Chapter 241 [There are other plans] (two in one)(1/2)
Chapter 241 [Another plan] (two in one)!
(Two in one, six thousand words chapters!)
Chen Daolin didn't know that the entire emperor had already been in a turmoil for him - or that this guy knew it, but he still hid in the Magic Academy and did not go out.
The factory next to the Magic Academy has been built, with personnel entering and stockpiling raw materials. This land was rented by Angulu from the Magic Academy. It is said that the price is not cheap, but Angulu did not suffer any loss.
The news that this guy deliberately built the workshop next to the Magic Academy to the market, and also deliberately spread the cooperation between the workshop and the Magic Academy. In this way, it gives people the impression that "this thing was created by the people from the Magic Academy."
In Chen Daolin's words, it highlights his own "professionality".
In this era, the authority of the Magic Academy is still very popular.
Chen Daolin himself was idle. Anyway, the design drawings and materials of the Force Sword have been prepared. A group of "skilled workers" were produced on a small scale in the laboratory and trained a group of "skilled workers" led by students from the Magic Academy. As long as these skilled workers are thrown into the workshop, each person will bring a group of magic apprentices and craftsmen to make them on a large scale.
Chen Daolin didn’t want to get out the assembly line operation.
In terms of efficiency, assembly line operations are indeed an important milestone for modern industrial manufacturing to improve efficiency, but in places like the Roland Empire, there is no assembly line at all, and it is still in the manual stage.
However, Chen Daolin also made another gimmick:
"Make it by hand!"
"Every product of ours is polished by a magician himself!"
This is rare!
In this world, magicians belong to a rare group and a noble class. If they can own an object created by a magician, this sense of superiority will definitely attract a large number of nobles to pay for money.
The signboard of "Wushuangfang" has been established, and the shops have also been prepared on Jinji Street.
According to Chen Daolin's request, Anguluo selected a weapon store next to Master Kang's sword shop on Jinjin Street, and then the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce came forward and directly purchased the other party's store, removed the signboard, and renovated and expanded it.
It will be opened after the New Year.
However, there was also an unexpected episode between Chen Daolin.
The "auction house" I had been to before actually came to see me.
Chen Daolin knew the person who came. It was the manager who was responsible for receiving him when he went with Rospaning last time.
This time the other party came here to give gifts.
The copycat version of the "Friend Moon Five Light Armor" that Chen Daolin photographed last time was used to save Lan Lan, so when the transaction was finalized, Chen Daolin did not pick up the goods in cash, but left the armor in the auction house.
Afterwards, Chen Daolin suffered a secret loss and was hijacked halfway.
He naturally knew very well that the news was leaked by the auction house.
Chen Daolin is not a fool, he already knew vaguely that the backstage boss of this auction house must be the royal family, and maybe His Majesty the Emperor himself.
And he was indeed a disaster last time. The emperor said that he was going to let others buy Lan Lan and then lead Montoya and other church people out, but he snatched Lan Lan away and tried to play the role of this bait.
Chen Daolin couldn't find trouble with this auction house - the backstage boss was the one in the palace.
However, Chen Daolin didn't plan to pick up the goods for that set of armor. He didn't pay any money anyway, so he just thought it was a deposit and wasted.
But unexpectedly, the auction house people came to the door.
The manager brought the armor and sent it to Chen Daolin's home.
"I heard that Professor Darling's Wushuangfang was about to open, so the owner of the store sent me to congratulate you and wish Wushuangfang a prosperous business and a famous empire." The manager smiled very politely: "The owner of the store said that if you give me some gifts or something, it would be too cliché, but it offended a master like you. I just remembered that when you visited the store last time, I seemed to be quite eye-catching on this set of armor, so I brought it to me as a gift to celebrate the opening of your Wushuangfang. I also asked Professor Darling not to refuse and would definitely accept the owner of the store."
Chen Daolin narrowed his eyes.
The value of this set of armor was obtained at that time for tens of thousands of gold coins. The other party took such a generous gift worth tens of thousands of gold coins to deliver it to his door.
This is obvious to show good intentions.
Chen Daolin knew in his heart that this must be what the emperor meant. Last time he was accidentally made into bait, he suffered a secret loss. Although the backstage boss His Majesty the Emperor would not care about him, the people in the auction house were unwilling to offend him, the upstart in the imperial capital easily.
Compared with people like Anthony, Daling is a real upstart in the imperial capital. Not only is he appreciated by the emperor, but he has also entered the sight of several wealthy families and has the identity of a magician. If nothing unexpected happens, the first-class figures in the imperial capital will definitely have his name in the future.
This auction house is smart and knows that the last incident will definitely make each other's relationship very stiff, so I sent someone to repair the relationship.
Chen Daolin didn't want to have a frustration with them, after all, there was an emperor standing behind him. The things delivered to him were for nothing, not to mention that he really liked this set of armor.
Since everyone is determined to repair the relationship, the meeting has become very pleasant.
Chen Daolin did not show off his airs or make a face. He greeted the manager with a pleasant face for a while and invited the other party to have a cup of tea.
Then, the other party made a small request.
"My master has something to ask me to teach you." The manager said respectfully and smiled: "Master said that you are going to fight Anthony this time and set the time for the New Year. Now this matter is causing a lot of controversy in the imperial capital, and it must be your work. And your Wushuangfang is about to open - my master speculates that you must be planning to use this grand event to launch something special."
"Oh?" Chen Daolin frowned: "Why did your master think so?"
