Chapter 419: Undertaking
The dance was over, and Joshua sat in the carriage to the portal of the Demon Realm.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, do you really only need these enough?"
Mrs. Caesar was sitting just opposite to Joshua. Her eyes fell on Joshua holding two scrolls and a medal. The emblem is the coat of arms of Falossi.
"enough."
Qiao Xiu opened one of the contracts, and the contract was so long that when Qiao Xiu opened the wax stamp, the other side of the contract fell under the carriage.
The content of this part is the bargaining chip that Joshua needs to pay for the film to be shown in various theaters in Farosi.
Although Joshua proposed the concept of 'box office' to Klondo III, Klondo III expressed helplessly that he could not accurately count every ticket sold at the Fallowhi Theater.
In this era when bills were still recorded with pen and paper, it was too idealistic for Joshua to rely on the share of the 'box office'. Those theater owners could completely avoid the share by making fake accounts.
So Qiao Xiu adopted a one-time buyout system, that is, to turn the 'primary spar' recorded with the movie screen into a commodity with a clearly marked price.
This method is no different from Blu-ray CDs on Earth, but Blu-ray CDs in this world are not so cheap.
There are more than 200 theaters in the entire Faluoxi country. If Krondo III wants to show "Avatar" in every theater, he needs to buy more than 200 copies.
Qiao Xiu did not choose to settle this transaction with Faroshi's currency, but chose to use resources.
Resources include iron and ingredients, as well as various raw crystals...
"This should be the most generous time His Majesty Kelendo has ever seen." Mrs. Caesar browsed through the contract that Joshua showed her, and looked at the dense list of goods on it. Mrs. Caesar had to lament the value brought by the movie again. .
In the eyes of outsiders, what Qiao Xiu used to exchange these 'strategic resources' enough to build a small city was only a few hundred ordinary-quality primary crystals.
However, the things inscribed in the original crystals have multiplied the value of these original crystals by tens of millions of times.
"Actually, I think your king is a bit stingy." Qiao Xiu didn't think Mrs. Caesar's comments.
"Stingy...His Majesty Kelendo is willing to give you and your country more help, but you are the one who chose to refuse."
Mrs. Caesar couldn't help but sighed when she thought of this. At that time, Klondor III proposed many chips that were far more exciting than these resources, chips that no leader of any state could refuse, but Qiao Xiu But refused.
"Are you referring to sending the alchemists of Faluosi to the Demon Realm to build alchemy workshops, and to help the Demon Realm mine minerals? This is indeed an exciting bargaining chip."
Joshua recalled the "beautiful future" that Kelendo III talked about at the ball. If Faluosi really helped the Demon Realm build an alchemy workshop, then the Demon Realm would be able to get out of the predicament of the Middle Ages in a short time and officially step into the world. Industrial Revolution.
"It's a pity that I already got these chips in Nolan."
Qiao Xiu is not in a hurry. Qiao Xiu's elder sister Cecily has already sent an envoy to Nolan to study. Qiao Xiu believes that with the learning ability of that prophet, he will be able to master the so-called 'core technology' in a short time.
And these resources are just a small foundation that Qiao Xiu has laid for the devil world.
"It seems that I am too anxious."
Mrs. Caesar sighed softly after hearing Joshua's answer.
"Perhaps we should put aside the topic of interests, Mrs. Caesar." Joshua put away the contract, and then opened the interface of the magic net with a wave of his hand, "I don't know if your majesty the king is satisfied with the 'parliament' function of the text message ?"
"I think...His Majesty Kelendo should be quite...satisfied."
When Qiao Xiu asked about this matter, Mrs. Caesar had a rare helpless smile on her face.
She directly showed Joshua the interface of her magic net. In Mrs. Caesar's newly established SMS account, besides her daughter's friends, the most conspicuous one is a parliament called 'Farosi Congress' .
This council was established an hour ago, and it was regarded as a small toy that Joshua gave to King Faluosi as part of this deal.
But Kelendo III's enthusiasm for this little toy far exceeded Joshua's imagination.
‘Minister Dinelle! I order you to add all nobles who are eligible to participate in the Farosi Congress to this Magic Web Council! '
An account signed by Krondo III popped up from the 'Farosi Congress' group chat and gave orders to one of the few people in the group chat.
'Understood, Your Majesty. ’ Another account, signed by Count Dinille, was quick to respond.
'very good! What about Dias! Where is Dias now, let me see him off before he goes to the Iron Country! ’ The speed at which Krondo III sent messages was unimaginable.
In the blink of an eye, Qiao Xiu had several messages about His Majesty the King popping up in this group.
'I am...in...my...house. '
On the other hand, Minister Dias, who was asked about his whereabouts by Krondo III, responded much slower, and even the reply could not be typed out completely, which seemed a bit intermittent.
"I hope His Majesty Kelendo will not use this kind of conversation to replace the real Congress." Mrs. Caesar worriedly looked at the news that kept popping up in the text message. Just judging from the speed of Kelendo III's reply, it was enough to feel that The king threw text messages frantically.
"Why do I think it's quite possible."
Although Joshua didn't have much contact with King Klondo III, but with that king's character, it is very likely that he decided to use text messages to replace the real Congress on a whim.
Mrs. Caesar did not deny Qiao Xiu's statement. Since meeting Qiao Xiu, many important things in her life have been replaced by things created by Qiao Xiu.
Although she has chosen to accept it calmly, she still feels a little embarrassed when she thinks about it now.
At this moment, the carriage stopped slowly, and Qiao Xiu pushed open the door of the carriage.
"Please tell your majesty the king, I will prepare the exchanged resources in a week."
After leaving these words, Qiao Xiu stepped out of the carriage.
For this resource trade, Zenas's portal was specially built in a building that is relatively close to the Faluoxi Imperial Capital Market.
Some curious businessmen have already communicated with the person in charge of the management outside the portal, hoping to go to the Demon Realm to do business.
Although there were only five or six businessmen as far as the eye could see, this was definitely a good sign.
The guard quickly recognized Qiao Xiu's identity and let him directly enter the portal.
The location where the portal leads is the filming site of "Avatar". The humble tavern established by Mrs. Caesar was still open after the filming ended.
This will be the first stop for the people of Faluoxi to contact the devil world.
