Chapter 17: The God Operator
Frando waited for the four of them to sit down, rested for a moment, and then began to report. The first phase of the Chinese training class had about 31 people, all of whom were sent by various commercial houses, basically the person in charge of East-West trade, while the English training course only had nine people, and they were all small businessmen engaged in East-West trade, and the big commercial houses did not sign up without exception.
It is not difficult to understand that in the eyes of those big trading houses in Dongxuan, the east-west trade is a business that the Xiqi people have to ask for the Dongxuan people, and the Dongxuan people have always prided themselves on orthodoxy, where there is their own reason to learn English to cooperate with each other, it is natural for the Xiqi people to learn Chinese.
On the contrary, the local small merchants in Xijiang City are more willing to learn English in order to share greater benefits in the East-West trade. The big trading houses have very stable channels in Dongxuan, but the small merchants don't have so many connections, and trying their best to win more in the east-west trade in Xijiang City is one of the few ways for them to make profits.
Even so, the Xiqi people are more willing to cooperate with large commercial banks, after all, there is a huge gap in resources and strength between large and small commercial banks.
Regarding the cost setting of the training class, Frando proposed three grades: 100,000, 500,000, and 1 million spirit stones, and the second phase may be considered to be adjusted again, and these prices made Li Tian's whole body tremble three times.
Because he didn't really know much about prices and market conditions, Frando was obviously more specialized in this area. He estimated that the tuition should basically be spent on those boxes, but he didn't know how much money was spent on the decoration.
Li Tian had a feeling that he would have to work for the Anges family for the rest of his life to pay off the money.
Hundreds of millions of spirit stones are smashed into it, as long as thirty percent of the shares are shared, what is Evelyn's plan, is it really to repay the favor of the 100 spirit stones in the original spirit fruit shop? And looking at her expression, she seems to be quite happy......
Li Tian looked at himself, the NPC named Li Zhiyi he possessed, although his appearance was indeed good, it didn't seem to be worth so many hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
After thinking about it for a long time, there is no answer, it can only be attributed to the great business of the Anges family, it is not rare to have this little money, their own dripping grace, they not only plan to repay the spring, this is to repay it with the Pacific Ocean, and the great kindness can drown Li Tian in the water.
Under the leadership of Frando, the four of them simply went through the process of the opening ceremony, roughly as the largest investor in the training course, the eldest lady of the Anges family, Evelyn, made a speech first, and then as the principal of the training course, Li Tian introduced the course setting and teaching content of the training course, and then invited two mysterious lecturers to meet with the students, and finally a confidentiality contract was signed, and any learning content in the lecture hall must not be passed on, otherwise it will receive cordial greetings from the Anges family.
The confidentiality contract was proposed by Evelyn, but Li Tian did not consider the problem in advance, after all, these textbooks, dictionaries and dictionaries he burned can be said to be unique materials in this world.
The huge cultural differences make it difficult to overcome the barriers in the language exchange between the East and the West, even though the learning and comprehension ability of these cultivators, magicians, and knights is extraordinary, but the main force of the communication task, the merchants, most of them are not in a high realm, and there are difficulties in understanding each other's culture, so in just two years, the exchange between the two sides has not made much progress.
Textbooks like Li Tian, which can be studied systematically, as well as the Xinhua dictionary and the fourth- and sixth-grade vocabulary books with epoch-making guiding significance, are obviously of great value.
Maybe Li Tian in the past would never have thought that the reference books and textbooks he had been using and that almost every family had would one day become a rare masterpiece in another world.
The group walked through the corridor of the main hall of the lounge, which led directly to the underground in the center of the lecture hall, where a huge circular platform was arranged, relying on the hundreds of wind magic stones below, as long as the wind magician controlled, the entire platform could be easily lifted, along the beautifully carved pillar in the center of the podium, to the top of the podium.
Yes, for such an elevator-like thing, Frando also equipped a good-looking middle-level female magician as a manipulator, which can be said to be extremely extravagant.
The five people stood on the platform, and the magician on the side waved the wand in his hand, and the platform began to rise smoothly because of the existence of the wind system magic stone, the magician did not need to spend a lot of energy, just control the speed and balance.
In about a minute, they came to the lectern, and the floating platform under their feet was tightly integrated with the lectern under the operation of the magician to ensure safety.
The entire lecture platform area is not particularly large, standing in the center can ensure that all the students in the box can see the teacher, although it is quite far away from the box, but for this world where everyone cultivates, it is obviously within the range of the eye.
It's just that despite the installation of a beautifully carved fence, Li Tian still felt a little trembling, and didn't even dare to take a step towards the fence, standing in the center of the platform with a pale face, not leaving an inch.
Evelyn obviously noticed that something was wrong with Li Tian's complexion, and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Li, you look a little uncomfortable." ”
Li Tian shook his head stiffly, "No...... It's okay, I just have ...... A bit afraid of heights. ”
Afraid of heights? Evelyn obviously couldn't understand what Li Tian meant by fear of heights, in her eyes, Dongxuan's cultivators, if they cultivate more deeply, they can fly to the sky and do anything, and flying at high altitudes is even more commonplace, Evelyn naturally can't imagine that Li Tian in front of her will be afraid to stand on a high place.
"Yes...... If you can, we'...... Let's go down, I've seen it anyway...... When is the opening ceremony scheduled for the opening ceremony? Li Tian's body couldn't stop trembling, which made the eyes of the other five people present, including the wind magician, a little strange.
