People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

He would not ignore Sucrose's opinion, so after thinking about it, he asked Albedo: "Will the extra area after the ruins are demolished be enough to build various facilities in the outer city?"

"Those ruins occupy a large area, so there is no problem using them to build large facilities." Albedo answered in the affirmative.

Shen Qin smiled and looked at Shatang: "It is indeed important to protect the environment. We all support your idea. My idea is to carry out large-scale development and construction only in the inner city, and then build factories and other peripheral facilities in the vacant land left after the relics in the outer city are moved away."

In fact, the area of ​​the inner city is large enough, equivalent to half of Mondstadt. If it is combined with buildings with extremely high land utilization rates, it can accommodate all Mondstadt people to live here!

"In fact, there are ways to utilize the land in the outer city without damaging the environment." Albedo smiled, "Do you know the Huacheng Castle in Xumi? The residents there completely integrate their lives into nature, that is, they utilize the land, and the damage to the environment is minimal."

Shen Qin and Shatang's eyes lit up. It seemed that it would not be impossible to build a town by imitating the environment.

The planning for the Wind Dragon Ruins was gradually improved during the communication among the three people. When all the commissions from the Adventurer's Association were completed, they obtained further information and data, and the plan finally took shape a week later.

Looking at the pile of plans in front of them, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief in unison, then collapsed into their chairs.

This week's brainstorming has almost exhausted all their brain cells, and every detail has to be taken into consideration.

If urban construction is compared to a big tree, their planning is only up to the branch level. If they want to be detailed down to every leaf and every line in the leaves, more people's wisdom is needed.

Of course, using the current plan to deceive... and attract investment is completely sufficient.

But Shen Qin was still not satisfied.

"You two, I want to present this plan to our investors in a more shocking way!"

Chapter 118: Tartaglia: I'm so smart

Tartaglia has been living a very comfortable life recently, because he successfully obtained the Heart of the God of Wind before Rosaline, and the business cooperation with the Dawn Winery brought huge profits to the Fatui. He was rewarded by the "clown" Piero, and not only received a large personal bonus, but his status among many executives also improved slightly.

Although the tenth seat "Puppet" Sandoni still looked down on him.

But there is no need to worry about the girl with a bad temper. No matter who she faces, she always looks like she deserves a beating, as if to say "you owe me money".

Moreover, he did not care about what his colleagues thought of him. He was more delighted that the Ice Queen met him again and he received the three words "very good" from her.

The mechanical pet "One-eyed Little Treasure" that he sent back to Zhidong also successfully arrived in the hands of his younger brother Tok. Tok also wrote him a letter saying that he liked it very much.

"Before the Immortal Invitation Ceremony begins, we can enjoy some relaxing time."

He finished the last task of the day and planned to leave work early to grab a seat for dinner at Xinyuexuan, but Ekaterina suddenly broke into his office with a letter in her hand.

"Mr. Executive, it's time to work."

"Ok?"

"A letter came from Mond, inviting you to attend a meeting."

Tartaglia took the letter in confusion and opened it in front of her. The letter did indeed officially invite him to Mond to attend a "Joint Business Investment Conference". The signer was Shen Qin, but it also had the seal of the Knights Templar.

What is the Commercial Joint Investment Conference? It sounds like it is related to business. Does Shen Qin want to cooperate with the Fatui again? But he hasn't developed any new products recently...

However, since Shen Qin had formally sent the letter, he had to be given the honor, and Toke's one-eyed Xiaobao also accepted his favor.

"Please help me report this matter to the headquarters. I will be on a business trip to Mond for the next five days."

The conference will be held the day after tomorrow. If he sets out tomorrow morning, he will be able to arrive in Mondstadt the night after tomorrow. After attending the conference, he will stay in Mondstadt for one night and then rush back to Liyue.

Alas - four of the five days were spent on traveling, leaving only one day for work, and that was when I was using a flying skateboard.

Hey - is it possible to work with Shen Qin to develop a product that can greatly shorten the time of long-distance journeys?

Tartaglia's eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea. If the cooperative research and development was successful, the Fatui could also make a lot of money from it!

Then let’s wait until we get to Mondstadt and talk to Shen Qin!

But he didn't know that Diluk had already discussed this with Shen Qin, and Shen Qin had already completed the design of the transport vehicle and was still very proud of his inspiration.

The next day, he simply packed up and set off from Liyue Harbor. However, not long after he set off, he saw Keqing flash past him at three times the speed, her target also being Mondstadt.

He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Others were given the most advanced flying skateboard by the Knights of Favonius, while he only had the most low-end one. There was no comparison.

But was she also invited to the Commercial Joint Investment Conference? Or did Shen Qin also invite other forces?

