Prayer day.
The common people gathered in the squares where the sacrificial platforms were built. When the ceremony began, the priests of the Holy See of Guangming, accompanied by three priests of the Guangming, climbed onto the platform and recited words of blessing, eloquently sprinkled tens of thousands of words of hymns, excerpts Since the "Bible Blessings" written by the Holy See of Guangming, the common people have already heard it by heart. After all, every household has a "Bible", and they will hear the recitation of the "Bible" every year.
Sincerity leads to spirit, this ancient Chinese saying is also applicable in this era, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The people listened carefully, clasped their palms together and clasped their fingers together, praying devoutly.
In the castle.
Du Dian stood in front of the window sill, looking at the civilians who gathered from the streets far away from the castle to a nearby Goa Square to pray for blessings. These people all came from nearby towns. He knew that his reputation today has not In the ears of these ordinary civilians, today should be regarded as the worst day for newspaper sales in the past three months, but his reputation should have spread among the top executives of the major consortiums.
It only needs to be fermented for one day, and these commoners and some nobles will also know his name.
In many cases, money cannot buy fame, but fame can be converted into wealth, power, convenience and so on at any time.
"Master, someone is looking for you." At this moment, Nicotine came from behind and said respectfully.
Du Dian nodded. He had already seen through the window that a noble carriage drove into the castle. The flag on it belonged to the Scott Consortium. It has to be said that from this point alone, the intelligence system of the Scott Consortium Far deeper and denser than several other consortiums.
Turning around and going downstairs, returning to the hall, Du Dian waved his hand and asked Nicotine to go out to greet him. Even a large consortium like Scott could not bother him to go out to greet him in person. This is not arrogance, but the majesty and etiquette that should be there.
A moment later, Nicotine brought a young woman dressed in brightly colored jewels to the hall, with a slender body and extremely charming protruding back. Her demeanor was elegant and calm, with the etiquette and atmosphere of aristocrats.
When Du Dian saw her, his eyes moved slightly.
"Mr. Du, I'm Willy, let's meet again." The young woman saw a strange look on the boy sitting in the hall, and she stepped forward and said.
Du Dian smiled slightly, got up slowly, and when she came close, she stretched out her hand and shook it lightly, then let go, saying: "I am a guest from afar, please sit down."
"It's too polite for you to treat me as a guest." Willie smiled, and sat down on a seat next to her, and looked up playfully at the castle under Du Dian's gaze, enviously said: "Your castle decoration It’s really good, simple and elegant, and I like this style the most.”
Du Dian smiled lightly and said, "Since you like it so much, move here to live. I have plenty of rooms here."
Wei Li was just being polite. She didn't expect Du Dian to be so hospitable. She reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Okay, if my husband allows me, I will definitely come here, just because I am afraid that my eldest lady will Temper, it's going to give you a headache, if it interferes with your thinking about magic, I will die and die."
Du Dian smiled slightly and said: "Miss Wei came here today, shouldn't she just look at my castle?"
Wei Li chuckled and said: "I have both, but today I mainly congratulate you for being promoted to a high-level envoy. As far as I know, this is the youngest high-level envoy in the Temple of Elements in a hundred years! If it weren't for one hundred and fifty Many years ago, Tracy became a high-level envoy at the age of nine. You will be the youngest high-level envoy in the history of the Temple of Elements. By then, you will have broken two records. Even if you do nothing for the rest of your life, Your name will also be engraved on the history of the temple forever."
Du Dian nodded lightly. He had heard of Tracy's name before, and he was no stranger to the people in the temple. Although it had been one hundred and fifty years, when it came to the most talented person, it must be this woman. , this can be said to be a real child prodigy. At the age of nine, he produced two four-star items and became a high-level envoy, shocking everyone. Unfortunately, when he was ten years old, he suffered from a rare disease. The medical condition is difficult to cure. When the disease was discovered, there were only three months of life left. In the end, he was not rescued and passed away.
Whenever this point is mentioned, people are all sighing, and some even think that if this girl has not died of illness, she will become a master before she is twenty!
"Mr. Du Dian, can you sell your new magic "Lightning Rod" to our Scott Consortium this time? "Willy looked at Du Dian's expression, gritted his teeth and said decisively.
