After the Full Level of the Profession

Chapter 991 Marianne Cotton

In the New World, in the center of Shuangqing City, extremely luxurious buildings have been built.

This building cost billions and was owned by the richest businessman in Shuangqing City, Marian Cotton, so it was named "Cotton Building".

There is only one room on the highest floor of the building. In the middle of this huge, empty room, there is a huge desk with a "world map" on it.

At this time, Marianne, who was wearing a formal suit, was sitting in an office chair. There was a huge communication crystal ball on the desk in front of her. Her father, Desmond Cotton, was talking to her on the phone through the crystal ball.

Desmond said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My dear daughter, I need to build a new railway here, but I don't have enough iron ore. Which country do you think can ship me some?"

Marianne smiled and said: "That's no problem, I'll check." She took out a pile of files and flipped through them, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that a mining company on the east coast of the New World has a large amount of iron ore for sale. I Just buy them all and send an ocean-going ship to transport them back to you."

Desmond couldn't help but said with joy: "That's great. Oh, the resource output of the Kingdom of Glen is deteriorating and can no longer keep up with our consumption. Now many things have to be imported from foreign countries, but I didn't have any in the early years. Do a good job in international trade and stay at home. Now all imports depend on your company."

It turns out that several years ago, after the black dragon was killed, the whole world returned to peace. Marianne wanted to do business in the Kingdom of Norma, but Desmond did not agree with transnational business. He believed that the Cotton family was a noble of the Kingdom of Glen, and it was enough to do business in the Kingdom of Glen. When doing business in foreign countries, without the protection of the country's noble status, the risks are very high, and the gains may outweigh the losses, so he opposed Marianne's opinion.

Marianne had no choice but to ask Robb for help. Robb helped her with some money, and then asked her to join forces with Shang Hui, convincing Shisuo and several Eastern sects to invest together, and eventually opened an international trading company focusing on international trade.

Marianne's international trading company was the first large company to seriously focus on cross-border trade. She worked in Robb's company with those merchant ships and merchants who just walked the Tea Horse Road. Under the guidance, the vision is very big and far-sighted.

What we do is cross-border transportation, cross-border transportation, and China's economy and trade, all of which are super generous.

Her company developed extremely fast. Within a few years, it had expanded to cover the whole world. Those maritime merchants who worked alone could not help but merge into her company and became a part of her company. Businessmen on the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road have all become departments in his company. Her company is better than the previous one, even surpassing all the businesses her father runs in the Kingdom of Gran.

In order to distinguish her achievements from those of her father, people call the company built by her father "Big Cotton Company", and the company founded by Marianne is called "Little Cotton Company". Of course, everyone now, anywhere in the world. A country, a big company, or even a regular consumer, if they are short of something, want to buy rare gadgets, or want to buy foreign goods, the first thing that comes to mind is "Little Coton Company", and even "Daketon Company" "Coton Company" often relies on the channels of "Little Coton Company" to purchase source materials.

Marian hung up the phone call to her father, stretched out, and looked at the world map on the table. There were red circles everywhere on the map. Each red circle represented a branch established by Little Cotton Company. These branches The ministry has spread all over the world.

She was quite satisfied with her current achievements and couldn't help but make a video call to Robb.

The phone call was quickly connected, and Robb appeared in the crystal ball. In the background was an airship flying high in the sky, and he was obviously lazy at the bow of the ship. Lillian and two ghost maids, one blue and one red, were joining him. Serve tea and water.

Marianne had a look of envy on her face.

Robb smiled and said: "What? Do you envy my leisurely and lazy life? In fact, you can do it too. Don't come to my place for two days every other time, but come to the spaceship to live there permanently. You …”

Marianne smiled and shook her head: "Although I envy your soothing and slow-paced life, I am just envious. If I really had to live that kind of life, within two days, I would miss this busy life again. , I like the feeling of enriching myself with work.”

Robb smiled and said, "Okay, okay, a strong woman like you is quite admirable."

Marianne said: "I'm calling you to confirm whether my current development direction is still correct, whether I have gone astray, and whether there is anything I need to pay attention to."

As we all know, Godafather has an extremely powerful ability to "predict the future". He can accurately grasp the direction of future development. Every idea he comes up with will often bloom beautiful sparks in the future. In the process of doing business, Marianne almost always asked Robb for his opinion, so every once in a while, she would ask Robb for his opinion from time to time, for fear that she was in the wrong direction. Robb couldn't help but think about it seriously: "What is the direction of development? Tsk..."

