"You said, if I go and explain to Barritt now that I have no intention of competing for the heir, will he believe it?"
Duke said with a headache.
"What do you think?" Qin rolled her eyes. "This kind of thing is very serious. Sometimes you can't even make the decision yourself..."
"Oh, forget it, let's talk about next month's matters next month!"
Duke was a little helpless, he knew the truth what Qin said.
Regardless of whether he is willing to participate in the battle for the successor, since Barritt, as the head of the family, has determined that he will participate, he must participate.
After all, you can't possibly say that Barrick got it wrong, right?
Duke's current relationship with the Elvis family cannot be said to be good, but judging from the fact that Barritt can come here in person, it is not bad. This is already a good result. Duke does not need to make the relationship tense.
"Anyway, there is only one month left. The other direct descendants have been operating in Dawn City for several years. No matter how powerful I am, I can't catch up with them in one month. Therefore, the fight for the heir has nothing to do with me."
Duke comforted himself.
Qin also nodded.
Duke is right, it is impossible for him to catch up with those direct descendants in a short time.
But then again, it won't be easy to say as time goes by.
Next month is just the Elvis family's annual routine assessment of direct descendants. It is still early to officially decide on the heir. If Duke works hard, he may have a chance to catch up.
But seeing that Duke had no ambition to compete, Qin didn't say much.
Duke put aside these troubles for the time being and after resting in Building 4 for an hour, he came to the beauty company.
"Master, I have asked two ladies to have beauty treatments."
Alyssa was waiting in front of the door. When she saw Duke coming, she quickly reported it.
"Okay, let's take them to the beauty salon later."
Duke nodded and said.
"OK."
Duke followed Alyssa upstairs.
This so-called beauty therapy is not a modified version of the beauty device in the medical cabin. After all, the active substances consumed by that thing are relatively precious and cannot be used all the time. Moreover, a company as big as Novo cannot have only one product that does not consume large quantities, so Duke also
Many projects have been created.
To be precise, these projects were all developed by No. 2, including supporting employee training measures.
As for whether it is useful, Duke can only say that it varies from person to person.
Number 2 also told him that according to the examples it saw from the shelter computer, these beauty products are still effective, but they are definitely not comparable to those in the medical cabin.
As long as it has an effect, even if the effect is smaller, Duke will accept it.
After going upstairs, Alyssa went to call her aunt and Claire, while Duke came to a brilliantly decorated hall alone.
This place belongs to the membership area. You can't enter without a membership card. The modified beauty instrument used in the medical cabin is inside.
Of course Duke also came up with the membership card.
In the City of Dawn, there is such a thing as a membership card. Just like before when Duke went to the Bloody Hand Club, it was the membership card that Matthew showed.
However, the function of this kind of membership card is relatively simple. Generally, it only has the right to enter a certain place. If it is more advanced, it can enjoy the right to keep accounts.
Duke is obviously not satisfied with these. In addition to being able to enter the membership area of ​​the beauty company, the membership card he created also divided the membership card into several levels, such as the first level membership to the final level ten membership.
.
Each additional level of membership level will increase a certain amount of membership benefits.
As for how to upgrade, it naturally involves consumption. Every time you spend 1 Shuguang Coin, you will get 1 point. Only when a certain amount of points are accumulated can the member be upgraded.
At present, the membership levels provided by Duke are only the first six levels and the following four levels. Duke plans to make adjustments in the future depending on the situation. Just like the last four levels of employee levels, we will draw a pie first and wait until someone reaches this level soon.
The level will be announced later.
However, although there are only six levels now, these six levels are not attainable by ordinary people.
You can become a first-level member by paying an annual fee of 100 Shuguang coins every year. This price is neither high nor low for Shuguang City.
But the annual fee of 100 Dawn Coins is not the focus, the focus is the future upgrade conditions.
If a member wants to upgrade from level one to level two, he needs to earn 1,000 points within a year, which means he must spend more than 1,000 Shuguang coins per year.
Upgrading to level three will earn you 3,000 points; level four will earn you 9,000 points; level five will earn you 30,000 points; level six will earn you 100,000 points!
This is very scary. You know, the salary of an ordinary person is only about 100 yuan a month. It would be good to earn more than 1,000 yuan a year.
It takes an average person one year's salary to upgrade a member to Level 2, let alone the Level 6 membership that requires 100,000 points.
But Duke doesn't raise prices randomly, because his beauty company takes a high-end route. There are many poor people in Shuguang City, but there are also many rich people.
What he earns is the money of these rich people.
Moreover, this membership is not just a decoration, it is really beneficial. Certain items require members to reach a certain level before they can purchase them, such as using beauty equipment.
In addition to upgrading, these points can also be used to redeem some things, allowing people to experience the fun of shearing wool...
Of course, since there is not even a single customer now, the number of members is zero, but Duke believes that as long as he is given some time, he will not worry about not being able to sell the members.
