York dragged his daughter Dorothy to a corner on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce.
He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, trying to use this method to relieve his inner... panic and surprise.
At the same time, York's eyes carefully passed through the gap in the window on the second floor, and looked at a young figure standing in the lobby on the first floor.
Joshua.
York remembered the name of this young man, and at the same time he also knew that this young man was a "buyer" who came all the way from Nolan.
At first, when York saw the young appearance of this "buyer", he didn't believe that Joshua was capable of buying the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce.
And stubbornly believed that his daughter must have been deceived by this young man!
It wasn't until another person appeared that York realized how superficial and stupid his previous thoughts were.
That was Dias, the ambassador from Farosi, who was also the one who brought this new theatrical form of cinema to Ossenburg.
Now that "Avatar" has become completely popular in Orsenburg, York can hear that the theater business is booming even if he doesn't pay much attention to movies.
There is no doubt that "movie" has become an industry that is more profitable than patented magic machinery.
Watching Minister Dias chatting and laughing with the young man, he even showed humility from time to time.
The businessman immediately remembered that he had seen the name Joshua on the cast of Avatar!
Josh Arnold.
A surname he has never heard of, but it hangs at the top of the "Avatar" cast list, and has a bunch of titles, such as "director", "producer", "planning" and so on...
This series of titles is enough for York to determine that the young man is the producer of "Avatar"!
"Father, you have agreed to the conditions of the acquisition. Is there anything else to discuss? I'm very busy now."
Dorothy didn't quite understand why she avoided Joshua when they were talking.
"Dorothy," the elderly businessman asked cautiously. "What's your relationship with Joshua?"
"It's a very ordinary partnership relationship." Dorothy answered her father truthfully, "He liked the Silver Stripe Chamber of Commerce, and I negotiated with him as an agent of the Chamber of Commerce."
"Collaborators? How could it be... "
York is still worthwhile to the Silver Cypress Chamber of Commerce.
When he went to Nolan, the promotion of the movie "Avatar" was overwhelming.
Nolan is a test place for businessmen. If he wants to make a breakthrough there, he even hangs "Avatar" posters on every house. York has been able to imagine that the young man has the capital, which is not his. conceivable.
With such a "monster"-level existence, it is impossible for him to fall in love with such a small chamber of commerce that is close to bankruptcy.
So York could only think of one possibility.
"Dorothy, would he be interested in you?" York asked tentatively. "Perhaps he bought our Chamber of Commerce because of you."
When asked this question, Dorothy's cheeks showed a slight blush, but her expression soon turned gloomy.
"Father! Please stop guessing these meaningless things!"
"No... Dorothy, you've been an adult for almost a year, the daughter of the Golden Viper Chamber of Commerce has just gotten engaged, and now that she has children, I... don't you hope you can find a good home? The whole No young boy up or down Osenberg can resist your charm, he's young too, and..."
"Stop." Dorothy scolded her father's chatter in a cold voice, "I have no plans to get married for the time being, all I do is to save the Silver Vessel Chamber of Commerce. Father, please don't interfere with my marriage choices. , and Joshua already has someone he likes!"
"Have someone you like? It doesn't matter, it's easy to grab it with your charm. Men actually..."
Dorothy covered her ears, stopped listening to her father's crazy words, and left the room quickly.
…
Ciri, who was holding a glass of orange juice and drinking, suddenly raised her head.
"What's wrong?"
Joshua noticed Ciri's anomaly.
"I just felt an inexplicable sense of crisis." Ciri put the orange juice in her hand on the table and said.
"It may be that the person in purple wants to remember that you failed the assessment."
Joshua teased the Deathwing lying on Ciri's shoulders with his hand. This Deathwing was completely like a puppy that didn't grow up, without the majesty of being a dragon.
"Teacher, she should... have no way to monitor this place."
"Then it looks like I should hurry up and get things done here."
Joshua waved away Minister Dias.
After arriving at Osenburg, Joshua took a moment to notify Clendo III in the text message, so the minister went to the Silver Flower Chamber of Commerce to record the "box office" bill and handed it to Joshua.
At present, Qiao Xiu's affairs in Orsenburg have been basically completed, and all the contracts of the Silver Vessel Chamber of Commerce have also been obtained.
In the "Internet cafe" decoration method, Joshua will guide Dorothy, the agent of the shop for a while in the future.
As for now...
"What do you think this is?"
Joshua looked at an item similar to a slate placed on the table. One surface of the slate was completely smooth, like a mirror.
"The relics in Nolan's underground, we have also found one or two of the same in the past, and put them in the Crystal Palace as a display, but its function is still unknown."
The man in grey sat in front of Joshua, and the owl standing on the shoulder of the man in grey poked the thing a few times with its beak.
"Actually, I also have a collection that I left behind when I was fighting a suspicious guy back in Squirrel Street."
Qiao Xiu picked up the slate on the table with his hand. When Qiao Xiu was in Squirrel Street a long time ago, he met a strange gray-robed man, and he also left this thing behind when he fled.
When Joshua injected the gray magic into it, the mirror suddenly made waves and showed a light blue interface.
"You... turned it on!"
This scene surprised the man in gray slightly. He stared at the azure blue light emerging from the slate, looking a little excited.
But when Qiao Xiu handed the slate to the man in gray, the slate lost its power source again and turned into an ordinary "mirror".
"Thousands of spellcasters in Nolan tried to activate this slate, but in the end it didn't work, but you activated it." The man in gray returned the slate to Joshua, "Does this have anything to do with your race? "
The man in gray did not forget that the young man sitting in front of him was a Chaos Demon.
"I'm not too sure, but even if this thing is activated... it doesn't seem to have any effect."
Joshua touched the mirror with his hand, and the slate looked a bit like a mobile phone on Earth.
But the function of this thing is not as comprehensive as that of a mobile phone. After Joshua inputs magic power into it, it can only stay on one screen.
In this picture, there is only a circular ripple that keeps spreading outwards.
"There are still many doubts about these relics. If you have time in the future, come to my Mage Tower."
The man in gray also gave up understanding the function of this thing from these circular ripples, but Joshua's magic power to activate it gave him a new breakthrough point.
"I also have some web-building questions I'd like to ask you."
"I'll visit when I have time."
Not long after Joshua agreed to the request of the man in grey, Dorothy came down from the second floor.
"Have you finished talking with your father?" Joshua asked.
"Um."
Dorothy's expression seemed a little strange when she remembered the conversation just now, but she quickly controlled her emotions.
"I can already start working on remodeling the lobby on the first floor." Dorothy brought the topic to business.
"I can give you some design sketches in this regard, but it's actually not too difficult."
What Qiao Xiu was about to set up was the first "Internet cafe" in the world. Before that, Dorothy didn't have any experience to refer to.
This is also a historical event. In the future, this girl is likely to be called "the mother of Internet cafes" or something.
"And to provide the user's experience, the magic net actually has some external facilities."
Joshua remembered the original spar mouse that he had given to Ciri and Carroll before, and it should be popularized in this Internet cafe.
