Chapter 67: Goblin Mentor
As soon as the topic of the black dragon was discussed, the door of the office belonging to Charlie in the city hall was slammed.
'Knock Knock'
"Please come in."
I saw Antanaron walking in with the black dragon, followed by the green dragon with a flattering smile on his face.
Since Panosis was recovered, he has become more and more self-conscious, and this is really ruining the handsome elf appearance.
However, Charlie's gaze quickly shifted to the black dragon.
"Blackie! Come~"
The black dragon was very elegant, and it wasn't until Antanaron brought him to Charlie that he returned to Charlie's shoulder like a proud black cat, looking like a pampered shovel officer.
Charlie, who really raised the black dragon cub as a pet cat, smiled and wanted to rub the little black cute little head.
Because Antanaron and the green dragon are still watching.
A certain person also had to take care of his own image, so he avoided it coldly.
Charlie was not reluctant either, and the focus returned to the problems that Harpy encountered.
"Actually, it's a miracle that goblins can monopolize such a lucrative business for so long."
No matter what the world is, there is no shortage of smart people.
The huge profits earned by the goblins have long been seen by these people.
In fact, in some other corners of the world, newspapers and publications imitating the Goblin Publications are already on sale.
However, due to limitations, no one can achieve the level of a goblin.
Therefore, the publications they set up are basically equivalent to "XXX Town News Today", or "XX Village Interesting Facts".
Even the names of these publications are inspired by goblin publications.
In the face of such an unworthy opponent, the goblins naturally did not care.
To this day, Harpy is still sobbing and choking.
This shows the magnitude of the losses suffered by the goblins.
These little green-skinned things who are hated by various races, the only motivation for 'Jingsheng' is to make money, to be the most profitable race in the world, right?
"How much have you lost?" Charlie has to estimate the market share of the other party based on the data.
"Hiccup...... Single-day and single-day sales have been cut in half. Harpy said with a hiccup.
Even if he was mentally prepared, Charlie was still shocked by this number.
"The numbers you are talking about, are they just from the Platinum Empire, or is it the whole world?!" Charlie was a little stunned.
She had been on vacation to Kansan for a few weeks, but not for a few years!
To be able to cut half of the goblin market share in a short period of time, the energy required is not ordinary.
Let's talk about the way goblins sell newspapers.
The general public is lined up to buy in the Goblin Chamber of Commerce in the town.
VIP customers are personally delivered to the door by goblins.
However, the prerequisite for ensuring such a situation is that the number of goblins is extremely large, and the goblins that occupy 90% of the dungeon world can 'occupy the world' by relying on the number of 'goblins'.
But this "New World", how did it achieve this achievement in such a short period of time?
'Knock knock knock ......'
The magic clock in Charlie's room rang, and as the clock rang, Harpy subconsciously shivered, looking like 'post-traumatic sequelae'.
"They're coming, they're coming again...... No! No......! ”
Charlie frowned slightly, completely unaware of what the stimulated goblin was talking about.
However, Nao, who already had experience, walked up to the largest window in the room.
He pushed the window open, and saw a flock of migratory birds flying towards it in the afterglow of the setting sun.
And after arriving in the sky above the ideal township, they are like dandelions flying apart.
Charlie's eyes widened as he watched.
I almost thought a flock of stupid birds were coming to attack the ideal village!
A black crow landed on Charlie's window.
This crow is half an arm's size, and if you count the wingspan, it is not inferior to the Eagle Falcon category.
And, at this time, what made Charlie concerned was that the crow turned its head and began to comb its feathers.
After a few seconds, it plucked a feather from its body.
After the black crow feather leaves the crow's body, it becomes a flat and intact newspaper.
The crow gestured at Naobi, spreading the tips of his wings and pointing to the cloth pocket around his neck.
Nao skillfully delivered ten copper plates.
For some reason, Harpy cried even more as he watched Nao count out the ten copper plates.
After getting the money, the crow flew away.
I don't care at all about the 'Harpy Balloon' that is about to stare out in anger.
Nao placed the newly picked newspaper on Charlie's desk.
Look at the words "New World Journal".
Charlie kind of figured out the 'sales method' of this publication.
Fantastic!
It's a world full of magic!
Charlie quickly flipped through the contents of this newspaper today.