After thinking carefully for several seconds, Robb smiled and said: "The current direction is absolutely correct, but there is something worth noting about the future direction."

"Huh?" Marianne quickly asked humbly, "What do I need to pay attention to?"

Robb said: "Every business you do now is only at the business level. To put it bluntly, it is the exchange of goods. Trade means buying things here and selling them there. This way, you can go back and forth. Although it is going well at the moment, it is not. Without core technical capabilities, when companies similar to yours appear in the future, you will face fierce competition."

Marianne understood immediately: "What do you mean, who can imitate my company?" Robb smiled: "Yes, anyone can imitate a company that lacks core technology. I'm sure there are already some nobles. , I’m thinking of starting a multinational trading company. It’s not difficult to do this anyway. As long as you have money, ships, cars, and enough manpower, you can build a company like yours at any time.”

Robb said: "So, you have to prepare for this now. After all, other companies started late, and it will take a long time to catch up with you. You should take advantage of this time to research more advanced trading technologies and methods. , for example, bigger and faster ships, moving coal-burning steel battleships to the civilian field, and developing large steam ships. Another example is developing something like the airship I am riding in, and naming it an airplane. A large amount of cargo is transported in the air. Trains with larger load capacity, cars with larger load capacity, more advanced and smarter freight terminals, more advanced management... By the way, there is something called logistics, and you need to start preparing for it. From now on, when a customer sits at home and buys something from another continent on a mobile phone, five days later, your logistics will be able to deliver it to him. By then, who in the world can compete with you? An enemy?"

Marianne immediately understood: "As long as my company's ability to transport goods is faster and better than others, and others can't learn from my advanced transportation tools and methods, I will defeat the latecomers and stabilize my company." status."

"That's right!" Robb said with a smile: "This is probably the direction you should go next! When others catch up with you, you will research a newer direction."

Marian smiled and said: "Thank you, Lali! I feel like I have learned a lot." Marian also imitated Robb and laughed: "Although you are not an outsider, you still have to be polite, so as not to You said that again, only women and villains are difficult to raise, if they are far away, they will not be inferior if they are close."

Robb said: "That's because you were really rude last time. Is there anyone who betrays others like you? You actually brought out a rope and said you wanted to tie me up and play with me."

Marianne squinted: "You tied me up and played with it first, and then I wanted to try it in reverse to see what it felt like."

The scene was very awkward. After a few seconds, the two of them said at the same time: "Let's be normal next time we meet."

After saying that, the two of them laughed together.

Chapter 992 Lars Belmond Dracula

"Unparalleled Rice Wife Sudden!"

A shrill lightning flashed, and the two goblins fell down. Lars took back the holy sword and looked at it carefully in front of her. The lightning that filled the sword was a bit stronger than before. She was very satisfied with the continuous improvement of her "holy sword skill" in the recent period. She now has She is no longer a lolita, but a mature and royal sister. Her mature body and mature brain have allowed her to achieve better achievements in the practice of holy sword skills. Now she dares to face her with pride. Everyone says: "I am strong!"

However, the biggest problem facing the powerful Sword Master of Light now is that there is no enemy to fight.

"My excellent swordsmanship has no use. This is such a sad thing. Lars couldn't help but protested to the sea of ​​clouds at her feet. Robb, who was sitting on the bow of the airship, replied He turned around and said with a smile: "Lars, I don't agree with what you said. There is no use for martial arts. It means that the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one needs to fight. This is a very happy thing. It is sad to use two It's really rude to use one word to describe it. I should use the word "Xingxiang" instead. Lars said silently: "I also know this truth, but I practice swordsmanship every day just to protect the Holy Light. Now there are no monsters coming to make enemies of the Holy Light anymore. I feel so lonely." Robb said with a smile: "That's because the Holy Light is no longer an enemy of others, and others will not be enemies of the Holy Light. If the Holy See of Light is still seeking its own selfish interests, attacking heretics and excluding dissidents, then there will be Countless people have become enemies of the Holy Light. But do you like that kind of Holy See of Light?"

Lars: “I don’t like it!”

Robb smiled and said: "Then there is nothing we can do, just be free."

