In the study, Testero was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of hot tea with his big bear paws. He looked very funny.
Of course, he couldn't be blamed for this. Tang En's tea was good stuff, and it was hard to get anywhere else. Being able to get a cup of tea was already worth the price.
The two sisters, Vanilla and Coco, sat next to him. However, the two of them kept silent, occasionally glancing at Tang En from the corner of their eyes. If Tang En looked over, he would definitely receive four rolling eyes.
Well, the sisters still held a grudge against him.
What happened last time had nothing to do with him!
Tang En rolled his eyes and simply ignored the two of them. He asked directly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Everything in New Bul-Kathos was now on the right track, and everything there was basically under the control of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. It could be said that New Bul-Kathos was completely inseparable from the Datang Chamber of Commerce. Once the Datang Chamber of Commerce left, the whole city would instantly collapse.
Tang En didn't think that Testero came to talk to him about these things.
"It's like this. I heard that magic-powered phones have been popularized here, so I want to buy some for our administrative staff."
Testero looked at Tang En eagerly. He had already experienced the convenience of a magic-powered phone. It could be said that with a magic-powered phone, all aspects of efficiency had increased by a lot. Most importantly, it didn't require any strength to use it. Even an ordinary person could use it. This indirectly increased the strategic position of the magic-powered phone.
"Of course, no problem. Products are produced to be marketed. How many do you need? Tell Fiona later, and I'll send them to you when they're ready."
"Ten thousand … Eight thousand, no, five thousand, five thousand is enough!"
As soon as Testero said 10,000, he noticed the change in Tang En's eyes, so he quickly lowered the price by two orders of magnitude. In fact, there were only two to three thousand people in charge of the management system in New Bul-Kathos. Testero initially wanted 10,000 units because he wanted to equip them, and also because he wanted to sell them himself to enrich the treasury of the royal family.
Unfortunately, he underestimated Tang En's intelligence. With the help of the Datang Chamber of Commerce and the Ghost Agents, the situation in Singapore was one-way transparent, and Tang En knew everything.
"Three thousand. Take it or leave it."
Tang En rolled his eyes. "The market for magical phones is very hot right now. Our production capacity can't meet the demand at all. Also, as you know, Solant has returned. A large number of administrative staff need magical phones. We still have an order gap of 100,000 magical phones. At most, we can squeeze out 3,000 units for you."
Testero frowned and bitterly smiled. "That's too little …"
Tang En repeated, "Take it or leave it."
"Yes! Of course! "
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat! Even if there were only 3,000 units, they could still squeeze out some private goods. They could casually sell them for a million or so gold. The profit was enough to make anyone jealous.
Moreover, if it weren't for the Datang Chamber of Commerce's store in New Bul-Kathos that hadn't opened yet, he wouldn't have been able to do this business.
Tang En looked at Testero with a half-smile. "Not bad. Now you know how to seize business opportunities."
Testero laughed. "You're joking. I'm far from being as good as Teacher Tina."
In Testero's heart, Tang En's position could be said to be second only to the God of Fire, Kalomariv, and then Tina. After all, Tina was the teacher who had personally taught them knowledge. He still respected Tina a lot.
"Apart from the magical phones, we also need to increase the quantity of our purchases, especially the new magical trucks."
"Well, magical trucks are also in short supply now …"
"Tang En Majesty …"
"Don't look at me like that. It's not cute at all."
Tang En felt a chill run down his spine. "I understand. I'll find a way to reserve some goods for you, but there can't be too many. At most, a hundred or so."
Testero was overjoyed. "That's enough! That's enough! "
The Ryan Empire was vast but sparsely populated, and the highway in the platform hadn't been completed yet. The road conditions were very bad, and Mana Sedan couldn't travel smoothly. There wasn't much point in purchasing them back. However, magical trucks were different. As cargo vehicles, they were naturally more adaptable to the road conditions. In addition, the Ryan Empire's bulk trade was mostly low-end goods with low value and large quantities, such as furs and herbs. In the past, a single purchase would require dozens or hundreds of carriages to transport the goods, and the profit would only be a few thousand gold coins. It wasn't worth it.
However, if they used the powerful magical trucks, it was very likely that only one carriage would be needed to transport the goods. Not only would it be much safer, but the profits would also be greatly increased.
"And then …"
"Stop!"
Tang En hurriedly pointed at Fiona. "What else do you need? Send a list to Fiona. She'll tell you the details later."
