Before Christine woke up in the morning, the maid was already outside and shouted:

"Oh, ma'am!"

"What's the matter, Jenny, are you making such a fuss, is the sky falling?" said Christine, who opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at her maid disapphantly.

Huy Glaire was right, after being poisoned by him, he had insomnia for most of the night last night, and he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning. But she wasn't sure if it was the effect of the drug or if it was the result of being too stimulated last night.

"Oh, no, no, ma'am, I'm sorry for my rudeness, but I have to say it anyway...... That's just amazing, you'd better look out the window. The maid said to Christine with a flushed face.

Christine rolled over and threw herself at the window.

Then she saw that in the square of the Silent Island Hotel, tens of thousands of lover's tears filled the entire square. They form a large heart shape, and thousands of candles are lit among the flowers, forming a sea of red beauty.

Hue Glare was standing in the middle of the sea of flowers, holding a large bouquet of millennial flowers, looking up at Christine below, smiling at her.

"Oh my God, he's crazy!" exclaimed Christine, holding her mouth with her hand.

Lover's tears represent love, and the millennium flower means eternity, and it is extremely normal for nobles to use these two flowers to pursue their favorite girl. But to say that tens of thousands of flowers are used to show love, and openly displayed in the street, this kind of behavior has never been done before.

Romance requires a social environment, and although the atmosphere of the Reims Empire is also open, it is unprecedented to be so extravagant and cheeky to such a hand.

Although it is a trick used to the point of rotten streets in the 21st century, the more it is used to the point of rotten streets, the more it shows that the effect is excellent.

It turns out that no woman has ever been able to resist this type of courtship, and even if she doesn't like the man, she will never resent it.

As for Huey, Christine didn't even have the possibility of refusing.

She shouted, "Let him come up." Oh my God, I haven't washed my face yet. Don't bring him in, let him wait for me in the parlour. ”

The maid ran out as fast as she could.

Half an hour later, Christine finally put on her makeup, and at this moment, she was dressed in a variety of styles and had a charming posture.

"Hopefully I didn't keep you waiting. Christine said apologetically.

"In fact, you're already very efficient when it comes to makeup. Huey laughed. The millennium flowers he held have been properly preserved in a vase, and as long as there is enough moisture, this kind of flower can always bloom and can maintain their beauty for a long time.

Letting the maid go down, Christine came to Huey's side: "Are you crazy? You bought so many flowers? After thinking about it, she bit her lip and said, "Anyway, according to your plan, as long as you need it, I will invite you to spend the night in my room anytime and anywhere." ”

"But at least make it clear to everyone why. ”

"Very well, you did give the whole city a plausible reason this time. I'm guessing that this afternoon, everyone will know that Cisdadaniel, a new heir to the family, is using crazy extravagance to conquer Christine. ”

"And it's going to be a big success soon. Huey smiled and grabbed Christine's arm.

"It's just on the surface. ”

"That's right, so I'm sorry to tell you something. ”

"What?"

"The bill for those flowers will be sent directly to your house. ”

"Oh! Huy Glare, you bastard!" Christine gave him a kick in anger.

Xiu Yi smiled and stiffened her blow, not resisting at all.

Christine froze slightly, and then she suddenly realized that she was being threatened and controlled by Huey, but it didn't seem like she was being forced.

"Oh...... I'm sorry. She was a little panicked.

"There's no need for that. Xiu Yi smiled: "You can rest assured, as long as you keep in touch, you will show up soon, most of the time, I am still approachable." ”

"I hope so. Christine muttered, "So what do I do next?"

"How about a walk in the garden? At noon I will have lunch with the vice president of Dodge Firm, and in the afternoon I will discuss business matters with some other people, and I hope that you will spend the day with me. ”

"Well, Earl Brooks wants me to accompany him to lunch, and now it seems that I have no choice but to refuse. Christine said helplessly. She was surprised that her heart wasn't really resistant to it.

"So you have to thank the flowers, they make the public think that you are moved by my loyalty, so you give me a special day to spend the day. ”

"And what about tomorrow?"

