Chapter 32 Closure of the Conference
"First of all, we must have our own booth in the Technician Association, which is the place with the most traffic for adventurers, and also the most authoritative, where we place a display and the armor that is beneficial to the adventurers to recognize. Then there are the weapons shops on the high street, which are frequented by adventurers, where armor is sold, and it can achieve both the goal of publicity and sales!"
Contin was the nephew of old Jeremy and the second son of Noel, and he was best at dealing with various merchants than in the craft of crafting. The Pike family was not yet able to open their own shop, so merchandise was generally sold at the Technician Guild and other stores.
When business began, it existed to communicate what is not there. When civilization entered a highly developed era, commerce took on a different meaning, which included two processes: production and exchange. The process of production was originally called industry, but when capital enters industry, people who do not have the ability to make themselves can also start industries, and such people are also called merchants. The other kind of businessman is still responsible for the function of goods exchange. There is also a group of people who are not engaged in industrial or commercial activities, but only manage the money in commercial exchanges, and this kind of commercial derivative behavior is called the financial industry.
Belparo's business activities basically include two links: production and sales. Due to its remoteness, it is an outpost for adventurers to enter the "Mirror District", and business is quite bustling here.
This is how all of the Parker's previous merchandise was distributed. Deliver your items directly to the store and let the store sell it. Channels such as stores that sell products directly to users are generally called channels.
In addition, there is a rough sales model, which is to set up stalls in the market to trade goods. This type of transaction is generally a small transaction due to the instability of the buyer and seller. This kind of trading booth is relatively difficult to produce a lasting brand radiation effect.
The Parker family belongs to the R&D team, and they don't know much about the idea of operation, and Kangtan's idea is basically summarized in two aspects, one is to distribute goods in the original sales channel, and the other is to take advantage of the huge flow of people in the "Harvest Festival" to publicize the armor.
Rough!
In Bello's eyes, the commercial attributes of these people are simply rough.
But he didn't say anything more. Since everyone takes it for granted, let's just do it.
After agreeing on the sales channels, the meeting basically came to an end. When a group of people came out of the living room, it was already the middle of the moon. The huge red full moon slanted towards the ground with a brilliant glow.
The Parker women, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately put the prepared meal on the table. Old Jeremy had instructed that the meal was prepared quite sumptuously, roast beef, roast lamb, roast ham, toast bread...... In addition to a bunch of roasted things, all that is left is boiled soup, lettuce salad, fruit salad.
Bello expressed his frustration that not all civilizations can give birth to food culture. For a foodie, monotonous cooking techniques, monotonous seasonings, and monotonous saltiness are very ways to quench appetite.
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of old Jeremi, Belo reluctantly ate one piece of fatty roast beef, two more dry breads, and drank a large glass of beer by the way. Only then was he drunkenly led by a girl to his bedroom. This capable, quite crisp round-faced girl is Adele. She was in charge of taking care of Bello at Pike's house.
Sleep doesn't exist because of a change of location. Bello returned to his room in his dream. The mask still floats in the doorway. The Mask Killer and the Tower Man are still standing in the corner.
Bello's mentality at this time was different. The gloom and despair are gone, and all that remains is a positive mindset and a sense of eagerness.
Keep coming!
Bello walked towards the Mask Killer in high spirits, When he faced this assassin again, this opponent who could not be faced seemed to be so strong. After several encounters, he was able to successfully dodge the Assassin's surprise attack and successfully killed him.
On the one hand, because the mask killer only has those few tricks back and forth, using it in a dream, and repeatedly targeting, Bello feels that he has returned to the moment when he played games in Internet cafes.
As soon as the other party raised his hand, he knew that the fluorescent dark weapon was about to be issued, and when he raised his hand again, it must be a ghost claw scythe, and every movement Belo was familiar with the most subtle features. Just by looking at the reaction of the opponent's muscles, you can know which move you will face next.
Again!
Twice!
Three times!
Bello was happy to fight the Mask Killer until every time the Mask Killer raised his hand, he was able to successfully counter the kill.
If the difficulty of Mask Killer is easy, the difficulty of Sheriff of the Tower is hell. The power of a punch to break a person's bones, coupled with a stormy attack. Even Bello had experienced all of these attacks in reality. When he entered the dream, Bello never lasted two minutes without the help of his "sharp intuition".
A storm-like attack, in the first two minutes, Bello could still rely on being familiar with this set of attacks, constantly dodging and blocking. Two minutes later, under the dazzling attack, Bello is usually hit by a punch, and there is a flaw in the direct hit, followed by the fist, the fist breaks through the defenseless shelf, and Bello will be hit the key point within three or two punches, and he will be completely defeated.
In the real world, the threat of the Mask Killer is like a sharp edge, which makes Bello very uncomfortable. He understands that he must continue to get stronger, otherwise he doesn't know when, he will encounter this guy again, and this killer will not easily give up his goal. Bello does things and never takes chances.
