Chapter 121 [Moore Bank] "Moore, you must save your father!" Justine looked at Moore with tears in her eyes. "Is there anything you can do about this matter?" Marquess Taxis looked at Moore and asked, "If we were in Venice, I could do something about it, but I can't do anything about Emperor Suliman the Great who is far away in Istanbul. It's impossible, and the current Ottoman Empire is not friendly with other countries in Europe. " "I will definitely rescue Professor Hutton, let me think of a way!" Li Si looked at Justine, his voice full of certainty. "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you!" Marquise Taxis handed over the task to Li Si. Ding! System prompt: Successfully accepted the mission [Rescuing the captured Professor Hutton], please rush to Istanbul as soon as possible to find Professor Hutton¡¯s friends. "It's just a useless thing that is lost. It can only be regarded as a historical relic at most. How could Emperor Suliman not even recognize the immunity?" Li Si felt very strange about Emperor Suliman's behavior. "Immunity is something recognized by countries all over the world in "Great Voyage". NPCs with immunity will enjoy certain privileges when in foreign countries. As long as it is not a particularly serious crime, they can be exempted. "I guess he was taken advantage of by Emperor Suliman the Great. My brother may have been involved in political disputes, so he made such a fuss." Marquise Taxis gave Li Si a reminder from a political perspective. "I understand. You only got the news half a month ago. I think Professor Hutton has been arrested for more than half a month. I don't think he can delay it for long. I must get to Istanbul as soon as possible!" Li Si looked According to the task prompt, the system prompted as soon as possible, which means that it must be done as soon as possible. If it is too late, Professor Hutton may never be seen again. "Don't worry, if it's a political matter. This news should have been released intentionally by Emperor Suliman. Maybe Suliman himself sent someone to steal it," Marquess Taxis analyzed to Li Si, "My brother He is a Christian bishop. I think it is more for religious reasons. Islam is putting pressure on Christianity. "Li Si rubbed his temples, "This is really complicated! Is there any reaction from the current Pope?" Not yet, the news has already reached Venice, and the Pope should have known about it a long time ago," Marquise Taxis said. "I have to get to Istanbul as soon as possible, and then I'll think of a solution based on the situation. Madam, try to think of a solution in Venice!" Li Si took a deep breath and decided to go to Istanbul first. ¡°That¡¯s no problem!¡± Marquise Taxis responded immediately. "We'll set off tomorrow morning!" Li Si said as he looked at the darkening sky. "By the way, there is one more thing I can't do in person, so I'll ask Madam to take care of it." Li Si saw Vespucci, who had been standing silently behind him, and patted his forehead. "What's going on?" Marquise Taxis looked at Vespucci, an old man who looked very familiar. "I want to invest in a bank, Mr. Vespucci's bank." Li Si pointed at the old man Blasley. "After joining the bank, I hope my wife can take care of the bank, and I will give you 10% of the shares as funds for activities!" "Oh?" Marquise Taxis covered her face with her little fan. Looking sideways at Li Si, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, "How much capital do you have to invest in shares?" "It's not a lot, just a few ships of gold." Li Si said with a smile. ¡°What?!¡± Marquise Taxis was stunned. The old man Vespucci behind him was also stunned. The two of them looked at Li Si in astonishment. Justine was also amused by their expressions, covering her mouth and snickering. "I haven't counted how many there are. They are all shipped back from the New World!" Li Si shrugged. "That's it, but I want 20%!" Marquise Taxis directly mentioned ten more points, and then explained: "It will cost a lot of money to go up and down. Those people have a big appetite. It's not that easy to fill up!" "No problem!" Li Si agreed directly. In his idea, he would tie up the Marquis Mansion in the bank with about 20%. Interest is always the best way to maintain relationships. "Then please call your bank manager over!" Li Si turned to old man Vespucci and said: "By the way, we will sign the agreement and I will convert your original assets into it!" "No problem! I'm here Just come to him." Vespucci turned and walked out. "Madam, I will leave the bank's affairs to your care. I will sail to Istanbul early tomorrow morning!" Li Si said to the Marquise of Taxis. "Well, don't worry, the bank has my share after all!" Marquise Taxis behind the small fan smiled.Eyes. Several people were waiting for Vespucci's return in the living room while discussing the matter of rescuing Mr. Hutton, but in the end they did not come up with any effective method. Instead, the Marchioness of Taxis handed Lis a letter. To Professor Hutton's Istanbul friends. When Vespucci returned, Lis converted Vespucci's small bank assets into shares of the new bank. Lis estimated the amount of gold and converted 20% of the shares for Vespucci. Lis took the remaining Sixty percent, and after consulting Vespucci, the name of the bank was changed to Moore's Bank. "The