"Your Excellency Chabek, if you don't do it for me, I ask to see Lord Erwin, and I want to complain to Lord Erwin!"

Duke said loudly at the door of the office of the head of the corporate department of the Boxue Tower.

Let the whole hallway be heard.

"Lord Duke!" Chabeck looked helpless, "It's useless for you to make noise with me, for Runwanjia's infringement compensation, we are further verifying the statistics with Runwanjia Spirit Weapon Factory, and when the statistics are completed, we will naturally urge them to pay as soon as possible." ”

"I don't agree with your work attitude, you are covering up Runwanjia, knowing that the Giant of Light and Runwanjia are competing in business, but you are not doing anything about Runwanjia's improper gains, this is a very serious dereliction of duty!"

Duke said, and then turned and walked out of the door, "I'm going to see Lord Elwin, and ask Lord Chief Governor to do justice for me." ”

Chapek, who is also a Master of the 1st Ring of Austria, slapped his forehead helplessly: "Your Excellency Duke, I have made it very clear, if you really want to see Lord Erwin, then you can ask for a hand, by the way, you need to make an appointment to see Lord Erwin." ”

"Then I'll go find Lord Azgul."

"You need to make an appointment to see Lord Azgul, and besides, Lord Azgul has been instructed that she doesn't want to see you."

"Why?" Duke said incredulously, "I haven't even seen her yet!" ”

"I don't know, anyway, Lord Azgul has given a notice that no one in the Erudite Tower is allowed to bring you into her office floor."

"It's discrimination!"

Duke shivered coldly.

It was clear that he was the victim of the infringement case, but as a result, as the head of the legal department, Azgul not only did not comfort the victim, but even did not allow the victim to see her.

"Your Excellency Chabek, you must speak up for me, Lord Azgul discriminated against me, I think she was tired of and made improper profits in the case of Runwanjia's infringement of the Giant of Light!" Duke said righteously, "I hope you can report this illegal behavior to Lord Erwin!" ”

Chabeck rolled his eyes a few times in a row: "I said Duke, everyone is a 1-ring arcane mage, why should you be difficult for me." What's wrong with you, can't you go to Lord Azgul, I'm really already enforcing the law impartially, and all the processes are in accordance with the procedures! ”

Duke smiled: "Isn't it like I can't see Lord Azgul." ”

"Then I can't help it!"

"You can't help it, I can't help it, Runwanjia has made it clear that he wants to kill my company, can I not stand up? Lord Azgul is the director and shareholder of Runwanjia, and I think she has a disgraceful behavior in this matter, so I must make a fuss and let her retreat! ”

Anyway, infighting is forbidden between the mages, and their personal safety is absolutely protected by the Seven Towers Federation, and Duke doesn't mind jumping a little by himself.

Besides, there are people behind him.

Sukhtara and Penrose are both his teachers and mentors, and they are both 3-ring mages, and they are not afraid of the embarrassment of Clelinda and Azgul.

"But you're not messing with her, you're messing with me!" Chabeck was speechless.

Duke walked into the office, closed the door by the way, and said with a smile: "Dissipate your anger, I will be the east at night, and invite you to drink at the Shenjiao City Hotel, I will be a frequent visitor to the Erudite Tower in the future, and there will be more opportunities for us to deal with each other." ”

"Ah, you're still going to make trouble?"

"Get down to business!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course." Duke narrowed his eyes and smiled, he was going to apply for a patent application for a strong hand lamp in front of Erwin.

The main hit is a surprise, and sensational.

Now while the vigorous business war, he personally came to make trouble, all in order to paralyze Klelinda and Azgul.

Then the strong light hand lamp was promoted to the market, and the light lamp of Runwanjia was directly crushed into slag.

"Gone, Lord Chapek." Sensing that the heat was almost over, Duke took his leave and left the office of the head of the corporate department.

However, he did not leave the Erudite Tower, but took Mulali with him, and walked around the crowded floor again.

If you have the opportunity, go to the office of the Arcane Master who works in the Boxue Tower, talk to them about the lawsuit between the Giant of Light and Runwanjia, and scold a few words about Runwanjia if he loses the lawsuit and does not lose money, in short, he wants to use this matter to make Runwanjia's reputation stink.

"Sir, it's getting dark, and the Erudite Tower will be off work soon, are we still doing it here?" Mulali asked quietly.

"What's the matter, do you think it's a bit embarrassing for your husband and me to do this?"

"No, sir, you're doing what is right."

