Chapter 480: Harvest

Due to the arrival of the Three Virtues, many things went unexpected.

For example, the annual council of the Mage Nation, for example, the undead who used to visit on time every day.

The annual council is a grand ceremony for the country of mages, an opportunity for newcomers to come ahead, a platform for veteran mages to exchange (show off) the latest achievements, and a stage to determine the balance of power between all parties and prepare for next year's division of taxes, interests, and resources.

For large magic societies, if they can't come up with new results and prove that their team and research are on a positive path, next year's tax share and procurement quota (rare magic materials) will be reduced, and even the stock market share will be greatly reduced, and the assets of the core members of the team will depreciate.

Yes, that's right, share price.

Times are different, smart people are everywhere, and the advanced and effective systems and methods of other worlds are the easiest things to be carried and copied.

Mage is a profession that burns money, and money is never enough, fortunately, these experts who study the rules and truth really have two brushes, which can turn some of the results into real gold coins, and the major magic societies have their own industries and trump card goods.

Of course, everyone knows that archmages are very busy, and the latest achievements are all treasures in the laboratory, or killer features that they themselves hide, and what is commoditized outside is some outdated, uncombatable by-products.

But who told them that even if they came up with third-rate defective products, they were the world's top advanced technology, and the various goods of the Mage Country had always sold quite well.

Stocks can make a small capital increase tenfold in a short period of time, and can make the empty treasure house be filled in just three months, and the rich, reputable and future archmages will always be short of money, and there is no reason to refuse such a good "money raising (cheating)" plan.

But soon, they find themselves kidnapped by capital, in order to make their stock price rise, so that they have more research funds next year, so that they will not become the laughing stock of their colleagues because of debt, they must come up with decent results every year, to convince more fools to buy their shares, and maintain or even raise the stock price of the society.

Originally, this was also what Rorschach originally expected, and most of the emerging clubs followed this principle, coming up with some decent results on the podium of the council at the end of the year, stirring up a concept that sounded very interesting and novel, and then going public to make a good profit.

In the second year, they used the defrauded funds to come up with some decent results, enter a virtuous circle or go bankrupt...... Generally speaking, you will not go bankrupt, after all, even if you can't get any results, you can continue to make up a concept, new research results to cheat money, and you can continue to cheat until the market loses confidence in you, and as long as there is no negative news, this cycle can be as long as five to ten years.

As for the lack of results in 10 years...... First of all, you have to be unlucky to this point, and secondly, it doesn't matter if you really can't get results, just want to buy some obsolete products from the brotherhood, isn't it the same as continuing to cheat money.

In a sense, although it is the same system and the same name, the stock system of the country of mages is completely different from the place of origin, in the eyes of those who care, the stock market of the country of mages is a joke, a joke specially used to collect retail funds, but before the bubble is burst, retail investors are not damaged, and people who know the inside story will not say anything, and they dare not say anything.

Many companies inexplicably succeeded in listing, swept away tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of gold coins, but finally the stock suddenly collapsed, and even the shareholders waited for several years without seeing their so-called trump card products.

Moreover, unlike the capital on the earth, the majority of the shares issued by the society here are always internal shares of the society, which means that it is impossible to use funds to obtain the management and ownership of the magic society, and it is impossible for the proud mages to sell themselves, they just regard it as a tool for financing loans.

This system still exists, and this bubble has never been punctured, but because the mages' thirst for money is endless, especially for newcomers who are eager to get started, and they need a lot of sponsorship...... To put it bluntly, it is much easier to deceive a layman to invest than to deceive a great mage into investing.

Newcomers are forever short of money, and no one can guarantee that they will come up with commercially available results before they burn all their savings.

Take Rorschach, for example.

Buying and cultivating magic materials requires a large amount of gold coins, dozens of small and medium-sized research teams need more gold coins to operate, and buying and hiring mercenaries and adventurers requires long-term and stable gold expenditures.

