The dance was over, and Joshua sat on the carriage to the portal to the Demon Realm.
"Mr. Joshua, do you really only need these enough?"
Mrs. Caesar was sitting right across from Joshua, and her eyes fell on Joshua holding two scrolls and a medal. The scroll was branded with a wax seal with a magical imprint. The wax seal was engraved on it. The emblem is that of Farosi.
"enough."
Joshua took apart one of the contracts, which was so long that when Joshua took off the wax seal, the other side of the contract fell under the carriage.
The content of this share is the chips that Joshua's films need to be paid to show in the various theaters of Farosi.
Although Joshua proposed the concept of "box office" to Crondo III, Crondo III reluctantly said that it was impossible to accurately count the sales of every Falosi Theater ticket.
In this era when bills are still recorded with pen and paper, it is still too idealistic for Joshua to rely on the "box office" share. Those theater owners can completely avoid the share by making false accounts.
So Qiao Xiu adopted a one-time buyout system, that is, to turn the "original spar" recorded with the movie screen into a commodity with a clearly marked price.
This method is no different from Blu-ray CDs on Earth, but Blu-ray CDs in this world are not that cheap.
There are more than 200 theaters in the entire country of Falosi. If Crondo III wants to show "Avatar" in each theater, he needs to buy more than 200 copies.
This transaction Joshua did not choose to settle in Faloxi's currency, but chose to use resources.
Resources include iron and ingredients and various original spar...
"This should be the most generous of His Majesty Krondo." Mrs. Caesar browsed the contract that Joshua showed her, and looked at the dense list of goods above. Mrs. Caesar had to sigh again the value brought by the movie. .
In the eyes of outsiders, what Qiao Xiu used to exchange these "strategic resources" enough to build a small city was only a few hundred ordinary quality spar.
But the things inscribed in the original spar have turned the value of these original spar by tens of millions of times.
"Actually, I think your king is a little stingy." Joshua didn't take Mrs. Caesar's comment.
"Stingy... His Majesty Krondo is also willing to give you and your country more help. The one who chose to refuse is you."
Mrs. Caesar couldn't help sighing when she thought of this. At that time, King Krondo III proposed a lot of bargaining chips that were far more exciting than these resources, which no ruler of any country could refuse, but Joshua But refused.
"Are you referring to sending Farosi's alchemists to the Demon World to build alchemy workshops, and to help the Demon World mine minerals or something? This is indeed an exciting bargaining chip."
Joshua recalled the "better future" that Clendo III talked about at the ball. If Farosi really helped the demon world build an alchemy workshop, then the demon world would definitely be able to get out of the predicament of the Middle Ages in a short period of time and officially enter the The Industrial Revolution.
"It's a pity that I already got these chips in Nolan."
Qiao Xiu was not in a hurry. Qiao Xiu's eldest sister, Cecily, had already sent a messenger to Nolan to study. Qiao Xiu believed that with the prophet's learning ability, it would not take long for him to master the so-called "core technology".
And these resources are just a small foundation that Qiao Xiu has laid for the demon world.
"Looks like I'm still too anxious."
Mrs. Caesar sighed softly after listening to Joshua's answer.
"Maybe we should put the topic of interest aside, Mrs. Caesar." Joshua put away the contract, and then waved his hand to open the interface of the magic net, "I don't know if your majesty is satisfied with the 'parliament' function of the text message. ?"
"I think... His Majesty Krondo should be quite... satisfied."
When Qiao Xiu asked about this, Mrs. Caesar had a rare helpless smile on her face.
She directly showed the interface of her magic web to Joshua. In Mrs. Caesar's newly established SMS account, in addition to her daughter's friends, the most conspicuous one was a parliament called "Farosi Congress" .
This council was established an hour ago, and it was a small toy that Joshua gave King Pharossi with this deal.
But Crondo III was more enthusiastic about this little toy than Joshua had imagined.
"Minister Denier! I order you to add all the nobles who are eligible to participate in the Farosi Council to this Magisterium Council!"
An account by the name of Clendo III popped up from the "Farosi Congress" group chat and gave orders to one of the few people in the group chat.
"Understood, Your Majesty." Another account signed by Count Denier responded quickly.
"Very good! Where is Dias! Where is Dias now, let me see him off before he goes to the country of steel!" The speed of Krondo III's message was unimaginable.
In the blink of an eye, Qiao Xiuguang, several messages from His Majesty the King popped up in this group.
"I... at... my... mansion."
On the other hand, Minister Dias, who was inquired by Krondo III, responded much slower, and even the reply could not be typed out completely, which seemed a little intermittent.
"I hope that His Majesty Krondo will not use this way of talking to replace the real Congress." Mrs. Caesar looked at the messages that kept popping up in the text messages worriedly. Judging from the reply speed of King Krondo III, it was enough to feel it. The king's message-dropping frenzy.
"Why do I think it's quite possible."
Although Joshua didn't have much contact with Clendo III, but with the character of that king, he was very likely to decide to use text messages to replace the real Congress at a moment's notice.
Mrs. Caesar did not deny Joshua's statement that since meeting Joshua, many important things in her life have been replaced by the things Joshua created.
Although she has chosen to accept it calmly, she still feels a little embarrassed when she thinks of it now.
At this moment, the carriage slowly stopped, and Qiao Xiu directly pushed open the door of the carriage.
"Please tell your majesty the king, I will prepare the exchange of resources in a week."
After leaving this sentence, Qiao Xiu walked out of the carriage.
For this resource trade, the portal of Zenas was specially built in a building that was relatively close to the Market of the Imperial Capital of Farosi.
Some curious businessmen have communicated with the person in charge of managing the place outside the portal, hoping to go to the Demon World to do business.
Although there were only five or six merchants in sight, it was definitely a good sign.
The guard quickly recognized Qiao Xiu's identity and let Qiao Xiu directly enter the portal.
The location that the portal leads to is the filming set of "Avatar", and the humble tavern built by Mrs. Caesar is still in business after the filming.
This will be the first stop for the Falosi people to contact the demon world.
