Chapter 337 Unbelievable Price
If the first day of the Ice and Fire Islands radio only met the entertainment needs of ordinary people, then the radio that started the next morning was unexpectedly kicked off with "Baijia Forum", which made the audience who came here stunned and couldn't help but have the urge to give thirty-two praises in a row.
For a whole morning, except for listening to Miranda interjecting and singing a few passages of "You from the Stars", the entire period was booked by "Hundred Schools of the Forum". Zhu Instein had obviously recorded several episodes of the program, from the recipe of the Giant Pot to the method of making the alchemy crucible, from the method of making the alchemy crucible to the special effects of the catalyst, and finally a question of alchemy common sense came three hundred questions, which made the audience almost drowned in the ocean of knowledge...
This is not the end. When it was still unsatisfied with Shining Man, before the audience could finish their notes, the giant teeth also appeared shiny. This guy took the secret book he had found from the Storm Swordsman not long ago and memorized the sword blade Storm's cultivation technique from beginning to end, so that all the soldiers and mercenaries on the scene were red.
Then, after finally waiting for Giant Teeth to finish reading the practice techniques, it was Miranda's turn to attend class. Of course, don't expect this guy to teach knowledge such as combat alchemy magic. In fact, based on his own rich experience, he talked about common ways to gain the hearts of women... Well, it's very strange that at this time, the crazy record of the crazy applause was several times more than before.
In this way, by twelve o'clock noon, the entire street was already crowded so that even the trees were covered with people. Alchemists, soldiers, and mercenaries who heard the news rushed from all directions of Jinhe Island, making the already crowded street even more crowded and chaotic. Not to mention finding a place to sit down and listen slowly, you can stand on the ground with one foot as a high treatment.
After finally waiting for half an hour to rest at noon, the unyielding crowd spread a little. The nobles and merchants with sore backs squeezed out of the crowd, and suddenly they found that they were sweating and messy clothes. Several noble ladies were even more tearful. God knew which bastard was just now, and they actually sneaked their thighs while the crowd was surging.
"I've had enough, I've had enough." Mr. McKenn, president of the Chamber of Commerce of King River Island, flushed while wiping his sweat. "Damn, why do we squeeze around with these ordinary people? We should think of a way to build a radio station in the wealthy area and prohibit those ordinary people from entering the wealthy area to listen."
That is, the nobles around him agreed with Mr. McCann's suggestion, and some people directly suggested that maybe we could go to Earl Nantull, who is said to have a minority share in the radio station. If he could support our proposal, then things would be much easier.
Speaking of Count Nantull, Count Nantull magically appears!
I don't know where the corner came out, and the Count's clothes were neat and happy. He was not affected by the crowd at all. He even held a glass of red wine and greeted everyone with a smile: "Ah, gentlemen. Have you listened to the radio too? Isn't that very surprising to the lecture of the Alchemist Pig Instein?"
"Uh..." Look at his poor demeanor like a refugee. Then look at the Earl of Nantull, who was still in a state of demeanor, a large group of noble merchants couldn't help but be speechless, "Wait, Count, have you listened to the radio in the morning? But why didn't we see you, and look at your appearance, it seems that you were not affected at all?"
"Of course, of course I listened, and I listened happily while enjoying the steak." Earl Nantull waved his hand happily and seemed to take a sip of red wine casually. "In fact, I didn't come here at all. I was sitting on my own sofa and listening to the radio."
Their own family? The nobles and merchants looked at each other and immediately noticed the word sensitively, etc. That is to say, Earl Nantull could listen to the same program as us without going out at all. It was unreasonable, no matter how unreasonable, why do we have to crowd here, but this guy can drink red wine and eat steak at home?
"Well, I just got that thing." Earl Nantull smiled even more happily, but coughed a few times, "Well, as a generous nobleman, I am happy to share it with you. Maybe you would be willing to visit me and listen to the afternoon program while having lunch?"
Do you want to beat him? The noble merchants looked at each other and came to the conclusion in a tacit way, and then rushed up like a swarm. Don't get me wrong. Of course, they couldn't really beat Count Nantull, but squeezed into the luxury carriage together. In less than twenty minutes, they arrived at the Count's villa at lightning.
