Outside the Erxue Tower that day, the sales manager of Runwanjia Spiritual Equipment Factory failed to buy the patent copyright for the portable lamp.
Although he rejected the other party and the other party did not pester him again, Duke did not hesitate to speculate on others with the greatest malice.
If Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory really wants to start a business war.
He has to be prepared to deal with it.
"Kleilinda, the director of the Observation Tower, is a third-level arcane mage; Aziguli, the director of the legal department of the Erudite Tower, is also a third-level arcane mage... These two are the main arcanists behind the Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory...
…This scale is not small.”
Basically, the scale of Runwanjia Spiritual Equipment Factory is on the same level as the Shenjiao City Hotel.
Facing a company of this size, Duke must challenge within the rules and be cautious in words and deeds, otherwise it will be quite troublesome for the other party to find loopholes.
"Of course."
"Now that the Giant of Light is still a baby, the other party may not really care. Maybe when the Giant of Light grows to a certain size, the other party will pay attention to it."
The next day, the R&D Department of the Giant of Light Company sent two sets of sample products for headlamps, miner's lamps and portable lamps.
All are made by skilled old craftsmen, purely handmade, and the texture is quite thick.
"Practice makes perfect. This polishing skill is much better than mine." Duke sighed, picked up a set of headlamps and miner's lamps, and walked out of the office.
Knocked on the door of the office next door.
"Your Excellency Duke." Kiriya's assistant Jisi opened the door, "Please come in, what do you want?"
"Is Kylia here? I have something to do with her."
"Here you are, I'll go and notify the lady right now." The area where Jisi is located is outside the office, so you have to go through a door to see Kiriya.
Soon Kilia invited Duke into the office inside: "It's rare to see you here, Duke, would you like to have coffee or tea?"
"No need, I just drank a lot." Duke put the things in his hands directly on the table without doing any ink, "I opened a company of my own, the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company, and these are my company's upcoming listings.
I’ll give it to you to take a look at the product.”
"Have you started your own company?" Kylia was a little surprised. In her eyes, Duke was an image of someone who only focused on academics and paid no attention to worldly matters.
"Working around to earn some living expenses." Duke smiled and took out the headlamp and miner's lamp to demonstrate, "These are our company's flagship lamps. The headlamp is mainly worn on the head, so that both hands can be freed when working at night.
It is especially convenient for working in the mine."
Mining lamps are similar, except that they have more fixing methods and can be carried, carried, hung, or worn.
"These two lamps are absolutely necessary for going underground. The mines of Xibidi Ling Mining Company in this area may consider them."
After listening to Duke's sales pitch, Kiliya reached out and brushed the wavy blond hair beside her ear, and said: "So you are here to sell me products. I think these two lamps are very interesting, but I have never been involved in the family business.
Passed."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I just gave it to you to try. If you think it's good, you can just mention it to the management of Xibiti someday."
Duke gave Kylia lamps, in line with the principle of making a difference if there is no date.
After all, the Nutao family is the largest shareholder of the Xibit Ling Mining Company. At the same time, the Nutao family has many minerals in the local area and can use headlamps and miner's lamps.
As the new arcane mage of the Raging Waves family, Kiriya will sooner or later come into contact with these businesses, or the clan members who are in charge of the businesses.
With that said, Duke introduced the portable lamp again.
This portable lamp is built-in, small and exquisite and looks cool: "If headlamps and miner's lamps are both needed for work, then I think you will need this portable lamp even if you are a Kylia. It has built-in storage."
The spirit card can be charged anytime and anywhere."
"It's indeed very convenient." Kiriya took the portable lamp and looked around, "This is much easier than carrying the Lingfeng Lamp."
"You turn the lamp head, yes, it's in that position." Duke said.
Kiriya turned the lamp head and immediately discovered that the light beam illuminated by the portable lamp was no longer a straight line, but spread out.
A surprised expression appeared on her beautiful face.
While admiring it, Duke explained: "The adjustable aperture allows the portable light to take into account both long-distance lighting and short-distance lighting, and can be adjusted according to needs. Whether walking at night or getting up at night, I believe it is better than the Lingfeng lamp."
Use."
After a pause, Duke added: "It's daytime now, the effect is not very obvious yet, you can wait until night and try again."
