Studying Science in the Alternate World

"Your Excellency Chabick, if you don't do it for me, I will ask to see Lord Erwin, and I will complain to Lord Erwin!"

Duke said loudly at the door of the office of the head of the Bo Xue Tower's company department.

Let everyone in the corridor hear it.

"Your Excellency Duke!" Chabick looked helpless, "It's useless for you to make noise here. Regarding the infringement compensation of Runwanjia, we are further verifying the statistics with Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory. When the statistics are completed, we will naturally urge them Pay as soon as possible.”

"I don't agree with your work attitude. You are covering up Runwanjia. You know that the Giant of Light is in business competition with Runwanjia, but you are doing nothing to benefit Runwanjia. Very serious malfeasance!"

As Duke said, he turned and walked a step away from the door: "I'm going to see Mr. Erwin, and ask Mr. Chief Director to uphold justice for me."

Chabick, who is also a level 1 arcanist, patted his forehead helplessly: "Your Excellency Duke, I have made it very clear, if you really want to see Lord Erwin, then please go ahead, by the way Come on, you need to make an appointment to see Lord Erwin."

"Then I'll go to Master Azigul."

"To see Master Azigul, you need to make an appointment. In addition, Master Azigul has ordered that she does not want to see you."

"Why?" Duke said in disbelief, "I haven't seen her yet!"

"I don't know, anyway, Master Azigul has issued a notice that no one in the Erudite Tower is allowed to bring you into her office floor."

"This is discrimination!"

Duke was shivering coldly.

Obviously he was the victim of the infringement case. As a result, Azigul, who was in charge of the legal department, not only did not comfort the victim, but even did not allow the victim to see her.

"Your Excellency Chabick, you must speak up for me. Master Aziguli discriminates against me. I think she has tricks and made improper profits in the case of Runwanjia's infringement of the Giant of Light!" Duke said righteously. Said, "I hope you can report and expose this illegal behavior to Lord Erwin!"

Chabick rolled his eyes a few times in a row: "I said Duke, everyone is a ring 1 arcane mage, why should you make things difficult for me. What's wrong with you, why don't you go to Master Azigul, I'm really already here The law is enforced impartially, and all processes are carried out according to the procedures!"

Duke chuckled: "Isn't it that I can't see Mrs. Azigul?"

"Then I can't help it!"

"You have nothing to do and neither can I. Runwanjia has made it clear that it wants to kill my company. Can I not stand up? Master Azigul is a director and shareholder of Runwanjia. I think she is involved in this matter." There is a dishonorable act, so I have to make a fuss, let her retreat in spite of the difficulties!"

Anyway, infighting among arcane mages is forbidden, and personal safety is absolutely protected by the Seven Towers Federation. Duke doesn't mind jumping a little bit by himself.

Besides, there are people behind him.

Suktara and Penrose are both his teachers and mentors, and they are all three-ring arcane masters, so they are not afraid of the embarrassment of Kleinda and Azigul.

"But you're not messing with her, you're messing with me!" Chabick said speechlessly.

Duke walked into the office, closed the door by the way, and said with a smile: "Calm down, I will be the host at night, and I will treat you to a drink at the Shenjiao City Hotel. I will be a frequent visitor to the Boxue Tower in the future. There is still a chance for us to deal with each other." There are many."

"Ah, are you still making trouble?"

"Do business!"

"you sure?"

"Of course." Duke narrowed his eyes and smiled, he was going to apply for the patent application for the glare hand lamp in front of Erwin.

The main feature is a surprise, and a sensational effect.

Now, while the business war is in full swing, they come here to make trouble in person, all in order to paralyze Kleinda and Aziguli.

Then, the strong light hand lamp was promoted and listed, and Runwanjia's aura lamp was directly crushed into slag.

"Let's go, Mr. Chabick." Duke felt that the fire was almost over, so he left the office of the head of the company department.

However, he didn't leave the Boxue Tower, but took Mu Lali and strolled around the crowded floors again.

If you have a chance, go to the offices of the arcane masters who work in the Boxue Tower, chat with them about the lawsuit between the Giant of Light and the Runwan family, and scold them for not losing money after losing the lawsuit. This incident will ruin Runwanjia's reputation.

"Sir, it's getting dark soon, and the Learning Tower will be off work soon, are we still operating here?" Mu Lali asked quietly.

"What's the matter, do you think it's a bit embarrassing for me to do this to your husband?"

"No, sir, you are doing justice."

