When discussing important matters, you must choose a secluded place away from the crowd, and the distance between the crowd and the crowd who don't need to know the secret, the better.

This has been common knowledge since ancient times. People who follow this law have also put a lot of effort into creating a private space to satisfy the need for secrecy in discussing things that are not on the table.

Some people build secret cellars in their houses for their own convenience;

Some people set up special secret contact points and secret messages to facilitate the exchange of intelligence information;

Those who have a little money have more or less come into contact with or have adopted the above methods, and the rich and status class has invented a more high-end method - [villa party].

The secluded lakeside villa throws away the bustle and bustle of Charlemagne's capital city of Lüders, and in the center of the exotic hall with excellent ventilation and lighting is surrounded by a round table that has been overly expensive to show off his wealth, and five men occupy a corner of the round table.

President of Longwei Iron & Steel Company - Bernard Pinault

President of the Wentel Textile Guild - Alain Wormtail

Jean. Louis Schneider, President of the Schneider Food Suppliers Association

Jacques Lumière, owner of the Lumière carriage transport house

Robert Pawn Shop Owner - Charles Robertet

The bosses of the first-class trading houses gathered, and every day countless money, goods, and goods flowed under their feet, and their wealth gathered in one place that shook the very foundation of the country, stirred up the river called the "monetary economic system", and sent countless people to heaven and hell.

With such a huge wealth in their hands, this group of big businessmen who should be carefree have a solemn face at the moment that they can wring out lead water.

The anger that was enough to burn down the magnificent villa was boiling in the chests of the five people, and a black hand that was invisible but clear to everyone was unceremoniously cutting their exclusive cake of interests.

"Capable new forces will emerge sooner or later, and we will not oppose or stop them, but new arrivals cannot climb up at the expense of the interests of their peers. ”

Pino, who runs the ironware trade, opens with a shy belly and makes an urn sound, and the scars left by the fights with competitors in his youth twist and twist with the movements of his facial muscles.

"If that little rascal who disrupts the order of the market is left alone, others will definitely follow his example!!"

Wentel slapped the table and shouted, the recent deterioration of his performance was reflected in the puffy bags under his eyes, dark circles under his eyes, and even more sparse heads.

In the attack on the rising star of the business world, Wintel is the hardest working of the five. The big businessman who controls the textile industry can clearly see what kind of abyss scenery is after the door of doom is opened.

"If we miss this opportunity, we'll all be doomed!Take advantage of that little bastard's trip to Lapland, gather men and horses to slaughter him immediately!!"

Unable to control the boiling hatred, the cotton cloth seller knocked over the chair and stood up, waving his clenched fists and letting out a hoarse roar, and the other four people in the meeting sympathized with Wentel, who was only one step away from insanity, and nodded vigorously after a few seconds.

Lumière clasped his hands and announced the only topic of the meeting with a sinister face.

"You must kill Siegfried Otto Lilin, or no one will be able to escape. ”

In order to survive, for the sake of profit, and for the sake that the beautiful things in front of them will not no longer belong to them, the bosses of the big trading companies who were originally unrelated to each other and have a grudge against each other have come together,...,

The paranoid man who meddled in any industry, introduced new technologies to dramatically increase production as soon as he got involved in a certain industry, and sold them as cheap as turnips and cabbage - Siegfried Otto Lilin and his trading company contributed to this feat, and it became the most wanted target of the Provisional Alliance, and there was absolutely no one.

Merchants had little choice between uniting to win the game, or taking a court summons, an IOU, a demand slip and putting their necks in a noose hanging from the beams of the house, or jumping from a relatively high place.

They did not intend to perish in silence, and in the spirit of "the rise and fall of the trading company, in one fell swoop, each member, and work hard", they tried to eliminate the V.E Foundation Co., Ltd. in their familiar fields with methods that have been proven to be very effective countless times in the past, but the Z flag was not raised, and the death flag was erected a lot.

Pino's powerful blacksmiths were the first to suffer misfortune. Amateur commercial spies intent on stealing the secrets of V.E Metals' smelting technology fell silent after climbing over the walls. A month later, a swollen male corpse floated in the moat of Longwy City, and terrified people rushed to search for other bodies that had not yet broken the ropes that bound their ankles and stones, and had sunk to the bottom of the river.

Although Pino's subordinates have become [rich], at least they are still complete. Schneider's attempt to interfere with V.E. Foods' massive acquisition of cotton and wheat fields was not so lucky, and the professional thugs who were sent out to correct the wrongdoing with violence were not so lucky. The next morning, when he saw 17 scalped corpses piled up in front of the trading house, Schneider vomited out his bile.

Even more tragic than them was Wentel, who, in order to resist the frenzied low-price dumping campaign launched by V.E Textiles, sent hooligans under his control to burn down rivals' factories, and the hooligans who were skilled at playing with knives and fire never returned. At noon the next day, an explosion occurred in the warehouse where the Wentel Textile Guild stored cotton. There were a total of 43 victims in this tragic incident. Among them were the eldest son, who was greatly admired by Wentel and was ready to inherit the family business in the future, and the youngest daughter, who was the most favored - the eldest son who took inventory of the warehouse and the little girl who pestered her brother to play with the corpses were not put together in the end, and only the identifiable part could be placed in the coffin.

