Studying Science in the Alternate World

Duke spends time every day on the research on strong light hand lamps, constantly communicates with Xiaoyi, expands related technologies, and builds a patent pool moat.

Originally thought that the research and development of the portable lamp did not need to involve the structure of the spell model, and had nothing to do with the spiritual mystery.

So don't plan to waste energy.

But now that it is confirmed that even if it is just a portable lamp, it still involves the structure of the ring, which can improve spiritual mysteries, he naturally has to allocate part of his energy to the research and development of the portable lamp.

"Natural history... is not easy!"

In a full week, Duke split the technology of the glare hand lamp into two complete technical systems.

One set is the strong light wick structure technology, and the other is the wick superposition technology.

Each technology contains many branch technologies. In short, Duke has packaged all the new technologies involved.

but.

Duke still didn't go to the Bo Xue Tower to register a patent, but silently sealed up all the technology and experimental materials.

There is no other reason. Aziguli, the head of the legal department of Boxue Tower, is the director of Runwanjia Lingqi Factory.

After the patent is registered, Aziguli will definitely know about it immediately, and then Runwanjia Lingqi Factory will get the news.

If it was a few days ago, he might register immediately without thinking too much.

But just the day before, Vuillard came over and brought Duke a new message: "According to the report from the Runwanjia workshop supervisor we bought, Runwanjia is improving the Lingfeng lamp. The improved shape and structure are already very good. Approaching our portable light."

"Well, let the legal department get ready. Once Runwanjia launches its products, it will go to Boxue Tower to sue them for patent infringement."

"We have already prepared for this, but sir, Runwanjia is coming aggressively this time. According to the report from the workshop supervisor, Runwanjia is not only copying our products, but also has adjusted the assembly line at the same time and is preparing to distribute a large number of goods."

"Large distribution?" Duke raised his brows, "Are you going to confront us head-on?"

"Yes, Grayson, the general manager of Runwanjia, personally went to the workshop to emphasize the importance of work, obviously for our giant of light."

"Know the progress of Runwanjia at any time, and fight with them first." Duke didn't panic at all, and upgraded the high-light hand lamp if he couldn't beat it.

It was also because of the knowledge of Runwanjia's movements that Duke sealed up the patent of the strong light hand lamp.

When Runwanjia thought he could defeat the Giant of Light, he would directly take out the high-light hand lamp to hit the market and establish the Giant of Light's position in the field of lamps.

"However, in order to cope with the impact of Runwanjia, it is a bit difficult to rely solely on the development of the giant of light... It is time to raise funds."

He got up from the sofa chair and walked to the window with his teacup in hand.

The entire Shenjiao City is full of vitality, just like the black smoke that is still billowing like clouds in this scorching midsummer.

And now among the rows of chimneys, there are a few more chimneys erected by the Giant of Light's factory building.

"I want to contribute to the romance of the industrial age!" He walked out of his office and knocked on the door of Kylia's office.

"Your Excellency Duke." Assistant Jiss opened the door.

"I have something to do with Kylia."

"Come in, please. I'll inform Miss right now." Jiss replied quickly, and then led Duke into the inner office.

"Duke, sit down, what would you like to drink?"

"No need, I just came over from the office after drinking tea." When Jisi left, Duke didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "Run Wanjia is eyeing my giant of light, and they are going to fight a tough battle with me. So I have to prepare."

"Really, is there anything I can do to help?" Kiriya asked with a smile.

"Runwanjia made a move, I chose to take it hard, so I need money to compete for the market." Duke said in a relaxed tone, "So I am going to start a round of financing. If you are interested, you can send someone to participate in the discussion. I remember your affiliation Is the quota not full yet?"

Kylia thought for a while, and showed a gentle smile on her baby-fat face: "I'm quite interested in investing, but are you sure that the Giant of Light can defeat Runwanjia's attack? Wanjia has defeated too many opponents."

"Runwanjia is really huge, monopolizing almost all of the spiritual weapon market in Shenjiao City, and has a considerable market share in other cities."

Duke does not deny the strength of the opponent: "But in the segmented field of lamps and lanterns, the giant of light is the leader."

Kylia was not infected by Duke's self-confidence and invested blindly.