"It's good to have this awareness, Xiao Lili, remember that evil does not overpower good, as long as we uphold justice, we will be invincible." Duke said carelessly, "You see, many arcanists are higher in level than me. , but I went to find them, besides avoiding them, who was rude to me?"

"It seems to be."

"It's because they feel ashamed in their hearts and know that some arcane masters have acted dishonestly in this matter, so they will tolerate me politely."

After turning around, Duke continued: "Of course, this speed has to be controlled well, otherwise it will really piss off a few high-level arcane masters, and they can't eat it."

Arcane mages are not all good-tempered gentlemen. If Duke really wants to piss them off, he will definitely not kill them, but it is very possible to reward them with a few big competitions.

In terms of fighting to the death, Duke is invincible within the 1st ring, can find a chance to kill the 2nd ring, and may be weak when facing the 3rd ring.

But the Seven Towers Federation attaches great importance to the safety of arcanists.

Duke didn't dare to draw his gun at the Arcane Master easily, even in the wild and uninhabited land, he didn't dare to draw his gun at the Arcane Master. Once a shot is fired, no matter how it is concealed, it will leave a mark on the spiritual level, and then be detected by the high arcanist with extraordinary means.

According to the official records of the Seven Towers Federation, after no registered arcane mage was killed, the murderer could not be found out. Even if the murderer was an arcane teacher of the 7th ring, he would be found out and executed.

The self-mutilation between arcanists, the result of the trial is life for life.

As for the killing of ordinary people by arcane masters, even monks from the Three Seas like Lingzhi envoys and great knights would hardly commit the crime to death, at most they would be severely punished.

Mage Ruoao is really heinous, first of all he will be expelled from the Faling Pagoda and lose the protection of the Federation.

At that time, if they were killed, they would be killed, or they would leave the federal territory and hide.

For example, Baines, whom Duke met in the cabin in the woods, was expelled from the Faling Tower because of his research on forbidden experiments. In order to avoid the federal punishment and the pursuit of the enemy, he had to go to the forest to live in seclusion until he died of old age in the wilderness.

"Sir, you have a good grasp of people's hearts." Mu Lali exclaimed inexplicably.

"Average, the third in the Federation." Duke rubbed the little assistant's shoulder-length hair, "Let's go, we also leave work when others are off work."

See Duke and his party leave.

A staff member of Erudite Pagoda hurriedly got on the spiritual ladder, went straight to the office floor of Azigul, knocked on the door and entered the office.

"My lord, Your Excellency Duke has left."

"Huh." Aziguli breathed a sigh of relief on her pretty face, and then greeted with gritted teeth, "This country bumpkin is finally gone, how can there be such a shameless person in the world!"

She, Aziguli, is a majestic 3-ring arcane mage, the head of the legal department of the Bo Xue Pagoda, and she manages the commercial disputes in the entire Heijiaohe land.

Don't lose face!

In the end, Duke blocked her in the tower, spreading everywhere that she colluded with Clarinda, used the Runwan family to suppress dissidents, bullied the market, and owed money to Lao Lai...

Although this is indeed the case, this is the usual style of arcanists.

All walks of life are basically controlled by arcanists, and there is no room for ordinary people to participate in the competition. All resources are in the hands of arcanists.

Runwanjia, like any company, is a tool for the arcanist to make money.

But for the sake of social harmony, the unsightly eating must be covered up.

This was suddenly exposed, and after all, it was a shame on the face.

"My lord, next time your Excellency Duke comes again, you should send someone to drive him away, otherwise he will continue to be corrupt here... It is not a way to ruin the reputation of the Runwan family." The secretary offered advice to Aziguli, "Do you want to?" Instruct the Disciplinary Department to not allow idlers to walk around in the tower next time?"

"What's the point of deceiving your ears and stealing your bell?" Azigul stood up and took two anxious steps in the office.

Then he looked at his secretary: "Tell me, Duke's move, is it because the giant of light can't bear it, or is it deliberately to disgust me?"

"This... my lord, I really can't say, but with the financial resources of the Runwan family, this business competition will definitely be won. Moreover, Lord Clarinda has greeted the surrounding cities, and the magic lamp will definitely beat the portable lamp , occupy a dominant position in the market.”

"Is that enough?" Azigul shook her head, "I think it's hard to say, there are people behind Duke who support him, and that Suktala already regards Duke as his successor, she just supports some financial resources , the giants of light can survive."

