408. Big business

Giving gifts before the sisters left away is a tradition that has emerged in the Bai Yi family in recent years, since the girls have grown up to be able to stand alone, Bai Yi no longer takes them on hikes, and leaves them to deal with by themselves, in case there are any more vicious incidents.

However, his thoughtful and well-prepared style of setting off and striving for foolproof was well learned by the students, so this tradition appeared.

It's just that Miya looked at the things sent by the sisters, more or less embarrassed, when the other sisters traveled far away, she always sent some desserts such as cookies, candy and cakes, and when it was her turn to go out, everyone sent the same, unlike this time, all the gifts were all such pragmatic things.

"Because this is the first time you've partnered with Mordred, in the past, we were all here, so I didn't worry too much, but now it's the turn of the two of you to go out, and everyone can't rest assured." Tisgaard tactfully voiced her worries.

There is another reason she didn't say, that is, Miya is currently a standard academic mage, taking the path of the vice president of scholars, under Bai Yiyi's careful care, not to mention the actual combat experience, it is indeed very little, and Mordred is the same, don't look at her tossing in the academy on weekdays, but she has never been able to meet any decent battles that allow her to really exercise.

"Sister Jiaer, this is not the first time I have traveled far away~" Although Miya is still very grateful for her sister's concern, she also feels that it is too trivial to make a big fuss, and the pocket scroll she gave herself is enough to support a local battle.

Miya had indeed traveled a few times before, but at that time she still went out as a lecturer, and with reliable powerhouses such as Mr. Sorry and Mr. Owl, she came over so smoothly all the way, and it was really the first time that it was her turn to lead the team by herself, not to mention that she was also following a Mordred.

What's more, the plane they went to this time called Ed is a small plane that was only discovered a few months ago, and it seems that there is no danger after preliminary exploration, and it is very suitable for being a testing ground for students, but it has not been explored deeply, and it is not sure if there will be any hidden risks, compared to several other trial planes that are about to be rotten, it is still relatively dangerous, and Bai Yi is also out of consideration for better tempering students, so he included this place in the selection list.

"In short, it's always right to prepare more, and our mentors have always taught us this way, and adequate preparation is the most powerful guarantee, isn't it?" Nota could probably understand Miya's thoughts and comforted her.

"Thank you, don't worry, I can take care of myself and my students." Mia smiled and replied.

"That's it, don't forget me!" Mordred also patted her small chest and said menacingly.

While the students practiced for Mia and Mordred, Bai Yi was accompanied by the warriors and the boring aristocrats, and most of the conversations were repeated, such as:

"Hopefully, Master, excuse me, may I introduce my nephew/niece/son/granddaughter? He/she has been looking forward to your academy and has decided to apply for this year's martial arts/magic/alchemy/bow and arrow department, can you take a look at him/her first? ”

Then there was a little guy standing in front of Bai Yi under the introduction of the elders, and he probably used his mental power to describe it, giving a good / acceptable / okay / very good evaluation and encouraging them to apply for their own university.

Then the elders of the family will take the opportunity to motivate their relatives and say something, if you are successfully admitted, the sponsorship fee will be used to buy you a horse; Now the sponsorship quota is very scarce, and you must work hard to get in; Don't talk about being a sponsor or anything like that.

The statements are basically the same, and Bai Yi's ears have been calloused in the past ten years.

But in all fairness, only a small percentage of these young people I met tonight were admitted to university normally, and the rest, I'm afraid I would have to consider sponsorship channels or something.

A sponsored student's annual tuition fee is 50,000 gold coins, which is 50 times that of ordinary students, and they must contribute at least 100,000 gold coins to the university in the name of donation when they enroll! This condition can be said to be very harsh, after all, this is the world's top institution of higher learning, if you want to go through the sponsorship channel, how can you be worthy of the current status of the university without spending money?

But even so, the number of sponsorship spots is still in short supply! Even if Bai Yi has expanded the number of sponsored students year by year because of the problem of capital turnover, there are now 30, compared with tens of thousands of applicants every year, it is really a drop in the bucket, and after the end of the enrollment examination every year, there will be countless people of various identities to visit, just begging Bai to give them a chance to send money.

