Ark's Journey to the Demon God

It was difficult for Olafur to judge everything about Shen Muke, but he also had a vague guess——

These two people will bring unexpected surprises to the Shivaash family.

"Mr. Olafur, my companions and I came from the north to Kjerag. We want to discuss some business with the locals in Kjerag."

As soon as he heard about the business, Olafur sat up straight. He knew that the important point was coming.

"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Agaritu wants to discuss? Kjerag's products are scarce, so I'm afraid it won't be enough to satisfy you," Olafur said.

"Mr. Olafur is being humble. Before coming, my companions and I also did some research... Your family's territory should be the most fertile and rich in Kjelag, right?"

This is not a compliment. The Shivaash family's territory is indeed the richest territory in Kjerag. It includes valleys and mining areas, and also occupies mountains.

You must know that the territories of the other two families are all forests, plains, lakes and streams. The products that can be sold at high prices are basically various wild animals and various medicinal herbs and mushrooms. Their wealth is far inferior to that of the Shivaash family.

To put it more intuitively, haven’t you seen that the Bronta family comes to the territory of the Shivaash family to buy tools?

"As far as I know, there are many minerals and farmland in your family's territory?"

Olafur nodded and said, "That's true."

"So, does your family need some better and faster technologies in the process of mining and farming?"

Olafur's pupils suddenly narrowed and his eyes became sharp. He now knew what surprise the person in front of him would bring to him.

Shen Muke took out a set of drawings, which he drew in half a night based on [Hanpa's industrial technology].

Put it on the table and slowly push it towards Olafur:

"If Mr. Olafur is interested, you can look through it."

Olafur stretched out his hand, opened the drawings, and looked through them one by one. He looked at them very carefully and asked two questions from time to time.

Seeing Olafur's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Shen Muke nodded, he made the right bet.

This was the first step in his plan with Nian, the sausage tactic.

In view of the closed and ignorant thinking of the Xierag people, Shen Muke and Nian reached a consensus that quick success and instant benefit will not work.

The Sherag people have lived in a peaceful and self-sufficient environment for hundreds of years. They have never seen any new technologies and do not understand what industrial production is. If they make changes rashly, they are likely to face the same dilemma that Silver Gray faced in the original plot—— People don't understand.

The Kjerag people will think: I can farm without using a seeder and use a plow; I can travel without taking a train and using a pack animal; I can mine without using a minecart and a pickaxe.

The Kjerag people have not seen the benefits of new technologies, so they do not understand or support them. Instead, they oppose new technologies for various weird reasons.

For example, you can't build a railway because it will disturb Jeragond...

Therefore, the sausage tactic came into being. Shen Muke and Nian extended the front line for about one to two years. During this period, starting from daily life, first let the Sherag people feel the benefits brought by technology. Benefits and then promote them.Piece after piece like sausage, cut away the prejudice and ignorance of the Kjerag people bit by bit until it is completely removed.

The reason why Shen Muke chose to start with the Shivaash family was mainly based on practical considerations - not everyone can understand professional things like blueprints, and good technology also requires someone who can recognize heroes with a keen eye. Discover] it, and in Kjerag, the only people with the ability to [discover] are the Shivaash family.

In the original plot, two generations of the Shivaash family went to Victoria to study. Only such people understand the importance of technology.This kind of professional thing would not be understood by Brantao and Perroche, who have lived in Kjerag for their entire lives.

Olafur read all the drawings, then closed it, calmed down, and said:

"Mr. Agaritu, the Shivaash family is very grateful for your sincerity, but we don't know what price we need to pay to get this."

How can these treasures on paper be brought to reality? "

"I don't know, what technology does Mr. Olafur want here?"

Olafur smiled helplessly and said: "It may be too greedy to say this, but if possible, the Shivaash family hopes to get all the technology here."

Opportunities are for those who are prepared.

This is a sentence Olafur heard when he was studying abroad in Victoria when he was young, and he deeply believed it.