"Actually, it's nothing …"
Testero said embarrassedly. "I wanted to ask if you could build a few of those aviation towers you're building in the Ryan Empire."
"Oh?"
Tang En looked at him with interest. "You know what they're for? You're going to build them? "
"I don't know."
Testero shook his head without hesitation. He then said confidently, "But I know that the Datang Chamber of Commerce can only produce good things! Good things can only be done sooner rather than later! "
Tang En couldn't help but laugh. "You're smart."
Testero was right. Once the construction of the aviation tower was completed, the civilian version of the airship would definitely be put into trial operation immediately. As long as there were no problems with the trial operation, the airship would be popularized in the Ilrus Empire.
If Testero had waited until then to apply, Tang En probably wouldn't have had the time to take care of him.
But things were different now.
"Congratulations, you've caught the last bus."
Tang En smiled and gestured for Fiona to explain.
Fiona smiled. "Since Solant has returned, we're planning the reconstruction of all the cities in Solant's territory. This includes the construction of the aviation towers. This time, we can include the Ryan Empire."
Testero was overjoyed. "That's great!"
"And I have a suggestion."
Fiona continued. "Since Solant has returned, the Ryan Empire and the Irus Empire will be directly connected. There will no longer be any obstacles in between. So I suggest that we open up the borders and open up free trade between merchants. This can greatly promote the economic vitality of both sides."
Testero said without hesitation, "No problem."
Now, he had tasted the sweetness of economic trade. In this day and age, everything was illusory. Having money was the most important thing.
However, the money in his hands was now printed by Tang En …
"After the construction team of the Star Diamond Bank completes the highway network in the Ryan Empire, they will continue the construction and connect it with the highway network in Solant's territory. This will form a huge highway network that completely covers the Ryan Empire, Solant, and Irus. With a connected highway network, it will only take a few days to drive a Mana Sedan from Alinx to New Bul-Kathos."
"If Your Majesty Testero can guarantee the safety of our citizens, I think there will soon be a lot of rich people willing to go to the Ryan Empire to enjoy the exotic scenery. Many people have long yearned for the rough and wild style of the Ryan Empire, but unfortunately, their safety has never been guaranteed …"
Fiona said to Testero meaningfully. "Your Majesty Testero, you must know that tourism is also a very profitable industry. The tickets, souvenirs, food, and accommodation of tourists all cost money … Tourism can be said to be a very profitable business. As long as you develop it well, you can just sit there and collect money."
"Thank you for your advice, Madam Fiona!"
Testero's eyes lit up. He found a new way to make money. "I'll go and discuss this with those guys later!"
Tang En laughed inwardly. Although they had given Testero a way to make money, it wasn't certain who would benefit the most from it.
Of course, the citizens of the Irus Empire could bring a lot of money into the Ryan Empire, but at the same time, this also meant that the economy of the Ryan Empire would become more dependent on the Irus Empire. If there was any conflict that caused tourists to stop going to the Ryan Empire, their economy would instantly collapse.
The Ryan Empire couldn't afford that kind of loss.
With the unilateral export of the Irus Empire's economy, technology, and culture, the Ryan Empire had been completely tied to the Irus Empire. The two sides had become an inseparable community of interests. In other words, the Ryan Empire had been held hostage by Tang En. After tasting the benefits, they wouldn't leave on their own accord. The culture of the two sides would speed up until they became one.
This made Tang En's plan of invading a country without shedding a drop of blood.
In this case, Tang En didn't even need to rule the country in name. It was enough to use all the resources of the country.
"What else do you want to say?"
Fiona smiled. "If we need to build a new project, we won't forget about the Ryan Empire."
"That's all. Also, let me tell you a piece of good news. The land dragon breeding industry will have a stable output at the beginning of next year."
After drinking a cup of tea, Testero stood up happily. "Then we'll go back first."
Tang En waved his hand. "Take care. I won't see you out."
Vanilla and Coco, who had been silent all this time, stood up and followed Testero to the door. However, they stopped. The two of them were pushing each other back and forth. No one knew what they were doing.
"You go …"
"You go!"
"You're the older sister, so you go!"
"You're the older sister, so you go!"
"That's why you'll only admit that I'm your older sister now!"
Vanilla turned around and glared at Tang En with a look of dissatisfaction.
Just as Tang En and Fiona were puzzled, Vanilla said bitterly, "Lord Envoy, when are you going to marry us?"
"…"
Tang En spat out the hot tea in his mouth. "Huh!?"
Fiona's eyes turned sharp!