"The day after tomorrow, Mr. Li Zhiyi." Although Frando felt strange in his heart about Li Tian's current appearance, he still knew how to show it.
"That'...... Let's go down first, I think...... It's almost all confirmed. ”
It was Evelyn who glanced at the young lady magician on the side most intimately, and motioned for her to activate the floating platform, and the others also stood up. The magician waved his wand again, and began to chant, and the platform shook slightly, and then began to sink slowly.
As the group completely entered the pillar, Li Tian's mood finally calmed down, and he gasped, Frando and the little sister magician naturally didn't show anything, and the second senior sister also had a single expression, but the expressions of Hersher and Evelyn were a little strange.
"Li, when you say fear of heights, do you mean being afraid of standing on a high place?" Naturally, Herser didn't ask her thoughts, but Evelyn asked curiously.
"Yes, I've been ...... since I was a kid Not very well, adapted to high altitudes. Li Tian recalled many of his experiences when he was a child, he went to Zhangjiajie with his family to play in the fourth grade, and sat on the Bailong Ladder with the tour group, at first he thought that he could get to the top of the mountain without climbing the mountain, and he was very excited, who knew that the elevator became a sightseeing elevator when he was halfway through, and through the glass outside, the mountains and streams under his feet entered the bottom of the eye, but Xiao Li Tian was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery at all, crying and going to drill from near the glass to the elevator door.
He's really afraid of heights, and the highest level is probably four or five floors.
With a snort, Evelyn and Heather couldn't help laughing, looking like they tried to restrain but still couldn't hold back, which made Li Tian quite shocked.
"Fear of heights...... That's it, is it so funny? ”
"But aren't all of you Dongxuan people supposed to be able to fly with a sword and gallop in the blue sky?" Evelyn asked with a smile.
"This ...... This is the stereotype you Siqi people have of us! There is a senior surnamed Song who is not like me, he still puts guardrails on flying swords. Li Tian retorted indignantly, but his rhetoric seemed a little weak.
"Yes, Mr. Li Zhiyi, you are right." Evelyn teased.
Mr. Li Zhiyi...... Evelyn's words seemed to suddenly remind Li Tian of something.
At this moment, he is afraid of heights, is it because he is afraid of heights, or Li Zhiyi is afraid of heights. According to Li Zhiyi's memory, there is no such thing as fear of heights.
Maybe it's because fear of heights is a psychological problem, so I brought it by myself? Li Tian thought about it, it should be this reason.
In fact, there is nothing particularly important to worry about this question, after all, Li Tian is afraid of heights and Li Zhiyi is not afraid of heights, obviously he is afraid of heights because of Li Tian, but this also makes Li Tian think deeper, what are Li Zhiyi's characteristics and which are his own?
Caught in a very philosophical question like "who am I?", he couldn't extricate himself, but the magic elevator that had been about a minute or so soon arrived, interrupting Li Tian's thoughts.
…………
…………
After confirming the process of the opening ceremony, Frando sent the group away. still went out through the passage when he came, and this trip to the lecture hall gave Li Tian a new understanding of the word rich man.
Walking outside the door, the two carriages had been waiting for a long time, Evelyn and Hesher held hands and waited for the one in front, while Li Tian and Song Zhiyi walked to the back.
The groom opened a corner of the curtain of the carriage to facilitate the two of them to get on the car, Li Tian motioned for the senior sister to go up first, and Song Zhiyi was not polite and stepped up.
Li Tian was about to get into the car, but he was suddenly dragged by his robe and stopped his movements.
Looking back, I saw a young man in a Taoist robe with a handsome face, neatly dressed, holding a banner in his hand, and eight crooked characters on it - "Heaven and Earth Conscience, Cheap Fortune Telling".
"Brother Tai, I see that your Yintang is black, I'm afraid there is a big omen, do you think you should let me count a hexagram for you, so as to avoid evil." The young man shook his head and said it in a serious way, just like the charlatans Li Tian had seen before, but he was more handsome.
"Not necessarily." Li Tian was too lazy to talk nonsense, and turned around to wait for the car to leave.
"Hey, little brother, don't worry, listen to me, I think you will change your mind." This charlatan did not give up, and grabbed Li Tian's clothes and refused to let him go.
"Okay, then you say." Li Tian's temper was still very good, and he was not obstructed by the other party three times or twice, but wanted to see what tricks this young man in Taoist robe could play.
The young man in the robe approached Li Tian's ear and whispered, Li Tian's face changed in an instant, he nodded at the young man in the robe, turned around and greeted Song Zhiyi and asked her to go back in the car first, Senior Sister Song hesitated for a moment and nodded.
He went to say hello to Evelyn again, and casually made an excuse that he had something to attend to, but Evelyn didn't ask too much, and the two carriages departed.
When the carriage disappeared from sight, Li Tian glanced at Frando, and the other party also understood how to return to the lecture hall.
"There's no one now, so tell me, who the hell are you?" Li Tian's gaze was extremely sharp at this time, and the young man in the robe was also a little hairy.
Wan Jing casually threw it to the ground, looking very indifferent, the young man in the Taoist robe clasped his fists with both hands and said, "Chen Yuanran, the operator of the lower gods, if it is convenient for Li Gongzi, we might as well find a teahouse to talk about." ”
Li Tian was silent for a moment and nodded.
