Mellon Consortium, Conference Hall.
There are more than a dozen consortium deacons sitting on both sides of the thick long table, representing various middle-class aristocratic families. The ones sitting on the top seats are Melkensen and Srudi. Like thunder, each created their own brilliance, and now they are the overlords of one side, running their own business dynasties. The industrial chain under the family's command covers three regions, thousands of small towns, and their names are louder than famous poets and dramatists. This is just because the Meishan Orphanage in the slum area knew the status of the Mel family seven or eight years ago, so we can know its far-reaching influence.
"My assistant has already passed the news to everyone. This time I called everyone here temporarily, mainly to discuss. Let's buy this new military magical item, the crossbow." Melkensen leaned gently on the chair On the back, a slightly fat figure is not bloated, and the ax-like fortitude and majesty can be vaguely seen in the contours of the cheeks. At this moment, with a faint smile, he said: "According to the news from the Elemental Society, this magical item It has been submitted to the Elemental Society by Master Celt, and it is under evaluation, and the preliminary evaluation results are good, there is a possibility of more than 70%, it is undoubtedly a three-star item!"
"At present, there should not be many consortiums who know this news. The Scott consortium may already know it, and the military should also know it. We must grab this magical item before they make a move. Recently, overseas wars are tight. Those who The savages have repeatedly violated the border, if the batch of magical items we created are used in battle to obtain miraculous effects, the actual benefits obtained will be worth more than four-star military items!"
Melkensen lightly tapped his fingers on the table, and said with a calm smile: "Besides, if this arrow crossbow can replace other three-star arrow crossbows in function, we will eliminate a three-star arrow crossbow. At present, our consortium and military Among the combat preparation materials that Fang cooperated with, the three-star arrow crossbow was not yet available, and the snake crossbow was bought by the Green Consortium. If this crossbow could replace the snake crossbow, it could also take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Green Consortium and squeeze out a little bit from them. blood."
Having said that, he looked around at the crowd, and said with a smile: "Now, what do you think is the bottom line price we should give for the purchase?"
The people on both sides of the thick long table looked at each other and exchanged eyes for a moment. One of the elegant ladies said: "Since the function of this crossbow may overlap with another three-star item, it may also be affected by other items. Overlapping and eliminating, I think it is enough to give the price of Samsung Zhongpin at the lowest limit. After all, it is only a 70% chance. There was a 90% chance in the past, but in the end it was temporarily reversed, so Samsung Zhongpin is me. bottom line."
Hearing her words, many people nodded slightly, what they said made sense.
"Seconded."
"agree."
"Recently, savages abroad have repeatedly committed crimes, and they consume a lot of military weapons. If an excellent military magic is used in a war, it will even change a war. Although it cannot reproduce the myth that all battlefields were dominated by a single crossbow back then. , but the rewards are also great, and I suggest treating it with Samsung’s top-grade specifications.”
"Yes, I agree."
People expressed their opinions one after another.
One of them asked: "I heard that the young man who made this crossbow has some problems with our consortium. If we go to buy it, will he agree?"
Hearing this, many people were surprised, and some people said: "Is there a festival? What kind of festival? Could it be that old guy Fulin who did it?"
The man earlier shook his head, looked at Srudi who was seated at the table, and said, "Clan Chief Bron is quite clear about this matter, and I just heard about it."
Hearing this, many people looked at Srudi in surprise.
Srudi glanced at the person who spoke, then glanced around at the people looking over, and said indifferently: "This person was a member of the hunters under our consortium many years ago. After being severely punished, now that he has abandoned the consortium and found Fulin to back him up, he has misbehavior and attempted revenge on the consortium, my opinion is to refuse all cooperation with him!"
Everyone was shocked, but soon returned to normal. They looked at each other calmly, and someone immediately said: "It is intolerable to despise the nobles. I am just a lowly commoner, and I have forgotten my identity. All the cooperation of people, and at the same time, listed the Xinshi Consortium as one of our commercial targets. Now that this person is studying in the temple, if he grows up in the future, it will be a hidden danger after all. Only by eradicating it as soon as possible can the interests of the consortium be preserved!"
"Well, I agree with Mr. Missy."
"Such rebellious people, even if they cooperate, will inevitably be bitten back in the future."
Four or five people expressed their opinions one after another.
Melkensen glanced at these people, his eyes flickered slightly, and there was no thought on his face.
The others looked at each other, with some regret in their eyes, sighed and shook their heads, said nothing, the matter has come to this point, people have been offended, unless they offer a higher price, it is just a waste of work, and it is bound to be punished by other financial groups or The military department took away the business. If it was to raise a higher price to redeem the previous festival, the loss would not be worth the loss. In short, because of this festival, the sale had to be abandoned.
Srudi was silent for a moment, then got up slowly, and said: "This incident was caused by our Bron family, which caused a loss of profits today. Please forgive me." After finishing speaking, he bowed slightly.
The person who complained before was startled, but he didn't expect a person like him to apologize in public, so flattered, he hurriedly got up and persuaded him to return the gift.
Melkensen squinted his eyes, stood up quickly, patted Srudi on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, I don't blame you for this matter. I really want to blame you. I only blame you for being too soft-hearted. The boy of the nobleman should be executed directly instead of letting him live to this day. In short, from now on, the Xinshi Financial Group will be included in the ranks of our hostile financial groups. Before they grow up, they must be killed in the cradle. The price is the lightest, so what if you give it to another consortium for a mere three-star item, after a while, Master Crowe's work will be born, and our consortium will surely usher in a glorious moment!"
"good!"
"That's right, let's monopolize all the economics of the Xinshi Consortium now, and they will rent a death passage, and see how they turn around!"
"Everyone, I already have a plan that can destroy them immediately!"
"Oh? Let's hear it."
…
…
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, three days passed.
In an ancient castle by the Moza River.
The dark red curtains blocked the harsh light outside, and the breeze fluttered the curtains from time to time, and a few snow-white shadows protruded from the gap. At the moment, there is a person standing in the room, it is Du Dian. He is looking around at the towering mechanical assembly in the center of the room. From the inspections from all angles, there is nothing left. It integrates all the parts of the lightning rod. The only shortcoming is the wire. Shorter, only suitable for three-story castles.
"In future mass production, the cost of plastic materials must also be taken into consideration..." Du Dian murmured, and finally checked it carefully again. After confirming that it was correct, he disassembled it and packed it into several suitcases prepared next to him. After putting everything in, I went to the window and opened the curtain, and the sun fell on my body like snow, which was a little dazzling.
"It seems that three days have passed." Du Dian looked at the sky outside, "It's rare to see the good weather of the sky, the results of the element meeting should have come out, I don't know if it is middle-grade, top-grade, or high-quality?"
Thinking of this, I felt a little bit of anticipation in my heart. I closed the window to prevent wild cats from jumping in. I turned around and picked up the suitcase, and quickly went downstairs. He was the only one in the entire big castle. With the dark light, it was more humid and gloomy, but he had seen it before. The monsters outside the wall have been exposed to the world of science since childhood, so they don't believe in ghosts and gods, so they don't feel afraid.
After leaving the castle, Du Dian came to the stable in the manor, pulled out the carriage, put all the suitcases on it, and drove the carriage to Mount Dega.
