Our island owner is always playing dead

This question surprised not only Sullivan, but also everyone present, because few people noticed this matter.

Ye Limo couldn't help but look at the person who asked the question a few more times. Among the nobles, are there people who are so sensitive to numbers?

Sullivan said very appreciatively: "It's amazing, Mr. Duke Sherrick. I didn't expect you to discover this secret. Yes, we now have a relatively systematic calculation method, which is much simpler than the one we usually use. Many, just to learn, it takes a lot of energy."

The butler explained to Ye Limo in a low voice: "This Duke Sherick comes from a huge business family, and the members of his family all have a strong talent for doing business. This Mr. Sherick is right Numbers are very sensitive."

Ye Limo nodded.He knows that some people in the world are born with special sensitivity to numbers, and some people will also be very sensitive to numbers through acquired training.Such a person would be very suitable for studying mathematics or other data-related industries.

Duke Sherick asked: "Excuse me, can I learn this method?"

Sullivan was a little embarrassed, and said hesitantly, "This..."

Duke Sherick asked: "Is there any inconvenience for Mr. Sullivan?"

Sullivan said: "There are indeed some inconveniences, Mr. Duke, because this method was developed by His Majesty the King. Without his approval, I cannot agree to your request on my own initiative."

This time Sherick was very surprised.If it is said that the invention of such things as telescopes and diving glasses will make him feel very surprised, but if he can come up with a more convenient and perfect calculation method, he is definitely a genius.

Duke Sherick immediately turned to Ye Limo and said, "Your Majesty, after hearing Mr. Sullivan say that, I am even more curious about this set of mathematical methods."

Ye Limo said calmly: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Duke Sherick, although Sullivan said that this method was invented by me, in fact, I was just picking up the wisdom of others. It's not that I summed up the law, but It’s just some learning on the basis of predecessors.”

The Arabic numerals were invented by the Indians, and the multiplication tables were invented by his ancestors. Of course, Ye Limo couldn't say that he made them all by himself.

Duke Sherick said with great interest: "I would like to hear more about it."

Ye Limo simply said nonsense: "I learned this method from an ancient mathematics book called "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". This book has been lost, so I can't find this book. It's just this method It was so practical, so I wrote it down, and saw that Solaire, Sullivan and others were very hard when using numbers on weekdays, so I taught them this method, hoping that these methods can help them in daily life. work more conveniently.”

Duke Sherick became even more interested, and continued to ask: "Then, may I ask Your Majesty the King, can you teach me this method as well?"

Ye Limo smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Duke, I believe you understand the value of knowledge better than ordinary people. Let me teach you, of course it is also possible. I think this method should bring great benefits to you and your family's business. Convenience, save you a lot of trouble, save a lot of cost, and even avoid a lot of risks, so as to help you grow your family business even more."

As a veteran in the business field, Sherick immediately understood what Ye Limo meant.

Knowledge, this thing is worthless in the eyes of those who don't understand it, but it is absolutely priceless in the eyes of those who understand it.

The family of the Duke of Sherrick has a huge business, and a lot of calculations are performed every day, and they have begun to assess risks and make business decisions based on data.If this set of methods can really help a lot, it will definitely be a great help to the Sherick family.

Although it is said that cultural knowledge is the wealth of all mankind, it is also the crystallization of hard work for those who have worked so hard to discover, summarize and invent many laws of knowledge. Therefore, even if they use this knowledge in exchange for some benefits, it is understandable and accepted.

Duke Sherick said kindly: "Your Majesty, what do you think your method needs to be replaced with?"

In fact, Ye Limo didn't have any ideas in his mind. This situation happened completely suddenly. He never thought that Arabic numerals and multiplication table would become a commodity, and there would be people who understood its value and were willing to exchange it at a high price.

Ye Limo pondered for a while, thinking about how to answer.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the business prospects of Heat Island are very good.Under such circumstances, the economy of the heat island will gradually develop.

However, the heat island’s infrastructure is backward, its population is extremely scarce, and its military is also very backward. If it can make money now, it will not be a problem to develop these in the future, but if you can take a shortcut, you can’t give up such an opportunity.

So Ye Limo said: "Mr. Duke, my price will not be low."

