Paladin of Asgard Chapter 480: 【Business Knight Dufresne】
"Since the beginning of the 20th century, human science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and several research stations have been built on the Antarctic continent one after another, and each one is getting closer to the South Pole." Ander said.
"A few years ago, the Americans tried to establish a research station at the South Pole, which was less than two hundred kilometers away. We were worried that they would discover the existence of Hearth Valley, so we secretly created a little trouble for them. They abandoned their original construction plan and moved to a farther outlying area."
Paused, he continued: "But in the second half of this year, Americans and Europeans joined forces and came to the South Pole again to prepare to build a research station. This time they have a large number of people and sufficient supplies. It cannot affect their plans, and they have already laid the foundation, and it is estimated that the research station will be built soon."
Luo Wei was silent for a moment, and then said: "If they want to build it, let them build it, isn't it still more than a hundred kilometers away, and it is surrounded by mountains [567 Chinese], the terrain is hidden, it should be unlikely to be discovered .”
"If found out..."
Luo Wei said again: "It's not a big deal if it is discovered. The research stations are all led by human governments, and they will have a sense of proportion."
"Okay, I understand." Ander nodded.
"Dong dong." Luo Wei was talking with Ander, when there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in."
While speaking, Luo Wei turned his head to look, and saw a man with a gentle appearance coming in, and he came to him with a somewhat cautious gesture: "The great lord."
When Ander saw him, he couldn't help but help his forehead: "Dufrean, are you going to recommend your idea to the great lord this time?"
"Yes." Dufresne nodded.
Ro Wei was a little curious: "What do you think?"
Andre said with a smile: "Before joining the Knights, Dufresne was an excellent banker, very good at business, but unfortunately he was framed and sent to prison, until one of our old knights found out And saved him."
"It's just that, although he is now a paladin, he is still obsessed with secular business, and has repeatedly suggested that the knight order invest in business. Now many people call him "merchant knight". "
Rowe looked at the reserved Dufresne, and Dufresne said, "That's right, High Lord. I think even for the Silver Hand, more money is necessary, at least there is no harm. If the Knights invest in business in the secular world, I am willing to contribute voluntarily to manage the wealth for the Knights.”
At the beginning, some people in the Supreme Sanctuary also suggested that Luo Wei should invest in the secular world, but he thought it was troublesome, so he refused.
However, Luo Wei does not reject business in his heart. After all, as Dufresne said, more money is at least not harmful. And if you think about it carefully, it is indeed much more convenient to master some secular resources on the earth.
So he thought for a while: "Is this your interest?"
Dufrein hesitated: "It can be said. For me, management is indeed a challenging and fun activity."
Luo Wei pondered: "Although money does not equal evil, people who often deal with money will inevitably encounter more temptations and traps. Dufresne, can you guarantee that you will not fall into it?"
"Of course. In fact, as a banker, I have been tested by money for a long time, otherwise I would not be qualified to enter the Silver Hand." Dufresne said.
Luo Wei nodded. The Silver Hand has always had character requirements when recruiting new recruits, at least above-average moral character. The color of liquidation is light yellow or even almost pure white, and profiteers are definitely not allowed to enter.
"I think you can try it, Andel." He looked at Andel.
Andel: "This... But we don't seem to have much currency in secular circulation."
"It's enough to exchange some gold, and I still have some dollars in my hand, which I don't need most of the time." Luo Wei said.
But Dufresne shook his head and said: "Lord, I think it's better not to exchange gold for currency, it's very uneconomical."
"Do you have any good suggestions?"
Du Fran: "You are the **** of Asgard. I think you should be able to easily obtain some things that the earth does not have, such as the technological creations of alien civilizations. The entrepreneurs on the earth will definitely be willing to pay a high price for them."
Lo Wei thinks this is true. Some technological creations are not expensive in the universe, but they are of great value to humans at this time, far more meaningful than gold.
After thinking for a while, he took out a fist-sized boulder from the holy deed space. The boulder exuded a light blue light and looked very beautiful. Those who didn't know the goods might think it was some kind of jewelry.
In fact, this is the high-level energy he got on Emperor Shia's spaceship.
Rowe handed the round stone to Dufresne: "This is a kind of energy stone, which can be regarded as a fairly advanced technological creation, let's sell it to a man named Howard Stark. "
"Stark Industries?" Dufresne said ~IndoMTL.com~Yes. "Rowe nodded, he believed that old Stark would be very interested in this kind of thing.
"As for the selling price, it depends on your ability, Dufresne Knight."
…
A few days later.
The headquarters building of Stark Industries Group stands quietly in the bustling New York City. As the world's top technology company, even in New York, it enjoys extraordinary treatment.
In the minds of many people, Stark Industries is the holy land of technology and industry.
At this moment, Howard Stark, the founder of this company, was standing alone in a small conference room, with various drawings on the table in front of him, which were complicated.
Flipping through these complicated industrial drawings, old Stark frowned, obviously encountering a huge problem.
A middle-aged man with a round face came in from the door. Old Stark was obviously familiar with him. Plans for the next phase of the reactor have been delayed yet again."
Anton Vanke shook his head: "Stark, we should have made this preparation a long time ago. The Ark reactor is too much beyond this era, and I won't be surprised even if I don't see it in my lifetime."
Old Stark was silent.
Anton Vanke added: "But if our plan is successful, maybe the whole world will be changed. This is definitely a great achievement."
"Yeah."
The two began to discuss various difficult terms around various industrial drawings, sometimes arguing and sometimes thinking.
At this moment, a secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Stark, there is someone downstairs who wants to see you."
"Who?" asked old Stark.
The secretary said: "He called himself Dr. Dufresne, and said he wanted to discuss a big deal with you."
