Vol 3 Chapter 29: installment

In the morning, Christine was not awake, and the maid was yelling outside:
"Oh, ma'am, look!"
"What's going on, Jenny? You're such a fuss, did the sky fall?" Christine opened her hazy eyes and looked at her maid with dissatisfaction.
Hugh Iglell was right. After being poisoned, he had insomnia most of the night last night, and didn't fall asleep until early in the morning. But she wasn't sure if it was the effect of the drug or the result of being too irritated last night.
"Oh, no, ma'am, I'm sorry for my rudeness, but I still have to say ... That's amazing, you better look out the window." The maid said to Christine with a flushed face. .
Christine rolled over and rushed to the window.
Then she saw the square of the Silent Island Hotel, where tens of thousands of lovers filled the square with tears. They form a large heart shape, thousands of candles are lit in the flowers, forming a beautiful red ocean.
Hugh Igle is standing in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers, holding a large bouquet of millennium flowers in his hand, looking down at Christine and smiling at her.
"My God, he's crazy!" Christine exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands.
Lover's tears represent love, and the millennium flower means eternity. It is very normal for nobles to use these two flowers to pursue their favorite girl. But to say that tens of thousands of flowers are used to show love, and to show publicly on the street, this behavior has never been done before.
Romance requires a social environment. Although the style of the Lance Empire is also open, it is unprecedented in luxury and so bold.
Although it is a trick used in the 21st century, the more it is used, the more effective it is.
It turns out that no woman can resist this way of courtship, and even if she doesn't like this man, she will never dislike this behavior.
As for Xiu, Christine didn't even have the possibility to refuse.
She yelled, "Hurry up, get him up. Oh my gosh, I haven't washed my face yet. Don't bring him in, let him wait for me in the living room."
The maid ran out quickly.
After half an hour, Christine finally put on her makeup. At this moment, she was dressed up in various styles and charming.
"Hope I didn't let you wait too long," Christine apologized.
"In fact, in terms of makeup speed, your efficiency is already very high." Xiu Yi laughed. The millennium flowers he has collected have been properly stored in vases. As long as there is sufficient moisture, these flowers can always bloom, and they can maintain their beauty for a long time.
Let the maid go down, Christine came to Xiuyi: "Are you crazy? You bought so many flowers? You don't need to do that at all." After thinking about it, she bit her lip and said, "Anyway, according to you Plan, as long as you need it, I will invite you to stay in my room anytime, anywhere. "
"But at least let everyone understand why."
"Very well, this time you did give the people in the city a reasonable reason. I guess everyone will know this afternoon that Catherd Darnil, a new family heir, is going crazy Come and conquer Christine. "
"And it will be a great success soon." Xiu Yi smiled and held Christine's arm.
"Just on the surface."
"That's right, so I'm sorry to tell you something."
"what?"
"The bills for those flowers will be sent directly to your house."
"Oh! Shuigler, you bastard!" Christine gave him a kick angrily.
Xiu smiled at her with a smile, without any resistance.
Kristin froze a little, and then suddenly realized that she was threatened and controlled by Xiu Yi, but it seemed that her performance was not the result of being forced.
"Oh ... I'm sorry." She was a little panicked.
"It's not necessary." Xiu Yi smiled. "You can rest assured. As long as you keep in touch, you will soon find that most of the time, I am fairly approachable."
"I hope so," Christine muttered. "So what do I do next?"
"How about going for a walk in the garden? Just talk about something and increase some understanding and feelings. At noon, I will have lunch with the vice chairman of Dodge Commercial, and I will discuss business with some other people in the afternoon. You can spend time with me today. "
"Well, Count Brooks hopes I can accompany him for lunch, and now it seems I can only quit." Christine said helplessly. She was surprised that she didn't really resist it.
"So you have to thank those flowers, they made the public think that you were moved by my loyalty, so I was given a special day."
"What about tomorrow?"
"Trust me, Miss Christine, there is no end to romance. As long as you have the heart, surprises will come knocking every day." Xiu Yi smiled confidently.