Instead, he asked seriously: "Do you really have a way to resist Runwanjia's attack? Many out-of-town spirit weapon companies want to enter Shenjiao City, but they are beaten out time and time again by Runwanjia. Even my grandfather said , Your Excellency Clarinda, you are very skilled in business."

"I hold the patent."

"This is not enough. He can pay the infringement fee, and then kill the Giant of Light at a price lower than the market cost... Your Excellency Kleinda, I have done this before, otherwise Runwanjia would not be able to represent so many spirit weapon."

"I understand." Duke nodded.

Most of the spiritual tools produced by Runwanjia are agency products, and they do not have patent rights in their hands.

But Kleinda is tough, and the foreign company is unwilling to confront Runwanjia head-on, so they simply choose Runwanjia as their agent.

Duke is not surprised by this: "But I don't think Runwanjia will succeed this time, because his products can't beat mine. As long as I have enough financial resources to support Runwanjia's offensive, I will die in the end." It's Runwanjia."

There is no basis for words.

Duke directly opened the briefcase he was carrying with him, and took out a relatively tightly wrapped portable lamp from it.

Press the switch.

Suddenly a strong beam of light shines out.

Seeing Kiriya's surprised look, Duke smiled lightly: "The portable lamp is just a basic product. I have already invented the follow-up products. With brand new technology and thicker patent pool barriers, Runwanjia will fight with me on a large scale. The battle will only hasten his downfall."

After showing the research and development sample of the strong light hand lamp, Duke quickly took the sample back, and then silently admired Kylia's beauty.

A fair lady, a gentleman loves you.

Duke has always looked at beautiful women openly, his eyes are only admiring, not evil, so he is not abrupt.

This kind of generous gaze does not make Kiriya disgusted.

"It turns out that you have prepared for it a long time ago. The new portable light is really bright." After feeling emotional, Kiriya resolutely agreed, "I don't think I should miss this good investment opportunity, and I will let Aunt Jiss replace me , leading this investment.”

"Then I wish us a successful cooperation." Duke smiled and held out his hand.

Kylia also reached out her hand and held it with Duke.

After a few simple shakes, Duke let go of his hand and stood up with a smile: "Then I won't disturb your cultivation, wait for my message and inform you to participate in the financing meeting."

"I send you."

Leaving Kylia's office, Duke was not idle, and in the next day or two, he contacted Vikas, Joanna Lynx, Leovis, Philibel and other arcane masters he knew, and with 2 Arcane mages and noble backgrounds are the main ones.

He even made a special trip to Suktara Master Tower.

"Son, it's been a long time since you came to play in my mage's tower." The white-haired and childlike Suktara said in a friendly tone.

"I haven't been able to take the time."

"It's okay, as long as you can still remember me as an old woman... You have done a lot of things recently, and you have won the Outstanding Knowledgeable Invention Award."

"Haha, it's all luck." Duke chatted with Suktara for a while.

The United Tower has always treated him with an amiable attitude towards the internal supervisor, the 3rd-ring arcane mage, and the alchemist, as if he treated his own child.

Although Duke knew very well that Suktara hoped that he could be her successor and successor.

But this attitude still warms his heart.

"This time you are here, do you want to find me something?" Suktara asked.

"There is indeed one thing. I opened a giant of light spirit tool company to produce lamps. Recently, I have had some friction with Runwanjia, so I am planning to raise funds. If you have investment ideas here, you can send someone to the financing meeting to discuss."

"Financing, is it affiliated?"

"You can rely on it, or you can simply find someone to hold it on your behalf." Duke doesn't want to expand to other cities for the time being. He just wants to fight head-on with Runwanjia in Shenjiao City, so he doesn't need much Arcane Master attached.

Of course, if there is an arcanist who is willing to join him, he will naturally not refuse.

Suktara smiled: "It's just right, I recently decided to withdraw from the Hippidil Spirit Mine Company, and there is a vacancy in the affiliated quota, so I will be affiliated with your giant of light."

"Um?"

Duke was pleasantly surprised.

He was just here to solicit investment, and he never thought of getting the support of an arcane mage with a third ring. Even though he is an arcan mage whose lifespan is about to expire, his influence on the giant of light will still be greatly improved.

