Chapter 383 - New Monetary Deal VI,
The portal was completed, and according to the agreement with Master Emily, Jiao Ming no longer has to spend every afternoon in the laboratory, which has to be said to free up a lot of time. I was going to take a break for a while, and focus on managing the arsenal, completing the agreement with the personality of the Silent One to make its production capacity and pass rate reach the target, and obtain the method of closing the mind.
But at this time, it seems that the child must intervene in this matter. Every effort is made to put in place security measures, and this group of high-ring magicians who believe in the theory of survival of the fittest must not be allowed to cause death. But just as he was about to say something, he groaned again. What if the restrictions are too strict and the group of people go somewhere else to play by themselves?
It was only because of the completion of the portal that this viscounty became the 'border area' of the newly formed twin strikers, and it was not necessary for the children to compete in the location. Qingshui City and Crocodile Leader Changteng Town are all very suitable candidates, so they can't get involved.
At some point, the presbytery continued and began to discuss the details. And one of the high-ring magicians' suggestion that it should be held every year in the future made Jiao Ming suddenly enlightened, and a world event that was a household name on the earth jumped into his mind, and various ways to play that could produce benefits on it also followed.
I made up my mind to pay attention, but there are obviously many obstacles in all aspects to achieve the goal, and for the time being, I can only make a reasonable revision of the teenage shrinking demon.
When the Council of Elders once again completed the vote on some detailed issues and formed an overall plan, Jiao Ming, who had been observing, came to the front as a lord and directly agreed to this plan that would inevitably kill people in order to keep the event. The high-ring magicians, who didn't know anything about Jiao Ming's kindness in his heart, only thought that it was natural to agree, after all, it was a matter that was beneficial to the territory. The lords and the council of elders passed, and the council of labor representatives below was largely non-existent, and everyone applauded and celebrated 'in advance'.
Jiao Ming didn't bother to dwell on this kind of face-saving matter, applauded with the crowd, and then pressed his hand to signal quiet, and then said the idea formed just now, and the outline was very simple.
The first is strong support. The new venue, free room and board for the participating teams, and the hiring of a high-ring magician to provide security on the spot, these are what the members of the Presbyterian Church expected without much explanation.
The rest of the section amazed the Presbyterians. Jiao Ming actually proposed to organize participating groups with the academy as a unit, and also brought in other regions, such as Blue Python, Green Flame and several other forces that set up magic academies.
As soon as the words fell, some people questioned, first, people may not be willing to buy it, and second, the traffic problem, "Is it all connected by your portal?"
"There's no hurry to pull people in, it's naturally easy to make a noise, as for the portal network, why not?" Jiao Ming smiled slightly. The income brought by the portal in the past few days has already made Jiao Ming feel cramped when he counts the money, this is comparable to the business of blocking the road and robbing is not too good, and it is better to spread throughout the United Kingdom territory.
The high-ring magicians looked at each other and said no more. Based on the world's understanding of earth-based magical appendages, it is necessary to protect them closely before dissolving the relationship so as not to damage their souls due to their death. But when encountering Jiao Ming's strange thing, he doesn't care about soul damage, nor does he care about the impact on the promotion of the ring, and everyone will not stop him if he is not a relative. And those who know the details of the magic vines will not talk much.
The questioner nodded and sat down, while Jiao Ming said the last point, which was to attract the audience with extensive publicity, and then sell tickets for a profit. When it comes to money, the venue is chaotic again, and Jiao Ming is not used to such a situation, and he is not afraid to wait for everyone to finish the discussion. And the result is not unexpected, questioning everyone's way of profiting, after all, everyone has worked hard to attract spectators in this game, and the ticket revenue will only sound like it will go into the pocket of Lord Jiao Ming.
"You don't have to worry about it at all. First of all, I think this event has a lot of prospects, and killing the eggs is the next step. Therefore, it was committed that the operating accounts for the first three years would be made public within the Presbyterian Church. Jiao Ming was also a little cautious when he said this. First of all, the accounts are open and the finances are transparent, which can minimize everyone's negative emotions. Secondly, in the early stage of project operation, counting the investment in infrastructure, it is not necessary to lose money on the books, and it is more sympathetic to the miserable sale.
