Early in the morning, everyone in the spring warm house got up one after another. Goode, as usual, got up to exercise, and when he saw that Duchamp didn't get up, he thought he was occasionally lazy and didn't care.

When Goode finished exercising, he didn't see Duchamp get up, so he ran upstairs and called Duchamp.

Duchamp didn't sleep soundly, his huge mental power was occupied by those two magical lines, and a large part of his consciousness was mobilized to analyze those two lines, only to feel all kinds of strange symbols flying around in his mind. He slept dazedly and muttered, "I haven't slept enough." ”

Goode looked at the window and said in a loud voice, "I'm going to the Guiding Force Office for a meeting this morning, and Irina will be here too, so I can't be late." ”

Hearing the words 'Irina', Duchamp finally sobered up a little.

He muttered and barely got up, put away the guide workbench, took the Yang Pendant in his hand, and examined it carefully.

A semi-openwork silver oval lid and a chained of the same color, as accessories for this pendant, are hard to the touch, although they are only plain silver. Open the lid, the pendant looks very simple, the small colorful gems around the large gems are radially distributed, surrounded by a circle of silver with a unique texture, it looks like an ordinary gemstone pendant. The fine lines on the gemstone are now completely hidden on the surface of the crystal, and you can't detect the bumps on the gem when you touch it with your hands. The pendant chain is long enough to fit into clothing so that others can't see the pendant.

Duchamp tried to put the pendant around his neck, and he vaguely felt blessed with a kind of protection, but the feeling was fleeting, and by the time he was engrossed and ready to feel it carefully, there was no trace of it.

He took out all the earth-attribute and water-attribute ornaments he had made, and asked Goode to pick one first.

Goode's tactical guide has long been upgraded by Duchamp, which can activate water-based healing and can also send out earth-based spells, so he took a 'Ring of Breeze' that can increase speed. The rest were given to Gavin, and he and Aggie each picked another one. Aggie has the Ring of the Breeze in his hand and picks a necklace of the water system. Gavin also took an Earth Ring and put away the remaining ones, ready to find an opportunity to bring them back to the road.

After a while, Gavin took Aggie to the Sunday school next to the Great Cathedral to prepare for the entrance test, and Duchamp and Goode went to the Guiding Office for a meeting.

Today, the other members of the Green Leaf Society seem to have arrived earlier, only Duchamp and Goode arrived belatedly.

"Styri, did you drink last night? Why do you look so unenergetic. Serta asked with concern.

"No, I just stayed up late thinking about some questions." Duchamp hurriedly sat down in his seat and motioned for the meeting.

The year 1196 is coming to an end, and this monthly meeting seems to be more like a year-end summary meeting, and after the heads of various departments have reported the situation, Serta makes a summary of the year:

"Our products have been officially launched on the New Year last year for nearly a year now. In just one year, Luye Home Appliances has developed from a nascent brand to a well-known brand covering the whole country and setting up an international office in Crossbell, which is really unimaginable. Looking back, it seems that it happened yesterday when I first started creating the brand, and my chance encounter with Stellar and Andrew on the long-distance bus was really a fateful meeting. ”

Serta made a touching speech with enthusiasm, and not only many newcomers heard this story for the first time, but even Duchamp couldn't help but immerse himself in the unforgettable foursome at this moment.

"In the first 11 months of the year, we sold 23,000 stoves, 15,000 refrigerators, 12,000 washing machines, more than 20,000 hair dryers and more than 4,000 safety razors, with a total sales revenue of more than 180 million meters, which is a staggering number."

All the employees applauded excitedly, and Duchamp thought to himself while applauding with everyone: "I don't think much sales revenue per month on weekdays, but the accumulation is quite amazing." ”

Irina applauded, but also thought with satisfaction in her heart: "I didn't expect to invest 5 million mira casually and get such a big return, so I will have to pay more attention to the affairs here in the future." ”

When Goode heard that there was such a large sales revenue, he lost his mind for a while.

"Of course, the most satisfying thing is that we have only more than 30 employees so far to achieve such a large sales, thanks to our president Stellory, who has designed such a unique operating model for us, so that the company can run efficiently, so that our corporate profits and wages can maintain a better position than our peers, and below, I would like to invite Stellory President to speak to us." Serta concluded her remarks.

