Alien paradise
Chapter 420: The pinnacle
Three days later, the first Sancia Industry Conference was held as scheduled at the Golden Maisui Hotel.
Because the Ninth Princess of the Yue Gui family and Duke Long Jiu will be present, the security check is much stricter than usual. Farrellan went through three inspections from arriving in the hotel garden to entering the lobby. Not only was his identity checked, but he was also searched twice to confirm that he was not carrying any dangerous items before he was allowed to enter. In addition, he also noticed that there were guards watching around the garden, at the stairs and on both sides of the walkways. In the event of an emergency, they could immediately seal off the entire hotel.
To be honest, Farrellan didn't want to come to this conference at all.
But the royal guards obviously knew that he was planning to run away at any time, so they stayed with him for the past three days and hoped that he could attend the meeting together to witness the royal family's revenge.
What happens after revenge?
Let the ignorant princess of the Yue Gui family ascend the throne?
Obviously this is impossible...
He vaguely heard that the defeated kingdom's army had fled to the mountains in the northeast. As new contenders for power, how could they give up the fat they had finally bitten off?
Of course, Farrellan didn't care about this, just as he didn't think there was any problem with the Longjiu family replacing the Yuegui family... He just hoped that the royal city would not fall into war and that his family would be safe.
If those royal guards really cause any big trouble, sooner or later the admission quota provided by him will be traced. What Farrellan can do at the moment... is to pray that his old friend is aware of the secret code he gave.
"Master of the Yuegui family, His Highness Bi Fei Taser enters!"
Following the guard's shout, the guests in the lobby immediately stopped talking and consciously walked aside to make way for the middle of the road.
Ninth Princess Bi Fei slowly walked into the venue accompanied by several maids. Since she was the only heir of the Yue Gui family, people knelt down on one knee, caressed their breasts and bowed their heads, treating her with the highest courtesy. However, there is obviously a big question mark as to how many people really want to do this. At least Farrellan heard a not-so-quiet "whisper" coming from behind.
"She is very close to the Duke now..."
"Not only with Wilson Long Jiu, she also has a pretty good relationship with several noble sons of the Long Jiu family. I really don't understand this woman. They are obviously her father-killing enemies. Could it be that she was... …Impressed?"
"I think so. This little girl is getting more and more interesting."
"She doesn't think she can really become the king. I think she is just a forbidden concubine raised by the Long Jiu family."
Farrelly sighed slightly.
When he was working for the eldest prince, he often came in and out of the palace and interacted with several other royal brothers and sisters. No matter in every aspect, Bi Fei is quite outstanding. She has child-like energy and is very studious. She often asks him about things outside the royal capital. Now that he is the only survivor of the Yuegui family, he can't say whether this is luck or misfortune. As long as the Longjiu family still rules Sanciya, such criticism will never disappear.
At this moment, the whispers suddenly subsided.
Without even thinking about it, a real big shot must be here.
Sure enough, the guard shouted again, "Master Wilson Longjiu, the leader of the Western Region, the Lord of the Peak, and the Blesser of the God of All Opportunities, enters!"
She even has more titles than the princess.
Wilson appeared at the lobby door wearing a red coat with gold trim. He is in his early fifties, with slightly white temples and an angular face that is calm and intimidating. Compared to when he was still unifying the western continent, Duke Long Jiu now seems to have the bearing of a king. No one in the audience stood up and continued to kneel down until he interrupted, "Okay, everyone, please stand up."
Farrellan saw that several of Wilson's children were also here, but their expressions were much more arrogant than their father's, and there was a hint of contempt in the eyes of the nobles who saluted.
"Everyone, I won't say any more polite words." The Duke stepped onto the podium in the center of the hall, turned to face the public and said, "The purpose of the Longjiu family in holding this conference is not to dominate the market. On the contrary, we are very welcome Those competitive products are on the stage, because once they lose competition, no matter how strong the company is, they will lose their vitality. So I am here to announce the good news, that is, Gaofeng Industrial Company will use a sum of funds to reward those who are in the industry. This is the first time that the product manufacturer has won the favor of many guests at the exhibition, so the bonus is not set too high, only 5,000 gold coins, and the bonus will continue to increase in the future!”
Not set too high...
Five thousand gold coins...
This number immediately aroused a raging discussion!
It's a gold coin, not a silver coin. What's the concept? It even exceeds the annual tax revenue of some towns and is enough to build factories!
"Your Excellency, I am a reporter from Gemini Newspaper. Can I ask a question?" Someone raised his hand.
Wilson nodded.
"Gaofeng Industrial is strong and competitive, so the products on display must be the most cutting-edge products. Will all this money be pocketed by your company and become a gimmick?"
"That's a good question." The Duke praised with approval. "I will release the voting rules for product nominations later. You can refer to them in detail - but I can answer this question for you now. In order to prevent this situation from happening, Fengfeng Industry Products will not participate in voting. In addition, in addition to mature products, the industry conference also accepts samples, concept designs and new materials. Even if it is just a sketch, as long as it is sophisticated enough, you will have a chance to get a share of the rewards!”
Freilan raised his eyebrows. Is this true? The threshold for manufacturing a machine is very high, but the design is much easier... Not only those big factories, but also the great scholars of the kingdom can participate, which is very attractive.
However, from another perspective, this move is equivalent to cultivating one's own competitors, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is aiding the enemy.
Duke Longjiu started his career in business. He is definitely not a simple person to achieve his current status. What does he want to get from it?
"Now, let's show the latest achievements of Gaofeng Industry."
Duke Longjiu clapped his hands, and a person in the guard team slowly walked out and came to the front of the stage. At this time, everyone saw from the slightly stiff movements of this person that it was a humanoid butler.
This kind of highest-level butler is difficult for civilians to contact, but the guests present are either rich or noble, and have long experienced its magic.
But the next second, everyone was still shocked!
Just because the other party spoke!
"Hello... My name is Weiden, I am glad to meet you all."
Even if the tone is strange, even if the grammar is upside down, it is a fact that the machine is talking!
The machine is actually talking! ?
Everyone's brains seemed to be stepped on by an elephant, and the hall was silent for a while.
The same was true for Farelan. He never thought that something piled up with gears, steel and connecting rods could actually talk to them like flesh and blood!
Isn't this another form of human! ?
"In fact, the humanoid butlers in the past had the ability to talk... but it was presented in the form of text." Duke Long Jiu smiled, "But the great scholar Du Li made an interesting discovery, that is, mechanical vibration can simulate most sounds. After eight years of research, he designed a vibration system that can be used to reproduce the human voice, and we used it on the latest generation of Gaofeng butlers."
"So, for the first exhibition sponsorship award, I will vote for this great scholar. As for the votes of the guests, it is up to you to decide - there are four exhibition halls adjacent to this lobby, and the exhibits in them are ready. Everyone, please enjoy them."
