221. Be still in the dark
Nirje died, but the collapse of the Dark Council did not materialize. /QŠ(5), CĒŠ/ In a moment of confusion and panic, under the combined blows of the Holy See in Europe and the Truth Society in the United States, the Dark Council was indeed hit by what could almost be called a purge in just a few days, but when another leader appeared, the Dark Council quickly settled down. Although the losses were heavy and a large number of elite-level members were defeated and died, Jisi's survival is indeed irreplaceable for the survival of the entire Dark Council. Kiss didn't even grieve for a single day about the death of Neelje, who had always trusted her, and she quickly devised a plan to turn a large number of members of the Dark Council from light to darkness. In fact, they were originally hidden in the corner, not noticed by most people, but in the *** of the capable cultivators, the existence of these people was not a secret, and this time, they wanted to completely leave everyone's sight, at least for this dangerous time, at least to avoid the weakest days of the Dark Council. And luckily, they did.
When Ji Si gave down all kinds of instructions, no one knew which instructions were used to help them live, and which instructions were used to make them bait and attract the attention of some people, but in this situation, all everyone could do was to grasp the straw. But in any case, hatred spreads in everyone's heart after all.
Will the truth be the winner? Will the Holy See be the winner? or will the Druid Council be the answer? Either way, any group would not take too much thought of the possible revenge of the already waning Dark Council. It is reasonable to be cautious, but it is not necessary to be overly careful. After this great battle, everyone also realized that the druids were so powerful. Although the druids are small in number. Shalts are rarely brought into battle between the Able and the Cultivator when they are lacking men, but the magical abilities of the Druids make them incredibly powerful in times of need.
Perhaps, what the Druid Council gained from this operation was only a promise from the Holy See, but this promise, which was almost equivalent to a blank check, was extremely satisfying to the top of the Druid Council. And by virtue of this action, the friendship of the Holy See was gained, and in many ways the understanding of the Truth Society was reached, which was an unexpected gain. At least for a while, the druids can do a lot of what needs to be done.
Zuo Lin didn't even have time to care about how much of a sensation Oaktree International's cardiovascular drugs caused after they were launched globally, and he didn't have time to take a look at the information he had sent to shareholders for his own purposes, and how terrible the number of orders was flocking. He had so much to do.
Hermione had arrived in London after playing in Jerusalem for almost a week, and Virgin Records had already invited the band as she requested, the singers who would shine their voices on the album, the friends of Hermione who would make cameos on the album, and the designer who had prepared the sleeve for the album. There is even a director who will shoot the MV for several tunes from the album. Zorin, Murray, Pauletta, and others, and even Irina, a peer with whom Hermione had formed a strong friendship during her travels in Africa, were on Hermione's invitation list. The album was months in the making, but the recording process went surprisingly smoothly, and it took 4 days to complete the recording of the full set of songs.
And the executives of Virgin Records were surprised that after a few months of "collecting style", this talented girl in the music of the new century, who was originally known for expressing delicate emotions and obscure themes, actually had such a huge growth and change, and the change was so great that it could not even be called new century music. The rhythm of African indigenous music is blended with piano, violin and a range of instruments to give it a bit of a grand narrative, and the strife in the vast grasslands, blood and romance are all expressed in a series of songs on this album. Alba, a black soprano who was born in Central Africa and went through hardships to achieve her success, was overwhelmed by the excitement of seeing the score and sketching the melody in her head, in order to win among several beautiful voices and gain the power to perform the piece in the final version. She even offered several times that she could not be paid, because the song seemed to take her back to the place where she was born, and reminded her of the beauty and misery of the beautiful steppe and forest. Since she was indeed the most suitable of the three candidates for soprano, Hermione did not grant her request for no pay.
The sounds that I had imagined countless times in my head were finally mixed and made into a record master in just two days. When Hermione turned her ideas, her expressions, and her ideas into music that surprised and shocked everyone, the executives at Virgin Records knew they were witnessing the birth of a musician who would become a classic, a legend. You must know that Hermione is only a little older now, and she will have a lot of time to save for the next breakthrough in the future. What's more, Hermione's creation is only an album, and Hermione has even taken out some tracks from the second and third albums that followed.
After the album was released online for a preview of a tune, the number of downloads was astronomical, and the predetermined number for the entire album guaranteed that the non-pop album would probably be at the top of the sales charts for a long time. Everyone was excited, except for two people: one was the designer of the album sleeve, and the other was the director of the MV. In the process of working with several druids, Hermione was deeply affected by their environmental philosophy, and she asked that the cover of the album, including the box, be made entirely of recycled paper, and that her environmental stance should be clearly marked in a prominent position, and that a large part of the income from the album would be used to establish the "Virgin One Africa Fund" to fund the protection of Africa's pristine ecology, as well as the development of Africa's economy and the improvement of the living standards of indigenous peoples without destroying the ecology. Zuo Lin, who couldn't bear to look at the designer's embarrassment, kindly reminded that now even plastic boxes can actually be recycled, which not only did not dispel Hermione's thoughts, but strengthened her desire to use recycled paper to make packaging. There is no way to make the CD out of plastic, it can't cause any other environmental pressure, especially since the release numbers of this album are so horrific. Tens of millions of plastic boxes are no fun.
