Chapter 4256 4258 [The real party]
The two things Xiang Nan ordered were subsequently implemented.
After all, there are so many celebrities, gentry, and dignitaries on board. If something happens, White Star Company will not be able to handle it.
At that time, compensation alone will make the company bankrupt.
Furthermore, if an accident does occur, resulting in death or injury, the White Star Company's image in the upper class will be completely wiped out.
No rich man will ever use their ships again. As a result, they have no choice but to close their doors.
Because high-end cruise ships make money by relying on first-class and second-class passengers. A first-class guest costs hundreds of pounds, while a third-class guest costs only a few pounds. The difference is dozens of times.
Just like airlines also rely on first class and business class to make money, while economy class can only maintain capital, so shipping companies value top customers.
So rather than competing for news and page, it is naturally better to arrive in New York safely.
After the ship slows down and the lookout gets an infrared night vision telescope, he can see further. Even if an iceberg is discovered, it can be avoided in time, which greatly enhances the safety of navigation.
…
Next, the dinner continues.
However, everyone did not eat, drink or chat leisurely. Instead, they all gathered around Xiang Nan.
“Mr. Dawson, where did you learn your magic?” Madeleine asked curiously.
"This is an ancestral talent. My ancestor is Merlin Ambrosius. After assisting King Arthur in ascending to the throne, he retired to the mountains and forests, married a wife and had children." Xiang Nan explained, "His descendants passed on his ’s magical talent and gained his magical heritage.
I guess this magical talent comes from blood. But because each subsequent generation is combined with ordinary people, the bloodline is getting thinner and thinner, and not everyone can inherit magical talents.
My grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather did not inherit this talent, so during the Age of Discovery, he chose to come to America for development and changed his surname to Dawson.
But I didn’t expect that in my generation, perhaps because of my ancestral relationship, my magic talent came back, so I inherited the magic of my ancestor Merlin. "
When everyone heard this, they were amazed and nodded.
European aristocrats are superstitious about blood. After all, they also rely on blood to inherit titles and wealth.
…
“Mr. Dawson, can you really fly?” Guggenheim asked curiously.
Xiang Nan smiled and floated gently.
When everyone saw this, they all praised him.
Then Xiang Nan was seen like a ghost. In an instant, he flashed to the other side, and then flashed back again.
"Wow~" Everyone exclaimed, the speed was so fast that they didn't even see it clearly.
“Mr. Dawson, are you interested in working in our company? I can offer you an annual salary of 100,000 pounds.” At this time, Strauss, the founder of Macy’s Department Store, suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan chuckled and said, "Mr. Strauss, thank you for your kindness. However, do you think a person like me will be short of money? Anything I can find is gold."
As he spoke, he pointed at the glass. The glass suddenly turned golden, brilliant and gorgeous. At first glance, it looked like a beautiful gold cup.
When everyone saw it, they were all horrified, and then they all looked at Strauss and laughed.
It's ridiculous that he actually wants to use money to hire a wizard.
“John, you are too cunning~” When everyone heard this, they all scolded.
Can't the temptation be changed to lust? Moreover, he also wants to keep the magic talent in the hands of the Astor family through marriage, which is a very good plan. "Mr. Dawson, don't believe what Old John says. I have seen his granddaughter, and she is not beautiful at all. My daughter is very beautiful, do you want to consider it?" said Mr. Guggenheim.
"My granddaughter is called French Rose. She is a truly beautiful person. Do you want to consider my granddaughter?" Baron Cozmo also smiled.
Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to worry so much. I have no plans to get married for the time being. Besides, I won't stay in the mortal world for a long time.
I got on the ship this time just to prevent the ship from sinking. When this ship docks, I will say goodbye to you all. You will never see me again. "
Hearing what he said, everyone felt a pang of regret.
"Child, where will you go?" Mrs. Brown asked curiously.
"I don't have a fixed destination. I think I will travel around the world." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "North America, South America, Australia, Asia, Africa, Europe, Antarctica, the North Pole... There are always some places in the world that I have never been to, and there are always some I haven’t appreciated the scenery before…”
Hearing what he said, everyone was yearning for him.
Being able to travel around the world at will is really amazing.
You must know that even wealthy aristocrats in this era cannot go wherever they want.
First of all, transportation is inconvenient. There are no airplanes at this stage, and ocean travel can only be done by boat, which is time-consuming. Secondly, they are not as free as Xiang Nan. These nobles and wealthy businessmen also need to take care of investments and businesses.
“Okay, everyone, I’m glad to meet you tonight.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “But it’s getting late, so please forgive me~”
As he said that, he suddenly disappeared.
Everyone was stunned when they saw it, and then they quickly looked for it, but they couldn't find it anywhere.
…
Just when everyone was panicking, Rose suddenly heard a voice ringing in her ears, "Do you want to go to a real party?"
When Rose heard this, she was immediately happy and nodded immediately.
Subsequently, she disappeared entirely.
But everyone was busy looking for Xiang Nan, so no one noticed her.
Rose immediately felt her hand being held by someone, pulling her out of the banquet hall.
After leaving the banquet hall, Xiang Nan helped her lift the magic spell and then took her to the third class cabin.
In the mobile room here, people are singing and dancing to celebrate the golden night, which is full of joy and lively atmosphere.
This is mainly because the United States had a developed economy at that time and the economic growth rate was extremely fast. Therefore, many people got rich. This also made everyone who immigrated to the past full of hope and illusions about a better life in the future.
Because of this, everyone is very happy. Just like the mood of students going to college in the 1980s.
“The party in the first-class cabin was too depressing. It would be more lively and cheerful here.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Ross couldn't help but be deeply affected when she saw the people attending the third class cabin. Everyone's face was filled with happiness and bright smiles, and they were singing and dancing happily.
“Come on, let’s dance together.” Xiang Nan invited with a smile.
"I can't." Rose watched them swinging and waved her hands.
"It doesn't matter, I'll take you and dance to the rhythm." Xiang Nan smiled, "The dance steps are not important, the key is to be happy."
Hearing what he said, Rose nodded with a smile and followed Xiang Nan onto the dance floor.
