A few days after the start of recuperation, the two major shareholders of the Solomon Company also came to meet Wang Qinian and discussed the affairs of the Solomon Company from the hospital bed. Wang Qinian will not go to Tugenhaben again in a short period of time, Tigan's death is definitely not a trivial matter with the dark merchants, although he is not a big man, nor is he a strong man, but he is a slave supervisor in a region, if he dies, the slave trade in this region will definitely get out of control, not to mention that even his deputy Sloan also died together, which is equivalent to a black piece on Mr. Duncan's power map. The Dark Merchant would certainly soon send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and if Tygan had reported the sights of the Cockland Slave Catchers to the Dark Merchant again, there would be more clues once the two things were linked. Therefore, Wang Qinian asked Mr. Obier to immediately send men to Tugenhaben to replace the slave catchers who were still there as ticket inspectors, and to supervise the completion of the contract at the Barlov Theater, and to send someone who could settle accounts to share the box office according to the contract next month. Mr. Obier also told Wang Qinian another piece of good news, that is, in addition to the active Tugenhaben, there is a businessman from the capital city of Asturia who is willing to cooperate with Solomon Company to try to buy the Shadow Animation. The merchant's name was Hayden, and the reason he did so was that there were three theatres in Asturias, two of which were larger, and each had the shadow of a great nobleman, which made his merchant's theatre very wolfy. Recently, he has been even more ruthless, and the two seem to have teamed up to crush him first, and respectively poached the important actors of his resident troupe, and it seems that this resident troupe is about to fall apart first. Once the troupe is gone, it is useless to have a theater. So Hayden made a table-flipping gesture as soon as he was heartbroken, and simply decided to introduce the Shadow Animation to Asturias. This kind of good thing, of course, Solomon Company can't ask for it, Wang Qinian postponed his return, and Mr. Obier decided to agree first after uniting with Lizibao, but he was temporarily unable to provide the Shadow animation machine and film, and the two sides agreed to come back next month and sign a formal contract. Of course, Wang Qinian has no opinion, this is a good thing, he decided to wait until the day after tomorrow to go to Sebasson and them to order a few more Shadow animation players. Mr. Obier and Lizzie also brought a short film from the Daffodil Theatre Company using the script he had written earlier during Wang Qinian's absence. The scripts for these short films have already been performed by the Daffodil Theater Company as an official play in Liberty City, as a show before the next Shadow anime airs, so since it was made into a short film, it was not intended to be shown in Liberty City. Wang Qinian's purpose in letting the Daffodil Theatre Company shoot was simply to select talents for the future, including directors and actors. Most of these scripts are adapted from fairy tales, and there is no need to shoot more scenes like the first two Shadow animations, so the shooting is very fast, and most of them have been filmed when Wang Qinian returns. During the two days of recuperation, Wang Qinian had a player and a small screen brought in to look in the room. Agatha heard that Wang Qinian came back with an injury and also came to visit her teacher, so every day he had a little Luo Li by his side to watch short films. In the days after the end of his injury, Wang Qi began to be busy, including the affairs of the Free City, and he was more attentive than before. Because he may face the investigation and retaliation of the dark merchants, if he is not traced to himself, of course, it is the best, if he is traced, then the stronger the free city, the more support he can give Wang Qinian. Therefore, he took the initiative to participate in the construction of the Free City, and when the Commercial Law was revised, some of the ideas he had discussed with Franklin and others in the ward were revised, of course, this was far from enough, and there would be more revisions in the future. In banking matters, he proposed a bill of exchange system, which could be more convenient for merchants, which was the beginning of bills. Franklin, on the other hand, cautiously proposed the idea of establishing a permanent market in the Free City, which now has reached a monthly frequency, but still some do not meet the needs of the merchants, and many merchants ask Franklin to have a fixed place where they can trade freely for most of the year. If successful, it will be the first commodity exchange, right? In the end, it was agreed to open up a special commodity exchange in the South District Plaza, and to provide corresponding warehouses for merchants to rent and store goods. The Free City also decided to set up a special tribunal to elect a judge in addition to the internal affairs officer, mainly to adjudicate the disputes of the merchants and the daily conflicts between the citizens in accordance with the commercial law. Wang Qinian also added a team of guards to his side, and unlike other interior officials, this team of guards was from Franklin's personal guard, and the squad leader in charge of the command was that Zoe. After Wang Qinian's return, the entire city of freedom appeared to be thriving again. -------- second month after his return, the exchange began to officially begin construction. A revised commercial code was also promulgated and the Tribunal of Liberty was formally established. The bank also began