Duchamp glanced at the employees sitting in the hall densely seated, many of whom he did not recognize. He first humbled and thanked the staff for their efforts, and then took out the town's speech:

"In view of our good sales revenue and profits this year, in addition to our original year-end reward system and dividend system, we will also hold a celebration meeting on the first Sunday after the New Year, that is, on January 2, when there will be a grand lottery to ensure that every employee can draw a high-quality product produced by our Green Leaf Society, and it is drawn from the stove, oven, refrigerator and washing machine.

The audience was thunderous, and there was no more happy thing to hear the boss give bonuses and red envelopes.

Duchamp was very satisfied, and this is what he wanted. When the cheers passed, he threw out two more shocking news:

"Luye household appliances, is to be at the forefront of the world's household guide manufacturers, in 96 years, we launched six products, and in 97 years, we will also launch an epoch-making new product, is this." He pulled out a small, square box.

"It's a portable player that has the function of a radio and can listen to radio programs in various bands of medium and short wave, and at the same time, it has other functions." Duchamp plucked another key, and a melodious song sounded, "The last rose of summer, still blooming lonely." ”

Seeing that everyone at the scene was listening attentively to this beautiful song, Duchamp did not press the pause button, but let the song play all the time.

After a beautiful song was played, seeing that everyone was still unsatisfied, Duchamp snorted and said: "There is only one song stored in it for the time being." ”

Seeing the disappointed expressions of the employees, Duchamp took out the storage equipment in the box.

"This is a storage device that uses a new format to store the same amount of music in 1/10 the volume of a traditional record, and this is a technology introduced from the Chase Central Workshop. This format of storage can store a lot of things and can be used as a data storage device in the laboratory. When I went to Chase this fall, I saw the technology, signed a contract to use it, and asked them to design this smaller storage box for me. In this way, together with the guide we produce, we can enjoy listening to music anytime and anywhere, such as when walking, when cycling, during a long train journey, or even when the farmer is working, we can put one on the back of the ox, and enjoy the fun of music and humor while working. Well, you can take a look at the sample and evaluate its market prospects. ”

This new gadget quickly ignited the fun of the employees, who passed the samples in their hands and had serious discussions.

This thing, of course, is a miniature version of the storage device used by Dan when Duchamp retrieved the monitoring data from Dan, and its reading system has become extremely simple after Duchamp only requires that it does not carry the writing function and only has the ability to store and read sound. After borrowing some of the design of the earth tape recorder, this guided version of the tape recorder was quickly revealed, and although it was still some distance from the MP3, it was at least up to the standard of carrying around.

I don't know why, when Duchamp saw the sample made, he thought that square dancing was about to rise.

After passing a circle in the hands of the employees, everyone began to pick the thorns of this new product:

"Portable is the biggest advantage, but the size is too small, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to sell at a higher price."

"There's so little music available to play and so few stations to listen to that it's not appealing to customers."

"It looks like the jukebox is more magnificent."

"It will take time to promote the new memory, and many music lovers are still collecting records, which will bring difficulties to the promotion."

Duchamp listened to these opinions and nodded incessantly, he asked: "The above are the main problems that everyone has picked out, has anyone thought of a solution?" ”

Goode was the first to raise his hand, stood up and said: "The size of the volume is not a problem at all, the core components of the product are indeed only so many, but the volume completely depends on the size of the sound hung at both ends, according to the needs of customers, it can be made into a very small one, which can be packed in a pocket, or can be made into a large ornament, and even can be placed directly on the ground." ”

Duchamp nodded in encouragement and asked, "Are there any other shortcomings that can be added?" ”

One of the employees raised his hand, he was a young man, and the freckles on his face had not faded, but the younger he was, the more interested he was in such a product.

"What's your name, please? Nick? Well, Nick, it's up to you to add how to compensate for the current shortcomings of the Walkman. ”

Nick stood up and said, "We can get in touch with the publisher and rip some of the best-selling records into our storage boxes and sell them with the Walkman." There are many advantages, first of all, in addition to selling Walkmans, we can also sell storage boxes non-stop; Secondly, for publishers, what has already been sold once, they are also happy to sell it again in a different way. And we can introduce it at a very low price. ”

Duchamp smiled with satisfaction, there was really no shortage of talents.
