For the past six months, although Victor Lothar has been staying in the South, he is very concerned about Neverwinter City. This city will undoubtedly be the center of the future, not only for Greycastle, but also for other The same is true for the three kingdoms and the fjords. Since the publication of "Greycastle Weekly", he instructed his subordinates to buy it as soon as possible and send it to Clear Water Port.
This time I took the time to return to Neverwinter because of the two major events I saw in the newspapers, one was the sale of the Miracle Building, and the other was the premiere of the new ghost movie "Dust of Oblivion".
He didn't quite understand why His Majesty the King of Greycastle cared so much about belonging. For example, before buying a house, he needed to obtain a resident ID card, and having an ID card meant that he was a Neverwinter. The problem is that this ID card will not restrict his stay, whether it is staying in Clear Water Port or returning to Glorious City, there are no restrictions. That being the case, what was the point of emphasizing the official residents of Neverwinter to a businessman like him on the run
But no matter what, as long as they can participate in the purchase, it will become the tallest building in the entire continent. It is still in the center of the new capital. Anyone who comes here will not miss this stunning view. There is nothing better than this as a signboard to promote rainbow stones.
Of course, even if he missed the Miracle Building, he would not feel too sorry. After all, as the first new cotton merchant to cooperate with His Majesty Roland, he has already taken the lead in the industry. For Victor, the second thing is far more important than the first.
He will never forget how he felt the first time he watched Ghost.
It was definitely a shock that went deep into the soul.
Or in other words, with the opening of the curtain, the body no longer exists, and only the soul is left to roam in the incredible world. He watched "Wolfheart" several times. If he hadn't decided to go to the southern border to grow cotton, he would even want to buy a movie ticket for each performance.
Although the new ghost movie "Dust of Oblivion" can't be guessed at all from the title, the original cast of the Star Flower Troupe and the script written by the drama master Kajin Feith are just two points. It was enough to catch his eye.
What's more, in the introduction, it was also mentioned that the story was adapted from real events and was assisted by His Majesty Roland Wimbledon. All the unknown secrets in the play came from the royal family's collection! You must know that these inside information are often impossible to inform the common people, and the rumors circulating in the market or taverns are too outrageous, and they can be used to pass the time by chatting, and they are not credible at all. Now that he has the opportunity to really see a corner of the secret, or through the shadow of the ghost, no matter which part of the script is revealed, the gimmick is already full of weight, how could he miss such an opportunity
This is the main reason why Victor made a special trip to Neverwinter.
After arriving at the administrative hall, Linglong was busy, from applying for business to queuing for tickets, and quickly helped him take care of everything. The ticket price for the first show of The Magic Shadow has risen to 50 golden dragons, which is ten more than when "Wolfheart" was staged, but he still did not hesitate to point out 100 golden dragons and bought two tickets for the movie.
This scene not only made Linglong's mind rippling, but also attracted the attention of others. After all, even a non-local businessman would have to think twice about such an expensive premiere ticket. You must know that even if it is the second game the next day, the price will be much lower, not to mention that only more than ten silver wolves will be sold for civilian tickets after a week.
Buying a house in Miracle Building is a lot more troublesome. After passing the application, he and Linglong were invited into a separate cabin.
"Do you actually have the ID card of Neverwinter City?" Until then, the maid said in a low voice in surprise, "But you are not from Greycastle, and you are not a resident of Border Town..."
Victor shrugged, "You seem to have forgotten that as long as you buy a house, you can get the official resident status of Neverwinter."
"Of course I know!" Linglong protested in dissatisfaction, "but you usually live in a tavern..."
"The two are not in conflict," he said lightly. "I prefer a lively setting to a residential area, but that doesn't stop me from buying a property for a rainy day."
"..." The maid stared at him with wide eyes, unable to speak for a while.
This is the cuteness of a country girl, Victor thought, if it is a noble lady, I am afraid she will only look like a fool.
Just then, a young woman in an office uniform walked in, "Hello, I've kept you waiting. My name is Betty, Commissioner of the Executive Office, responsible for the sales and registration of the Miracle Building."
"I'm… "
"Victor Lothar, I have read your information, and it completely meets the purchase requirements!" Betty said very quickly, "I have to say, your vision is really unique, you can be in so many residential areas. I chose the Miracle Building. This is a landmark building hand-picked by His Majesty. You can overlook the whole city from the top of the building. Although the price is a bit high, it is definitely worth having!”
Uh... Victor couldn't help but stunned, how to look at the other party's posture, a little afraid of not being able to sell. He cleared his throat, "May I ask what the price is..."
"It's all here, Mr. Victor." Betty handed over a blueprint.
Victor spread it out and couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth. He saw that the price of each floor of the building was marked on it. The first five floors were still up and down with a hundred gold dragons. From the fifth floor, it almost doubled for every additional floor. , and the fourteenth floor has reached an astonishing price of two thousand golden dragons.
Linglong couldn't help covering her mouth.
"The fifteenth floor... not participating in the sale?" Victor noticed that there was no price for the top floor on the drawing.
"The fifteenth floor has been bought by the Astrology Association and the Alchemy Association. I heard that they plan to set up the Sage Society and use the building as the headquarters."
"Fourteenth floor, I bought it!" Victor interrupted, looking at the stunned two, and quickly added, "...Two rooms."
Four thousand golden dragons was a lot of money even for him who had been in business for many years. Originally, he was a little hesitant when he saw the price, but after hearing the news of the Sage Academy, he immediately made up his mind.
If Neverwinter is regarded as the center of the future, then this so-called headquarters will inevitably affect other kingdoms. Being able to get in touch with these two organizations with a long history and reputation throughout the continent, even if they just stay in the same building, can greatly promote the promotion of Rainbow Stones.
"Wise choice, Mr. Victor!" As soon as Betty grabbed his hand, she looked even more excited than Linglong. "I'll go get the contract of intent. As long as you sign your name, the room will be yours."
After the other party left excitedly, Victor let out a sigh of relief, "Why do I feel that she is the one who bought the house, not me..."
"Probably it's about performance appraisal." Linglong pouted.
"what is that?"
"I also heard from the customers in the tavern... It seems that everyone in the executive hall, from officials to apprentices, has assessments such as their duty completion scores. The specifics are not clear, but their salaries and promotions are related to this."
"That's it... No wonder every time I come here I feel that the people here are very motivated," Victor suddenly felt that he had learned something new.
Maybe it would be good to use in his textile mill as well
"That..." Linglong hesitated, "you spent so much money to buy the house in the Miracle Building, so it shouldn't be empty in the future, right? On the other side of the tavern..."
"I will continue to rent." Victor laughed. "Of course the house bought by four thousand golden dragons will not be empty."
"But you can't live in two places at the same time."
"Not empty doesn't mean I have to live there myself." Originally, Victor only planned to buy a house and hang a prominent banner outside as a signboard to promote the rainbow stone, but Betty's remarks That gave him a new idea. The house is not only for living. "It will become the new headquarters of the Lothar Chamber of Commerce and the trading center of rainbow stones in the future."