—Walking side by side with Xiu Yi on the garden path of the Silent Island Hotel, Christine felt a little weird.
It stands to reason that when walking with a "famous" person like Xiuyi, she should be afraid in her heart, but I don't know why, she found that she was not really afraid. In fact, she even had Somewhat excited.
There was a faint sensation in the vagueness.
As long as you think about yourself and Xiu Yileer last night, you can still live up and down from the Lanya Grand Theater. The majestic teenager has survived to the present, and even walked side by side with each other, there is a bit in mind Pride.
Especially after she had grasped the other party ’s secrets, and the other party did not choose to kill herself, and even promised to remove the headaches that caused her headaches, she became more proud.
It doesn't look like this teenager is so scary. On the contrary, as he said, he is quite cute when he doesn't kill.
And he doesn't seem to be killing innocent people.
"I always thought that demons don't understand romance," Christine admired.
"That's because you don't know the devil." Xiu answered with a smile: "In fact, the devil deceives people, not relying on the terrible fangs and claws, but all kinds of beautiful means to seduce. The devil makes people fall, makes People are addicted, so they know how to bring people good enjoyment and let people voluntarily invest in the arms of the devil. Romance is just one way. This is entirely because you are a woman and beautiful Women, so if I use this method to win your joy. But if you are someone else, then the devil will use other methods to please you. Seeing the wind to the helm is the secret of the devil's success. "
"Really? So is every demon as erudite as you are? That requires considerable knowledge and insight."
"In fact, the devil is really knowledgeable. In order to be degraded, the devil must learn a lot and be good at communicating with different people. To talk to the alchemist about inventions, to politicians about the international situation, and at art exhibitions, Appreciation of the arts, cooking at the reception, talking to the ladies, and clothing to the ladies. Not only this, but sometimes it is necessary to talk about politics to the alchemists and academic papers to scholars, because they do n’t know anything, they are happy to let them have some wisdom. Yes Niu Tan's piano doesn't need to pick a good song at all! Ha! "Christine held her lips and laughed." This is the most interesting description of the devil I have ever heard. "
Xiu Yi serious: "As a demon, you must have a progressive spirit and be able to follow the 'wheel of the times'."
Christine laughed back and forth and closed them together: "Oh my gosh, I finally understand why you can survive on Purgatory Island for so long, because you and Ben are the little bad guys who lie to the dead. Even the most terrible things, It can turn into a piece of honey in your mouth. It's hard to imagine that when you first saw you, you were killing people crazy, but yesterday, I was scared to death by you. As of now, my body even I have the poison you gave me, but when I face you, I can still laugh and smile so happily. Oh, the gods are up, it ’s incredible, you are indeed a demon who is good at playing with hearts. And just like you What he said was a learned demon. "
Xiu stared at Christine seriously.
He didn't interface with her topic, but frowned slightly: "Excuse me, if I heard correctly, you used the word Purgatory Island just now? I mean ... you know the existence of Purgatory Island?"
"I only know part of it." Christine shrugged. "Now this secret is becoming more and more a secret. Oh, I only heard it from Count Brooks. I think that's why I'm not so afraid of you Because I know you are not a real demon. "
"It turned out to be this way, it seems I still underestimated your energy. Even if more and more people know this secret, it won't be accessible to anyone. So why did Count Brooks tell you such a big secret? He just Afraid to lose your head? "
"Oh, don't you know that I also have an industry in materials management?" Christine looked at Xiu with surprise: "Otherwise why do you think I would go with that old of Earl Brooks? He was earlier this month Announcing that I want to reduce the purchase volume by 80%, hateful bastard, how do you deal with the materials I collected? He asked me to accompany him, then he promised to buy the materials I have. This matter made me a headache, the fact I am ready to bear a loss. I know that I do n’t have a good alchemist on my hands. Those are precious materials. It is a shameful waste to give them to an ordinary alchemist. I want to do everything I can to know the end Why does Empire need to reduce the amount of materials purchased, I must know whether this reduction is occasional or will it be reduced in order to make the right choice in future operations. Brooks told me in order to achieve my long-term ownership This secret. He wanted to threaten me! Then I knew it was related to you, it was all because of you! "
"That was the case." Xiu Yi nodded: "This is really interesting. Maybe I can help you solve this problem, I mean, you seem to have forgotten one thing, I am an alchemist, mine It means that in terms of alchemy, I am confident that I can still afford the evaluation of the two words excellent. "
Christine's eyes glowed with excitement: "Oh my gosh, you want to tell me you can eat my batch of ingredients?"
