"Your Excellency, the rifle you are referring to is a shoulder-fired long-barreled firearm for individual soldiers?"
Aslan asked tentatively.
Bishop Ella was stunned for a moment, then showed a satisfied smile.
"A very apt description, yes, it seems you have been doing some research."
Aslan did not hide it, he nodded very generously.
"However, this rifle is too powerful and has been resisted by most professionals. I only studied it secretly out of curiosity. The emergence of rifles will completely change the shape of the existing army. I think the risk is too great."
Aslan's words represent the attitude of most current professionals in the central countries. Bishop Ella is very satisfied with Aslan's attitude.
If Aslan had supported the mass production of rifles from the beginning, he would have been jealous of Bishop Ella.
"Indeed, this is just a precautionary measure for the church. I will send someone a rifle to you in a few days. You can see if you can imitate it or design a brand new rifle based on it."
Bishop Ella's words made Aslan frown directly, and at the same time he kept praying to God the Father.
"I really want to design a brand new rifle, but I'm more afraid of becoming a sinner through the ages."
In the end, Aslan rejected Bishop Ella's request.
Bishop Ella didn't pay too much attention and did not continue to force Amuro. He needed some time to convince Amuro.
When Bishop Ella went to the dance floor, his eyes gradually darkened and he sighed silently.
It's not that he fears or hates anything, but he feels a little guilty. At least so far, the Omniscient Church has treated him well. Although it's because of money, it has indeed given a lot of help and is even willing to provide some protection.
However, he is planning to use the Omniscient Church to create a war of faith and plunge the entire central plain into chaos.
During the dance, Parks suddenly received some news and hurriedly said goodbye to Aslan and left, leaving his wife Helen at the dance.
As soon as Parks left, Helen secretly slipped a small note to Aslan.
Aslan glanced at it and went to the bathroom on the second floor from another direction.
Because the villa was designed to hold dance parties from the beginning, there are six bathrooms on the first floor, which are enough for daily dance guests. Only in special emergencies, guests will go to the bathroom on the second floor.
Opening the bathroom door, Helen happened to be applying lipstick in front of the mirror.
Aslan directly hugged Helen's waist, kicked the door gently with his left foot and closed the door.
"Why did you ask me to come here?"
After Aslan finished speaking, he began to touch Helen.
Helen did not push Aslan away as before, but cooperated very well and hooked Aslan's head with her backhand.
The gesture was very obvious, Aslan would not be polite in any way.
He lifted Helen onto the sink, and soon the two of them entered a fighting state.
………………
On Monday, Aslan came to Beresto Lighting Company to make the final signing.
Parks and Lukaku went out to greet him, but after Aslan appeared, Parks' pupils shrank slightly and his eyes widened subconsciously.
He saw his wife coming from another carriage.
Today, Helen is wearing a formal OL uniform and gold-rimmed glasses, showing off her smart and capable look.
Jesiah had already known about Helen's arrival, because this time the contract was signed by Helen. As for the agreement between Helen and Aslan, Jesiah would not care about it, and he did not want to know.
The only thing that is certain is that Amuro does not have the strength to fight against Bodien yet, so he pushed Helen out as a shield. If Beresto Lighting Company is in any danger, it will not affect Amuro.
Amuro played this skill very smoothly, and Jesiah had to admire him.
Parks did not speak the whole time, but looked at Helen with strange eyes, but Helen did not see him from beginning to end. It was not until Helen signed her name on the contract that Aslan smiled and shook hands with Jesiah.
After signing the contract, Aslan went out to dinner with Jesiah, leaving Helen and the other two shareholders in the company.
"What's going on Helen?" Parks asked impatiently.
Helen frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "This is a company, please address me by my title."
Lukaku has known Helen for a long time, and his wife often asks Helen to go shopping and have afternoon tea.
"General Manager Helen? What's going on? What is the company's next strategic policy?"
Lukaku asked impatiently.
Helen took out a document, which was about the production and sales plan of lanterns and gas lamps.
This is the main product produced by Beresto Lighting Company in the future. Of course, magic lamps will also be produced, but the number will decrease because Amuro Magic Academy was first established and there were not so many magicians specializing in the production of magic lamps.
Lukaku and Parks took a look and subconsciously widened their eyes.
Parks shook his feet irritably, while Lukaku looked surprised.
Parks's irritation is because Beresto Lighting Company has offended Magister Bodion. It will be very difficult to purchase unmodified magic lamps in the future. Fortunately, Amuro Magic Academy provides magic lamps, but the quantity is only the original size.
One-fifth of the total, which will mean that the annual income will be reduced by 80%,
What frightened Parks the most was offending Magister Bodion. No wonder Jesiah couldn't wait to sell the shares, even at a discount and bleeding a lot of money.
Aslan also put Helen in charge of Beresto Lighting Company in order to avoid a direct conflict with Bodien.
Parks was afraid that if Amuro lost to Bodien in a future fight, Bodien would settle the score between them.
Compared to Parks' panic and annoyance, Lukaku's surprise was very simple.
From the data point of view, the brightness of horse lanterns is similar to that of candles and oil lamps, but the price is only half or even one-third of the two, which is more in line with the living needs of the people at the bottom.
As for the gas lamp, he was even more curious. Is it really as bright as the one in the project?
If it is really that bright, it will become Beresto Lighting Company's trump card and completely occupy the mid-to-low-end lighting market in the entire Chester, no, the entire Principality of Chill.
How great the benefits contained in this are, Lukaku can't help but tremble when he thinks about it.
"Can I see the product?" Lukaku asked nervously.
Helen nodded.
"Let's go together! This is why I hired a carriage to come here today."
Parks wanted to speak, but Helen stared back with a sharp look.
"What matters at home is up to the family."
When the two came to the Guangming Research Institute in Thorny Street and saw the finished product and effect of the gas lamp, they were both shocked and speechless.