Later, he took over the family and made the family business prosperous. Now the Shivaash family has become the richest and most confident among the three councils, all because he can always seize those hidden opportunities!

And now, this guest from afar brought such a big surprise, Olafur felt that not seizing the opportunity would be a disgrace to Yeragonde's favor.

"Okay." Shen Muke nodded. He had no intention of hiding anything, "but the Shivaash family must ensure that all technologies can only be used within the family and are strictly prohibited from spreading to outsiders."

"Of course." Olafur agreed, even if Shen Muke didn't say it, he would do it.

"In addition, as a reward for my technology, I will take one-tenth of all the products produced by the Shivaash family using my technology."

The lion speaks up!

An absolute lion with a big mouth!

It is almost impossible for Shen Muke to accept this condition in other countries.

No work, no effort, just relying on technical drawings to sell one-tenth of the products, and this is still a buyout system. If you agree to his conditions, it means that all future products will be given to him ten percent. One, until new technologies emerge.What is the difference between such conditions and open grabs?

Shen Muke saw Olafur's hesitation, and then added: "As a technical support, my companions and I can help the Shivaash family manufacture the first batch of technical machinery, and teach workers how to operate and repair it."

hiss--

Olafur looked at Shen Muke, and he realized that the young man in front of him was very good at grasping people's psychology. He first used technical drawings to impress himself, and then used the lion's big mouth method to make him hesitate, and then took advantage of his side to sway. Adding weights at regular intervals...Olafur realized that this opportunity was not easy to grasp.

"Mr. Agaritu, did you feel comfortable staying at my house last night?"

Ok?

Shen Muke was stunned. Is Olafur trying to play the emotional card?

Following his words, Shen Muke replied: "Very good, very good. Mr. Chester's service is very attentive, but your family's food is really monotonous..."

Olafur immediately seized the opportunity and interrupted:

"So you see, Xierag's property is not as rich as you imagined. Mr. Agaritu, this one-tenth condition is still too heavy."

……

Shen Muke blinked, seeming a little embarrassed:

"Mr. Olafur, I am not unkind, but the cost is really too high. If I give in too much, I will lose money myself... Well, I can accept this condition and reduce it to 5.00% to thank you for your hospitality."

It dropped by half at once, which made Olafur quite satisfied.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Shen Muke continued: "As a price for the discount, I have one more condition."

"Please speak."

"Based on the principle of good faith, once I sell my technology to you, I will never sell it to anyone else. This is my promise."

"That's what I want too."

"However, I am a [technology businessman], so I will not stop at your family... I mean, if another company in Xierag wants to buy other technologies in my hands, then I will also sell them. On this condition, you That should be understandable, right?”

"Do you have other skills?!" Olafur was shocked. He felt that he still underestimated the "affluence" of the young man in front of him.

Shen Muke nodded, [Hanpa's industrial technology] is an entire industrial system, ranging from large machinery production to product finishing. What was given to Olafur only included Source Stone power generation and mining and farming.

Olafur smiled bitterly. It seemed that this treasure was not something that his family could swallow, and he could not keep it all.

Then it is even more important to seize the opportunity in front of you.

Olafur said: "What other technologies do you have? Are there any new technologies about railway construction and Originium trains?"

There are Originium trains and railways in Kjerag, but it is an old line with rusty old trains. It runs slowly and often causes accidents. Olafur has long wanted to change it.

Originium train?

Shen Muke looked at the head of the Shivaash family in front of him. In the impression, in the original plot, the couple died in a train accident, right?

So this person is really destined to train!

"Yes." Shen Muke replied.

Olafur immediately said: "Please add this item to our deal."

"Okay, but I want seven percent of the product."

"...You really know how to do business."

……

After Shen Muke left Olafur's study, Cilic Edwys, the patriarch of the Edwys family, walked into the room.

"Olafur, do you have a problem with me?"

The Edwise family is a vassal of the Shivaash family, but the heads of the two families have a deep friendship, and they usually refer to each other by their first names.

"Cilic, are you here?"

Olafur motioned him to sit down and then took out the stack of technical drawings—

—

"Look at these."

