I really just want to be a big lord

Chapter 94 The Purpose of Keos

If you want to talk about what has been the most popular in the aristocratic circle of the Holy Blessed Alliance in the past 20 years, it is undoubtedly the "ghost".

The so-called "magic shadow" is a magic technology that records and plays light and shadow.

Because of the birth of this technology, giant magic screens have become standard equipment in theaters in major cities.

At the same time, in order to produce more content that can be shown with "Magic Shadow", many stories that were originally performed in the form of stage plays have all been transformed into "Magic Shadow" and put on the screen.

However, at the beginning, what was played on the magic screen was the direct replay of the stage play, so it was just a fresh look. After a long time, more content outside the scene would naturally be needed. This is also this kind of "magic shadow" Where form is stronger than stage play.

Because of the nobles' enthusiasm for the "Magic Shadow", a team specializing in filming the content of the "Magic Shadow" appeared soon, and nobles from all walks of life rushed to participate in it, and a large number of extremely popular stage artists also joined in.

"Magic Shadow" is becoming more and more popular among the nobles, and the lords of all walks of life have also invested a lot of magic coupons in the development of content and technology.

In the original timeline, Qian Cang Lixiao was a very rare explosion artist. When "Magic Shadow" was the most popular, she was occasionally invited by big directors to participate in filming and be an explosion director, but she refused.

From Lixiao's point of view in the previous life, explosion is an instant art, and only in the same space where the beautiful "buds" bloom with powerful lethality, including various fire-type, thunder-type and even wind-type magic powers, can one appreciate this kind of explosion. The only way to be artistic.

What kind of bullshit "ghost", the explosion it shows is just a fake of the explosion light and shadow made by magic, it is completely different from the real explosion, it is not worth mentioning!
Therefore, the unpopular and unpopular "explosion artist" Miss Qian Cang Lixiao can only happily play explosions by herself, and misses the opportunity to become popular and earn a lot of magic coupons.

Of course, because she was obsessed with explosions and practiced all kinds of magic that can create explosions, she also had a different starting point from other nobles after that incident happened.

But in this life, she needs to practice magic, but she also needs to be a director.

"Magic Shadow" will definitely be the biggest trend in the next ten years. It is one aspect to make money, and more importantly, it will bring her the status of a top-tier artist, which will bring a lot of convenience.

At this time, Qing Cang Lixiao was on the top floor of a building in the core business district of the inner city, walking in front of the small doors less than two meters wide, looking for something.

This building has four floors, and the lower three floors are spacious and bright stores. The goods and services sold are also favored by nobles and big lords in the inner city, and they belong to merchants who are not short of money.

As for the merchants on the fourth floor, most of them had novel ideas and made some samples of magic props for display.

They hope that through this kind of display, they will be favored by the big lords who have great resources, buy their inventions, or directly inject capital to allow them to continue to develop, or directly open stores and factories, and promote and sell them.

Naturally, these people will deliberately cater to the preferences of the nobles, so the small shops on the top floor, most of the magic devices and inventions are related to various art projects.

For example, you can directly copy the watercolor of the corresponding color, such as the drawing paper that can be modified without trace within 5 minutes after painting, such as small props that can help to calibrate the pitch of musical instruments, such as the new magic amplifier, which can be directly installed on various Musical instruments help to amplify sound, such as more labor-saving magic carving machines, such as brushes that can automatically change hair and replenish ink...

Qian Cang Lixiao wandered around the fourth floor for a while, and finally found her target.

At the door of a small shop in a corner, she saw a small square box on the counter, and immediately walked over excitedly, ready to pick up the box.

But before she did, one hand reached out from the counter, picked up the box, and stuffed it into the pocket of the other hand.

Qian Cang Lixiao was startled, and found that there were three people in the small shop, and each of them was packing things with a big bag.

Could it be that he couldn't hold on and was ready to leave?Strange, it's too early to withdraw now. According to history, they were caught by a big lord here two years later?

Although this small box is actually the size of two palms, it is a miniature "magic shadow playback device", which can play a piece of light, shadow and sound content within 10 minutes, but compared to the giant magic screen in the theater. The image that is close to the real picture, this small box can only display black and white images.

For the sake of cost and being able to be small enough, this small box has made a lot of streamlined designs for the magic big screen, cutting everything that can be cut, and even the sound quality has been greatly sacrificed.

In fact, the big magic screen is miniaturized now, and many big lords' own factories and studios are doing it. The positioning is--the big screen in the homes of nobles.

This kind of positioning is naturally to restore the effect of the big screen in the theater as much as possible, and even on this basis, there are some other functions for private use scenarios.

In Lixiao's original historical timeline, at the beginning, everyone was more optimistic about the private magic shadow playback device with a huge screen, multiple functions, and high cost.