"I can already feel its benefits. This is indeed a great invention." Kiriya said happily, "I will keep these lamps and give them a try. If there is a chance, I will help you tell the family
Recommended."
"Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner another day."
"You're too kind, it's just a little effort."
Without much conversation, Duke politely left.
If it had been him in his previous life, Duke would have shamelessly chatted with the beautiful woman he admired. However, this is not his interest in this life. Compared with studying spiritual arcana and doing business to make money, beauty can only be ranked third.<
/p>
Giss sent Duke out of the office. When she came back, she saw Kilia fiddling with her headlamp. She couldn't help but said, "I really made a mistake. I thought Duke would be like Lidman, who would focus on academic research."
What?"
"This is normal. Duke is an arcane mage who comes from the bottom and has more urgent needs to improve his life."
"Miss, do you think anyone will buy this kind of lamp?"
"Definitely. The inventor's idea is very good. You see, after putting this headlamp on your head, your hands are completely freed." Kiriya put the headlamp on her wavy blond hair, and her elegant image was reflected on her head.
The lamp was completely destroyed, but it had a bit more life.
"It's not in good taste to wear it," said Geese.
"Ordinary people may not mind it, but if I had to choose, I would choose to wear it when working at night."
Taking off the headlamp, Kiriya continued: "Aunt Jisi, help me put it away. I will give it to my father later."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Miss, you are so friendly to your colleagues and willing to help them sell products." Jisi praised.
"But it's really convenient, isn't it? I think it can indeed improve work efficiency." Kiriya said matter-of-factly, "And look at this portable lamp, it can really replace the Lingfeng lamp. When it goes on the market, I will
I suggest you, Auntie Jisi, buy one too."
"If it was your suggestion, miss, I would buy it."
……
The other side.
Duke, who wanted to make a fool of himself, asked Mulali to go to the Erudite Tower and make an appointment to visit Erwin.
Kylia is just a backup. Duke doesn't really believe that a little girl from a big noble family can dictate the family business. You must know that the Earl of Furious Waves family has been divided into many branches, and the blood between each branch has long been weak.<
/p>
Duke's real hope is Ervin.
Only this Arcane Master with the title of true scholar can truly see the value of portable lamps and headlamps, and then he has enough authority to facilitate the purchase of the Xibiti Spirit Mine Company.
"But then again, Erwin has so many things to do, can he take this little business seriously?"
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can get him to praise me, it's worth it."
In the afternoon, Murali returned from the Erudite Tower and brought the appointment information: "Sir Erwin is not at the Erudite Tower. His secretary will help you convey the appointment request. You need to wait until Lord Erwin comes back to confirm the time.
”
"Then just wait." Duke nodded.
Then he said: "Let your aunt go to Sheshou Town later and discuss with your father the purchasing needs of Sheshou Town."
The products of the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company already have major customers before they are even launched on the market.
At least Sheshou Town, under the rule of the Black Snake family, will provide orders as soon as possible, and Youshi Clothing Company will also purchase a batch of lamps.
"My mother sent a letter, saying that my father has been contacted and that the family will support the Giant of Light as much as possible."
"The Black Snake family are my close comrades-in-arms."
Duke pinched Mulali's cheek with some emotion, and then felt that the feeling was not as good as before.
I don’t know if it’s because of their bloodline that most of the female members of the Black Snake family have oval faces.
Beautiful, beautiful, but not enough meat.
"I don't know what it would feel like to hold Kilia Furtao's slightly baby-fat face." The thought flashed past and was thrown away by Duke.
After get off work, the shuttle flies through the streets and alleys.
Every day, Duke will ask his driver Royce to fly along different streets and browse the cultural scenery of Shenjiao City, instead of following a fixed route and repeating the same scenery countless times.
Suddenly.
Duke saw a familiar figure in the streets and alleys.
"Stop!"
The shuttle stopped at the sound, and Duke looked out through the car window, but there was no familiar figure in the streets and alleys.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Murali didn't know why.
"Nothing." Duke shook his head and rolled up the car window again, thinking that maybe his eyes were dazzled and he didn't care.
The shuttle blew out a stream of air and started flying again.
When the shuttle disappeared without a trace, two people, an old man and a young man, walked out of the shop in the alley. They stood fixedly at the entrance of the alley, looking at the street where there was no shuttle.