"Believe me, Miss Christine, romance has no end, as long as you have the heart, there will be surprises knocking on the door every day. Huey smiled confidently.

Walking side by side with Hue on the garden path of the Silent Island Hotel, Christine felt a little strange in her heart.

It stands to reason that walking with a "famous" person like Xiu Yi should be scared and ** in her heart, but I don't know why, she is not really afraid now, in fact, she is even a little excited in her heart.

There was a vague feeling of excitement.

Just think about the-for-tat confrontation between himself and Huy Gler last night, and he can still survive from the invincible and majestic young man in the Lanya Grand Theater to the present, and even walk side by side with each other, there is still a little pride in his heart.

Especially after she mastered the other party's secrets, and the other party did not choose to kill herself, and even promised to remove the troubles that gave her a headache for herself, the more she felt proud.

It seems that this teenager is not so scary, on the contrary, as he said, when he is not killing, he is still quite cute.

And he doesn't look like an innocent killer.

"I always thought that demons didn't understand romance. Christine exclaimed.

"That's because you don't know about demons. Xiu Yi replied with a smile: "In fact, the devil does not rely on terrible fangs and claws, but all kinds of beautiful means and seduction. Demons degrade and obses, so they know how to bring good enjoyment and make people voluntarily throw themselves into the arms of demons. Romance is just one way to go. It's all because you're a woman, and you're a beautiful woman, so I'm going to use this to please you. But if you're someone else, the devil will use other methods to please you. Seeing the wind and making the rudder is the secret of the devil's success. ”

"Is it, then, every demon as knowledgeable as you are? ”

"In fact, demons are indeed knowledgeable. In order to lead people to depravity, demons must learn a lot and be good at communicating with different people. It is necessary to talk about alchemists, politicians about the international situation, art appreciation at art exhibitions, cooking at cocktail parties, and clothing for ladies. Not only that, but sometimes they prefer to talk about politics to alchemists and literature and art to scholars, because they don't know anything anyway, and they are happy to let them pick up some wisdom. You don't have to pick any good tunes for the piano played by the cow!" "Hah!" Christine held her lips and laughed, "This is the funniest description of demons I've ever heard." ”

Xiu Yi said solemnly: "As a demon, you must have the spirit of progress, and be able to roll forward with the 'giant wheel of the times'. ”

Christine leaned back with a smile, "Oh my God, I finally understand why you have survived on Purgatory Island for so long, because you and the little villain who cheated the dead and didn't pay for their lives. Even the most terrible thing can turn into honey in your mouth. It's hard to imagine that the first time I saw you, you were killing people like crazy, and yesterday, I was scared to death by you, and now, I even have the poison you gave me in my body, but I can still laugh and laugh so happily when I face you. Oh, gods, it's incredible, you're a demon who is good at people's hearts. And, as you say, a learned demon. ”

Huey looked at Christine earnestly.

He didn't talk about her, but frowned slightly: "I beg your pardon, if I heard me right, you just used the word Purgatory Island? I mean...... Do you know that Purgatory Island exists?"

"Only part of it. Christine shrugged: "Now this secret is becoming less and less of a secret. Oh, I just heard it from Earl Brooks. I guess that's why I'm not so afraid of you, because I know you're not really a demon. ”

"I see, it seems that I have returned your energy. Even if more and more people know this secret, it will not be easy for anyone to grasp it. So why would Earl Brooks tell you such a big secret?

"Oh, don't you know that I also have a business in the materials business?" Christine looked at Huey in surprise, "Why else do you think I'm going to hang out with that old bastard from Earl Brooks? He announced earlier this month that he was going to reduce his purchase by eighty percent, hateful bastard, what do you say I have collected with those materials? He wants me to accompany him*, then he promises to buy the materials in my hands." It's been a huge headache for me, and I'm actually ready to take a loss. You must know that I don't have a good alchemist on my hands, those are precious materials, and it is a shameful waste to hand them over to ordinary alchemists. I tried my best to know why the empire needed to reduce the amount of materials it needed, and I had to know if this reduction was an occasional one, or if it would be reduced in the future, so that I could make the right choice in the future. Brooks told me this secret in order to have me for the long term. He wanted to threaten me! Then I found out that it had something to do with you, and it was all because of you!"

