Chapter 742: Barbecue Stand Diplomacy x2
Charlie Iris was suspended in the sky for a long time without moving.

He looked at the back of Augustus Xingmang going away and fell into deep thought.

Of course, what he was thinking about was not Augustus himself, but the dune shaper beside him.

Charlie Iris murmured: "It's really a strange thing. If you read it correctly, this little mage should only have a silver rank, right? Why does that old guy Augustus take care of him like this? Could it be this old guy His illegitimate child?"

There is no way to reach a conclusion by thinking about this kind of thing, so Charlie Iris simply stopped thinking about it and continued flying towards the palace where Sean was.
.
At the same time, Sean was ordering his servants to clean up the "battlefield".

I had a great barbecue just now, but the scene must also be cleaned.

After all, Charlie Iris is the king of the Kingdom of Anjou, so it's a bit outrageous to use a barbecue stall to receive him.

Anyway, it should be more grand.
.
The servants had just cleaned up the scene, and before they had time to arrange the luxurious tables and chairs, Charlie Iris had already arrived above the palace where Sean was.

Half an hour earlier than the agreed time.

But Sean can't help it. The guest arrived early, so he can't disappear, right?

So he hurried out with Thor and Khadgar.

"Your Majesty the King, you are very welcome! We have been waiting here for a long time."

From a distance, Sean saluted Charlie Iris.

Don't say that Sean is not Grand Duke Ryan now, even if he has been sworn in as a duke, the proper etiquette is still essential.

"Don't be too polite, Sean Violet." Charlie Iris gave Sean a complicated look, and said straight to the point: "I'm here to discuss cooperation with you."

oh?Another one to talk about cooperation?

Sean led Charlie Iris into the palace hall and asked at the same time:
"I don't know which aspect of cooperation you want to talk about? But for Matthew's sake, I believe there will be a happy cooperation between us."

Charlie Iris did not answer directly.

He smelled the smell around him, and frowned slightly: "Have you had barbecue here just now?"

There is a heartwarming aroma in the air around you - it's the smell of grilled fish!

"Loving grilled fish" is engraved in the DNA of the Camellia family, and of course Charlie Iris loves it too.

After all, there are countless intermarriages between the royal family and the Camellia family, so it is not surprising that the king has the blood of the Camellia family.

"Uh" Sean was a little embarrassed. He thought it was the smell of barbecue that aroused Charlie Iris' disgust, so he hurriedly explained: "That's it."

"There's no need to explain." Charlie Iris directly interrupted Sean: "Since you guys had the barbecue just now, the whole set of barbecue should still be there, right?"

"of course."

"Then bring it here, we can chat while grilling!" Charlie Iris showed amiable.

"Okay." Sean wiped his sweat, and ordered the servants to bring up the grill and seasoning table that had just been lifted down.
.
So in the next period of time, the serious meeting of the saints turned into a barbecue stall atmosphere.

The four of them were grilling while chatting about some irrelevant topics.

The one who talked the most was of course Matthew.

After all, he is the link between the two great powers.

After 10 minutes, the conversation gradually entered the topic.

"Sean, I came to you mainly for four reasons." Charlie Iris said while concentrating on grilling the fish.

"Here we come!" Sean's heart trembled, and his attention became concentrated: "I don't know which four aspects you are talking about?"

"First." Charlie Iris stretched out a finger: "It's about the Principality of Ryan. Have you thought about when you will inherit the Principality and become the official Grand Duke of Ryan?"

"This... I haven't considered it yet, probably not in the last few months, let's talk about it later." Sean replied.

He remembered the ancient motto of "build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king" in his previous life. Now that the principality is in chaos, it is not the best time for succession.

"Oh, I see." Charlie Iris did not continue to ask, but started the next topic: "Second, it is about the business cooperation between our two companies."

"Business cooperation? Are you referring to the new route Matthew opened recently?" Sean remembered.

The two major powers are not connected by land, and the only direct business relationship is the recently opened new route.

But Matthew and Lor'themar Theron were mainly responsible for the opening of the new route, and Sean didn't take much care of it.

However, according to the report submitted by Lor'themar, this new course seems to have achieved a good response.
.
"Of course it's a new route." Charlie Iris smiled and said:

"You have been busy fighting wars recently, so you may not have paid attention to the latest progress of the new route. You may not know that the soap, paper, and cement in your territory are very popular, especially soap. 10,000+ pieces of soap were sold out in two or three days! "

In fact, Charlie Iris didn't say anything, that is, the sales of the same batch of spirits and perfume are also very hot.

It's just that these two items belong to noble consumption, and not many people buy them, so they are not as shocking as soap.

Sean was very happy to hear the news about the sales of products in the territory: "Then what do you mean, let us ship more products next time?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Charlie Iris denied:

"What I mean by business cooperation is, can you sell the recipes of soap, paper, and cement to our family, and the price can be negotiated.

Although these products are high-quality and cheap, the cost of sea transportation is still too high. If we can buy the formula and produce them locally, the people in our country can use cheaper and more affordable products.

This is a good thing for the benefit of all people! "

"This." Sean hesitated.

Soap, paper, and cement were invented in a very short period of time, and the intelligence agencies under Lao Zhu's administration have taken very good confidentiality measures. The formulas of the three have not yet been leaked.

But the recipes of these things are very simple, and it will only be a matter of time before they are leaked. As long as the people in Anru are willing, imitations will appear on the market in a short time.

Instead of waiting for knockoffs to crash in price, Sean might as well sell the recipe now.
.
But Sean didn't want to sell the formula so simply, the income would be too little, and he wanted more.

So Sean proposed his own business cooperation idea: "His Majesty Charlie Iris, I would like to propose a more innovative cooperation model."

"What new model?"

"This model is very simple." Xiao En said with a smile: "That is, we will build a factory in Pearl City, and we will cover all the construction materials, skilled workers, management personnel, and sales personnel needed for the construction of the factory!

This will also allow local people to use high-quality and low-cost goods without the trouble of shipping. "
