Panlong: Science Comes to the Magical Universe

Chapter 7 The establishment and madness of the enterprise
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, let's go in quickly. Dean Bernas should be inside!"

Charles then remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to say it, and felt a little embarrassed, so he changed the subject and pulled his father and uncle inside.

At this time, the two Seward brothers looked at each other, supported each other in a trance, and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

They didn't know what exactly happened, and the extreme tension even made their memories a little confused.

They just remembered that when they followed Charles into the house, a silver-haired old man had been waiting for a long time.

"Master Dean, I have brought my father and uncle here."

Charles stopped and spoke in a respectful tone.

"Dean Berners, hello, I'm Sayward."

After hearing his son's voice, Sayward finally came back to his senses and immediately bowed respectfully.

Are you kidding? This is a powerful person from the Holy Land. He dare not show the slightest disrespect to him.

Even after years of traveling around the country, Sayward had never been so nervous.

"We have been waiting for you for a long time, President Seward, Vice President David, please take a seat."

Bernays spoke in a gentle tone, still smiling, but he had an aura that made people admire him.

This is normal. The strong people in the Holy Land all have an aura of their own, and Bernas is no exception.

In front of Lord Hoth, he was a respectful subordinate, and in front of Master Adkins, he was an elder and a steward.

But in the outside world, he is the dean of Huosi College, the chairman of the parliament of Xuanshen Island, and the supreme ruler of the entire island.

His aura is enough to make some ordinary people feel tremendous oppression.

Seward and David were startled for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then sat down carefully, looking at Berners' face curiously.

"As expected of a Saint Domain expert, his aura is truly awe-inspiring!"

Afterwards, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

"I don't know. Dean Bernas, why are you looking for us? Is there anything you need us to do?"

After a moment's silence, Sayward cautiously asked.

"President Sayward, please take a look at this first."

Bernas still kept smiling and did not give a direct answer. Instead, he took out a piece of information from his space ring and handed it over.

"Hmm? This, this is it!"

Sayward just took a look and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.

The hall fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of turning pages.

Berners was not in a hurry either. He just sat quietly in the chair, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"Huh, Mr. Dean, can I ask why you chose me?"

Sayward took a deep breath and couldn't help but ask.

"Because we need a chamber of commerce that often travels among the major empires, and your ability, character, and reputation are all good in the major chambers of commerce."

Berners glanced at Charles and continued:
"Not only that, your heir, your son, is a doctoral student in our academy and is naturally bound to us."

Silence, a long silence. Finally, Sayward looked at his son and then gritted his teeth:

"Dean, I am willing to join Xuanshen Island and serve as the president of Xuanshen Military Industry Enterprise. In addition, I will invest all the working capital of this Chamber of Commerce into the operation of the enterprise, all 30 billion gold coins!"

"In addition, all the channels, goods, and Chamber of Commerce employees that I control will also be included."

"Okay, you have the guts. Someone will contact you about the next thing."

Bernays nodded, approving of Sayward's decision.

“A very wise decision!”

A faint voice emerged, and Huo Si's figure appeared in the room.

"Lord Huosi, you are here."

Berners immediately saluted respectfully.

"Lord Hoth?"

Seward was startled, and subconsciously pulled his brother down to his knees.

"Okay, get up. We are one family now. There is no need to do this."

Huo Si nodded slightly, indicating that this was not necessary.

"Charles, take your father and uncle out first."

Berners glanced at the two dazed people and quickly spoke to Charles.

"Yes, Lord Huosi, Dean Bernas, we will take our leave."

After Charles finished speaking, he immediately pulled the two elders out of the hall, leaving Huo Si and Berners alone.

"Sir, this Saiward is the last one. During this period, I have recruited and met with merchants from all over the country, and after selecting them, I kept 25 people."

Berners began to report.

During this period, he met with many businessmen and had a rough idea of ​​these people and the chambers of commerce behind them.

"Well, for the current scale, these should be enough."

Huo Si nodded slightly.

As the academy reached final cooperation with a large number of chambers of commerce, Xuanshen Island began to usher in a large-scale transformation. During this period, a large number of chamber of commerce controllers joined Xuanshen Island and established companies with the support of Xuanshen Island.

Various types of enterprises involve all aspects, including large-scale catering enterprises, large-scale express delivery enterprises and other enterprises that are closely related to life for ordinary people.

Externally, it includes the processing and sales of various products, some exquisite wines, sodas, fruit juices, as well as some entertainment programs for the nobility, various chess and card rooms, and electronic games.

Princes and nobles have never lacked money. Although there are some talented practitioners among them, most of them just like to enjoy themselves.