Another problem that plagued Zuo Lin was that the sales figures and pre-order figures of the "Xinlian" series of cosmetics had accumulated to a very frightening level despite the fact that countless processes had been streamlined through both in-store and online channels. Fortunately, there was no procedure for prepayment of a deposit for online sales, but a process of notification of arrival and payment within a specified date. Otherwise, the deposit alone may be able to accumulate a considerable flow of funds. Many consumers have no choice but to buy products developed by other cosmetics brands using some of the "heart lotus" ingredients after seeing that their orders may be queued for 3 months or more according to the usual process, and even those products cannot be guaranteed. After all, the production of Tianxin Lotus determines that it is impossible to supply unlimited to any party, and even if other cosmetics brands are black-hearted and dilute the ingredients contained in the products, there is a bottom limit after all. This may be good news, but due to the imbalance of supply in various regions, many consumers who are very time and mood have sued the court that Jiongshi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has discriminated against a certain race in such and such a region...... That's pretty frustrating. However, now the CEO of Jiongshi is Gu Mingyuan. As a lawyer, he is not afraid of lawsuits, and has organized a team of lawyers to deal with this kind of matter. Zuo Lin felt troublesome, in order to avoid this situation from continuing to happen, on the basis of the original real-name online ordering system, a new rule was added: according to the cumulative order volume, once a week, the delivery will be issued to the top three areas of the order volume of 10, 5, 2 goods respectively, priority to solve the problem of queuing in the area where the order is full. In this way, we will be able to avoid the lawsuits that everyone calls discrimination. Anyway, the original Xinlian product is a high-priced and high-profit product, simplifying the sales channel to almost no outlets, only logistics, but not reducing the pricing to maximize the profits of Jiongshi Biology. In the current situation, solving problems is also the priority, and the development of the user base is secondary.
As for the special beauty salon of "Xinlian", although the situation of customers continues to be overwhelming, it is still modest. Beauty salons are more of a showcase than a sales outlet. In addition to China, there is now almost one store in one time zone in other places, which can be regarded as a precedent for the layout of chain enterprises.
There are also many new problems, such as now that Zhang Ling's hard work in Brazil, the "fruit" that could not be mass-produced has begun to be mass-produced, and the output is quite considerable. Is it used as a beverage or as a fruit? How to do deep processing? How to spread the sales channels? Zuo Lin, who knows nothing about this, is so worried that his head is big. It's not just "fruits", Monica and Bergkamp came up with a lot of fruits and cash crops that can coexist with the rainforest when they first made the plan, and the planting methods are surprisingly extensive. Throw the seeds into the forest and fend for themselves! Now, thanks to the 12,000 square kilometers of rainforest, although all of them have not been fully developed, a considerable number of various crops have been produced by planting a wide range of crops and harvesting them slightly. These things have to be digested quickly, especially those fruits. At the beginning, the output was small, and the supply of some high-star hotels as special fruits was consumed, and now the problem is that it cannot be consumed, and it has to seek deep processing means.
Another big problem is environmental engineering in Shanghai. After a careful assessment, the Shanghai municipal government proposed that Zuo Lin take the lead in building a series of waste treatment plants, not only to meet Shanghai's daily waste generation and treatment needs, but also to eliminate non-degradable waste that had previously been disposed of by landfills and other means at a certain rate. The Shanghai Municipal Government will provide a loan guarantee for the required funds. The Shanghai municipal government, which has begun to move trees from the Appalachian Mountains to create a pristine forest belt in the center of the city, seems determined to go all out and over again. However, this put Zuo Lin in an extremely embarrassing situation: It is no problem to dispose of all the garbage, and it is nothing to bear the reputation of a garbage king, but what should be done with so much insect oil produced? The military, the National Security Bureau, and the Special Affairs Bureau can only consume part of it, and it is impossible to popularize it in an all-round way, but if we find out the function and function of the insect oil now, won't we be in an extremely dangerous situation? Although it is a matter of time before we come into conflict with those oil tycoons, it is not now.
