to do, and the shipyard itself doesn't need the kingdom's approval?"
The mayor's eyebrows twitched and he said in a deep voice, "The supply of giant ships cannot meet the demand. The situation you mentioned has never happened before! But if someone wants to buy that completed giant ship, they must show the approval of the ship — "At this point, the mayor suddenly trembled and stood up!
F * ck! There's a chance! Dafei immediately stood up!
The mayor waved his hand to block Dafei's mouth, signaling for Dafei not to speak. At the same time, his eyes stared straight ahead as he entered a state of deep thought!
Dafei was suddenly overjoyed! There's a chance! Wahahaha! I understand now. Although there are many restrictions on players, the shipyard is actually not restricted. If that's the case, I will start with the shipyard!
After a while, the mayor suddenly clapped his hands and laughed. "I have an idea! I wonder if Mr. President is willing to invest in the shipyard of our city in the name of the Chamber of Commerce to develop giant ship technology? "
Wahahaha! Great minds think alike, you really are the god-like mayor in my heart!
Dafei said excitedly, "Of course I am willing! As an honorary citizen of our city, of course I have to contribute to the technological development of our city! "
The mayor was overjoyed. "Good! As long as you build giant ships in the name of technological development, not only will the kingdom not object, but it will also strongly support you! And the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce has obtained the qualification approval for giant ships before. If you participate in the development of giant ships in the shipyard, once you successfully build a giant ship, there is a high chance that you will pass the approval again and obtain a giant ship! Also, after the development of a giant ship, the reputation gained will also be huge, and it will also meet the reputation requirements for using a giant ship — in short, as long as the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce invests in the shipyard and develops a giant ship, you will very likely obtain a giant ship! If there are any small problems with the approval, I can help you solve them! "
I see, the purpose of this certificate is to show off my seniority! Dafei was overjoyed. "I am willing to invest in the shipyard!"
The mayor was overjoyed. "Very good, speaking of investment, President, do you still remember the 30 million gold coins that the exchange still owes you?"
F * ck! I remember it even in my dreams. I have no money and am waiting for that sum of money to fall into the pot! However, why did Brother Hell feel a strong aura of deceit coming from him?
Dafei coughed dryly. "Of course I remember."
The mayor sighed. "It's like this. Currently, the exchange has invested a lot of funds in the fishery, and the cash flow is not very flexible. Once the money is repaid, the next step of operation may be a little tight. So, I think we should move the funds more flexibly. Use your 30 million gold coins to invest in the shipyard. Not only can the exchange recover, but you can also achieve the goal of developing the shipyard, and you can also get dividends. Three birds with one stone. What do you think?"
F * ck! Dafei's jaw dropped to the ground. No wonder the 30 million gold coins had not been touched after so many days. So you are just dragging it on and don't want to pay it back? But I rejected the fishman's request as soon as I came in, and I still hope that he will help me settle the approval later. I can't reject him again, or else I won't be able to play happily with him in the future!
Dafei endured the pain in his balls and laughed. "No problem! Money, of course, should be used at the most appropriate time and the most appropriate place! "
The mayor patted Dafei's shoulder with satisfaction and praised. "Very good, very good! I will immediately invite the owner of the shipyard over to draft an investment contract and discuss the technological development plan! "
Dafei nodded repeatedly. "Good, good, good!"
Good my ass, I really don't have money! Could it be that I am going to invest in Hila again? Tsk! It's fine, money is not a big deal. I can sell any piece of equipment or Holy Vine Seed now, and I am not short of money.