"The problem is that I don't have that much money." Xiu Yi answered blushingly. "But if you give me time, I can help you process them all into finished products, and then you sell them. Trust me, you can make money. It's more than selling materials, and you don't have to worry about preservation. "
"That would be the best." Kristin was excited. From Count Brooks, she fully understood the level of alchemy of Xiuyi, and the battle at the Lanya Grand Theater proved this.
"But as a condition, I need you to help me buy other materials." Xiu Yi said.
Kristin understood something: "You want me to help you complete the first major deal of the Dardanelles? And ... you don't actually have that much money."
"Just the money for the Silent Island Hotel is going to bankrupt us," Xiu said without shame.
"How much material are you planning to acquire?"
"Earl Brooks gave up 80% of the material acquisition, and I will eat 60%. What do you think?"
"That would require no less than six million King Witt. That's not a small amount. Even I can't take out so much money at once."
"Don't worry about this. There are many ways to do business. Many times we don't have to do as much as we have money. Right?"
Kristin's eyes rolled: "Do you mean ... owing debts?"
"To be precise, it is installment. I plan to implement a new payment method. Buyers use credit as capital, get a large amount of goods in advance, and then use this batch of goods as collateral and later profit chips. Earn Enough money before making a post payment. "
"It sounds fresh."
"A method of rapid expansion with small bets. Of course, if I buy less, the financial abilities of the Dardanelle family will be doubted. But if more acquisitions are made, huge financial pressure will make installments payable. Become justified behavior. After all, there are not a few families in the entire empire who can easily take out a huge sum of six million. In addition, since I only bought 60%, this formed a material sales gap of up to 20%. It will create sales pressure for many businesses, which will also give us the bargaining chips. Before that, we must first establish a margin system to dispel everyone's doubts. After all, my purpose is not to cheat money. So I do n’t need to count One million King Witt, as long as you give me six hundred thousand, I can make this money ten times worth. I mean, I intend to eat this batch of goods for one tenth of the price, and then pick up Every month, one tenth of the payment is paid in full, and the annexation of the goods is completed within one year. What do you think? "
I have to say that Kristin was also surprised by Xiuyi's plan. The teenager was so careful that he even figured out this method, even in business, he showed extraordinary talent.
Just involving such a huge amount, one or two genius ideas cannot solve the problem.
Even 600,000 King Witt was not a small number, and Christine couldn't help hesitating.
She pondered repeatedly and began to think about some of the details in the Xiuyi plan. Then she hesitated, "So how do you plan to process those materials. You need to know that there are so many materials that can be piled into mountains. Is it up to you alone?"
Xiu Yi smiled confidently on his face: "Even on the original Purgatory Island, engaged in mass production and uninterrupted supply of a national armed force's logistics personnel, there are only ten apprentices. Even so, I They still have enough free time to do other things. Only the alchemist thinks that the materials are not enough. How can there be an alchemist saying that the materials in Rushan are not enough? In this regard, Mrs. Christine, you don't have to worry about it. "
Christine shrugged her shoulders: "Well then, I can give you 600,000 King Witt for you. This is my current limit. You know most of my money is in flow, then What about? "
"It takes time to establish a credit system, and what the Dardanelles lack is time. So the best way is to have a guarantor to ensure the reputation and credit of the Dardanelles."