"It's good to have this awareness, Xiao Lili, remember that evil does not prevail over good, as long as we adhere to justice, we can be invincible." Duke said with a big grin, "You see that many arcane mages are higher than me, but when I look for them, who is not polite to me except for avoiding them?" ”

"Looks like it."

"It's because they feel guilty in their hearts and know that some arcane mages are not authentic in this matter, so they will politely tolerate me."

After a twist, Duke continued: "Of course, this degree must be grasped well, otherwise it will really provoke a few high-level arcane mages, and they will not be able to eat and walk around. ”

The mages aren't all good-natured gentlemen, Duke really wants to provoke them, and he will definitely not kill them, but it is very likely that he will reward a few big pockets.

When it comes to fighting to the death, Duke is invincible within 1 ring, and he can find a chance to kill him in 2 rings, and he may be weak in the face of 3 rings.

However, the Federation of the Seven Towers attaches extraordinary importance to the safety of the arcane mage.

Duke didn't dare to draw his gun at the Armage, even in the wilderness and no man's land, he didn't dare to draw his gun against the Armage. Once shot, no matter how they cover it up, it will leave a mark on the spiritual level, and then it will be detected by the High Arcane in extraordinary means.

According to the official records of the Federation of the Seven Towers, no registered arcane master was killed and could not find out who the murderer was, even if the murderer was the arcane master of the 7 rings, he was found out and executed.

The self-mutilation between the mages, the result of the judgment is to fight for life.

As for the mage killing ordinary people, even the monks of the Three Seas such as the Spirit Planter Envoy and the Great Knight would hardly be guilty of death, and at most they would be severely punished.

Master Ruoao is really heinous, and he will first be removed from the Faling Pagoda and lose the protection of the Federation.

At that time, if you are killed, you will be killed, or you will leave the territory of the Federation and go into hiding.

For example, Baines, whom Duke had seen in the Forest Cabin before, was removed from the Faling Tower because of his research on forbidden experiments. In order to escape the punishment of the Federation, and in order to avoid the pursuit of the enemy, he had to run to the forest and live in seclusion until he died of old age in the wilderness.

"Sir, you have a good grasp of people's hearts." Mulali let out an inexplicable exclamation.

"Generally average, federal third." Duke rubbed his little assistant's shoulder-length hair, "Let's go, we'll get off work when others get off work." ”

I saw Duke and his party leave.

A staff member of the Erudite Tower hurriedly sat on the spiritual ladder, went straight to the office floor of Azgul, knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Your Excellency, Lord Duke is gone."

"Whew." Azgul's beautiful face was obviously relieved, and then he gritted his teeth and greeted, "This hillbilly is finally gone, how can there be such a shameless person in the world!" ”

She is a dignified 3-ring mage, the head of the legal department of the Erudite Tower, and the entire commercial disputes in the Black Jiaohe Land are under her management.

Don't lose face!

As a result, Duke was blocked in the tower, and she went around preaching that she had colluded with Clelinda, and used Runwanjia to suppress dissidents, bully the market, and owe money......

Although this is true, this is the usual style of the Arcane Mage.

All walks of life are basically controlled by the arcane mage, and there is no room for ordinary people to participate in the competition, and all resources are in the hands of the arcane mage.

Runwanjia, like any company, is a tool for the arcane master to collect money.

But for the sake of social harmony, we must cover up the ugly food.

This was suddenly exposed, and after all, there was no light on the face.

"My lord, the next time Lord Duke comes, you should send someone to drive him away, otherwise he will always be ruined here...... Ruining the reputation of Runwanjia is not a solution. The secretary gave advice to Azgul, "Do you want to instruct the discipline department to not allow idle people to walk around in the tower next time?" ”

"What's the point of covering your ears and stealing the bell." Azgul stood up and took two irritated steps around her office.

Then he looked at his secretary: "You say, Duke's move, is it because the giant of light can't bear it, or is it deliberately to disgust me?" ”

"This ...... My lord, I really can't say, but with the financial resources of Runwanjia, this business competition will definitely be won. Moreover, Lord Clelinda has greeted the surrounding cities, and the spiritual lamp will definitely be able to defeat the portable lamp and occupy a dominant position in the market. ”

"Is that enough?" Azgul shook her head, "I think it's hard to say, Duke also has someone behind him, that Suktara, doesn't she already regard Duke as his successor, she can support a little financial resources casually, and the Giant of Light can live." ”

After a pause, Azgul sighed and said: "If the infringing money is not given, it can only delay the defeat of Runwanjia, this commercial competition, there is no victory, alas! ”

She felt that Clelinda was already demonic, and she had to fight a game with little chance of winning.

