Chapter 25: I Have a Dream
The old finch welcomed Duchamp to a separate small building in the backyard, took out a bunch of keys from his belt, opened a delicate mahogany cabinet, and took out a bottle of red wine, sure enough, it was the limited edition Star of Minas from 1182. He poured a glass for each of them, took a sip of his own, and said proudly, "How is this wine?" ”
Duchamp burst out laughing: "Nobles don't pin the wine cabinet key to their belts. ”
The old family suddenly felt discouraged, and simply went straight in. "Actually, I've been looking for a chance to talk to you alone."
Duchamp pressed one finger to the glass of wine, his sharp gaze piercing the crystal. "Why do you have to go back to the road?"
The old man said slyly: "Lu, that's a lucky stupid big man." After speaking, he whispered: "I want to negotiate with you alone about a deal that can make a fortune, and if it can be done, we can both make millions of mira." ”
Duchamp said lazily: "I don't think this has to be talked about behind the road, you must know that luck is the most rare attribute of a person." And he added in his heart - and he wasn't a big stupid man.
This is Duchamp's truth, for a mage who likes to fire cold cannons, a reliable T is more important than anything else.
It's a pity that the old finch doesn't know this relationship. Seeing that millions of mira still couldn't make Duchamp move, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "Actually, I thought that it must be your credit that you can get the new and fresh monster meat from the wild. Although fresh Warcraft meat is valuable, it has to take many risks to hunt and kill, so how can you sit at home and count the banknotes? ”
Duchamp lifted the red wine and motioned for him to continue.
"I guess you must have mastered portable freezing technology, Lu Na is stupid, who can he know, among the people of the green forest, only you can master such technology. You may not know how valuable this technology is. ”
The old finch deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Because it can't be saved, most of the things on the body of the monster every time you hunt it are thrown away." I've been selling fresh Warcraft meat here recently, just in the past few days, how many people have come to ask, we can ignore the small forces, but if Polaris comes to ask, what should I say? ”
"Then don't sell it for now, and then press it for a while." Duchamp looked indifferent.
"How's that going to work!" "I have a good idea, instead of waiting for others to grab it, let's mark it at a price and sell it generously, and sell it to whoever wants it, so that no one can be offended, and we can make a lot of money." ”
The old man looked at Duchamp slyly: "What do you think?" ”
When Duchamp heard this, he couldn't help laughing, pointed to his old finch and said, "Your old man's little abacus is too fine." ”
"First of all, this technology is mine, and it has nothing to do with you. If I'm looking for a landlord to work with, why don't I find Polaris and just work with them, anyway, Polaris has always wanted to recruit roads. ”
"Secondly, you are not good at the guidance technology at all, and the method I am using now is not a secret on the continent at all. All you need is a guide mage for each team, and after a while, use the Frost skill on your prey. But now it's not this method that's difficult, it's the rarity of tactical force guides, and the fact that there aren't many people who can skillfully use force guide spells. ”
When the old finch heard this, he was immediately deflated.
Duchamp deliberately wanted to tease the overly shrewd old man, and said slowly, "But—"
"But recently, because of the frequent use of this method, I have some other ideas, that is, the method of refrigeration and freezing of items can be easily achieved without the need for a tactical force guide or a guide mage."
Duchamp's wrist flipped, and there was already a large blue magic crystal in his hand.
"In the magic crystal of this level 5 demonic beast digging worm, a guiding spell Frost Breath has been solidified inside, which is equivalent to a natural guiding force circuit. As long as it is designed with a suitable channeling inducing facility, it will be able to activate the Frost Breath once in a while. If the guide circuit is cleverly designed, the amount of the spell power can also be adjusted, so that the amount of power stored inside the magic crystal can be greatly reduced, and the number of spells activated can be increased. Then, install it in a box with good enclosure. ”
Duchamp looked at the still unknown underground merchant and said word by word: "In this way, anyone can have a refrigerator that can refrigerate itself." ”
The old sparrow jumped up and asked, "When will you be able to make it?" ”
Duchamp said lazily: "I can't do it." ”
The old man was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and his face came to Duchamp: "Don't tease my old man, you must have a way, right." ”
"Of course I have a way. On this continent, there is a genius who can easily solve such a small problem. I was going to visit him with my design philosophy and get the design of the guide circuit from him, the genius Dr. Albert Russell, the founder of Chase Central Studio. Even if you can't invite a cow like him, you can ask his apprentices and grandchildren to help. Or, let's go to the Lulei University of Technology, where the guiding laboratory is also well-known throughout the country, which is a little bit of design. ”
"But before we can do that, we need to finalize our cooperation."