"Moreover, with such a grand event, security work naturally cannot be relaxed. Therefore, I plan to hire you as security personnel for this first event with a high salary, and I will give you a bonus of 8% of the profit after the game. With a wicked smile in his heart, Jiao Ming threw out a blank check. The business atmosphere of the Hongshan Kingdom is strong, and most people know what dividends are, and a few unknown people such as Huang Xia Zimang also calculated the result after Jiao Ming's simple explanation: about three percent.
At this point, everyone had no objections, unanimously passed Jiao Ming's proposal, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the opinions of the craftsman representative council again with Jiao Ming, and applauded and celebrated.
After a customary signing of the items on paper, the Council of Elders concluded. Jiao Ming wanted to return to the study to make further plans, or to recall more content to copy and apply, but was respectfully stopped by a slightly familiar member of the Presbyterian Church, who seemed to be one of the leaders responsible for overseeing and recording the pilot situation of the New Monetary Deal.
The old man said a few words of rap Red Mountain King Chinese greeting, Jiao Ming did not understand, and could not judge the identity and other information from the actions like people familiar with aristocratic etiquette, but endured it with a stiff expression and then began to return the salute under the prompting of Luohua. When the clichΓ© is over, the old man gets to the point, and uses a fairly fluent lingua franca to express that the royal family of the kingdom is very interested in the portal and hopes to cooperate further.
Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "Do you want me to introduce Master Emily to you?"
"Exactly. β
Jiao Ming didn't think much about it, and nodded in agreement. The old man seemed to be in a hurry, and said that he wanted to talk to Emily immediately. Since you are in a hurry, don't waste time politely just now, Jiao Ming secretly sneered, called Dieda, who was still sorting out the meeting materials, and went straight to the Mage Tower.
However, as soon as he saw Emily who was teleported back to the laboratory from the Presbyterian Church, Jiao Ming inexplicably received a big roll of his eyes, moved to the mage tower reception room and greeted him politely, and Emily's indifferent attitude made Jiao Ming suspect that she also had a split personality. However, in the process of bargaining, Jiao Ming finally realized that although this portal technology nominally belonged to Emily, if Emily shared it with the Red Mountain Kingdom in any way, it would basically declare that she would be disaffiliated with Vice President Sasu.
Realizing this, Jiao Ming cast an apologetic look at Emily and was ready to apologize. Sure enough, after a polite but unproductive meeting, the old man took his leave and left, looking unusual, obviously not surprised by this result. And when he went out, Jiao Ming began to say good things as planned.
"Count you as acquaintances. β
"Hey, hey. Jiao Ming smiled, and then said the result of what he had just thought: "But I think it's okay, the portal is a hen that lays golden eggs, and there should always be money for everyone to earn." It is always not good for us to beg for a living in the land of the Red Mountain Kingdom, and not let the family share some profits. β
"Don't think about the technical aspects. β
"Of course, of course. Jiao Ming nodded again and again, it seems that the Red Mountain Kingdom can only earn some money for maintenance and tickets, but I don't know if people can see it or not. Then he confirmed that the reception room was full of his own people, and then he spoke: "You also heard at today's elders' meeting that I plan to spread the portal throughout the kingdom union. But when the time comes, such a high-tech thing will inevitably be coveted there. β
"You're trying to add some secrecy?"
"Heroes see the same thing!" Jiao Ming gave a thumbs up.
"Don't brag about it, it's nothing unusual. Emily waved her hand and continued: "One difficulty is that the usual secrecy methods are destructive, I am afraid that it will cause great damage to the magic vines, you and that girl named Shining Scale have a talent for water, so it is not a big problem." The other two are troublesome, and in the worst case scenario, two lose their magical abilities and cause the other portals to fail. β
"Blow up right out of the box?"
"Almost. Emily gave a well-deserved example, "Magical items of the same size, such as the core of the floating airship, the sale version of Master Keno's permanent spatial teleportation circle, etc., all do this." β
Jiao Ming was dumbfounded, "These, why didn't you say it earlier?"
"You never asked. β
"I was wrong. Knowing that he couldn't debate with a woman, Jiao Ming hurriedly surrendered and said in a soothing tone: "That means the portal can't be opened?"
"Of course, you can use some milder secrecy methods instead, such as the one I've been working on these days. Fill the encapsulation with compressed air and blow the magic vines out of the box. β
"Good way. β
"The technical secret is kept, but it still can't avoid the destruction of the magic vines by venting their anger. β
"This ......" Jiao Ming's excitement was smashed to the bottom again.