After a pause, Aziguli sighed and said, "Delaying the infringement payment can only delay Runwanjia's defeat. There is no winner in this commercial competition, alas!"

She felt that Clarinda was already suffering from a demonic disease, and she insisted on playing a game with a slim chance of winning.

In the past years, when the spirit weapon company from another city entered Shenjiao City, Runwanjia could fight at home and get the unanimous support of the local arcane masters, fight with the opponent, and then win.

But this time, it was internal strife.

The other party is not a pure 1st-ring arcane mage, but a high-profile genius arcane mage, who has found a backer early on.

"In the final analysis, Runwanjia failed to hold the patent!"

Azigul could see very clearly that even if the Giant of Light was defeated, it would be harmless to Duke, and he could still live comfortably on the patent fees.

So Duke can fight to the end, and losing is nothing more than losing the shell of a giant of light.

"But can Runwanjia afford to lose? The company is huge, but there are very few real patents, most of which are agency rights. And agency rights are the most unreliable. When the time comes, we will face new competition, etc. The Giant of Light has a firm foothold and will definitely participate in the proxy competition!"

At that time.

The giant of light can gradually erode the market of Runwanjia.

"My lord, the Giant of Light only has a patent for a portable lamp. How could Runwanjia be afraid of competing with the Giant of Light's agency rights?"

"There is only one now, but with Duke, who knows how many there will be in the future." Azigul shook his head lightly, "There is no need for more, just a few more patents like portable lights, and the giant of light will be able to stand firmly , cannot be knocked down."

Speaking of this, Aziguli suddenly sneered: "This country bumpkin just joined the dining table in Shenjiao City, and it seems that he has found the right target and wants to replace Runwanjia!"

The basic market of Shenjiao City is so big.

If you can't open up new markets, you can only rob other people's markets. Now it seems that Runwanjia has become the target of Duke's robbing.

Aziguli knocked on the table: "Ambition is really big!"

"grown ups……"

"I have decided to go crazy with Kleinda and tell the Runwan family to fully cooperate with the arrangement and stop the Giant of Light!"

"yes."

...

Before you know it, it's New Year's Eve.

The Storm Calendar turned over in 4413, entering 4414, and Duke was about to turn eighteen.

"Cheers, teacher!"

Duke sent all the service staff back to reunite with his family, including Mu Lali and Vivienne, while he stayed in the Suktala Mage Tower.

Just in time to spend the holidays with the teacher.

"Cheers, Duke." Suktara smiled broadly.

In the past, she spent New Year's Eve with members of the Su clan. Now that the mage tower and the castle have been rectified, the members of the Su clan have been dismantled and most of them have been driven away. Only a small number of them still live in the castle.

The lively atmosphere of the new year's festival is definitely not as good as in previous years, but this year she feels happy and satisfied from the bottom of her heart.

Put down your glass.

Suktara said with a smile: "Child, today's New Year's Day, there will be no class after dinner, you can take a walk in the castle with me."

"Okay, teacher."

After eating, the old and the young took a walk on the castle wall.

The city wall was so clean that there was no trace of dust, but outside the city wall was covered with snow, and it only snowed heavily yesterday.

Both of them are arcane masters, and their spiritual energy gathers in their bodies, so they don't feel the slightest cold in the cold afternoon. As for the followers and guards in the castle, they were far away and did not dare to disturb them.

"It's another new year, and the teacher is one year older."

"But your spirit is still young."

"You child, your mouth is so sweet, but the teacher is already one hundred and sixty-one years old, and the fog of breaking through the mystery of spirituality has faded away, and I don't know how many years are left to live." Suktala is already able to understand death. Face it calmly, "No matter what, I will try my best to teach you in the next few years."

"I will not disappoint your expectations, teacher."

"I didn't expect too much. Speaking of which, I've been talking about ring copying materials. Maybe it's not a trace of magic in my heart."

Suktala reminisced about the past for a while, and said quietly: "Do you know where this trace of my demonic obstacle came from?"

"Please tell the teacher." Duke said.

"I had a short marriage, only ten years, but these ten years have fully affected my life." Suktara looked at the snow-covered forest in the distance, "Vincent, it is my Husband, he is an excellent 1st ring arcanist."

At that time, Suktara had just been promoted to Arcane Master.

With the help of the elders, they married Vincent. After marriage, both of them were busy exploring spiritual mysteries, but the sweetness was never lost.

"Vincent chose to become an alchemist, and I also chose alchemy. We studied in the same mage tower."

