Outside the Boxue Tower that day, the sales manager of Runwanjia Spirit Ware Factory did not buy the patent copyright of the portable lamp.

Although he rejected the other party, and the other party did not come to entangle him again, Duke did not hesitate to speculate on others with the greatest malice.

In case of the Runwanjia Spirit Weapon Factory, it really has to start a business war.

He's got to be prepared.

"Observation Tower Governor Clelinda, 3-Ring Arcane Mage; The head of the legal department of the Erudite Tower, Azgul, is also the Master of the 3rd Ring Ao...... The arcane mage behind the Runwanjia Spirit Artifact Factory is dominated by these two...... That's not a small scale. ”

Basically, the scale of Runwanjia Spirit Artifact Factory belongs to the same level as Shenjiao City Hotel.

In the face of a company of this size, Duke must challenge within the rules and be cautious in words and deeds, otherwise it will be quite troublesome if the other party finds a flaw.

"Of course."

"Now that the Giant of Light is still a baby, the other party may not really care, maybe when the Giant of Light grows to a certain size, it will attract the attention of the other party."

The next day, the R&D department of the Giant Spirit Artifact Company sent two sets of sample products of headlamps, miner's lamps and portable lamps.

All of them are skilled old craftsmen, handmade, and the texture is quite heavy.

"Practice makes perfect, and this polishing skill is much better than mine." Duke sighed, picked up one of the headlamps and miner's lamps, and walked out of the office.

knocked on the door of the office next door.

"Lord Duke." Kiria's assistant Keith opened the door, "Please come in, what's the matter with you?" ”

"Is Kiria here, I'm looking for her for something."

"Yes, I'll go and inform Miss." The area where Gis is located is outside the office, so she has to go through a door to see Kiria.

Soon Kiria invited Duke into the office inside: "It's rare to see you coming, Duke, coffee or tea?" ”

"I didn't need to, I just drank a stomach." Duke didn't ink, and directly put the things in his hand on the table, "I opened a company by myself, the Giant of Light Spirit Artifact Company, these are the products that my company is about to go on the market, I'll give them to you to take a look." ”

"Did you still start your own company?" Kyria was a little surprised, in her eyes Duke was an image of being single-minded academically and not caring about the world.

"Work blindly and earn some living expenses." Duke smiled and took out the headlamp and miner's lamp to demonstrate, "This is the main lamp of my company, the headlamp is mainly worn on the head, and you can free your hands when you work at night, which is especially convenient for working in the mine." ”

The miner's lamp is similar, but there are more ways to fix the miner's lamp, which can be carried, carried, hung, and worn.

"These two lamps and lanterns are definitely necessary for going down, and the mines of Xibi Diling Mining Company in the local area may be considered."

Kilia listened to Duke's pitch, reached out and stroked the wavy blonde hair in her ear, and said, "So you are here to sell me products, I think these two lamps are very interesting, but I have never been in contact with the family business." ”

"Haha, it's okay, it's just for you to give it a try, if you think it's good, when you see the managers of Xibidi, just mention it casually."

Duke gave Kiria a lamp, in line with the principle of having dates and not hitting a pole.

After all, the Nutao family is the largest shareholder of Xibidiling Mining Company, and at the same time, the Nutao family has many minerals in the region, which can use headlamps and mining lamps.

As the new arcane mage of the Angry Tao family, Kiriya will sooner or later come into contact with these businesses, or the clansmen who manage them.

With that, Duke introduced the portable lamp again.

This portable lamp is built-in, small and delicate and looks cool: "If the headlamp and miner's lamp are all needed for work, then this portable lamp, I think even Kiriya you will need, with a built-in storage card, which can be charged anytime and anywhere." ”

"It's really convenient." Kyria took the portable lamp and shone it around, "It's much easier than carrying the Spirit Lamp." ”

"You turn the lamphead, yes, that's the position." Duke said.

Kyria turned the lamp head, and suddenly found that the pillar of light illuminated by the portable lamp was no longer straight, but spread.

A look of surprise appeared on the pretty face.