to expand, doubling the size of its offices and doubling its staff, identifying all coins that would be deposited in the bank, and if they did not meet the royal coinage standards, they were faced with two options: return them or send them to a private coin mint in the Free City to be reminted and deposited in the bank at real value. At the same time, the bank also announced that it would completely liberalize the scope of loans, and any businessman could successfully borrow from the bank, of course, subject to the conditions set by the bank, including various restrictions on collateral, creditworthiness, and interest requirements. As a result, commerce became more prosperous, and Wang Qinian could imagine that the Free City would even be the same day in the future, especially after the establishment of the exchange, which would attract more businessmen. The Salomon Company was also re-exhibited, and Hayden, a merchant from Asturias, arrived, and the Solomon Company signed a formal contract to introduce the Shadow Animation to the city of San Quentin. Moreover, Hayden's contract was different from that of the Barlov Theater, and the first mode he chose was to buy the player directly, instead of leasing it, and not to share the box office, but to buy the broadcast rights in St. Quentin for an exclusive sum of money to Mr. Obier's satisfaction, and the contract required that the contract signed by Salomon Company and other firms or merchants must protect Hayden's interests, and no second house in St. Quentin could show two films. Mr. Hayden is fighting against the odds, and the conspiracy of the other two theaters has pushed him to the brink of despair. More than a dozen of the main actors of his theater's resident troupe have been poached by two theaters, and he would rather pay him a high compensation. So in the short term, he is not short of money, but he lacks a sustainable business. Wang Qinian's heart moved, and motioned to Lizibao to talk to Hayden about whether it was possible to directly merge this troupe that was about to be disbanded. Although the main actors are gone, the remaining manpower of this troupe is still somewhat useful, which can save a lot of effort for Salomon Company. In addition to selling Snow White, Alexander, and the Forty Thieves to Mr. Hayden, the Solomon Company also sold the short films that Wang Qinian arranged for the Daffodil Theater Company to shoot to Hayden at a very low price. This is a mutually beneficial thing, because these films are strictly all waste films, and even if a few of them are well shot in some clips, they are still substandard on the whole, let alone compared with Wang Qinian's two official films. Wang Qinian didn't expect to make a good film in it from the beginning, his purpose was just to select potential people, and by the way, it was an exercise. Although it is more expensive, but this is necessary, if Solomon wants to exhibit, it is impossible to rely on Wang Qinian alone, and he was originally ready to retire and only write scripts, of course, he can't quit now. Wang Qinian still has a lot of scripts to provide, such as some classics of Shakespeare, but these scripts are not suitable for appearing in the Free City, and if he can successfully enter St. Quentin in the future, he can take it out. The City of Liberty is not the same as the city of Saint-Quentin in that it is only a city with a long enough history, and it is easier for them to accept the stories adapted from fairy tales. In order to give Mr. Hayden confidence, Wang Qinian revealed in advance the plans for Solomon's next Shadow animation, The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz is a film about Wang Qinian's journey through the previous world, telling the story of Dorothy's series of wonderful experiences when she is swept into the magical Oz Wonderland by a mysterious tornado along with her house. Because the content of this film itself is magical, there are also dwarf countries in it, and witches and male witches can be regarded as magicians. Of course, it is still difficult to film, and first you have to get a few of Dorothy's partners in the play, the tin man, the scarecrow, and the timid lion. For this reason, Wang Qinian had to turn to Chris, and he needed several magicians from the underground base to participate in the filming, instead of the witch and the wizard in the film. As a result, the majority of mages in Free City were male, and there were only two female mages, but one of them firmly refused because one of her magical studies was at the most critical juncture. In the end, the sorceress who agreed to participate can only be designated as the northern witch in the film, the kind one. The wizard who finally sends Dorothy home is promised a cameo by Chriss. The evil Western Witch is the main villain of the show, played by Catherine, who casts a spell by a magician who agrees to help when a spell effect is needed, and then uses the camera angle to shoot Catherine casting a spell. The Tin Man and the Scarecrow were relatively easy, although they were expensive, and they were made in the mode of constructing creatures, and they only needed to give instructions to control them to make general actions, and the voices were recorded by the people of the Daffodil Troupe. The most troublesome thing is the timid lion, it is not difficult to find a lion in the wilderness, the difficult thing is how to control it, it is not a constructed creature. The spell that seduces humans can't control it, and the one that can control the lion is the charm monster, but it's a fourth-level spell.

In the end, it was Bernhard who agreed to help and used the summoner's enslavement magic contract to control the lion, and only then did he barely solve the last actor problem.
