Chapter 42 Crazy Highway Project
Ten minutes later, in a private room that Riley reopened in the restaurant, after listening to the self-introduction of the middle-aged man, he couldn't help being stunned. △ Vertex Fiction,
The middle-aged man who showed interest in roads was neither a knowledgeable aristocratic official in the Candela Empire nor, as Riley guessed, it was someone in the Candela Empire who received the news and smelled it from the road paving. Chamber of Commerce representatives of interest.
This guy is not from the Candela Empire at all!
"The United Kingdom of Nozdormu?" Riley frowned, thinking about it for a long time, but he still couldn't think of where he had heard the name of this country.
It stands to reason that the name of this country is so special that it should leave an impression after hearing it once.
"It's normal if you don't have an impression." The middle-aged man opened his mouth, showing a mouthful of white teeth and smiled: "Because our Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom has been officially established for less than a year, and the kingdom is very small, so naturally it will not cause trouble. How many people pay attention to it, and it should be well-known in this continent."
"It's been less than a year since the founding of the country?" Riley looked at the middle-aged man who claimed to be Gaza suspiciously. "Excuse me, the name of your country...does it have any meaning?"
Gaza laughed: "The name actually says it all. Our Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is not a kingdom in the traditional sense, but a kingdom founded by thirteen chambers of commerce."
"Huh?" Riley was a little dumbfounded. "The chamber of commerce jointly founded the kingdom? How is this possible!"
Gaza smiled and waved his hand: "Vice President Riley, the so-called country is actually just a name for a force that can be controlled by territorial rights, autonomy, and autonomy. Now our thirteen chambers of commerce have jointly controlled enough land. And with full autonomy and self-government rights. There is nothing wrong with calling yourself a kingdom."
Riley stayed for a while. Still some can't accept such a novel concept.
"You are jointly formed by thirteen chambers of commerce, so who will take the lead?"
"Our thirteen chambers of commerce have formed a joint meeting to discuss major food items within the kingdom and make joint decisions. Although every once in a while we will appoint someone to serve as the chairman of the joint meeting of the kingdom, who is considered the leader of the kingdom in name, but No chamber of commerce or individual has absolute dominance." Gaza replied with a smile.
Riley couldn't help but tapped his head, thought for a while and said, "Why do I think this pattern sounds familiar..."
"Of course you will be familiar with it, because this model is actually somewhat close to the current Congress of the Principality of Standing."
Riley was taken aback: "Do you know the Congress of the Principality of Standing?"
The Principality of Standing is a small principality on the border of the mainland. Although the Principality of Standing has attracted a lot of attention in several surrounding countries because of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, it is extremely inconspicuous on the entire continent of Sainz, and there will not be many people at all. people to pay attention.
And this Gaza even knows the parliamentary system of the Principality of Standing, and has shown a certain degree of understanding, which is really a bit strange.
"Of course I know, because the joint meeting system of our Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is actually adapted from the parliamentary system of the Principality of Standing. Speaking of this, I must say to Xu Yixu, the chairman of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce I sincerely admire him. He was able to come up with such a brand new political model, which is like opening a whole new door for us. If it weren't for him, our Nozdormu Merchant United Kingdom might not have appeared at all. "
Seeing Gaza's undisguised expression of appreciation, Riley was even more puzzled.
According to the self-introduction of Gaza just now. Their Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom borders on the southeastern border of the Kendela Empire, and the straight-line distance from the Principality of Standing even exceeds 5,000 kilometers.
Why do they know so much about the Principality of Standing and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, which are five thousand kilometers away?
"This is not surprising. We are all businessmen, and the way to obtain information is better than ordinary people. But when we noticed the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce and started collecting information about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, we would receive information from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more frequently. All kinds of information. Among the thirteen chambers of commerce, including our Huayue Chamber of Commerce, they all admire Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, because the emergence and development of Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is simply the greatest miracle."
"I don't object to that." Riley nodded. "Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is indeed a living miracle. But Chairman Gaza, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you coming to me to discuss road laying?"
Gaza smiled slightly: "You are sorry, I can't help it when I talk about the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. Cough... Okay, let's talk about the road. Vice President Riley, your Amley Chamber of Commerce is undoubtedly the only one A chamber of commerce that can fully pave an entire highway, am I right?"
Riley smiled and said proudly: "That's right. Although there are many chambers of commerce trying to enter this field, except for our Amly Chamber of Commerce, no chamber of commerce can independently complete the laying of the entire road."
"Is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce also okay?" Gaza asked with a smile.
Riley was stunned for a moment.
Although the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce has never designed the field of road engineering, whether it is the main materials cement and steel bars used by the Amrit Chamber of Commerce in laying roads, as well as various engineering magic machinery used, etc., all come from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
With the terrifying research and development strength of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, I am afraid that it only takes a period of research and development and practice to really complete the paving of roads independently.
