Chapter 890: It's good to be well-informed
The seven-story building was built last year, in July of 1225, the year of the Glorious Era. At that time, when the newspapers revealed its height, scale, and restoration of its complete construction, it really shocked many people, including many of the great merchants who had been running amok for centuries in Neosfia.
Legend has it that during the prosperous era of the Age of the Gods, the Titans once built towering buildings that looked like mountains, but this is ultimately a legend and there is no definite evidence. In addition, the palaces and castles of the princes and nobles, the magic towers built by the magicians and the Great Sanctuary are also of a height rarely seen in ordinary city buildings. However, in the ornate classical court or religious architecture, in fact, it is the same thing to get used to it.
However, the building being built in the center of Neosfia is different. The seven-storey building is not only very tall, but also occupies a very large area when it was built, and it is by no means a single single-family building. In terms of floor space, it is already comparable to the main hall of the Eternal Palace, the Basilica of Santa Elena, the splendid temple of Cloudsdale, and the Colosseum of Neosfia, which are world-famous landmarks that can be passed down to future generations as a benchmark.
What's more, the overall appearance of the building is not exactly a cube, but with some irregular edges and bumps, the overall appearance is indeed a bit avant-garde, and there is a large amount of artificial crystal wrapped around the exterior wall. This translucent and crystal-clear substance could be refined by any elementary alchemist out of clay. It's not as transparent as glass, but it's much stronger and stronger, and it naturally has a hazy and dreamy aesthetic. It is a very high-end building material, but it is not difficult to get hold of. It is advanced because it was refined by alchemists after all; It's not too hard to get your hands on. It is because a magic apprentice who learns alchemy can succeed.
However, the artificial crystal was plastered all over the building. On the whole, it has blinded many people's eyes. The citizens of Neosfia are already looking forward to the day when the building will be completed, and how spectacular it will be. Of course, according to the owner of the building, a new company called "Future Technology Development Co., Ltd.", which has only been registered for less than a year, announced that the building will be completed on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the founding of the city, as a gift to Neosfia.
Looks like, Future Technology Development Co., Ltd., um. In the future, the Chamber of Commerce should be ready to use this building as its own corporate headquarters. The big names in the Neosfia business world had to be wary of this new company, which they had never heard of, because the mere construction of a single building had completely taken the limelight throughout Neosfia, and almost every citizen had heard the name of the chamber of commerce.
The businessmen have been exploring for a long time, and the only thing that can be determined is that this future technology chamber of commerce seems to be funded and operated by the Norda elves.
Speaking of which, in the past ten years, these wood elves have really wanted to fly. Not only did they learn from the merchants of Neosfia in a decent way. It has set up a chamber of commerce and a company-type organization with a clear structure and a healthy business, and has taken a piece of Norda Forest as a scenic spot to make a lot of money in tourism; And through a series of completely unspirited tricks, he quickly mastered the land trade routes and escort business between Gloren Harbour, Cape Storm, and Auckland. It can be said that the freight industry in the Tatsumi Sea is the final word of the Neosfia merchants. Then the freight route from the port of Gloren to the Oakland Empire is up to the Wood Elves.
When did those long-eared gardeners become so shrewd and aggressive? Don't talk about taking control of the land. Do you still want to come to Neosfia to grab turf? I really don't know whether to live or die! The multinational chaebols of the City of the Seven Seas are torn between a complex of doubts, half amusement and half doubts. I can't help but feel that the world is changing too fast, and they must be quiet.
Of course. The construction of this building itself has also drained a lot of money from the Norda Development Group, and before the building is completed, this new future chamber of commerce can still only work in a rented three-story mansion next to it. Indeed, compared to the huge landmark building that was about to be built, it really looked like the gap between a little girl in a slum in coarse cloth and a queen in a crystal gown.
Of course, for this question, the person in charge of this kind of merchant hall, a very stable and cautious Nolda elf woman, seemed very calm: "This place is indeed a little simpler, but there are not many of our colleagues who arrived in advance. According to the Grand Druid Elder......"
"In business, at this time, you have to call Daddy Tifario Mr. Vice President. He is also the vice chairman of the board of directors of our Norda Development Group. Lu Xi corrected: "The Great Elder always shouts, there is no problem in Norda, but in Neosfia, they will feel that they are very dramatic." ”
The corrected elf did not have any objection, and changed his words on the spot: "According to the instructions of Mr. Vice President, our main job before the construction of the 'New Century Building' is to supervise the construction of the building, plus the progress of the manufacture of the first batch of goods. But...... In less than three months, it will have to open. Advance promotion and publicity have not been done at all, and the citizens have no idea what we are doing, or even know nothing about the guide products, is there really no problem in doing so? ”
"It's not selling watermelons, you need to cut them to show people." Lu Xi waved his hand calmly: "Remember, we now have mastered the guiding force, so we have mastered the future, and the future must remain mysterious." ”
He looked at the expression of this young lady who was still a little suspicious in her hometown, who was dressed in professional clothes and had a capable and refreshing temperament, as if she was a white bone spirit in her hometown: "Don't worry, Sister Winnie." I didn't say that I didn't do any publicity, but since we are making a tall product, of course, we also need to use a tall publicity method. Rest assured, three months is enough time for us to do a lot of things. ”
“…… Heh, since you're here anyway. It's my job to work with you completely. The elf smiled, and then opened the notebook in her hand. It was clearly time to start documenting the schedule of work.
