Chapter 245 244. Your Cainiao Station Goods Have Not Been Taken Out for Hundreds of Years, Please Go and Pick Them up as Soon as Possible
Although Baron Helena's expression remained normal, her hands under the table were quietly clasped.
She did not fully disclose her situation, but in fact her situation was worse than others might realize.
Two-thirds of the fleet sank. Theranis not only had to compensate the nobles who took shares a large sum of money, but also paid pensions to the crew members and captains who died. Those crew members were carefully trained by Thelanis and had many years of sailing experience. With the sudden loss of personnel, even the Thelanis family was seriously injured.
Not to mention the sailing ships and the cargo on the ships, the word "loss" can no longer be used. It would definitely not be wrong to describe it as cutting the flesh and bleeding.
Baron Helena invited Mo Cheng this time just to make a last ditch effort.
As for why he told the truth about Thranis' situation before, no one would be a fool. Mo Cheng would ask Margaret for information about the Thranis family. Baron Helena also investigated Mo Cheng and knew that he and the law enforcement team Margaret, the leader of the group, has a good personal relationship.
The sinking of the Thranis fleet was no secret among the noble circles. Since Mo Cheng had a source of information from the nobles, naturally this matter could not be hidden from him. Rather than being brought up later, it would be better for Baron Helena to say it openly herself.
It's just that what Baron Helena said was only information known to the nobles. Baron Helena didn't dare to mention a word about how much Thelannis had lost, how much compensation it would take, and how long it would take to recover such important information.
This information can only be kept in her heart, and even family insiders have been given a silence order by her.
But no matter how to hide the information and keep it a secret, there will always be people who speculate that the Thelanis family is in a very difficult situation right now. The only way for Baron Helena to regain her temper the fastest now is to invest in Shimmering Ointment.
Baron Helena is not without other options, but most of those paths point to nobles, and Baron Helena cannot trust other nobles until it is investigated who is secretly harming the Thranis fleet.
Baron Helena waited nervously for Mo Cheng's reply. At this time, she was also uneasy in her heart. Mo Cheng was the best partner for Thranis without having to pay any extra cost. If you choose someone else, you may have to pay more benefits or even touch the fundamentals.
"Okay, when will we start construction to expand production?"
Mo Cheng didn't think about it for too long. The castle in Baron Helena's hands was exactly what he needed. Not to mention that after knowing that Thelanis also owned two shipyards, he became more inclined to cooperate.
He remembered that there were good things on the ocean. Although it may not be suitable for his own use, it is undoubtedly a good thing.
"Ah, you agreed?"
The other party had almost no hesitation or thinking process, and the way he agreed directly was so decisive that Baron Helena, who was used to seeing shopping malls, was also shocked.
This man didn't look like he was discussing investing in a promising product. Instead, he seemed to have a clear goal. When he walked into the mall, he went straight to a certain place, pointed at things and asked what the price was. If he could afford it, he just paid and left.
The whole journey took no more than five minutes, and there wasn’t even any bargaining involved.
"Did you bring the contract?"
"Bring it...bring it!"
Baron Helena was excited and realized that Mo Cheng had really agreed. He quickly took out the prepared contract and put it on the table. "Look at what is inappropriate and we will make changes."
Because Mo Cheng was too decisive and too cheerful, Baron Helena couldn't help but use honorifics when speaking.
Mo Cheng took a rough look at the contract and directly put forward his opinion: "To set up the production line, let's renovate the old castle in the suburbs. You arrange for someone to find me to learn how to make shimmering ointment. In a few days, I will draw the production line machine. Come out and you can solve the other problems."
Mo Cheng knows very well what needs to be done to invest in technology. He only needs to be responsible for the technical issues of production, and the rest is not under his control at all.
Moreover, he knew where his limits were, and Mo Cheng also knew that he was not a businessman. He had built a handicraft workshop, and even a factory later, whose product quantity could not be satisfied even by Fairhaven.
Because there were too many problems involved, so many that Mo Cheng was not willing to bother himself to solve them.
Just a few simple issues such as stable raw materials, sales channels, and transportation methods are enough to cause headaches.
After discussing some issues about division and responsibilities, Mo Cheng extended his hand and said: "Then, happy cooperation."
Baron Helena also extended her hand, "Happy cooperation!"
Baron Helena's hand was very soft and boneless, but Mo Cheng quickly pulled it out.
It will take some time to open the factory, and the employees of the Albert House factory will also be hired with high salaries. Those are experienced employees who play a vital role in the newly opened factory.
As for Mo Cheng, he has also obtained the authorization from the castle, and can carry out destructive exploration in the castle openly. If anyone asks, he can blame it on the design of the new factory.
If it really doesn't work, you can also push the entire castle to look for the legacy left by the alchemist. Anyway, the real value of that place is the heritage. If the castle is demolished, it will be more convenient to rebuild a new factory building.
Whether it was Baron Helena or Mo Cheng, both of them knew that the other party must have something unsaid, and they also knew that the other party had received additional benefits from this contract.
But neither party had the intention to explore or point it out. Mo Cheng only wanted the alchemist's legacy under the castle, plus the due dividends.
Baron Helena wanted something simpler, to invest in the Glimmer Ointment, and then bring Thranes back to life as soon as possible.
When the main interests of both parties are satisfied, other secondary things will not matter.
After dealing with Baron Helena's matter, Mo Cheng walked on the street, thinking about what he should bring with him when going to this historical fragment.
While passing by a blacksmith shop, Mo Cheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have brought something back from a fragment of history.
A helm of Dom the Lich, and a token.
Mo Cheng took it out from his pocket. The small badge with four hammers intertwined was finally remembered by Mo Cheng and saw the light of day again.
It was a token given to him by Dennis, but it was obvious that Mo Cheng couldn't figure out how to use it.
"So when Dennis gave me this thing, he probably didn't expect that it would take hundreds of years for me to extract the promised weapon, right?"
In the sunlight, the brass badge is shining.
