St George District, Sarch Street.
As soon as Klein and Jurgen stepped off the carriage, they saw a behemoth parked at the door of inventor Leppard.
The whole body is iron black, with three sets of 12 wheels, and the top of the chimney is like a ship, and the remaining smoke is floating inside.
This is a steam-powered car that Klein has seen in magazines and streets. It is described by the public as a ironclad ship walking on land and has a rather exaggerated body.
If it is not a street that has been built or rebuilt in the last 20 or 30 years, it will fill the road and leave no space for the carriage, so this kind of transportation can only be seen in certain areas and places.
At this time, the heavy doors with glass windows were opened and the two figures walked down.
One of them is the steam-powered car tycoon Franmi Cage that Klein has seen before. He has a quarter of the Fusac Empire bloodline. His eyes are very light blue, but he is tall and fat, and he has a pipe in his mouth.
The man next to him is wearing a heavy black wool coat, wrapped in a gray scarf, and looks nothing special. It is the most common black hair with brown eyes, but it gives an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
"Hi, Detective Moriarty, you are on time, this is my Lawyer and partner Pacheco Dawn."
In the speaking room, two strong men with round waists came down from the steam-powered car. At first glance, they were Franmi bodyguards.
I'm really unprofessional, shouldn't I come down first and then open the door for my boss? Klein grunted, smiled and asked, and then introduction got his own Lawyer Jurgen.
While waiting for Leppard to open the door, he casually chatted:
"Mr. Cage, is this steam powered car popular? Will many people like it?"
Franmi Cage laughed:
"Those who think they are decent say it is too savage and rough, and ordinary people ca n’t afford it. Only my fans of machinery and steam are willing to buy it."
"Mainly because many streets are too narrow." Klein said with relief.
Franmi Cage is an investor he found, not a credit to Leppard.
When he played cards in Klag Club, he mentioned this matter intentionally. The equestrian teacher Talim immediately said that Franmi likes similar inventions. You can meet and know each other in introduction.
This makes Klein very emotional: The club is indeed a good place to develop contacts, and the members who really join in will never value free food, drinks and event venues.
"haha, this is indeed a reason. As the population increases and the city grows larger, the carriage will definitely be eliminated because it is too slow. Now the world is pursuing efficiency!" Franmi is very good Said with confidence.
He smiled immediately:
"And I have already won an order from the military, and they want me to make certain improvements, as mentioned in the Mister Russell manuscript, adding armor bulletproof and covering the track to facilitate the easy road Can drive, in addition, plus a thick barrel, this will be a brand new war weapon. "
The Mister Russell manuscript ... Klein sighed silently, briefly not knowing what to say until Leppard finally opened the door.
In the following discussion, the protagonists are Jurgen and Pacheco. The two Lawyer sometimes compete against each other. Sometimes they discuss the terms with their employers. The unprepared inventor Leppard is in a daze beside him. Your own opinion.
Finally, the three parties reached an agreement, Franmi invested 1,000 pounds to occupy 20% of the shares, and the shares of Klein and Leppard declined accordingly, one by 28% and one by 52%.
At the same time, Franmi will acquire another 18% of the shares from Klein at a certain premium, for which he will spend 1,000 pounds, and it is after tax.
Similarly, he will buy a 9% stake from Leppard at an after-tax price of 500 pounds.
After such a transaction, Franmi became the largest shareholder of the newly established Beckland bicycle company, occupying 47% of the shares. He will be responsible for subsequent factoryization and sales promotion, and the company ’s account admiral has the 1,000 pounds he invested. , This is the initial start-up capital.
Leppard is the second largest shareholder, with 43% of the shares, and its job is to assist in the completion of batch production.
Klein only has 10% of the shares, which is purely financial investment.
And the 1,000 pounds he obtained from selling the shares also increased his personal wealth to 2,235 pounds, and he almost had the confidence to buy a Faceless Man master material-as private detective, he continued to accept entrustment for more than a month. Daily expenses do not require the use of deposits at all.
We have to pay £ 50 for Lawyer Jurgen, only £ 2185 left ... I have to thank Talim for turning back ... Klein thoughts flashed, signed and stamped, then got up and shook hands with Franmi and Leppard:
"Happy cooperation."
Franmi took out a gold pocket watch and glanced at it, laughed:
"Normally, we should have a lunch together to celebrate the agreement, but there is a influential figure waiting for me, I'm so sorry, there are many opportunities in the future."
influential figure, again influential figure ... the one behind Talim? I was reimbursed a lot of expenses with some fake news pointing to Aurora Union? Klein suddenly had a little bit of imagination, and quickly smiled and said nothing, don't care.