But unexpectedly, a few years later, the personal magic shadow playback device that really became popular was this small, black and white "magic shadow projection box".

Although the unit price was not high, the volume of sales was huge, which turned over a few down-and-out nobles who made the projection box, and later one of them even applied for the title of baron.

Lixiao knew about their experiences because it was a friend of the great lord she knew who first took a fancy to their "Magic Shadow Screening Box" and gave them the first investment in magic coupons.

That friend also relied on this investment to obtain extremely rich returns.

According to what that friend said, he should have taken a fancy to the "Magic Shadow Projection Box" here two years after the current time of Qing Cang Dawn, and at that time, the three down-and-out nobles , has been sticking to this small shop on the fourth floor for three years.

"That small box, can you show me?" Qian Cang Lixiao said to the young nobleman who had just put away the small box. She wanted to make sure whether the box she saw was the "magic box" popular in later generations. Movie Box".

"I'm sorry, we..." The young nobleman originally wanted to refuse, but when he looked up and saw the dawn, he couldn't help changing his attitude. He took out the box he had just put away from the bag in his left hand, and handed it over: "This beautiful lady, have you seen our 'Shadow Box' before?"

Is it really called "Shadow Box"?
Qian Cang Lixiao took the box, inspected it, and said: "I heard from my friend that your item was mentioned, and I think it's very interesting, so I'll drop by to have a look when I come here today."

Seeing her skillfully opening the Shadow Box, playing the preset demo content, and adjusting the sound and brightness of the screen, the young noble could not help being a little surprised. I've done it—most of the time, the nobles who saw their Shadow Box lost interest after seeing the black and white picture, put it down and left.

"Where are you going to collect your things? Isn't it here?" After playing with it for a while, Qian Cang Lixiao confirmed that this box was the "Magic Shadow Projection Box" she saw in later generations, although the appearance and some functions were not sold in later generations. The finished product is somewhat different, but the basic structure is the same, and it is on the top floor, and three young and down-and-out nobles are watching, so they should be right.

"Yeah, we don't rent the shop here anymore."

"Oh? Then where are you going, this box, don't you plan to continue making it?" Qian Cang Lixiao said, "I'm quite interested in your stuff, I want to vote a magic ticket for you to build your own Studio, and then go to promote this thing, and may open a store downstairs in the future.”

Hearing this, the young nobleman was a little surprised, and looked back at the two companions who also stopped tidying up at this time and came over.

"Sorry, this..."

"Oh, my surname is Qian Cang."

"Miss Qiancang, thank you for your love for our 'Shadow Box', but we have already found a lord to invest in, so it's a pity..." The person who spoke was a young nobleman with a big beard, but obviously not very old, From the attitudes and expressions of the other two when he spoke, it can be seen that he has the highest status among the three.

Qian Cang Lixiao also judged from the iconic beard that this person was the result of the income he obtained from this "Magic Shadow Projection Box" and his own super management ability. From having nothing, to accumulating huge assets, territories, and contracts The servant finally passed the application and became the Baron's Vidic Tevos.

This Baron Vitage, not only the "Magic Shadow Projection Box", but also many best-selling magic devices and magic props, this person is also one of the important reasons why she wants to invest in them.

"I'm willing to issue 10 magic coupons to open an exclusive studio for you. The three of you... Are there three of you in total? Each of you can own [-]% of the shares. If necessary in the future, I will also I can invest in more magic coupons to open factories for you." Qian Cang Lixiao said.

These words made the three young people slightly startled, and they looked at each other for a moment.

Qian Cang Lixiao also knew that she was acting in a bit of a hurry. According to her original plan, to invest in the "Magic Shadow Box", she also had to proceed step by step and talk about it step by step, so that she could get better results at a lower price. conditions of cooperation.

But I didn't expect that someone would get there first!

They have found an investment and are about to leave. The original history has changed! ?
Now she can only offer a relatively high quotation directly, hoping that they will recruit people first before they officially sign the contract.After all, according to her understanding, even if there are lords and nobles who invest in them, there is a high probability that it is just for fun, and the price may not be too high.

After all, it is impossible for other people to know that this thing will be a big hit in the future like she is.

"May I ask, Ms. Qiancang, why are you so interested in our 'Shadow Box'?" asked the bearded Vidic.

"Because... I think it is very delicately made, and many people will definitely like it." Qian Cang Lixiao couldn't think of too many advantages to praise for a while, so she could only say casually.

"I'm sorry, the conditions you gave are very good, but this matter... there is a first come, first served, we have already agreed to others first." Vidic said.