"Master, I've brought you here."
Alyssa walked in with her aunt Servais and police officer Claire.
Both women had changed into exquisite bathrobes, their faces were rosy, and there was still some moisture on their hair that was pulled up high.
"Mr. Duke, these beauty projects of yours are really amazing!"
Claire spoke in amazement.
She originally thought that Duke, a so-called beauty company, collected IQ taxes. After all, she had seen many similar companies with great names but no real materials.
But I didn't expect that Duke, a beauty company, really has something good.
The little girls who were serving her just now gave her a very comfortable full-body massage, and then they came to a place called a steam bath. The whole room was filled with warm steam. It was so relaxing to do this in winter.
enjoy.
Finally, I applied some fragrant and smooth stuff on her body and face, saying it had a beautifying effect.
She didn't know if it could be used for beauty, but she knew that she hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.
Just based on these few things, Claire felt that this visit was worth it.
I heard the little girl say before that there is also a membership card here, and these services are membership services, so it is necessary for her to apply for one before leaving.
Faced with Claire's compliment, Duke smiled and said:
"Thank you, there will be something more amazing for you later!"
Duke didn't explain much and looked at his eldest aunt again.
"Ms. Servais, what do you think?"
The eldest aunt didn't have much interaction with Duke before. They were said to be relatives, but they were just acquaintances. After all, Duke had only been in the Elvis family for a short time.
The eldest aunt was a little embarrassed now, but she still affirmed:
"It's really good. I didn't expect Duke to understand women so well..."
Duke snickered in his heart. Of course he didn't understand, but there was so much data stored in the computer in the shelter. After No. 2 analyzed it, he basically understood a lot. It's not an exaggeration to call him a friend of women.
After being polite to the two of them for a while, Duke took the two women inside, where there were two large transparent cabins.
This is the simplified version of the medical cabin that No. 2 simulated through the medical cabin on the negative floor.
Compared with the full medical cabin, this beggars version of the medical cabin does not have many functions, but one function is retained, and that is skin repair.
To put it simply, the full version of the medical cabin can treat both the inside and the outside, but this beggars version can only treat the surface, and the effect is still compromised.
It sounds like a stretch, but that's the result Duke wants.
One is that the medical cabin is too powerful and is not suitable for the time being. The other is that this beggar's version of the medical cabin consumes less energy.
The active substance consumed by the beggar's version is about one percent of that of the original version.
Duke has three medical cabins. Two of the medical cabins are full of active substances, and the remaining one has been used several times, so some of it has been consumed.
Duke took out half of the active substances from the spent medical cabin and placed them in the beauty company.
He calculated that if the beggar's version of the medical cabin and the beauty instrument were used less frequently and the threshold was set higher, there would be no problem if it was used for three years.
Three years is enough time for Duke to find more active substances.
"This is a beauty device. You just need to lie in it and it will automatically beautify you."
Duke said to his aunt and Claire.
The two looked at each other, and then they realized that Duke had told them before that he wanted them to try out the beauty device.
It's just that the services just now were so comfortable that they actually made the two of them forget about the beauty equipment.
The two of them still didn't believe in this beauty device before, but after the experiences just now, their faces showed a look of anticipation.
"Is this really good for beauty?"
However, expectations were expectations, so the eldest aunt still asked.
Compared with Claire, who is in her twenties, Servais is almost forty years old.
In the City of Dawn, people who are over forty years old can be called an elderly person. Although Servais has taken good care of himself, he is still here after all. No matter how well he takes care of himself, there are still traces of time on his face.
Compared to the young Claire, she obviously hopes that this beauty device can really make her look younger. After all, what woman doesn't love beauty.
"Of course, I can guarantee that this beauty device is effective. You will know after you use it."
Duke asked his eldest aunt to lie in first, and after closing the transparent lid, Duke operated next to her.
"Okay, Ms. Servais, you just need to sleep peacefully and wait until you wake up to witness the miracle."
Duke said with a smile.
"good."
In the beauty machine, Duke also thoughtfully played some music. Servais, who had just experienced many projects, lay in this comfortable environment and listened to the soothing music.
Slowly closed his eyes.
"Ms. Claire, please."
Outside, Duke pointed to another beauty device and said to Claire.
Claire nodded, but did not go in immediately, but asked curiously:
"Mr. Duke, I heard that you have a membership card here? Those projects just now seem to require a membership card to experience, right?"
"Yes."
Duke nodded, as if he understood what Krall was going to do.
"Well, I want to apply for a card. I'm afraid I'll forget it later, so I'll tell you first."
Duke had said before that it would take more than three hours to lie in the beauty machine. Seeing that Servais had closed her eyes comfortably, she might have fallen asleep at this moment. She was really afraid that she would wait for a while.
Forgot.
"no problem."
Duke nodded, and then introduced the levels of the membership card again.
