And while Lei Dong and Wei Zai were wandering around the shop, Emperor Zhengyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly in the palace. ""/""/
In the past, when they heard that the sound and image formation was to be activated, the master guards in the palace who were above the realm of alchemy would usually find reasons to push each other. In the end, they had no choice but to do it. A lottery will be used to determine the candidates who will participate in the launch of the audio-visual formation.
But today, when I heard that as long as you participate in the task of activating the audio-visual formation, you can get a set of high-end scribes' robes designed by Lei Dong himself for free, as well as an authentic poetry book signed by Lei Dong, the palace The masters of the bodyguards among them immediately rushed to compete for the task of activating the audio-visual formation, as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Even some masters of the bodyguards who had followed Emperor Zhengyuan when they were young actually found Emperor Zhengyuan and told him with a grimace that their wives at home had given up their harsh words. If they could not get the genuine copy signed by Lei Dong, Book of poems, don’t let yourself into the house.
For these old friends who had been with him for hundreds of years, Emperor Zhengyuan naturally could not refuse their request. In desperation, Emperor Zhengyuan had to make a temporary decree to limit the number of people who had activated the sound and image formation. The original number of nearly a hundred has increased to one hundred and eight.
Lei Dong didn’t know that just because of an idea that came to his mind, he almost caused the master guards in the palace to fight. After walking around the store with Wei Zi for a while, he stood in front of the window on the fifth floor and observed the situation outside the store.
Looking from afar, both sides of the entire main street in the business district were lined with soldiers dressed in city guard uniforms. In the aisles of the main street, well-dressed ministers of the DPRK and China or heads of large families could be seen. They all seemed to be attending some grand event, marching slowly with their families.
Looking at the scene in front of him, even though Lei Dong had expected that the opening ceremony of his chamber of commerce would definitely be an unprecedented event, he couldn't help but be startled.
According to Lei Dong’s estimation, not counting the real big shots who have not yet arrived, there are almost thousands of dignitaries in the capital walking down the street right now.
The main street of the commercial district has now been strictly guarded by the City Guards. At this time, all the people who can enter the main street are the dignitaries of the capital with invitation letters!
When he thought of this, Lei Dong's heart began to beat faster.
Since they are guests invited to attend the opening ceremony, these dignitaries in the capital will naturally not come empty-handed. And even if the gifts they send are not expensive, when they add up to a small sum, they must be a large amount of money!
Just when Lei Dong was secretly rejoicing, a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs suddenly woke him up.
"Brother Lei, grandpa asked you to go down quickly and said he wanted to introduce some friends to you!"
As soon as Lei Dong turned his head, he saw the panting little Princess Minyu running away.
"OkayI'll go down right now."
Lei Dong knew in his heart that the friends who could be solemnly introduced by Mr. Che must be some real big shots, and he did not dare to neglect these people. Therefore, after nodding slightly, he raised his feet and walked quickly downstairs.
Outside the shop, Mr. Che and Mr. Fang were chatting and laughing with a few old friends in low voices. Suddenly, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent. Then, Mr. Che noticed that the eyes of everyone on the scene were They all looked towards the door of the store.
After following everyone’s gaze, Mr. Che couldn’t help but chuckle.
It turned out that at the door of the store, Lei Dong, wearing a pure white scribe's robe, walked out slowly with a smile on his face.
"I'm telling you, who else can cause such a big reaction at the scene except this kid!" After muttering with a chuckle, Mr. Che pulled a few old friends around him and walked quickly towards Lei Dong.
When Lei Dong was in his last life, what he was best at was dealing with people. At this moment, one of his advantages was finally fully realized. It only took a few words and no introduction from Mr. Che. Lei Dong and the business tycoons he had just met started chatting happily as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years.
Time passes slowly
As the opening time approached, more and more big shots gathered around Lei Dong.
And at this time——
With the sound of "Dang! Dang! Dang!" the three bells of the Emperor's Bell rang, the originally noisy scene suddenly became silent.
Looking at Emperor Zhengyuan and the purple-robed woman walking slowly not far away, Lei Dong was not surprised at all. He had heard Princess Minyi say before that Emperor Zhengyuan?The purple-robed women will come in person to attend the opening ceremony of the Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to Emperor Zhengyuan and the other two, Lei Dong was more interested in the carriage following them.
According to Lei Dong’s estimation, this carriage, which is made of rare metal and looks like a two-story building, contains the launch components for activating the ‘audio and image array’.
As expected, after everyone paid homage to Emperor Zhengyuan, a launcher with a simple shape, somewhat similar to a bronze mirror, was carefully carried by several palace guards and placed gently in front of the shop.
Although the shape of the transmitter of this 'sound and image array' is somewhat similar to that of a bronze mirror, its volume is unknown how many times larger than an ordinary bronze mirror. According to Lei Dong's estimation, if it were not carried by several palace guards with advanced cultivation, I am afraid that a hundred ordinary people would not be able to lift this big guy!
Perhaps because he saw that Lei Dong was very interested in the transmitter of the audio-visual formation, Mr. Che coughed lightly and began to explain it to him.
