"Mr. Zhubuk, if you don't do it for me, I will ask to see Mr. Erwin, and I will complain to Mr. Erwin!"
Duke said loudly at the door of the office of the corporate director of Erxue Tower.
Let everyone in the corridor hear it.
"Your Excellency Duke!" Zhubik looked helpless, "It's useless for you to make noise here. Regarding Runwanjia's infringement compensation, we are further verifying the statistics with Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory. When the statistics are completed, we will naturally urge them
Pay compensation as soon as possible."
"I don't agree with your work attitude. You are covering up the Runwanjia. You know that the Giant of Light and the Runwanjia are competing in business, but you have done nothing to unfairly benefit the Runwanjia. This is
Very serious malfeasance!"
Duke said, then turned around and walked out of the door a step away: "I'm going to see Mr. Erwin and ask the Chief Director to seek justice for me."
Zhubek, who is also a level 1 arcane mage, slapped his forehead helplessly: "Mr. Duke, I have made it very clear. If you really want to see Lord Erwin, then please do so. By the way, I would like to remind you.
Come on, you need to make an appointment to see Mr. Erwin."
"Then I'll go find Master Aziguli."
"You also need to make an appointment to see Master Aziguli. In addition, Master Azgulli has given instructions that she does not want to see you."
"Why?" Duke said in disbelief, "I haven't even seen her yet!"
"I don't know. Anyway, Master Aziguli has issued a notice that no one in the Erxue Tower is allowed to bring you into her office floor."
"This is discrimination!"
Duke was trembling with anger.
It was clear that he was the victim of the infringement case, but as a result, Aziguli, the head of the legal department, not only did not comfort the victim, but even did not allow the victim to see her.
"Your Excellency Zhubek, you must speak up for me. Lord Aziguli discriminates against me. I think she is guilty of cheating and making unjust profits in the case of Runwanjia infringing the Giant of Light!" Duke said righteously.
Said, "I hope you can report this illegal behavior to Lord Erwin!"
Zhubek rolled his eyes several times in succession: "I'm talking about Duke, everyone is a level 1 arcanist mage, so why do you have to make things difficult for me? If you are unhappy, why don't you go find Master Aziguli? I'm really already here
Enforce the law impartially and all processes are carried out in accordance with procedures!"
Duke chuckled: "Isn't it true that I can't see Lord Aziguli?"
"Then there's nothing I can do!"
"You can't help me and I can't help it. Runwanjia has made it clear that it wants to kill my company. How can I not stand up? Ms. Aziguli is the director and shareholder of Runwanjia. I think she is involved in this matter.
It’s a disgraceful act, so I have to make a scene to make her quit!"
In any case, internal fighting between Arcane mages is prohibited, and personal safety is absolutely protected by the Seven Towers Federation. Duke doesn't mind jumping a little on his own.
Besides, there is someone behind him.
Suktala and Penrose are both his teachers and mentors, and they are both third-level arcane mages, so they are not afraid of Clinda and Aziguli's difficulties.
"But you're not teasing her, you're teasing me!" Chabik said speechlessly.
Duke walked into the office, closed the door and said with a smile: "Calm down, I will be your host tonight and treat you to a drink at the Shenjiao City Hotel. I will be a frequent visitor to the Erudite Tower in the future, and there will still be opportunities for us to interact with each other."
There are plenty of them.”
"Ah, you still want to make trouble?"
"Get down to business!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course." Duke narrowed his eyes and smiled. He was going to apply for a patent for a bright hand lamp in front of Erwin.
The main focus is on surprise and sensational effect.
Now, while they are engaged in a vigorous business war, they come to make trouble in person, all to paralyze Clinda and Aziguli.
Then the strong light hand lamp was promoted and put on the market, which directly crushed Runwanjia's smart light lamp into slag.
"Let's go, Mr. Chapik." Duke felt that the heat was almost over, so he said goodbye and left the office of the head of the corporate department.
However, he did not leave the Erudite Tower, but took Mulali with him and wandered around the crowded floors again.
If you have a chance, go and sit in the offices of the Arcane mages who work in the Erudite Tower, talk to them about the lawsuit between the Giant of Light and the Runwan family, and scold the Runwan family for not paying compensation even if they lose the lawsuit. In short, we need to use this
This incident ruined the reputation of Runwanjia.
"Sir, it's almost dark, and the Erudite Tower will be off work soon. Are we still here to act?" Mulali asked quietly.
"What's wrong, do you think it's a bit embarrassing for your husband and me to do this?"