While admiring, Duke explained: "The adjustable aperture allows the portable lamp to take into account both long-distance lighting and close-range lighting, and adjusts it according to your needs, whether you are walking at night or waking up at night, I believe it is better than the spirit lamp." ”

After a pause, Duke added, "It's daytime, the effect isn't very obvious yet, you can wait until the evening to try again." ”

"I can already feel the benefits of it, and it's truly an amazing invention." "I'll keep all these lamps for a try, and if I have the chance, I'll recommend them to the family." ”

"Thank you, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"You're too polite, a gesture."

Without much conversation, Duke politely took his leave.

Replaced by the self in his previous life, Duke will definitely talk cheekily when he sees the beauty he likes. But this is not the interest in this life, compared to the study of spiritual mysteries, and doing business to make money, beauty can only rank third.

Gis sent Duke out of the office, and when she returned, she saw Kiria fiddling with her headlamp, and couldn't help but say, "I really looked away, thinking that Lord Duke would be like Leadman's assistant, focusing on academic research." ”

"It's normal, Duke is an arcane mage from the bottom, and he has more urgent needs to improve his life."

"Miss, do you think anyone will buy this kind of lamp?"

"Definitely, the inventor's idea is good, you see, after putting this headlamp on the head, completely free of hands." Kiria put the headlamp on her big wavy blonde hair, and her elegant image was completely destroyed by the headlamp, but it had a little more life.

"It's not nice to wear it." Gies said.

"Ordinary people probably wouldn't mind, but if I had to choose, I would choose to wear it at night."

Taking off the headlamp, Kiria continued, "Aunt Ghis, you help me put it away, and I'll give it to my father when I get back." ”

"Miss, you are so friendly to your colleagues and willing to help them sell their products." Ghiss praised.

"But it's really convenient, isn't it, and I think it does make the job more efficient." Kiriya said matter-of-factly, "And look at this portable lamp, it can really replace the spirit lamp, and when it is on the market, I suggest that Aunt Jisi buy one too." ”

"If it's your suggestion, Miss, I'll buy it."

……

The other side.

In the spirit of having dates and not dates, Duke asked Mulali to go to the Erudite Tower and make an appointment to visit Erwin.

Kiria is just a spare tire, and Duke doesn't really believe that a little girl from a big aristocratic family can dictate the family business. You must know that the Earl Nutao family has been divided into many branches, and the bloodline between each branch has long been weak.

Duke's real hopes were for Elwin.

This earth mage, who really has the title of polymath, can really see the value of portable lamps and headlamps, and then he has enough authority to promote the purchase of the Xibi Diling Mining Company.

"But then again, Erwin has a lot of opportunities, can this little business be put in his eyes?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can praise him, it's worth it."

In the afternoon, Mulari returned from the Erudite Tower, bringing an appointment message: "Lord Erwin is not in the Tower of Boxue, his secretary will help you communicate the reservation request, and you need to wait until Lord Erwin returns to confirm the time." ”

"Then wait." Duke nodded.

Then he said: "Go back and ask your aunt to go to Snakehead Town and talk to your father about the procurement needs of Snakehead Town." ”

The products of the Giant Spirit Artifact Company of Light have already had major customers before they were listed.

At least the snake head town under the rule of the Black Snake family will provide orders as soon as possible, and You's clothing company will also purchase a batch of lamps.

"My mother has written to me that my father has been in contact and that the family will support the Giant of Light as much as possible."

"The Black Snake family is my close comrade-in-arms."

Duke pinched Mulali's face with some emotion, and then felt that the hand didn't seem to feel as good as before.

The Black Snake family doesn't know if it's because of the bloodline, and most of the female members are melon seed faces.

Pretty is pretty, but not enough meat.

"I don't know what it's like to pinch Kiriya Nutao's slightly baby-fat face." The thought flashed through him, and he was thrown out by Duke.

After work, the shuttle walks through the streets and alleys.

Every day, Duke asks the driver Royce to speed along different streets and browse the cultural scenery of the entire Shenjiao City, instead of following a fixed route and repeating the same scenery countless times.

Suddenly.

Duke saw a familiar figure in the streets and alleys.

"Stop!"

The shuttle stopped, and Duke looked out the window, but there was no familiar figure in the streets.

"What's wrong, sir?" Mulali didn't know why.

"Nothing." Duke shook his head and rolled the window back up, thinking that maybe he was too dazzled to care.

The shuttle spewed out a stream of air and sped off again.

When the shuttle disappeared without a trace, in the shop in the small alley, two people, an old man and a young man, stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the street where there was no shuttle.