Lars: "No, no, no, no, I don't want to be idle, I want to fight powerful enemies, and I want to protect the Holy Light, otherwise I will almost lose the meaning of my existence."

At this time, Xiao Yi happened to come out of the cabin. She was no longer a holy nun, she had even returned to secular life. She even gave birth to a child for Robb, but she always wore a nun's uniform and had not returned to secular life at all. look. Seeing her appear, Robb's eyes suddenly lit up and he smiled: "Lars, since you want to use your swordsmanship so much, I will play the Guardian of Light game with you." Lars said curiously :"How to play? "

Robb took out a goblin costume, put it on, and instantly turned into a green-headed goblin. Then, he swayed to Xiao Yi's side. Before the latter could calm down, He was carried on his shoulders by Robb, putting on an evil look, and laughed: "Hahaha, catch a nun, take it back, wash it, skin it, and have a good meal." Xiao Yi: "Hey! Put me down, it’s not a good thing for the child to see this scene. Lars’s eyes lit up: “Hahaha, I understand how to play.

She suddenly raised the holy sword in her hand, pointed at Robb and said:

Robb laughed sinisterly: "A Guardian of the Holy Light who overestimates his capabilities? Hahahahaha! Look at how cute you are, can you beat this goblin?" Lars snorted: "Justice. We will defeat evil!"

She waved the holy sword in her hand and slashed at Robb mercilessly: "Sword of Immovable Ignorance!" Robb put his hands together, "pop", without clamping, the holy sword passed from his hands. Xue Zhong passed through, and "poof" the sword struck Robb on the front of his face.

Robb screamed and fell backwards. Lars clapped her hands: "Oh! I won, and I also saved the nun." Xiaoyi was carried on Robb's shoulders just now, and suddenly fell down, and was also thrown into disgrace. He got up and patted Brushing the dust on his body, he said angrily: "You are all too old, and you still play this kind of game of house?" After saying this, Lars became frustrated again: "Oh! Indeed, playing house It's no fun at all, Godafather, get up, pretending to be defeated by me like this, it's not fun, I'm not a teenager."

Robb jumped up and down, Lars nodded: "Yeah, it's boring to play house without any sense of tension."

"Actually, it's not impossible to have a sense of tension." Robb chuckled mischievously: "Lars, let's upgrade the game now. I guarantee you a tense gameplay.

"Oh?" Lars said happily: "How to play?"

Robb said: "Now I am an evil Goblin, and I am going to attack you, the guardian of the Holy Light. If you can successfully defeat me, you can protect your own innocence. If you are defeated by me, hey Hehe... you understand what will happen?"

Lars heard a hint of evil from the words "you understand", the kind of smell that a crazy man exudes when he looks at a beautiful woman, which made her whole body tremble from head to toe. A layer of goosebumps.

"Wow, did you make a mistake?" Lars said in shock: "No, I don't want to play such a game.

She knew that she was no match for Robb, so how could she dare to play such a game? I'm afraid it won't be like that in any minute.

Robb said: "The objection is invalid. Whether this game continues or not does not depend on your will. I have decided to play and it has already begun.

After finishing the payment, he smiled evilly and pushed towards Lars step by step.

"Don't come over, don't come over!" Lars waved her holy sword in panic: "If you come over again, I will kill you without mercy. I just used the sword of ignorance to chop you. That's right. Please be merciful. Don't think I'm easy to bully. It hurts so much when my unparalleled rice wife suddenly hits someone. It hurts so much!" Robb ignored her weak threats and forced her way forward step by step. This pear is really big! Lars was so panicked that she waved her hand: "Unparalleled Rice Wife!" Robb clasped his palms together and clamped her holy sword firmly with a "pop" sound. Lars abandoned her sword, turned around and ran away: "Help, sister Xiaoyi, please take care of your man. He wants to molest me. Help." Xiaoyi shrugged her shoulders and suddenly turned up her volume and said angrily: "In What should I do if my child learns bad things while playing this unknown game on a boat? Just go back to your place and do whatever you need to do.

oh! "Robb swiped back to his chair, feeling good. Lars also swiped back to the place where she usually practices swords. She picked up the holy sword and continued to hone her sword skills. While practicing, she also He hummed and said: "Godafather, just wait. In a few days, I will definitely surpass you. At that time, we have to play this game in reverse. Hum, then I will chase you and run away." Robb smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm looking forward to the day when you come to molest me."