"You asked me to be your family guarantor? Oh my god, if you fail, I'm finished!"
Xiu bowed deeply to Christine: "Dear Madam, from the moment you met me last night, your destiny has changed. The only thing you can expect now is that I will always Can't fail. "Christine sighed helplessly.
She found that in her confrontation with the boy, she had completely lost.
She had thought that she could take advantage of the opportunity to repair Iglell, but he was dragged into his chariot step by step.
This young man is obviously only sixteen years old, but his speech is not as mature as when he was sixteen. He thinks the problem is comprehensive, in-depth, step by step, and it is even harder to prevent himself. He was cunning, fierce, decisive, and ... he was thick-skinned.
With the development of this matter, Christine finally reluctantly realizes the fact that the dominant power has completely fallen into the control of Xiu Yi.
"Even if that is the case, they may not agree to this type of transaction. Know that they also need cash. And your transaction means that they have all their money in your hands."
"On this issue, you can rest assured that I naturally have a way to get them to agree."
"Well then, you must prove to me that you really have the ability to digest such a large batch of materials, and also prove to me that what you make must be a sought-after product and have a sufficient profit." Kris Ting said weakly that this was her last bit of effort to regain the initiative. In a sense, she hoped that Hugh Iglell was bragging.
"Then I need a quiet space."
—Christine borrowed the basement below the Silent Island Hotel, and delivered a batch of materials in accordance with Xiuyi's request.
In the dim basement, there are now only Christine and Xiu.
Kristin noticed that Xiu Yi looked at the table full of materials, and her eyes showed a strange enthusiasm. At that moment, Kristin's mind was stunned. She seemed to see the killing in the Langya Theater. Crazy teenager.
Christine knew that was how the teenager focused.
Behind the gentle and elegant young man, he possesses both the mad desire for knowledge and the fearlessness of killing. Today, Christine finally saw Xiu Yi's performance when he focused on work.
The next moment, Xiu's hands quickly picked up the materials on the table and began to perform alchemy processing with skill. A bottle of metal softener was patted by Xiu on the mouth of the bottle, and the stopper flew into the air. Xiu picked up the bottle and quickly dropped a few drops on a metal block. Then the bottle was picked up in the air, and the stopper fell back. Back to the bottle mouth. When the bottle was lowered, Xiu's left hand quickly threw the softened metal block into the air, and the metal block was frozen in the air. Xiu's right hand flew several wires at the same time, entangled on the metal block. With the spelling in Xiu's mouth, the metal blocks were constantly deformed in the air, and the wires were more and more entangled. At the same time, his left hand took out a crystal ball and other materials, ready to proceed to the next step. program. In the air is a beautiful embroidered pattern woven from metal wires flying around. On the experimental table, Xiu Yi's one-handed operation is also ongoing. Various materials move like one's own feet, and they are combined with each other. effect……
Xiuyi's movements are fast and accurate. Long-term samurai practice has given him a stable pair of hands, rich knowledge, and long-term work experience on Purgatory Island, and he has a sufficient understanding of how these materials will react with each other. It's like a craftsman who always cooks multiple dishes at the same time, but never messes up. The material in the air was dancing, Xiu Yi's hands were flying like butterflies and flowers, and people were dazzled.
Obviously it was an ordinary alchemy product manufacturing, but under Xiu Yi's hands, it became a gorgeous show.
Even if the layman saw this scene, they would immediately understand how powerful Xiu Yi's accomplishments in alchemy are.
Kristin looked a little crazy.
About an hour and a half later, Xiu Yi looked at Christine with a smile of three processed scouts.
He released a scout bee, let it fly around Christine, then took out a crystal ball to explain to Christine how to use this little thing, and Christine was surprised.
Ever since Electra's laboratory failed to try to perform multiple alchemy experiments at the same time as the alchemist, Xiuyi has been trying to improve his alchemy production efficiency. He found that although he could not perform many experiments at the same time as the legendary master, this did not prevent him from carrying out multiple alchemy production and processing at the same time.
