Chapter 30 Yacht Ball

  Chapter 30: Yacht Dance Party The Rise of Two Bookstores Under Heaven

  Of course, the great cause of robbing is still a long-term plan, and now it's not bad that small white people like Yang are not robbed. Not having one's own armed forces is absolutely impossible, but to have armed forces, one must first have a territory. Western Australia is a very worthwhile target, a small place, although theoretically it's not small, but in London, Yang Fengcai only knew at the time that there were only tens of thousands of people in Western Australia, and except for Perth, there was basically no city to speak of.

  In the Swan River, gold was discovered a few years ago, which indeed attracted a large number of prospectors, causing a brief prosperity there. However, as one by one hopeful poor devils returned empty-handed, people with infinite illusions about that place were no longer many. So when Yang Da Boss, who made so much money that his hands cramped, announced the registration of a mining company and went to Western Australia to find mines, London's wealthy circles unanimously believed that this guy was also cramping in the brain.

  However, various criticisms could not stop the determination of this oriental tycoon who rose like a comet. After going to Sweden to handle his own industry, mainly building a new oil refinery, and reportedly developing a new type of cannon at Bofors, as well as developing a new type of torpedo, Yang's mining company officially began operations.

  First, recruit security guards, retired soldiers, officers or those with actual combat experience will be given priority. As for the treatment, it's not necessary to mention that a person who can sell a bottle of shampoo for tens of pounds won't care about that little salary.

  There were no fewer than two hundred people, which is understandable. Western Australia was a place where convicts were exiled in the past, so it's easy to imagine what kind of scum and rabble gathered there. If a noble gentleman went to such a place with less than an reinforced company of bodyguards, it would indeed be unsettling.

  These two hundred guards will be equipped with better weapons than the regular army, Lee Enfield rifles, automatic pistols, and will also have four Mark IV machine guns and two Gruson 57mm cannons. Anyway, there are no British troops stationed in Western Australia, and now there is only a symbolic Governor of Western Australia, and the actual management is handled by the Premier elected by the Western Australian State Parliament. Such a strong force is enough to conquer the entire colony of Western Australia, let alone ensuring Mr. Yang's safety.

  "Yang, why do you like Western Australia so much? Honestly, if it weren't for your desire to go there, I wouldn't even know where it is?" Princess asked Yang Feng while dancing at his yacht party. It seems that her sweetheart's previous injury didn't sadden her for too long, and besides, the two aren't even engaged yet. On the other hand, it's said that Ah Bai already has a fiancée, and all he needs to do is propose formally - the other party being a Danish princess who is also his cousin. What a chaotic era this is; no wonder people are either stupid or fragile, and then there are those with disabilities and hemophilia.

  "Your Highness, to be honest, my greatest wish is to have a piece of land that belongs to me, not like those small estates, but something similar to a city. Since I'm not a noble, I'll just have to buy one myself. If I were to buy a city in England, I reckon Her Majesty the Queen would be displeased, but if I went to the colonies and bought some land, I reckon she wouldn't care less. I'd go to Western Australia and buy tens of thousands of square kilometers of uninhabited land, exploit its mineral resources if there are any, or set up a plantation if not, and then build my own castle on it. When that happens, Princess, you must come visit me." Yang Feng said with an expression full of infinite longing.

  "That's natural," said Alice with a smile, dancing a little jig.

  His yacht attracted a lot of guests today, but they were all some young people around the same age, either second-generation or multi-generational, except for noble sons and daughters of bankers and entrepreneurs. On the Thames River at night, under the dim light of the red lanterns, the young men and women in their finery danced to the accompaniment of the band, with several couples even showing obvious over-the-top behavior, such as the idiot and the girl in his arms dancing too close together.

  After dancing with Alice, the two sat down to one side, just chatting and laughing when suddenly Ah-Dai ran over, somewhat impatiently pulling him aside to ask in a low voice: "Yang, do you have any Blue Medicine here?"

  Yang Feng glanced at the blushing girl behind him and smiled, saying: "Your Highness, I have something even better here. Want to try it? And this thing is also very effective for women."

  The fool's eyes lit up immediately and he nodded hastily.

  Yang Feng personally got up and handed him the divine artifact he had already prepared, as for what it was, there's no need to say, even in modern times, it's a must-have for gatherings of second-generation heirs. Looking at Viktor Prince who was sneaking out with that girl, Yang Da Boss smiled brightly, this was something he had just made after running to Sweden and working hard. Just thinking about how this good thing would spread throughout the upper class of European countries in the future, he felt an irrepressible excitement.

