Chapter 136: Advertising Effect

In order to expand this batch of production teams, Lin Qian specially called them all over and asked them what treatment they wanted besides money.

"President, we can do things under you, we ...... Very content, nothing else to ask for. Immediately someone came out to show their loyalty.

"Okay, I'll change the question. Lin Qian thought for a moment, "What do you think is more tempting than high money to attract others to join your team?"

"Name. An old magician stood up and said, he is a person who loves to study magic, although his age is only the level of a seventh-level magician, but he usually stays in the laboratory for a day, and he does not feel tired at all.

"Fame?" Although life is in the world, fame and fortune are two words, but for Lin Qian, the benefits are far more than fame.

"Yes," the old magician explained, knowing that this might be an opportunity for him to make a name for himself, "money can be earned slowly, but fame is not available to everyone. These magicians who choose to become mercenaries can quickly earn enough money for their own use, but they still keep taking risks, more often to make a name for themselves. Even if it is not known to everyone on the mainland, at least there will always be many magicians who will recognize you when you enter and exit the halls, and there will be many admirers on the street, which is better than staying in the laboratory all day without anyone knowing. ”

"Well, what do you mean by that?" Lin Qian listened to some truth and let him continue.

"Tree monument and statue, publish a book and biography, so that every contribution it makes is known, so that it is worthy of it......" The old magician suddenly fell silent, because he found that he was a little proud, which might cause Lin Qian's dissatisfaction.

"It's okay, you're right, I'm going to order someone to package you well now, and make sure that you will all be what people call skilled craftsmen. As soon as Lin Qian was reminded by him, he immediately thought of the advertisements on the earth, and then decided to put these magicians on the stage to have more opportunities to show his face.

Tonight's auction house is still full of people, and the magic mercenaries who have been busy all day are ready to spend a lot of money here. Lin Qian was sitting in the private room on the second floor at this time, watching with great interest as these mercenaries shouted with red faces, because every time they made a deal, the money they made would fall into Lin Qian's pocket.

Some of the low-level boosters were quickly sold out, but no one left, knowing that the next step was the main thing.

The older, magnetic auctioneer cleared his throat and said with a mysterious expression, "Before introducing this staff, I would like to introduce someone to all of you. ”

The auctioneer took in the puzzled expressions of all the mercenaries, and then slowly explained: "The advantages and disadvantages of the staff are not only the choice of materials, but also the efforts of the maker. I prefer to call them magicians rather than magicians and craftsmen. It is their ability to be both a mage and a craftsman that makes magical equipment and props a must-have adventure companion for our daily lives. But, magicians, when we go to battle with a staff in our hands, will we remember who made it?"

The mercenaries in the audience were silent, and they really didn't remember the owner of the magical equipment on them - they didn't know who the maker was.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the auctioneer did not wait for the mercenaries to ask, and said to himself: "As for why this magician was invited, in addition to letting everyone know about it, the more important thing is that no one knows the staff he made himself better than him. I think that by introducing it himself, everyone will know more about the value of this staff. Now, with a round of applause, let us invite the magician, Mr. Westerley. ”

"Wester, his staff is the one he made, and if it weren't for it, I'd have lost my life in the maws of the beast. Immediately, the "Tuo" arranged by Lin Qian began to publicize it, which made the mercenaries, who didn't know anything about this name, begin to have some expectations.

Dressed in a magical black robe, Westerley strode up to the stage, his usual beard, and a "glasses" made of crystal, an old pedant. He walked up to the staff's booth, waved to stop the applause, and began the formal introduction.

"Good evening, despicable Wester, who has been researching and crafting staves for over 30 years. The staff I brought to you this time was made by me in seven days, with the flame system eighth-level crystal nucleus as the core, and the whole body was made of crystal, with a total of 21 small magic arrays embedded in it, and 34 production procedures of the size and size, and it was several times of overdrawing spiritual power to complete the final fusion, which can be said to have condensed the painstaking efforts. During the production process, in order not to destroy the energy in the crystal nucleus, I also invited two ninth-level magicians to help, and only then did I gather everyone's strength to complete the work. If there is a fire mage who likes it, please use it well and be sure to treat it well. ”

After Westerly finished speaking, he stared at the staff with tears in his eyes, full of pride in this staff, and seemed to be a little reluctant. The mercenaries below immediately cast admiring glances at the old gentleman, and at the same time looked forward to this staff even more.