"First, uh-huh. You put this ...... It will be handed over to the publishing house for publication and shelves. Lu Xi took out a thick brown paper envelope from the space bag in his arms, which was actually a wrist guard, and it should have been filled with hundreds of pages in it: "The best commercial publishing house in Neosfia should be Sapphire Press Group and Phantom Publishing Group, right?" ”
"Yes, one controls newspapers with huge circulations such as Le Ocean, Neosfia Times, etc., and the other owns such influential magazines as The Reader, Good Days, and Fantasy Weekly. Well, and they each have their own publishing house and Union bookstore to publish novels. "The elf girl who was called Sister Winnie by Lu Xi is really a well-deserved gold medal OL, and she has been stationed in Neosfia for half a year. She's got all the information she needs to gather. And it's all memorized in my head and ready to be accessed.
"Well, what is it? Novel, still ready for publication? Hurricane looked at Lu Xi suspiciously.
"yes, it's a novel, and it's interestingly written. Lu Lu wrote on the side, so ah, I am the first reader of Lu Lu's Virgo. The elf girl raised her head and spoke very happily, it seemed that it was rare to be in front of the wind in some way to make her very happy, at this time. The three-no-four sword doll Jianhao tilted his head and glanced at Nicole, although his face was expressionless, but a pair of big emerald eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, and Nicole suddenly felt weak for a while, and had to change her words again: "Hmm." Well, Miss Lim is still tied for first place...... All in all, it's a very interesting story. Lu Lu should be writing the story of the future world, right? Everybody used the force guidance tool. Use the guide force to cook, heat, and light at home. The streets of the city and the roads in the wilderness were driven by steel wagons from one city to another thousands of miles apart. It only takes a few days. Floating ships that use conductive force as an energy source have also replaced the Tisru nucleus, and they can be seen busy all over the world. ”
"It's ...... A record of imagining the world of the future? Tempest asked, "Some time ago." I did see that you were busy coding words in your spare time, but I didn't expect to really write such a tome out. ”
"It's just pure science fiction, well, it doesn't seem like there's such a genre in this world, right? Then it's not impossible for me to occasionally brush up on the name of the father of world science fiction. Lu Xi smiled: "Anyway, as a protagonist, the story is from my hometown, as long as you change the place name and set the background." Of course, a magician of our level has far more concentration and observation than ordinary people, and can also use shorthand and other means to block cheats. Even if you use a pen, writing 10,000 words an hour is completely drizzle! ”
So, in his spare time, Lu Xi began to use shorthand and began to copy his own writing...... Ah no, my creative career, I finally completed this full-length work that sprinkled more than a million yesterday. Of course, most of it was completed when Lu Xi was still on the island last year, so that we can make up a word count of this scale - we must know that in the era of paper media, more than 1 million words can definitely be regarded as a huge work, and this is not the era of online literature with millions of dollars.
"Well, let's choose the Phantom Publishing Group, compared to the strong people who like to use street tabloids to spread rumors, the latter will naturally be more professional in the publication of youth-oriented literature." Lu Xi said with a smile: "I know that they have a very complete process for the identification and operation of the submitted works, and under normal circumstances, it takes at least half a year to publish and distribute them. However, I am not contributing, but cooperating, and it is just a small part of our industrial layout. Sister Winnie, please choose your competent staff to go to the top of the fantasy world in person, and pay them 5 million bakers as the operating expenses of my Virgo "Sky Track". They only have the distribution rights and a share of the book sales, but they don't have the copyright to it, and I have to see him on the shelves and sell posters in all the bookstores of Neosfia within a month, as well as book recommendations and advertorials from major newspapers. ”
"There should be no problem. The overlord of the publishing industry sounds powerful, but compared to the multinational plutocracy that started out in the real maritime trade like Neosfia, 5 million bakers may have topped the half-year income of their gold medal magazines. With such a big business, they will definitely do it. Rest assured, your Sky Trail will be on the shelves soon. “
"I always think that your title will involve some cross-world copyright disputes. Is it my delusion? Tempest shook his head. She's a bit brainless when it comes to business. But people are not stupid, or not stupid. And he was extremely smart, and he quickly understood what Lu Xi meant: "You don't want to use these fictional stories and environments to let the citizens understand the guiding force, right?" I do. That's how you ......"
