Hearthstone Tavern.
Ino's hand stroked the skirt he was wearing. He had an impression of this skirt, that is, when Belle was an ordinary villager during the filming of "Beauty and the Devil".
It looks very simple on the surface, but if you look closely, you can still see that the dress is ingenious, and some of the details are very flattering.
Ino was not happy to put on this skirt again, but was very restrained. He clasped the skirt with both hands and looked at Joshua who was sitting opposite the desk.
"Ino, do you understand what I said just now?" Joshua looked at the succubus sitting in front of him.
The current Eno reminded Joshua of the first time he met him. He was like a rabbit who couldn't find a hole in the crowd. His timid eyes seemed that everyone around would eat this succubus in one bite.
Ino's hand holding the skirt relaxed slightly. After glancing at his surroundings uneasily, he raised his head and summoned up the courage to ask Joshua.
"Then... that... Your Highness Joshua, you... are you going to sell me to that merchant named Frit?!"
When Ino finished saying these words, Joshua heard the sound of something falling to the ground several times in a row outside his study.
"The people outside should be Tailin and Mrs. Marina, um... The dark elf of Black Dove seems to be waiting outside the door with a camera."
Ciri faithfully told the people who were outside Josh's study.
"That Belle is going to be sold can really make Nolan's headlines."
Joshua rubbed his forehead, then looked at the succubus with a frightened face.
It's no wonder that Ino is so scared today, but this succubus seems to have already made up his mind when he sits here.
"It's okay... It's okay, Your Highness Qiao Xiu... You have given me too much. If... my humble existence can be exchanged for His Highness Qiao Xiu... "
"Pause!"
Qiao Xiu interrupted the succubus' tragic monologue. If Ino continued to misunderstand, Qiao Xiu suspected that the group of people outside the door would directly push the door and rush in.
"I didn't mean to sell you! You just need to make a short film or two."
Joshua didn't plan to explain those complicated business matters to Ino, but just told Ino the next task directly.
"Short film?" Ino wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and looked at Joshua suspiciously.
"As Belle, aren't there many people on the caster forum looking forward to the resurrection of the demon prince in "Beauty and the Devil"?"
Joshua opened the caster forum, which has a dedicated movie section.
Even though "Beauty and the Devil" has been released for more than half a year, the popularity is still unabated.
In addition to some movie reviews above, there are more articles and biographies on the theme of "Beauty and the Devil", which is simply a fan.
Most of the content includes the plot of the demon prince returning from the dead.
It can be seen that most fans of "Beauty and the Devil" are looking forward to a happy ending.
Joshua took over the advertising commission of the Kelia firm, but he did not intend to shoot those cheap "brainwashing" advertisements.
Since the fans were so looking forward to the resurrection of the Devil Prince, Joshua simply came for an "official candy" and asked the Devil Prince to take Belle around Nolan for a tour, and then focused on shooting the scene in the store of Klia Firm.
If it's necessary to create a battle or two, highlight some of the "quality" of Kriya's wares.
This not only meets the needs of fans but also achieves the effect of publicity.
"Of course no problem, I'm... honored to be able to work with Zenas-sama again."
Ino's tone revealed yearning for Zenas, which made Joshua suspect that the succubus had also become a cat-sucking patient.
"It's this afternoon, and it's a little awkward to say that to a boy, but Eno... take some time to dress up today."
"I see."
After listening to what Joshua said, Ino blushed and ran away from Joshua's study.
Not long after Ino left, Mrs. Marina also rearranged her appearance and came to Joshua.
"Please forgive my rude behavior just now," said Mrs. Marina.
"My own daughter... No, if my son is sold, everyone will care." Joshua waved his hand to let Madam Marina don't care, and then pushed a sheepskin scroll to Madam Marina.
The wax seal that encloses the entire scroll is engraved with a running horse, the emblem of the Kriya firm.
This scroll was also granted the Magic Emblem Agreement by the Nolan Patent Council and was protected by Nolan's laws.
"This is the initial condition after my negotiation with Klia Firm. Do you think there is anything that needs to be revised?"
Qiao Xiu's understanding of economics is far less than that of the old businessman.
Mrs. Marina picked up the sheepskin scroll and glanced at the contents on it roughly...
"A large part of this condition is to hope that the other party will provide the technology on magic machinery... Do you plan to open an alchemy workshop in the future?" Mrs. Marina asked.
"I don't plan to engage in this industry in Nolan, but it's okay to open one or two alchemy workshops in the demon world." Joshua said.
Demon Realm…
Mrs. Marina took out a pair of round-frame glasses and placed it on the bridge of her nose, then glanced at the directory on the parchment scroll, most of which were related to agriculture.
For example, "magic dolls that can automatically farm", "alchemy agents that can make the land more fertile", etc... Some of them have already been realized and applied in various countries, and the other part is in the experiment stage.
"So, Mrs. Marina, what do you think of Klia's offer?"
Seeing that Mrs. Marina was silent, Joshua asked directly.
"It's too extravagant." Mrs. Marina's already wrinkled face always had an incredible look on her face.
"luxury?"
"Mr. Joshua... They gave you five full production knowledge of magic machinery, as well as such a large amount of money, but the chips in exchange were just my adopted son... Say a good word or two for their products."
Although Mrs. Marina's financial ability should not be underestimated, she is only a businessman.
Although I have seen a lot of big scenes with Qiao Xiu, I still can't understand the extent to which those super rich businessmen spend their money.
In Mrs. Marina's view... the price Joshua gave was nothing more than her adopted son saying a word or two about their products.
But this has exchanged for nearly tens of thousands, and may even exceed hundreds of thousands of income in the future.
"This is a transaction case unique to the information age." Joshua understood Mrs. Marina's tone of "I don't understand you rich people very well".
"What he means is the age of magic nets and television."
At this time, Ciri gave an appropriate explanation to the strange words in Joshua's mouth, and Mrs. Marina nodded understandingly.
"I have tried my best to keep up with Mr. Joshua's footsteps, but Nolan's changes are still too fast."
Madam Marina shook her head and put the parchment scroll back on Joshua's table.
"The above regulations and content are very detailed, Mr. Joshua... Klia Firm has shown full sincerity."
