1144 Chapter 1144: Lighting Business

"Your Excellency, do you mean the rifle that you refer to, the long-barreled gun fired from the shoulder of an individual soldier?"

Aslan asked tentatively.

Bishop Ella froze for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction.

"A very appropriate description, yes, it seems that you have been doing some research."

Aslan didn't hide it either, and nodded very generously.

"However, this rifle is too powerful and has been resisted by most professionals. I just studied it secretly out of curiosity. The appearance of the rifle will completely change the shape of the existing army. I think the risk is too great."

Aslan's words represent the attitude of most professionals in the central countries. Bishop Ella is very satisfied with Aslan's attitude.

If Aslan supported the mass production of rifles from the very beginning, he would definitely be suspicious of Bishop Ella.

"Indeed, this is just a rainy day prepared by the church. I will send you a rifle in a few days. You can see if you can imitate it, or design a brand new rifle based on it."

Bishop Ella's words made Aslan frown directly, and at the same time kept praying to God the Father.

"I really want to design a brand new rifle, but I am more afraid of becoming a sinner through the ages."

In the end Aslan rejected Bishop Ella's request.

Bishop Ella didn't care too much, and didn't continue to force Amuro, he needed a little time to convince Amuro.

When Bishop Ella went to the dance floor, his eyes gradually sank, and he sighed silently.

He is not afraid or hating anything, but feels a little guilty. At least so far, the Omniscient Church has treated him well. Although it is because of money, it has indeed given a lot of help, and is even willing to provide some protection. However, he is planning to use the Omniscient Church to create a war of faith and plunge the entire central plain into chaos.

During the ball, Parks suddenly received some news, and hurriedly bid farewell to Aslan and left, leaving his wife Helen at the ball.

As soon as Parks left, Helen secretly slipped a small note to Aslan.

Aslan glanced at it, then went to the bathroom on the second floor from the other direction.

Because the villa was prepared to hold a dance party from the beginning of the design, there are a total of six bathrooms on the first floor, which are enough for daily dance guests to use. Only in special emergencies, guests will go to the bathroom on the second floor.

Opening the bathroom door, Helen happened to be applying lipstick in front of the mirror.

Aslan put his arms around Helen's waist directly, and kicked lightly with his left foot to close the door.

"Did you call me here for something?"

After Aslan finished speaking, he began to attack Helen.

Helen also didn't push Aslan away like before, but hooked Aslan's head very cooperatively with her backhand.

The gesture was very obvious, and Aslan would not be polite.

He hugged Helen onto the sink, and soon the two entered a fighting state.

………………

On Monday, Aslan came to Beresto Lighting Company to make the final signing.

Parks and Lukaku went out to greet him, but after Aslan appeared, Parks' pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes widened subconsciously.

He saw his wife coming from another carriage.

Today's Helen is dressed in an OL uniform and gold-rimmed glasses, showing a shrewd and capable look.

Jessia has long known about Helen's arrival, because this time the contract was signed by Helen. As for what agreement Helen and Aslan reached, Jessia will not care about it, and does not want to know.

The only thing that is certain is that Amuro does not have the strength to fight against Poguin right now, so Helen was pushed out as a shield. If there is any danger to Berest Lighting Company, it will not affect Amuro.

Amuro played this hand very smoothly, and Jessia had to admire it.

Parks didn't speak the whole time, but just looked at Helen with strange eyes, but Helen didn't see him from the beginning to the end. It wasn't until Helen signed the contract that Aslan and Jessia shook hands with a smile.

After signing the contract, Aslan went out to eat with Jessia, leaving Helen and the other two shareholders in the company.

"What's going on, Helen?" Parks asked impatiently.

Helen frowned slightly, and said displeasedly: "This is the company, please call me by my title."

Lukaku knew Helen a long time ago, and his wife often invited Helen to go shopping for afternoon tea.

"Helen, general manager? What's going on? What's the company's strategic policy next?"

Lukaku asked impatiently.

Helen took out a document, which was about the production and sales plan of lanterns and gas lamps.

This is the main product produced by Berestor Lighting Company in the future. Of course, magic lamps will also be produced, but the quantity will decrease, because there are not so many magicians who specialize in the production of magic lamps at the beginning of the Amuro School of Magic.

Lukaku and Parks took a look, subconsciously widening their eyes.

Parks shook his feet a little irritably, while Lukaku looked surprised.

Pax’s irritability is because Berestor Lighting Company has offended Magister Boguin, and it will be very difficult to purchase unmodified magic lamps in the future. Fortunately, Amuro Magic Academy provides magic lamps, but the quantity is only as small as before. one-fifth of , which would mean an 80% reduction in annual income,

Among them, what scares Parkes the most is to offend the magister Boguoen. No wonder Jessia can't wait to sell the shares, even at a discounted price.

Aslan also let Helen be in charge of Beresto Lighting Company in order to avoid a head-on conflict with Boguin.

Parks is afraid that Amuro will lose to Boguin in future battles, and Bodoun will settle accounts with them.

Compared with Parks' panic and irritability, Lukaku's surprise is very simple.

From the data point of view, the brightness of horse lanterns is similar to that of candles and oil lamps, but the price is only half of the two, or even more than a third, which is more in line with the needs of the people at the bottom.

As for the gas lamp, he was even more curious, was it really as bright as in the project proposal?

If it is really that bright, it will become the trump card of Beresto Lighting Company, completely occupying the entire Chester, no, the low-end and mid-end lighting market in the entire Principality of Kiel.

Just thinking about how big the benefits are, Lukaku couldn't help but tremble.

"Can I see the product?" Lukaku asked nervously.

Helen nodded.

"Let's go together! That's why I hired a carriage to come here today."

Parks wanted to speak, but was stared back by Helen's sharp eyes.

"Family matters, the family says."

When the two came to the Bright Research Institute in Thorn Street, they saw the finished product and effect of the gas lamp, and they were both shocked and speechless.