Tartaglia fell into deep thought.

Keqing also saw Tartaglia, but she didn't like this Fatui executive, so she ignored him. However, she was also a little confused - was he going to Mondstadt as well? Did Shen Qin invite the Fatui this time?

However, she didn't hesitate for long, because after arriving in Mondstadt, she asked the Knights in person and everything became clear.

Keqing arrived in Mondstadt in the evening and entered the city directly without an ID card. The Sentinel system had already listed her as a trustworthy ally, and would pass the news back to the Knights Templar when she entered the city.

So when she arrived at the Knights, Kaia was already waiting at the door to greet her.

"Oh! Miss Keqing, it's been a long time!" He smiled and opened his arms, wanting to give her a hug.

Keqing also understood his glib and dishonest tone, so she turned away from his embrace and said, "Kaeya, we just met half a month ago, how can it be a long time?"

Kaiya didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Don't you have an old saying in Liyue, 'One day without seeing you feels like three years'!"

"Disgusting." Keqing got goosebumps all over her body.

"Alas! Lord Yuhengxing's attitude really makes me sad."

Just now she was Miss Keqing, but now she has become Lord Yuhengxing. No one would believe her if she said that he didn't have some sarcasm in his words. However, Keqing had long been accustomed to his way of speaking, so she got straight to business: "What's going on with the Joint Commercial Investment Conference?"

"I don't know either. Anyway, Shen Qin just borrowed a large conference room from the Knights, and asked us to help deliver many invitations. When I asked him, he was very secretive and refused to reveal any information. He just said that we would know the day after tomorrow."

Kaia Bear spread his hands, he was also quite confused.

Albedo and Sucrose, who was always very easy to talk to, remained silent this time and said they would wait for the joint business investment conference to be held.

"Okay." Keqing nodded and asked, "Is Captain Qin free now? I want to talk to her about something."

"She said you can always come see her in the office after you get here."

"Okay, thanks." Keqing left him and walked into the Knights.

"The guesthouse has been arranged. You can go there by yourself when the time comes?" He said towards her back, but got a very perfunctory wave of the hand - got it.

"So boring, she's a workaholic like Jean, no wonder they get along so well." Kaia complained and trotted towards Angel's Gift - there would be no seats if they were late.

Some time ago, adventurers fished up a large amount of Mora in the Wind Dragon Ruins, and all the taverns in Mondstadt have been full until now. Especially after dinner, those adventurers who had a lot of Mora but nowhere to spend it gathered in the tavern and ordered a few glasses of good wine that they usually didn't want to drink.

Angel's Gift and Cat's Tail Tavern are likely to be the biggest winners.

Keqing walked into Qin's office. Qin stood up happily when she saw her, gave her a brief hug, and held her hand tightly. "Keqing, why are you here so early? The Joint Business Investment Conference will not start until the day after tomorrow. It won't be too late to come tomorrow."

"I wanted to come earlier to ask you for advice on how to govern a country." Keqing sat down on the chair and motioned for her to sit down too.

"I didn't have a deep chat with you last time because of the dragon disaster, but after returning to Liyue, I always think of Mondstadt when I'm working. The Wind God disappeared for a thousand years, but the Knights still managed Mondstadt in an orderly manner, which proves that a country can survive without relying on gods. If there is any trick in this, please teach it to me!"

She looked at Qin earnestly.

The annual ceremony of summoning the immortals is about to arrive. The Geo Emperor will come again to give Liyue the oracle for the new year and guide Liyue's business direction.

But Keqing has always stood on the opposite side of the Emperor, hoping that Liyue can achieve true human rule. However, Liyue has too many fans of the Emperor, who never think there is anything wrong with relying on Him, and naturally stand on the opposite side of her.

Therefore, the period before and after the ceremony of inviting the immortals is when the conflicts between the two factions are most intense.

Chapter 119 It’s definitely not for that cup of Diona special!

Keqing will not give up her ideals just because of this trouble. However, after coming to Mondstadt, a country that has been "forgotten" by the gods for a thousand years, she hopes to learn something new from it to optimize her way of governing Liyue.

"So that's how it is. I can tell you some of my insights, but I'm far from being a professor. Just treat it as an exchange!"

“Yeah!” Keqing sat upright.

Because the Knights Templar had resumed their normal work intensity and Jean was not as busy as before, Keqing went to her again the next afternoon to seek advice.

After they finished chatting, they realized it was already seven in the evening. Keqing felt a little embarrassed: "It's all my fault for pestering you. I even forgot the dinner time."

"It's okay. I had a great time chatting with you. Some of your ideas are very interesting. I may also conduct some experiments in Mond later."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

“Let’s go. To thank you, I’ll treat you to dinner at The Deer Hunter tonight!” Keqing took Jean’s arm.

