Chapter 209 The glare hand lamp is born
"Your Excellency Chabick, if you don't do it for me, I will ask to see Lord Erwin, and I will complain to Lord Erwin!"
Duke said loudly at the door of the office of the director of the Boxue Tower Company Department.
Let everyone in the hallway hear you.
"Your Excellency Duke!" Chabick looked helpless, "It's useless for you to make noise here. Regarding Runwanjia's infringement compensation, we are further verifying the statistics with Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory. When the statistics are completed, we will naturally urge them to pay as soon as possible."
"I don't agree with your work attitude. You are covering up Runwanjia. You know that the Giant of Light is in business competition with Runwanjia, but you are doing nothing to benefit Runwanjia. This is a very serious dereliction of duty!"
Duke said, then turned around and walked out of the door a step away: "I'm going to see Lord Erwin, and ask the Chief Director to uphold justice for me."
Chabick, who is also a level 1 arcanist, patted his forehead helplessly: "Your Excellency, I have made it very clear. If you really want to see Lord Erwin, then please go ahead. By the way, I would like to remind you that an appointment is required to see Lord Erwin."
"Then I will go to Master Azigul."
"To see Master Azigul, you need to make an appointment. In addition, Master Azigul has ordered that she does not want to see you."
"Why?" Duke said in disbelief, "I haven't seen her yet!"
"I don't know, anyway, Master Azigul has issued a notice that no one in the Erudite Tower is allowed to bring you into her office floor."
"This is discrimination!"
Duke was shaking and cold.
It was obvious that he was the victim of the infringement case. As a result, Azigul, who was in charge of the legal department, not only did not comfort the victim, but even did not allow the victim to see her.
"Your Excellency Chabick, you must speak up for me. Lord Azigul discriminates against me. I think she has something tricky and improper profit in the case of Runwanjia's infringement of the Giant of Light!" Duke said righteously, "I hope you can report this illegal behavior to Lord Erwin!"
Chabick rolled his eyes several times in a row: "I said Duke, everyone is a ring 1 arcane mage, so why do you make things difficult for me. What's wrong with you, why don't you go to Master Azigul? I'm really enforcing the law impartially, and everything is going according to the procedure!"
Duke chuckled: "I can't see Master Azigul."
"Then I can't help it!"
"You have nothing to do and neither can I. Runwanjia clearly wants to kill my company. Can I not stand up? Mrs. Azigul is the director and shareholder of Runwanjia. I think she has acted dishonorably in this matter, so I have to make a fuss and let her quit!"
Anyway, infighting among arcane mages is prohibited, and personal safety is absolutely protected by the Seven Towers Federation. Duke doesn't mind jumping a little bit.
Besides, there are people behind him.
Suktara and Penrose are both his teachers and mentors, and they are all three-ring arcane masters. They are not afraid of the embarrassment of Kleinda and Aziguli.
"But you're not messing with her, you're messing with me!" Chabick said speechlessly.
Duke walked into the office, closed the door by the way, and said with a smile: "Calm down, I will be the host at night, and I will treat you to a drink at the Shenjiao City Hotel. I will be a frequent visitor of Bo Xue Tower in the future, and there are still many opportunities for us to deal with each other."
"Ah, are you still making trouble?"
"Get down to business!"
"you sure?"
"Of course." Duke squinted his eyes and smiled. He was going to apply for a patent application for a strong light hand lamp in front of Erwin.
Mainly a surprise, and a sensational effect.
Now, while the business war is in full swing, they come here to make trouble in person, all to paralyze Kleinda and Azigul.
Then promoted the strong light hand lamp to the market, and directly crushed Runwanjia's aura lamp into slag.
"Let's go, Mr. Chabick." Duke felt that the fire was almost ready, so he left the office of the head of the company department.
However, he didn't leave the Erudite Tower, but took Mu Lali and strolled around the crowded floors again.
If you have a chance, go to the office of the arcane masters who work in the Bo Xue Tower, chat with them about the lawsuit between the Giant of Light and the Runwan family, and scold them for not paying the money after losing the lawsuit.
"Sir, it's getting dark soon, and the Learning Tower will be off work soon, are we still operating here?" Mu Lali asked quietly.
"What's the matter, do you think your husband is a bit ashamed for me to do this?"
"No, sir, you are doing justice."