The manager quickly lowered his head to show that he did not dare to look at Chen Daolin, and said with a smile: "Master said that the martial arts competition event, and the opening of Wushuangfang, two things were brought together, which is not a coincidence. Inferior, you declared that you would not use magic to compete instead with martial arts. So what Wushuangfang would launch next must be special weapons and equipment. Maybe, in the competition that day, you will use these equipment to personally build momentum for this thing..."
Chen Daolin felt a little nervous: The person who runs the auction house has a good opinion.
"Professor Darling, please rest assured. This is just a little speculation from my master in private and will never be revealed to others. However, my master has a small request."
"What?"
"If my master is lucky enough to guess correctly, then after the competition, can you hand over the weapons and equipment you used to compete to our auction house for auction? As the first thing launched after this event, and you tried it yourself, then! The thing must be expensive. In addition, you will create momentum in our auction, so it will definitely push its value to a number that satisfies you. And... In order to show our sincerity, our auction house will not receive a penny of the agency fee for this auction."
Chen Daolin's eyes lit up.
This proposal has a lot of room for operation!
This auction house has a great influence in the imperial capital, and especially in the upper aristocratic class, people with the status of Earls like Rose are all the customer groups of the auction house.
After the competition that day, if I took the used "Sword of Force" to the auction house for auction, it would be equivalent to using the auction house's customer channels to completely promote the reputation of this thing!
More importantly, this auction house has always given people the impression that the auction items are either good or expensive!
If you take a trip to sell your own Force Sword from their store, it is equivalent to using the golden signboard of the auction house.
Why not do it?
On the other hand, the auction house made such a request and stated that it would not charge the agency auction fee, which is actually not without benefits.
This competition caused a lot of controversy in the imperial capital. It can be said that it was the first event this year during the New Year.
It is also a gimmick when I went on stage to compete in person and took the weapons I used by myself to auction the auction house. Although it does not charge the auction agency fee, it can attract a lot of attention for the auction house! For them, it doesn’t matter whether the agency auction fee is small or not, the key is to get this gimmick!
It's a win-win situation.
"Why should I refuse such a thing? " Chen Daolin laughed and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make a decision. After the competition, I'll leave the things to you for auction."
The manager was overjoyed and stood up and bowed to Chen Daolin and said, "I thank Professor Daling first on behalf of my master! I dare not disturb your precious time. I will say goodbye this time and return the good news to my master."
"You're welcome." Chen Daolin also stood up and personally sent the manager out to the door, and said with a smile: "I'll say hello to your master on my behalf, and I've received his kindness."
The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly. They all knew that the grudges of the previous incident ended and disappeared.
After the manager left, Chen Daolin returned to the study room, but saw Daglish's face strange.
"master."
"how?"
"The people from this auction house... did they just forget what happened last time?"
Daglish came back with Chen Daolin last time, but encountered intercepting and almost lost his life. When he thought about it, he was still a little angry.
Chen Daolin snorted, went up and slapped Daglish in the head: "Silly."
"Uh?" Daglish touched his forehead.
"The gifts sent by others are to show kindness... and this is not just a gift, but a kind of intention." Chen Daolin said quietly: "Before the competition has begun, they come to show kindness, give things, and discuss cooperation. I won't mention the value of the gift, but more importantly, an attitude, which is to tell me silently: they are very optimistic about me, they have confidence in me, and think that I will definitely win in the competition. This attitude is the real show of kindness, which is far more important than the value of that armor. Do you understand?"
The incident of Darling Chen challenging Anthony caused a stir in the imperial capital, and various forces were talking about it.
Anthony is doing well in the imperial capital, and it is not a secret that the Tulip Workshop is supported and supported. It is not a secret. Chen Daolin and the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce cooperated to create the Wushuang Chamber of Commerce, and the news has been made public. This time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a challenge for the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce to the Tulip Workshop.
Just as this matter was getting hotter and hotter on the market, a shocking news suddenly came out, which immediately attracted everyone's attention!
For a time, news swept across the Roland Empire, and the storm of the earth was like a major earthquake, bringing a series of subsequent impacts and changes...
Just as the people of the entire Roland Empire were preparing to welcome the New Year holiday and the great Roland Empire was about to enter the 1,100th year, and the empire was preparing for the 1,100th anniversary of the empire.
This major earthquake has already known the news for some people in advance, but for the vast majority of Roland Empire, it happened without warning...
December 1, 1,099, the 1st year of the Roland Empire.
Just one month away from the 1,100th year of the empire, the state religion of the Roland Empire, the Temple of Light, was officially announced:
The sacred, supreme, and great goddess of light spokesperson on earth, the spiritual leader of all the religious people of the Roland Empire, the current pope of the Temple of Light, His Majesty the Seventeenth Majesty, was seriously ill and unable to continue to preside over the affairs of the church, and announced his abdication!
Heinx, the former chief Archbishop of the Red Clothes of the Temple of Light, succeeded to the throne as the new pope.
The former presiding judge of the Temple of Light, Huo Duoke, was moved to the archbishop of the Cardinal.
The deputy commander of the Original Holy Knights, Henk, was honorably retired and moved to the new presiding judge of the referee.
Original……
On December 1st, as usual, the Mass was held at the cathedral of the Temple of Light in the imperial capital at the beginning of each month. After the preaching of the doctrine, the former Pope announced the decision in person in front of more than 3,000 congregants and clergy present.
According to the description of the people present at that time, when the news came out of the Pope, there was an uproar at the scene, some were shocked, some were mourning, some were angry, and some were confused.
Countless devout believers shed tears for it, and the people in the church were angry and sad for it...