Duke Sherick smiled and said: "Your Majesty, since I heard about you, I have always felt that you are a very business-minded person, so I have already prepared myself, please tell me your Ask for it."

Ye Limo said: "If that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite. I request, in the name of me, to obtain [-]% of the shares of your family's shipping business."

This time, not only Sherick was frozen, but even the people around who were listening were also stunned.

Even Sorel felt a little unbelievable. Isn't His Majesty's request too much?

At present, the Sherrick family is the leader in the shipping industry, and they can firmly occupy this position. In addition to their strong political background, the Sherrick family has important shipbuilding and navigation technologies, and they even have an understanding of the marine environment. Very advanced research.

The shipping industry is an industry that includes knowledge in many aspects.As one of the core industries of the Sherick family, how could the Sherick family allow Ye Limo to hold a certain share in their shipping industry?

Many people didn't show it on their faces, and they had already started to laugh at Ye Limo's big mouth.

Although Duke Sherick was shocked, he still replied calmly: "I cannot agree to this request alone. Your Majesty the King, I have to discuss with the family before I can make a decision."

Ye Limo said: "I understand such an answer, Mr. Duke. I will wait for the good news."

After listening to the conversation between the two, everyone felt that this should be just a joke. After all, the Sherick family should not be so confused as to use [-]% of the shares in the shipping industry to buy a so-called important calculation method.

There are two considerations for Ye Limo's request. If the Sherick family can agree, it will definitely be a big advantage. But if the Sherick family refuses, it can be regarded as protecting the intellectual property rights of Arabic numerals and multiplication tables. .

You can't blame Ye Limo for being too stingy. Although knowledge is shared by all human beings, it is not unconditional.Only when knowledge can be realized can it reflect its value more intuitively, and only then can more people be willing to pay for it.

After all, there are not many true scientific madmen like Talitan in the world.With all the enthusiasm, how many scientists have fallen into the sand.

So what is the most expensive thing in the world?It is knowledge.

Ye Limo found Kinney and made binoculars and diving glasses based on knowledge. It was because of the knowledge he had acquired in his previous life that it was not so difficult for him to be a king in this life.

When it was time to enjoy lunch, the kitchen sent out all kinds of food like water, and made some delicious food from the fish, shrimps and crabs that everyone just caught in the sea.

The aristocrats enjoyed the food they caught, and found it delicious and satisfying. The way the chefs in Hot Island cook seafood is really different from other places.I don't know why the chef Ye Limo brought from Aoxin Empire is so distinctive.

While the tourists on board were enjoying their food, the ship had already weighed anchor and headed to the next sea area, which was the sea area that Sullivan mentioned could be used for snorkeling.

After Ye Limo had lunch, he went back to his cabin to take a lunch break.In such a hot weather, people are lazy, and they can't lift their spirits when doing anything.

When Ye Limo woke up, the nobles had already started snorkeling under the auspices of Sullivan.

Except for those who are very afraid of water, most nobles are eager to try snorkeling.

After all, the nobles have experienced strong winds and waves. Although activities such as snorkeling are a bit dangerous, they are also very curious. Only by trying and experiencing can they have fun in the risk.

Standing on the boat, you can see some reefs protruding from the bottom of the sea.Those reefs seem to be very close to the sea surface. In fact, they are now several meters or even tens of meters deep. Because the sea water is very clear, they can be seen.But if you think the reef is safe, it is definitely an illusion.

Before the nobles went into the water, Sullivan asked them to put on a pair of socks and gloves to avoid being cut and scratched when they touched the reef while swimming in the water.

Most of the reefs have protruding sharp edges and shells left by some shellfish. These are sharp as daggers and may bleed when touched lightly.The sea water is very salty. If you are injured and then soaked in sea water, the painful feeling is really indescribable.So Sullivan repeatedly emphasized that you must protect your flexible hands and feet. If you are injured in the sea, you may not be able to return to the boat safely due to the impact of pain, so don't underestimate these small dangers and small injuries.

Sullivan, who spent most of his life at sea, is really suitable to guide the nobles in these sea activities.

Ye Limo suddenly felt that Sullivan was like the teachers in the adult swimming class in the swimming pool, and these nobles were like the students in the swimming class. The teachers were hardworking, but the students were ignorant of the danger, and only thought that the swimming they were about to try was very interesting. and fresh.