"I see. Xiu Yi nodded, "It's so much fun." Maybe I can help you with that, I mean, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I'm an alchemist, I mean in terms of alchemy, I'm confident that I can still afford to be judged excellent. ”

Christine's eyes lit up with excitement, "Oh my God, you're trying to tell me you can eat my batch?"

"The problem is that I don't have that much money. Huey replied without blushing, "But if you give me time, I can help you make them all into finished products, and then you can sell them." Trust me, you can make more money than you can sell materials, and you don't have to worry about preservation. ”

"That's for the best. Christine became excited, from Earl Brooks, she fully understood the level of alchemy of Xiuyi, and the battle at the Lanya Theater proved it.

"But as a condition, I need your funds to help me buy other materials. "Xiu Yi said.

Christine understood a little, "You want me to help you complete the first big deal of the Dardanelles?" and...... You don't really have that much money in your hands. ”

"The cost of the Silent Island Hotel alone is about to bankrupt us. Xiu Yi said without shame.

"How much material are you going to buy?"

"Earl Brooks gave up eighty percent of the material acquisition, and I will eat sixty percent, what do you think?"

"That's about six million Kin Witt, that's not a small amount, and even I can't come up with that much money at once. ”

"Don't worry about that. There are many ways to do business. A lot of times we don't have to do as much as we have. Right?"

Christine's eyes rolled: "What do you mean...... Debt?"

"Installments, to be exact. I'm going to introduce a new payment method. The buyer uses credit as capital to get a large amount of goods in advance, and then uses this batch of goods as collateral and profit chips in the later stage. Make post-payment after you've earned enough money. ”

"Sounds fresh. ”

"A way to expand with a small fight. Of course, if I buy less, the Dardanelles' financial strength will be questionable. However, if there are too many acquisitions, the huge financial pressure makes installment payment a legitimate behavior. After all, there are not many families in the entire empire that can casually come up with a huge sum of six million. In addition, since I only buy 60%, this has formed a material sales gap of up to 20%, which will form sales pressure on many merchants, and also give us bargaining chips. Before that, we need to establish a margin system to dispel everyone's doubts, after all, my purpose is not to cheat money. So I don't need millions of Kim Wert, just give me 600,000 and I can make this money ten times more valuable. I mean, I'm going to eat this shipment for a tenth of the price, and then pay a tenth of the price for the next month, and complete the annexation of this shipment within a year, what do you think?"

It has to be said that Christian's plan was also amazed by Xiuyi's plan, this young man's mind was so careful that he could even think of this method, even in business, he showed extraordinary talent.

It's just that the amount of money involved is that one or two geniuses alone can't solve the problem.

Even if it is Wan Jinwit, it is not a small amount, and Christine can't help but hesitate.

She pondered it and began to think about some of the details of Huey's plan. Then she hesitated, "So what are you going to do with those materials?" You know, there's so much of this material that you can pile up a mountain. Are you alone?"

A confident smile appeared on Xiu's face: "Even on the original Purgatory Island, the logistics personnel engaged in mass production and continuously supplying a country's armed forces were only ten apprentices. Even then, I still have plenty of free time to do something else. There has always been only an alchemist who thinks that the materials are not enough, how can an alchemist say that the materials are not exhausted? In this regard, Mrs. Christine, you don't have to worry at all. ”

Christine shrugged her shoulders: "Okay then, I can take out 600,000 gold for you, this is also my current limit, you must know that most of my money is in liquidity, so what?"

"It takes time to establish a credit system, and what the Dardanelles lack is time. So the best thing to do is to have a guarantor to ensure the reputation and credibility of the Dardanelles. ”

"You're going to let me be your family's guarantor? Oh my God, if you fail, I'm done!"

