He was just here to attract investment, and he never expected to be affiliated with a third-level arcane mage. Even though he was an arcane mage whose life span was about to expire, his influence on the Giant of Light would still be greatly improved.

"Why, you're not welcome?" Suktara asked with a smile.

Duke took a deep breath and asked, "Sir Suktara, do you have any requests?"

"No, don't be nervous. I'm not forcing you to inherit my research. You have shown outstanding talents in other fields. It's unfair for you to tie you to me." Suktara smiled gently, "I just think.

You are very good and deserve my help."

Speaking of this, Duke felt warm in his heart.

Traveling through this world alone, Suktara is probably the only person who treats him well but does not ask for anything in return.

He looked at the other person's hair, which was so white that there was no trace of it, and made a decision in his heart: "Lord Suktara, if you don't mind, I would like to come to your mage tower in my spare time and learn alchemy knowledge from you.

”

Just learn alchemy.

He has a small skill, so it doesn't matter if he learns another knowledge.

Suktara said happily: "Do you really want to learn alchemy from me, Duke? People's energy is limited, and I don't want you to delay yourself because of this."

"It's okay, I'm full of energy and won't delay anything."

"Then we have made an agreement." Suktara said with a smile, becoming more and more amiable.

Then Suktara directly called one of his assistants: "I want to invest in the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company in the form of affiliation. You can help me handle this matter. In addition, arrange a meeting for Duke in the tower.

Set up a living yard so that he can come and live at any time."

"Okay, sir." The assistant took the order and left.

Duke waved his hand and said: "Sir Suktara, I have a place to live."

"Since you are learning alchemy with me, don't call me sir anymore. From now on, you can call me teacher, you know." Suktala said with a smile, "As my disciple, you can treat this place as your second home."

A family."

After this, Duke was extremely moved.

Feeling dizzy, I followed another assistant to the castle to choose my own small living yard and prepare for my new home.

Watching Duke leave.

A proud smile appeared on Suktara's kind face: "Young man, young man, it's really easy to deal with. You have decided to take over my class at Mage Tower... I hope you are a qualified successor, so I

Only then can I trust you and leave everything to you..."

……

At the end of August, the first financing meeting of the Giant of Light Spirit Weapon Company was held secretly in a secret box of the Shenjiao City Hotel.

Three months after the portable lamp was launched, the valuation of the giant of light has skyrocketed.

Originally, Duke held 55% of the shares, Muhans Blacksnake held 15% of the shares, the Eupels and his wife held 15% of the shares, and Vial held 15% of the shares.

The valuation at that time was approximately 5,500 gold dragons.

"If the current Giant of Light's valuation increases twenty-fold, wouldn't it be a problem?" Duke directly gave the psychological expected value.

Valuation of 110,000 gold dragons.

Suktara did not come, but she sent an assistant who had been with her for many years. It seemed that she had been given instructions. The assistant immediately responded: "Your Excellency Duke, on behalf of Lord Suktara, I agree that the valuation should be increased twenty times.

, you can raise funds based on this valuation.”

"I agree too." Joanna Bobcat, who attended in person, said nonchalantly.

She really doesn't care about money, she just values ​​Duke as a friend. With a total valuation of only 110,000, she can just show off to her father and buy the Giant of Light directly.

With these two taking the lead, the tone has been completely set.

The rest is for each company to discuss how to invest in profit-sharing shares.

Duke's attitude is also very clear: "In this round of financing, I plan to raise 110,000 gold dragons, which means the company's total valuation is 220,000 gold dragons, and everyone's shares will be reduced to half of the original. At the same time, this financing will be based on our

Full financing of new technologies."

The company rules in this world are relatively simple. After all, they are all games between arcane mages, and there are not so many complicated open and secret arrows.

Duke directly used patented technology to raise funds, and after financing, it exclusively held 77.5% of the shares. The three of Muhans were diluted to 7.5% of the shares.

"Next, I will trade 26.5% of the shares and only retain absolute control of 51% of the shares." Duke continued, "As for Muhans, Upers, and Vial, you will also use part of the transaction to complete this

A round of financing."

This financing method is the most popular in the Seven Towers Federation.

Everyone was also used to the method of trading here and cashing out there, so heated discussions soon began.