Upon cleaning up the site, 13 unrecognizable bodies, but certainly not textile guild workers, were found under the rubble. Only Wintel knew that this figure matched the number of hooligans sent to sabotage the V.E Textile Company the night before, no more, no less, just right.

Unable to bear the pain of losing a child and daughter, and the pressure of frenzied revenge that would come to her door at some point, a month later, Lady Vyntel was summoned by the Almighty Mother Goddess.

At this point, Wentel's hatred and persistence towards Li Lin completely transcended the business level.

He and Li Lin.

Only when one of the two people falls, the war will end. Under his enthusiastic call, the leaders of the trading company who had a bad relationship with V.E came together.

The business tycoons, who had once had great confidence in their violent methods, found that V.E and Li Lin, the new opponents, had not only overwhelmed them in terms of technology, but also fought back with vicious violence far beyond the time of victory, and they could no longer sit still.

The tragic fate of the opponents who were overthrown and annexed by themselves in the past began to appear in the dream land constantly, and the penniless being hunted down by a large group of known and unknown faces, and the images of flying bills and gnawing at their bodies were interspersed with nightmares. With the heavy pressure of not being relieved at the mental level, these people also began to have physical health problems to a greater or lesser extent.

Weight loss, irregular heartbeat, deepening wrinkles, hair loss, headaches, toothaches, stomach pains......

[Come out and mix, sooner or later you will have to pay it back.] 】

No one has told them this "famous saying" so that they can sigh with emotion. However, the truth has long been in front of everyone, and the bigwigs who have understood the principle of [plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans] from the beginning, in addition to cursing the Li Lin and V.E Company, and praying to the mother goddess to bless them and their property, most of the remaining energy is focused on finding the only way to avoid the tragic outcome they have witnessed - to kill the root of the problem in their eyes: Li Lin. ...,

"He must die. ”

Lumière, who was not in a good mood after learning that the V.E consortium was preparing to enter the transportation industry, said coldly, as calmly as discussing the breakfast menu.

"The hands-on next house is the best in this industry. If your information is correct, the ice and snow of Lapland are his coffin. ”

"The information was confirmed by repeated information, and the crowd of people coming and going across the border confirmed that there was indeed a convoy of men in green fancy dress in the direction of Lapland in a motorcade bearing the V.E company logo, with more than 100 people, as described in the intelligence. ”

Robert of the pawn shop, the man who is terrified of the rumored new way of raising funds. It was the initiator of the gathering and the largest provider of financial aid for the assassination. The middle-aged man in his 40s sat upright in his position and chattered with the small family of a loan shark:

"The problem is with the guys you hired to do it, money is not an issue. As long as it solves the problem, everyone is willing to pay. But if you can't do it after paying the money, and you get into a lot of trouble......"

"You don't have to that extra heart. [Scavenging Crow] will indeed bury that annoying boy, and more than 100 people are no different from the appetizers between the teeth in the eyes of that group of guys. ”

The conference room fell silent.

The businessmen, who had more or less committed evil acts that violated the law and violated morality and harmed nature and reason, also showed taboo faces after hearing the name of the infamous [scavenging crow].

The bloodthirsty maniacs who roam the white mountains of Lapland in search of sacrifices are the nightmare of all who are out and about, and the hapless ones who run into these plague gods have nothing but bones left.

In turn, it is also very suitable for doing something that does not see the light, especially at a time when killers, hooligans, and thugs have no effect, this power is even more powerful.

"It's up to them. ”

The voice of Robert, the big benefactor, announcing the end of the question, made the other three people present relax together.

In the eyes of the merchants, the death of Li Lin and his minions was confirmed, and there was no suspense.

###########

"That one called [Locomotive] is really powerful!"

Roland stood on the wooden box and waved his hands exaggeratedly to compare the appearance of the wonderful objects he had seen last night, surrounded by children who were attracted to it, and a few idle teenagers were also mixed in.

"No horses, no pushes. The black front of the car screamed and dragged the wheeled room hanging in the back along the two metal sticks called "rails". ”

It is very difficult for a 5-year-old child in a mountain village to describe the appearance of a thing correctly and in detail, and thanks to Elise's education and Roland's own intelligence, it is really rare to basically match the actual situation.

Compared with the bards who are good at using vocabulary to modify content and attract listeners with bizarre text descriptions, the selling point of Roland's story is that it has experienced the operation of a model locomotive and the shocking sense brought by Li Lin's vivid explanation, and its authenticity is much higher than the ancient legends passed down by word of mouth, and the relevance of the story to life is also quite fresh and attractive to people who are used to living in the countryside.

"All in all, it's a great thing. ”

Unable to find more and better words to describe the sensory impact, the village's Scrabble champions can only be summed up in vague words.

"But what the hell is that, a magical creature?"