"Grandpa, why are you hiding?"
"Because grandpa met an acquaintance, but was too embarrassed to see him." The old man shook his head and took his grandson back to his community quickly.
The community has a good view, and they are all townhouses.
When the grandson got home, he shouted: "Today, grandpa met an acquaintance riding a shuttle! The shuttle is so handsome, can our family afford it?"
"Sitting on a shuttle?" The old man's son raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly, "Dad, among the people you know, the only one who can fly a shuttle is Lord Duke, right?"
"Your dad and I know a lot of important people!"
"Come on, you are always bragging to your son. You have been running a card repair shop in Sheshou Town for half your life. I'm afraid Master Ao has never seen a few of them."
"Humph!"
"Just tell your son, are you Lord Duke?"
The old man was the original owner of Little Sam's card shop, Old Sam. Hearing this, he sighed and answered after a while: "It's Duke."
"Hey, why don't you say hello to him? We met him by chance and said hello. What's the matter? That's Master Arcana!" The son had an annoyed expression on his face. "You don't want to go find him. I met him on the way.
You can!"
"What do you know!" Old Sam scolded.
"I don't understand why. Didn't you just make a fortune from his patent? He is an arcane mage, and he still cares about this?"
"Show some shame, I feel guilty towards Duke. I sold the coating technology for 1,500 gold dragons, and then we had a big house like a townhouse." Old Sam shook his head.
"I gave him ten golden dragons and sent him away."
"I know this...but what happened to the 10 gold dragons? Didn't you say that he only wanted 5 gold dragons at that time? You doubled it for him. It's not enough. It's your ability to make more or less. You can't even repair the card."
Did the store give it to him?"
"I have earned my ability, but I have lost my conscience."
Old Sam ignored his son and said to himself: "I couldn't wait to buy a big house in Shenjiao City after I got the money. I also bought a house for your sister, and then I used the money to do business with you. I didn't think about it at all.
I didn’t even give him my address because I was afraid that he would trouble me.”
He looked at his son and said in a solemn tone: "If Duke stays in Snakehead Town for the rest of his life, nothing will happen. But now he is an arcane mage master... You said, I used 10 gold dragons to take away his patent.
, what would he think?"
The son muttered: "Isn't that what he is willing to sell?"
"He is willing to buy it. He didn't come to me again after he was promoted to Arcane Mage. But if I really see him, do I have to take out the money?" Old Sam said with a look of hatred on his face, "It's Mr. Arcane Mage's money."
, you dare to make money? You are greedy!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The son shrank his head and said with a smile: "That's not the case, is it? Our family has spent all the money, how can we get it out..."
"So, just go about your small business honestly and don't always think about clinging to the powerful. Who are you and who am I to be qualified to cling to the powerful!"
"Oh, but Dad, this is our family's only chance!"
"Stop shouting by chance. What you and I have to do now is to wish Duke higher and higher, to a height where we can't see his back, and then completely forget about me, the old guy who made his money, so that our family
You can keep your money."
After Old Sam finished speaking, he lay down on the sofa a little tired.
He sighed in a low voice: "How could I have known that Duke was really promoted to Arcane Mage? When I praised him for having the talent of a scholar, he really praised me and it came true..."
……
Duke has long forgotten about old Sam.
Although he has always been very grateful to Old Sam.
But Old Sam didn't leave him an address in the city, so he understood what the other party meant.
So when the shuttle passed by an alley, he saw the back of a figure that looked like Old Sam. He just stopped and took a look, without getting out of the car to look for it.
But this also gave him another idea.
After successfully making an appointment with Erwin, the arcane mage of the Earth, when he went to the Erudite Tower, he asked the exclusive guide to check it for him. "Continuous coating technology... Okay, I will help you find similar patented technology.
”
Then Duke entered Erwin's office.
Erwin has his own mage tower, but as the chief director of the Erudite Tower, he basically stays in the Erudite Tower to work all year round.
"Lord Erwin."
"Sit down." Erwin still looked like a kind old man, "Why do you want to make an appointment with me? Are you planning to come to the Erudite Tower to work?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I am meeting you today because I am a junior and want to ask you, an old-timer in natural history, for advice."