In the past, the spirit weapon company from other cities entered Shenjiao City, and Runwanjia could rely on the home battle to get the unanimous support of the local mage, fight with the other party, and then win.

But this time, it's the internal rolling.

The other party is not a simple 1-ring arcane mage, but a high-profile genius arcane mage, who has found a backer early.

"In the final analysis, Runwanjia failed to hold the patent!"

Azgul could see very clearly that even if the Giant of Light was defeated, it would be harmless to Duke, and he would still be able to live on royalties.

So Duke can fight to the end, and losing is nothing more than losing the shell of a giant of light.

"But can Runwanjia afford to lose, the company is huge, but there are very few real patents, and most of them are agency rights. And agency is the most unreliable, as soon as the time comes, we will have to face new competition, and when the giant of light takes a firm foothold, it will definitely participate in the agency competition! ”

At that time.

The giant of light can encroach on the market of Runwanjia step by step.

"My lord, the Giant of Light also has only one patent for a portable lamp, how can Runwanjia be afraid to compete with the agent of the Giant of Light."

"It's just one now, but with Duke, who knows how many there will be in the future." Azgul shook her head slightly, "There is no need for more, a few more patents similar to portable lamps, and the Giant of Light will be able to stand on its feet completely and cannot be knocked down." ”

Speaking of this, Azgul suddenly sneered: "This hillbilly has just joined the dining table in Shenjiao City, and it seems that he has found the right goal, to replace Runwanjia!" ”

The basic plate of Shenjiao City is so big.

If you can't open up new markets, then you can only grab other people's markets, and now it seems that Runwanjia has become the object of Duke's robbery.

Azgul knocked on the table: "The ambition is really not small! ”

"Adult ......"

"I've decided to accompany Klelinda to go crazy, tell Runwanjia over there, and fully cooperate with the arrangement to stop the Giant of Light!"

"Yes."

……

Before you know it, it's the New Year's Day.

In the year 4413 of the Storm Calendar, Duke is about to turn eighteen years old in the year 4414.

"Cheers, Sensei!"

Duke sent the rest of the attendants back to reunite with his family, including Mulari and Vivien, while he stayed at the Sukhtara Mage Tower.

Just in time for the holiday with the teacher.

"Cheers, Duke." Sukhtara smiled.

In previous years, she celebrated the New Year with the Su clan, but now that the Mage Tower and the castle have been reorganized, a large part of the Su clan has been dismantled and driven away, and only a small number are still living in the castle.

The lively atmosphere of the New Year's Festival is certainly not as good as in previous years, but this year she is happy and satisfied from the bottom of her heart.

Put down your glass.

Sukhtara smiled: "Child, today's New Year's Day, there will be no class after eating, you can accompany me for a walk in the castle." ”

"Okay, teacher."

After eating, the old man and the young walked on the walls of the castle.

The walls were so clean that there was not a trace of dust, and outside the walls were covered with snow, and it had only snowed yesterday.

Both of them are arcane mages, and their psionic energy is concentrated throughout their bodies, and they don't feel the slightest chill on a bitterly cold afternoon. As for the retinue and guards in the castle, they were far away and did not dare to come and disturb the two.

"It's a new year again, and the teacher is a year older."

"But your spirit is still young."

"You kid, your mouth is so sweet, but the teacher is already one hundred and sixty-one years old, and the fog of exploring the spiritual arcane is already slim, and I don't know how many years there are left to live." Sukhtara was able to face death calmly, "Anyway, I will try my best to teach you for the next few years." ”

"I will not disappoint your expectations, teacher."

"I don't have too many expectations, speaking of which, I've been talking about the ring copy material, how can it not be a trace of magic in my heart."

Sukhtara reminisced about the past for a while, and said quietly: "Do you know where my demonic obstacle came from? ”

"Please let the teacher know." Duke said.

"I had a short marriage of only ten years, but it affected my whole life." Sukhtara looked at the snow-capped forest in the distance, "Vincent, it's my husband, he's an excellent 1-ring mage. ”

At that time, Sukhtara had just been promoted to arcane mage.

With the help of their elders, they married Vincent, and after their marriage, both of them were busy exploring the spiritual mysteries, but the sweetness was never lost.