In the evening, Lu and a group of brothers returned. The old man cautiously closed the door in the backyard and drank a whole bottle of red wine with Duchamp and Lu, and then the cooperation model was finalized.
Duchamp was responsible for the guiding force design and product design of the "refrigerator".
In the next three months, the road is responsible for providing a number of no less than 30 frozen digging insects, and after the old finch is responsible for selling, the income of no less than 500,000 meters will be obtained as the capital for investing in the production of refrigerators.
The old family raised another 500,000 meters as the capital to invest in the production of refrigerators and marketing promotion.
Regarding the shares of the refrigerator industry, Duchamp accounts for 4 percent, and Lu and Laojia each account for 3 percent.
Lao Jia Que wanted to make another comment on the shares. Duchamp pouted, if you don't do it, I'll find someone to sell it again. The old finch immediately compromised.
During the negotiations, the two had a great disagreement on the pricing and size of the refrigerator in the future. The old family insisted that the price of a refrigerator should not be less than 20,000 meters, and Duchamp thought that it was not bad to be able to sell five or six thousand meters.
The old man was so anxious that he yelled: "The magic crystal of the level 5 demonic beast, how much does this cost!" How much does it cost to make a beautifully styled look? At your price, we're going to lose money. ”
Duchamp smiled dumbly, realizing that he was still thinking about the problem in the way of thinking of earthlings, and decided to take a step back: "Okay, let's use exquisite materials to make a batch of high-end goods first, and then according to the price you said, go and earn the money of those noble lords first." Once you find that someone else is doing the same thing in the market, you will make every effort to make a product with better quality than theirs but at a lower price than theirs, in short, you must firmly grasp the market. ”
After arguing about the price, Duchamp said to Lu: "Let the little blacksmith make the sample of the trial production, he is his own person, and he can use it with confidence." Let the little blacksmith contact more craftsmen, carpenters and blacksmiths, and let him manage production when he grows bigger in the future. ”
Lu agreed silently, seemingly getting 30% of the shares, but he didn't get much interest.
Coming out of his hometown's house, Duchamp triumphantly walked upstairs, and when he was halfway down the road, the road suddenly stopped Duchamp and asked, "Styry, why are we tinkering with this refrigerator?" ”
Duchamp asked curiously, "Why tinker?" To make a lot of money, of course. This is just the beginning, my mind is full of this kind of technical ideas, and if I don't exchange them for money, I won't lose money. ”
"But you forget, that's not what we set for that." Lu said solemnly.
"Nani?" Duchamp was completely confused.
"When we established the Green Forest Mercenary Group, we said that we should work hard to become stronger and overcome barriers, but this refrigerator is just an additional plaything for nobles, so what good is it for crossing barriers?"
Duchamp was stunned for a while, he didn't expect that Lu had never forgotten the bloody words at that moment.
Seeing Duchamp's appearance, Lu thought that he was reluctant to see the money he was going to make, and said seriously: "Styry, we can earn money in other ways, but we should do something more meaningful." It turns out that you said that you are tinkering with tactical guides to break the monopoly of the aristocracy on us, that is a good idea, why don't we invest our money there. ”
Duchamp didn't hear the second half of the road at all, his thoughts had already wandered into the clouds.
Duchamp found that he had inadvertently seemed to completely ignore the thoughts and emotions of the big man.
He remembered the days when he used to play online games, and the NPCs on the road, for some players, were meant to provide services and kill when they were unhappy.
Duchamp is not, he likes each character to be more vivid, because of his disdain for this kind of NPC face and the cookie-cutter cabbage game, he likes the heroic legend that each NPC has a unique personality, and only then did he brush up on the achievement of four platinums.
And now, he is not in the game, this big man in front of him, he once saved himself, he was always the first to rush up when he encountered danger, he once jumped off the cliff desperately to attract the attention of the monster in order to escape to the cliff. However, he even ignored his sincere and simple ideals.
What is it? It's all a player mode at work.
Duchamp suddenly wanted to hug the big man and confess the word 'small' that he had hidden under his leather robe.
No, wait, STOP!
Isn't the script of the traverser written like this, shouldn't the traverser make others fall down in front of him with a heartache? How could I have thought of such a bloody way of expression just now, it is definitely a chaotic logic after drinking.
Change the script, change the script quickly!
Duchamp quickly gathered his thoughts, sighed, turned around deeply, looked directly into Lu's eyes, and said, "Lu, how do you think you can cross the barriers of this world full of class and privilege?" ”
Lu Pao pulled his fingers and pondered: "This, the aristocracy can go to school, we must also be able to go to school; 2. We also pay as much land tax as others pay; Third, we should also be able to buy tactical power guides; Four ......"