Du Dian glanced at her, pretending to hesitate.
Seeing this, Willie's eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "Our Scott Consortium is willing to give a five-star magical price, and give half of the future sales of new textile machines, what do you think? If there is anything else Request, you tell me, I promise, I will do my best to complete it for you, we are also old friends, right?"
Du Dian said: "I heard that your consortium and the Mellon consortium are competing for the mineral industry recently. Presumably your consortium has penetrated deeply into the Mellon consortium?"
There was a hint of enlightenment in Willie's eyes, and she said: "I almost forgot that the Mellon Consortium tried to frame you several times, and now that you are famous, they must be worried that you will retaliate against them, and they will definitely think of other insidious ways to harm you Don't worry, with the support of our Scott Consortium, they will never hurt you, but you have to guard against insidious ideas. I will ask the informants in the consortium to help you pay attention to the actions of the Mellon Consortium. , I will let you know as soon as there is news."
Du Dian nodded slightly, and said: "Okay, when there is news, let's talk about magic."
Wei Li was startled, and couldn't help saying: "Mr. Du, what do you mean?"
"Miss Wei is so smart, shouldn't she not understand?" Du Dian said.
Willie couldn't help but said, "Mr. Du, can't you trust me? If the Mellon Consortium isn't plotting against you, wouldn't we have to wait forever?"
"I can trust you, but since we are talking about business, we will naturally follow the rules of the business, paying the money and delivering the goods." Du Dian smiled slightly, and said: "As soon as my news came out today, the Mellon Consortium will take action, presumably If you can find out, this should be the first deposit. I will sell the "Lightning Rod" to you when the effective information you provide reaches three times, or when the rainy season comes next year. Don't worry, I will do it for you. The consortium is reserved and will not discuss with other consortiums for the time being. "Du Dian smiled.
Wei Li was startled, her face became a little stiff, and she smiled reluctantly: "Mr. Du, "Lightning Rod" has just been released, and it will definitely spread to three districts tomorrow. Sell it to us now, and we can make it when the disaster and rainy season comes." When it comes out, we will also promote the function and production process of "Lightning Rod" in the past few months, and keep it hot. If it really waits until the disaster rainy season comes, it will be refrigerated in the middle, and then I'm afraid... "
Du Dian said: "It depends on the intelligence capabilities of your consortium, I trust you."
Willie smiled wryly, seeing that Du Dian had no intention of turning around, sighed, and said, "Well, I hope Mr. Du can keep his promise and decline the purchase from other consortiums."
"I will." Du Dian smiled.
Seeing his smile, Willie felt uneasy no matter how she looked at it, but she knew that she couldn't ask Du Dian to give her any guarantee. The choice was in the hands of the latter. After several times, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "I believe in Mr. Du's character. If that's the case, I wish us a happy cooperation." After speaking, she stretched out her slender palm.
Du Dian stretched out his hand and shook briefly, "Have a nice cooperation."
The two let go, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of Wei Li's mouth, and said: "If I had known today, I should have directly agreed to the four-star price you offered, Mr. Du, because of this matter, I am now being scolded by my family." I'm dead, I blame you." As he spoke, he glanced at Du Dian coquettishly.
Du Dian was very calm, with a smile on his face, and said: "If you agreed at that time, you would probably be scolded to death by your family at that time."
Wei Li couldn't help laughing, but sighed again, and said: "In the final analysis, I'm still to blame for my clumsiness and ignorance of real talents. Mr. Du, don't be surprised. I didn't underestimate you at the time, but I didn't expect your ability to be so amazing. .”
Du Dian waved his hand: "Small things, don't care."
Willie rolled her eyes, and said with a grin: "Mr. Du, just don't blame me. By the way, can you pre-order your next magic spell for our Scott Consortium? No matter what you do, our Scott Consortium I am willing to pay the price of a four-star top-grade divine art!"
Du Dian smiled, thinking secretly in his heart that he wanted to negotiate two deals at once, and the Scott consortium dared to offer such a price without even seeing the shadow of magic. However, he intentionally and casually produced general magical arts. After all, he has reached the point where he cares more about others' respect for him than money and wealth, that is, face.