"Vincent chose to become an alchemist, and I followed suit, and we studied in the same mage tower."

"Actually, the teacher didn't like to delve into spiritual arcane, hehe, at that time, I just wanted to have a child soon."

"Vincent always said, don't worry, having a child is too delaying your practice."

"Later, when he saw that I was angry, he coaxed me and said, let's choose a direction of alchemy, treat it as our first child, and when it grows up, we will have a second child, a real child." Sukhtara smiled indifferently, "I really believe him. ”

"Teacher, did you choose the ring copy material?" Duke asked.

"No, it's the ring projection auxiliary material, the auxiliary material needed when the projection ring comes, that is our first child, and the only child." Sukhtara said, a motherly glow flashing across her face, "Now, this child has grown up and grown into a ring replica material. ”

"Uh, I see!"

It dawned on Duke, and Sukhtara had made her and her husband's child the subject of her research. At first, I studied ring projection auxiliary materials, and after the research, I continued to study ring replication materials, step by step, and raised this direction like a child.

At the same time, Duke also suddenly wondered why Suktara showed no mercy to the people of the Su clan who were related by blood, and said that he would drive them away.

Because those Su clan people are not her relatives at all.

In her eyes, I am afraid that her relatives can only be treated as research topics like children.

As if he understood what Duke was thinking, Sukhtara did not deny anything, but said indifferently: "This is a trace of magic in the teacher's heart, it may be difficult for people to understand, but this is the only thing Vincent left me." ”

"Teacher, I can understand and understand your persistence."

"You're such a good boy." Sukhtara smiled and touched Duke's face, "When I see you, it's like seeing Vincent at that time, he may not be as talented as you, but he is as confident as you, and he feels that nothing is difficult for him." ”

Ten years of married life, but it took more than a hundred years to remember.

Duke couldn't comprehend such a deep love, but it didn't stop him from respecting Sukhtara, and accompanied the old man slowly down the city wall.

This walk has gone through a month.

In February, the second round of funding for the Giant of Light also began.

Duke gave up the bottom line of 51% of the shares, reduced his stake to 30%, and successfully raised 400,000 gold dragons.

Of course, in order to firmly hold on to the Giant of Light, he signed equity distribution agreements with many shareholders. Take most of the voting power of the shares into his own hands, so that he can still control the Giant of Light - in fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have this power, after all, the patents are in his hands.

The right was taken just in case.

The mages invested in the Giant of Light because they valued the future development of Duke himself, so they didn't want the right to vote on shares, and they only invested and didn't speak.

After having the money, Duke provided new advice to the Giant of Light Artifact Company.

"Runwanjia is menacing, especially in cooperation with the local arcane masters, and there are signs of monopolizing the market. I think that in terms of high-level management, Runwanjia can't fight Runwanjia, so we will choose to sink and sink directly to the spirit store. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Vial took his notebook and took notes carefully.

"Invest in the Spirit Weapon Store, directly give money to buy shares in each Spirit Weapon Store, let them become franchisees of the Giant of Light, and sign an exclusive agreement that only allows the sale of the Giant's lamps and lanterns!" Duke didn't know if it would work, so he was done.

He continued: "In addition, the agency rights of ordinary lamps and lanterns will also be signed as soon as possible, and then the production line will be opened to compete with Runwanjia. ”

"This ...... Will the stall be too big? "Vial was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of, the strong light hand lamp technology can not only be applied to the portable lamp, any lamp can be applied to the strong light hand lamp technology, then we get the lamp agency rights, we can develop more varieties of strong light lamps on the basis of these."

For example, street lights on the street, lights at home, signal lights on airships, and car lights on cars can all develop a strong light series.

"I see!" Understanding Duke's thoughts, Vial was relieved and excited, "I'll arrange it, let the employees work overtime, and let the sales team keep going!" ”

"Don't forget to arrange overtime pay and travel expenses, and you can't just let the horses run and not let the horses graze."

"Yes!"

The 400,000 Golden Dragon Capital has made the Giant of Light expand wildly again, and the plant area has been expanded again and again.

The sales team and legal team are recruiting people every day.

When they recruit people, they will be sent to various market towns in other cities to invest in every spiritual weapon store - the golden dragon given for free, just to sign an exclusive agreement, and most of the spiritual weapon stores are willing, after all, the shares of the small shop are as good as the golden dragon in hand.

By the time the Giant of Light was busy in February, he had already invested in more than 500 spirit weapon shops in cities and market towns in the eight major regions.