"It's good to have this awareness, Xiao Lili, remember that evil does not suppress good, as long as we uphold justice, we will be invincible." Duke said carelessly, "You see, many arcane masters are higher than me, but I went to find them. Besides avoiding them, who is rude to me?"
"It seems to be hey."
"It's because they feel ashamed in their hearts and know that some arcane masters have acted dishonestly in this matter, so they will tolerate me politely."
Turning around, Duke continued: "Of course, this speed must be controlled well, otherwise it will really **** off a few high-level arcanists, and they can't eat it."
Arcane mages are not all good-tempered gentlemen. If Duke really wants to **** them off, he will definitely not kill them, but it is very possible to reward them with a few big competitions.
In terms of fighting to the death, Duke is invincible within the 1st ring, and he can find a chance to kill him at the 2nd ring, but he may be weak when facing the 3rd ring.
But the Seven Towers Federation attaches great importance to the safety of Arcane Masters.
Duke didn't dare to draw his gun at the Arcane Master easily, even in the wild, he would not dare to draw his gun at the Arcane Master. Once a shot is fired, no matter how it is concealed, it will leave a mark on the spiritual level, and then be detected by the high arcanist with extraordinary means.
According to the official records of the Seven Towers Federation, after no registered arcane mage was killed, the murderer could not be found out.
Self-mutilation among arcane mages, the result of the trial is life for life.
As for the arcane master killing ordinary people, even monks from the Three Seas like Ling Zhishi and the Great Knight would hardly commit the crime to death, and at most they would be severely punished.
Master Joao is really heinous, he will be removed from the Faling Pagoda first, and lose the federal asylum.
At that time, if they are killed, they will be killed, or they will leave the federal territory and hide.
For example, Baines, whom Duke met in the cabin in the woods, was expelled from Faling Tower because of his research on forbidden experiments. In order to avoid the federal punishment and the pursuit of the enemy, he had to go to the forest to live in seclusion until he died of old age in the wilderness.
"Sir, you have a good grasp of people's hearts." Mu Lali exclaimed inexplicably.
"Average, the third in the Federation." Duke rubbed the assistant's shoulder-length hair, "Let's go, we also leave work when others are off work."
See Duke and his party leaving.
A staff member of the Erudition Tower hurriedly got on the spiritual ladder, went straight to the office floor of Azigul, knocked on the door and entered the office.
"My lord, Your Excellency Duke has left."
"Huh." Aziguli breathed a sigh of relief on her pretty face, and then greeted with gritted teeth, "This country bumpkin is finally gone, how can there be such a shameless person in the world!"
She, Aziguli, is a majestic 3-ring arcane mage, the director of the legal department of the Boxue Tower, and she manages the commercial disputes in the entire Heijiaohe land.
Don't lose face!
As a result, Duke was blocked in the tower, spreading everywhere that she colluded with Clarinda, used Runwanjia to suppress dissidents, bullied the market, owed money to Lao Lai...
Although this is indeed the case, this is the usual style of arcanists.
All walks of life are basically controlled by arcanists, and there is no room for ordinary people to participate in the competition. All resources are in the hands of arcanists.
Runwanjia, like any company, is a tool for the arcanist to make money.
But for the sake of social harmony, the ugly eating must be covered up.
This was suddenly exposed, and after all, it was shameless.
"My lord, next time Your Excellency Duke comes again, you should send someone to drive him away, otherwise he will continue to ruin here... It is not a way to ruin the reputation of the Runwan family." The secretary offered advice to Azigul, "Would you like to ask the Disciplinary Department not to allow idlers to walk around in the tower next time?"
"What's the point of deceiving your ears and stealing your bell?" Azigul stood up and took two steps in the office irritably.
Then he looked at his secretary: "Tell me, Duke's move, is it because the giant of light can't bear it, or is it deliberately to disgust me?"
"My... my lord, I really can't say, but with Runwanjia's financial resources, this business competition will definitely be won. Moreover, Mrs. Clarinda has also greeted the surrounding cities. The magic lamp will definitely defeat the portable lamp and occupy a dominant position in the market."
"Is this enough?" Azigul shook her head, "I think it's hard to say, there are people behind Duke who support him. That Suktara, doesn't she already regard Duke as his successor? With just a little financial support from her, the Giant of Light can survive."