"Actually, when I was chatting with that person just now, I thought of another way, which is to change people. Emily sat in a more comfortable position. And finding a solution to the problem is refreshing for the researcher, and it seems that this is why Jiao Ming, who caused trouble, was so easily let go.
"Those who are dual-gifted in the air and water systems, and they are all at least three rings. Jiao Ming nodded, although this condition is harsh, but if you mobilize your strength to find it, it is not impossible to find it. "But do people want that?"
"I'll leave this to the Red Mountain Kingdom for a headache. And this is also a decent reason to hand over your interests, and your worries are solved. Emily patted Jiao Ming's shoulder and smiled slightly: "Then let's talk about how much you paid for my method." β
Jiao Ming couldn't cry or laugh, and just wanted to refute one or two, such as this method is easy to think of, but seeing that Emily has a tendency to turn her face, although she knows that this is a joke, she still hurriedly puts her attitude verbally correct, "You are the master, you have the final say." β
The master and apprentice haggled happily, and the main costs of Jiao Ming's pit were the time spent studying magic together, the materials for experimenting with black matter, and a small amount of money. In the end, Jiao Ming even felt that all this was Emily's good intentions as a master, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.
The cost of buying the idea was negotiated, and Jiao Ming wanted to talk about how much to pay tribute to the Red Mountain Kingdom, but Emily waved his hand and sent him away, "Don't bother me with this kind of thing." β
After two words of nonsense, Jiao Ming got up to say goodbye, but before leaving, he remembered another question: "I remember that Vice President Sasu advocated sharing technology, I don't know what his attitude is towards those 'secret methods'?"
"He's just advocating sharing within the Wizards' Guild. Emily said something in a word, thought about it and added: "And it's for the purpose of strengthening communication and improving together." As for attitude, it's probably good to maintain the status quo. β
"And what does he think about making a profit with magical knowledge?"
"That's ......," Emily recalls for a moment, "I haven't heard him mention it." Come to think of it, I should disdain it. β
'Pretentious, high-minded, do not eat the fireworks of the world. Jiao Ming put a label on Vice President Sasu in his heart. Out of the Mage Tower, Jiao Ming immediately found Yisi and said with a smile that there was something good.
"Tell me about it. Yi Si was quite a leader and pushed a few of his subordinates on standby.
"I remember you said that the Red Mountain Kingdom has also set up a magic vine teleportation circle, the kind of dual talent of air and water, how about we cooperate to set up a portal?"
The profitability of the portal Yi Si saw it in his eyes, and felt that there was no room for interference, so he didn't think about it rationally, and when he heard the matchmaking work, he raised his eyebrows and immediately became interested. "How much are you willing to give. β
Jiao Ming was anxious about the Youth Games, so he was so concerned about the premise of the portal, but he forgot to set the reserve price, which is simply the most mentally retarded behavior in business negotiations. "Twenty percent of ticket revenue. β
"Deal!" replied Eth almost snapped.
"I feel like I'm losing, can I change it?"
"Think beautifully. Issie laughed,
Jiao Ming put on a bitter face, but he was relieved. The portal is such a useful thing, everyone who sees it wants to build it, and the Magician Association may not hesitate to sell and raise the price, since it is a matter of time before it becomes popular, it is inevitable that the price will be reduced to free, and the so-called two percent will also be zero.
However, things are not so simple, the next day, when Yisi brought back two water and air dual-system magicians and a few large potted plants from Clear Water City, Emily shook her head: "This vine is different from Jiao Ming's." β
"Can't it be used?" Eth immediately tensed.
Emily pressed the vine to her forehead for a moment, "It works." But the problem is that the parameters have changed drastically, and the circle needs to be adjusted in a large area, and I don't want to waste time doing this kind of upside-down work. β
Yi Si pondered for a moment, and poked Jiao Ming with his elbow to hint at his persuasion. Jiao Ming, on the other hand, focused on the two dual-system magicians, and did not react to Yi Si's movements at all, just because the demeanor of these two people seemed to be a little 'sluggish'.
"Hey, what are you looking at?" asked Iss.
"These two magicians...... Isn't it ......"
"Even if you think about it, don't say it. β
The voice of these two lines of dialogue was not low, and Emily could hear it completely, but she did not react. Obviously, I saw the clue a long time ago, but I just didn't see it.