It is not difficult to see that the style of this newspaper still has a lot of shadows of goblins.
But, none of that is a big deal.
What made Charlie care was the headline on the second page of the newspaper.
Another Way to Interpret the Ideal Township Military Parade
Concerning himself, Charlie immediately read the article.
It's not the same as the goblins.
The expression of this new publication can simply be said to be the ideal hometown of 'directly pouring dirty water' on Charlie!
What sends a signal of malice to the gods.
Like a king, he will have rebellion in his heart.
……
It's all this kind of bullshit.
Charlie narrowed slightly.
It's not a matter of moving the cake.
Where did Diao Min come from?! Grab the right to speak for this girl!
I can't take it anymore!
The corners of Charlie's mouth rose slightly, and his fingers touched the plane ring, and he took out a small whiteboard and a charcoal strip from it.
She put Harpy down and smiled and stroked the top of Harpy's head.
"Come on, class!"
Charlie's goblin class begins again.
First, draw a large circle on the drawing with a charcoal pen.
"Have you ever eaten cake at a dinner party at the castle?"
Harpy, whose eyes were originally lit with a flame of hope, was stunned, and finally replied honestly, "...... No, Lord Black Dragon, never let us near its cake. ”
Charlie: "......"
Good teacher, not confined to subsections, she took a deep breath and continued:
"If Blackie is not there one day, I make a cake and serve it to the table.
Then, the newspaper business of the goblins in the past can be seen as this cake, which was all eaten by you goblins. ”
"The cake is like a market, and the one who eats it is the 'merchant' whose pocket the gold coins will end up with."
"So, it turns out that you have a monopoly on the market, and in the market, if you say that the price will be raised, the price will be raised, and if you say that the price will be reduced, the price will be reduced."
"There are no rules in the market, because the rules are you goblins."
"So now here's the problem."
As he spoke, Charlie split the 'cake' on the small whiteboard in two.
"This is also called the "New World" newspaper, which has robbed you of your business and divided your market share, and this kind of thing will always happen, either today or tomorrow."
Harpy: "...... Wow~~~~~~~~"
Harpy, who had finally stopped his tears, burst into tears again.
Charlie waited for him to howl enough, and then said: "So, the question now is not how to monopolize the market, but how to compete." ”
"And, in such competition, how can you grab back the market share little by little without hurting the fundamentals."
"Y-Do you have a solution?" Harpy easily fell to his knees and rubbed his knees back and forth, finally saving Charlie's calf as he wished.
Charlie: "......"
"Listen, the next time the publication is released, you will do ......"
……
Harpy got rid of the miserable look of dying and ran back to the Ideal Township branch of the Goblin United Chamber of Commerce in a hurry.
He can't wait to go to the headquarters and get back the advice from the great Charlie!
It's definitely a great idea!
It will allow them to pull back a round!
Seeing that Harpy had run away, Charlie put his attention back to the conference room.
Nao couldn't wait, ready to press her to the pile of papers on the hill to sign and review.
Charlie was a little stunned, so she suddenly remembered a few small things and interrupted Nao's movements in a serious manner.
She picked up the summoning magic bell and shook it for the first time, calling McGonagall.
It just so happened that McGonagall was enjoying the Dragonborn in the city today, and did not go out to sea to do his two favorite things.
An excited McGonagall walked in, looking like little Shota was bouncing around.
Now his body has grown again.
Unless he's catching sharks at sea, he's rarely transformed into a real person.
"Charlie, are you looking for anything from me?"
Charlie smiled gently, of course, in fact, this time, I brought back a 'surprise' for you.
Xiaolongniang is still in Kansang to say her final goodbye to her family.
After all, Kansang's location had been recorded, and Charlie casually opened the door and took the dragon back.
In that case, why not surprise McGonagall, and let Xiaolongniang get along with her relatives a little more.
Charlie stood up and opened the portal.
Probably the biggest reaction in the house was Nao.
He almost thought that this was another new way for His Excellency the City Lord to escape from government affairs.
But before the elf's bloodshot eyes froze, Charlie walked back by himself.
And beside her, followed by a brass dragon Xiaolongniang with a curious face.
"Hello everyone, my name is Jin Na, I am very happy to come to Ideal Township, we will be friends in the future!"