"This... Even the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce cannot compare with our Amley Chamber of Commerce in terms of experience." Riley said seriously. "So if you want to pave roads, the Amley Chamber of Commerce is the only and best choice."
Gaza nodded, and did not continue to dwell on this issue, and continued: "Then Vice President Riley, if I want your Amley Chamber of Commerce to build a road with a total length of more than 5,000 kilometers, are you confident in completing it?"
"What?" Riley stared. "Over five thousand kilometers in total? Are you kidding me?"
"No, I didn't mean to be joking." Gaza looked serious, and it really didn't look like he was joking. "From the Principality of Standing to our Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom. The straight-line mileage on the map is close to 5,000 kilometers. If you want to build a road to connect it, the most mileage will certainly exceed 5,000 kilometers."
Riley stared blankly at Gaza for a moment.
"This...Although you are right, why do you want to build such a road? Do you know how terrible the total investment of such a road is?"
"Of course I know." Gaza smiled, but his expression remained firm. "Not only I know, but all the thirteen chambers of commerce in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom know about it. But in order to be able to connect the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom and the Principality of Standing most conveniently and directly, this is the best way."
Riley was speechless.
Gaza is right, but the idea is too shocking.
How terrifying is a road with a total mileage of more than 5,000 kilometers.
You must know that even in the Kingdom of Lampari, which currently has the most road mileage, all the internal roads add up. The total mileage barely exceeded 50,000 kilometers.
The construction of the first road in the Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is actually going to break through 5,000 kilometers, which is too exaggerated.
"Why do you insist on connecting to the Principality of Standing?" Riley was most puzzled by this question.
"Because the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is in the Principality of Standing." Gaza's answer was short but powerful.
Riley was speechless again.
After a long time, it turns out that the purpose of Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to build such a road is to get direct contact with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce more conveniently.
"Is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so attractive to you?" Riley couldn't help asking.
Gaza glanced at Riley, smiled and said: "Vice President Riley, if you can't see the horror hidden in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, then I can only express my regret."
Riley could only be speechless again.
It has been more than five years since he first came into contact with Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, but now he is despised by others for not knowing Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. It's just plain funny.
After thinking about it, Riley gave up the idea of arguing with Gaza. Instead, he thought about it in his mind, and then frowned.
"No, Chairman Gaza. Even if you Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom wants to build such a road, it is unrealistic."
"Oh why?"
"It's very simple, because according to the geographical location of the kingdom you described, there is no place bordering on the Principality of Standing at all, and the huge Candela Empire and the Kingdom of Rulson are separated in the middle."
Because of the desire to build roads on the entire continent of Sainz, the Amley Chamber of Commerce has in-depth research on the geography of the entire continent. How could Riley, the vice president, not know about the problems in the middle.
"No, there are still roads to connect." Gaza rummaged through his travel backpack and took out a rolled parchment.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a map of Sainz's continent.
"Look here." Gaza's hand points to the lower right corner of the Luerxun Kingdom in the lower left corner of the map, and then goes all the way west, drawing a crooked line at the bottom of the map near the endless sea, almost completely along the The coastline crossed the vast territory of the Candela Empire all the way, and finally stopped somewhere in the lower right corner of the Candela Empire.
"This is where our Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom is located. You see, from here to here, there is actually a long and narrow strip that the Kandela Empire doesn't need. We can use it to build a road."
Riley's eyes flicked over this line, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
"President Gaza, with all due respect, this idea is crazy. If my knowledge of geography is correct, the line you have drawn is completely on the mountain on the coast. In other words, if you want to build such a For roads, unless the mountains are dug out."
"Then dig it out." Gaza smiled.
"You're crazy!" Riley finally couldn't help shouting out. "Do you know how much it costs to open a road from the mountain? Let me tell you, the cost per kilometer of an ordinary road is less than five thousand gold coins at most, but if the road is built on the mountain, the cost will definitely exceed ten thousand gold coins , even higher! If you want to build more than 5,000 kilometers, you will need to spend more than 50 million gold coins!"
Gaza smiled and pulled Riley to sit down.
"Don't worry, I'm not crazy. Of course, I must admit that this plan is crazy. But Vice President Riley, I didn't say when the road will be repaired, did I?"
Riley was startled: "Then what do you mean?"
There was a hint of cunning in Gaza's smile.
"Actually... I just want to express to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce the sincerity of our Nozdormu Commercial United Kingdom to seek cooperation."
Riley froze for a moment.
He couldn't understand at all why the Chairman of Gaza, or the Nozdormu Business United Kingdom he represented, valued the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce so much, even to a crazy level.
Is Xinfei Chamber of Commerce really that important? (Want to know more exciting news about "Magic Industrial Empire"?