"No, sir, you are doing a just thing."
"It's good to have this awareness, little Lili. Remember that evil cannot prevail against good. As long as we stick to justice, we can be invincible." Duke said carelessly, "You see, there are many arcane mages with higher levels than me.
, but when I approached them, apart from avoiding them, who was rude to me?"
"It seems so."
"It's because they feel guilty and know that some arcane mages have done something unfair in this matter, so they tolerate me politely."
In a twist, Duke continued: "Of course, this speed must be grasped well, otherwise it will really piss off several high-level arcane mages, and they will be left with nothing to eat."
Arcane mages are not all good-tempered gentlemen. If Duke really wants to make them angry, he will definitely not kill them, but it is very possible to reward them with a few big bucks.
In terms of fighting to the death, Duke is invincible within the first level, and can find opportunities to kill him at the second level, but may be powerless against the third level.
However, the Seven Towers Federation attaches extraordinary importance to the safety of arcane mages.
Duke didn't dare to draw his gun on the arcane mage easily, even in a deserted land in the wild. He didn't dare to draw his gun on the arcane mage. Once he fired, no matter how he concealed it, it would leave a mark on the spiritual level, and then he would be captured by the high arcane mage.
The mage used extraordinary means to find out.
According to the official records of the Seven Towers Federation, no registered arcanist mage was killed without being able to find out who the murderer was. Even if the murderer was a seventh-level arcane mage, he would still be found out and executed.
The result of the trial for self-mutilation among arcane mages is life for life.
As for arcane mages killing ordinary people, even monks from the Three Seas such as the Spirit Planter and the Great Knight would hardly be punished to death. At most, they would be severely punished.
If Master Ao is really heinous, he will first be removed from the Magic Spirit Tower and lose federal asylum.
If someone kills him then, he will be killed, or he will leave federal territory and hide.
For example, Bynes, whom Duke met in the forest cabin before, was expelled from the Faling Tower because of his research on forbidden experiments. In order to avoid federal punishment and avoid being pursued by his enemies, he had to live in seclusion in the forest until he died of old age.
Wilderness.
"Sir, your grasp of people's hearts is amazing." Mulali exclaimed inexplicably.
"Just average, third in the federation." Duke rubbed the assistant's shoulder-length hair, "Let's go, let's get off work when others get off work."
Saw Duke and his entourage leaving.
A staff member of the Erudite Tower hurriedly got on the spiritual ladder, went straight to Aziguli’s office floor, knocked on the door and entered the office.
"Sir, His Excellency Duke has left."
"Huh." Aziguli breathed a sigh of relief obviously on her pretty face, and then greeted through gritted teeth, "This country bumpkin is finally gone. How can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
She, Aziguli, is a dignified Level 3 arcane mage and the head of the legal department of the Erxue Tower. The entire commercial disputes in the Black Dragon River area are under her management.
It’s so shameless!
As a result, Duke blocked him in the tower and spread the word that she had colluded with Clarinda, used the Runwan family to suppress dissidents, bullied the market, and owed money to the old man...
Although this is indeed the case, this is the consistent style of arcane mages.
All walks of life are basically controlled by arcane mages, and there is no room for ordinary people to participate in competition. All resources are in the hands of arcane mages.
Runwanjia, like any company, is a tool for Master Arcane to make money.
But for the sake of social harmony, we must cover up some of our ugly eating habits.
This was suddenly revealed, and after all, the face was tarnished.
"Sir, next time His Excellency Duke comes again, you should send someone to drive him away, otherwise he will always be here to ruin... ruining the reputation of the Runwan family is not an option." The secretary offered advice to Aziguli, "How about
Please tell the Discipline Department not to allow idlers to walk around the tower next time?"
"What's the point of hiding one's ears and stealing the bell?" Aziguli stood up and took two irritable steps in the office.
Then he looked at his secretary: "Do you think Duke's move was because the giant of light couldn't bear it, or was he deliberately trying to disgust me?"
"This...sir, I really can't say, but with the financial resources of Runwanjia, this business competition will definitely be won. Moreover, Master Clarinda has spoken to the surrounding cities, and the spiritual light can definitely defeat the portable light.
, occupying a dominant position in the market."
"Is this enough?" Aziguli shook her head, "I think it's hard to say. There are people behind Duke who support him. Doesn't that Suktala already regard Duke as his successor? She can support him with some financial resources.
, the giant of light can survive."
After a pause, Aziguli sighed and said: "Delaying payment of the infringement money can only delay Runwanjia's defeat. In this business competition, there is always a loss but no victory, alas!"