After leaving Leppard's house, after getting on a carriage, Jurgen suddenly frowned slightly:
"Sherlock, you promised to be too refreshing."
"Why do you say that?" Klein asked in doubt.
He does n’t even know what Lawyer Jurgen refers to.
Jurgen said quite seriously:
"When talking about share transfers.
"According to your description and the performance of Franmi, I can imagine the market prospect of the bicycle radiance. Although it is just an invention, the overall valuation will not be too high. 5000 pounds is a good price, but you should keep it more. More shares, so as to have better returns in the future.
"I originally thought that you would only sell 8%, and I was confident to talk about 500 pounds. As a result, you agreed to 18%. Even with only 500 pounds, you have recovered your initial investment several times. You should not be so anxious. . "
Because I'm in a hurry to use money ... But I did promise to be too refreshing just now, and I didn't hesitate at all. But this is a large amount transaction. This is not like normal me ... Klein recalled the previous scene, and I gradually have Some doubts.
could it be that I was unconsciously affected by Franmi or that Lawyer Pacheco? One of them is Extraordinary? Fortunately, the price is quite normal ... Klein thought, and said to Jurgen waiting for the answer:
"Almost New Year ..."
He didn't think about how to explain it at all, so he just found a beginning.
If the other person is a smart person, he will follow this beginning to associate and perfect the reason, and there is no need to describe it in Klein.
Of course, this is a trick for smart people, and ordinary people will ask "so what" "what is it" and "what happened".
Lawyer Jurgen is obviously a smart man. When Klein was silent for a moment, he nodded and said:
"I understand."
What do you understand? I have n’t thought of it myself ... Klein points to the steam subway station ahead:
"I get off here, I need to find an informant."
…………
Roaring forward, in a very powerful steam-powered car, sitting in the front row of Franmi rolled down the window and spit out a smoke ring, Lawyer Pacheco said to the less prominent side:
"Did you just use your abilities?"
“It ’s just passively a little inspiring.” Pacheco smiled. “My ability is not the most suitable for such a scene. I prefer to face government employees and company employees.”
Franmi lightly nodded and said:
"I just remind you.
"In this case, it is not necessary to use ability, don't delay the major event."
"I understand." Pacheco responded lowly.
…………
eastern district, a cheap cafe.
When Klein arrived, the old Kohler was already waiting there.
He took off his scarf, took off his hat, sat opposite, took out a stack of 1shilling banknotes and handed it to the other party:
"Next week ’s event funds plus the rewards of the second news, total 1 pound."
Recently, he has been very rewarding, because he has found the object of reimbursement.
The face of the old Kohler is obviously much more rosy than before, and some embarrassedly took the cash road:
"The news I gave last time doesn't seem too important ..."
"No, it is only important to distinguish it from the eyes of others. Many things that you think are insignificant may be the source of other people's money." Klein explained with a smile, "What is happening this week?"
Old Kohler took the stack of banknotes and stuffed it into his pocket while thinking, saying:
"As before, many people are still looking for Fool believers, haha, how could anyone believe Fool? This is not a good name."
…… Klein's mouth slightly moved:
"Did they make progress?"
Aurora Union is really persevering ... Klein thought helplessly.
"No, there is no such person at all." The old Kohler shook his head and turned to say, "Someone recently organized a strike, and I have been interviewed several times, saying that I want to work for more reasonable working hours and salary."
This era is a normal thing, but it may cause quite serious consequences ... Klein said thoughtfully:
"You pay attention to who is organizing this matter, but do n’t be too eager, safety first."
"Okay." The old Kohler cleared his throat. "A lot of gangster thugs and bounty hunters are looking for someone these days, I don't know why, who should have given a reward."
"Who are you looking for?" Klein felt cold and took a sip of coffee.
The warm liquid glides through his esophagus, warming his stomach.
Old Kohler thought a bit then said:
"A man named Ards Eiges."
Ards Eiges ... Ards Eiges? Klein lifted his eyes from the coffee cup and looked at the old Kohler opposite.
Is n’t this Mister Ards ’s full name? How could he be rewarded suddenly? Ince Zangwill? Klein relied on the capabilities of Clown and asked inadvertently:
"Did you say who it is?"
Old Kohler recalled and said:
"It seems to have the Balam lineage. I used to be a university lecturer."