bank's business is still in charge of Mr. Depp. The original bank staff remains unchanged, but the business must be expanded as soon as possible." As a major shareholder, Li Si still proposed that the former bank manager Depp be in charge of the bank's business. "I will let someone know in a moment." Transfer the gold to the bank vault. "Thank you for your trust, Mr. Moore! I will definitely manage the bank!" Depp bowed to Li Si. The original bank was unable to recover due to several loans, plus several big banks. The bank run has made life very difficult. Now with Li Si's huge capital injection, Depp believes that he will be able to make the bank bigger. "Do a good job! I will allocate five points to the position of bank manager!" Li Si gave Depp another piece of cake. The position of bank manager will occupy 5% of the shares. As long as the bank gets bigger and bigger, Depp will get 5% of the shares. The bonus points will be more and more. "Don't worry, Mr. Moore, I will do a good job!" Depp became even more motivated. "Okay!" Li Si said loudly, and then ordered Warren to transport the gold in the warehouse to the bank vault. The matter at the bank came to an end. Early the next morning, Lis said goodbye to the Marquess of Taxis and Vespucci, and took Warren and Justine to sail to Istanbul on the Aris. . Cazza and Caffey will follow Vespucci back to America. The Mediterranean Sea is indeed the most suitable sea area for paddle boats. With the blessing of several states, Lisi's Aris sailed towards Istanbul at high speed. The road was much more lively than before Lisi left. There were everywhere. Players' ships ply trade on the Mediterranean Sea. "Soon, the great voyage will be as prosperous as in the previous life!" Li Si stood on the bow of the ship and sighed as he looked at the ships that kept coming and going. Finally, Li Si, who was free, opened the property panel of the Aris and began to check the upgrade conditions of the Aris. He had been very busy in Venice. There was no time to deal with the upgrade issue of the Aris. Faith: 25700/100000 Level 3 wood: 0/2000000 units Level 3 iron ingots: 0/150000 units Agarwood: 0/2000 units Gold: 0/150000 units Silver: 0/150000 units Bronze: 0/150000 units Gemstones: 50/120000 units Artillery: 0/80 Except for faith, other things are far behind. Gold is relatively easy to say because there are several gold mines in America, but the rest will all cost money. Li Si converted the materials into European market prices. The gems alone would cost nearly 100 million silver coins. Adding in other required materials, it turns out that nearly one billion silver coins are needed. If calculated based on the exchange rate after the currency was opened, it would require nearly one billion RMB. Li Si never had one billion RMB despite struggling for so long in his previous life. Just upgrading a large ship would cost one billion RMB, which is much more expensive than buying several new ships. A modified heavy-duty military Karak sailboat only costs more than 30 million yuan, and even Zheng He's flagship treasure ship only costs this much. This is just to upgrade a large ship, which requires so much money. Zheng He's treasure ship is a huge warship. Li Si felt dizzy when he thought about the future upgrade of Aris to a giant battleship. Wouldn't it cost tens of billions, or even tens of billions? Even if you pull beans, you will blow up Europe. "What is the origin of the Aris?" Li Si looked at the Aris again without realizing it. This ship is really mysterious. It comes from the mysterious Island of Chaos. The vision during the upgrade is also mysterious. It becomes even more mysterious after the upgrade. What is that pillar of light rising into the sky? Li Si only hoped, "Don't let me down after spending huge sums of money to upgrade the warships. Next, I have to think about how to get the money!" The gold Li Si brought back from America was only a little over 100 million, far from a billion There is still a long way to go. There is still a long way to go to upgrade. I just hope that when Tutut and the others return to Europe again, they can bring enough gold from the Americas. Li Si suppressed other thoughts and returned to the cabin to start reading books. These books were all borrowed from the Venetian library. They were all about religion and miracles. They were prepared for the subsequent personal main mission. The Aris is backHeading to Istanbul at full speed, this journey will take at least more than half a month. As far away as the east coast of Africa, Wooding has begun to build the town of Mozambique and open up the pirate market. Vasco da Gama's fleet has also entered the Indian Ocean. Gama tried to listen to the suggestions of several players, crossed the Indian Ocean, and penetrated into India. The Ming Dynasty's cruise fleet is about to arrive in India. India is still in chaos at this time. Similar to Europe, there are more than a dozen forces on the Indian subcontinent. However, the Timurid Empire, which is at war with the Ming Dynasty, is now in chaos. Quietly occupying absolute power in the northwest of India. The purpose of Zheng He's trip was to follow Emperor Yongle's imperial edict, penetrate directly into the back of the Timur Empire, and force the Timur Empire to withdraw its troops and return to defense.
