Be a legal businessman in Liyue!

All these actions have helped the Rose of Mercy and Carles establish a fair and reliable image in the minds of the people. Many people who support the Rose of Mercy even actively provide funds to support its actions.

Oh, by the way, among the mechanical enemies that players face in the game, the [Specialized Construction Mechanism] was also the work of Cares, and he was the one who promoted its production.

Of course, these positive images gradually collapsed after the Cares case.

Only a few elders in the Rose Thorn Society are still willing to support Navia.

Therefore, Navia seemed a little embarrassed because she wanted to inherit her father's will and revive the Thorn Rose Society.

Behind her, Silver and Myles looked at her with a hint of worry.

This was Navia's first time communicating with foreigners, and it was different from her previous communication with the people of Fontaine.

They were a little worried that the Thorn Rose Society would not be able to provide much help.

However, this worry is obviously unnecessary.

Navia’s introduction was very good, at least Wang Que was satisfied.

"I understand." Wang Que nodded slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. "With the participation of the Thorn Rose Society, it will indeed solve the manpower problem. However, we still need to discuss the specific details of the cooperation."

Although she is ready to take over Arlecino's people, she can't be the only one in the factory.

Recruiting workers from the local area is inevitable.

Now that Thorn Rose is helping him, why would he be unhappy?

Although doing so might offend the Gray River gang.

But Wang Que doesn't even care about offending the Fatui, so is he afraid of the Gray River gang?

Besides, there is the thorny rose to support us.

Even though it is now somewhat in decline, the Thorn Rose Society still has enough say among the gangs in Fontaine.

"That's great! Please rest assured that the Thorn Rose Society will make sure to arrange for the workers."

Navia shouted happily.

Fortunately, there were not many people around, otherwise it would definitely attract everyone's attention.

Wang Que chuckled: "I believe you."

Seeing Navia's happy expression, Wang Que continued, "After I came to Fontaine, I asked about the patrol ship and got to know your father."

"To be honest, I don't think your father did that case."

Hearing this, Navia's eyes widened instantly, and a hint of surprise emerged.

This was the first time in such a long time that she heard good things about her father from an outsider.

In fact, after the Cares murder case, public opinion of Cares took a sharp turn for the worse.

The name of "Unjust Carres" swept across Fontaine.

Fontaine is a very special country, and their pursuit of "justice" is very firm.

When a reputable good person breaks the law, they will also despise him.

This pursuit of justice is a good thing, but... what if it is a wrongful conviction?

Navia suffered all this.

Fortunately, some people in the Thorn Rose Society were willing to believe in Cares and help her, so she was able to persevere.

Over the years, under Navia's management, the Rose Thorn Society has actually improved.

In the Steam Bird newspaper office, there is a huge bust of Navia, titled "Flying Yellow Rose".

It can be seen that Navia's efforts were not in vain, and her kindness was accepted by the people of Fontaine.

"Thank you, thank you. I also firmly believe that my father was wrongly accused. It's a pity..."

Navia said with some gratitude.

She firmly believed that her father was wrongly accused, but unfortunately, she could not find any evidence.

Wang Que said slowly: "Maybe I can offer some suggestions."

Navia's expression straightened, her eyes slightly red: "You say."

Wang Que: "After learning about the rail patrol ship project, I felt that Mr. Cares was a man of justice. Such a person would not kill casually unless there was a compelling situation or someone was trying to frame him."

"Whichever the case, it represents a fact."

Navia pressed: "What facts?"

"Profits." Wang Que held up a finger. "I'm a businessman. In my opinion, no matter what happens, there must be interests behind it."

"This interest doesn't just refer to money; it could also be power, emotion, or something else that people value."

"To be able to make a man with a sense of justice end his life in a duel, then he must be doing so to protect his most precious treasure."

Wang Que's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Navia: "Find out what your father was doing back then? Find out what your father's most treasured treasure is, and maybe you'll get the answer."

Listening to Wang Que's words,

Navia's pupils shrank slightly, as if she had thought of something, and she remained silent for a long time.

After a while,

Wang Que smiled again and said, "Okay, afternoon tea is here, don't waste the delicious food."

Afternoon tea is actually very simple.

Just a cup of hot chocolate and then macarons.

The quantity is not large, but the taste is very good.

Navia also came back to her senses and nodded gratefully to Wang Que: "Thank you, Your Excellency the Envoy."

"Just call me Wang Que. We're all young people, there's no need to be so polite."

Wang Que waved his hand, then took a sip of the hot chocolate. Hmm, slightly bitter, but rich, smooth and mellow.

Navia smiled again: "Okay, Wang Que."

Putting aside the topic of workers and Kares,

The two began to talk about the differences between Fontainebleau and Liyue, including cultural customs and human landscapes.