"Actually, the teacher doesn't like to delve into spiritual mysteries, hehe, at that time I just wanted to have a child soon."

"Vincent always said, don't worry, having a baby will delay your practice too much."

"Seeing that I was angry later, I coaxed me to say, let's choose a direction of alchemy, and treat it as our first child. When it grows up, we will have a second child, a real child." Su Ke Tara smiled lightly, "I really believed him."

"Teacher, did you choose the ring replication material?" Duke asked.

"No, it's the ring projection auxiliary material, the auxiliary material needed when the projection ring comes down, that is our first child and the only child." Suktara said, with a maternal brilliance flashing across his face , "Now, the child has grown up and grown into ring copy material."

"Um, that's how it is!"

It dawned on Duke that Suktara regarded the research subject as his and her husband's children. At the beginning, I studied the ring projection auxiliary materials. After the research, I continued to study the ring replication materials, step by step, and raised this direction like a child.

At the same time, Duke also suddenly wondered why Suktara showed no mercy to the blood-related members of the Su clan and drove them away immediately.

Because those members of the Su clan are not her relatives at all.

In her eyes, relatives are probably only research subjects that are treated like children.

Seeming to understand what Duke was thinking, Suktara didn't deny anything, but said calmly: "This is a trace of demonic obstacles in the teacher's heart. It may be difficult for people to understand, but it is also left to me by Vincent. the only one."

"Teacher, I can understand and understand your persistence."

"You are such a good boy." Suktara touched Duke's face with a smile, "Seeing you, I seem to see Vincent at that time. He may not be as talented as you, but he and You are as confident as you are, and feel that nothing is difficult for you.”

Ten years of husband and wife life, but spent more than a hundred years to remember.

Duke couldn't understand such a deep love, but it didn't hinder his respect for Suktara, and he walked slowly along the city wall with the old man.

With this walk, one month has passed.

By February, Giant of Light's second round of financing also started.

Duke gave up the bottom line of holding 51% of the shares, reduced his own shares to 30%, and successfully raised 400,000 Jinlong.

Of course, in order to firmly control the Giant of Light, he signed equity distribution agreements with many shareholders. Taking most of the resolution rights of the shares into his own, so that he can still control the Giant of Light-in fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't have this power, after all, the patents are in his hands.

Receiving rights just in case.

The Arcane Masters invest in the Giant of Light because they value the future development of Duke himself, so they don't want the right to share resolutions, they only invest and don't speak.

After having the money, Duke provided new suggestions for the Light Giant Spirit Tool Company.

"Runwanjia is coming aggressively, especially the cooperation with the local arcane masters, which shows signs of monopolizing the market. I think that Runwanjia can't compete with Runwanjia in terms of high-level management, so we will choose to sink, directly to the spiritual weapon shop."

"Sir, what do you mean?" Vuillard took a notebook and took notes carefully.

"Invest in spirit tool stores, buy shares in every spirit tool store directly with money, let them become franchisees of the Giant of Light, and sign an exclusive agreement, only allowing the sale of lamps from the Giant of Light!" Duke didn't know if this move would work. , in short, it's done.

He continued: "In addition, the agency rights for ordinary lamps will be signed as soon as possible, and then the production line will be opened to compete with Runwanjia."

"This...will the stall be too big?" Vuillard was a little worried.

"What are you afraid of, the strong light hand lamp technology can not only be applied to portable lights, but any lamp can be applied to the strong light hand lamp technology. When we get the agency right of lamps and lanterns, we will be able to develop more varieties based on these bright lights."

For example, street lights on the street, lights at home, signal lights on airships, and lights on cars can all develop strong light series.

"I understand!" After understanding Duke's thoughts, Vuillard was determined and excited, "I'll make arrangements now, let the employees work overtime, and let the sales team not stop!"

"Don't forget to arrange overtime pay and travel expenses. You can't just let the horse run and not let the horse graze."

"yes!"

The 400,000 Golden Dragon capital that was raised allowed the Giant of Light to expand wildly again, and the factory area was expanded again and again.

The sales team and the legal team are recruiting people every day.

If people are recruited, they will be sent to various market towns in foreign cities to invest in every spirit weapon store-the golden dragon given for nothing is just to sign an exclusive agreement, and most spirit weapon stores are willing. Comparable to the golden dragon in hand.

By the time the giant of light had finished its work in February, it had already invested in more than 500 spirit weapon stores in cities and market towns in the eight major regions.