She felt that Clarinda was suffering from a demonic disease and had to fight a game with a slim chance of winning.
In the past, when spiritual weapon companies from other cities entered Shenjiao City, Runwanjia could rely on its home field to gain unanimous support from the local arcane mages, fight with the opponent, and then win.
But this time, it was internal strife.
The opponent is not a simple level 1 arcane mage, but a high-profile genius arcane mage who has found a backer early on.
"In the final analysis, Runwanjia failed to hold the patent!"
Aziguli saw clearly that even if the Giant of Light was defeated, it would not be a big deal to Duke, and he would still be able to survive on the royalties.
Therefore, Duke can fight to the end, and if he loses, he will just lose the shell of the Giant of Light.
"But can Runwanjia afford to lose? The company is huge, but there are very few real patents. Most of them are agency rights. And agency rights are the most unreliable. When time comes, they will have to face new competition, etc.
The Giant of Light has established a firm foothold and will definitely participate in the agency competition!"
By then.
The Giant of Light can erode Runwanjia’s market step by step.
"Sir, the Giant of Light only has a patent for portable lamps. How can Runwanjia be afraid of competing with the Giant of Light for its agency rights?"
"There is only one now, but with Duke's existence, who knows how many there will be in the future." Aziguli shook her head gently, "You don't need more. With a few more patents similar to portable lamps, the giant of light will be able to stand firm."
,cannot be knocked down."
Speaking of this, Aziguli suddenly sneered: "This country bumpkin has just joined Shenjiao City's dining table, and it seems that he has found the right target and wants to replace Runwanjia!"
Shenjiao City’s basic market is just that big.
If you can't open up new markets, you can only seize other people's markets. Now it seems that Runwanjia has become the target of Duke.
Aziguli knocked on the table: "The ambition is really big!"
"My lord..."
"I have decided to go crazy with Clarinda and tell the Runwan family to fully cooperate with the arrangements to stop the Giant of Light!"
"Yes."
……
Before you know it, the Chinese New Year has arrived.
The storm calendar year 4413 turns over and enters 4414, Duke is about to turn eighteen.
"Cheers, teacher!"
Duke sent all the service staff back to reunite with their families, including Mulali and Vivian, while he stayed in Suktala Master Tower.
Just in time to celebrate the holidays with my teacher.
"Cheers, Duke." Suktara smiled broadly.
In previous years, she spent the New Year celebrations with the Su clan. Now that the Mage Tower and the castle have been reorganized, most of the Su clan have been dismantled and driven away, with only a small number still living in the castle.
The lively atmosphere of the New Year's Festival is definitely not as good as in previous years, but this year she feels happy and satisfied from the bottom of her heart.
Put down the glass.
Suktara smiled and said: "My child, today is the New Year's Day. There will be no classes after dinner. Please accompany me for a walk in the castle."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Okay, teacher."
After eating, the old man and the young man took a walk on the castle wall.
The city wall is so clean that there is not a trace of dust, and outside the city wall it is covered with snow. It snowed heavily just yesterday.
Both of them are arcane mages, and their spiritual energy is concentrated throughout their bodies. They can't feel the slightest cold in the freezing afternoon. As for the followers and guards in the castle, they all stay far away and dare not come to disturb the two of them.
"It's another new year, and the teacher is another year older."
"But your spirit is still young."
"You kid, you have such a sweet mouth, but the teacher is already one hundred and sixty-one years old. The fog of deciphering the spiritual mysteries is already dim. I don't know how many years I have left to live." Suktara is already able to deal with death.
Face it calmly, "No matter what, I will try my best to teach you in the next few years."
"I will not live up to your expectations, teacher."
"I don't have much expectations. Speaking of which, I have been talking about replicating materials. Isn't it a little bit of a demon in my heart?"
Suktara thought about the past for a while, and said quietly: "Do you know where this evil barrier of mine originated?"
"Please tell me, teacher," Duke said.
"I had a short marriage, which lasted only ten years, but these ten years fully affected my life." Suktala looked at the snow-covered forest in the distance, "Vincent is mine.
Husband, he is an excellent level 1 arcane mage."
At that time, Suktala had just been promoted to arcane mage.
With the help of her elders, she married Vincent. After their marriage, the two of them were busy exploring spiritual mysteries, but their sweetness was never lost.
"Vincent chose to become an alchemist, and I also chose alchemy. We studied in the same mage tower."
