Vol 3 Chapter 26: Cocktail Party (Medium)

Xiu Yi's promise made all family representatives and businessmen a lot easier.
Despite the lack of understanding of the Dardanelle family, what does this matter? There are thousands of empire families, and no one knows when a powerful family will suddenly emerge. It doesn't matter who the other person is, what background they have, what they do. The important thing is that the other party has clearly stated that they have enough digestive power to devour the spilled goods. Of course, this does not mean that they will not inquire into the details of the other party, but it means that as long as the other party shows sufficient strength, then everything is easy to say.
The following negotiations were therefore friendly and harmonious.
"Oh, so what about the Dardanelles' maritime trade? What made you decide to join the alchemy industry?" It was Viscount Radour who asked the question.
Xiu Yi answered politely: "To be precise, my family is not a trader. In fact, we have been doing a special business since my grandfather ... Well, what should I say? "Xiu Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:" Presumably you all know that there are many risks at sea. In addition to those disasters such as pirates, the greatest disaster is natural disaster. This includes unpredictable weather, terrible storms. And huge and terrible warcraft in the sea. Every year, a large number of merchant ships crash in the sea for various reasons. "
"Yes, because of this, the price of goods from other continents always doubles," said Mr. Dodge. They brought in a rather rare batch of materials from the East Mainland this time, and they were planning to sell them to the Empire for a good price, but in the end they saw the Empire reduce their purchases, and there was a great risk of smashing into their hands.
Xiu Yi laughed: "Yes, everyone knows that maritime trade is a huge profit, and pirates are a business without a business, but in fact people don't know that there is another business, which is also a huge business, but also a business without a business."
"Oh? Sounds interesting, is it related to the shipwreck?"
"Yes," Xiu answered with certainty. He looked around for a while, noting that everyone, even some boring ladies, began to notice that his topic of getting rich was always easy to attract attention.
Xiu Yi then said slowly: "Saving the sunken ship."
"Rescue the sunken ship?" Exclaimed all the nobles.
Someone shouted, "This is incredible. How can you salvage the sunken ship from the sea?"
"To be precise, it is not the salvaging of the sunken ship, it is the salvaging of the treasures on the sunken ship. You must know that they have sunk into the ocean floor and will never see the sun again. And our job is to sink those who sunk for various reasons. Treasures that went to the bottom of the sea were salvaged again. You know, every ship is loaded with a huge amount of wealth, and as long as you can get one, you can make a fortune. "It was Hoddin who said this.
"Oh, my God!" The nobles started to nod.
Some people say, "I have never heard of such a business. Isn't there Warcraft in the sea? And the ocean is so deep, how can I go down?"
Xiu Yi smiled: "That's the secret of getting rich. The pressure in the sea and the supply of air can be solved by the magic wizard of the water system. All we need are some people who are good at swimming. The biggest problem is not actually the problem of sea pressure. , But the World of Warcraft and how to determine the location of the shipwreck. Only professional people know how to search for treasures in the water without alarming those terrible big guys. Of course, only professional people can quickly determine the location of the shipwreck and its possible existence. Other dangers ... in fact, it involves a lot of complex knowledge, and my family has been engaged in this industry at sea for more than 100 years. We have salvaged more than 40 shipwrecks until last year. "
"Last year?" Several family representatives looked at each other. "What happened last year?"
"Last year we ended this risky behavior, because my father and one of my uncles died during the salvage operation at sea ..." Xiu answered with a sad face. "Yes, I guess everyone has guessed what happened." Xiu sighed. "Last summer, my family found a shipwreck full of gold and spices and a lot of rare ore. They tried to get the ship's The treasure came up, but unfortunately, they encountered a submarine rapids. The rapids overturned our boat and lifted us to the bottom of the sea. On the bottom of the sea we encountered a giant claw chapter. The guy has the same size as the entire Silent Island Hotel. Large. Although its name is a giant claw chapter, in fact it has dozens of thick tentacles like pipes, and each tentacle has a mouth the size of a human head ... it almost killed everyone, of which Two tentacles entangled my father and my third uncle. By the time the guy spit them out, there were only bones left. "
"Oh! God, this is terrible." Several noble ladies covered their mouths and exclaimed.
