Chapter 40 Help
President Horton asked the craftsman to leave first, and he wanted to be alone and quiet.
Only President Horton was left in the room. At this time, he took out the notebook containing the resin alchemy formula and started reading it carefully.
"The record at that time should be correct. Phil first described this recipe, and after the honest truth surgery, he said it again. I also recorded it once and checked it again. There must be no errors. But why did the billiards I made slowly become soft?"
"Maybe only Phil can answer this question. After all, he is the inventor of resin, but he has become a fool, which means I will never find the answer to resin becoming soft!"
Thinking of this, President Horton's fist angrily hit the table. He realized that if the problem of resin becoming softened cannot be solved, the resin billiard ball will become useless waste. A soft-pedaling billiard ball will be a sunken when it hits, and it will not be used at all.
"Can the resin billiards I have worked hard to get will eventually become waste?" President Horton gritted his teeth unwillingly.
The next second, President Horton thought again, if resin billiards have become waste, then it may not be a good thing for the Horton Chamber of Commerce. Without resin billiards, ivory billiards will have a place to be used, and the ivory stockpiled by the Horton Chamber of Commerce can be sold again.
"Phil has become a fool. Luoye Town probably won't produce new resin billiards. If this is the case, it will be the world of ivory billiards again in the future!" President Horton couldn't help laughing.
But after only three seconds of laughing, President Horton suddenly remembered another thing, and his expression instantly solidified again.
"The resin billiards I produced began to soften in half a month, but the resin billiards sold in Luoye Town have been selling more than half a month. Didn't the billiards they produced have become soft?"
Thinking of this, President Horton called a servant.
"President, what are your instructions?" the servant asked.
"Go and buy me a box of billiards produced in Luoye Town. It doesn't matter whether the new or old ones are new or old. The earlier the production time, the better." President Horton ordered.
An hour later, the servant brought a box of resin billiards: "President, this is billiards produced in Luoye Town. This box of billiards is a second-hand product. I bought it from a small bar. They have been using it for more than a month, and probably produced two months ago."
President Horton immediately took out a billiard ball from the box and squeezed it hard, but no matter how hard President Horton tried, the billiard ball was still intact, with no trace on it.
"The billiards I produce will become soft in fifteen days, but the billiards I produce in Luoye Town are still very hard after two months. What is wrong?" President Horton felt an inexplicable uneasiness.
"Fortunately, Phil has become a fool, and Luoye Town can no longer produce new billiards." President Horton comforted himself.
However, the uneasiness in President Horton's heart became stronger and stronger. The intuition he developed over the years of business told him that he had entered a trap.
Finally, President Horton called the servant and then ordered: "Send someone to Luoye Town again, and this time pretend to be buying billiards, and test how much inventory they still have."
At this time, President Horton couldn't help but miss Peter a little. If Peter was still alive, the Holden Chamber of Commerce would not have been ignorant in terms of business intelligence.
...
More and more people are returning goods, and the Holden Chamber of Commerce is overwhelmed. Not only has the money I earned from selling billiards been spent, but the Holden Chamber of Commerce has also paid a large sum of money.
The Holden Chamber of Commerce really couldn't afford to lose money, so it could only stop the return and exchange of billiards, which made the hornet's nest. More people gathered in front of the Holden Chamber of Commerce to ask for a refund. The Holden Chamber of Commerce's resin billiards have become unwelcome products. Many bar owners would rather use the previous wooden billiards than use the Holden Chamber of Commerce's resin billiards.
More importantly, the reputation of the Holden Chamber of Commerce plummeted, which was a fatal blow to the Holden Chamber of Commerce after bankruptcy.
At this time, the people sent by President Horton to Luoye Town to inquire about the news also came back.
"President, Luoye Town is still shipping, and the shipment volume is not small. After the billiards in our Chamber of Commerce have a problem, more people went to Luoye Town to order billiards."
"Then have you seen Phil?" President Horton asked.
"No, I pretended that the buyer was going to discuss business. The one who received me was an old magician named Harry, who was said to be Phil's servant. As for that Phil, I also inquired about him and heard that he was sick and stayed at home."
President Horton frowned and asked again: "Have you found out how much they have left in stock?"
"Yes, I said I would order a hundred sets of billiards and asked them how much stock they still have. They said I would have as much as I want. And they also urged me to pay the deposit as soon as possible. It didn't seem like a bluff, they should have a lot of stock."
"How much do you want?" Upon hearing the news, President Horton suddenly stood up from his chair.
"Oh no, there is another person in Luoye Town who knows the alchemy formula for resin!"
President Horton believes that besides Phil, there are others who also know the alchemy formula of resin, so Leaf Town can continue to produce billiards.
"Eight out of ten are the old servant named Harry." President Horton pondered for a few seconds and ordered to the servant: "Prepare a carriage for me, I will leave the city and meet my uncle."
President Horton decided to seek help from the great magician Andrew immediately.
...
On the outskirts of the capital, there are tall towers and buildings, all of which are magician towers.
In the Eternal Kingdom, as long as you advance to become a great magician, you can have your own magician tower, which will become a place for magicians to live, practice and conduct magic experiments.
But all magician towers will not be built in densely populated towns, but will only be built in the suburbs. Because when magicians practice or experiment, the magic fluctuations generated will affect the surrounding residents.
More importantly, in the Eternal Kingdom, the height of buildings in each town cannot be higher than that of the temples dedicated to gods. If the magic tower is built in the town, it will inevitably be super high, which is not allowed by the temple. Therefore, the magic tower can only be built in the suburbs, so it can be free from height restrictions.
President Horton's carriage was parked at the entrance of a magician tower, which was the magician tower of the great magician Andrew, and there were servants waiting there.
"President Horton, Master, let me welcome you here." The servant said respectfully.
"Uncle knows I'm here?" President Horton asked subconsciously.
"President, you forgot that the Eye of Reconnaissance has been arranged within a radius of five miles of the Magician Tower." The servant made a gesture of invitation and continued, "President, please come in, the Great Magician is waiting for you inside!"
