After dismissing a group of knights who were still riding horses, he understood that this car made of magic materials could be said to be indestructible. What else did a certain someone have to say? Of course, he was prepared to go on a rampage.
However, the heavens did not comply with his wishes. The driver's seat was occupied by the Grand Duke, and he did not intend to return it. Moreover, that old man looked like he was very familiar with the mage who was younger than him but no longer belonged to the younger generation.
No wonder he and the Warlock Saint were good friends. The two of them were very good at pretending to be familiar. The worst thing was that their foresight and judgment were quite accurate. The requests they made were very difficult to refuse, and not the kind of requests that were so pretentious that it was obvious that they wanted to take advantage of others.
They had to cooperate in the production of cars anyway. Rather than sitting in the passenger seat, it was indeed better to drive themselves. However, these two people did not have a driver's license. Even if they wanted to drive without a license, they had to touch the steering wheel, step on the accelerator, and brake …
Alright. Thinking about it seriously, it seemed that he was thinking too much. There was no such thing as a driver's license examination in this mysterious land. Besides, the most frightening thing for a person who did not know how to drive was that the other party would randomly crash into things and break the car, or not follow the traffic rules and get into an accident with other cars.
Not to mention the traffic rules in this mysterious land, there was no other car that would get into an accident with him. Of course, the carriage was an exception.
Moreover, the tree trunk that one person hugged was smashed into pieces. It made a certain someone think that he had built a chariot. The dent in the metal plate was directly restored to its original state with a magic shaping spell. Therefore, worrying about the car breaking was not a reason at all.
Therefore, it did not seem to be a problem for him to drive recklessly or for someone else to drive recklessly. Therefore, Lin agreed to let the Grand Duke drive and also taught him how to drive.
If there was a first time, there would be a second time. He agreed to let the Grand Duke but did not let the Warlock Saint sit in the driver's seat.
The two big shots had already taken their turns. As the manager of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce and one of the partners this time, it did not seem right not to let him drive personally. Therefore, a certain someone simply taught all three of them. Anyway, if everyone listened carefully and opened their eyes, they would be able to learn. It was difficult to hide it from others.
However, how the three of them would take turns in the driver's seat was a problem between them. Someone didn't want to interfere. On the other hand, a certain someone, who was sitting in the passenger seat, finally had the time to check the various data fed back by the car during the driving process. At the same time, he also had the time to chat with others.
Otherwise, once he held the steering wheel, he would have to pay attention to the road conditions, the condition of the car, and drive the car. He would not have any spare time to talk to others. The others were in a similar situation when they took the steering wheel. If he was not in a state of excitement and only wanted to step on the gas pedal to the max, then he was in a state of panic, driving left and right, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've felt so carsick …
When it was the Warlock Saint's turn to sit in the driver's seat, the Grand Duke finally had the time to ask about the mage who had created the car. "Sir Tripwood, as far as I know, you once showed Babak a large vehicle that can carry many people. How many people are there? "
"Strictly speaking, the more people you want to carry, the bigger the car must be, and the bigger the car, the more demands it has on the road. Therefore, there is no correct answer to this question. If I were to answer, I would say that the condition of the road, the horsepower of the engine, and the structure of the car body must be studied to determine how many soldiers the largest car can carry. "
"Oh, soldiers." Grand Duke Carvey's eyes lit up, and he revealed a sly smile.
"Don't say that the Grand Duke has never considered the military use of the car. In fact, everything has two sides. A knife in the kitchen is a kitchen utensil for cutting vegetables and fish; on the battlefield, it is a weapon for killing. It just depends on how the user uses it. "
"Then, do we have any way to prevent others from using kitchen knives on the battlefield?" the Grand Duke tried to ask in a joking tone. And of course, Ruan Wenyue was also quite concerned about such a question.
However, Lin laughed and said, "I am only in charge of the research and development, in charge of managing the production, and waiting for the mages to collect the money. Of course, this kind of thing is for the two of you who want to cooperate to worry about. As long as the money that I deserve is given, I have no objections to anything else. "
What he meant was that he didn't care who he sold it to or who bought it. Then, it was good news for the two who planned to participate in this cooperation. However, the two of them changed their minds and thought of different things. The Grand Duke revealed a sharp gaze, causing Ruan Wenyue to break out in a cold sweat.