"It's a tragedy."
Xiu Yi continued his sensational performance, and has to say that four years of Purgatory Island's acting career has greatly exercised his acting skills. At least in the performance, Hoting believes that this teenager has no less talent and talent than himself. "My second uncle was the only one who escaped from that disaster, and my mother died because of sadness. After that we realized that no matter how experienced a sailor, as long as he walks on the edge of danger all year round, Someday, we will face such a thing. In fact, this kind of thing happened more than once in the century-long history of family salvaging the sunken ship. But until last year, my second uncle decided to give up the original family business and lead us to restart Start a new business. Since then, we have come to land. For the same reason, my second uncle has never been so depressed, he no longer sees a smile on his face, and he is even unwilling to communicate more with people. Even in Today, on such an important occasion, he just returned to show up. However, due to the burden of the family, I could only step into the communication circle early and try to do business and manage the family. Fortunately, my uncle stayed for me. Under a very good housekeeper, Clementine is a very capable person, and everything has lost him. "Abb> 13800100ob>
"It is my lifelong honor to serve the Dardanelles," Huo Ding said modestly.
Xiu Yi's humble words and rich knowledge quickly won everyone's favor. In fact, with his current age, it is indeed a valuable thing to have such a conversation.
"So what made you decide to do the materials business?" Asked a nobleman.
"Oh, this is due to our luck. Since my parents died, we used to think that all the good luck of the Dardanelles had been used up, but the truth is that we soon encountered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity . We accidentally rescued a distressed alchemist, a man of extraordinary talent. He is very grateful for our help, so he taught me all the alchemy he knew. "
"Oh, is that the alchemist of the Dardanelle family is you?"
Xiu thought about it, then nodded, "Yes, it's me."
"It's really amazing."
The aristocrats sulky. Xiuyi knew what they were thinking about, and it was no secret that Xiuhailer was an alchemist since Lanya Grand Theatre.
Now any teenager who is about sixteen years old, dare not claim to be an alchemist, because for the Legal Affairs Department, that is the clearest goal. But for Xiuyi, this is exactly the most important future he needs to break through. He must rely on his alchemy to prove himself to the world, and get enough people's support. So he cannot hide his professional identity.
If identity is to be revealed sooner or later, it is much better to be exposed now than to be exposed again when you are in a siege.
Putting all the dangers at the beginning and taking this as a huge challenge, even if you fail in the beginning, you can at least avoid the regrets of failure.
And at this moment, when Xiuyi said his identity as an alchemist, he really made everyone's heart beat.
Everyone remembered the name Hugh Glair.
Think of his crazy killing performance at Lanya Coliseum.
According to Xiuyi's previous introduction, there is no doubt that the Dardanelles have a family with huge financial resources, and they have enough money to buy the goods here. But when the target person involves a terrible murderer, everyone becomes wary.
But Xiuyi was not worried about this issue.
It's not too difficult to convince people that Catherd Daniel isn't Hugh Glair, but the important thing is that it must be done smoothly and naturally. If you explain it hastily, it will increase your suspicion. Most importantly, he knew that those who wanted to do business with him would do everything to prove and believe that he was not Hugh Igle. As Hording said, many people are more willing to believe what they desire to believe in the face of great interests.
So they will definitely seek the answer by themselves.
Sure enough, someone asked Xiu Yi.
"Since you say that you are an alchemist, what kind of alchemy do you have more confidence in?"
Xiu replied: "Actually I don't have much to do. My mentor left without teaching me too much. I don't even know his name. For now, I'm better at making Some smart gadgets, they do n’t have much power, but they also have some irreplaceable value. "
"Like what?" Someone asked.
Xiu Yi took out a scout bee: "Like this."