"Oh, what can I ask for?"
"The lamps I invented." Duke took out several samples such as portable lamps and headlamps. "From your perspective, can you tell me whether these lamps have market value and whether they can be brought to the bottom of the society to benefit the common people?"
One or two blessings?"
The purpose of the Erudite Tower is to spread the achievements in the field of spiritual arcana to the bottom of society.
Duke is putting a layer of skin on the lamps to bind them morally.
"I have seen your patent, and combined with the lamps you brought, I can see that it has a certain value and should be able to sink to the bottom of the private sector." Erwin played with the lamps carefully and gave his opinion.
Conclusion, "There is a big head start."
Duke was delighted: "I opened a company, the Giant of Light Company, which specializes in producing various lamps to bring light to the people at the bottom."
"This is a good thing."
"So, if you think these lamps are good, maybe the Xibit Ling Mining Company can purchase a batch to send a signal and facilitate the rapid promotion of these lamps to the bottom of society." Duke continued to talk about benefiting.
The banner of the people.
Erwin smiled and said nothing. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and said, "You little kid, you have a very flexible mind. Your ideas have come to me."
"Sir, you are the beacon of natural history in Heijiao River. I am determined to make a career in natural history, so I naturally want to get your guidance."
Erwin has long been immune to this level of flattery.
He did not answer directly, but said with a smile: "As long as the lamps are indeed valuable, I believe that ordinary people will make the right choice. I have lived in a high tower for too long... Of course, I will talk to Xi Bidi
Say hello to the purchasing department."
After hearing the last words, Duke knew he was safe: "Thank you, sir!"
"You are a promising young man. You must continue your efforts in the field of natural history. After graduation, there will be a place for you in the Erudite Tower."
"I will."
After getting a satisfactory result, Duke didn't waste Erwin's time anymore and quickly got up to say goodbye and left the Erudite Tower.
After getting on the speed car, he ordered his follower Andre: "Go back to the Giant of Light and tell the people in the Propaganda Department that Sir Erwin is full of praise for the portable lamp series products and ask them to summarize a publicity plan and hand it over to
Me."
"Yes, sir." Andre responded.
Returning to Master Penrose Tower, Duke inspected the experimental progress of the research team, then returned to his office to continue studying spiritual magnetic waves and slide cards.
At the same time, I took the time to practice making a level 1 arcane card - Arcane Shield.
"Xiaoyi, the progress is getting faster and faster. We can already draw two-thirds of it. If we work harder, we will try to win it within two weeks."
"Xiaoyi has been working hard. Master, please work hard with Xiaoyi. Success is not far from us."
"The way you speak is becoming more and more like a normal person."
"There is still a lot of room for improvement." Xiaoyi responded. As a nine-ring level arcane weapon, it has huge potential, but it is limited by Duke's hardware not being able to keep up.
After Duke was promoted to Arcane Mage, Xiaoyi's computing power and human-computer interaction abilities were rapidly improving.
Busy until get off work.
After returning to the villa, Butler Morris came over and said, "Sir, the balance on the Family Spirit Dragon Card is no longer less than this month's expenses."
"Are you out of money? I'll transfer it to you." Duke took out his personal Spirit Dragon Card.
He opened three Spirit Dragon cards by himself.
A personal spirit dragon card is carried around with him to store most of his personal property; a public account spirit dragon card is kept by Mulali, who is responsible for various expenses when going out; and a family spirit dragon card is kept by Morris, who is responsible for the villa.
A corresponding expense.
Swipe each other's spirit dragon cards.
Duke transferred 200 gold dragons to be used for the expenses of these two months.
However, when I took back my personal Spirit Dragon Card, I took a look at the balance on it and found that there was only less than 100 gold dragons left.
"The balance on the public account Linglong card is not much...the expenses are too much these days." Duke became a little depressed.
I bought the shuttle in installments and haven’t paid it off yet.
The little chicken is clamoring to eat spiritual crystals every day, and one spiritual crystal will cost you 25 gold dragons.
The expenses of the Knight Guards, the Broken Sword Mercenary Group, the expenses of the entourage, and the entertainment expenses between arcane mages were all frantically overdrafting his Spirit Dragon Card.
"If I couldn't get some experimental supplies from Penrose Mage Tower, I would be too poor to even do experiments now!"
