Chapter Seventy-Eight: Help the Marquis move
Ivory Island at the end of December is destined to be noisy and chaotic!
In the aftermath of the unfortunate incident of the pirate attack, when people were still immersed in anger and grief, the ivory evening newspaper, which was published every three days, once again created a series of hot spots and attracted everyone's attention.
In just two weeks, with the growing influence of the evening newspaper, a new form of publicity called advertising has swept the whole Ivory Island, no matter in the streets and alleys, whether in the tavern banquet, people can be heard discussing advertisements at any time, and even children playing in the streets can pop up a slogan from time to time -
"Not all red wines are called Portulan, the king of wines, the elegant enjoyment of nobility!"
"Come to the bowl, you just go to the bowl, rainbow brand cheese from high-quality pastures, no pollution and no additives, with you every day of growth!"
"Diamonds are eternal, a forever passed on, with the precious jewels of Fei Li Jewelry, you will find that the original world can be more beautiful......"
"This year, we don't receive gifts for the holidays, we will receive gifts for Jiasham, not all beers are called Jiasham, this is probably the best beer in the world!"
In this way, when these advertisements appear in the form of fatigue bombardment, the average reader, who is new to the evening newspaper and the advertisement, is conquered almost without any immunity...... Well, in a way, a world devoid of media is a paradise for unscrupulous advertising practitioners.
In this case, those merchants who spend a lot of money on advertising are suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the effect of advertising is much better than they expected, it is no exaggeration. Almost every shop that has just finished advertising will have a booming business within a few days. The customers who waited in line at the door even went from the street to the end of the street.
Take Mr. Anderson, for example. When the cheese merchant saw the first advertisement, he decided to sell his property to raise money, and hurriedly ran to the evening newspaper to book an advertisement, which was ridiculed by many people at the time, and even his wife was clamoring for a divorce.
What's even more speechless is that the large investment of 2,000 gold coins was only exchanged for a picture in the evening newspaper, plus a simple advertising slogan written by Lin Taiping casually - "The milk is fragrant." Silky enjoyment ......"
Crazy, this guy must be crazy! Colleagues who learned the news were gloating, and even Mr. Anderson himself began to regret it, perhaps it was the stupidest mistake in his business history?
Yet, only a week later, when Mr. Anderson looked back at the incident, he looked up with great pride and said that it was the wisest decision of his life.
The cheese shop, which used to have only a few orders a day, was suddenly crowded with customers. The warehouses full of inventory were swept away, and the workers in charge of production worked overtime day and night, but they still couldn't resist the orders that flew like snowflakes, and in the end, even the merchants from the outer islands. I also came to pick up the goods with the evening newspaper......
Then, Mr. Anderson, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, suddenly became the largest cheese merchant on Ivory Island. The various cheese products under his name were cheap cheeses that he couldn't even sell a few months ago. All of them became the most popular bestsellers, and this time it was the turn of those customers to line up to beg him to ship them.
This qiē. To whom?
There is no doubt that Mr. Anderson is a good man who knows how to be grateful, so the day after he was developed, he immediately rushed to the evening newspaper office with his bejeweled wife, booked the advertising rights for the next three issues in one go, and brought a whole cart of fine cheese to give to Vivian as an after-dinner snack.
She was so happy that she was about to faint, Christine pulled a dozen little Lori, looked at a large pile of cheese that was drowning her ankles, and didn't know what to say, in short, even if Vivian and her family took cheese as a meal every day, they could eat it until they became adults.
Damn, why is this guy the only one taking advantage? Seeing this eye-popping scene, the other businessmen were envious and jealous, almost swarming up, and in this situation of short supply, an advertising opportunity was hyped up to the point that there were people on the black market selling the next issue of advertising pages.
As a result, Lin Taiping could only rest behind closed doors, and in this way, Christine, who was close to him, suffered a crime, and suddenly became the main target of those merchants.
The worst of all was Tulu, a minotaur who didn't know how to refuse, who accepted sixteen banquets in a week, and the merchants almost gave whatever they wanted, bending over desperately flattering with smiling faces, hoping that the other party would help to say a few good words.
In the end, Tulu, who is known as a foodie, also collapsed before the meal, touching his swollen belly, it rushed into the study with tears in its eyes, hugged Lin Taiping's thighs and didn't let go: "Woo woo, dear Lin, hurry up and squeeze a few advertising pages out, those guys are too enthusiastic, yesterday I just said I wanted to eat roast camels, but they sent me a whale directly!"
"Ann, Ann, I'm no better than you. Lin Taiping patted it on the shoulder and sighed sympathetically, "Yesterday morning, I told Mr. Jin Keduo that I prefer cigar smoke, and the result was ......."
As a result, Mr. Jin Kedo obviously thought too much, so instead of sending cigar smoke, he sent a whole ten cigar pipes, and all of them were pure gold!
Well, in this era of extremely underdeveloped media, the influence of advertising has indeed exceeded expectations, so Lin Taiping now has to rub his forehead and begin to worry about calculating whether to shorten the interval between evening newspapers and change the original three-day issue to two-day issue, so that more advertisements may be arranged.