Huey bowed deeply to Christine, "Dear Madam, your fate has changed since the moment you met me last night. The only thing you can expect right now is that I will never fail. Christine sighed helplessly.

She was now completely defeated in her own confrontation with this young man.

She once thought that she could take the opportunity to blackmail Siglaire, but he dragged her chariot step by step.

This young man is obviously only a few years old, but the maturity of his speech and speech does not have the childishness that he should have when he was old. He thinks about the problem comprehensively, deeply, and step by step, which makes it difficult for him to prevent it. He is cunning, fierce, decisive, and...... The skin is still very thick.

Now that things have unfolded, Christine finally reluctantly realizes the fact that the control has completely fallen into the hands of Xiuyi.

Even if that were the case, they wouldn't necessarily agree to such a deal. Know that they need cash as well. And the way you trade means putting all their money in your hands and using it. ”

"Don't worry, I have a way of getting them to agree. ”

"Well, then, you have to prove to me that you do have the ability to digest such a large batch of materials, and you have to prove to me that what you make must be sought-after and profitable. Christine said weakly that it was her last bit of effort to regain the initiative — in the sense that she hoped Huey Glyre was bragging.

"Well, I need a quiet space. ”

Christine borrowed the basement underneath the Silent Island Hotel and sent a batch of materials at Huey's request.

In the dimly lit basement, there are only two people now, Christine and Huey.

Christine noticed that Xiu Yi looked at the table full of materials, and her eyes gave off a strange fanatical look, and at that moment, Christine's heart sank, as if she saw the crazy teenager who was killing in the Lanya Theater.

Christine knew that it was the performance of a teenager when he was focused.

Behind the gentle and elegant young man, he has both a crazy thirst for knowledge and a fearlessness when killing, and today, Christine finally sees how Xiu Yi behaves when he focuses on his work.

The next moment, Xiu Yi's hands quickly picked up the materials on the table and began to process the alchemy with skillful techniques. A bottle of metal softener was tapped on the mouth of the bottle by Xiu Yi, and the cork flew into the air, and Xiu Yi picked up the bottle and quickly dropped a few drops on a metal block, and then the bottle was connected to the air, and the cork fell back into the mouth. At the same time as putting down the bottle, Xiuyi's left hand quickly threw the softened metal block into the air, the metal block was frozen in the air and did not move, Xiuyi's right hand flew out several metal wires at the same time, wrapped around the metal block, with the incantation in Xiu Yi's mouth, the metal block kept changing in the air, and the metal wire was more and more entangled, at the same time, his left hand took out a crystal ball and other materials, ready to carry out the next step of the procedure. In the air, the splendid patterns woven by metal wire are flying, and on the experimental table, Xiuyi's one-handed hand is also constantly operating, and various materials move one after another as if they have grown legs, combining and interacting with each other......

Xiuyi's accurate movements, long-term samurai training has given him a steady hand, a wealth of knowledge and long-term experience working on Purgatory Island, and he has a good understanding of how these materials react to each other. It's like a chef with the best skills, always cooking multiple dishes at the same time, but never rushing. The materials in the air fluttered, and Xiuyi's hands flew like butterflies through flowers, dazzling to watch.

It was obviously an ordinary alchemy product manufacturing, but under Xiuyi's hands, it became a gorgeous performance.

Even the most uninitiating person will immediately understand how powerful Xiuyi's attainments in alchemy aret are.

Christine looked a little stupid.

After about an hour and a half, Huey looked at Christine with a smile on her three finished scout bees.

He unleashed a scout bee and sent it around Christine, then took out a crystal ball and explained to Christine how to use the little thing, much to Christine's amazement.

Ever since his failed attempt to perform multiple alchemy experiments at the same time as the master alchemist in Electra's lab, Xiu Yi has been looking for ways to improve his alchemy productivity. Now, although he can't perform multiple experiments at the same time like the legendary master, this does not prevent him from producing and processing multiple alchemy techniques at the same time.