Brass dragons seem to be born with stage fright.
"McGonagall, would you mind giving me a tour of Kinna's Ideal Township?"
The Bronze Dragon's military nature gives McGonagall a sense of wanting to protect the weak.
After all, due to the construction of the wings, the Brass Dragon and the Bronze Dragon looked a size smaller than the Bronze Dragon.
There are also two worrying combat capabilities.
One is the strongest king, and the other is chased by the red dragon......
As the strongest bronze dragon among the bronze dragons, McGonagall has a sense of 'big brother covering little brother'.
McGonagall, who had clearly misunderstood something, walked over and patted Jinna's little Lori on the shoulder.
"Let's go! I'll take you shopping! ”
Charlie watched Xiao Zhengtai and Xiao Lori bouncing away together, not noticing the slightly upturned corners of the black dragon's mouth on his shoulder.
And Antanaron, who is paying attention to his highness all the time: "......"
Nao picked up a large stack of papers, looking at the posture, as if he was going to bury Charlie.
Frightened, Charlie rang the magic bell again with great speed.
This time, she summoned the warden and roared.
Nao was still smiling, but the papers in his hand were mercilessly placed on Charlie's desk with a dull 'bang'.
"In my spare time waiting for the warden to arrive, I would like you to sign this stack of papers."
Charlie: "......"
Of course, it is impossible to sign such a large stack, but if you don't work anymore, you feel that your own secretary general is going to go away every minute.
When it was time to follow his heart, Charlie never resisted.
The quill was dipped in ink, and the signatures were quickly left behind.
However, after reviewing and signing fifty documents, the ground vibrated like a 'recess bell'.
Waiting for the arrival of the warden.
Ahem, she's not looking for trouble, she's really serious!
No, there are still a group of prisoners of war in a space that has been converted into a cage!
received Charlie's roar in advance, and specially brought all his expanded subordinates over.
Because he had signed a document to recruit his own warden, Charlie was also curious about the newly recruited jailers.
The ornate gate, which is two and a half meters high, opens.
Even so, the warden had to bend down and squeeze in slightly sideways.
And behind him was a string of fierce and vicious 'monsters', which were his expanded subordinates.
Charlie's eyelids jumped when he saw it.
I feel that my own warden can't stop the scene!
After all, to this day, she still cries like a bear for this big man in front of her.
Charlie asked tactfully, "Are you personally recruiting these men, Mr. Warden?" ”
The roar reaction was still a little slow, and he raised his finger and scratched his head before saying, "That's right, they are all vegetarians and qualified." ”
Charlie: "......"
I don't know why, but suddenly looking at these guys with fangs or muscles all over their bodies, it's not so dangerous in an instant!
Straight to the point.
Charlie opens up the ectopic space that is used as a cage.
"Get them back."
Listening to Charlie's orders, the roaring subordinates rushed up.
In a short time, a group of extremely panicked captives were captured from the heterotopic space.
After enduring so much 'special care' from the giant dragon Longwei, this group of guys is estimated to be trembling like this for a week.
"They are involved in the attack and assassination of me, as well as collusion with the lower planes and summoning the Demon Marquis."
"It is not easy for someone to pull out such an elite force."
"Roar, please, help me find out the truth!"
Everything that needs to be taken care of has been taken care of.
All that's left is endless boring work.
Charlie felt as if he had been stripped of his muscles, lying on the desk and mechanically reviewing and signing the backlog of government affairs.
It's cool to skip work for a while, and work overtime in the crematorium......
……
The poor city lord, who had never adhered to the principle of not working overtime, was actually pressed by the crazy secretary general to work overtime at the city hall until 10 o'clock at night.
Moreover, this was not dealt with, and at eight o'clock the next morning, Nao was arrested and taken to the city hall to continue.
Charlie won't be allowed to work at White Castle.
Every time he works in White Castle, his work efficiency is low.
Your Excellency City Lord's work today is much faster than yesterday.
Just because, tonight, the White Castle will welcome a group of guests.
In this case, it means that Nao will not force her to work overtime at the city hall!
Finally, as the sun set, many 'overtime professionals' in the city hall today got off work on time today.
Because, they are going to the White Castle for an important dinner.