The arcane mages were drinking tea, while their subordinates were noisy and red-faced.

After the arcane mages had their fill of tea, the results of the discussion were presented to everyone. A total of five arcane mages, Suktara, Kiria Fury, Joanna Lynx, Leo Weiss, and Vikas, were confirmed to participate.

This round of financing.

Felibel and several other arcane mages failed to get financing opportunities this time, but they will be given priority to participate in the next round of financing.

In one afternoon and one evening, Giant of Light’s financing was successfully completed.

Several founders have reduced their shareholdings.

Duke reduced his holdings from 77.5% to 51% and cashed out 58,300 gold dragons; Muhans reduced his holdings from 7.5% to 5% and cashed out 5,500 gold dragons; and the Yupils reduced their holdings to 2

%, cash out 12,100 gold dragons; Vuillard reduces holdings to 3%, cash out 9,900 gold dragons.

Suktara purchased 10% of the shares, Kiriya Fury also purchased 10% of the shares, and Joanna Lynx also purchased 10% of the shares.

Leo Weiss purchased 4% of the shares and Vikas purchased 5% of the shares.

Among them, Suktara, Kilia Furious Wave, and Vikas all invested in shares in the form of affiliation, while Joanna Lynx was held by relatives on behalf of them.

Leo Weiss is also a family member, but he promised to unaffiliate from another company as soon as possible and then affiliate to Giant of Light.

"Welcome everyone, join the Giant of Light!" Duke has prepared the dinner.

Joanna had waited until she was hungry, and while eating, she said: "Duke, you have made a lot of money this time, when are you going to buy an airship?"

"I don't need an airship now, let's wait a little longer." Duke smiled.

Once, it was his dream to buy his own airship. Now the capital he has cashed out is enough for him to buy an airship, but there is no need for it.

I bought an airship, and the cost of maintenance is sky-high.

The most important thing is that it’s useless for him to buy it, and he doesn’t need to go out often. If he really buys it, it’s just a decoration.

For daily travel, just take the airship from Penrose Wizard Tower.

And now that he has become a student of Suktala, he can also use the airship in Suktala Master Tower, so there is no need to buy it himself.

After the dinner, Duke sent everyone to the door.

Leovis fell at the end and chatted with Duke: "I can't believe that you can start such a big company by yourself and come up with valuable spiritual weapon inventions. I am in vain to be a 2nd level arcane mage, I still have to do it for

A little resource going around.”

"That's because you still have the motivation to move forward, so you are willing to run around." Duke said.

"Yes, isn't it just for the illusory possibility of promotion that you are running around so unwillingly..."

Leo Weiss looks handsome and is only in his thirties or forties.

But in fact, he is over sixty years old, and it is said that he already has two grandchildren. If he works hard, he may still have a chance to be promoted to a third-level arcane mage.

By then, it will be another story.

He turned to look at Duke, with a look of envy in his eyes, and praised enthusiastically: "Young and talented, I think your future will be like Lord Erwin... Duke, work hard, I hope

You can see the scenery of the Great Ao Mage."

The 4th ring may be a height that Leovis cannot reach, but for Duke, it is just a passing scenery on the journey of life.

However, Duke still said humbly: "The future is too far away. Now I just want to take every step in a down-to-earth manner and study spiritual arcana seriously. I still remember that Mr. Leovis once said that life

There may be no solution, but there must be a solution to the spiritual mysteries, I firmly believe that."

"Haha, those are words to encourage spiritual apprentices. In fact... at least for me, spiritual arcana does not necessarily have a solution."

Leovis smiled: "A lot of arcane knowledge, even if it is put in front of me, I can't give myself a reasonable explanation...Okay, I won't tell you more, I will go back first."
p>

"Walk slowly."

Send Leo Weiss away, and this banquet will come to an end.

Duke did not return to Villa No. 17 in Beverly Manor. Instead, he went to the castle in Suktala Master Tower and moved into his new home.

After agreeing to study with Suktara, Suktara expressed her impatience, hoping that Duke could live in the castle for a long time, so that in her limited leisure time, she could teach Duke and impart alchemy knowledge anytime and anywhere.<

/p>

So Duke thought about it and simply moved out of Beverly Manor and took the butlers to live directly in the castle.
To be continued...