Although the person sitting in the passenger seat didn't turn his head to look at the expressions of the two in the back seat, Lin Jin's emotions had already been grasped by Lin Jin's emotions. However, Lin had already grasped their mood swings. How could he not guess what was going on in their minds? It was probably that kind of method of eliminating competitors and monopolizing the benefits. Lin pretended not to know and said casually,
"Actually, looking at the entire maze, the market is very big. According to my plan, I don't only want to create vehicles that can be used by individuals, but also a large number of vehicles that can carry people or transport supplies. In fact, the last one is my original idea. I hope to change the current lack of transportation energy in the maze to solve the problem of materials for printing magic scrolls. And after the factory officially goes into production, how many vehicles can it produce? And as long as it is a machine, there will be wear and tear. Then, the follow-up maintenance and replacement of the old ones are destined to be the second and third time for people who have bought it before. It's just that the time span will be a little longer. What I want to say is that the market is very big, and these things can't be sold out. The best way is to cooperate with people you can trust and use the fastest speed to build the cars, sell them, and get the money in your hands. "
Duke Carville said, "Oh, don't you think that if only a few people know about this kind of thing, then it can, well, in your words, ensure the maximization of benefits?"
The Grand Duke's words were a little blunt, and Ruan Wenyue's back was wet with sweat.
Lin was still smiling and said, "If I want to monopolize this business, I have to organize my own people and arrange all kinds of things. This is too unrealistic for me. I'm a mage, and research is what I should do. And if I let others monopolize it, I might not be able to sit and wait for the money to be divided a few times before I'll be criticized for taking too much and find a reason to kick me out. At the end of the day, monopolizing a business can of course obtain the greatest benefits. Apart from making the monopolist waste too much energy on things other than the goods, it will also cause people to have some unnecessary thoughts and actions. So, I think it's best to have a competitive state. "
Such a stance made Ruan Wenyue inwardly sigh in relief. Duke Carville was a little dissatisfied, but then he thought of this man's past behavior and actions and couldn't help but smile wryly. "Could it be that you plan to be like coffee knowledge, or like the forums, throwing it all over the world and not care about it?"
A certain person had a lot of history of flipping the table when he was unhappy, so he couldn't help but be on guard. To an unimportant commoner, this was an act of selflessness. But to people above a certain level, how could they not see through the benefits and tricks inside?
Lin, who turned his head, grinned and said, "Didn't I say that whoever makes me have a hard time, I don't plan to let him have a good time either? It's just that the threshold of the car business is obviously higher than other things, and it's not something that small fries can get involved in. Anyone who can get involved is definitely someone with a certain level of strength and influence. In any case, when the time comes, I'll sit on the high mountain and watch the fierce battle below. It'll definitely be very lively. "
The Grand Duke was silent. He was far away from the core of the Empire's power, but it didn't mean that he didn't have power in his hands. And so-called power, wasn't it the power to make everything in the world operate according to one's will? He was no longer an adventurer who hid his identity and traveled through the maze. The position of the Grand Duke of the Empire might not be the highest authority in this world, but it wasn't something that a mage could challenge.
He understood what such silence meant for his good friend who had once risked his life for him and now had a Grand Duke in his identity. Warlock Saint Babak Abnahan said in a joking tone, "I say, great, wise, and brilliant Grand Duke, please listen to me, okay?"
"Go to hell, speak human language," Duke Carville said, pretending to be dissatisfied.
"Haha. What I want to say is, if you plan to deal with the person sitting next to me, don't count me in. I have no intention of challenging him. "
Hey, hey, I'm right next to you. Shouldn't these words be said behind someone's back?
"Oh, you admit that you'll lose to a young lad," Duke Carville said provocatively.
Hey! Although I'm still young in your eyes, is it good to say that in front of me?
"Ha, I want to tell you how troublesome this man is. You haven't tried it yourself, so you definitely don't want to believe it. But let me put it another way, you have to think it through yourself before you decide what to do next. He himself once said in a mathematics class, 'If in this world, I claim second place in running away, no one is qualified to claim first place.' Those who make a move without confidence are called idiots. Although I never thought you were very smart before, you have to consider the weight of these words. "
Well, a certain someone was already beyond awkward.
However, Duke Carville couldn't ignore the warning of his good friend of many years. Everyone understood the principle of beating a tiger to death and not killing it.
If there was a mage who claimed that he was best at running away, then anyone who wanted to deal with him would have to consider that if they didn't kill him the first time, then what they would have to face next would be endless trouble from a "mage," or even assassination. Perhaps the mages in the maze liked to fight head-on like warriors, but it didn't mean that they didn't have strange and unpredictable methods.
Reckless people were easy to deal with, but wretched people …
Then he thought of all the rumors related to this mage. Perhaps he should treat this mage, who was still not very reliable in his eyes, with a different attitude.
The Grand Duke let out a hearty laugh, as if to sweep away the haze that had been faintly planted before.
He didn't mind being on equal footing with others, and even having some people above him. After all, a mere Grand Duke wasn't at the peak of power in this world. His strength wasn't so strong that he could flatten everything in the world with his own strength. So in the face of many people, many things, as long as he adjusted his mentality, there was nothing that he couldn't adapt to.