Paused, Aziguli sighed: "Delaying the infringement payment can only delay Runwanjia's defeat. There is no victory in this commercial competition, alas!"
She felt that Clarinda had developed a demonic disease, and she insisted on playing a game with a slim chance of winning.
In the past years, when the Spirit Artifact Company from another city entered Shenjiao City, Runwanjia could fight at home and get the unanimous support of the local arcane masters, fight against the opponent, and then win.
But this time, it was internal strife.
The other party is not a pure 1st-ring arcane mage, but a highly-anticipated genius arcanist, who has found a backer early on.
"In the final analysis, Runwanjia failed to hold the patent!"
Aziguli saw clearly that even if the Giant of Light was defeated, it would not hurt Duke, and he could still live comfortably on the patent fees.
So Duke can fight to the end, and losing is nothing more than losing the shell of a giant of light.
"But can Runwanjia afford to lose? The company is huge, but there are few real patents, most of which are agency rights. Agency rights are the most unreliable. When the time comes, we will face new competition. When the giant of light has a firm foothold, it will definitely participate in the agency right competition!"
At that time.
The giant of light can gradually erode the market of Runwanjia.
"My lord, the Giant of Light only has a patent for a portable lamp. How could Runwanjia be afraid of competing with the Giant of Light's agency rights?"
"There is only one now, but with Duke, who knows how many there will be in the future." Aziguli shook his head lightly, "It doesn't need more, just a few more patents like portable lights, and the Giant of Light will be able to stand firmly and cannot be knocked down."
Speaking of this, Aziguli suddenly sneered: "This country bumpkin just joined the dining table in Shenjiao City. It seems that he has found the right target and wants to replace Runwanjia!"
The basic market of Shenjiao City is so big.
If you can’t open up new markets, you can only rob other people’s markets. Now it seems that Runwanjia has become the target of Duke’s robbing.
Aziguli knocked on the table: "Ambition is really big!"
"grown ups…"
"I have decided to go crazy with Kleinda, tell the Runwan family, and fully cooperate with the arrangement to stop the giant of light!"
"yes."
…
Before you know it, it’s the New Year’s Eve.
The Storm Calendar turned over in 4413, entering the year 4414, and Duke is about to turn eighteen.
Duke sent all the service staff back to reunite with his family, including Mu Lali and Vivienne, while he stayed in the Suktara Mage Tower.
Just in time for the festival with the teacher.
"Cheers, Duke." Suktara smiled broadly.
In the past, she celebrated the New Year with the Su clan. Now that the mage tower and the castle have been reorganized, the Su clan has been dismantled and most of them have been driven away. Only a small number of them still live in the castle.
The lively atmosphere of the New Year's Day must not be as good as in previous years, but this year she feels happy and satisfied from the bottom of her heart.
Put down the wine glass.
Suktara smiled and said, "Child, today is the New Year's Eve. There will be no class after dinner. You can walk around the castle with me."
"Okay, teacher."
After eating, the old and the young took a walk on the castle wall.
The city wall is so clean that there is no trace of dust, but the outside of the city wall is covered with snow. It only snowed heavily yesterday.
Both of them are arcane masters, and their spiritual energy is concentrated in their bodies, so they don't feel the slightest cold in the cold afternoon. As for the followers and guards in the castle, they were far away and did not dare to disturb them.
"It's another new year, and the teacher is one year older."
"But your spirit is still young."
"You child, your mouth is so sweet, but the teacher is already one hundred and sixty-one years old, and the fog of exploring the spiritual mysteries has faded away, and I don't know how many years are left to live." Suktala has been able to face death calmly, "In any case, I will try my best to teach you in the remaining few years."
"I will not disappoint your expectations, teacher."
"I didn't expect too much. Speaking of which, I have been talking about ring copying materials, so it's not a trace of magic in my heart."
Suktala thought about the past for a while, and said quietly: "Do you know where this trace of my demonic obstacle came from?"
"Please tell the teacher." Duke said.
"I had a short-lived marriage, only ten years, but these ten years have fully affected my life." Suktara looked at the snow-covered forest in the distance, "Vincent, this is my husband, he is an excellent 1-ring arcanist."
At that time, Suktara had just been promoted to Arcane Master.
With the help of their elders, they married Vincent. After marriage, both of them were busy exploring the mysteries of spirituality, but the sweetness was never lost.
"Vincent chose to become an alchemist, and I also chose alchemy. We studied in the same mage tower."