Listening to Mr. Che’s explanation, Lei Dong finally understood why every time he activated the ‘sound and image formation’, it required the cooperation of nearly a hundred masters at the alchemy realm or above.
It turns out that if you want to activate this 'sound and image array', you must inject a large amount of true energy into the energy-gathering array on the back of the transmitter. And if you want to inject a large amount of true energy into the energy-gathering array for a long time, just rely on It is definitely impossible for a small number of cultivators to do it. Therefore, usually, nearly a hundred master cultivators divide into two groups and take turns injecting their own true essence into the energy-gathering formation.
After listening to Mr. Che explain the basic principles of the transmitter, Lei Dong did not continue to ask questions, considering that the opening time was approaching soon. Instead, he walked with Mr. Che to the high platform not far away.
On the high platform, Emperor Zhengyuan was chatting softly with the purple-robed woman. After seeing the thunder, Emperor Zhengyuan turned his head and asked with a smile: "Lei Qing's family, does your ribbon-cutting have any specific meaning?"
"Your Majesty is indeed very discerning!" After smiling and flattering Emperor Zhengyuan, Lei Dong explained softly: "The reason why Weichen wanted to include ribbon-cutting when opening the business is actually mainly due to two aspects. The implication of this is. First, Wei Chen wants to enjoy the nobility of His Majesty and all the seniors; second, Wei Chen also wants to use the ribbon-cutting process to gain a prosperous fortune!"
"Haha The nobility in me and all the ministers is not so easy to get! If you want to get it, you can't do it without showing a little sincerity, right?" After laughing twice, Emperor Zhengyuan smiled and joked.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. I was just about to tell you about this!" After smiling slightly, Lei Dong winked at Princess Minyu.
Seeing this, Princess Minyu quickly took out a stack of specially made exquisite jade plaques and distributed them with a smile to the big shots on the high platform who were participating in the ribbon-cutting.
Seeing that the jade plaques had been distributed, Lei Dong smiled and explained: "Your Majesty, the jade plaques you and your seniors are holding are the first batch of VIP jade plaques issued by our Yunda Chamber of Commerce. With this VIP jade Cards, no matter at any time, you can enjoy 30% off at any store in our Yunda Chamber of Commerce!"
Speaking of this, Lei Dong smiled and glanced at Emperor Zhengyuan and the purple-robed woman, "Of course, considering the noble status of Your Majesty and the senior beside you, our Yunda Chamber of Commerce specially made two more amethyst jade plaques. With this amethyst jade token, you can enjoy the 'mysterious' treatment in any store of our Yunda Chamber of Commerce at any time!"
"Mysterious treatment? What is this mysterious treatment? Can you tell me first?" After looking at Lei Dong with a smile, Emperor Zhengyuan asked half curiously and half jokingly.
"Is this Because it involves the commercial secrets of this chamber of commerce, your Majesty, you and the senior should ask Princess Minyu alone for a while, and she will explain it to you truthfully."
Seeing what Lei Dong said, Emperor Zhengyuan could only suppress the curiosity in his heart, nodded slightly and said: "Since it involves the commercial secrets of your chamber of commerce, I will not embarrass the Lei Qing family."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for understanding the difficulties of this humble minister!" After bowing, Lei Dong took a few steps forward and personally handed over the two amethyst jade tablets in his hands to Emperor Zhengyuan and the purple-robed woman.
"Brother Lei, what kind of mysterious treatment are you talking about? Why have I never heard of you talking about it?" As soon as Lei Dong turned around and walked back to where he was, Mr. Che casually placed a magical thought to prevent the sound from being heard. Ban asked Lei Dong with a puzzled look on his face.
After smiling, Lei Dong blinked and asked, "Brother, didn't you realize that the two amethyst jade tokens I just gave away are very similar to your elder jade tokens? "
"That's right If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot! Except for the different colors?This amethyst jade token is clearly exactly the same as my Chamber of Commerce Elder Jade token! "As soon as Lei Dong finished speaking, Mr. Che suddenly realized.
"Isn't that great! Brother, you should be able to guess by now what the so-called 'mysterious treatment' is, right?" Lei Dong asked while suppressing a smile.
Normally, in large chambers of commerce, there is only one kind of jade plaque that has the same style but different color as the elder jade plaque of the chamber of commerce, and that is - the jade plaque of the elders of the chamber of commerce!
“Obviously, the amethyst jade token that Lei Dong gave to Emperor Zhengyuan and the purple-robed woman was this kind of jade token from the elder Ke Qing!
After thinking about it, Mr. Che first looked at Lei Dong with a dumb look on his face, and then he patted Lei Dong hard on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "You kid can even think of such a move? I'm really impressed. is you!
"Hey I can't help it! With the noble status of His Majesty and the purple-robed senior, I can't allow them to enjoy 30% off the treatment like those ministers, right? So, right? Well, that's all we can do!" After sighing helplessly, Lei Dong suddenly changed the topic and asked with some worry: "Based on your understanding of His Majesty, brother, do you think His Majesty will be punished because of this incident? And blame it on me?"