Under the ravages of the Sheriff of the Iron Tower, Bello's "Red Moon Swordsmanship" became more and more proficient. In the end, it has reached the point where it is easy to come out and use it as you like. Even so, Bello made the most of every second in the dream world and tried to make himself stronger.
Hone!
Keep grinding!
Only continuous training can give Bello a slight sense of security.
When he woke up the next day, the empty room made Bello a little stunned.
In the bedroom space, the two-meter double bed, made of mahogany, with a cotton wool mattress underneath, a large and thick quilt wrapped in a large red quilt cover, filled with lamp grass cores, and a pillow with the scent of hay. I don't know how much stronger than my own little nest.
This room is not as extravagant as the living room, after all, the living room is the face, and the bedroom is mainly about comfort. Bello got out of bed with a bedside table in his left hand and a writing desk in his right. A beige wardrobe with triple doors is placed in the left corner, while in the right corner is a coat rack.
Not bad!
Bello got up, stretched, and was just about to get out of bed when he heard a knock on the door.
"Knock! knock!"
After three gentle knocks on the door, a girl's voice came: "Brother Bello, have you gotten up!" This voice Belo had heard, it was the girl who brought him to the room last night - Adele.
"Not yet!" Bello replied, getting up and getting dressed, only to find that his clothes were missing. He began to think that he had accidentally thrown it somewhere under the bed.
I searched left and right, looked and looked, but I couldn't find it.
I searched carefully, but I still didn't find it.
I can't help but feel strange.
At this time, Adele's voice came from outside the door: "Little brother Bello, I took your clothes to wash last night! You open the door, I bring in a change of clothes and you can change them." ”
Clothes taken away?
Bello was a little embarrassed, a girl outside the door let herself open the door, and she was only wearing a pair of shorts, how embarrassing was that.
But if you don't open the door, you have no clothes.
Bello smiled bitterly, but he was not hypocritical, and opened the door directly.
Standing outside was Adele, holding a white jacket and a small black suit. It's a formal outfit. The clothes are brand new, and I don't know if they were bought new.
Bello was embarrassed to take his clothes, and then closed the door with his backhand. Adele outside the door was stunned for a moment, and then "snorted" and waited at the door with a smile.
The size of this dress is very suitable, the white shirt fabric is soft, and it fits well and is soft to wear. The black suit was a slim-fitting suit with a long gun lapel and two buttons on each side of the chest, and two rows of buttons below the ribs, three in each row. The left column is for buttoning, and the right column is for decoration. There is a pocket on the left chest, on which a logo pattern is embroidered with purple thread and then bordered with silver thread.
Along with the suit, there was also a brooch, a ruby brooch set with a thumb-sized ruby set in white metal with a thin chain hanging from the chest.
The so-called people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Bello changed into this clothes, washed up, and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time.
"Damn, I haven't looked in the mirror for a few days, and I'm handsome again!" Bello praised himself proudly.
After washing, except for the door, it was just dawn. There is one thing to do today: apprenticeship. This is something that the Pike family said was good yesterday. Earhart didn't have to apprentice, while Kling and Thoma had to use the Rite of Inheritance.
The so-called inheritance ceremony is not a mess. Only those who have an exclusive lineage can use the lineage ceremony to apprentice. This ritual of apprenticeship is to invite people to come and observe the ceremony. The scale of the inheritance determines the identity of the observer.
If it is a grandmaster accepting disciples, you need to greet them half a year in advance, send an invitation letter a month ago, and do a variety of etiquette to entertain visitors three days ago. In the process of apprenticeship, at least one grandmaster is needed as a witness, and there will be several grandmasters at the same time, as a witness.
Ordinary inheritance craftsmen are much worse than accepting apprentices, basically choosing a good day, calling relatives and friends to be witnesses, accepting apprentices, and having a meal.
According to Bello's meaning, an engineering drawing is just a church, and a casual teaching is also a church. Kling and Thoma followed for a few days, starting with simple drawings and soon being able to learn, which was not a big deal at all.
He underestimated the importance of the discipline of engineering drawing in the eyes of old Jérémi. In the old man's opinion, whether it is armor or nuts, these are production technologies. And engineering drawing is indeed higher than the "knowledge" of these technologies. This kind of knowledge can be passed down as a formal inheritance.
At the insistence of old Jeremi, Belo had no choice but to agree to hold an apprenticeship ceremony early in the morning. The scale is not large, it is an ordinary craftsman apprenticeship ceremony.
Two apprentices, Clint and Thoma.
Master alone, Bello.
Before the sun had risen, Bello was ushered into a room. At the top of the room was a stool, and in front of it was a square table, on which was a small stove, and from the stove a fuchsia flame wafted out.