"What's that?" Many people watched curiously.
"A small thing for reconnaissance, it can fly freely, and the collected vision can be reflected through this crystal ball. And it can also receive the command of the owner to do some simple search work." Xiu Yi took out another The crystal ball introduces to everyone.
"That's great. Oh my god, I've never heard of anyone inventing something like this before." Several material dealers and family representatives whispered to each other. After seeing the scout bee, a family representative immediately chatted with the people around him. Several aristocrats began to whisper, and then they looked at the same clerk and assistant officer, Mr. Bradstreet, of the city of Royo.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Master Dardaniel. I need to leave for a while." The clerk and assistant officer apologized to Xiuyi.
"Please, please," Xiu answered politely.
Watching the clerk and deputy hurried away from the meeting.
Xiu Yi smiled with satisfaction. He knew that he must be wondering whether Shuigler had such an invention.
The owner of the city of Royo, the transfer place of the material transaction, is the person most likely to know the secrets of Purgatory Island. After all, most of the materials shipped to Purgatory Island every year are purchased from him. The clerk and aide will certainly ask his master about the invention on Purgatory Island.
Now Xiuyi just hopes that the Lord of the City of Royo knows as much as possible.
But it does n’t matter if you do n’t know, because Xiuyi has other opportunities and methods to prove himself.
The lieutenant-secretary seemed to have any method of contacting the Lord Lord, in fact he returned soon.
The nobles and the clerk and lieutenant were whispering, apparently seeking their opinions. Judging by the smiles on their faces, the lieutenant-secretary gave them a satisfactory answer. The Lord of the City of Royo sent a very affirmative answer. In the technology of the empire's lost and lost, there was no such thing. .
After receiving the news, the nobles smiled warmly.
You know, if the scout is as useful as Xiu said, then it is undoubtedly a very promising alchemy. I believe many people will be interested in it. This includes things like the imperial royal family used on the battlefield. It will be a very effective reconnaissance weapon. It will allow the imperial soldiers to greatly reduce the possibility of ambush by the enemy.
"This little thing you invented is very interesting, maybe we can talk about it. I mean, it shouldn't be expensive to make it, right?" Mr. Dodge asked Xiuyi.
"Yes, but its technology is very valuable," Xiu Yi answered anxiously, "I believe it can sell for a good price."
"So ..." The Dodge thought for a while, and said to Xiuyi, "I don't know if Master Dardanelle has time to go down at noon tomorrow? Dodge Commercial welcomes you wholeheartedly. You know we are One of the largest commercial banks in the country has absolute economic strength. If the Dardanelles want to make a difference in the operation of alchemy products, Dodge Commercial can provide you and your family with quality services. "
Mr. Dodge handed his business card to Xiuyi.
"It is a great honor to receive your invitation. I will come to visit in person tomorrow at noon." Xiu Yi received the business card skillfully.
"And I……"
"And I……"
A group of nobles and businessmen handed their business cards to Xiuyi. Whether it is the upcoming material acquisition of the Dardanelles family or the unique alchemy technology they possess, businessmen have realized that they are encountering a A rare opportunity, no one wants to let it go.
Xiu Yi and Huoding were busy accepting various invitations and business cards, and exchanged a glance with each other.
The meaning of that look was that everything went well and great success!
After accepting a series of invitations, a group of people strode to the venue with the punctuation of the hour signal. At the forefront is a man wearing a noble dress, with a large square face, and a beard with a beard.
There is no doubt that man is Earl Brooks.
A man who appeared next to him was a middle-aged gentleman who looked very shrewd, but rather modest. Xiu estimates that this person is likely to be the general manager of the Silent Island Hotel. In such an occasion, it is impossible for the Southern family to send someone out and make a personal statement.
The next one appeared to surprise Xiuyi.
It was her, Countess Christine!
Xiu clearly saw that the moment the countess walked into the meeting room, her eyes stayed on her, showing a glance of horror.
Damn, she recognized me! !! ~!