"Grandpa, why are you hiding?"

"Because grandpa met an acquaintance, but he was embarrassed to meet him." The old man shook his head and pulled his grandson back to his neighborhood quickly.

The view of the community is good, they are all townhouses.

When the grandson came home, he shouted: "Today grandpa met an acquaintance and was sitting on a shuttle!" The shuttle is handsome, can we afford it? ”

"Sitting on the shuttle?" The old man's son raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly, "Dad, among the people you know, the only one who can drive a shuttle is Master Duke, right?" ”

"Your dad and I know a lot of big people!"

"Come on, what kind of cowhide do you always brag about with your son, you have been running a card repair shop in Snakehead Town for half your life, and I am afraid that Master Ao has never seen a few."

"Humph!"

"Tell your son, isn't it Lord Duke?"

The old man was the original owner of the little Sam Shuka shop, old Sam, who sighed when he heard this, and only responded after a while: "It's Duke." ”

"Hey, why don't you say hello to him, what's wrong with meeting and saying hello, that's Master Aom!" The son had a look of chagrin on his face, "You don't want to let you go to him, it's always okay to meet him on the road!" ”

"You know what!" Old Sam scolded.

"Why don't I understand, didn't you just earn a patent money from him, he's a master of the arcane, and he still cares about this?"

"Ask for face, you, I feel ashamed of Duke, I sold 1,500 gold dragons with the pulp technology, and only then did we have this big house like a townhouse." Old Sam shook his head, "I gave him ten golden dragons and sent him away." ”

"I know that...... But what's wrong with 10 Golden Dragons, didn't you say that he only needed 5 Golden Dragons at that time, you doubled it for him, it's not enough, it's also your ability to earn more and earn less, didn't you even give it to him in the card repair shop. ”

"I've earned my skills, but I owe my conscience."

Old Sam ignored his son and said to himself: "I can't wait to buy a big house in Shenjiao City when I get the money, and I also bought a house for your sister, and then I will use the money to do business for you. ”

He looked at his son and said in a solemn tone: "If Duke had stayed in Serpent's Head Town for the rest of his life, nothing would have happened, but he is now a master of the arcane mage...... You say, I took his patent with 10 gold dragons, what will he think? ”

The son muttered, "Isn't that what he wants to sell?" ”

"He was willing to buy it, and he didn't look for me again after being promoted to Arcane Master, but if I really saw him, would I have to take out the money?" Old Sam hated that iron could not become steel, "Master Ao's money, you dare to earn it?" Lack of greed, you! ”

The son shrank his head and sneered, "Isn't that enough?" Our family's money has been spent, where can we get it......"

"So, you just do your small business honestly, don't always think about clinging to the powerful, what is your identity, what is my identity, I can be qualified to cling to the powerful!"

"Alas, but Dad, this is the only chance for our family!"

"Don't shout by chance, what you have to do now is to bless Duke to go higher and higher, to a height where we can't see our backs, and then completely forget about me, the old guy who made his money, so that our family's money can be kept."

After old Sam finished speaking, the whole person lay on the sofa a little tired.

His voice sighed in a low voice: "How can I know that Duke was really promoted to Armage, and when I praised him for his polymath talent, I really praised him for it......"

……

Duke had long forgotten about old Sam.

Although he has always been grateful to old Sam in his heart.

But old Sam didn't give him the address in the city, and he understood what the other party meant.

So when Shuttle passed by the alley, he saw a figure similar to old Sam's back, and he just stopped to take a look, and didn't get out of the car to look for it.

But it also gave him another idea.

When he successfully made an appointment with Elwin Earth Arc, when he went to the Erudite Tower, he asked the exclusive guide to help him check it out. "Continuous supply and slurry technology...... Okay, I'll help you find similar patented technology. ”

Duke then entered Erwin's office.

Erwin has his own Mage Tower, but as the chief director of the Erudite Tower, he basically stays in the Erudite Tower all year round.

"Lord Elwin."

"Sit." Erwin still looked like a kind old man, "Why do you want to meet me, do you want to come to work in the Erudite Tower?" ”

"I haven't thought about it yet, I met you today, I am a latecomer, and I want to ask you, a naturalist old-timer, for advice."

"Oh, what do you ask?"

