"Cooperation?"
"That's right!"
Zhang Li said with a smile: "Just like you said, I can't guarantee that the soap will be hot, if it can't be sold, won't you buy it out in vain?" So we can cooperate, I will give knowledge, you will give you land and property, we will build this factory together, and how much we will earn will be dividends according to shares, what do you think?"
"Shares?" Duke Eberlock clearly did not understand the meaning of the word.
"That's right, you can understand this word as the ownership of this factory, you have half of it, I have half of it, we own this factory together, and we will make fifty-five percent of the money when the time comes. ”
"No!" the Duke refused without even thinking about it, "You just want to get half a factory with an idea and a technology? The duke's heart was very unbalanced, and he shook his head vigorously: "No way!".
"But you can't afford to open this factory without my technology. Zhang Li said with a smile: "Think about the chain reaction I just said, if the factory can be built, your territory will benefit in all aspects, more and more people will be attracted here, and your tax revenue will increase a lot year-on-year. ”
"......" Duke glared at Zhang Li very unhappily, and it could be seen that he was very tempted by the suggestion of cooperating with Zhang Li, but this dividend ratio really made him feel blocked.
"Don't look at me like that, or I'll take a step back. Zhang Li sighed and said helplessly: "That's good, I will give up one percent of the shares, and you will account for sixty percent and I will account for forty percent in the future." ”
"I'm ninety percent and you're one percent. The Duke said with a blank face.
"I'm three, you're seven, the bottom line. Zhang Li showed a very flamboyant expression, and his movements seemed to be ready to leave at any time.
“...... Deal!" The Duke finally reluctantly agreed.
"That's good, but I have one more condition. ”
The duke's face instantly turned very bad: "What other conditions do you have?!"
"After listening to me, my conditions are not excessive, the condition is that I want to be the factory director, everything about this factory is up to me, you can make suggestions, but I may not take them, and you can't force meddle. ”
"Huh?" the Duke was about to get angry, but Zhang Li felt the feeling and continued: "After all, I came up with the idea of the factory, and who knows how the factory should be built except me?
..................
The so-called factory, that's just a reverie for the future, if soap can't be recognized by the public, Zhang Li's thirty percent of the shares are a joke.
However, he is confident, after all, this kind of thing has proven itself on the earth, and what Zhang Li has to do now is to make a batch of soap and sell it to those merchants who have traveled far away, so that they can bring it back, and when they come back next time, they will know whether this soap can be sold or not.
So, the duke asked those night watchmen to give Zhang Li a hand, anyway, these soldiers who had just experienced defeat had nothing to do, Althea wanted the night watchman troops to become a climate again, at least three or four years to recruit troops, these three or four years they had no special tasks except to help with the garrison.
With their help, Zhang Li succeeded in making thousands of pieces of soap in a short period of time, and persuaded some barefoot merchants to buy soap at a preferential price with his incorruptible tongue, and they would bring the soap to all parts of the Elwyn Forest, and then come back half a month later, at that time, Zhang Li and they would know whether the soap could open up the market, and the Duke would decide whether to invest manpower and material resources to build this so-called factory.
In short, all Zhang Li can do now is wait, and the only thing he can do while waiting is to exercise his body, in order to be able to dance the dragon tooth dagger one day, he still has to practice.
However, there are always surprises in reality, and an unexpected visitor interrupts Zhang Li's workout plan.
"I said I can't tell what the spell is, can you stop bothering me?" Zhang Li said very politely, the guy in front of him was Duke Eberlock's spell advisor - Hogan Ferens.
This guy has been looking for him since Zhang Li commanded the night watchman to make soap, and has been sticking to him ever since.
"I don't have to talk about the shadow spell, in fact, I'm also interested in your power to turn yourself into an animal, if you can let me study it, maybe we can create a new magic course, I've already thought of the name, it's called the Transfiguration Spell, unlike the illusion of the Sheep Transformation, this is the real Transfiguration. Hogan smiled feverishly, the old man seemed to have found the meaning of life again.
"Well, even if I assist you in your research, what good will it do me?"
"Hey, hey, this is a feat that no one has done before!We're the pioneers of a new faction of spells! Our name will live on forever, isn't that good!?"
Zhang Lixin said that natural spells have long been thoroughly studied by the night elves, okay.
He said helplessly: "Do you know? Mr. Hogan, I am a very practical person, and I never care about those false names, so ...... I don't bother to care if future generations remember me! That has something to do with Lao Tzu!"
"But...... But ......"
"It's nothing, I'm too busy to deliver. ”
"Oh, damn it, so be it, can't I pay you?"
"Money? Hmph, I'll have that stuff soon. ”
"Then I will marry my daughter to you, my daughter is only thirty years old this year, and she just divorced her husband not long ago...... Hey, don't go! Wait, I'm not done, or I'll marry my granddaughter to you?"
"I would venture to ask, how old is your granddaughter?"
"Seven years old. ”
"Give me as far as I can!"
“......”
In the end, Zhang Li still became Hogan's research partner, and it was not Lori who moved him, but Hogan promised him that if he was willing to assist him in his research, he would teach Zhang Li arcane magic.
He cooperated with him for half a day of study, he taught him half a day of arcane magic, and his library was always open to Zhang Li.
Zhang Li couldn't resist the temptation of power.

"Whew~~~~!"
"Get out of here!" A fairy girl in the Valley of Thorns near the foot of the Twilight Forest struggled to force a werewolf back with a handsome glowing scythe in her hand.
The elf girl gasped for breath, she looked at the werewolves with a look of exhaustion in her eyes, and deep, deep dark circles under her eyes, but she did not dare to close her eyes, because whenever her eyes were closed, the fluorescence on the scythe would fade, and the werewolves would try to get close to her.
The werewolves seemed to be afraid of the scythe, but it was like a longing, and in short, they kept an eye on the elven girl, and if she showed the slightest flaw, they would show their fangs.
"Really...... It's almost gone......"