On one side is the poetic reproduction of classical aesthetics, and on the other side is the collision of romance and industrial revolution.

One side is known for its landscapes and humanities, while the other side is eye-catching for its science, technology and art.

They chatted until the evening, and then Navia said goodbye.

She wanted to bring the good news back to Gray River that the old factory needed workers.

In fact, she and Wang Que seemed to have forgotten that those old factories had not yet fallen into Wang Que's hands.

……

Two more days passed,

Wang Que was studying the information given to him by Raymondo in the mansion, and then he received an invitation from Momang Palace.

With a good premonition in his heart, Wang Que quickly packed up his things and headed to Momang Palace.

After arriving at Momang Palace, he was quickly taken to a conference room on the second floor.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the conference room.

Wang Que glanced around and actually saw Navia.

Navia also saw him and nodded slightly to him, but did not speak.

Sitting in the main seat was Villette, her eyes calm and majestic under her long silver hair.

Some businessmen and officials from the Court of Justice stood on both sides of the long table, including Navia.

Under the guidance of the instructor, Wang Que also sat aside.

Then a document was delivered to him.

Wang Que took a look and knew that they were the property rights documents of more than 50 old factories held by Northland Bank.

Time passed little by little, and soon the conference room was full of people.

As the door of the conference room was closed.

Villette coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, everyone is here now. I'm sure everyone knows why we asked you to come here this time."

After a slight pause, seeing that no one questioned him, Villette looked aside and said, "Principal Attorney, please give your report first."

An official to Villette's left stood up and said, "According to our investigation, Northland Bank acquired fifty-three factories through white-glove schemes at prices 30% below market value. Twelve of these factories are involved in forced relocation disputes. We recommend that the ownership rights be nationalized in accordance with the Fontaine Asset Recovery Act and then disposed of through public bidding."

Sitting on Villette's right were some business representatives from Fontaine.

After hearing what the officials from the Privy Court said, there was not much reaction.

In fact, after the Steambird Newspaper exposed the Northland Bank white glove incident,

They had already anticipated that these old factories would definitely be reclaimed.

So, before the meeting even started, everyone was mentally prepared.

Some people even set their sights on Wang Que.

They all knew that these things were caused by Wang Que.

Wang Que was being stared at, but he remained calm.

Until Villette also looked at him: "Mr. Wang Que, you have repeatedly expressed your willingness to strongly support the revitalization of the old factory in the newspapers. Do you have any opinions now?"

Wang Que sat up straight, but didn't stand up immediately. "From what the Privy Court said, it seems that they are going to auction off these factories. I want to know how long it will take to complete this process."

The official from the Privy Court thought for a moment and replied, "It will take at least half a month."

Wang Que immediately shook his head: "I don't have that much time to stay in Fontaine, and directly auctioning it will extend the time it takes to relocate the workers.

I proposed a two-step approach: first, I would advance funds to the original owner to make up the difference and resolve the historical dispute;

Then, under the name of 'Technological Revitalization', a joint venture was established with Fontaine. Shuluting would hold a 30% stake and oversee operations, with profits being used first to repay the advance.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar on the side.

Fifty-three factories, even if they advance the price difference, it is not a small amount of money.

Even a few businessmen showed joking expressions.

Navia clenched her fists slightly, wanting to speak up for Wang Que, but she didn't know what to say.

Chapter 214 Factory Researchers and Workers

That Villette's eyes moved slightly and looked at the people from the Privy Court.

Immediately, an official from the Privy Court stood up and questioned:

"These factories are outdated. How can you guarantee profitability? It's estimated that historical disputes plus the investment in the production line will cost at least two billion Mora."

Two billion Mora, Wang Que definitely doesn't have it.

After upgrading the Immortal Mechanism last time, there were only 101 million Moras left on Wang Que's panel.

However, this did not pose a problem for Wang Que.

He also had no intention of paying the bill directly with his own money.

"Mora isn't a problem. Although I didn't bring that much money with me, I'm sure everyone knows about my business in Liyue. A few hundred million Mora is nothing to me. I believe the bank in Fontaine will be willing to lend me money."

Wang Que had just finished speaking when a nearby businessman spoke up, "The Elemental Grenade is a very good project. I heard they're going to expand production soon. If that's true, our Darduff Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide the loan."

Tartuffe, one of the emerging commercial aristocrats of Fontaine.

Of course, they are nobles, but they are different from traditional nobles like Duke Petrich.

But there is no doubt that he is very rich.

Wang Que smiled and nodded at Darduff's men: "Yes, the production of elemental grenades will be expanded soon. You are really well-informed."

After praising him and solving the funding problem, Wang Que looked at the others:

"Once we have sufficient funds, the next issue we need to address is how to ensure profitability."

"First, we have the best workers, which is our advantage. Second, after we have the funds to purchase the latest production line, I believe our product quality will be first-class."
