Volume 7 Chapter 3 - Promoting Infrastructure (1/2)

Viscount Razor looked at the business card in his hand and was confused.

“The Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s infrastructure promoting department? What kind of place is this?”

Turning the card over and seeing the mark of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce on the other side, Viscount Razor hesitated a bit before asking the housekeeper beside him, “You said that the one who came with him was someone who worked here as a servant before?”

The housekeeper nodded, “Yes, Lord Viscount. This servant is called Kompany and was very earnest when he worked here, as well as having a good character, so I have some impression of him. He is someone from our town, so I think there shouldn’t be any problems.”

“It’s like this……” Viscount Razor looked at the card two more times before waving his hand, “Invite them in.”

“Yes.”

After a while, Joshua and Kompany were led into Viscount Razor’s little manor in the suburbs of Arafat Town.

Seeing Viscount Razor sitting in the main seat, Kompany immediately gave him a respectful bow.

“This little one greets the Lord Viscount.”

Joshua had an interested look as he looked over Viscount Razor before giving a slight bow.

“Greetings to the Lord Viscount.”

Viscount Razor looked at Kompany and immediately lost interest in him as he turned to look over Razor. Seeing his neat clothes and his noble attitude, as well as the confident smile on his face, it could be seen that he wasn’t a normal person. He reached out his hand to gesture at the seats beside him, “Please sit.”

While Joshua sat down, Kompany hesitated a bit before carefully sitting in the chair beside him. However, he had his head lowered and didn’t dare look up at Viscount Razor.

In his mind, Viscount Razor was someone who was at the peak. He never thought that there would be a day where he would be a guest of the lord mayor.

Seeing the two sit down, Viscount Razor was silent for a bit before raising the business card in his hand and asking Joshua, “You say that you are a manager from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s infrastructure promoting department, but why have I never heard of this department?”

Joshua revealed a faint smile, “Because this department was just created last August. It only operated on a trial basis in the Stantine Duchy and the Lampuri Kingdom and it has only entered the Falk Kingdom this year. It isn’t strange at all that the Lord Viscount has never heard of it before.”

“Is that so?” Viscount Razor looked at Joshua with a doubtful gaze, “Then this whatever…..infrastructure promoting department, what does it do? This name really does sound strange.”

Joshua took out a document from the bag he brought and gave it to Viscount Razor.

“The so-called infrastructure promoting department is the department that is responsible for infrastructure work. I am one of the managers of this department, mainly responsible for the work in the Drake Duchy and the Falk Kingdom.”

Viscount Razor looked at the document, but he didn’t look closely as he knitted his brows to ask, “Then tell me, what kind of infrastructure do you mean? Why is your Frestech Chamber of Commerce promoting it?”

“Infrastructure is a very wide subject and if you want to divide it, it should be divided into transportation, energy use, education, health, and sports. If you divide it again, it would be……”

“Alright, alright, stop.” Viscount Razor knitted his brows and waved his hand, “I say, why does my head get blurry when you say all these things? I can understand transportation, isn’t it what your Frestech Chamber of Commerce and Amrit Chamber of Commerce always say in your advertisements? Right, ‘if you want to be rich, first pave roads’?”

“Right, but transportation isn’t just about building roads, it also includes river transport and sea transport, as well as the air transport that our company is currently studying and the railroad transport that our company is hoping to implement in the future. Moreover, in order to ensure that this transport isn’t impacted, there is all kind of maintenance and logistics that needs to be considered, so…..”

“Stop!” Viscount Razor cut off Joshua once again, “All the things that you’re saying, how is it related to you coming to see me?”

Joshua pointed at the document he gave Viscount Razor with a smile.

“Lord Viscount, this is a cooperation plan that our department has drawn up, please take a look.”

Viscount Razor knitted his brows to look at him before seriously looking through this document.

Although this document wasn’t thick, Viscount Razor took a full half an hour to finish reading it.

After he finished reading, he thought for a bit before saying to Joshua, “I have two problems.”