"Actually, the teacher doesn't like to delve into spiritual mysteries, hehe, at that time, I just wanted to have a child soon."
"Vincent always said, don't worry, having a baby will delay your practice too much."
"Seeing that I was angry later, he coaxed me and said, let's choose a direction of alchemy, and treat it as our first child. When it grows up, we will have a second child, a real child." Suktara smiled lightly, "I really believed him."
"Teacher, did you choose the ring copy material?" Duke asked.
"No, it's the auxiliary material for the ring projection. The auxiliary material needed when the ring of projection comes down. It is our first child and the only child." Suktara said, with a maternal brilliance flashing on his face, "Now, this child has grown up and has grown into a ring copy material."
"Ah, that's how it is!"
Duke suddenly realized that Suktara regarded the research subject as his own and her husband's child. At the beginning, I studied the ring projection auxiliary materials. After the research, I continued to study the ring replication materials, step by step, and raised this direction like a child.
At the same time, Duke also suddenly wondered why Suktara showed no mercy to the blood-related members of the Su clan and drove them away immediately.
Because those members of the Su clan are not her relatives at all.
In her eyes, relatives are probably only research subjects that are treated like children.
Seems to understand Duke's thoughts, Suktara did not deny anything, but said calmly: "This is a trace of magic in the teacher's heart. It may be difficult for people to understand, but this is the only thing Vincent left me."
"Teacher, I can understand and understand your persistence."
"You are such a good boy." Suktara touched Duke's face with a smile, "Seeing you, I seem to see Vincent at that time. He may not be as talented as you, but he is as confident as you and feels that nothing is difficult for him."
Ten years of husband and wife life, but it takes more than a hundred years to remember.
Duke couldn't understand such a deep love, but it didn't hinder his respect for Suktara, and he walked slowly along the city wall with the old man.
With this walk, one month has passed.
Wait until February, the second round of financing of Giant of Light also started.
Duke gave up the bottom line of holding 51% of the shares, reduced his own shares to 30%, and successfully raised 400,000 Jinlong.
Of course, in order to firmly control the Giant of Light, he signed equity distribution agreements with many shareholders. Taking most of the decision-making power of the shares into his own, so that he can still control the giant of light-in fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have this power, after all, the patents are in his hands.
Receipt rights just in case.
The Arcane Masters invest in the Giant of Light because they value the future development of Duke himself, so they don't want the right to share resolutions, they only invest and don't speak.
After having the money, Duke provided new suggestions for the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.
"Runwanjia is coming aggressively, especially the cooperation with the local arcane masters, which shows signs of monopolizing the market. I think that Runwanjia can't compete with Runwanjia in terms of high-level management, so we will choose to sink, and sink directly to the spiritual weapon store."
"Sir, what do you mean?" Vuillard took a notebook and took notes carefully.
"Invest in spirit tool stores, directly buy shares in each spirit tool store with money, let them become franchisees of the Giant of Light, and sign an exclusive agreement to only sell lamps of the Giant of Light!" Duke didn't know if this trick would work, anyway, just do it.
He continued: "In addition, the agency rights for ordinary lamps will be signed as soon as possible, and then the production line will be opened to compete with Runwanjia."
"This... Will the stall be too big?" Vuillard was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? The strong light hand lamp technology can not only be applied to portable lights, but any lamp can be applied to the strong light hand lamp technology. When we get the agency right of lamps, we will be able to develop more varieties of strong light lamps on these basis."
For example, street lights on the street, lights at home, signal lights on airships, and lights on cars can all develop strong light series.
"I understand!" After understanding Duke's thoughts, Vuillard was determined and said excitedly, "I'll make arrangements right away, let the employees work overtime, and let the sales team not stop!"
"Don't forget to arrange overtime pay and travel expenses. You can't just let the horse run and not let the horse graze."
"yes!"
The 400,000 Golden Dragon capital raised allowed the Giant of Light to expand crazily again, and the factory area was expanded again and again.
The sales team and the legal team are recruiting people every day.
When recruited, they will be dispatched to various market towns in foreign cities to invest in every spirit weapon store—the free golden dragon, just to sign an exclusive agreement, and most spirit weapon stores are willing.
After the Giant of Light finished February, he had already invested in more than 500 spirit weapon stores in cities and market towns in eight regions.