"The lamp I invented." Duke took out a few samples such as portable lamps and headlamps, "With your vision, you can point out to me, these lamps have no market value, can they sink to the bottom of the people, and seek one or two well-being for the people?" ”

The purpose of the Erudite Tower is to disseminate the results of the spiritual arcane realm to the lower levels of society.

Duke is putting a layer of skin on the lamp so that it can be tied up from a moral level.

"I've read your patent, combined with these lamps and lanterns you brought, you can see that it has a certain value, and it should be able to sink to the bottom of the people." Erwin played with the lamp carefully and came to his conclusion, "There's a big deal." ”

Duke was pleased: "I opened a company, the Giant of Light Spirit Artifact Company, which specializes in producing all kinds of lamps and lanterns to bring light to the people at the bottom. ”

"That's a good thing."

"So, if you think these lamps are good, maybe Xibi Diling Mining Company can purchase a batch to pass on the signal, and it is also convenient to quickly promote this kind of lamps to the bottom of the society." Duke continued to carry the banner of benefiting the people.

Erwin smiled without saying a word, and after a moment narrowed his eyes, he said, "You little doll, your brain is quite flexible, and the ideas have hit me." ”

"My lord, you are the lighthouse of the naturalism of Heijiaohedi, and I am interested in making a career in the naturalism, so I naturally want to get your guidance."

Erwin has long been immune to this level of sycophancy.

did not answer positively, but said with a smile: "As long as the lamps are really valuable, I believe that ordinary people will make the right choice, I have lived on the tower for too long...... Of course, I'll say hi to the purchasing department at Hybpidi. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Duke knew that he was stable: "Thank you, sir!" ”

"You are a promising young man, you must continue to work hard in the field of naturalism, and after graduation, there will be a place for you in the Erudite Tower."

"I will."

Satisfied with the results, Duke did not delay Erwin any longer, and quickly got up to take his leave and leave the Tower of Erudite.

After getting into the flying car, he instructed his entourage Andrei: "Go back to the Giant of Light, and tell the people in the Propaganda Department that Lord Erwin is full of praise for the portable lamp series products, and ask them to summarize a propaganda plan and give it to me." ”

"Yes, sir." Andrei replied.

Back at Penrose Mage Tower, Duke walked around the progress of the group's experiments before returning to his office to continue his research on the Psionic Wave and the Slide Card.

At the same time, I took the time to practice making 1 ring arcane card - arcane shield.

"Xiaoyi, the progress is getting faster and faster, and we can already draw two-thirds of the part, and if we work hard, let's try to take it down within two weeks."

"Xiaoyi has been working hard, please also work hard with Xiaoyi, success is not far from us."

"The way you talk is getting more and more like a normal person."

"There's still a lot of room for improvement." Xiaoyi responded that as a nine-ring-level arcane weapon, it has great potential, but it is limited by Duke's hardware and can't keep up.

With Duke's promotion to Arcane Master, Xiaoyi's computing power and human-computer interaction ability are rapidly improving.

Busy until the end of work.

After returning to the villa, Morris butler came over: "Master, the balance on the family spirit dragon card is no longer enough for this month's expenses." ”

"If you don't have any money, I'll transfer it to you." Duke pulled out his personal Spirit Dragon card.

He opened three Spirit Dragon Cards by himself.

A personal spirit caron was carried with him, storing most of his personal possessions; A public account Linglong card is kept by Mula Li, who is responsible for all kinds of expenses when going out; A family dragon card is kept by Morris and is responsible for the expenses of the villa.

Swipe each other's dragon cards.

Duke transferred 200 gold dragons to cover the expenses for these two months.

However, when I took back the private spirit dragon card, I glanced at the balance on it, and there was only less than 100 gold dragons left.

"The balance on the Linglong card of the public account is not much...... The expenses are too great these days. Duke became a little depressed.

The shuttle was bought in installments and has not been repaid yet.

The chick yells to eat spirit crystals every day, and a piece of spirit crystal costs 25 golden dragons.

The expenses of the knight guard, the expenses of the Broken Sword mercenary group, the expenses of the entourage, and the entertainment expenses among the arcane mages are all frantically overdrawing his spirit dragon card.

"If it weren't for the fact that I could get some experimental consumables from Penrose's Mage Tower, I would be so poor that I wouldn't even be able to do experiments now!"