  "What are they drinking?" Alice asked curiously.

  "Your Highness, this is not suitable for you." Yang Feng said with a smile.

  Alice also guessed a bit from his expression and glared at him with a red face.

  "Your Highness, there's no need to control this kind of thing too much. Although it goes against morality, but what is morality anyway? It's just something that others tell us, our parents tell us, books tell us, teachers tell us. But what about our own thoughts? Shouldn't we have our own ideas?" Yang Feng said with a shrug.

  This princess is a person with very severe authoritarian ideas and strong control desires, such people are very suitable for indoctrinating some rebellious and heretical thoughts.

  Alice wore an expression of contemplation.

  Yang Feng immediately shifted the topic: "Your Highness, I don't know about the situation with the Russian crown prince?"

  "There's nothing much to it," said Alice. "I wired him and he seems to have only been slightly injured, and is practically all right now."

  "The Russian Emperor should send troops to severely punish these dwarfs and let them know the consequences of offending a powerful country." Yang Feng said indignantly.

  "Perhaps His Majesty the Tsar has his own considerations, but I also think they should be taught a lesson." Alice said indignantly.

  At this time, Prince Viktor's actions had already attracted many guests attending the ball. Upon learning of its purpose, they immediately condemned Yang Feng for hiding such a good thing and not sharing it with others. As a result, Mr. Yang could no longer hide his secret. Several couples who were already interested immediately followed their desires, taking their own portions under the guidance of the servants to enjoy in private rooms. The remaining guests couldn't help but start flirting with their dance partners, using sweet words to seduce them.

  However, Boss Yang didn't want to get himself into trouble, unless both parties were willing, otherwise he wouldn't provide it. As for later, if they bought from Jin Yuan themselves, the Jin Yuan company wouldn't care what they used it for.

  "It's actually a medicine, a good remedy for relieving fatigue. The purpose of inventing this drug is purely medicinal, and anything else is just a side effect. I personally do not advocate for you all to use it for that purpose." Mr. Yang said with righteous indignation.

  As for what he said, it was basically taken as a fart.

  The yacht will continue to open until the second day of dawn, and the Parrot Shell will return to London's dock, sending away those satisfied customers. Yang Da Boss immediately began preparing for his journey to Western Australia, this time he specially brought Lin Ke with him, because the content of the yacht club was not very healthy, so he did not call his fiancée.

  During this time, Lin Hui and her comic studio achieved great success, not only completing The Rose of Versailles but also starting the creation of Wolf and Spice, which has captivated European girls who have been indulging in romantic daydreams, especially in universities, where they now have their own enthusiastic fans.

  Although it was a period of career advancement, the little girl was still full of excitement to travel with Yang Feng. Especially for a traditional-minded girl like her, after returning to London, she rarely stayed overnight at Yang Feng's mansion due to shyness, but on the sea, she could let go completely. Anyway, on the boat, except for Yang Feng and his two little maids, there was no one she knew.

  The Parrot brought over 250 people, including a guard of 200 men, financial personnel, lawyers, employees specially sent by the Rothschild Bank, and even an officer from the Royal Navy. The latter was following to inspect the diesel engine, as Armstrong had already lobbied the Royal Navy to purchase a trial destroyer using Yang's diesel engine, which promised speeds over 35 knots.

  After renovation, the weight of the Parrot-class cruiser increased significantly, and with so many more passengers on board, plus all sorts of supplies, its top speed had been reduced to twenty-five knots; but even that was enough to leave Commander Andrew agog - this was faster than any cruiser, and what's more, the ship could maintain this speed indefinitely.

  "Mr. Yang, if we travel at a speed of twenty-five knots, how far can we go on one full tank?" he asked with a serious face.

  "I don't know, but last time I drove from Texas in the US to London at a speed of 28 sections without refueling halfway." Yang Feng said with a pleased expression, hugging Lin Luoke's waist.

  Andrew swallowed hard, now the fastest cruiser, can maintain twenty knots of high speed for several hours is already terrible, he can actually use twenty-eight knots to run thousands of kilometers, this is no longer terrible but against the sky.

  Commander Andrew wrote down in his notebook a sentence that would forever be remembered and cursed by the British Navy for a century: Diesel engines are the future of the Royal Navy.
