Chapter 210 Is your position as head of the family really that comfortable?
Seeing that Noah, who was so much younger than him, was so magnanimous at this time, Dunlop thought for a moment and decided that he couldn't be timid and fearful. He straightened his chest and said, "Today's meeting is a small meeting convened by Noah and me. The content of the meeting is very simple. We just want to inform you that the Davis family and the Leopold family will be building base stations and signal towers in the City of Despair for wireless communication. Some of these signal towers may be built on your territories."
Sera had assumed the meeting would be about Ryan.
Since the operation to capture Ryan began, all four families have sent people out to search for him, but they have been unable to find any trace of him.
We had a meeting after a long time, and the topic turned out to be wireless communication, base stations, and cell towers?
"Could you explain in more detail what wireless communication, base stations, and cell towers are?" Levy asked.
Dunlop was somewhat perplexed, unsure how to explain the terms to them, as he himself didn't quite understand them.
When Noah saw that Dunlop couldn't explain it, he explained what was going on.
After he finished speaking, both Levi and Sera were a little excited, but their eyes showed more disbelief than anything else.
"You guys didn't research more powerful and lighter weapons, but instead developed a tool that allows you to communicate with people a hundred meters or even further away. Does this thing really exist?" Sera asked.
"Our researchers have indeed figured it out, but its application range is limited. Currently, we need to expand its scope to ensure its use in every area of Juecheng, and even outside the city," Noah said.
Levi said, "Could we see that thing? I want to know if wireless communication is as powerful as you say?"
"It's not possible right now. Wireless communication requires a lot of things, including a telephone as a tool for transmitting sound. But we're only making two for now. We'll make more telephones while we're building base stations and signal stations, and then we'll give them to you."
“How can we trust you if you don’t show us?” Sera frowned at Noah. “What if you’re just using this as an excuse to infiltrate our territory and do something bad?”
"You may disagree. Telephones have a limited range, and if no signal towers or base stations are built in your area, you won't be able to use telephones. To be honest, Mr. Dunlop and I called you here to tell you this personally because we don't want to abandon your two families. After all, you can't control what we build on our own territory, can you?"
Noah spoke to Sera with confidence and arrogance.
Dunlop, who was standing to the side, was somewhat bewildered.
Is it really possible to avoid building cell towers and base stations on the territories of the other two families? If so, what's the point of telling them this now?
Dunlop's thoughts were indeed straightforward.
You have to understand that Juecheng is divided up by four major families. The shops next door to yours belong to either the Clarence family or the Milne family. If you don't build a signal tower on their territory, your shops won't be able to receive any phone signals.
Saying this now is just to fool them and trick them into agreeing.
Sera and Levi were indeed somewhat taken aback, and for a moment they both lowered their heads to think about the matter.
Noah didn't bother to say much more to them, and continued, "If you want to send your voice a hundred meters away and talk to someone a hundred meters away, you can go home and ask your scholars. Of course, just because they can't do it doesn't mean that other scholars can't."
"Now, Mr. Dunlop and I can give you three days to consider. If you agree after three days, we will start construction. Of course, if you are worried that the construction workers will plant bombs or something on your land, you can send someone to keep an eye on it throughout the process."
Sera and Levi didn't agree immediately because they were afraid that Noah and Dunlop would use construction as an excuse to plant bombs on their territory.
After all, this is a joint project between the two companies, and if they really have any ulterior motives, they're in trouble.
Seeing that they were still considering, Noah stood up and said, "Let's leave it at that. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"Wait, Noah, there's something else I want to ask you."
Sera called out to Noah, who was about to leave.
Noah looked at her. "What is it?"
"I heard you're going to run for federal president next year, is that true or not?"
"real."
"why?"
Noah did not answer immediately, but just stared at Sera.
Noah could tell from Sera's clear, sharp eyes that she genuinely wanted to know the answer.
But Noah didn't rush to speak; he looked up at Levy and Dunlop.
A flicker of certainty that he had received an answer also welled up in Levy's eyes.
Noah looked at them and asked, "Aren't you going to investigate anything about Uncle?"
"How do we investigate? Wasn't it reportedly missing?" Sera asked as well.
Finding people is very difficult in the North Continent during winter.
Actually, they didn't dare say it. They didn't even bother to look for anyone. They simply arranged for someone to wait in Port Ranelli, like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump.
After all, they lost track of Ryan and the others in the snow. If their own people searched aimlessly in the snow, they might encounter a blizzard, get lost, run out of food, and eventually die in the wild.
They weren't particularly fond of their subordinates' families, but it wasn't easy to cultivate such individuals, and they couldn't let them die so easily.
Therefore, the three families tacitly agreed to station their personnel in Port Ranelli.
Noah was speechless upon hearing Sera's reply. "I thought you guys could investigate some extra information and secretly help me solve some problems. But you didn't do anything. Are you really that comfortable sitting in your positions as heads of the family?"
“Noah, we’re asking you why you’re running for president of the Union. Don’t try to change the subject and talk about Ryan,” Levy said.
Noah sat back down in his chair. "What I'm talking about is related to my uncle. You know who my uncle's father-in-law is, right? Cartlett Barrett, currently the most powerful person in the Federation."
“He has the most power in the Federation, and he doesn’t usually show us much respect, but without Ryan’s support, he wouldn’t amount to anything,” Sera said. “After all, he’s in the Navy and doesn’t have any troops on land.”
"Do you really think Cartlit has no land forces at all?" Noah countered.
Seeing his confident expression, Sera wanted to say definitively that it was definitely not the case, since her family had been keeping a close eye on the Federation's movements.
It is said that the Northern Continent is managed by the four major families, but the Federation is actually one of them. Although the Federation is currently doing things for them, they provide the Federation with a lot of money and weapons.
If the Federation uses the money they give them to attack them, it would be like raising a tiger to cause future trouble. Therefore, the four major families have specially assigned people to keep an eye on the Federation.
