Chapter Eighty-Eight: "Wood Carving" Douglas
Casio has been very busy during this time, not only urging everyone to speed up the construction and mining of the mine, but also preparing for the upcoming war. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
So when he met Douglas again with a haggard face, Dogs clearly misunderstood something, and asked him to mourn and pay attention to his body.
Casio smiled, not in the mood to correct Douglas's misunderstanding.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, did you call me over today, is there something you wanted?" Douglas asked knowingly.
Because Casio directly informed him and asked him to come by means of location teleportation.
Douglas didn't want to pay attention to Casio's request to use the high-cost method of positioning teleportation to meet him, but in the end, he thought that he had borrowed a large amount of money from Casio, so he had to use the positioning teleportation again and hurried over.
What if it's late and Casio doesn't pay back?
Faced with the question that Douglas asked knowingly, Casio smiled: "Your Excellency Douges, I want to talk to you about a business today. ”
As soon as he heard this, Douglas immediately shook his hand and said, "Your Royal Highness, please forgive me for taking the liberty of borrowing money, if I borrow money, I really can't do anything." After all, I'm only the head of a small city, and there's a limit to how much I can transfer. ”
Faced with Doggs's frightened bird-like actions, Casio smiled helplessly, and could only interrupt the other party: "Your Excellency Dauges, don't worry, I want to talk to you about a profitable business, not to borrow money from you." ”
"Really?" said Douglas, skeptically.
To be honest, Douglas has not had the experience of making money directly from Casio since he came into contact with Casio. Either bought the other party's recipe or borrowed a large amount of money.
If it weren't for Casio's still a vein, Douglas really wouldn't dare to lend money to Casio.
"I'll just get it straight, because I've been busy lately, and I've been using parchment a lot. So I thought about inventing a new type of paper, no, I just recently came out, and I wanted to ask Mr. Douglas to see if this kind of paper can be turned into money. ”
As he spoke, Casio took out a stack of pale yellow paper that he had prepared and placed it in front of Douglas.
At first, Douglas thought that Casio was going to borrow money from him in this way and make some kind of investment. But when Casio put the paper directly in front of him, he realized that His Royal Highness the prince had already made the finished product.
Douglas's eyes lit up when he saw the smooth pale yellow paper on the table, and then he picked up a piece of paper and felt it carefully.
Subsequently, with Casio's consent, Douglas wrote some words on the paper with a quill pen to test the specific properties of the paper.
After this monitoring, Douglas already had obvious shock on his face, looked at Casio and asked, "Your Royal Highness, this is your invention?"
Casio shook his head: "To be precise, this was invented by me and my alchemist. ”
Rather than ask who the alchemist was, Douglas instinctively continued, "What kind of material is this made of?" ”
After Douglas asked, he found that Casio was smiling and silent, and he realized that he was a little abrupt, how could someone else's formula tell him at will.
Putting down the paper in his hand, Douglas took a deep breath, calmed down the shock and excitement in his heart, looked at Casio's eyes and said, "Your Royal Highness, this new type of paper has many advantages, but it has the same disadvantages as traditional parchment. So, can I know how much it costs?"
Douglas's words obviously want to balance the advantages and disadvantages of the two from the cost.
"This new type of paper is about 15-20 copper coins. Casio said with a smile.
Hearing this, Douglas frowned, obviously making the same mistake as Dain's and them, mistakenly thinking that it was the cost of a piece of paper.
"Your Royal Highness, the advantages of this new type of paper are indeed obvious. But if it's the cost, there's no advantage at all!" Douglas, a businessman, almost instantly compared the price of parchment with that of a new type of paper.
Casio shook his head with a wicked smile: "Your Excellency Dauges, I think you misunderstood, when I say cost, I mean a catty, not a one!"
"What? how is that possible?" said Douglas, who almost jumped up from his seat, looking incredulous.
Seeing Casio's indifferent smile, Douglas reacted that there was really no need for the other party to deceive him on this issue, and immediately laughed embarrassedly.
Regarding Dougels's fierce reaction, Casio smiled faintly, he had expected it. The reason why papermaking can be popularized, light and easy to carry is only an advantage, and the fundamental reason why it can become the progress of civilization is its low price.
"Your Royal Highness, if this new type of paper is really as cheap as you say. Then I can tell you without hesitation that it has replaced the traditional paper of the entire continent after all and has become the new standard for all papers!"
Speaking of this, Douggs's always calm heart couldn't help but tremble, if it really replaced the paper of the entire continent, it would be an unimaginable absolute wealth!
"I know. Casio's expression was calm, which made Douglas, who wanted to see the shock from Casio, a little depressed.
At the same time, it also made him more curious, what kind of city and mind can make this prince His Royal Highness still so calm in the face of such unimaginable wealth.
"Then Your Royal Highness, how would you like to work with us?" Douglas looked at Casio eagerly.
If Casio just asked them to sell this new paper on their behalf, although there would be a lot of profit in it, it would be far from being a stake in it.
"Lord Douglas, don't be in a hurry. Before discussing the direction of cooperation, I have one more thing to show you. ”
"And?"
"Of course, this is no less than the invention of a new type of paper. But before that, I need you to sign a non-disclosure agreement, because this new invention is relatively easy to imitate. ”
Hearing this, Douglas became even more curious about what could be compared to a new type of paper, and could be imitated just by looking at it.
To satisfy his curiosity, Douglas immediately signed his name on a non-disclosure agreement that Casio had brought out, and swore an oath to his god of commerce and trade as a witness.
A Gurea's non-disclosure agreement is more than just a document, when two parties sign a non-disclosure agreement and use the name of a deity as a witness, then the agreement is monitored and witnessed by the deity.
If one party wants to break the agreement, then what awaits him will be punishment from the gods, and death will be terrifying!
After confirming that there was no problem with the agreement, Casio took out the movable type printing that he had prepared long ago and demonstrated it in front of Douglas.
When Casio finished his demonstration, Douglas was already like a wood carving, staring at the paper and movable type printing on the table in a daze, without even blinking an eye.
Casio smiled and sat quietly in his seat, waiting for Douglas to come to his senses.