Chloe's milky voice was disgruntled and questioning, and Roland's poor description and her well-developed imagination drew in her mind a picture of a metal monster with a long body, a huge scream, and a fast runner. The little girl couldn't understand why that kind of thing made Roland feel amazing.

[Only Roland knows that he is too cunning. 】

The half-curious, half-gambling mentality makes Chloe's questions full of childish cute and provocative colors, and the playmates who love to be lively and afraid of the chaos in the world also coax. ...,

"Bragging, how could there be such a weird thing. ”

"What the hell is that?"

"Go back to your mother and ask. ”

The noisy laughter of the branch finch forced Roland, who stood on the wooden box and reveled in excitement, and was a little embarrassed at the moment.

"Who said I don't know! The kind of transportation called the locomotive was a miraculous invention that could take the people and cattle of the whole village between Lapland and Charlemagne with just a little mana!"

With his remarkable memory, Roland pieced together a weapon to fight back from his mother's conversation with the [big shots] of V.E. about the locomotive, and paid tribute to Chloe and the foolish followers.

The heckling listeners were speechless, stunned by the power of Roland's description of the locomotive and the convenient imagination, and the boy who showed off the exclusive inside information was once again triumphant.

It's just that if you are complacent too early, you will inevitably suffer.

"Since it's such a powerful thing, then Laura, do you know how that [magical invention] moves?"

Chloe's demolition attack, which contains Roland's most hated element, arrives as scheduled, but Roland, who is on fire, has no words to deal with.

In the final part of the meeting, Li Lin used trade secrets as a shield to block Elise from asking further questions.

Principle of operation, performance parameters, planning routes, construction methods, etc......

However, as an outsider does not have the opportunity to have outstanding β3 technical secrets, the V.E Foundation Co., Ltd.'s confidentiality rules stipulate that the technical data of locomotives and railways can be accessed by outsiders who are not the company.

"Even I can't just break the rules of secrecy. ”

In the eyes of the audience, it seems to be perfunctory and like a trick on other people's official tones to Elise, a proprietress who is extremely curious and very sharp-spoken, and Li Lin's narrow eyes and the fanatical idea of attacking the high ground of the unknown realm made this lady burn her passion all night, and she can't even figure it out at present.

What kind of magic device is crammed into the black, shiny, thick, long, stick-shaped front of the car, giving it powerful kinetic energy?

The problem that Elise can't parse for the time being, Roland won't even know.

The little news reporter had to show an embarrassed expression and walked down the wooden box amid everyone's laughter.

"Ling Lang is really innocent and lively, full of energy. ”

After observing the whole process of what happened in the village alley on the inside of the window, Li Lin hooked the corners of his mouth and said to the small politeness in the bar.

"The 5-year-old has a better memory, narrative and communication skills than his peers, and his tutoring is really good. ”

"Let him suffer a little, and the bad habit of having a big mouth can be broken. ”

The unhappy tone permeates the helpless and doting mother's love, Elise's gaze is withdrawn from the window, and the purple eyes that are still sleep-deprived and energetic are staring at the president of V.E Company, who seems to have a soft spot for milk drinks.

"Whenever the kid finds something good, he brings it out and shares it. ”

-- New toys, new handmade products, new harvests, and new things.

Mother joined in a little helpless proud smile, and it was not difficult to imagine that the results of Roland's actions were not entirely good, and that they had mixed up family life with some headaches.

Posing as a listener, Li Lin took over the topic and continued:

"Ling Lang is your pride, and I can expect to become an outstanding person in the future. ”

"If you get the praise of the youngest genius in the business world, and the president of V.E., who is also the one he is looking forward to, I am afraid that the child will not be able to sleep because of your evaluation. ”

"Zai Xia is just a businessman with a small family business, and he has more income than ordinary people. But a merchant is always a merchant, and there are countless great men to aspire to us rather than to aspire to such a humble profession as ours, such as priests, great magicians, paladins, and brave men—"...,

"Roland yearns for [making everyone happy]. ”

Having given birth to a child, the shrill and slightly retreating maternal voice cut off the teenager's self-deprecation, and the patient, loving, and slightly melancholy answer had a strange sense of nobility.

"[Gather everyone's efforts to build a railway], [Ordinary people can also enjoy its convenience], [Ordinary people can profit from it] - your explanation of the railroad last night made Roland see the possible form of his dream, and at that time he also regarded you as "like an adult to become when you grow up". ”

The mother paused, staring directly at the silent teenager.

"Your Excellency Li Lin, you are Roland's idol. ”

Small theatre time

Brunhill: I'm honestly surprised to finally make it to the top list.

Li Lin: Although it was an unexpected situation, it was indeed morale-boosting news.

Brunhill: The last prize quiz question was completely unanswered by readers?

Li Lin: Maybe it's because I suddenly got busy after the holiday, so this time the quiz questions are still the same.

Brunhill: Okay, the topic of this quiz is Charlemagne's royal capital - Lutèce, what is the origin and prototype of the name of this city?
