Chapter 345: A Business Wizard Delayed by Magic
In order to avoid more people from participating in the magic auction, and also to have one more way to earn gold coins, An Baichen and Ada decided after discussion.
Each ticket to the auction costs 100,000 gold coins!
The price of a ticket to the box is 1 million gold coins per ticket!
In addition, An Baichen also made a decision to sell standing tickets! All the noble retinue and participants who did not have too many gold coins could buy a standing ticket for 50,000 gold coins!
In addition, An Baichen also told Ada to rent the right to use the square in the City of Thorns for a day for gold coins.
Then set up a giant projection magic in the square to show everything from the auction in real time!
Anyone who wants to enter the square to see the projection magic will have to ask for ten gold coins from Ghana!
"Your Excellency, I don't think you should be a Grim Reaper. ”
Ida said to An Baichen seriously: "You should be the god of commerce!
"I think so too. ”
An Baichen nodded matter-of-fact and said, "When I have a chance to turn around, I will go and snatch the godhead of the god of commerce." ”
"That's great, I'll be your most loyal believer!"
"Don't worry, when the time comes, you can choose the position of the goddess and the pope. But now, you've got to get my hands done. ”
"Don't worry, Lord Death!"
Ada is full of confidence, Lord Death has already told her many tricks that can make money, originally Ada just wanted to make a small auction to make a sum of money, but she didn't expect that Lord Reaper was really smart, and he could actually think of using a magic auction as a gimmick to earn gold coins for the extended industry.
"Father!"
Ada immediately found the Duke, who was still preparing a security plan.
His Majesty is about to come to the magic auction, and the defenses of the city of Thorn Flower must be reorganized and the safety factor increased by several steps.
Coupled with the formation of the Acropolis, a bunch of troublesome things pestered the Duke, so that he couldn't spare time to accompany Ada.
"What's the matter, Ada, what's the matter?"
The Duke felt a little guilty about Ada, he always felt that he had spent too little time with Ada, and as a child of a single-parent family, she lacked too many things that her peers could enjoy.
"Father, I have an idea!"
"What thoughts?"
"Didn't you tell me some time ago that there is still a big gap in the gold coins for building the Acropolis, and His Majesty doesn't seem to approve of the continued allocation of gold coins for you to build the Acropolis?"
"Yes, so I intend to persuade His Majesty during this time. ”
The duke readily admitted that Ada was very smart and had his own unique opinions on many things, which was also very gratifying to the duke, and he would not hide some things that were not very confidential from Ada.
"Ah, I see. ”
Ada suddenly realized: "It turns out that my father wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with His Majesty, not just to support me to hold a magic auction." ”
"You can think so. ”
The duke smiled, he definitely had to put his work first, after all, he was the lord of the city, a duke.
"Father is so bad. ”
Ida sighed, but quickly said with a grin, "But I still want to give my father a chance to make money." ”
"What chance?"
"Isn't my father worried about the shortage of gold coins for the construction of the Acropolis, and if His Majesty the King refuses your proposal, the construction of the Acropolis will be delayed, right?"
"Alas. ”
The Duke sighed and remained silent for a long time.
"Don't worry, father. ”
Ida said proudly, "I have a way to get my father to earn enough gold to cover the gap in the construction of the Acropolis. ”
"What a way!"
The duke looked at Ada, a little surprised, could it be that Ida really had a way?
"In the name of the Wilson Chamber of Commerce, I ask Lord Duke to rent me the large square in the Thorn Flower City for my use! In addition, I need more spacious places! such as the Magician Practice Square! The Magic Soldier Barracks! The Thorn Flower Magic Academy and other buildings are leased!"
"I need to rent these places during the magic auction, and of course I will give my father a large amount of gold coins, enough to meet the remaining gold coins needed to build the Acropolis!"
"What do you want to do?"
The Duke looked at Ada, his brows furrowed, many of the places Ida mentioned were important places in the City of Thorn Flowers.
For example, the Magical Soldier Barracks, although when His Majesty the King comes, all the Magical Soldiers will be sent to patrol the city and beyond. No magic soldiers will remain in the barracks during this time, and all soldiers will have their own tasks.
The barracks were largely vacant, but the Duke thought it was better to find out what Ida was doing before agreeing to her.
"Of course it won't be a bad thing!"
Ada said as a matter of course: "His Majesty has finally come to the City of Thorn Flowers, and the citizens must be very eager to see His Majesty, but not everyone can go to the magic auction. ”
"This magic auction is very significant, it represents the first official exchange between the two worlds, and I think everyone should witness this historic moment. ”
"So I need to release the projection magic in these spacious places, so that as many citizens and magic apprentices as possible can see this historic moment and watch the process of the magic auction in person!"
