Volume 5 Chapter 3 - Red light stop, green light go (1/2)

The Magic Sedan quickly drove forward and after around half an hour, they finally left the Slight Light Forest.

The giant trees on both sides fell behind them and the front opened up, revealing a vast plain.

Ambassador Hakanin looked forward and his eyes couldn’t help being attracted by the rows of tall buildings in front.

Although they were still very far, ambassador Hakanin could easily tell that these houses were like pillars above the ground, being at least over twenty meters tall.

The tallest among them was even over thirty meters!

Such high buildings were rare even in the Candra Empire.

For ambassador Hakanin, the only thing that he had seen that had reached this shocking height was the Candra Empire’s imperial palace.

Other than this, only the Sacred Light Church’s cathedral was this tall.

However, the Candra Imperial Palace and the Sacred Light Church’s cathedral were the two most important buildings in the Candra Empire. They could be built that high because they had gathered a shocking amount of manpower to complete it.

But in front of ambassador Hakanin now, looking over it, there were over ten buildings that reached this shocking height.

As the Magic Sedan approached those tall buildings, ambassador Hakanin could see several construction sites and there were tall buildings being built there.

Even though they hadn’t been finished, ambassador Hakanin was certain that once these buildings were finished, they wouldn’t be any shorter than the surrounding buildings.

Ambassador Hakanin looked at these tall buildings in a daze and he couldn’t help asking Kennard, “These tall buildings were built by your Frestech Chamber of Commerce?”

“No, we just invested in them. The Amrit Chamber of Commerce were the ones who built them.” Kennard said with a faint smile.

Ambassador Hakanin swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty.

The Candre Empire’s imperial palace had cost a total of seven million gold coins to build and the Sacred Light Church’s cathedral had cost a shocking ten million gold coins.

Although the buildings in front of him couldn’t compare to those two, being able to build such tall buildings meant the Frestech Chamber of Commerce must have spent quite a bit.

According to the meaning in Kennard’s words, all of the buildings in front of him were all built with investments from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce!

Was the Frestech Chamber of Commerce…..actually this rich?

Kennard saw Ambassador Hakanin’s face and knew that he must have misunderstood something. He said with a smile, “Ambassador Hakanin, how much do you think this kind of tall building costs?”

Ambassador Hakanin narrowed his eyes to look at the gradually approaching tall buildings and after calculating for a bit, he said in an uncertain voice, “At least…..At least two million gold coins, right?”

This number was purposefully lowered by ambassador Hakanin. The real estimate in his heart was that for such a tall building, it would cost at least four million gold coins to build this.

However, hearing his answer, Kennard shook his head with a smile.

“Your excellency ambassador, if each building costs two million gold coins, it would cost at least thirty million gold coins for our company to build a total of seventeen buildings. Although our Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s revenue is considered good, it hasn’t reached that level yet.”

Ambassador Hakanin felt the same, so he immediately asked, “Then how much is it for each building?”

Kennard stretched out four fingers.

“It is around four hundred thousand gold coins on average per building.”

“Only four hundred thousand?”

If it wasn’t for the fact he was sitting in a Magic Sedan, ambassador Hakanin would have jumped up in shock.

This number was just too unexpected for thim.

A building that could reach the clouds, it only cost four hundred thousand gold coins to build!

This was too little!

Kennard looked at ambassador Hakanin’s shocked face with a smile. If this matter could catch ambassador Hakanin’s attention and he spread it to the Candra Empire, it would greatly help the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.

When chairman Cruise heard of this, he would definitely thank him.

Of course, this was prepared by sir chairman ahead of time. If chairman Cruise really wanted to thank someone, he should thank sir chairman first.

But in the end, using reinforced concrete to build such tall buildings was something sir chairman had taught the Amrit Chamber of Commerce.

If it wasn’t for sir chairman having no interest in the construction business, the Amrit Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t have a chance.

The Magic Sedan continued forward and soon they were quite close to those tall buildings.

As they came closer, looking up at those tall buildings, people would find them grand.

Ambassador Hakanin stuck his head out the window and wanted to take a good look at the buildings, but the lively scene in front of him had captured his attention.

The region the tall buildings were in didn’t just have these tall buildings.