"I didn't pay the cost of the giant of light, I relied on the 2400 gold dragons invested by the three companies to maintain it, and I may have to invest a sum of money to expand the scale of production in the future."

At last.

He grabbed the hair of his sideburns: "Gotta make some quick money!" ”

However, there were not many places to make quick money, so he quickly sent a letter to the head of the Broken Sword Mercenary Regiment with the Postman Owl.

In the letter, he asked Zina to collect the damaged 3-ring spirit card in Snake Head Town.

"Go back to your old business and fix your card!" It was Duke's decision, and he was better at repairing cards than any card maker.

Some of the badly damaged 3-ring cards may be helpless by the card maker himself.

But after Xiaoyi's calculations, there may still be a glimmer of hope for repair, and this hope is the guarantee for him to make money.

Xena's response was quick.

On the third day, she personally rushed to Shenjiao City to meet Duke: "My lord, your letter is really timely, the number of spirit beasts around Cuihai Valley has surged recently, and the major mercenary groups can't help it and hunt in the direction of Cuihai Valley again." ”

"Aren't you afraid of the black jade horseshoe crab dragon?"

"Maybe I think that if I don't provoke the black jade scorpion, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon will not show up, after all, the black jade horseshoe crab dragon has never appeared in the past year or two." Xena shook her head, "Mercenaries are the ones who lick blood on the tip of a knife, and no one wants to sit and eat nothing. ”

"I see."

"After I got your letter, I went around the mercenary groups and successfully received seven broken 3-ring arcane cards."

Xena pulled out seven Arcane Cards.

Duke took it in his hand, checked it slightly, and through Xiaoyi's quick calculation, he determined that four of them had been completely destroyed.

"These four spirit cards can't be repaired, I'll give the remaining three a try." Duke instructed, "Go back after eating here at noon, and continue to collect cards after you go back, continue to collect 3-ring arcane cards, and some valuable 2-ring arcane cards can also be collected, don't accept those that are too cheap." ”

As a card maker, almost no one wants to continue in the card repair business.

Duke can afford to put down his worth, but an ordinary 2-ring arcane card, one is only worth tens or hundreds of golden dragons, and it is estimated that he can only earn a fraction of the money by repairing the card, which is a waste of time for him.

"I understand, I'll increase my efforts to collect cards when I go back." Zina said happily.

Receiving, repairing, and selling cards was a money-making plan she had planned a long time ago, but after Duke was promoted to Arcane, he didn't have much time to repair cards.

She continued: "You repair high-end cards, and the little Sam repair card shop repairs low-end cards, and the card repair industry is basically in the hands of our broken sword." Until the end of the Cuihai Valley Pioneering War, this industry will be very profitable. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to make money...... I'm a little tight on money now, I just opened a spirit weapon company, the investment is relatively large, and I can almost achieve financial freedom in a year and a half. ”

Duke explained why he fixed the card.

Then he said: "You continue to develop and grow and break the sword, and when the company is on the right track, money is not a problem." There are a lot of spiritual materials in Cuihai Valley, which are urgently needed for my next research, and it is best not to delay, this will affect my research. ”

"Sir, please send us the list of materials, and we will look for it for you at any time."

"I'll send it when I need it."

Ryucina had lunch at the villa.

In the afternoon, Duke took advantage of the weekend to ride the spirit horse he had bought, and took Levine to Duke James Farm.

"Levin, you take a little pocket and white gloves and walk around the farm." Duke patted Levine on the shoulder.

Levine, a big silly man, is like family in his mind.

Usually Levine is always bored at home, and whenever he has the opportunity, Duke will take Levine out with him to let him relax.

"Sir, can I untie the collar of the white glove?" Levine asked.

The White Glove is a four-eared hound, and it is also the only one brought into the city among the four-eared hounds raised in the countryside at the beginning.

"Of course, it's fun."

"Hmm!"

Levin unfastened the collar of his white gloves and ran towards the farm, and Xiaodou had already been familiar with Levin and ran into the farm together.

Duke rode a spirit horse and joined up with Vivian, the captain of the guard knights: "Vivian, I will also "Imperial Dragoon Lance", let me practice with the escort team, and let go of the restraints and gallop in the bushes in the suburbs!" ”
