Mr. Pantalone has no crazy plans today.

For capitalists and politicians, if sincerity can get them what they want and achieve their goals, they will never mind squeezing out a little more worthless sincerity.

Although she was practically halfway to Pantalone's side after saying that, there were still some things that needed to be clarified.

Looking at Pantalone, Sandone took a deep breath and asked about the conditions Pantalone needed.

"So how many 'cybernetics' of this level do you need? Even I would need a certain amount of time to make them. In the short term, I can only complete one batch. It is impossible to make them all at once."

"To be honest, we don't need too many, but for the first batch, let's start with... 100,000 units."

After a moment's thought, Pantalone slowly uttered a number.

The moment the number was uttered, Sandoni almost dropped the cup of black tea he was holding, and then, with a dark expression, he looked at Pantalone and replied.

"One hundred thousand... Do you think this level of 'cybernetics' is some kind of magic flower? That you can just make it anytime, anywhere!"

Seeing Sandone's performance, Pantalone realized that asking for 100,000 bodies was indeed a bit too much, so he thought for a moment and then asked.

"So, what's the maximum number that can be made?"

"A maximum of 80,000 bodies; any more than that is impossible."

After calming himself down a bit, Sandoni looked at Pantalone and gave a cold reply.

After receiving a clear answer from Sandoni, Pantalone felt it wasn't unacceptable and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's start with 80,000 units. Of course, I will make up the difference in the project cost later, so you don't need to worry about that. At least the logistics part is not a big problem for me."

Although it is a labor-intensive task for the labor force of Sandogne, Pantalone will not be stingy in terms of resource supply.

After all, he was asking someone for a favor, so there was no reason for them to withhold funds in a place like this.

On the other hand, it was also due to the research and initial results achieved by the "doctor" that the finished products were able to be researched and put into application.

This has significantly reduced the expenses on the "Doctor's" side, greatly easing Pantaroni's financial pressure and making Pantaroni's wallet bulge again.

This is also the reason why Pantalone was confident enough to tell Sandone that there would be enough funding and logistics.

Sandoni, whose face had been somewhat pale, relaxed his furrowed brows a little after hearing Pantalone say that the funding chain was sufficient.

While it may be hard to say about other aspects of Pantalone, its financial strength is undeniable and beyond any doubt.

After all, this was a task that Pantalone herself entrusted to her, so it must have been extremely important to Pantalone.

Since Pantalone has spoken up, there is absolutely no way he will face a shortage of funds.

Seeing Sandone's relaxed brow, Pantalone extended his hand and smiled at the opportune moment.

"Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation, shall we?"

Sandone looked up at Pantalo. Now that she and Pantalo were on the same boat, she had no reason to refuse.

Sandone, who had accepted Pantalone's invitation, shook hands with him and gave him that smile.

"Then, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Chapter 173 The New Executive and Traveler Who Became "Young Master" (4k)

As Pantalone and "Doctor's" research results began to take shape, their proposed plan to produce "mechanical prosthetics" using "living metal" was approved, and the plan following the agreement with Sandone has also been put into the agenda.

Thanks to the latest research results from the "Doctor," the utilization of "imaginary energy" has been elevated to a new level, making the Fatui people's use of "imaginary energy" even more efficient.

In addition, following the agreement with "Puppet", the latest industrialized production line has also begun to be established.

Pantalone, as the economic regulator of the Winter Kingdom and the owner of the Northern Bank, was acutely aware of the fact that while money was being consumed at an unimaginable rate, it also represented rapid economic development.

While the expenditures on engineering projects certainly consumed a large portion of Pantalone's funds, they also created a significant number of jobs.

While Mora was being consumed at an unimaginable rate, these jobs were also creating wealth itself, making Pantalone's wealth, while seemingly being depleted, actually expand wildly in another way.

Pantalone's wealth may not have increased on the surface, but in reality, his intangible wealth has multiplied several times over; this is the essence of economics.

As someone who understands the concept of wealth better than anyone else, Pantalone, as a banker, is well aware of the essence of being a banker.

If we put it bluntly, this essence is that of a speculator who uses false, intangible wealth to acquire value, and Pantalone is an unparalleled master and synthesizer of this kind of speculation.

Even if these things don't have any real benefits or profits, this kind of economic development has indeed driven the construction of Zhidong itself, raising Zhidong's development speed to a new level.

It was like a crazy machine with the accelerator floored and speeding wildly on the highway.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhidong's rapid development is precisely due to this reckless acceleration, regardless of the consequences.

If such a practice were applied to any country, once the period of rapid development has passed, that country would undoubtedly have to face the consequences of such rapid development.

The cost of this is that after rapid development, the manufacturing industry enters a phase where there is no supply or demand to manufacture, resulting in negative consequences and costs from the overcapacity and supply-demand spillover.

But for Zhidong, such a price is undoubtedly not something they need to consider, because they don't care about such an outcome.

This is what allows them to develop and grow wildly at any cost. In a sense, the system that Zhidong has now is undoubtedly abnormal.

But all of this pales in comparison to the great cause pursued by the Fools and the noble ideals of the Winter Queen.

Everything is expendable; the darkness before dawn is the necessary price.

However, such a future is still a long way off before supply and demand completely overflow.

All that happened before that was not something the people of Zhidong, who are now enjoying the benefits of rapid industrial development, need to consider. Compared to things that cannot be seen, these tangible things that are real and tangible are what they care about.
