Chapter 64: business partner

The wooden carved gate of the castle parlor was opened from the inside. The first came out was the Earl's butler Pinto. As he reached out to lead the way, Xiao Chen, Li Jia and several business team commissioners came out and stood beside them. It was more than a dozen merchants with different costumes, but most of them were luxuriously dressed.
The interior of the castle is as cold and dark as usual, and the light can only be spread on the ground and walls through the narrow window. But the movements and whispers between these people were filled with a warm atmosphere, and the heat from the parlor made the stone house warm.
When everyone approached the door with greetings, when a chubby businessman saluted Xiao Chen: "Dear Lord Chen Chen, the negotiation method you arranged really opened our eyes. We can't imagine how short it can be. In time, determine so many 'cooperative projects'. "
He patted the paper bound in a knife in his hand and looked around at his peers. He said, "I'm going to take this 'tender book' as a baby, and only the miracle of magic can make the document so exquisite and beautiful. It ’s the content that can make a complicated business so deadly clear. I think that the elders of the Chamber of Commerce in Liberty City will be stunned by this document. I ’m going back to give them an eye-opener. , Business can do this! "
Most of the people around nodded their heads, echoing what he said.
Xiao Chen took the other person's hand and shook it vigorously, saying in the flattered eyes of the other party: "Everyone's recognition of us makes me very happy. Although I met you for the first time, I have a hunch, Our cooperation can go on smoothly and last for a long time. This is a magician's intuition. However, you can relax a little bit and talk about any problems. Don't be afraid of me. Our magicians don't eat people. "
The merchants all laughed in coordination. The first one looked at his hand nervously and said, "If I say to someone that a magician took the initiative to shake my hand with them, they are sure to laugh at me nonsense. "
"This is what I want to emphasize. We not only come to do business with everyone, but also to be friends with everyone. You don't have to think of us as a high-level alien, but you must think of me as a partner that can communicate."
Xiao Chen snapped his fingers, and a cluster of flames appeared on his hand. The flames grew bigger and bigger, and the last explosion exploded into small sparks. "We have some extraordinary power in the field of magic, and everyone is also in the field of gold coins. With extraordinary power, we are all a class of people in the end. "
The people around laughed louder. A businessman said: "Then you are a master in two fields."
"There is another area." Xiao Chen raised a finger, "I also have a lot of research in food."
He shook hands with them one by one and invited: "Tonight, we borrowed the castle of the earl to prepare a celebration dinner for everyone, please be sure to appreciate the light"
After the crowd dispersed, Xiao Chen said to Pinto: "The count's commercial influence surprised me. I didn't expect his tentacles to spread from the north to the empire and the south to the free city state."
"These merchants are not all branches of our family, they just have a long-term trade relationship with the Arias family." Pinto explained.
Xiao Chen smiled and said: "I know how the commercial network forms power. Even if these people are not members of the family, the dense chain of interests has tied them with you. And, I believe this is only your power. portion."
Pinto smiled noncommittally, "I'm glad you can recognize the capabilities of the Arias family. However, allow me to remind you that when you treat these merchants as a mage, you may be able to do more."
"High above?"
"Yes, after all, mages and nobles are the heads of the world, craftsmen are the hands of the world, farmers are the bodies of the world, and merchants are just the feet of the world."
"Where is the king? Where are the gods?"
"The king is within the nobility, and the gods are outside the world."
"Well, an interesting model." Xiao Chen patted Pinto's shoulder. "Maybe I will like my position inside, but the business people may not like them."
Xiao Chen returned to his room and took off the cumbersome mage robe, leaving only a short-sleeved undershirt. The thin undershirt was no longer able to cover the lines of muscles on his body. Whether it was chest, abdomen, or arms, he changed from the past to his weak appearance, and there were lumps of solid lumps slightly raised. After the body was transformed by the white light in the underground palace, Xiao Chen became stronger and stronger, and his physique became stronger and stronger. It was during the late autumn season that he stayed in the stone house, even though he did not feel cold.
Lying on the hard wooden bed, Xiao Chen crossed his hands on his chest, eyes looked at the rough stone roof, but thought about the bits and pieces of the previous negotiations. Do n’t look at him talking and laughing all the way, only he knows how hard it is to get in touch with these old businessmen.
The business team actually added a lot of clauses in favor of their own agreements, but these rules and regulations organized in modern terms were found after the other party fully understood the meaning of those words. Whether it is the ownership of equity or the calculation of interest, as long as the truth is explained here, those businessmen can always quickly learn without a teacher, and even put forward some countermeasures. Xiao Chen knows that this is a keen sense that he has cultivated after dealing with money for a long time, and the financial, legal, and economics teachers and students of the business group are just rookies holding books in front of the old fritters of the other party.
I really can't underestimate people in this world.
