Chapter 244: Your Cainiao Station cargo has not been taken out for hundreds of years. Please go and pick it up as soon as possible.
Although Baroness Helena looked calm, her hands were clenched quietly under the table.
She didn't fully describe her situation, which was probably worse than others knew.
Two-thirds of the fleet sank. Seranis not only had to pay a large sum of money as compensation to the nobles who had invested in the fleet, but also had to pay pensions to the crew members and captains who had died. Those crew members were all carefully trained by Seranis and had many years of sailing experience. If they were lost suddenly, even the Seranis family would be seriously damaged.
Not to mention the ships that were sailing and the cargo on them. The word "loss" cannot be used anymore. It would not be wrong to describe it as cutting flesh and bleeding.
Baroness Helena invited Mo Cheng this time with the intention of making a last-ditch effort.
As for why he spoke bluntly about Seranis's situation before, no one is a fool. Mo Cheng would ask Margaret for information about the Seranis family. Baroness Helena also investigated Mo Cheng and knew that he had a good personal relationship with Margaret, the head of the law enforcement group.
The sinking of the Seranis fleet was no secret among the nobles, and since Mo Cheng had information channels from the nobles, he naturally could not hide this matter from him. Rather than having someone else bring it up later, it would be better for Baron Helena to say it openly herself.
However, what Baroness Helena said was only information known to all the nobles. Baroness Helena did not dare to mention a word about how much Serannis had lost, how much compensation he had to pay, or even how long it would take to recover such important information.
This information could only be kept secret, and even family members who knew about it were ordered to keep silent.
But no matter how the news is hidden and kept secret, there will always be people speculating that the Serannis family is in a very difficult situation now, and the fastest way for Baron Helena to recover is to invest in the shares of the Glimmer Ointment.
Baron Helena was not without other avenues, but most of those avenues led to the nobles. Before he could find out who was secretly harming the Serannis fleet, Baron Helena did not trust other nobles.
Baron Helena waited nervously for Mo Cheng's reply. She was also worried. For Seranis, Mo Cheng was the best partner who did not require any extra cost. If she chose someone else, she might have to pay more interests or even touch the fundamental things.
"Okay, when will we start construction to expand production?"
Mo Cheng didn't think about it for too long. The castle in Baroness Helena's hands was exactly what he needed. Not to mention that after knowing that Serannis also had two shipyards under his name, he became more inclined to cooperate.
He remembered that there were good things on the ocean, which might not be suitable for his own use, but were undoubtedly good things.
"Oh, you agreed?"
The other party agreed without any hesitation or thinking, which was so decisive that even Baroness Helena, who was used to the business world, was stunned.
This man didn't seem to be discussing investment in a promising product at all. Instead, he seemed to have a clear goal. He walked into the mall and went straight to something, pointed at something and asked the price. If he could afford it, he would just pay and leave.
The whole process takes no more than five minutes, and there is no bargaining.
"Did you bring the contract?"
“I brought it…I brought it!”
Baron Helena was startled, realizing that Mo Cheng really agreed, and quickly took out the prepared contract and put it on the table, "Please take a look at what is inappropriate and we will make some changes."
Because Mo Cheng was too decisive and straightforward, Baroness Helena couldn't help but use honorifics when speaking .
Mo Cheng took a quick look at the contract and directly made his suggestion: "To set up a production line, renovate the old castle in the suburbs. You arrange for someone to learn how to make the shimmering ointment from me. In a few days, I will draw the production line machine, and you can solve other problems."
Mo Cheng knew very well what needed to be done to invest in technology. He only needed to be responsible for the technical issues of production, and everything else was not his responsibility.
Moreover, he knew his own limits, and Mo Cheng understood that he was not cut out for business. The quantity of products produced by his own workshop, and even the factory that he later opened, could not even satisfy Fairhaven.
Because there were so many issues involved, so many that Mo Cheng was not willing to bother solving them himself.
Just the simple issues of stable raw materials, sales channels, and transportation routes are enough to give people a headache.
After discussing some issues such as profit sharing and responsibilities, Mo Cheng extended his hand and said, "Then, happy cooperation."
Baron Helena also extended her hand, "Happy cooperation!"
Baroness Helena's hand was very soft and boneless, but Mo Cheng quickly pulled his hand away.
It will take some time for the factory to open, and the employees of the Albert House factory will be invited there with high salaries. They are experienced employees and play a vital role in the newly opened factory.
As for Mo Cheng, he also obtained the authorization of the castle and could openly conduct destructive exploration in the castle. If anyone asked about it, he could attribute it to the design of the new factory.
If all else fails, they can also demolish the entire castle to look for the legacy left by the alchemist. Anyway, the only thing that is truly valuable in that place is the legacy. If the castle is demolished, it will be more convenient to rebuild a new factory.
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 gained additional benefits from this contract.
But neither side had the intention to explore or point it out. Mo Cheng only wanted the alchemist's legacy under the castle, plus the dividends he deserved.
What Baroness Helena wanted was simpler: to invest in the Glimmer Ointment and bring Serannis back to life as soon as possible.
When the main interests of both parties are met, other minor things will not be taken into consideration.
After dealing with Baron Helena's affairs, Mo Cheng walked on the street, thinking about what he should bring with him to the historical fragment.
When passing by a blacksmith shop, Mo Cheng suddenly remembered that he seemed to have brought back something from the historical fragment.
A helmet of the lich Dom, and a keepsake.
Mo Cheng rummaged through his pocket and finally remembered the small badge with four hammers crossed together and it saw the light of day again.
That was a token of trust given to him by Dennis, but it was obvious that Mo Cheng didn't know how to use it.
"So when Dennis gave me this thing, he probably didn't expect that I would need hundreds of years to extract the promised weapon, right?"
In the sunlight, the brass badge shines brightly.
