The wealthy businessman named John didn't rush to answer Daniel's question. Instead, he looked at the airship with admiration and then replied leisurely, "Alright, I admit that such a big guy is absolutely irresistible. If the Australasians succeed in their global voyage this time, I'm willing to invest 5 million US dollars."
This is actually the gap between the way the upper and lower classes view issues. While the lower-class people were amazed by the airship, capable people were perhaps already thinking about the potential uses and value of the airship.
Within the range of Los Angeles, there are many capitalists who are paying attention to this airship. Many capitalists who cannot make it to Los Angeles have also sent subordinates or are also following news about the airship.
Once the airship's global voyage is truly successful, that is when the airship's golden age will arrive, airship travel companies will spring up everywhere, entering the golden age of airship commerce.