In fact, before I opened the villa gate, I could clearly hear the radio sounds coming from inside. Angelina, who had been resting for a morning, was discussing the serious question of whether Baron Mills was the biological child of Duke Xuesai: "Yes, everyone can find that Duke Xuesai is only 1.2 meters tall, while Baron Mills is 1.75 meters tall. We interviewed several genetic experts on this, and several experts agreed..."
Sure enough, it can be heard? A large group of noble businessmen were immediately excited and immediately seized the soft sofa and sat down to listen to gossip. Lin Taiping looked at them speechlessly, unable to help but reminded the President McCann with sympathy: "What, Mr. McCann, if I were you, I would stand up from that sofa now..."
This reminder came too late. President McKenn, who was myopic, just sat down, was kicked away by the angry "sofa". However, except for his tragic experience, the other nobles were so happy that they burst into tears. Thank God, we finally didn't have to squeeze around with the civilians, we finally didn't have to blow the cold wind on the street, we could finally listen to the radio happily while drinking wine in a comfortable and warm room.
All of this changes came from the black metal box on the round table in the living room. With the sizzling electromagnetic current, Angelina's voice was coming from the black metal box, just like the one that came from the crystal ball of the electromagnetic tower before: "Yes, according to the views of several experts, we believe that Baron Mills is probably not the biological child of Duke Xueshe. As for whose child he is, this is said that a senior servant in the Duke's mansion disappeared in the early years..."
Well, gossip is certainly very loving, but this black metal box that can spread gossip is obviously more attractive to everyone. A large group of nobles and merchants have strange faces, staring at the black metal box that is still making noises. After a long time, I finally couldn't help but stutter: "This, this thing, what is this thing?"
"Radio." Lin Taiping answered leisurely while drinking tea, "Its principle is exactly the same as that of an electromagnetic tower. You can understand it as a small version of an electromagnetic tower. Of course, it is easier to carry and move. To be honest, Pig Instein spent a lot of time and finally studied it."
Who cares about how this thing was developed? A large group of noble merchants rolled their eyes. What they care more about is obviously the purpose of this radio. Thinking about it with their knees, you know that as long as you have this more portable radio, who needs to get up early to grab a seat around the radio station, and who still needs to blow the cold wind on the street without leaving them. Yes, this is the treatment we big people deserve, and it is worthy of our identity and status.
Therefore, Lin Taiping didn't need to sincerely remind me that there was a pit ahead. The aristocrats and merchants who were already fascinated took the initiative to jump into the pit. President McKenn, who had just been kicked out by the Red Rabbit, struggled to get up, and raised his hand with a flushed face and asked, "Lin, give a price, don't tell me that there is only one radio like this, and it has been given to Lord Earl."
"Of course not, I believe you can see what the purpose of my invitation to come." Lin Taiping was very honest this time, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and coughed a few times, "Ahem, considering my deep friendship with Count Nantull, I decided to have a radio... uh, a gold coin!"
"So expensive?" President McKenn gasped in disbelief, his expression exaggerated like a toothache. "Lin, you're too expensive. Even if this type of radio requires alchemy to make, no matter how rare its materials are, one radio is gold... wait, one? Not ten thousand?"
Well, as a successful businessman, President McKenn had to habitually bargain, but when he was halfway through this bargaining, when he realized that the number was not ten thousand but a gold coin, he suddenly opened his mouth blankly, and he couldn't continue to say the following words.
In fact, it was not just him, but the noble merchants around him were even more stunned. To be honest, they were already ready to be slaughtered, but now they suddenly realized that this knife was so gentle, so gentle that it was creepy. Wait, have we heard it wrong? Such a radio only costs one gold coin, what is the difference between this and free free gift?
"You heard it right, it's just a gold coin." Lin Taiping looked at them with a sincere face, and did not forget to pull over Zhu Instein next to him. "To be honest, we are losing money, but what can we do? Who told me to have a deep friendship with the Count, who told me to be full of deep respect for all gentlemen, who told me to be such a loyal and honest person."
You are honest and honest! A large group of nobles and merchants looked at each other and suddenly felt a creepy feeling. When you think about it with your duodenum, you will know that there will definitely be no free lunch in the world, so this strange-looking oriental person would actually give us such an expensive radio, which means...
In a blink of an eye, when thinking about the dark creatures behind Lin Taiping, a large group of nobles and merchants suddenly developed rich associations, and almost came to the conclusion at the same time.