Jean nodded, but pulled her arm out of her grasp as she walked out of the office.

Keqing blinked at her and whispered in her ear, "I understand. We need to maintain our dignity as acting leader! I did the same when I was in Liyue."

The two of them came to the Deer Hunter chatting and laughing. While they were having dinner, Tartaglia, who had finally arrived in Mondstadt, walked into the restaurant and ordered dinner.

He wolfed down his dinner and then leaned back in his chair comfortably.

To be honest, I’m a little tired after flying the flying skateboard for two days in a row.

But he couldn't go to the guesthouse to rest right away, because there was something more important to do -

Ten minutes later, he arrived at the Cat's Tail Tavern. There were more customers in the tavern today than the last time Shen Qin invited him to drink. He looked at the customers queuing in front of the bar waiting for Diona to make cocktails, sighed, and silently walked to the end of the line.

Fortunately, Diona can mix cocktails with both hands at the same time, so the queue moves quite quickly, and soon it is Tartaglia's turn. He ordered the same Ice Mist Explosion as the previous customer.

"Your Ice Mist Explosion Wine." Diona handed him the wine expressionlessly, but she stood in front of him and stared at him without leaving.

"Ms. Diona, is there anything I can help you with?" Tartaglia's expression was a little stiff, and she felt uncomfortable being stared at by her.

Diona said, "Huh...you are Shen Qin's friend, right?"

"Hmm? I guess so."

"Then why hasn't he come to the Cat's Tail Tavern for almost half a month... Don't get me wrong, I just want him to be a tester for my new wine!" Mao Mao said proudly.

Yumi walked gracefully on the bar with a cat-like step: "Diona, you already used this excuse last time."

"I don't want you to care!"

Diona went to make cocktails for other guests with a slightly blushing face, without waiting for Tartaglia's response.

Tartaglia first took a small sip of the wine, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

He put Mora on the bar, and before leaving, he smiled and said to Diona, "I'll talk to Shen Qin."

After leaving the tavern, he came to the guesthouse. The Knights had made arrangements after sending out the invitation letter. As long as he came, he could stay there. The hospitality was quite good, although no one came to greet him after entering the city.

It is understandable that Mond's attitude towards the Fatui has always been bad.

After closing the door, Tartaglia took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, which recorded some of Shen Qin's actions in Mondstadt. It was exactly what he had just obtained from the intelligence officer at the Cat's Tail Tavern.

He went there to do serious business, not just for that glass of wine!

Wind Dragon Ruins... Large-scale Exploration Commission...

He released elemental power to shatter the information, and leaned against the door to think about the connection between this and tomorrow's joint business investment conference.

The Fatui sent the information from Mondstadt directly back to the Winterfell headquarters, so he only learned about the situation now.

"Ah - my head hurts. Let's wait until tomorrow. Anyway, we'll know what he wants to do tomorrow." Tartaglia thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, so he started to give up.

He is a warrior, not a conspirator like other executive officers. Asking him to think about these twists and turns is more difficult than asking him to deal with five relic guards within ten seconds.

The next morning, after breakfast, he came to the Knights Templar and was taken to a meeting room by the knights. As soon as he entered, he found that there were already many people sitting inside, many of whom he knew.

A Xu, the servant of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce.

A Kuan, the manager of the Black Rock Factory.

Agui, the pharmacist of Bubulu.

Serius, branch president of the Mondstadt Adventurers' Association.

Goethe, the owner of the Goethe Hotel.

Margaret, the proprietress of the Cat's Tail Tavern.

Miss Sarah at the Deer Hunter.

……

All the important figures from Liyue and Mondstadt gathered in this conference room.

A Xu was a little surprised when he saw Tartaglia. Their Feiyun Chamber of Commerce also had business dealings with the Northland Bank, so they naturally knew this Fatui executive who had been guarding the bank for many years.

If the Fatui participate in the next business cooperation, I'm afraid Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will have to think carefully. Although the three products launched by Shen Qin have a very large market, it is better to be safer compared to the trouble brought by the Fatui.

After Tartaglia found a random corner and sat down, Goethe came up to him and said, "Young man, are you from the Winter Solstice?"

"Yes, old man, you can call me Tartaglia." He was quite polite to the elderly.

"The people of Zhidong - some people of Zhidong also booked my hotel a few days ago. After the dragon disaster, they suddenly left and breached the contract and compensated me a large sum of money. Although I didn't lose money, but when doing business, you still have to be honest. Only in this way can you make a lot of money and others will be willing to do business with you."

Goethe patted Tartaglia on the shoulder. The breach of contract by that group of people made him have a not very good impression of the Solstice people.