"Actually, the teacher doesn't like to delve into spiritual mysteries. Haha, at that time I just wanted to have a child as soon as possible."
"Vincent always said, don't worry, having children will delay your spiritual practice."
"Later, when he saw that I was angry, he coaxed me and said, let's choose an alchemy direction and treat it as our first child. When it grows up, we will have a second child, a real child." Suk
Tara smiled calmly, "I really believed him."
"Teacher, did you choose the ring replication material?" Duke asked.
"No, it's the ring projection auxiliary material, the auxiliary material needed when the projection ring comes. That is our first and only child." Suktara said, with the brilliance of motherhood flashing across her face.
, "Now, this child has grown up and grown into a ring replicating material."
"Uh, that's it!"
Duke suddenly realized that Suktara regarded the research topic as the child of himself and her husband. He first studied the ring projection auxiliary materials, and after the research was completed, he continued to study the ring replication materials, step by step, and raised this direction like a child.<
/p>
At the same time, Duke also suddenly understood why Suktara showed no mercy to the people of the Su clan who were related by blood and drove them away immediately.
Because those Su clan members are not her relatives at all.
The relatives in her eyes are probably only research subjects treated like children.
Seemingly understanding what Duke was thinking, Suktala did not deny anything, but said calmly: "This is the devil in the teacher's heart. It may be difficult for people to understand, but this is what Vincent left to me.
The only one."
"Teacher, I understand and understand your persistence."
"You are such a good boy." Suktara smiled and touched Duke's face. "When I see you, I seem to see Vincent at that time. He may not be as talented as you, but he is as talented as you.
You are equally confident and feel that nothing can trouble you."
Ten years of married life, but more than a hundred years to remember.
Duke could not understand such a profound love, but it did not prevent him from respecting Suktara and accompanied the old man as he walked slowly along the city wall.
With this walk, January has passed.
By February, Giant of Light’s second round of financing also began.
Duke gave up the bottom line of holding 51% of the shares, reduced his shareholding to 30%, and successfully raised 400,000 Jinlong.
Of course, in order to firmly control the Giant of Light, he signed equity distribution agreements with many shareholders. He took most of the share resolution rights into his own hands, so that he could still control the Giant of Light - in fact, it didn't matter if he didn't have this power.
, after all, the patents are in his hands.
The rights are taken away just in case.
The arcane mages invest in the Giant of Light because they value Duke's future development, so they don't want the right to decide on shares, they just invest and don't say anything.
After getting the money, Duke provided new suggestions to the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company.
"The Runwanjia is coming fiercely, especially when cooperating with the local Arcane Master, there are signs of monopolizing the market. I think the Runwanjia can't compete with the Runwanjia in terms of high-level management, so we will choose to sink directly to the spiritual weapon
store."
"Sir, what do you mean?" Vuillard held a notebook and took notes carefully.
"Invest in spiritual weapon stores, directly give money to buy shares in every spiritual weapon store, let them become franchisees of Giant of Light, and sign an exclusive agreement to only sell Giant of Light's lamps!" Duke didn't know if this move would work.
, in short, just do it.
He continued: "In addition, the agency rights for ordinary lamps will be signed as soon as possible, and then the production line will be launched to compete with Runwanjia."
"Is this... stall going to be too big?" Vuillard was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? High-light handlamp technology can not only be applied to portable lamps. Any lamp can be applied to strong-light handlamp technology. When we get the agency rights for lamps, we will be able to develop more varieties on these basis."
Strong light fixtures."
For example, street lights on the street, lighting at home, signal lights on airships, and headlights on cars can all be developed with strong light series.
"I understand!" After understanding Duke's thoughts, Vuillard felt reassured and said excitedly, "I'll make arrangements right away so that the employees can work overtime and the sales team can work non-stop!"
"Don't forget to arrange for overtime pay and travel expenses. You can't just let the horses run without letting them eat grass."
"Yes!"
The 400,000 Jinlong capital raised allowed the Giant of Light to expand crazily again, and the factory area was expanded again and again.
The sales team and legal team are hiring every day.
After recruiting people, they are sent to various market towns in other cities to invest in every spiritual weapon shop - the golden dragon is given for free just to sign an exclusive agreement. Most of the spiritual weapon shops are willing. After all, the shares of small shops are not worth it.
Comparable to the golden dragon you got.
By the time the Giant of Light finished February, he had already invested in more than 500 spiritual weapon shops in cities and market towns in eight major regions.
In one fell swoop, the sales situation was reversed, allowing Giant of Light's lamps to beat Runwanjia in sales.