"Why, you are not welcome?" Suktara asked with a smile.

Duke took a deep breath and asked, "Master Suktara, do you have any request?"

"No, don't be nervous. I don't force you to inherit my research. You have shown outstanding talents in other fields. It is not fair to you to tie you here." Suktara smiled gently, "I just think You are very good and worthy of my help."

Speaking of this, Duke felt warm in his heart.

Traveling through this world alone, Suktara is probably the only one who treats him well without asking for anything in return.

He looked at the other party's hair that was so white that there was no variegated color, and made a decision in his heart: "Lord Suktara, if you don't mind, I would like to come to your mage tower in my spare time and learn alchemy knowledge from you. "

Just learning alchemy.

He has Xiaoyi in his body, so it doesn't matter if he learns one more knowledge.

Suktara said happily, "Do you really want to learn alchemy from me, Duke, human energy is limited, and I don't want you to delay yourself because of it."

"It's okay, I'm full of energy and won't delay anything."

"Then we will make an agreement like this." Suktara said with a smile, and the whole person became more and more amiable.

Then Suktara directly called one of his assistants: "I want to invest in the Giant of Light's spiritual weapon company, and invest in the form of affiliation. You can help me handle this matter. In addition, arrange a meeting for Duke in the tower." Set up a living yard, so that he can come and live at any time."

"Okay, my lord." The assistant led the way.

Duke waved his hand and said, "Master Suktarah, I have a place to live."

"Since you are learning alchemy with me, don't call me my lord anymore, you will call me teacher in the future, you know." Suktara said with a smile, "As my disciple, you can take this place as your second place." home."

After this set, Duke was so moved that he didn't want to.

Feeling dizzy, he followed another assistant to choose his small living yard in the castle and prepare for his new home.

Watching the back of Duke leaving.

A smug smile appeared on Suktara's kind face: "Young man, young man, it's really easy to deal with, I'm in the class of the mage tower, you're sure to take over... I hope you are a qualified successor, so I Only then can I leave everything to you with confidence..."

...

At the end of August, the first financing meeting of Giant of Light Spirit Tool Company was held secretly in the secret box of Shenjiao City Hotel.

It has been three months since the portable lamp was launched, and the valuation of the Giant of Light has skyrocketed.

Originally Duke held 55% of the shares, Muhans Black Snake held 15% of the shares, the Upils couple held 15% of the shares, and Vuillard held 15% of the shares.

The valuation at that time was about 5500 Jinlong.

"It's not a problem to double the valuation of the Giant of Light by twenty times, right?" Duke directly gave his psychological expectation.

The valuation of 110,000 Golden Dragons.

Suktara did not come, but she sent an assistant who has been with her for many years, and she seemed to have been ordered. The assistant immediately responded: "Your Excellency Duke, on behalf of Lord Suktara, I agree that the valuation has been increased by twenty times. , can be financed according to this valuation.”

"I also agree." Joanna Lynx, who attended in person, said nonchalantly.

She really doesn't care about money, she just values ​​Duke as a friend, with a total valuation of just 110,000, she can just play with her father and buy the Giant of Light directly.

With these two leading the way, the tone was completely set.

The rest is for each family to discuss how to invest in profit-sharing shares.

Duke's attitude is also very clear: "In this round of financing, I plan to raise 110,000 Golden Dragons, which means the company's total valuation is 220,000 Golden Dragons, and everyone's shares will be reduced to half of the original. At the same time, this financing is based on my Discretionary financing of new technologies.”

The company rules in this world are relatively simple. After all, they are all games between arcane masters, and there are not so many complicated open and hidden arrows.

Duke directly financed with patented technology and monopolized 77.5% of the shares after financing, while the three of Muhans were diluted to 7.5% of the shares.

"Next, I will trade 26.5% of the shares, and only retain the absolute control of 51% of the shares." Duke continued, "As for Muhans, Upils, and Vuillard, you will also take part of the transaction to complete this round of financing."

This financing method is the most popular in the Seven Towers Federation.

Everyone is also accustomed to the way of trading here and cashing out there, so heated discussions soon started.

The arcane masters were drinking tea, while the subordinates were arguing red-faced.

