Chapter 450: "Freemasonry" (2nd Watch)
"It's ...... What a surprise! "The dean of the Central Academy of Magic, who has lived a long time, should be accustomed to seeing all kinds of people and things in his long career of teaching and educating people, but at this time, he still can't hide his obvious surprised expression, or he is not ready to hide it at all.
"It's just, hey, I can't believe that our dwarven design is really reliable!" The Lord of the Shining Cave touched his big beard, his eyes as big as brass bells, and although it was beyond his expectations, he still put on a look like we dwarves are amazing.
"Hey, you old keg, three minutes ago you dwarven researchers were out of tune." The half-dragon, half-vampire Elder Druid is very much in line with his race, and he is always trying to find a way to find the dwarf's stubble. However, others were more concerned that the wine jug in his right hand had been tilted, and all the wine was poured out, but he didn't notice it.
"Well, the power is about the same as the cruiser's main gun-level B-type magic crystal cannon, but the cost of 200 gold coins is only less than one-twentieth of the latter!" Although Orucello maintained a calm, light, noble and cold grandmaster bearing, he still nodded approvingly. Of course, as the most homely of these god-level technical nerds present, he has quickly begun to estimate the cost performance and promotion value of his products.
"And it doesn't need to be manipulated by a magician, and the weight is not too heavy, so it can move with the army, and it is very convenient to use." The old butler Cam stood beside him and added, smiling very happily. Oh, I almost forgot. This unsightly old spirit has always been Orucello's research assistant. He is also a master engineer in his own right.
"Hahaha, I've finally proven it. I can't go wrong with my research! "The master master Ougel danced with his hands and began to dance like crazy, at this time, even if he was to die immediately, he probably felt that the Sprinkle family was worth this life. Lu Xi was originally ready to say "Huh! Good! I'm done! The words of such a classic line will be a friendship to correct the punch, but although the other party is crazy, it seems that there is still a distance from hysteria, which makes Lu Xiton, who did not get off the phone, feel pity.
"Wow! It's amazing! I knew that my Lu Lu was the best at anything! Ah...... What do you want to do with the green-haired bad girl? As soon as I heard this, I knew who said it, and it was probably the title "mine" that offended Lim on the side.
Lu Xi raised his hands and shouted "Long live" three times. Announcing to the world and the goddess sisters in the Heavenly Palace that the light of science and technology and Internazon were coming, he said: "Then, elders and big men, you have seen the ability of guiding technology, and you should also have a certain degree of foresight for future world changes. Let's strike while the iron is hot and start talking about a new company, shall we? ”
The "big guys" present who were models of old foxes in terms of strength and IQ looked at each other, their eyes flickered and exchanged for a while, and then they all seemed to be happy, and they all suddenly laughed very darkly. It's like a group of international villains who are discussing how to rule the world.
"I discussed this with your teacher two years ago. But at that time, he refused. The dwarf lord said to Lu Xi, and then looked at Orucello, who was speechless: "Old friend, what made you change your original intention?" ”
"I rejected you because I didn't think the world was ready." Orucello's answer was full of literary style. Although Lu Xi thinks this is nonsense.
The dwarven lord was slightly stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "What about now? In just two years, is the world ready? ”
"Now? The world, of course, is not ready. "Orucello is the right way. But he then stretched out his finger and pointed at Lu Xi, smiling brightly: "But this kid is ready." We are not the babysitters of the world. is not qualified to be a babysitter in the world. Occasionally, you need to bet on the future! ”
It's really a special "grandmaster" speech. But Lu Xi felt that this should still be nonsense.
Then, it is time to enter the bargaining stage of the so-called brothers' clear accounting. Fortunately, everyone has reached some kind of consensus on the general direction, and even if there are differences, it is only on some very subtle details.
First of all, everyone currently needs to register a business, and the registration location is naturally chosen in Neosfia, the capital of the seven seas, which is all about money. As for the production site, of course, it can only be chosen in a place where a large number of skilled workers can be nearby and easy to hide, that is, Jinli? In a hidden mine in Muradin's territory.
"I hope to use your influence to convince the five dwarven lords to train a part of the new army with this new type of guiding weapon. Of course, it has to be secret. "Orucello Road.
"It's funny. There are two Archmages of the Federation sitting here, but haven't they thought of providing this weapon to the Federation? The dwarven lord said with a smile.
"Because a pure magician is an anarchist through and through." Orucello laughed: "Moreover, the uncertainty of human beings is a very fatal shortcoming, although the Federation is a country founded by magicians, no matter how many stupid and arrogant spellcasters claim to have become another powerful race beyond humans, they still have a weakness of human beings. In a sense, they are even more vulnerable than ordinary people, and are more likely to be provoked and seduced. Moreover, the Confederation is more like a corporation than a state, and the uncertainty is greater than that of the two empires of Auckland and Vekia. If necessary, I will indeed give this guiding weapon to them, and even to all human nations, but not at this time. ”
Lu Xi glanced at Master Palong and found that he was actually full of relatives, and even added with a sneer: "Moreover, I am even more worried that with this next-generation weapon that represents the light of the future, the Federation may be even more chaotic than it is now." ”
Orucello looked at the Grand Druid Elder again and said, "Of course, the reason why the dwarves were chosen over the elves is because the dwarves are the race that pursues new things the most, and they are also the inventors of firearms. For how to use this weapon. They already have a more mature set of ideas. Not to mention ......"