"Don't worry! Isn't it just that you have the name of a guest elder? It's no big deal! To be honest, my brother, as early as hundreds of years ago, His Majesty had already been in the chamber of commerce between me and Old Man Fang. Elder Keqing is famous!" Patting Lei Dong's shoulder, Mr. Che comforted him with a smile.
"After hearing what I said, I'm not too worried about Your Majesty. But, about Senior Zipao, brother, do you think she will blame me?"
Seeing Lei Dong asking about the purple-robed woman, Mr. Che couldn't help but look serious.
After a moment of silence, Mr. Che shook his head slightly and said: "With her noble status, she shouldn't blame you for this kind of situation. Moreover, even if she really doesn't want to accept the jade token from the elder Keqing, the worst is, she won't give it to the amethyst jade token again." Just return it to you, it’s nothing to lose to her anyway.”
"Brother, from what you said, I think you know the true origin of this purple-robed senior? I don't know, can you tell me a little bit about it?" After hesitating for a moment, Lei Dong asked tentatively.
"Brother" Mr. Che's expression suddenly became extremely serious, "A smart person like you should be able to guess that her identity must be astonishing! As for how big she is? Brother, I can’t tell you. At the same time, I hope you don’t ask! In short, you just need to know that if she can really become the guest elder of our chamber of commerce, it will definitely be a big deal for our chamber of commerce. Good thing!"
"Brother, don't worry! I just asked that question out of curiosity. Now after listening to your words, brother, I will never make the same mistake again!" Lei Dong said this, but In my heart, I became even more curious about the identity of the purple-robed woman.
In fact, the main reason why Lei Dong took this opportunity to give the amethyst jade plaque representing the identity of the elder Keqing to Emperor Zhengyuan and the purple-robed woman was because he felt that the backend of the Yunda Chamber of Commerce he founded was not strong enough!
If Lei Dong’s ambition is just to make some small money, he naturally doesn’t care whether the backend of the chamber of commerce is strong enough. But the crux of the problem is that from the day he wanted to establish the chamber of commerce, Lei Dong never thought about making small money! In his opinion, whether he can make his real first pot of gold depends entirely on this time! Therefore, in order to earn the first pot of gold that would allow him to start a new business, he set his sights on the purple-robed woman.
Thinking about it, if the purple-robed woman really becomes the guest elder of Yunda Chamber of Commerce, it will be like adding a thick protective umbrella to Yunda Chamber of Commerce! In this case, he doesn't have to worry about whether he can make his first pot of gold!
Perhaps it was because he didn’t want to talk more about the identity of the woman in purple robe. After chatting with Lei Dong for a few more words, Mr. Che waved his hand and removed the spiritual restriction that prevented the sound from being heard.
And at this time, the time for opening has arrived.
Boom…···
As a huge roar sounded, under the gaze of everyone present, the audio-visual array transmitter erected in front of the store suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light.
The speed of the white light is extremely fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it forms a white light curtain in mid-air.
Seeing that the light curtain had been formed, the fifty-four palace guards standing behind the launcher quickly shouted and fired their long-awaited true energy towards the energy-gathering formation behind the launcher.
With the injection of true energy one after another, the light curtain in mid-air began to expand rapidly at an extremely fast speed.
When the light curtain expanded to several thousand feet in size, as if attracted by something, a white light suddenly erupted from the four walls in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the capital.
These four white lights were extremely fast. In almost a moment, they plunged into the light curtain.
With the injection of these four white lights, the huge light curtain in mid-air first shook violently, and then, the images of everyone, including Lei Dong, suddenly appeared in the light curtain.
"Wow"
Almost at the same moment when the images of Lei Dong and others appeared in the light curtain, bursts of cheers soared to the sky in the four districts of the capital city.
The cheers continued for a long time, and even Lei Dong and others standing dozens of miles away could hear them clearly.
Seeing this, Emperor Zhengyuan gave a slight signal, and soon, three majestic bells of the Emperor's Bell came from the light curtain.
As the three bells of the Emperor's Bell rang, the cheers from the four districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest began to gradually weaken.
When the cheers completely disappeared, the ribbon-cutting ceremony finally began.
“Obviously, Emperor Zhengyuan and others had already listened to Princess Minyu’s explanation of what they needed to pay attention to when cutting the ribbon. Therefore, there were no mistakes during the entire ribbon-cutting process.
After the ribbon-cutting was completed, logically speaking, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Lei Dong should have spoken a few words as soon as the Chamber of Commerce opened. However, since there was a big shot like Emperor Zhengyuan present, Lei Dong naturally did not want to take the limelight.
So, after Emperor Zhengyuan and others finished speaking, Lei Dong just walked to the center of the high platform and began his first opening speech in this world.
Compared with the congratulatory messages from Emperor Zhengyuan and others, Lei Dong’s opening speech was much more popular.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a roar of applause erupted from the four districts in the southeast, northwest and northwest.
If it were anyone else who encountered this situation, they would probably not be able to continue talking. But Lei Dong was not like that. When he was working in sales in his previous life, what he was best at was on-site control. It was the same this time. Under the control of Lei Dong's words, the originally chaotic cheers soon turned into regular cheers.