"Four stars are too low." Du Dian shook his head and refused.
Wei Li's eyes brightened slightly. Last time Du Dian refused even thinking about it, and she looked very disgusted. This can only show that Du Dian already has a new concept of magic in her heart, and she is extremely confident. Taking a breath, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, we will give you the price of five-star magic, which is the same as this time. What do you think?"
"You guys are really willing." Du Dian couldn't help but sigh, the five-star magic is a transaction volume of millions of gold coins, which can support the food expenses of the entire slum area for more than 30 years. If it is used for construction, it can build the slum area into a comparable The same level as the civilian area! However, the Scott Consortium is willing to pay such a large fee now that the ghost has not been seen!
This is the wealth brought by magic!
Such is the power of "genius" fame!
However, this amount of money can only be regarded as upper-middle level in the commercial area, and the inclination of the wealth ratio within the wall is seriously unbalanced. As a result, any wealthy businessman in the commercial area can become the emperor of the land when he goes to the slums, but in the slums he can only sit and eat. It is impossible to make money with money, which is why the labor force in the slums is so cheap, but not many rich businessmen are willing to live and develop. The vigorous fish will slowly suffocate in stagnant water.
"Not enough." Du Dian shook his head slowly, "Too low."
Willie froze.
not enough
Or is it too low
She couldn't help but look at Du Dian more, even with her self-cultivation and restraint, she couldn't help but reveal her inner thoughts on her face at this moment - five stars are at the top, how taller are you
Du Dian naturally understood her expression, shrugged and said: "If you want to pre-order, pay me the money now, I can consider it, and sell it to you at a five-star top-grade price, this is the only chance!"
Willie barely choked out a mouthful of blood, five-star top grade? Why don't you speak higher? Just this one chance? She can't wait to beat the boy's head. Could it be that she has produced three high-quality magic arts in a row, and she has swelled so much that she doesn't know who she is. If someone else said this, she probably has the heart to draw the sword !
"You..." Wei Li swallowed, and swallowed the next few unsightly words, held back her violent temper, took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and forced a smile: "You... It's too high, I'm scared, don't take it wrong, this, this price is really a bit... "
Du Dian said: "Is this the representative's rejection?"
I'm going crazy if I don't say no! Wei Li couldn't help but choked in her heart, and said with a forced smile on the surface: "It's not a rejection, it's just that the money is too much, and our consortium can't afford it."
"Since your consortium is so poor, it seems that you can't buy it." Du Dian shrugged and said: "The opportunity has been given, don't say that I won't sell your favor, this is already the price of favor."
The corners of Wei Li's mouth and eyelids twitched together, and she couldn't control the murderous aura on her body. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Du Dian's expression, for fear that her fist would lose control, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Du, Mr. Du, I'll take my leave first Alright, next time there is news about the Mellon Foundation, I will be the first to notify you."
"Go slowly, see off the guests."
Nicotine, who was waiting by the side, immediately stepped forward and escorted Willy out of the hall.
Not long after Willie left, people from the Huasheng Consortium came to the castle, visited Du Dian, and brought a lot of gifts.
Du Dian asked Nicotine to accept these expensive medicinal materials and luxury watches, and politely declined the Huasheng Consortium. He did not directly refuse on the grounds of not selling them temporarily, leaving a way out.
The Huasheng Consortium was extremely disappointed when they saw that they couldn't reach an agreement, and immediately made the same calculation as Willy, wanting to pre-order Du Dian's next magical work. Du Dian is not partial, and also gives a five-star top-grade friendship price.
When the person in charge of the Huasheng Consortium heard the price, he asked twice before confirming that there was nothing wrong with his ears. He was stunned for a while, and declined with a forced smile. He bid farewell to Du Dian and left the castle.
After the Huasheng consortium, the Krylov consortium and the Green consortium also came to visit one after another. Five of the six consortiums came, although the Krylov consortium had discredited Du Dian in its own newspaper when Du Dian released Kutch on bail. , but the relationship is not deep, this time it is secondary to buy magic spells, apology is the main thing, they also know that it is impossible to let Du Di'an feel relieved for a while, so they didn't put much effort in buying magic spells.
