I have to say that it is precisely because Yi Xingchen chose these three that it can be said to be one of the best universities in Blue Mercury Huaguo, so Xinghua Island has indeed spent a lot of effort, after all, the opportunity to cooperate with famous universities is rare.

Therefore, in order to ensure that this matter goes smoothly, Xinghua Island even dispatched the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Education at the same time to negotiate and coordinate with these three famous schools.

Fortunately, Yi Xingchen took a fancy to these three famous schools, and these three famous schools also gave the same attitude. Soon, there was a response from the Chinese side.

Not only that, but the response of these three universities made Yi Xingchen even more happy - these three universities sincerely expressed their willingness to establish a cooperative relationship with Xinghua Island Comprehensive College for exchange students, and what Yi Xingchen did not expect was that these universities even further proposed a detailed cooperation rule for the two sides to cooperate more closely.

The cooperation is based on the hope that the number of exchange students arranged by both parties will be more at each time, and that the exchange can be carried out every two years.

This detailed rule was an unexpected gain for Yi Xingchen, so Yi Xingchen almost immediately wanted to give a positive answer.

However, just as Yi Xingchen was about to agree, Yan En suddenly stopped Yi Xingchen and reminded Yi Xingchen in time: "Your Majesty, we don't have so many students to arrange an exchange. ”

Immediately, Yan En reported to Yi Xingchen the overall student situation of Xinghua Island Comprehensive College. At this time, Yi Xingchen realized that with the current number of students in Xinghua Island Comprehensive College, especially the number of students who are eligible to become exchange students, it is indeed not enough to be satisfied with the total number of exchange students proposed by the three universities.

Because, combined with the requirements put forward by these three universities, the total number of students has reached 100, and Xinghua Island Comprehensive College has not been able to meet this condition so far.

Therefore, if Yi Xingchen really agrees to the terms of this cooperation clause, two more difficult problems will immediately arise - first, Xinghua Island Comprehensive College cannot provide a sufficient number of qualified students, and second, Xinghua Island Comprehensive College is not prepared enough to accept this exchange student from Baihua Country.

Yi Xingchen couldn't help frowning. After thinking about it for a while, Yi Xingchen gradually had a solution in his heart, so he first confirmed to Yan En: "Judging from the current situation, how many people can we exchange?

"There are now sixteen Imperial exchange students who can be determined, of which five are alchemist apprentices interested in physics and chemistry, and eleven are Imperial quasi-officials who need to study economics and management. The choice of these specific corresponding disciplines is based on their personal wishes and the objective needs of their functions, and is tentatively determined, and the specific needs to be made by His Majesty to make the final conclusion. Yan En replied.

According to this news, Yi Xingchen once again secretly analyzed in his mind.

If the number of exchange students is finally determined to be 16, it means that the number of exchange students sent by the Chinese side will also be 16, which can indeed temporarily relieve the pressure of Xinghua Island Comprehensive College to accept Chinese exchange students, and there is no need to consider how to solve the corresponding problems such as accommodation and academic arrangements for 100 people proposed by Huaguo. This is relatively advantageous, and the disadvantage, of course, is that the scale of cooperation between Xinghua Island Comprehensive College and famous universities in China will be affected.

Of course, the closeness of cooperation can also be strengthened with the gradual improvement of objective conditions in the future, and the acceptance of more exchange students.

Therefore, what Yi Xingchen needs to consider is how to arrange these sixteen majors and schools respectively after determining that these sixteen people are the first batch of exchange students.

Yi Xingchen thought for a while, and finally made a decision, saying, "Determine the quota of these sixteen exchange students." Of the five alchemy apprentices, three went to Qinghua University, one went to Fudan University, and one went to Jingcheng University. The remaining eleven imperial officials were scattered to three universities. ”

Yan En responded: "Yes, Your Majesty." Subsequently, Yan En recorded the main points in Yi Xingchen's words one by one, and immediately began to make relevant arrangements.

When Yan En instructed the matter of the exchange students and returned again, Yi Xingchen turned his attention to the issue of preparing for the gathering of spirit array cards.