"Stop!" Duchamp slammed on the brakes urgently, and what you mean in short, you can't leave all the good things to the nobles and the rich, and the poor have to be able to enjoy them, right? ”
Seeing Lu Meng nodding, Duchamp continued: "Since ancient times, there has been inequality between the rich and the poor, and we are powerless to change this. But there is one thing that can be touched by anyone and living beings on the continent of Semria, and that is the ubiquitous guiding force between the sky and the earth. As long as there is a guiding device, anyone can enjoy the inexhaustible energy of the goddess. What is the guiding force, it is the gift of the goddess to all living beings in this world. Theoretically, each of us should be happy to have a guiding force, which can warm us in winter and cool us in summer. But in this world, there are still so many people who are suffering from hunger and cold, do you know what the root cause is? ”
Unconsciously, Duchamp's innate talent for mouth cannon has been fully activated, and at this time, he is in a state of excitement, and the mobilization of knowledge in the brain domain has reached an extreme.
"What is the root cause? It is the conductor that has not yet become widespread in this world. The power guide is so expensive, so little, and the only resources are used to make guns, not to bring happiness to people. That's why you feel unhappy. What should we do? We need to completely change this concept of the world, and we want to make more and cheaper guides for the poor. I have the technology, you have the ideals, so we can do it. The refrigerator is only the first step in the long march, and in the future, we must let every family, every homeless, and every orphan easily enjoy the greatest blessing of the goddess to her people-guidance. ”
Hearing this, Lu's deep sunken eyes were full of crystals, and Duchamp urgently said the rest of the lines before Lu was about to say something sensational:
"Therefore, we are going to set up a chamber of commerce, and you, as the head of the group, must be obliged to assume the position of president. Don't look at me, I'm relatively young, and I'm a technical talent, and hiding behind the scenes to plan everything is the role I'm suitable for. As for the name of the Chamber of Commerce, I also thought of it, and it was called the Green Forest Chamber of Commerce. ”
Lu's blazing deep-set eyes, full of tears, he nodded vigorously, reached out and patted Duchamp's shoulder, and returned to the room with sonorous steps, summoned everyone, including Xiao Zhengtai Lane, officially announced the establishment of the Green Forest Chamber of Commerce, and delivered an impassioned speech by the president:
"When in mid-June, the old machete, Chuck and others said that they would leave their shops behind and wander with us to Pvennis, my heart was uneasy, because you have a rich life, and you are not wanted, so you don't have to flee in the mountains and forests, running around and taking risks like us. But the old machete said, what is the matter of the shop, in order not to lie on the ground like a dog and let others bully, why not wander around. I was very touched by what I heard, but I didn't know where the paradise in our hearts was, what our goal was. ”
"Today, the Stellory brothers told me exactly what we're aiming for. This land was given to humans by Eds, the goddess of the sky. The ubiquitous guiding force on this earth is given to all people by the goddess Edres. As long as they can use the guiding force, people can easily accomplish anything they want, such as cooking, plowing the fields, farming, as well as banishing monsters and protecting children, and the poor can live easily and happily. ”
"However, the ability to control the guiding force has always been monopolized by a small group. We have always been resentful, and in the past I always thought that we were enemies, and it is only today that I understand that we are hating the blessings bestowed on us by the goddess and being artificially deprived of them, which is the source of poverty and injustice in this world. ”
"We are ordinary people, but we also have dreams, which drove us to establish the Green Forest Chamber of Commerce, the purpose of which is to bring back the blessings given to us by the goddess through our own efforts. We will work on the popularization of guiding power. We already have a prototype of a product, but this is not enough, we will now work hard to make money, strive to learn and master the method of using conduction, and break the barriers of the world to conduction technology. ”
"I have a dream, I dream of one day, the valley rises and the mountain falls; The bumpy and winding road becomes a smooth road, the holy light is revealed, the world is full of light, everyone can live happily, everyone has a warm lamp in winter, every family, every homeless person, every orphan in the continent of Semria, can conveniently enjoy the blessing of the goddess to her people - the guiding force anytime, anywhere. ”
After the big man gave his inaugural speech in one breath, Duchamp saw that all the people gathered around him, scrambling to embrace the road, expressing his inner admiration and excitement.
Even Fairy Layla pulled the edge of the big man's clothes, and her eyes went straight to the little stars. Looking at the future protagonist Li En, holding the thick legs of a big man, he said sincerely: "Brother Lu, I knew that you were the best!" ”
For a moment, Duchamp suddenly felt that he was weak.
