Chapter 394 Traveling Frog
Teacher Ling, who comes from a family of scientific researchers, asked Lilian to give Jiang Qi a magic item that he thought could be used in the snow village the next day.
The list is as follows:
A clock with hands running backwards.
A teacup and teapot that can control temperature and keep heat permanently.
Stickers on cabinets/fridges that show on paper what items are inside.
Self-cleaning sofa cushions.
Windows that automatically change the view outside based on temperature and sunlight.
An alchemical butterfly that can fly and sprinkle gold dust.
The singing alchemical frog (a hot item!).
Talking fitting mirror (a hot item).
A chair that adjusts its height according to the height of the user.
…
There are a total of 27 magic items on the list. After reading it, Jiang Qi felt that Teacher Ling's understanding of modern society might still be a little biased. He might think of science too much like magic.
This list was rejected by Jiang Qi without mercy.
Then Teacher Ling came to Jiang Qi's office and argued with Jiang Qi.
"Boss, I don't think there's anything wrong with the items on my list."
Even when he argued with reason, Teacher Zero behaved very politely and his tone was very calm, as if the list that was sent back was not something he had come up with after staying up all night.
Jiang Qi:? ? ?
Jiang Qi picked up the list that Lilian handed over in the morning and showed it to Teacher Zero. The handwriting on the list was very beautiful and was written by Lilian's automatic quill, one of the few magic supplies.
As for why the text in the magical world is exactly the same as the text in Jiang Qi's world, don't ask, it's just that Jiang Qi is the game player.
This automatic quill pen seems to Jiang Qi to be very useful. There are no mobile phones and computers in the magical world, so there is no way to type using electronic products. If you want to record things, you can only rely on handwriting or taking pictures of crystal balls.
Crystal balls that take pictures are expensive and are generally used to record important things. Naturally, the lesson plans of a third-rate teacher like Lillian must be written by hand.
It’s too tiring to write by hand, and everyone’s handwriting is uneven.
Books in the magical world must be written by hand first, and then the entire book can be copied directly using magic and purchased in bulk.
Think about it, a well-known magician with a great reputation has an ugly hand. If this magician publishes a magic book or writes a memoir in the future, his ugly words will be all over the market. How embarrassing.
This is how the automatic quill pen came into being.
In terms of functionality alone, the automatic quill pen is actually not easy to use. It can only completely record what the user said, and there is no way to polish and modify the language. Even typos and grammatical errors cannot be corrected.
The only advantage of the automatic quill pen is probably that the handwriting it produces is very beautiful.
In fact, there are some quill pens with more complete functions in the wizarding world, such as those with error correction functions, polishing functions, expansion functions, and you can choose different fonts, but those are too expensive.
Lillian understands everything about her financial situation.
If she didn't really want to write, Lillian wouldn't even buy an automatic quill.
Jiang Qi pointed to the black and white words on the list and asked: "I won't talk about anything else, just this. Teacher Ling, do you think it is reasonable to put a talking mirror in the guest's room?"
"It's quite reasonable." Teacher Ling said, "Boss, if you think the mirror will scare the guests if it suddenly speaks, just like it would scare you if I suddenly float next to you and speak suddenly. I can add additional facial features to the mirror, Emerge when the mirror is talking, so that guests can be mentally prepared.”
Jiang Qi:......
It sounds scarier.
"Teacher Ling, is there something in modern technology that makes you think it's reasonable for mirrors to talk?" Jiang Qi asked helplessly.
Teacher Zero thought for a while: "I saw in a TV series a few days ago that the protagonist can log into the game system by looking in the mirror. The mirror will also show the game mall to buy things in the mall."
"I think the protagonist's game system is not as advanced as your boss. He still needs to look for mirrors to log into the game store. Boss, if you want to see the card details, just click on it at any time." Teacher Ling even took the opportunity to take a picture. Just flatter Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi:......
How should he explain to Teacher Zero that his game system is as unreasonable as magic...
"Then I watched the news and discovered that there is a thing in your world called artificial intelligence. We can explain that there is artificial intelligence in the mirror."
"The Magic Fitting Mirror is a popular product of our Magic Factory. It can recommend clothes to users based on the weather that day, and can also help users evaluate their outfits that day. The advanced version can also remind users of the weather that day, Depending on the holiday situation and the visitor situation, the production process of the high-end model is actually the same as that of the basic model, but the price is doubled because it has more functions.”
Jiang Qi:......
Stop saying it, or he will be tempted.
It doesn't matter whether he can use it in the snow village. Let's put one in his hotel room first.
"Ahem." Jiang Qi coughed twice and cleared his throat, "It's like this, Teacher Ling. I admit that this must be really useful. Even if it is placed here, it must be a super hot product, but... …”
"Of course, I don't know how far the current artificial intelligence has developed, but if the artificial intelligence in our amusement park reaches this level... it is really unreasonable."
Teacher Ling thought for a while: "How about I give it less functions? Make it less intelligent?"
It can be seen that Teacher Zero really recommends their Magic Factory’s super popular products.
Jiang Qi thought for a moment: "Let's do this. Mr. Ling, you can discuss the items on this list with Mr. John, Uncle Huang, and Jiang Cha. Anyway, most of the items' current functions must not work."