"What's more, elves are more brainless than humans and prefer to follow tradition. Even stuck in the quagmire of tradition. Perhaps because he was only half of the elven blood, Tifario smiled calmly: "I'm almost sure." Even if I took this dangerous big toy made by little Luxi, and showed my power in front of the Druid Elders and the Elven Lords, it wouldn't be of much use. They will not be concerned about the power of the new life until they have really suffered it. This is probably the original sin of the elves? ”
Golden Bolt? Muradin's belief that the dwarves were the best craftsmen in the world was agreed upon, and he hoped to use the capital of the land and skilled workers as shares, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he demanded 50 percent, and after some bargaining, he finally reached 30 percent. Lu Xi originally hoped to keep it down a little more. They even took out the seal of the king of the hearth as a temptation on the spot. The dwarven lord was so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground, looking at the king's seal, his eyes were almost spewing fire, and his breathing was a little heavier, like a bull that had been doped, but he was not fooled.
"One yard is one yard, one is a symbol of the dwarven past, and the other represents the future of the world." The Shining Cave Lord said righteously as he reached for the seal. was taken away by Lu Xi.
"If it's 10% lower, I'll give it to you for free." Lu Xi held the seal high and dangled it above the dwarven lord's head, as if he was fishing.
"It's a big deal, I'll give you another private gift that will definitely satisfy you. And all the dwarves owe a big favor! We'll all find a way to cover you. "Golden Bolt? Mu Ladin stared at the King's Seal in Lu Xi's hand, and seemed to be about to fall saliva: "It's really not good, I'll marry my granddaughter to you." ”
"Don't. You dwarves have beards even for women, but not as thick as men. Lu Xi said angrily: "Will I marry a wife with more beard than myself?" When she was taken out, others thought she was her husband. ”
"It's 30 percent anyway. It couldn't be less. The dwarven lord exclaimed, "I can guarantee it, little one. You will be satisfied with the gift I gave you. ”
"Hey, old keg, the gift you said couldn't be that, would it?" Orucello seemed to have thought of something, and turned his head and asked.
"That's it. It was supposed to be for you, but anyway, this little guy is your disciple, isn't it the same thing to give it to anyone? The Dwarven Lord shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly, his eyes continuing to stare at the Hearthcastle King's Seal, as if he feared that it would disappear as soon as it was out of his sight.
Faced with such an old stubbornness that does not allow oil and salt to enter, Lu Xi finally had to compromise.
After that, it will be distributed, and Orucello and Lu Xi will each hold 40% and 11% of the shares, and the master and apprentice will add up to complete the final controlling stake. Master Paron also received 15 percent as one of the main research members, and the remaining 4 percent was retained as a stake in Ogel, the future technical director of the arsenal. Although this old dwarf is funny, he does have a very deep insight and creative power for the development of machinery and thermal weapons. Lu Xi, a liberal arts student who doesn't know anything and only knows how to draw a few concept drawings, is that Mr. Ogel is indeed a great contributor.
Of course, in the future, with the continuous expansion of this munitions enterprise, there may be new capital injections, and if it is based on the joint-stock enterprise system in Lu Xi's hometown, it should be necessary to reserve options and a part of the spare shares. However, these natives who still live in the Middle Ages probably don't understand this, and Lu Xi doesn't bother to explain to them, so he can only slowly improve in the future business operation.
Tifario did not have a stake in the Arsenal because he had not contributed to the development of the Guiding Weapon, but this did not affect his leadership position in the White Dao Boss organization conceived by Lu Xi. In the same way, Ogel, who owns a stake in the Arsenal, is unlikely to have any seat in the leadership of the future organization, he is just a pure technical nerd and a first-generation hot weapon enthusiast, and he is by no means a decision-maker and leader.
Of course, the development of the tactical guide may be a very long job, so Daddy should be busy for a while, and there will definitely be a big share of him in the future. Of course, according to Lu Xi's plan, they should also register a new chamber of commerce in Neosfia, and let Daddy take a stake in Norda Development Group, on the one hand, the fertilizer does not flow to outsiders, Tian Tian will find some new business growth points for Norda's "hometown people", and on the other hand, they also want to borrow the power of elven craftsmen who are good at building small magic equipment. The biggest business of this new chamber of commerce is to research and promote the products of the civilian field in the world's most fashionable city.
Of course, when the company grows to a certain point, it must merge with the previous arsenal, and it must also have an independent research department, training institutions, and a strong security department, and it may also sponsor or even lead the organization of a large-scale, recognized civil vigilante organization recognized by major countries to brush up its prestige and expand in the direction of multinational groups and chaebolization. In this way, the organization's strategic layout for the promotion and control of the guiding force technology and the industrial revolution can be regarded as truly completed.
However, since it is in Neosfia, it seems that it is impossible to avoid the wind...... Anyway, do you really want to catch that girl into the gang? If that girl is really willing to join the gang, don't dare to say anything else, Lu Xi dares to keep her to pay off the debt of 100 million within five years.
"Anyway, the general direction has been determined, right? All that's left is the details. Lu Xi applauded and said happily: "You can open champagne to celebrate, right?" ”
"At least we have to decide what kind of organization this organization is, right?" Tifario's obsessive-compulsive disorder as an elf is starting to play tricks.
"Hongmen? Freemasonry? Brotherhood? Lions? Skull and Bones Club? Rothschild? Lu Xi gave several names in a row.
"Hmm...... It always feels like some very unlucky organization name? It's obviously a serious civil organization.,But it's always a typical villain who has to be an inexplicable villain in a weird legend.。 ”
"So, let's just call it the World Association for the Development and Promotion of Guiding Technology, referred to as the GDP Association! Wow, it really sounds like a big boss. ”
“…… I think it's still called Freemasonry, right? At least better than that GDP. ”
"Well, the old man can accept it."
"Can't agree more." (To be continued......)