In one fell swoop, the sales situation was reversed, and the lamps of the giant of light beat Runwanjia in sales.

One takes the high-level route, and the other takes the grass-roots route.

Facts have proved that the grassroots route is more suitable, after all, the lamps and lanterns are basically purchased by ordinary people.

But in fact, there is another product of the Giant of Light that sells well, and that is the built-in portable lamp.

Many wealthy families value the small and exquisite built-in portable lamp, and even many mages have purchased built-in portable lamps.

In order to catch up with the giants of light, Runwanjia is not to be outdone, and frequently fights for the market.

In the entire Fengxi field, newspapers everywhere have never stopped advertising and news about Runwanjia and the Giant of Light.

The brand awareness of both is almost becoming a household name.

From March to April.

The 400,000 capital of the giant of light is about to bottom out, and this light war has lasted for half a year.

From the various Arcane Masters, a lot of cash was borrowed.

"If you continue to fight, you still can't tell the winner." A group of Arcane Master shareholders of the Runwanjia Spirit Artifact Factory came to visit the Clelinda Master Tower, "It's better to shake hands and make peace, Runwanjia and the Giant of Light are both big companies in my Shenjiao City, wouldn't it be wonderful to coexist peacefully." ”

Not only did he not get dividends from Runwanjia this year, but he was even borrowed a lot of money by Runwanjia, which made the shareholders of Arcano unable to sit still.

Everyone invests in Runwanjia to get money and resources.

is unwilling to sit back and watch Runwanjia squander his capital indiscriminately, resulting in damage to interests.

"Yes, Lord Klelinda, Duke has that old man from Suktara over there, and he is willing to take the money to accompany him crazy, why don't we take a step back." There is an arcane mage said.

The financing of the giant of light, because it has signed a confidentiality contract, has not been leaked for the time being.

Everyone didn't know that behind the Giant of Light, Duke had used the strong light hand lamp technology as bait to unite a group of arcane mage shareholders.

I just thought that Suktara was old and confused, and took out more than a hundred years of savings to accompany Duke crazy. Of course, even the support of only one 3-ring arcane mage is enough for the Giant of Light to gain a foothold, and most arcane mages are reluctant to fight hard.

There are many industries that make money, and there is no need to stumble in one market.

Clelinda was willing to continue the business war, and Azgul was willing to support him, but in the face of the menacing Armager shareholders, he finally compromised.

For no other reason, there is no hope of victory in the business war to this day.

Moreover, there is no excuse to delay the patent infringement fees owed to Duke, otherwise it will be too much of a mouthful.

Before compromising, Klelinda argued to himself, "I still insist on continuing to compete, there is no way that Sukhtara will sell the Mage Tower to support Duke's Giant of Light!" Maybe if we try harder, he won't be able to support it anymore and will come and make peace with us, instead of us making peace with him. ”

"Whoever looks for it is the same, everyone looks up and doesn't look down, there is no need to divide the high and low." Some of the Arcane Master shareholders retorted.

Seeing this, Clelinda sat on the chair and waved her hand weakly: "Okay, listen to you, find someone to make peace, the lighting market is divided in half, and the company's operation will be handed over to the professional team in the future, and I will not ask anymore." ”

I wanted to go crazy and fight to the end, but my teammates didn't give me enough and threw early.

However, after sending someone to contact the Giant of Light, he soon received a reply from the Giant of Light and Duke: "The lighting market, all handed over to the Giant of Light, and the other spiritual weapon markets, the two are temporarily divided in half." ”

Klelinda was furious: "Arrogance! ”

Then he summoned all the Arcane Master shareholders and said coldly at the meeting: "It's not that I don't want to make peace now, it's the Giant of Light, and that little young man, who doesn't know how thick the sky is!" Therefore, if he wants to fight, we will continue to fight until he is convinced! ”

Before he could unify the opinions of the shareholders.

I saw the secretary hurriedly knocking on the door, entered the conference room, rushed to his side in three or two steps, and whispered: "My lord, Lord Duke has applied for a new patent from Lord Erwin, called 'Bright Light Technology', and jointly launched the first generation of Bright Light series lamps and lanterns with the Giant of Light. ”

"Bright light technology, what is that, his hand lamp can be brighter than ours?" Clelinda said with a glare.

The secretary swallowed a mouthful of saliva in horror and stumbled: "I went to see and see the strong light hand lamp patterns and samples in person, and they are really bright, really bright!" ”