In one fell swoop, the sales situation was reversed, and the sales volume of the lamps of the Giant of Light defeated Runwanjia.

One takes the high-level route and the other takes the grassroots route.

Facts have proved that the grassroots route is more suitable. After all, lamps such as portable lamps are basically purchased by ordinary people.

But in fact, there is another product of the Giant of Light that sells well, and that is the built-in portable light.

Many rich and noble families value the small and exquisite built-in portable lights, and even many arcane masters have bought built-in portable lights.

In order to catch up with the Giant of Light, Runwanjia is not to be outdone, and uses frequent moves to compete for the market.

In the entire Fengxi area, newspapers from all over the world have never stopped advertisements and news about Runwanjia and the Giant of Light.

The brand awareness of the two is almost becoming a household name.

From March to April.

The Giant of Light's 400,000 capital is about to bottom out, and this lighting war lasted for half a year. Even the Runwanjia spiritual weapon manufacturer has a big business, and it is also exhausting to meet the battle, and even raised funds once loan.

Borrowed a lot of cash from various Arcane Master shareholders.

"If we continue to fight, we still won't be able to tell the winner." A group of shareholders of Arcane Masters of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory visited the tower of Master Kleinda, "It's better to shake hands and make peace, Runwanjia and Giant of Light are both Wouldn't it be wonderful for my big company in Shenjiao City to coexist peacefully."

This year, not only did they not get any dividends from Runwanjia, they even borrowed a lot of money from Runwanjia, which made the shareholders of Arcane Master unable to sit still.

We invest in Runwanjia for money and resources.

I don't want to sit back and watch my family benefit, and squander my own capital, resulting in damage to my interests.

"Yes, Your Excellency Clarinda, there is an old man Suktara at Duke, who is willing to spend money to accompany him crazy, why don't we take a step back." The arcanist said.

The financing of the Giant of Light has not been leaked yet because it has signed a confidentiality contract.

Everyone didn't know that behind the giant of light, Duke had used the strong light hand lamp technology as a bait to unite a group of shareholders of arcanists.

I just thought that Suktara was being foolish, and spent more than a hundred years of savings to accompany Duke crazy. Of course, even with the support of a 3-ring arcane mage, it is enough for the giant of light to gain a firm foothold, and most arcan mages are unwilling to head-on.

There are many profitable industries, and there is no need to die in one market.

Clarinda intends to continue the business war, and Azigul is also willing to support him, but in the face of the menacing shareholders of the Arcane Master, he finally compromised.

There is no other reason, the business war has reached this day, and there is no hope of victory.

Moreover, the patent infringement fee owed to Duke can no longer find excuses to delay it, otherwise it will be too embarrassing.

Before the compromise, Kleinda argued to herself: "I still insist on continuing to compete. It is impossible for Suktara to sell the mage tower to support Duke's giant of light! Maybe if we work harder, he will not support it." Come down and make peace with us instead of us going to make peace with him."

"It's the same for anyone who talks to anyone. Everyone looks up and sees down. There is no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors." A shareholder of the Arcane Master retorted.

Seeing this, Clarinda sat slumped on a chair, and waved her hands weakly: "Okay, listen to you, find someone to make peace, the lighting market is half divided, and the management of the company will be handed over to a professional team in the future, and I will take care of it." No more questions."

I wanted to go crazy and fight to the end, but my teammates were not strong enough to vote early.

However, after sending someone over to contact the Giant of Light, they soon received a reply from the Giant of Light and Duke: "The lighting market is all handed over to the Giant of Light, and the other spiritual weapon markets are temporarily split in half."

Clarinda suddenly became furious: "Arrogance!"

Then convened all the shareholders of the Arcane Master, and said coldly at the meeting: "Now it's not that I don't want to make peace, it's the giant of light, and that young man, who is advancing in size! Therefore, if he wants a business war, we will continue the business war and fight Until he is convinced!"

Before he could unify the opinions of the shareholders.

Then he saw the secretary hastily knocked on the door, entered the conference room, rushed to his side in two or three steps, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Your Excellency Duke has applied for a new patent from Lord Erwin, called 'High Light Technology', And jointly launched the first generation of strong light series lamps with the Giant of Light.”

"Bright light technology, what is that? His hand lamp can be brighter than ours?" Clarinda said with her eyes widened.

The secretary swallowed in horror, and said stammeringly: "I went to see it myself, saw the sample of the strong light hand lamp, it was bright, it was really too bright!"