"Well acted. Lin Qiandu couldn't help but give a thumbs up, he didn't expect this guy to be no less than the so-called stars in the film and television industry.

Westerley went on to explain the benefits of the staff, including many of its hidden practical features, which made the mercenaries eager to take a picture of it with all their assets.

Eventually, Westrie stepped down and the auctioneer returned to the stage and began bidding.

"Since this is Westerley's first time meeting with everyone, we have decided to start bidding at half the reserve price - 200 gold!"

Halving?200 gold coins?Most of the mercenaries were stunned. Although this staff is only suitable for fire magicians, the eighth-level crystal nucleus embedded in it is enough to release a complete eighth-level fire-based magic, plus a variety of small magic arrays, it is not surprising that it is sold for a high price of 1,000 gold coins, and this price will be halved to 200 gold coins.

The situation in the audience was taken for granted, and the price shouted everywhere for a while, and the price soared from 200 gold coins to more than 700 gold coins.

The auctioneer was not in a hurry to drop the hammer, but waited patiently for the shouts to cease until the shouts of 1,200 gold coins came out, and everyone was dejected and ready for the next piece.

However, just as the mercenary came to the stage and was about to pay for the things, the auctioneer gently stopped him: "Please wait a minute, this magician, Mr. Westray is very worried that there is no one to inherit his ability, so he has made a special decision - if you are willing to be his apprentice, you can give him this staff without any charge." ”

"What?" Not only was the magician stunned, but everyone in the audience was stunned as well. Is this pie in the sky? Learn to make a staff from such a "powerful" teacher for free, and you can also get a staff of 1200 gold coins, how can there be such a good thing?

"I do! I want to be his apprentice!" shouted the magician on the stage, regardless of his image.

"Alright, grab your staff, and follow me to Mr. Westerley. The auctioneer ignored the commotion of the crowd and took this "lucky person" into the backstage.

Everyone in the audience regretted not slapping the staff with their hands in pain, and watched this "free" staff fall to others. In fact, how did they know that this "lucky person" was just another "trust" arranged by Lin Qian, and the final money and staff were still in Lin Qian's hands.

However, after this incident, Westerley's reputation was completely launched. Some focused on his prowess, others on his generosity to his students, and more on his relationship with the Magic Guild. It is said that he is just a staff member of the guild, and even if he makes a staff by himself, the ownership belongs to the entire magic guild, and he has no right to dispose of it. But judging from the scene, the Magic Guild obviously acquiesced to this situation, could it be that after having a certain amount of technology, they can "be proud of their talents", and even be able to compete for a lot of voice in the guild? This is probably the most concerned question for those magicians who want to learn how to make wands from Wester.

In the next few days, Lin Qian used other forms of publicity to publicize all the magicians in his guild, and later many people expressed their willingness to learn from them, which made Lin Qian deeply feel the importance of advertising packaging.

Although in the short term, those "apprentices" may not be able to help in making magic props, but after a long time, they can always help the teacher do something, and even later can completely go out and complete the production independently.

After a whole month, the guild was finally built, and all the shops around it were completed, just waiting for the "investment". However, Lin Qian, who was sitting in the top office at the moment, had to face a problem of "human nature" and "interests".

Here's the thing. The more the mercenaries explored deeper into the forest, the more dangers they encountered, and even many casualties occurred. It is said that this is also common sense, but from the traces at the scene, it can be seen that they were probably killed by their "teammates", because many traces of magic were found on the corpses, and at the same time, they could not find any money and crystal nuclei on them.

If these mercenaries are not managed well, I am afraid that they will not want to explore the deeper dangers, but choose to attack other mercenaries to obtain a lot of money and crystal nuclei.

Although Lin Qian ordered people to investigate and deal with several mercenaries who killed people and sold goods, and strictly forbade all mercenaries to use other people's mercenary cards to go to the vault to impersonate money, once the matter spread, the impact was very bad. These mercenaries are already facing all kinds of dangers, and now they have to guard against other mercenaries who seem to be friendly, which makes them dare to continue to explore.

Human nature is evil, especially in the face of huge interests, which Lin Qian took into account when he founded the office, so he used interests to attract these magicians to do something that was not evil to others, such as escorting caravans, killing beasts, and the like. Mercenaries benefit from what they can do and naturally don't do evil, but when exploring the forest becomes a danger, it's much easier to turn their attention to their own kind.