"I didn't pay for the cost of the Giant of Light. It was all maintained by the 2,400 gold dragons invested by three companies. In the future, I may have to invest a sum of money to expand the production scale."
Finally.
He scratched the hair on his temples: "I have to make some quick money!"
However, there were not many places where he could make quick money, so he quickly used the postman owl to send a letter to Captain Xina of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group.
The letter asked Zina to collect a damaged 3-ring spirit card in Snake Head Town.
"Return to the old business and repair cards!" This is Duke's decision. With Xiaoyi assisting in the card repair plan, he is better at repairing cards than any card maker.
For some severely damaged 3-ring cards, the card maker may be helpless.
But after Xiaoyi's calculations, there may still be a glimmer of hope for restoration, and this hope is his guarantee of making money.
Zina's response was quick.
On the third day, she came to Shenjiao City in person and met Duke: "Sir, your letter is really timely. Recently, the number of spiritual beasts around Cuihai Valley has increased sharply. The major mercenary groups can no longer bear it and are heading towards Cuihai Valley again.
Hunting."
"Aren't you afraid of the Black Jade Horseshoe Crab Dragon?"
"You may think that if you don't provoke the Black Jade Scorpion, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon will not show up. After all, the Black Jade Horseshoe Dragon has never appeared in the past one or two years." Zina shook her head, "Mercenaries are the tip of the sword.
No one wants to get into the blood-licking business and live in vain."
"That's it."
"After I got your letter, I went around to various mercenary groups and successfully received seven damaged 3-ring arcane cards."
Xina took out seven arcane cards.
Duke took it in his hand, did a brief inspection, and then, through Xiaoyi's quick calculations, determined that four of them had been completely damaged.
"These four spirit cards cannot be repaired. I will give the remaining three cards a try." Duke ordered, "Have dinner here at noon and then go back. After you go back, you will continue to collect cards. You will continue to collect 3-ring arcane cards. Some
You can also collect valuable 2-level arcane cards, but don’t collect the ones that are too cheap.”
As a card maker, almost no one wants to continue the card repair business.
Duke can afford to put aside his net worth, but ordinary 2-level arcane cards are worth dozens or hundreds of gold dragons each, and repairing the cards will probably only earn a fraction, which is a waste of time for him.
"I understand, I will increase my efforts to collect cards after I go back." Zina said happily.
Collecting cards, repairing them, and selling them were her money-making plans that she had planned a long time ago. However, after Duke was promoted to arcane mage, she had no time to repair her cards.
She continued: "You repair high-end cards, and Little Sam's card repair shop repairs low-end cards. The card repair industry basically belongs to our Broken Sword. Before the end of the Cuihai Valley Development War, this industry will have a big impact.
Profit."
"Don't be in a hurry to make money... I'm a little tight on money now. I just opened a spiritual weapon company, and the investment is relatively large. If I wait for a year and a half, I can almost achieve financial freedom."
Duke explained the reason why he repaired the card.
Then he said: "You continue to develop Broken Sword, and when the company gets on the right track, money is not a problem. There are a lot of spiritual materials in Cuihai Valley, which are urgently needed for my next research. It is best not to delay, as this will affect me
research."
"Sir, please send me the list of materials and we will look for them at any time."
"I will send it when needed."
Ryuzina had lunch at the villa.
In the afternoon, Duke took advantage of the weekend to ride on the spirit horse he bought and took Levin to the Duke-James Farm.
"Levin, you are walking around the farm with a pocket and white gloves." Duke patted Levin on the shoulder.
Levin, this silly big man, is like a family member in his mind.
Usually Levin is always bored at home. Whenever there is a chance, Duke will take Levin out with him to let him relax.
"Master, can I untie the collar of White Gloves?" Levin asked.
White Glove is a four-eared hound, and he was also the only one among a group of four-eared hounds raised in the countryside that was brought to the city.
"Of course, it's fun."
"Hmm!"
Levin untied White Glove's collar and ran to the farm. Kabuto had already become familiar with Levin and ran into the farm together.
Duke rode a spirit horse and joined the guard knight captain Vivian: "Vivian, I can also "Imperial Dragoon", let me practice together with the guard, and stay in the bushes on the outskirts.