Yi Xingchen said to Yan En: "Take a spirit gathering array card and send it to Arthur, so that he can experience the spirit gathering effect of the spirit gathering array card." ”

The reason why Yi Xingchen has such an idea is because, at the moment, Arthur is obviously the best person to act as his "test subject".

First, Arthur is a loyal supporter of Xinghua Mall, and he is now also a magician, after he has experienced the effect of the Gathering Spirit Array card, Arthur will definitely understand more intuitively, how important the Spirit Gathering Array card is to his magic cultivation, and he will definitely be willing to do his best to promote the magic of the latest product Gathering Spirit Array card for Xinghua Mall, with the help of Arthur's social status and fame, he can naturally let the world know the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array card as quickly as possible;

Second, with Arthur's financial resources and influence, as long as Arthur approves the Spirit Gathering Array card, Yi Xingchen will ask him to cooperate and help hold the market price, which is just a matter of effort.

Yan En received the order and went to contact Arthur. After a while, Yan En quickly returned, and brought back Arthur's affirmative reply: Arthur agreed to Yi Xingchen's request, and after he experienced the effect of the Spirit Gathering Array card, he would definitely help to make a trust when the Spirit Gathering Array card was launched and auctioned in Xinghua Mall.

When Yan En relayed Arthur's reply to the end, Yi Xingchen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, because Arthur also attached a condition, that is, as long as he completed this task, Xinghua Mall would sell him a Spirit Gathering Array card at the reserve price. This is indeed Arthur's style of acting, Yi Xingchen thought as he smiled.

Yi Xingchen nodded in agreement, and then instructed Yan En to open the first round of limited-time auction of Spirit Gathering Array cards.

As usual, the slightest change in Xinghua Mall will quickly attract repercussions. At this time, Xinghua Mall has just launched the auction of the much-anticipated Spirit Gathering Array card, which immediately attracted many onlookers.

It's just that this time the reaction was a little different. It turned out that these onlookers who wanted to join the auction were stunned by the starting price of the Gathering Spirit Array card - it turned out to be a starting price of 5 million euros!

For a while, there was no more peace in this forum. I saw that the members of Xinghua Mall have posted and launched a heated discussion on this matter, although among them, there are still members who want to affirm the value of the Gathering Spirit Array card with an objective and fair attitude, but more are because of the high price and directly express their doubts in their hearts, and some of them also vent their dissatisfaction at the same time.

"Such a Gathering Array card is worth five million euros?" was the opinion of the bewildered members. Such a high price is indeed unprecedented, and it will inevitably arouse suspicion about this commodity.

"You must not have read the announcement carefully, but the Spirit Gathering Array card has the effect of increasing lifespan. ”

"I have money, but I don't want to be wronged. Do you believe the above description! Life expectancy, I don't know what my lifespan is, and I don't know if I was deceived when I bought it. ”

"Upstairs, you're a newcomer, right?

"Haha, what I value most is cheats!"

"I want to be a magician too. ”

"It is said that magicians need qualifications, and you may not be able to become a magician if you buy them...... You can't tell if it's real or fake. ”

Just as everyone was immersed in heated discussions, at least hundreds of posts were posted in a short period of time, but suddenly someone opened a new post and posted a screenshot.

"Look, this is a member of Xinghua Mall, Duke Arthur, and he also appeals to everyone not to be deceived. ”

"I think it's also the case, don't buy the array cards lightly, lest you suffer a loss and buy things that you don't need. These were the words of Duke Arthur in reply to a post.

Suddenly, everyone was talking again.

"Duke Arthur is a true nobleman of the Miqi Country, he must not be lying!

"Agree with the point from upstairs!"

"This is Duke Arthur warning us!"

……

Xinghua Island Hotel, in the VIP suite, Arthur faced the computer and laughed, "These people are really easy to be deceived! They don't buy it, I can buy it!"

"My lord, aren't you worried about accidents? If you say you won't buy it on one side, but auction it on the other side, it will affect your reputation. Arthur's butler said from the side.