Experiments are different from production. Many contents of the experiments are unknown. It requires the alchemist's full attention to observe and understand. There is probably no second alchemist in the world to conduct multiple experiments at the same time. But production is different. Production is a repetitive construction based on a known basis, which can be carried out in a personal pipeline.
At first, Xiuyi produced King Kong Zhi in time to produce it at the same time, which is why. And when the assistant of the puppet told Xiuyi, he was more suitable for the development direction, not to invent the unknown alchemy, but to limit the use and sublimation of the existing alchemy. Xiuyi completely changed the idea of ​​imitating Electra. Therefore, he carefully designed a production process for alchemy production.
In this case, Xiu Yi's production speed was twice as fast as in the past, so it just formed the amazing visual effect that made Christine dazzle.
For Xiuyi, all of this can be summed up in one word: proficiency.
When he came to Christine, Xiuyi asked, "How much is the material you gave me just now?"
"It's worth thirty Kimvites, but you only use half of them," Kristin replied.
Xiu Yi said: "That is to say, the cost of each reconnaissance bee is five King Witt. What you see now is made by me in an hour and a half. If my assistant is here, at the same time I can Five scout bees were produced. In one day, I could complete thirty scout bees. Compared with the first production, my efficiency was increased by about four times. Of course, this is also because I do not want it to become my enemy against me It ’s a sharp weapon, so it intentionally limits some of its functions and service life, and reduces some production processes. This bee can only accept the simplest instructions, and the service life is only one year. "
"Commercially, make it a consumable rather than make it (computer read
m becomes durable goods and has a more sustainable way to make money. "Christine quickly interfaces, after all, a woman doing business, Christine immediately recognized Xiu Yi's approach from a business perspective.
"That's right." Xiu laughed. "I want to remind you that the cost of scouting bees is only five King Witt. If I now make a higher cost potion or something else, I will Speed, I can consume tens of thousands of Jinweit value materials every day, but the cost of the medicine is too high, the loss is too large, in terms of profit ratio, it is better than the scout bee. But I think you can rest assured now right?"
Kristin exclaimed: "Yes, before that, I never thought that anyone would turn the production of alchemy into an art. Shuigler, you are truly amazing. This It ’s hard to imagine. No wonder people always say that the alchemist is the most burning profession in the world. Six million King Witts, my God, such a huge fortune, if you want, maybe less than a hundred days You can consume them all. "
"Very right, then these little things are for you." Xiu put the scout bee into Kristin's hand, and by the way touched her soft and creamy hand: "I give you the right to sell it, You can think about what price it would be better for. "
"Do you still have to ask? The asking price is 300 to 500 Jinwei Tes, and the bottom price is 100 Jin Wei Tes. You have to say good things to Mrs. Ben and be human." Christine was full of confidence. Full road.
"Mrs. is really proficient in business," Xiu Yi laughed.
Product pricing often does not depend on its cost, but on market demand. The Scout Bee is currently the exclusive technology of Xiuyi, and no one will make it except him. Based on this alone, Kristin can ask the price. Moreover, most of the people who can use scouts are the military or some private armed forces, and ordinary civilians are not used. Most of these people are not short of money, let alone a hundred goldvites, and even if they are a thousand goldvites, they can only buy them bit by bit as long as they need them. Exclusive technology and exclusive business means absolute profits.
If it wasn't for the nature of the empire, Kristin wouldn't dare to ask too much, just because she could really make thousands of King Witt prices. However, it is precisely because of this that Christine no longer needs to look at the count of Brooke, who bought the royal family. In turn, count Brooks asked Christine to sell him some of these things.
"So, Madam, what else is wrong?" Xiu asked him.
Looking at Hugh Iglell's confident smile, Christine thought for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Can you do the scout again?"
"Why?" Xiu didn't understand.
Christine's face reddened slightly: "Don't you know that when men focus on work, it is actually the most attractive moment? ... you look handsome just now."
Xiu Yi is dumb. !! ~!