After the arcane masters drank their tea, the results of the discussion were presented to everyone. A total of five arcane masters, Suktara, Kylia Nutao, Joanna Lynx, Leo Weiss, and Vikas, have confirmed to participate in this round of financing.

Philibel and other arcane masters did not get the financing opportunity this time, but they will be given priority to participate in the next round of financing.

In an afternoon and evening, the Giant of Light's financing was successfully completed.

Several founders have reduced their holdings.

Duke reduced its holdings from 77.5% to 51%, cashing out 58,300 Golden Dragons; Muhans reduced its holdings from 7.5% to 5%, cashing out 5,500 Golden Dragons; the Upils couple reduced their holdings to 2 %, cash out 12,100 gold dragons; Vuillard reduced his holdings to 3%, and cashed out 9,900 gold dragons.

Suktarah bought 10% of the shares, Kiria Rage also bought 10% of the shares, and Joanna Lynx also bought 10% of the shares.

Leovis bought 4% and Vikas 5%.

Among them, Suktara, Kylia Nutao, and Vikas all held shares in the form of affiliation, while Joanna Lynx was held by relatives.

Leo Weisi is also a family member, but he promises to remove the affiliation from another company as soon as possible, and then affiliate to the Giant of Light.

"Welcome everyone, join the Giant of Light!" Duke had already prepared the dinner party.

Joanna had already waited until she was hungry, and said while eating: "Duke, you made a lot of money this time, when will you buy an airship?"

"I don't need the airship right now, just wait." Duke laughed.

In the past, buying his own airship was a dream in his heart, but now he has enough capital to buy an airship, but it is not necessary.

After buying an airship, the cost of maintenance is sky-high.

The most important thing is that it's useless for him to buy it, and he doesn't need to go out often. It's just a decoration after he buys it.

For daily travel, just rub the airship in the Penrose Master Tower.

And now that he has become a student of Suktara, the airship of the Suktara Mage Tower can also be used, and there is no need to buy it by himself.

After the dinner, Duke sent everyone to the door.

Leo Weiss was at the end, and chatted with Duke: "I can't imagine that you can start such a big company by yourself, and you can also come up with enough valuable spiritual artifact inventions. I am in vain as a 2-ring arcanist. A little resource running around."

"That's because you still have the motivation to move forward, so you are willing to travel around." Duke said.

"Yeah, running around so unwillingly, isn't it just for the illusory possibility of promotion..."

Leovis was handsome and only about thirty or forty years old.

But in fact, he is over sixty years old, and it is said that his grandson already has two children. If he works hard, he may still have a chance to be promoted to a third-ring arcane mage.

At that time, it will be another scene.

He turned to look at Duke, with a look of envy in his eyes, and praised generously: "Young and talented, I think your future will be like Lord Erwin...Duke, work hard, I hope You can see the landscape of the great arcanist."

The 4th ring may be a height that Leo Weiss cannot reach, but for Duke, it is just a passing scenery on the journey of life.

However, Duke still said humbly: "The future is too far away. I just want to take every step steadily and seriously study spiritual mysteries. I still remember Your Excellency Leo Weiss once said that life Maybe there is no solution, but there must be a solution to the spiritual mysteries, I deeply believe it."

"Haha, that's what encourages spiritual apprentices. In fact... at least for me, spiritual mysteries don't necessarily have a solution."

Leo Weisi smiled: "A lot of knowledge about arcana, even if I put it in front of my eyes, I can't give myself a reasonable explanation...Okay, I won't tell you more, I'll go back first."

"Go slowly."

Sending off Leo Weiss, the banquet came to an end.

However, Duke did not return to the No. 17 Villa in Beverly Manor, but went to the castle of Suktara Master Tower and lived in his new home.

After agreeing to study with Suktara, Suktara expressed her impatience, hoping that Duke could live in the castle for a long time, so that she could teach Duke and impart alchemy knowledge anytime and anywhere in limited leisure time.

So Duke thought about it, and simply moved out of Beverly Manor, brought the butlers and lived directly in the castle.

There are multiple habitable towers in the castle.

Suktara lives in Tower 1, and Duke is placed in Tower 2 next to him. The entire tower is five stories high, all of which belong to Duke.