One takes the high-level route, and the other takes the grassroots route.
Facts have proved that the grassroots route is more suitable. After all, lamps such as portable lamps are mostly purchased by ordinary people.
But in fact, Giant of Light also has a product that sells well, and that is the built-in portable light.
Many wealthy people value the compactness and exquisiteness of built-in portable lights, and even many arcane mages have purchased built-in portable lights.
In order to catch up with the giant of light, Runwanjia is not to be outdone, and frequently uses tricks to compete for the market.
In the entire Fengxi area, newspapers everywhere are filled with advertisements and news about Runwanjia and the Giant of Light.
The brand awareness of the two is almost becoming a household name.
From March to April.
The Giant of Light's capital of 400,000 yuan is about to bottom out again, and this lighting war has lasted for half a year. Even though Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Manufacturer has a huge business, it has been struggling to cope with the challenge, and it even raised funds once.
Borrow.
Borrowed a lot of cash from various arcanist shareholders.
"If the fight continues, there will still be no winner." A group of arcane mage shareholders from the Runwanjia Spiritual Weapon Factory came to visit Clelinda Mage Tower, "Why don't we shake hands and make peace, both the Runwanjia and the Giant of Light
Wouldn’t it be nice for our big companies in Shenjiao City to coexist peacefully?"
Not only did they not get any dividends from Runwanjia this year, but they even borrowed a lot of money from Runwanjia, which made Ao Mage’s shareholders restless.
Everyone invests in Runwanjia to get money and resources.
I am not willing to sit back and watch as Runwanjia squanders my capital and causes damage to my interests.
"Yes, Your Excellency Clarinda, there is an old man named Suktara on Duke's side, and he is willing to pay to accompany him in his madness. Why don't we take a step back." Master You'ao said.
The financing of Giant of Light has not been leaked yet because it has signed a confidentiality agreement.
Everyone doesn't know that behind the Giant of Light, Duke has used strong light hand lamp technology as bait to unite a group of Arcane Mage shareholders.
I just thought that Suktara was old and confused, so he spent more than a hundred years of savings to accompany Duke crazy. Of course, even the support of a third-level arcane mage was enough to allow the Giant of Light to gain a firm foothold.
The mage is unwilling to confront someone head-on.
There are many profitable industries, so there is no need to stick to one market.
Clarinda was determined to continue the business war, and Aziguli was also willing to support him, but in the face of the menacing Arcane Master shareholders, he finally compromised.
There is no other reason. To this day, there is no hope of victory in the business war.
Moreover, we can no longer find excuses to delay the patent infringement fees owed to Duke, otherwise it will be too mouth-watering.
Before the compromise, Clarinda argued to herself: "I still insist on continuing to compete. It is impossible for Suktara to sell the Mage Tower to support Duke's Giant of Light! Maybe if we work harder, he won't be able to support it.
Go down, come and make peace with us, instead of us going to make peace with him."
"It doesn't matter whoever comes to make peace with anyone. We all look up and don't look down. There is no need to differentiate between high and low." Shareholder Youao Mage retorted.
Seeing this, Clinda sat slumped on the chair and waved her hands weakly: "Okay, I listen to you and find someone to make peace. The lighting market is divided half and half. From now on, the management of the company will be handed over to a professional team. I will
I won’t ask any more questions.”
I wanted to go crazy and fight to the end, but my teammates were not strong enough and voted early.
However, after sending someone to contact the Giant of Light, they quickly received a reply from the Giant of Light and Duke: "The lighting market will all be handed over to the Giant of Light. The other spiritual weapon markets will be divided half and half for the time being."
Clarinda suddenly became furious: "Arrogant!"
Then he summoned all Arcane Master shareholders and said coldly at the meeting: "It's not that I don't want to make peace, it's that the Giant of Light and that young man are trying to push the envelope even further! So, if he wants a business war, let's continue the business war and fight.
Until he is convinced!"
Before he could unify the opinions of shareholders.
Then he saw the secretary knocking on the door hurriedly, entering the conference room, rushing to his side in a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Sir, Your Excellency Duke has applied for a new patent from Lord Erwin, called 'Strong Light Technology'.
And jointly with the Giant of Light to launch the first generation of strong light series lamps."
"Strong light technology, what is that thing? Can his hand lamp be brighter than ours?" Clinda said, glaring.
The secretary swallowed a mouthful of saliva in fear and said stutteringly: "I went to see it in person and saw the strong light hand lamp sample. The sample was bright. It was really too bright!"