In the past, those young masters had limited entertainment options, and some even felt like they had money but nowhere to spend it. Now that they have found a channel to vent their emotions, they are naturally going crazy.

Not only that, with the establishment of a large number of enterprises, commercial circulation will be more prosperous in the future.

What follows is that more high-quality students gradually become high-quality talents in the school, continue scientific construction, and form a virtuous circle.

……

Half a year later, a large number of companies began to expand towards the kingdoms belonging to the four major empires and the three major churches.

For a moment, the entire continent began to shake, and countless people talked about it.

For a time, all kinds of luxury goods were circulated crazily among princes and nobles, and they would go to various brand chain restaurants for their meals on weekdays.

Various types of board games have become the favorites of mercenaries. As people walking between life and death, they used to only drink and enjoy themselves, but now, with more entertainment, they instantly invested all the money they worked hard to earn.

One gold coin could produce a bunch of Coca-Cola, and in some distant kingdoms, it could be sold for one hundred gold coins a bottle, leaving the CEOs of soda companies dumbfounded.

Many new alcoholic beverages are actually not complicated. As long as they have a little understanding, all parties can make them.

However, their costs are relatively high and are not sufficient to cope with the entire country.

Of course, the most profitable are still military-industrial enterprises. As the saying goes, my neighbors store food and I store guns.

The war between the four empires and the three churches has never stopped, although due to an agreement reached among the god-level powerful beings, the Sanctuary will not intervene in the battle.

But the annual war has never stopped. The number of casualties each year is no less, and the resources snatched from each other is an astronomical figure.

All countries have tacitly agreed to these things. After all, cultivating strong people requires bloodshed.

Just training in the mountains of Warcraft will not make you a truly strong man. Therefore, every year many warriors join the army and go to the battlefield for training.

Even the god-level strong ones agreed with these. Some of the god-level strong ones' disciples were geniuses who had been trained in the army.

Xuanshen Military Industry Enterprise sells some of Xuanshen Island's backward weapons to the military of various countries, as well as many mercenary groups and killer organizations at high prices, and the price is fixed without bargaining.

What? You don't want to buy it? If your enemies buy it and use it against you, it will have nothing to do with us.

These weapons are of no significance to those who are at level eight or nine.

However, on the battlefield, there are only a very small number of level eight or nine warriors, and most of the ordinary soldiers are at level one or two.

If you can't match the opponent's tone, you will be beaten.

The happiest people are the old guys in the research institute. During this period, their research funds can be described as crazy.

The funds absorbed by major enterprises are used to purchase various materials and resources.

The materials that the Academy of Sciences was reluctant to use and the experiments that it dared not to conduct in the past are now being used on a large scale.

For a time, Xuanshen Island became the most prosperous city on the continent and was known as the Pearl of the Continent.

Of course, not everyone was happy. The most miserable person was the emperor of the Lingest Empire, Orgi Lingest.

"boom!"

"What did you just say? Can you say it again?"

In the Lingest Empire, in the imperial capital of Thunder City, the emperor smashed a wine glass and looked calmly at the finance minister who was kneeling on the ground.

Everyone who knew him knew that when the emperor was really angry, he would be very calm.

"Your Majesty, at the end of this year, the taxes paid by various provinces, after statistics, are about 50% of last year's."

The Minister of Finance did not dare to say a word and answered with gritted teeth.

He also knew that the emperor was angry, but there were some things he could do nothing about.

"Asshole! How can you be the Minister of Finance?"

Ogier stood up suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

As an emperor, he killed countless ministers, not even a finance minister.

"Your Majesty, spare my life. Your Majesty, I don't want to do this either, but most of the chambers of commerce in our country have gone to Xuanshen Island, and the commercial tax has been reduced to less than 20%."

"Moreover, most of the nobles used their money to buy goods from Xuanshen Island. Many of our industries have been affected. This year's finances are really, there is nothing we can do."

The Finance Minister could only reply bluntly.

He also felt aggrieved. Although he was responsible for managing the empire's finances, he could only collect money.

He could neither spend money nor force the nobles to pay.

Too many merchants left, and the business tax was reduced, but he couldn't force the merchants to come.

A lot of the nobles' family reserves were used to buy luxury goods, and he couldn't stop them.

He really wanted to say, Your Majesty, if you have the ability, just go and collect the money yourself. What's the use of putting pressure on me? I collect money, not make it. What can I do?

Of course, he could only think about these words in his mind and dared not say them out loud.

He could only kneel quietly on the ground, admit his guilt, and then silently wait for the outcome of his punishment.
