Lord: I have a skill talent tree

Bertner Manor

Study

Papalia was reporting the situation to Ethan at this time.

"So far, the Iris Club has absorbed 87.62 million gold deposits from Saint Fran City, more than half of which were directly converted into Malaysian Yuan.

The interest we offer has been reduced from 2.25% to 0.75%, but a large amount of deposits are still coming in.

Master, I feel that I don't have to pay interest anymore.

The banknotes issued by the Duke of Asino have depreciated several times in just a few months. Not only have local prices soared, but you can't even buy things with banknotes.

The people there are crazy now. They don't care whether there is interest or not. They just want to transfer their property quickly."

Ethan listened and smiled slightly, but did not nod in agreement. Instead, he asked: "What does your father mean?"

"My father also thinks that the interest rate should be lowered again, but not all at once. Zero, but at a rate of 25 basis points, it will take three cycles to slowly decrease.

At the same time, increase the interest rate of the Malaysian dollar and speed up their conversion to the Malaysian dollar.

However, although this can speed up the conversion, I calculated that after three cycles, we will probably have to pay more than 6 million Malaysian dollars in interest. "

"Don't worry about that little money, just do what your father said! What about other aspects?"

"Understood!" Papalia nodded: "Also, the spies we sent have dug up the news.

The Sheffield family's finances are indeed in trouble, but the reason is not what we thought, because of the food war, but because they want to build [Windbreaker]. "

Hearing [Windbreaker], Ethan frowned, and then signaled Papalia with his eyes to continue.

Paparia licked his lips and said carefully:

"From what we know, it seems that they spent a lot of money to buy the design of [Windbreaker] from a magician in the Republic of Helingard.

After getting the design, they began to invest heavily in inscription research and development, as well as shipbuilding and other related industries.

Master, you also know that research and development is very expensive, and they lost the food war miserably, which led to financial problems.

As for where the [Windbreaker] design in the hands of the magician came from, it is still under investigation."

After speaking, Paparia looked at Ethan nervously, because he knew that he would definitely face a storm next.

After all, the [Windbreaker] design was stolen, and it was stolen by foreign forces. There is no need to say how serious this matter is.

But what he didn't expect was that Ethan was not angry, but said: "No need to check!"

Paparia's eyes widened immediately: "Master? Don't you want to track down the lurker?"

"No need, because there is no lurker at all, things are not what you think!" Ethan smiled faintly.

Hearing Ethan say that [Windbreaker] was not stolen, Paparia was confused at first, and after thinking about it, he looked enlightened.

"It turns out that everything was arranged by the master. He deliberately gave them a fake design drawing, and in order to make the play realistic, he specially sent it to the Republic of Helingard.

No wonder they still can't make [Windbreaker], and no wonder the master was so sure that the Sheffield family had financial problems."

Ethan saw that Paparia seemed to have a deeper misunderstanding, and he was a little amused.

When he developed [Windbreaker] with the old guy, Ethan knew that there was another person who would own [Windbreaker].

Therefore, when he heard Paparia say that a magician had the design drawing, he didn't feel strange at all, at most he was just curious about who it was.

However, I really didn't expect that Duke Asino actually got the design drawings of the [Windbreaker]. It really feels like you don't take the road to heaven, but you throw yourself into hell.

If I guessed correctly, the one in his hand should be the original version.

Although there is nothing wrong with that version in concept, there are still many problems to be solved if it is really applied to the ship.

For example, how to ensure the stability of the negative pressure zone on a bumpy ship.

If this problem is not solved, the wind will be unstable, and the ship is likely to lose power with a little wind and waves.

Similar problems are not thought of during the design. Only after applying them to the ship, after various practices and summarizing the problems, can we find ways to solve the problems step by step.

These are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks.

The [Windbreaker] system used by the Lawson family today was improved by Ethan for several generations before the final result was obtained.

If the Sheffield family wants to improve it to a basically usable level, unless they also have a legendary engraver.

It is the kind of improvement that can be completed immediately when an idea comes to mind, otherwise I don’t know how much manpower and financial resources will be invested.

It is normal that they cannot produce a usable [Windbreaker] system now.

However, Ethan believes that as long as they are willing to invest money and spend effort, they will be able to solve all problems sooner or later.

Ethan feels that it is necessary to increase the intensity of sanctions, otherwise if they really make a usable product, it will be troublesome at that time.

Just as Ethan was thinking about how to sanction, the door of the study was pushed open.

"I'm back!" With a crisp voice, a dirty figure jumped in.

The person who came was Catherine who had disappeared for several months. At this time, her whole body was covered with dust, and she looked as if she had been soaked in mud and dried. It is estimated that she must have suffered a lot recently.

Ethan was happy to see Catherine return safely, but seeing her like this, he felt a little distressed.

However, Catherine herself didn't seem to mind. As soon as she entered the room, she took out a thick diary from her bag and placed it on the desk like a treasure.

"Look, what did I bring back for you?"

Ethan had asked Catherine to check the ruins before, and now seeing her excited look, it was obvious that she had gained something.

Although Ethan was very curious about what Catherine had found, he didn't rush to check the notebook on the table, but asked Papalia to go out first.

After Papalia left, he took out a towel and wiped the dust off Catherine's face.

While wiping, he said: "Look at how dirty you are. I will arrange for someone to give you a bath, and then prepare some snacks you like."

Seeing that Ethan cared about her so much, Catherine's eyes widened immediately.

"Why take a bath? Shouldn't you be concerned about what I found first?"

"That's not urgent. You've worked hard during this period. Just get a good rest when you come back. Everything will be discussed after you have rested."

"No!" Catherine shook her head and said, "These are very important! Do you know what I found?

I'll tell you, a huge secret.

Yes, it's a huge secret, as big as the sky!"

As she spoke, Catherine stretched out her hand and gestured, as if she wanted to put the sky in her arms.

Ethan was amused by her cute appearance, and seeing that she insisted, he pulled her to sit on the sofa.

"Okay! Then you talk, I listen!"