"The reputation of the nobility is not the most important thing! the most important thing is strength!" Arthur smiled and continued: "When everyone hesitates, everyone must be surprised when I suddenly make a move. Surprised, they must have thought that I must have some inside story, and when the time comes, they will think that this Gathering Array card is real and worth no less than five million euros...... I lost my reputation, but I made friends with Xinghua Mall, and I will definitely benefit a lot in the future. ”

Arthur's butler nodded, he only needed to give the master a reminder at the critical moment, as for what to decide in the end, that was the master's power.

The two ended their conversation, and Arthur once again turned his attention to the limited-time auction at Xinghua Mall.

According to the rules, the auction lasted for three hours, ending at midnight and the highest bidder was awarded the Gathering Array card.

On the webpage, the shooting of the Gathering Array cards has begun, and the countdown has begun.

However, five minutes have passed, and no one has taken a picture.

Arthur smiled and in the Bid option, click Bid.

When Duke Arthur bids for 5 million euros!, the usernames of the top five bidders will be automatically prompted on the page.

So, the next second Duke Arthur made his bid, his name appeared on the auction page.

After another five minutes, Arthur instructed one of his friends to open a post on the mall forum to expose Arthur's intentions.

The title of the post is long, but it's simple: "Don't be fooled, the Duke is fooling you!" Then, there is nothing in the post, only a screenshot indicating that Arthur has made a bid.

As soon as this post opened, it immediately caused heated discussions in Xinghua Mall.

"I didn't expect that Duke Arthur would be such a person, he did it on purpose. ”

"I just went to see it and it's true. I thought Arthur was an honest aristocrat. ”

"Have you ever seen an honest nobleman? Obviously, the Duke is playing tricks. ”

"The Duke must be determined to succeed, otherwise he would not have done such a despicable thing. ”

……

As a result of Arthur's contradictory rhetoric, many members began to think seriously about the role of the Gathering Array cards. It didn't take long for the second and third bidders to raise the price to six million euros.

At 10:23 p.m., a guest walked out of a guest room at the Xinghua Island Hotel.

The guest was a tourist named who held the nationality of the Mi Flag Country. Holney has been enjoying Xinghua Island for two days, and all his cousins are like normal tourists, and tomorrow will be his last day on Xinghua Island. However, no one knew that he was also a secret service agent of the American Intelligence Agency.

Holney is not a quick man, he never relies on his skills to do things, but on his intelligence, he is an intelligent agent. Every time he carries out a mission, he has to develop a series of action plans to ensure that the task does not go wrong.

Tonight, Holney is on a mission. This mission is also the only one he has to Xinghua Island.

According to intelligence from the U.S. Intelligence Agency, there is a huge underground warehouse on Xinghua Island. Under the underground warehouse, there is also a secret warehouse, and what scene is below, the American Intelligence Agency has not found out. Holney's task is to investigate the underground warehouse and confirm whether the underground of Xinghua Island is a scientific and technological research institute.

Over the course of two days, Holney developed a plan for his investigation. The main content of this plan is to infiltrate the underground warehouse, one is to investigate the reality of the underground warehouse, and the other is to install spy equipment in the hidden place of the underground warehouse to monitor the underground warehouse.

Holney leaves the Hinghua Island Hotel and heads to a clothing store on the high street. This clothing store is not owned by the American Intelligence Agency. However, the money from the apparel store's investors came from the United States. Thus, the fact that the American Intelligence Agency had no relationship with the clothing store did not prevent them from arranging for agents to infiltrate the clothing store. The Intelligence Bureau used clothing stores to transport some spy equipment to Xinghua Island. Some of the spy gear that Holney needs, which needs to be picked up at this clothing store.

Holney walked to the door of the clothing store and showed his face at the door.

After a while, a clerk took a black garbage bag and discarded it at the door.

and the other clerks left the door, immediately stepped forward, picked up the garbage bag, and walked into a public toilet. Holney then took refuge in a private room and inspected the garbage patch. He got his hands on a new set of button monitors, which contained a total of twenty-four independently operating button monitors. In addition to the button monitor, there is also a set of Xinghua Island police uniforms. (To be continued.) )