It has to be said that Suktara's desire for a successor is too strong, and Duke has only followed to learn, and he has already enjoyed the treatment of a powerful heir.

"It's just a bit far from the Penrose Master's Tower." There is a spiritual ladder inside the tower, and Duke took the spiritual ladder to the top floor.

The top floor is his living room.

The Penrose Master Tower is in the west of the city, and the Suktara Master Tower is in the south of the city. The distance between the two Master Towers is more than 30 kilometers.

Of course, it only takes about ten minutes to go back and forth by flying a shuttle.

"This place is really nice, sir." Mu Lali followed upstairs, looking around every corner of the room cheerfully, "The water pipe of the spiritual spring leads directly into the room, and the concentration of spiritual energy is not at all thinner than that of Beverly Manor, and there are many others outside the balcony. Lingzhi."

"In a new environment, don't forget to practice."

"Got it, sir..." Mu Lali replied in a long voice, then turned her head in a funny way, stuck out her tongue behind her back, she really didn't have much perseverance in cultivation.

Butler Morris came over after a while: "Master, Mr. Sully, the butler, is here."

"Ask him to come here." Duke was inspecting the ant pupa that Xiaohong had transformed into. After so long, Xiaohong was about to complete the transformation.

Butler Sully, the steward of the entire castle, is over seventy years old.

"Your Excellency Duke, good evening. Are you still used to living here?" Butler Su Li was a little staggering in his movements, but he had a very elegant demeanor, and his words were correct, with the demeanor of an aristocratic gentleman.

"Very good," Duke replied.

"I noticed that there are very few service personnel around you, so I ask you if you agree with me to arrange a group of servants for you to take care of your daily life."

"Uh... don't bother me, Mr. Sully, I've been used to taking care of myself since I was a child, so I don't need servants to take care of me."

"As you wish." Steward Su Li nodded, and then said, "But you must add some servants for cleaning and washing clothes. The old lady told me to serve you like the little master of the castle. I think it's necessary."

"Thank you, teacher, for your love." Duke was moved, so he no longer declined, "In that case, Mr. Sully, you can watch the arrangements."

Butler Su Li laughed: "I have worked in this castle all my life, and it is my mission to take good care of you."

Wait until Duke finishes his shower.

Then I saw the big housekeeper Su Li, bringing more than 20 male and female servants, standing in line in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for Duke to be received.

"Do you need so many people?" Duke was stunned.

There is a new level of understanding of the quality of life of arcanists. Although the Seven Towers Federation has gradually abolished the aristocratic system, what has been abolished is only the legal name. In fact, arcanists are still nobles without canonization.

Not only those arcane masters with fiefdoms and titles are nobles, but arcane masters without fiefdoms and titles are also nobles.

"In your capacity, the service of so many servants is necessary." Butler Su Li replied seriously.

"All right."

Duke didn't refuse any more, but ordered his two housekeepers: "Steward Morris and Steward Mirena, you are responsible for managing these servants."

The Morriss replied, "Yes, sir."

After Butler Sully left, the Morris couple quickly arranged the work of the servants, and then went upstairs to find Duke.

"master."

"how?"

"I asked Sivir, Samantha and others, they don't want to stay and work in the castle, I think it's better to let them go back to Beverly Manor and take care of the house." Morris said, not everyone likes to live in the castle. in the castle.

Duke nodded upon hearing the words: "Look at the arrangement."

He is not interested in these mundane affairs, after all, he is alone, so he doesn't have to worry about filling his stomach every day.

It made no difference to him whether he lived in Beverly Manor or in Suktarah Castle.

Just don't delay your own research on spiritual mysteries.

"Now that the Giant of Light has completed financing, it's time for a decisive battle... What about Clarinda, the third-ring arcane mage, the product is the king!" He called out, "Fit body training, chick!"

"Where is this?" Chick was a little confused, "Isn't it in Beverly Manor?"

"New home, I will live here for a long time, come on, don't worry about where to live, cultivation is important." Duke directly stretched out his index finger and stuffed it into the chicken's mouth.

The next moment, the chick involuntarily bit Duke's finger, which turned into a puddle of green liquid and quickly merged into Duke's body.

The elf form has reappeared.