And these days, Saviara is also buying and organizing her own team, and it seems that she has her own plans, and she has a lot of expenses, and it is too difficult to cheat money from her now.

In the long run, a stable and lasting source of income is not only necessary but also time-sensitive, and it is also a guarantee for the health of a team, so Rorschach had previously managed to get in touch with the military warband of the Mage Country, and made money by selling arms.

But obviously, the other party's purchase volume is really low, and they are purchasing "civilian" and "low-damage" weapons such as smoke bombs and suppression bombs, so naturally they can't sell them at a high price.

And the biochemical and large-scale destruction weapons that can really be sold at a high price, Rorschach has also taken it out......... There are really no buyers.

After all, if a warband buys a little auxiliary equipment and suppression of public security equipment, it can still be reimbursed to its superiors, and if a warband that has assumed the duty of guarding buys large-scale lethal weapons and biological and chemical weapons, the superiors really want to wonder if you plan to rebel.

Maybe after a long time, there are still careerists and official channels who will come to buy, but Rorschach has no patience to wait for one day, and he doesn't feel that he has competed with any local native-born archmage with clean background.

As a result, there was the previous scene, the hype at the council, and the big sales pitch that followed.

However, due to the arrival of the virtues, Rorschach had no choice but to miss the last few days of the council, which was supposed to be the most suitable stage for sales and commodity trade.

The expected large number of subscription contracts seemed to have to wait for a later opportunity.

But from another point of view, the arrival of virtues also saved Rorschach a lot of trouble.

For the archmage, knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and for many people, you stand in his way to riches, and you are the mortal enemy he must get rid of.

The world of archmages is not all harmonious, and the lower limit of some people is quite low, when Rorschach didn't have any treasures before, it was naturally very safe, and now it is ........ Thinking about it from another angle, it is absolutely impossible for Rorschach to release his research results, so if you lack strength and still have a treasure, it will naturally attract robbers.

Thanks to the arrival of the virtues, this clear attitude of support has made anyone who seeks to take the mystery of life and death consider trading rather than cheaper snatching.

With the fist product of "Honest Heart", Rorschach also tried to register a legal entity and apply for the issuance of company shares.

It stands to reason that this will take a long time to qualify, and there will be many archmages to deal with, and it is indispensable to deal with them openly and secretly, but now they are all saved.

Probably because there is enough limelight these days, or maybe it is the repeated bombardment of recent media reports, the issuance of the first issue of shares is unusually smooth, and Rorschach is a little unbelievable.

"It's 4.2 times, and it's an extra 2 million gold coins overnight? You're kidding me, it's a robbery!"

"Heist is as fast as a financial game, in a sense, it's a kind of robbery, but it's the kind of robbery that the willing takes, but you're in a special situation, the council's archmages and undead masters are buying your stock......"

Rorschach was a little surprised, this shouldn't happen, others don't know that little bit of the society's finance, don't the archmages and the undead bosses still know?

"They're ......"

"They're giving you money, I don't know why, but as a professional financial agent, I have to remind you that behind every profit, there is a reason, either a risk, or a scam. ”

After thanking the financial agent for his advice, Rorschach thought for a moment, but in the end he did not change his original plan.

Money is very important for newcomers like themselves, but for these bigwigs, it is really just a simple number.

Since they are now courting themselves, they have nothing to lose, and what reason is there to refuse.

The courtship of the Council of Truth should not only be the results of its own research, but also the face of the virtues.

And the arrival of virtues also exposes the scheming of the undead......... These thoughts made Rorschach really not know what to say.

Buy Honest Hearts in large quantities, and one by one the Undead Monarch personally came to the Land of Dreams to use them, and at the same time met with Rorschach....... Rorschach has always wondered why these bigwigs are so idle.

But there are too many people, naturally not everyone is tight-lipped, and their purpose Rorschach also knows, this money is really hot.