At this time, Xiao Chen's heart moved, and his mental power sensed that someone outside the door of the room was walking back and forth. One of the manifestations of spiritual power is that, like a humanoid radar, he can roughly perceive the movements within a dozen meters of the surrounding.
The guy seemed very hesitant. He stood at the door several times and wanted to knock, but turned around and walked away, continuing to turn around the door. After waiting for a while, Xiao Chen finally lost his patience. He jumped out of bed, put on a shirt, and walked to the door. When the man walked to the door again, he opened the door.
"I knew that you were the only one entangled in this kind of person. Have you changed enough? Come in and talk." Xiao Chen shook his head and pulled Li Jia into the door.

Li Jia walked into the door pretendingly, holding her hands to her chest and bowing her back a little, like a little boy who had done something bad. After he entered the door, he was still spinning around, giving a very uneasy feeling.
Xiao Chen opened a chair beside the small table by the window, "Sit, sit down and say!"
Li Jia laughed twice, took out a ring from his pocket, and gave it to Xiao Chen's hand, which was the ring of secret inheritance that Xiao Chen often carried in his hand.
"Tried for three days. There was no response at all. I was able to inspire spiritual whipping magic inside, but I didn't feel any inheritance information. I guess I probably didn't have the qualifications to inherit those magics."
Xiao Chen put the ring back on his hand and thought for a while: "Maybe only the part responsible for inheriting magic has been used up. To put it bluntly, the most powerful part of this ring is that it can directly engrave the structure of magic in your mind. If you are learning magic by looking at the records of ancient magicians, this step is more difficult. Those ancient magicians have not taken art classes, and many of them are soul painters. If we have alternative methods, All right."
Li Jia nodded his head and agreed. At that time, Celinda demonstrated it many times in order to teach him a wind blade technique, and he was really able to clearly imagine this rune structure in his mind. He said: "The record of magic has always been a problem. Some of the magic books in Celinda's house are all explained by illustrations. A magic that can be excited in one second can only be disassembled into dozens of pictures. Clearly, one by one, it has changed like a comic strip. "
"Oh, comics!" Xiao Chen suddenly stood up when he heard this, staring at Li Jia in a daze.
"what happened?"
"Are you talking about paintings connected together?"
"Yup."
"Isn't that the animation?"
"But, from all angles, because those magic structures are all three-dimensional" Li Jia did not react for a while.
"Then use 3D animation!" Xiao Chen was excited at once, squeezing his fists and smashing his palms. "We are so stupid, why didn't we think of using animation software to do this? Go back to school and try a computer test Try, I think this will work! "
"Are you ready to use 3d animation software to make a dynamic magic structure model?" Li Jia couldn't help but also stood up.
"Why not?" Xiao Chen's voice was rapid, and his eyes were almost shining. "The essence of magic is a three-dimensional rune structure composed of mental power. It keeps moving during the spell. So whether it is dictation, demonstration, or reading books. It ’s hard to tell the process clearly, which is the most difficult place to teach magic. However, this is not a problem for 3d animations! After modeling, set the motion path, and then move the mouse to turn it around, right? In this way, can the magic that each of us learn be reproduced in the computer for others to learn? "
"Your brain is so big." Li Jia said with open mouth. "However, that seems to be the case. I'm going, this can be done! This can be done!"
"Right, right!" Xiao Chen shook Li Jia's shoulder and shook, "Now we're going to fall apart!"
"Why do I have a feeling that what you are doing now will definitely overturn what may even affect the entire world?"
"The vision of modern people makes us unwilling to be indifferent." Xiao Chen smiled smugly with pride. He walked around the house several times, thinking about the feasibility of this matter over and over again.
It took him a while to calm himself down, and told Li Jia to say: "Okay, okay, we have to go back to school to try this matter. Don't tell others first."
"Don't people from our own team say that?" Li Jia asked.
"Don't talk before things are done, so that others will not be happy."
"Ok."
"Hey, by the way, what are you trying to say to me today?"
"Oh, oh." Li Jia took out a reel made of heavy leather. After he spread it on the small table, it was 30 centimeters square, and the densely composed of runes was painted on it. pattern. If such a scroll is used to excite, it can completely release a magic. If it is not cited, it is used to try to learn. It can also feel the three-dimensional magic rune structure in the spiritual world. It consumes this precious scroll more than the magic recorded in text. It's much easier to learn.
"I learned flying from this scroll. This scroll is full of energy and I am not slow to learn. So, I think you may still be able to use it to learn again."
"Selinda made a book." Xiao Chen held the scroll in his hands and looked at it carefully. The workmanship was delicate and the brushwork was beautiful. It must be the master's work. Putting the scroll away, Xiao Chen's eyes turned back, "No, this is not the reason for your hesitation at my door. Don't be sloppy, what the are you talking about?"
"Hey, I know I can't hide you. This" Li Jia squeezed for a while before approaching Xiao Chen, whispering, "Can you lend me the sea shadow shadow for a long time?"