In this regard, Duke Lynch of the South took the lead, at the cost of a few trade channels at hand, he exchanged three sponsorship places for Bai Yi in one go, and successfully sent his youngest son and eldest grandson to the university, and Bai Yi also relied on these channels to successfully sell some of the goods produced by the university itself, which greatly alleviated the financial constraints caused by the Dragon Knights.

And tonight, the two are going to start a business negotiation on the newly developed deformed clothes, and the warriors have already gone to the circle of female dependents very cooperatively, like the ladies to show the function of changing clothes, which successfully caused bursts of screams and exclamations, and by the way, attracted the attention of countless male guests.

"She's beautiful." After having a good time with the guests, Grand Duke Lynch found an opportunity to get close to Bai Yi's side, and looked at the martial artist who was blooming with gorgeous white light all over his body, and sighed, "If I didn't know that she was also a walker, I might have the urge to compete with you." ”

"You don't have a show, the connection between us is far deeper than an ordinary marriage." Bai Yi replied indifferently.

"I remember you mentioned it, is it a memory exchange? The two of them share each other's memories without reservation, this is indeed an extremely sacred ceremony" The Grand Duke sighed with emotion, changed the subject, and said: "This gorgeous and novel luxury item is destined to be very popular, but have you thought about what to choose?" ”

"Honestly, if you ask me to take it, it's probably called a deformation suit or something, right? But I'm afraid this doesn't suit your aristocratic tastes? Bai Yi didn't mind admitting that his standard in naming was terrible, anyway, he was in the same vein as his teacher.

"Haha, your style is as simple and direct as ever." The Duke of the South laughed, "Well, my friend, I'll let my people come up with a gorgeous name for it, after all, I'm such a person who is so keen to help friends." ”

"I think it's because you have a share of this business, right?" Bai Yi ruthlessly pierced his polite words, although this new product was produced by the university, but the follow-up sales, operation and maintenance were all in charge of the Duke of the South, and he raised thirty percent of it, which was fair.

"Okay, my friend, it's true, but it's just a small business, I have a big business here that you're interested in, if you're not going to keep these boring guys around, then we might as well talk about it somewhere else?" The Duke of the South proposed.

"Oh? Could it be the last one? Bai Yi asked with interest, made a gesture, and motioned for the Duke of the South to lead the way.

The two immediately avoided the guests and came to a study in this manor, where there was already a person standing and waiting, it was a young man who looked quite young, wearing a very standard aristocratic dress, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and was standing alone by the window enjoying the moonlight tonight.

The Duke of the South personally closed the door, and Bai Yi set up a silent enchantment, and a secret conversation began.

"Dear Dean, hello, I am a graduate of the 62nd class of improvement, Zodkin, and it is a pleasure to meet you here." The young man first introduced himself very politely, and then bowed slightly to Bai Yi to show his respect.

"He didn't finish his words, now he is the first secretary of a certain military minister, and he is here on behalf of that lord." The Duke of the South added for the other party and completed the entire introduction process.

Since it is a representative of the Minister of War and Aircraft, this business is a big business, as the Duke said before, and in short, it is to get involved in the supply of armaments to the country.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows what kind of business this is, and even if Bai doesn't intend to monopolize it completely, just a small piece of the pie, its expected profit will exceed the combined profits of all his current industries.

Of course, he was very interested in this kind of business, and he had been interested for a long time - as early as two years ago, the Duke of the South invited him to talk about this time, and Bai Yi at that time naturally agreed, whether it was a military standard sword or a standard puppet or even all kinds of potions, there were powerful beings who specialized in this way among the Void Walkers, as long as they could be successfully shortlisted, gold coins would continue to flow into his pocket like printing money.

This business must be firmly controlled by others, and the Duke of the South has worked hard for many years without success, so he thought of pulling Bai Yi, but unfortunately, Bai Yi had already torn his face with the upper echelons of the empire at that time, and it was useless to call him, but the relationship between the two took the opportunity to heat up quickly, and reached a number of subsequent cooperation in other aspects.

What no one expected was that today, when Bai Yi had basically fallen out with the top of the empire, there was actually a breakthrough in this business? While feeling a little happy in his heart, Bai Yi also raised 120,000 points of vigilance.

To be able to give such a large piece of cake to oneself with irreconcilable contradictions, I'm afraid that the empire has something else to ask for itself, right? And considering how delicious this cake is, what they ask for is probably not so easy to deal with