The more Krall heard, the more surprised he became. Sixth-level members must consume 100,000 Dawn coins per year?
No casino is as ruthless as you!
Usually the places where you can spend so much are just casinos, shopping malls and the like.
But casinos are also divided into people, and most people don't have this ability. As for the shopping malls, there are a lot of rich people there, such as auctions and so on. Sometimes some things are sold for sky-high prices, but they do.
It's a real good thing.
Duke, a beauty company, is really like a service industry. It just provides you with some services and there are no material things. Who would spend so much money to upgrade to Level 6?
Claire expressed some confusion. She felt that Duke had set the threshold too high.
However, the two of them weren't very familiar with each other after all, so Claire didn't say it explicitly. She was going to hint at it later while drinking Duke.
After these few contacts, she felt that Duke was a good person and could become a friend. If it had been anyone else, she probably wouldn't have reminded him.
Duke naturally didn't know what Krall was thinking, but he could still tell what the other party meant.
Duke looked at Claire's beautiful but somewhat weathered face and thought with some evil in his heart. When she comes out later, he will look at his changes and wonder if he will think that membership is expensive.
Speaking of which, Duke thought it was a good decision to let Servais and Claire experience the beauty device.
Servais will not say it. As you age, the effect of using beauty devices will be obvious.
As for Claire, although she is young, she often has to be on the front line due to her work, so her skin is not very good and she even has some scars, a bit like Qin from before.
If Qin or Alyssa were to try the beauty device, it would naturally have no effect, but if they were to try it, Duke felt that the effect would definitely be very good.
In addition, both of them have a relatively strong circle of friends, so Duke is looking forward to what they will do after they return. It would be better if they could help spread the word.
Duke watched Servais and Claire close their eyes, and then left with Alyssa.
Of course, he couldn't wait forever for the three hours he set.
Alyssa called three female employees to guard outside and let her know if anything happened.
Duke looked at the membership card in his hand and thought about setting the right level of membership for the beauty instrument.
Originally, he was thinking of allowing third-level members to have the authority to use beauty devices.
Of course, this is just permission, if you want to use it, you still need to pay extra.
But after thinking about it, Duke felt that Level 3 was too low.
Although the third-level membership requires consumption of more than 3,000 Dawn Coins, if the effect is achieved and those women are too crazy, it is not difficult to directly spend 3,000 yuan to upgrade to the third-level membership.
This is not because Duke is narcissistic, but because he must consider everything comprehensively. After all, active substances are limited.
He has to rely on this beauty device to make his company famous. If the active substances given to him are used up in a short period of time, he will be in trouble later.
After thinking about it, Duke decided to be cruel and directly set the conditions for using the beauty device to be above level five membership (30,000 points).
This may sound exaggerated, but it is also something Duke has carefully considered.
The threshold for beauty equipment must be high, that’s for sure, after all, it’s a high-end route.
As for what to do if no one reaches the fifth level membership in the future, this is not a problem. The worst thing is that Duke will do more activities, such as recharging to get points, spending to get double points, etc. He is too familiar with this kind of stuff.
.
Duke even thought about setting it directly at level six membership with 100,000 points, but he thought about it and forgot about it.
After all, using beauty equipment costs money, and the price is not low.
The most important thing is that the effect of this beauty device is not permanent, it requires continuous use!
The effect of the beauty instrument was originally one percent of the original version, but Duke asked No. 2 to modify it to spread out the one percent effect.
This one percent effect may take a month or several months to achieve.
During this period of time, you cannot remain unchanged. Time does not wait for anyone. While you are using beauty equipment, time is also destroying you.
So as long as the beauty instrument can beat the time a little bit, this time is also calculated on the second day.
The simple understanding is that no matter who uses the beauty device, there will be good results, but if you want to do it in one go like Alyssa and Qin, it is definitely impossible.
After all, if the treatment is cured in one visit, how can Duke make money?
Besides, if it were to be solved at once, Duke would definitely have set the price extremely high, and few people would be able to afford it.
On the contrary, if you charge a small amount of money each time, you can see obvious results. It's like boiling a frog in warm water, they don't feel too bad, and Duke can also make money.
This is a win-win.
Don't talk about being evil, after all, it's the only one in the city, and it's not a shabby business. After all, Duke is not a liar, and his products are effective.
As for whether this beauty device will be copied when there are more people in the future, Duke doesn't care at all.
The medical cabin is very powerful, but the most important thing is the active substances. Without the active substances, the medical cabin is mostly useless, so Duke has no worries about being copied or plagiarized.
…
Time passed quickly, and at two hours and fifty-five minutes, Duke came over again with Alyssa.
When they walked to the beauty machine, Claire had just gotten up and picked up the small mirror next to it to see the effect.
Snap——
A mirror slipped from the hand and broke into several pieces.
Claire retracted her look of shock. After seeing Duke, she immediately grabbed his hand and asked:
Chapter completed!