But the problem is that there are really not enough people in the newspaper office, and it is easy to handle reporters and so on, but there is a shortage of printing workers who have mastered letterpress printing, and dozens of minotaurs are already so busy that they are about to jump into the sea en masse to protest, and if they increase their workload. Then it's really going to become Foxconn.
"No, never!" in fact. As soon as Tulu heard that he was going to work overtime to print, he immediately picked up the fruit knife and put it around his neck in grief. "Lin, I swear with my favorite horn that if you dare us to work overtime, our entire tribe will run away from home en masse, even Leah, so that you won't be able to marry her even if you are killed. ”
"Uh, when am I going to marry her?" Lin Taiping wiped his cold sweat and looked at the first beautiful girl of the Minotaur Race who poked into his head from the door, and couldn't help but burst into tears. "Alright, well, maybe I should think about where to find some dark creatures to join in, and they're going to be as easy to deceive as you are...... No, I mean, just as loyal. ”
This is a big problem, and Tulu feels sorry for the horns of the bull and begins to wonder if there are rumors of dark creatures nearby. Maybe it's vampires, maybe it's dark orcs, maybe it's skeletons, dark knights, and lichs......
Unfortunately, due to the hatred of dark creatures in the world of Contens. There are fewer and fewer dark races that still exist today, and most of them are hidden on desolate islands, in this case. The thought of finding them in a short period of time also convinces them to cooperate. It's simply impossible to do.
"Take your time, and sue me when you have a clue. Lin Taiping patted Tulu on the shoulder to express comfort. After a pause, he slowly turned his head to look out the window.
In the cold of the night, clouds have covered the entire sky, and every now and then a bolt of lightning streaks through the clouds, accompanied by a low thunderclap, and perhaps a rare winter thunderstorm will soon come.
"In winter, there will actually be thunderstorms?" Lin Taiping touched his chin with a strange face, and after a while, he suddenly turned around and clapped his hands very happily, "Okay, it's really good weather, get ready, we're going to go." ”
"Out of ...... Let's go?" Tooru yawned halfway through and suddenly opened his mouth wide in surprise.
Almost at the same time, accompanied by a seductive laugh, Nightsong suddenly appeared behind him, stretching out a snake-like pink tongue, full of seductive exhalation: "My dear, I have just returned from that manor, and as we expected, it is the secret stronghold of the Marquis of Grande. ”
"Manor?" Touru was even more confused, but it was only a few seconds of stupidity, and it immediately became so excited that its eyes turned red and spewed white, "So, are we going to rob now?"
"Nonsense, am I the kind of person who likes to rob?" Lin Taiping condemned with awe-inspiring justice, "I just think that since the Marquis of Grande specially sent pirates to visit some time ago, then we should also be very polite to pay a return visit, and by the way, help him clean up the manor, clean up the room or something." ”
"Yes, yes. Ye Ge raised his hand desperately in agreement, saying that he was very good at cleaning the room, and was especially good at sorting out those valuables, such as secret texts, jewelry, gold coins, and house deeds......
Just do it, the two unscrupulous guys were full of excitement, and immediately rushed out of the room with murderous vigour, and in the manor hall outside, a large group of minotaurs and dark elves were already ready to go, armed from teeth to heels, just waiting to do a big job tonight.
In fact, after this period of hard cultivation, coupled with Lin Taiping's gold coins to provide various resources, today's dark creatures have made great progress, ordinary minotaurs and dark elves have reached the bronze intermediate level, and Tulu and Yesong have broken through the bottleneck and been promoted to bronze high-level berserkers and shadow assassins, which are enough to defeat the bloody eyes after transforming into an octopus kraken.
"Good, it looks like everyone is ready. Lin Taiping stood on the balcony and looked at the dark creatures below him, "Guys, I won't say much, only two requests - first, help Christine find a way to lift the curse, and second, help the Marquis of Grande move, gold, silver, houses, tables, chairs, pots, all moved...... Have questions?"
It's strange if there is a problem, a large group of dark creatures looked at each other, and suddenly raised their heads to the sky and howled excitedly, dozens of minotaurs beat their chests hard, and the dense totem stone pillars were raised high, and even the calmest dark elves couldn't wait to pull out their daggers and let out a sharp long whistle.
That's it, let's go!
In an instant, with a wave of Lin Taiping's big hand, dozens of minotaurs carried the totem stone pillar, their eyes were red and their faces were full of excitement, like a surging black torrent, and they rushed out of the wine estate with a roar.
Behind them were dark elves with poisonous daggers in their mouths, their slender figures haunting the black mist like ghosts, glowing in the night with a dark glow.
Behind these vicious guys, Lin Taiping put his arm on the shoulders of Tulu and Yege, and followed behind contentedly, but the next moment, he suddenly turned his head in surprise, "Wait, where is Christine?"
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!
In the dim light in the distance, Christine was crushed by with a feverish face, carrying a pitch-black magic crystal cannon on her left shoulder, a small siege trebuchet in her right hand, and a rumbling battering ram behind her......
Lin Taiping saw the terrified thunder, only to feel that cold sweat flowed down like a waterfall: "Meow, put those things down for me, we are going to rob, not to help people demolish!"
What can you say? A long, long time later, in the cold wind of the night, Ye Ge suddenly shuddered and sighed sympathetically.
"The god of darkness is above, and I suddenly feel that Grande bastard is going to be in bad luck!"