Experiments are different from production, many of the contents of the experiments are unknown, and the alchemist needs to be engrossed in observing and understanding that there will probably not be a second alchemist in the world who can conduct multiple experiments at the same time except for Electra. But the production is different. Production is a repetitive construction on the basis of the known, and it is completely possible to carry out it as an individual assembly line.

In fact, this is the reason why Xiu Yi made the King Kong puppet at the same time at any cost in order to make it in a hurry. And when the puppet assistant told Xiu Yi that his more suitable direction was not the unknown alchemy, but the extreme use and sublimation of the existing alchemy, Xiu Yi completely changed the idea of imitating Electra, so he carefully designed a set of alchemy production processes.

In this case, Xiuyi's production is twice as fast as before, which is why the amazing visual effect that made Christine dazzle just now.

And for Huey, it all can be summed up in one word: skillful.

Coming to Christine, Huey asked, "How much is the material you just gave me worth?"

"It's worth thirty Jinwit, but you've only used half of it. Christine replied.

"In other words, the cost of each scout bee is five gold vits. What you're seeing now is what I made in an hour and a half. If my assistant were here, I could make five Scout bees in the same amount of time. In one day, I can complete thirty Scout Bees. Compared to the first production, I was about four times more efficient. Of course, this is also because I don't want it to become a weapon for my enemies to deal with me, so I consciously limit some of its functions and service life, and reduce some production procedures. These bees can only receive the simplest commands and have a lifespan of only one year. ”

"Commercially, making it a consumable is a much more sustainable way to make money than making it a durable good. Christine was quick to talk, after all, she was a woman in business, and Christine immediately recognized Huy's approach from a business point of view.

"That's right. Xiui laughed, "I'll remind you that the cost of the Scout Bee is only five Jinvitt. If I were making a more expensive potion or something now, I would be able to consume tens of thousands of gold worth of materials every day, but the cost of the potion would be too high, and the loss would be too great, and in terms of profit ratio, it would not be as good as the Scout Bee. But I guess now you can rest assured, right?"

Christine exclaimed, "Yes, before this, I never thought that anyone would turn the production of alchemy into an art. Huey Gler, you are indeed astonishing. It's hard to imagine, no wonder people always say that alchemists are the most expensive profession in the world, six million gold vetts, my God, such a huge fortune, if you want to, maybe you can consume it all in less than a hundred days. ”

"That's right, then these little things are for you. Huey put the scout bee into Christine's hand, and touched her soft and smooth hand by the way: "I'll give you the right to sell it, you can think about what kind of price is better for it." ”

"Do you still need to ask? The price is 300 to 500 Jinwet a piece, and the bottom price is limited to 100 Jinwert, and you have to say good things to Mrs. Ben to get through the favor before you can buy it. Christine said confidently.

"Madame is indeed proficient in business. Huey laughed.

The pricing of a product often does not depend on its cost, but on market needs. The Scout Bee is currently a technique that Xiu Yi exclusively possesses, and no one will make it except him. With that alone, Christine can ask for a sky-high price. Moreover, most of the people who can use the reconnaissance bee are the military or some private armed forces, and ordinary civilians cannot use them. Most of these people are not short of money, let alone a hundred Jinwit, even if it is a thousand Jinvit, as long as they need it, they can only buy it head-on. Exclusive technology, exclusive operation, means absolute profiteering.

If it weren't for the ** nature of the empire, Christine didn't dare to make a price too arbitrarily, but she was afraid that she would really be able to offer a price of thousands of gold vits. But because of this, this time Christine didn't have to look at the face of the Earl of Brooks who procured for the royal family, and in turn, the Earl of Brooks asked Christine to sell him some of these things.

"So, Madame, do you have any questions?" asked Huey.

Looking at Huy Glare's confident smile, Christine thought for a moment, and then said, "Can you be a scout bee again?"

"Why?" Huey didn't understand.

Christine's face flushed slightly: "Don't you know that when a man focuses on work, it is actually the most attractive moment?...... You looked so handsome. ”

Huey was dumbfounded.