Ida paused and said with a smile: "Of course, I will appropriately collect some gold coins as tickets as compensation, and I promise that half of the income from renting the venue will be given to the Duke as an aid fund for the construction of the Acropolis!"
"Who taught you this?"
The Duke gave Ada a deep look: "Is it His Excellency the Grim Reaper?"
"No, I thought of it myself!"
Ida resolutely refused to admit that she didn't want to be a traitor and couldn't betray An Baichen to death.
"Father, this is not a violation of the rules, and it will solve your troubles, can you promise me?"
"You have convinced me that I can promise you that there will be no threat to His Majesty's safety. ”
"Thank you, Father!"
Ida managed to convince the Duke, and over the next few days, she summoned Wilson's Magic Chamber of Commerce to negotiate with the city's major magic chambers.
Ada's approach to contact surprised several large magic chambers of commerce, they had long had the idea of cooperating with Wilson's magic chamber of commerce, and everyone could see where the business opportunities were this time.
This magic auction is destined to be attended by many nobles and wealthy people, and the prices of the items to be auctioned will definitely be far beyond the ordinary auction.
Moreover, the arrival of His Majesty the King means that this magic auction will be a rare opportunity for political gatherings, and a good opportunity to improve your political capital!
However, the focus of the major magic chambers of commerce was on the magic auction itself, and they asked Ada to give each magic chamber some tickets, and allowed them to select some suitable items to put in the magic chamber of commerce for auction.
Ida naturally agreed to this, and in exchange, she asked the major magic chambers of commerce to cooperate with her in some business activities outside of magic auctions.
"Given that this magic auction was held because Lord Reaper agreed to sell the Reaper artifact, it shows that this time the city's hot spot is on Lord Reaper and the world of the dead. ”
"At the same time, as the first city in the Thorn Flower City to allow the undead to exist freely, I need the magic factories of the major magic chambers of commerce to cooperate with me to create a batch of items. ”
"These items are not difficult to manufacture, they are all very small magic items, including but not limited to [Magic Auction Ticket Commemorative Set Gift Box], [Doll Set of Dead at All Levels], [Commemorative Edition Special Undead Replica Coins], [Exclusive Small Sculpture of His Excellency Reaper], [Twelve Pieces of Death Artifact Special Model] ......"
Ida opened her mouth and reported a long list of names, and after Ada's introduction, everyone was able to understand her thoughts.
Ada wanted to create something similar to the magic knick-knuckles often sold by street vendors, which looked inconspicuous and were usually only purchased as souvenirs by magic apprentices and children.
Although Ida asked for a lot of manufacturing, the major magic chambers of commerce didn't think too much about it and agreed to it.
Anyway, it doesn't cost much to make these things, and as for whether they can sell them all, how much they can sell is not something they want to care about.
According to the secret analysis of the presidents of several magic chambers of commerce, they felt that it was already a lot of money for each doll and souvenir to sell for a few gold coins, and it couldn't add up to hundreds of thousands of gold coins, just some fragmentary interests, which were not worth caring about.
After the negotiation was completed, Ada left satisfied, of course, she also saw the disdain and contempt in the eyes of these magic merchants, and felt that she was a child after all, and her vision and pattern were limited.
"They never know how powerful these small commodities are, let alone how strong people's sense of belonging to the city is, and how crazy their purchasing power is in the event of a big event. ”
After Ida Castle, An Baichen couldn't help but sigh: "You have really changed, Ada, I don't seem to have told you this knowledge, how did you learn it?"
"Your Excellency, you forgot, you gave me a few books called economics a long time ago, and you also translated some of the cases and knowledge tips in them. ”
"You're a fast learner, you're such a business wizard delayed by magic. ”
"Thank you, Lord Death, for the compliment. ”
"Since you're so capable, I have to give you a little support. ”
An Baichen saw a greater business opportunity from the business activities operated by Ada, and Ida couldn't help but ask curiously, "What does His Excellency Death want to do?"
Ida felt that she had thought of it very well, and if this set of business combinations was punched, counting the profits brought by the magic auction itself, it was enough for Wilson to become a well-known magic chamber of commerce in one fell swoop!
And it will bring enough profit to Lord Reaper, and the gold earned can be used to buy more magic materials.
Seriously, Ada couldn't think of any other way to make money with this magic auction.
"You think the City of Thorn Flowers can be made into a city represented by the undead, right?"
An Baichen said meaningfully: "The first city in history to officially accept and open the undead, and the city that allows the undead to exist!"
"If you do it well, the City of Thorn Flower will become the second city of the dead, the city of the dead in another sense. ”
An Baichen's words made Ida sound confused, and she couldn't understand what His Excellency Death had come up with.
But anyway, it's certainly a particularly insidious idea!
Because Lord Death is such a sinister god.