Turned the sales situation around in one fell swoop, and let the giant of light's lamps beat Runwanjia in terms of sales.
One takes the high-level route and the other takes the grassroots route.
Facts have proved that the grassroots route is more suitable. After all, lamps such as portable lamps are basically purchased by ordinary people.
But in fact, Giant of Light has another product that sells well, and that is the built-in portable light.
Many rich and noble families value the small and exquisite built-in portable lights, and even many arcane masters have bought built-in portable lights.
In order to catch up with the Giant of Light, Runwanjia is not to be outdone, and uses frequent moves to compete for the market.
In the entire Fengxi area, newspapers from all over the world have never stopped advertisements and news about Runwanjia and the Giant of Light.
The brand awareness of the two is almost becoming a household name.
From March to April.
Giant of Light's 400,000 capital is about to bottom out, and this lighting war lasted for half a year. Even the Runwanjia Spirit Tool Manufacturer has a big business, and it was exhausting to meet the battle, and even raised a loan for funds.
Borrowed a lot of cash from various shareholders of Arcane Masters.
"If we continue to fight, we still can't tell the winner." A group of shareholders of Arcane Masters of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory visited the tower of Master Kleinda.
Not only did they not receive dividends from Runwanjia this year, they even borrowed a lot of money from Runwanjia, which made the shareholders of Arcane Master unable to sit still.
Everyone invests in Runwanjia for money and resources.
I don't want to sit back and watch my family benefit, squandering my own capital indiscriminately, resulting in damage to my interests.
"Yes, Your Excellency Clarinda, there is an old man Suktara in Duke who is willing to spend money to accompany him crazy, why don't we take a step back." An arcanist said.
The financing of the giant of light has not been leaked yet because of the signing of a confidentiality contract.
Everyone doesn’t know that behind the giant of light, Duke has united a group of Arcane Master shareholders with the strong light hand lamp technology as a bait.
I just thought that Suktara was old and foolish, and spent more than a hundred years of savings to accompany Duke crazy. Of course, even with the support of a 3-ring arcane mage, it is enough for the giant of light to gain a firm foothold, and most arcan mages are unwilling to head-on.
There are many profitable industries, so there is no need to be stuck in one market.
Klarinda intends to continue the business war, and Azigul is also willing to support him, but in the face of the menacing shareholders of the Arcane Master, he finally compromised.
There is no other reason. The business war has reached this day, and there is no hope of victory.
Moreover, the patent infringement fee owed to Duke can no longer find an excuse to delay it, otherwise it will be too tongue-in-cheek.
Before the compromise, Kleinda argued to herself: "I still insist on continuing to compete. It is impossible for Suktara to sell the mage tower to support Duke's giant of light! Maybe if we try harder, he will not be able to support it. Come and make peace with us instead of us going to make peace with him."
"It's the same for whoever comes to make peace with whoever they ask. Everyone sees each other without looking up. There is no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors." Some shareholders of Arcane Master retorted.
Seeing this, Kleinda sat down on a chair and waved his hands weakly: "Okay, listen to you, find someone to make peace, the lighting market is half divided, and the company's operation will be handed over to a professional team in the future, and I won't ask any more questions."
I wanted to go crazy and fight to the end, but my teammates were not strong enough to vote early.
However, after sending someone to contact the Giant of Light, they soon received a reply from the Giant of Light and Duke: "The lighting market is all handed over to the Giant of Light, and the other spiritual weapon markets are temporarily split in half."
Clarinda suddenly became furious: "Arrogance!"
Then convened all the shareholders of the Arcane Master, and said coldly at the meeting: "Now it's not that I don't want to make peace, it's the Giant of Light, and that young man, who is pushing the boundaries! Therefore, if he wants a business war, we will continue the business war until he is convinced!"
Before he could unify the opinions of shareholders.
Seeing the secretary knocking on the door in a hurry, he entered the conference room, rushed to his side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Your Excellency Duke has applied for a new patent from Lord Irwin, called 'High Light Technology', and jointly launched the first generation of high light series lamps with the Giant of Light."
"Bright light technology, what is that? Can his hand lamp be brighter than ours?" Kleinda said with widened eyes.
The secretary swallowed in horror, and said stammeringly: "I went to see it myself, and saw the samples and samples of the strong light hand lamp. It's bright, it's really too bright!"