Cilic looked through it for a while, his eyes shining with Li Boli's unique brilliance.

Olafur told him the contents of the transaction.

"You did the right thing!" Cilic affirmed, "This is a good opportunity. The Shivaash family needs this. Not to mention seven percent, even seventeen or twenty-seven, we must hold it firmly in our hands. !”

"Cilic, you are right, but this is not what I want to discuss with you..."

Cilic was stunned. He didn't understand what his best friend meant.

"I mean -" Olafur leaned down and whispered in Cilic's ear: "Do you think this is all weird?"

eccentric?

Of course weird!

Kjerag has not had visitors for decades or hundreds of years, so the two "guests from the snow realm" who suddenly "fell from the sky" were already very abnormal.

What's even more abnormal is that these two people actually brought such epoch-making and systematic new technology to Kjerag.

What is this for?

Is there a charity organization on Terra?

Have you started to help weak countries?

Who would believe such a coincidence!

"But, they are [guests of the snow realm]." Cilic reminded.

"Yes, and that's why I chose to believe them."

The Holy Lady's approval made Olafur let down part of his guard, but he still couldn't completely trust Shen Muke.

"In this way, we will continue as usual. We don't need to do anything else. We only need to send some followers to take care of their daily lives."

Olafur made the decision that since the Holy Lady and Manzhuyuan recognized it, he could not be too cautious.

"That's it." Cilic nodded, then picked up the drawing and walked out: "Now that the transaction has been completed, let's turn the paper into wealth and power as soon as possible!"

Chapter 8 Reaction

During this time, the Brantau family and the Perrochi family discovered that there was something abnormal about the Shivaash family.

It was obviously the sowing season, but Olafur invested a large amount of manpower in a newly built factory next to a lake area, leaving less than one-third of the manpower to sow seeds in the cultivated land.

The two major families don't care what mysterious and novel things Olafur comes up with, but if they don't send more people into the valley to cultivate, the planting season will be over.

This is not a good thing. You must know that the Shivaash family's fields provide almost all of Kjerag's food. If his family's food production decreases, the other two families will starve. And most importantly, the three major families have Enough food reserves can support it, but ordinary people like Kjerag are different. They might starve to death.

For this reason, Patriarch Perroche also accused Olafur in front of the great elders at the three-tribe council, accusing him of hoarding goods in order to raise the price of food.

However, to everyone's surprise, Olafur slowly made a promise that this year's food would not be reduced, and the food production would only be more than last year. If his family could not meet that standard, he was willing to use the Shivaash family's food. Grains are stored in warehouses to fill the gaps.

"We trust the Shivaash family, but we also hope that Olafur will not do anything risky." The great elder ended the argument, and the other two families had nothing to say.

However, a month later, when the door of the factory building by the lake opened and the ferocious machinery came into view, everyone knew what Olafur was doing.

An automatic seeder equipped with a high-energy stone engine.

The foreign guest named Nian took charge of the production, and it took a month to complete all the details.

Nian also interestingly put a big graffiti on the machine - Honglu No. [-].

In fact, if this machine was manufactured by himself, it would only take one night to complete it with the drawings. However, Shen Muke promised that not only would he manufacture it, but he would also teach Kjelag's workers how to operate and repair it step by step. , so it was delayed for a month.

The seeder caught everyone's attention as soon as it was put into use. Olafur's output [the same as last year] was simply modest. In previous years, it would take a large number of people a month to complete the sowing task. With this machine, only It took three days to complete.

The other two families were so angry that their teeth itched as they watched Olafur pass this test in high spirits.

Seeing the achievements of the Shivaash family is more resentful than the failure of one's own children. I heard that the leader of the Perrochi family had locked up the eldest son who had caused trouble in the past and grounded him in the house for half a month.

However, all this is not over yet. The factory building by the lake has not been demolished. Instead, Olafur has mobilized more manpower to invest in it.

Then three months later, the Kjerag people discovered that Olafur had begun to renovate the railway!