Qian Cang Lixiao keenly caught the change in his attitude, knowing that he would ask that sentence just now, it must be that they have not signed a formal contract with the nobleman who invested first, she should still have a chance now, but after that answer, it seemed that Vitic made a decision.

"May I ask the nobleman who invested... what is his identity? I do not have a title now, but I am the daughter of Earl Ziyuan, and I have a good relationship with Earl Fetting and Earl Parker, and I promote it among the nobles. resources, you don’t have to worry about it.”

In fact, most of the time, Qian Cang Lixiao is not very competitive, and it can even be said that she is more afraid of trouble. Even if she suffers a small loss in many things, she can just muddle along, especially in her previous life, where the influence Before the big event of the entire Holy Blessed Alliance happened, she was basically in a bad state, and she didn't want to care about anything other than studying her "explosion art".

But now, perhaps because of her identity as a reborn person, she is inexplicably obsessed with this "commercial project" that she used the "prophet" to fancy. Fight for it.

Vidic shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Cang, it's not convenient for us to disclose the identity of the lord who invested."

The young nobleman who had given the Shadow Box to Li Xiao said with a smile, "After a while, you should know."

Qian Cang Lixiao gritted her teeth secretly, wanting to increase the conditions for them, but hesitated for a while, and gave up.

She knew that the conditions just now were already very high, and if the opening was higher, it would easily arouse suspicion from them and the lord who had already invested, causing extra problems.

She could only comfort herself that the investment lord was just on a whim. After a period of time, after the cooperation broke down, Vidic and the others would return to the fourth floor, just like Guan Jianshen, returning to the original River of Destiny.

When he was about to go downstairs, Qing Cang Dawn, feeling a little frustrated, suddenly discovered that there were quite a few people packing things like Vidic and the others on the fourth floor. Almost a quarter of the four-storey pavement.

Dawn suddenly had an idea:
Could it be that someone is collecting these magical products in batches?
But she immediately denied it herself, probably not, what's the use of collecting these things, unless she knows which things will be successful in the future and which ones will be sold well.

On the first floor, Qian Cang Dawn thought for a while, and walked into a high-end clothing custom shop. This shop was frequented by Christina. She wanted to ask the Countess for help, so she planned to give her a gift and customize a pair of high-quality stockings— —Anyway, there is her customized data in this store.

But as soon as she entered the store, she was attracted by the exhibition hall on the side.

The showroom was different from the custom-made hall in the store. There were rows of leg models, which looked quite dense, and those stockings were all solid colors, basically without too many patterns or designs.

The tall waitress who was about the same height as Qing Cang Lixiao followed her gaze and said with a smile, "Oh, those are new products we launched, and the sales have been very good recently."

Qian Cang Lixiao wondered: "Many noble ladies and wives like this simple design?"

The maid smiled and said: "Of course not, these are not suitable for a noble lord lady like you. What you should look at is the custom-made clothes here, those are bought by the lords for their maids or the leaders of the industry. .”

Only then did Qian Cang Lixiao realize that the waitresses in the store who usually wear trousers are now also wearing this kind of pure color silk stockings.

Qian Cang Lixiao couldn't help frowning, it wasn't that she hated this kind of stockings, but that she had a vague premonition, because of her rebirth, it seemed to have triggered a series of chain reactions, more and more strange things that shouldn't have appeared element was born.

……

On the fourth floor, Vidic and his two companions were still packing up the items in the small shop.

The young nobleman who gave the Shadow Box to Li Xiao couldn't help asking: "Vitić, the qualifications of Miss Qian Cang just now are really good, and she is the daughter of the count, and she knows so many counts. In terms of promotion, it shouldn’t be worse than Baron Keos. I remember that you didn’t confirm with Baron Keos before, we should still have room for negotiation..."

Vidic stopped what he was doing and looked at his companions: "Baron Keos knows what we are doing, although I don't know why Miss Qian Cang values ​​our Shadow Box so much, but she cares about it. There is obviously no clear idea for future development.”

He paused for a moment, looked past his companions, and looked at the sky outside the huge French window, and said, "My hunch is that in the hands of Baron Keos, the Shadow Box can exert its greatest value."

Four days ago, a nobleman who was about their age approached them and wanted to invest in them. He gave them 500 magic coupons as "gift money" and took away a sample of the "Magic Shadow Box".

Two days ago, they were taken out of Yulang City, went to Beishan Manor, and met the investor, Baron Kaios Li.

In the warehouse of Baron Keos, there are not only samples of their "Magic Shadow Box", but also almost the largest private magic shadow projection devices that are under development and sold on the market.

Compared with those gorgeous and powerful projection devices, their "Shadow Box" is like garbage, simple, small, and inconspicuous.

But Baron Keos told them that their magical device is the future.