The advantage of having the backing of the state came into play at this time, and within two days of complaining to Yu Hai, the solution came out. A new fuel-saving device developed by the military turned out, "due to its performance is not only suitable for military use, but will be used in government vehicles in Shanghai, Nanjing, Beijing and other cities." The local garrison and armed police will use vehicles to popularize it", which fully demonstrates the country's determination to build an energy-saving society. All the insect oil produced will be purchased by an institution, and then a slight price increase of a dime will be used as a logistics cost and transported to various cities. There was already a special gasoline regulation for government cars, but now it is only regarded as a supplement to the regulations, and those who actually use cars have no idea that their cars are burning insect oil. But invisibly, the car with more N has reached the emission standard that is many times higher than the Euro 2 standard. The annual reduction in emissions and greenhouse gases is significant.
Using Shanghai's garbage treatment plants as an example, Passare began to work tirelessly to implement the strategy of slow encirclement, building garbage treatment plants in many cities at the same time. Fortunately, the funds are very secure now, otherwise, there would really be no way to carry out such a grand layout.
Of course, of all the messy things, some can only be completely classified as troubles, and there are also things that have never turned around. For example, when her due date was approaching, Emile disappeared from the delivery room that had been prepared for her at Hopton Palace. She left with a simple luggage and a considerable sum of money that she had saved. Although the movement of pregnant women was inconvenient, it was not a problem for Emile, who left Hopton Palace without much effort. After all, no one was guarding against her coming.
Emile had left a note telling everyone not to worry, because it couldn't even be said to be a letter. She said that the appearance of having a baby was terrible and she didn't want everyone to see it. She won't have an accident, she will bring the child back when she is a few months old, she has enough money around her, and the place has already been chosen. Don't go to her. He also threatened Zuo Lin that if he went to her, she would forcibly transform into a bird to produce, so that Zuo Lin could think about how powerful the bird's imprint was, and when the time came, he would not recognize him, and the father would not blame her for not saying it in advance.
When a druid, especially a well-equipped druid, is determined to hide his tracks, there is no chance of being discovered. It's too small, it's too big, and God knows which inaccessible corner Emile, who can live anywhere, will go off the beaten track to give birth.
It's depressing. It's so depressing. Originally, after the end of his trip to Europe, Zolin was going to go to Scotland to accompany Emile, but this happened. Zolin couldn't blame anyone, he couldn't blame Emile, because he should have thought that Emile was that kind of person, a magical creature between a woman and an animal. He couldn't even blame the insincerity with which the others had suppressed their laughter when they comforted him, after all, everyone understood that the relationship between Zolin and Emile would probably be like this, full of drama and fun.
Fortunately, Zuo Lin still has some channels in his hands to vent his frustration. For example, now that he realizes that the combat units of the Druid Operations Division are really a bit too distant, he can throw out a detailed training syllabus, so that those Druids who have already entered the Operations Division and those who intend to enter the Operations Division can feel the significant improvement in their abilities and the rapid enrichment of combat experience, but also feel the hardships of training and the difficulty of the Force of Nature system. Pain and happiness are common feelings of all trainees. Among these trainees was Irina, a guy who had witnessed Zuolin's battle several times, and she now admired this "lion", and these feelings would spread to the ears of all trainees. There may be some skepticism, but the trainer Pauletta will tell them that Irina's description is not even a bit exaggerated. Even much younger than the average age of the trainees, Zolin unwittingly became the new idol of the Operations Division and all the younger generation of druids.
Perhaps because there were so many things going on, Zolin had little time to think about returning to football, and although he was still a member of Nike's signings, he didn't play in the domestic league until September. Although the Shenbao team could not maintain the record of zero goals conceded easily when Zuo Lin was there, the young goalkeepers brought out by Zuo Lin's training methods were strong enough, and now the main goalkeeper of the Chinese national team is from the Shenbao team. As for the national team, head coach Edward probably didn't feel the need to risk falling out with some people in the Football Association and calling Zuo Lin into the team again. Anyway, the record of clean sheets or relying too much on any one player's tactics is not to his liking.
What is more meaningful is that Zuo Lin has set up a consulting company specializing in solving various biological and ecological problems with the action department as the team, providing consulting services and practical solutions for all kinds of governments at all levels and various organizations around the world. Although the price was staggering, in August of that year, after Insura's efforts to solve the widespread problems of building mildew, termites and infectious diseases in New Orleans after the reconstruction, the agency called "Wilderness Executor" became popular. In the United States in particular, the wilderness executives, who were made up of a younger generation of druids and other biologists, environmentalists, and ecologists, were almost immediately offered a terrifying business: to solve the comprehensive ecological problems of the southern coastal areas of the United States caused by oil extraction, including coastal erosion, land subsidence, and so on. The initial research cost of this consulting business was as high as $2.5 billion. The Wilderness Executors are not only a new source of wealth, but also a more positive attitude for the druids to try to use their abilities to heal the world and make man and nature more one. And, let people realize that. (Full Text)