"Isn't it a little too whimsical?" Lu Xi directly said the second half of the wind's words: "Tut-tut, the wind, you really underestimate the influence of an IP." Of course, a few months is still a little shorter, and I originally wanted to finish it last summer and then run my boss directly in Neosfia. With a year in the making, its influence should be more obvious, right? It's a pity that after that, it's a war to push the boss to push the demon god, and finally to help Karin grab the throne, so I really don't have time to do business. Obviously, there are only 100,000 words left at the end. It took me more than half a year to finish it...... Sure enough, are all kinds of bullshit miscellaneous things the biggest enemy of professional writers? ”
In other words, compared to the War of the Dead, the Auckland Civil War, killing the demon god to save the world, etc., is writing a novel the right thing? The wind looked at Lu Xi with a smile and a smile. It was precisely because she was sure that the other party was indeed telling the truth, and now she couldn't even spit out a word.
"That's right, people waited for the ending very hard." Nicole completely agreed with Lu Xi's fallacies, and Lim beside her nodded in agreement.
"However, there is still at least two months of preparation to go, and maybe we can take advantage of the readers' short-term madness to stir it up."
"But. Even if this novel sells well, at most it makes the citizens subtly interested in the guiding force, which doesn't encourage them to really consume, right? ”
"So, I just want to brush up on the title of the father of science fiction in this world." Lu Xi smiled and shrugged. Then he took out a bag of gems from his bosom and handed it to Miss Winnie.
"Well, just 2 million in liquidity. We can still get it at the moment. The elf said.
"The gems in this bag are all from the treasures of the Dark Regions and the Plague King, and the main material plane is not produced at all. Extremely high value. In addition to this, there are also many artworks and antiques from the Revival and even the Age of the Gods. Priceless. Miss Winnie, I need you to enlist the largest auction house in the Capital of the Seven Seas to hold a large-scale auction in the name of the Future Technology Chamber of Commerce, and when the time comes, please try to invite as many chaebol leaders as possible to participate. That's the second thing I need you to do. Lu Xi said: "In addition, these things were originally considered to be Miss Wind's trophies, so it should be estimated that she will invest in the Future Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce." ”
The wind was not pretentious, but Lu Xi's gaze became very gentle in an instant.
"If only the first year's dividends could be paid off!" Lu Xi felt that the wind must have thought so in his mind at this time.
"I see." Miss Winnie did not object, but only glanced at Nicole with a subtle gaze, and found that her little highness was still smiling heartlessly, and couldn't help but sigh subtly again.
"Third...... Well, I need you to help me contact the Jewel Coast Theatre and ask them to introduce a couple of troupes. If you don't use Haitian Theater Troupe and Rainbow Theater Troupe, it's a waste to come, you only need to be the kind of backbone small troupe with moderate price and solid basic skills. Lu Xi said: "Since it is a grand event, of course it can't be pink." ”
"Well, no problem. We have already said that the Jewel Coast Grand Theatre will replace the new hall with a large guide light system we designed, which is more than half the price of the Arcane Palace Lamp, and the lighting efficiency is much higher, and they are now very satisfied. This is a small favor, and they should be willing to help. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, this business is actually a great elder...... Well, Mr. Vice-President, he took us to talk about it. It is said that it is because the owner behind the Jewel Coast Grand Theater is his former comrade-in-arms or something. ”
"Well done, Daddy...... Speaking of which, his old man is not here, where has he gone? ”
Miss Winnie hesitated for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "That, in fact, our workshop on the outskirts of the city, as well as the construction site next to you, were harassed by some **** characters some time ago, and the local security department of Neosfia has not taken any action. His Excellency felt that it would be a shame for him, a great druid elder, to deal with the thugs himself, but he could not ignore it, so he went back to Norda first, saying that he wanted to recruit a reliable security team. Well, if all goes well, I think I'll be back in the next few days. ”
"Hi, ****? It's just the thugs and lackeys of the local plutocracy, to put it bluntly, this should be their temptation, right? Lu Xi sneered: "We have been here for half a year, and we are building workshops and buying land to build buildings, if there is no reaction at all to such a big movement, then I have to doubt the IQ of these Neosfia chaebol leaders." If you're not mistaken, you'll be coming to the door soon, right? ”
Before his words were finished, an elf girl who was also wearing an OL costume entered the room: "Your Highness, and the people of Lord Winnie, the Violet Chamber of Commerce, the Standard Transport Chamber of Commerce, the Moult Chamber of Commerce, the Giant Horn Whale Chamber of Commerce, and the Neosfia Credit Bank have all arrived...... said that he wanted to ask to see Lord Lu Xi. ”
"See, Hurricane, if you want to become a big capitalist, being well-informed is the minimum quality." (To be continued.) )