"If you can modify its functions, you should discuss the modified functions with them first. If they agree, you can make a new list and give it to me. I will let Lilian do it after I agree."
"Okay." Teacher Ling could only compromise and drift away.
Not to mention, Teacher Ling has been floating around every day during this period, becoming more and more like a ghost.
Just when Teacher Lin floated to the door, Jiang Qi's phone vibrated. Jiang Qi picked up the phone and took a look, raised his hand and said loudly: "Teacher Ling, please ask Lillian to make a high-end mirror with complete functions first." .”
"Jiang Cha is willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy one side."
Teacher Zero nodded and floated away.
Jiang Qi took his mobile phone to send a message to Jiang Cha.
Jiang Qi: No surveillance or eavesdropping on the boss’s office is allowed unless necessary!
Jiang Cha: ^_^.
With the unremitting efforts of Teacher Ling, the final list approved by Jiangcha, Huang Fugui, and Old John was finally handed over to Jiang Qi’s desk on June 18.
The items on the list are divided into two categories.
A type of wooden house used for tourists to live in, such as a clock with hands running backwards, a super low-end version of a fitting mirror, a super low-end version of a window that adjusts the scenery through voice control, a wind chime that does not ring, and a super low-end version that automatically adjusts the scenery through voice control. Switch cabinets and the like can barely be explained by technology.
Another type that is difficult to explain with technology is only placed in the tavern.
Lilian is sitting in the tavern. Although Lilian can't control her own building like Lili and Wang Xinghua, she is still a magician. The things on the list are unreasonable, but the three of them feel that Lilian has the ability to fool them. .
Things like butterflies that scatter glitter, singing frogs, cups that automatically emit water, and seats that automatically adjust height.
"We can also interpret alchemy products like butterflies and frogs as small robots. How can we explain the tea cup that automatically dispenses tea?" Jiang Qi frowned as he looked at the tavern list and asked.
"This is very simple." Lillian said cheerfully, "The cup that can automatically dispense water can only be used by me. Isn't my character the tavern proprietress? I am only responsible for selling wine and drinks."
"I found out that I can't learn bartending. I still have to leave it to a professional bartender. But I can sell drinks that don't need to be mixed."
"There is one cup for each drink, and each cup can only be placed in a fixed place. I control it. Once the transparent cup is placed in a place, the same amount of drinks will automatically come out of the cup, so the guests will definitely feel that it is There is a mechanism under the quilt."
Jiang Qi thought about it and thought it would work.
"You can do tricks and sell wine, right?"
Lilian nodded: "This way drinks like beer, cola, and orange juice can be sold more expensively. After all, we have to charge a performance fee."
"Just sell it at the normal price." Jiang Qi said that the amusement park is not short of money for drinks now. This method of selling drinks can only be used by Lilian. How many drinks can she sell in a day?
"Then this traveling frog..." Jiang Qi pointed to the item on the list, "Is it the traveling frog I know?"
"This is Teacher Ling's new idea!" Lillian looked up with admiration when she mentioned this. "I actually have a lot of alchemy materials here. I can directly make a one-meter-tall cartoon-style travel bag with a backpack. Frog. This frog will be selling snow village surroundings in the tavern. The movements are designed to be a bit mechanical and only appear at a fixed time every day. It must be a good gimmick."
"How to sell?"
"Hang the QR code around your neck, and the frog will open the backpack after scanning the code. Only one product is sold every day, every day is different, limited sales, alternative blind box, hunger marketing."
Jiang Qi: "...Did Teacher Ling come up with this traveling frog idea alone?"
Lilian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Teacher Zero is really amazing!"
"Teacher Zero said that boss, you are not placing magic items in Snow Village to sell them for money. What you want is just to increase the attraction of Snow Village. The quantity and price of the items sold by the frog are not actually important, the frog itself is important."
"Teacher Zero's magic factory has many popular frog products. Even if the traveling frog is newly designed by Teacher Zero, there will definitely be no problems!"
Jiang Qi suddenly felt that Teacher Ling, who came from a family of scientific researchers, had some business acumen.
How long has it been since I learned how to launch new products?
"Then just follow what's on the list." Jiang Qi nodded, "I don't know the specific prices of these magic supplies. You can discuss it with Teacher Ling and draw up a price list for me."
Jiang Qi originally thought Lilian would be very happy, but unexpectedly Lilian shook her head and said no money was needed.
"Boss, Teacher Zero and I are also members of the amusement park. We make these magic items to make Xuecun's business better. Anyway, these magic items don't require many magic stones. They are all super low-end versions that are not difficult and not very expensive. Time, you don’t have to pay.”
Jiang Qi:?
Lilian's ideological awareness is actually so high?
Could it be because Jiang Cha spent 100,000 yuan to buy a magic mirror from her and Teacher Ling, helped Lillian repay the loan in advance and compensated for the Lili doll. Lillian is now debt-free and has nothing to spend on, so Did you come up with a sudden awakening of your thoughts?
"I want to be the project leader of Xuecun like Xinghua and Feng Ling." Lilian said.
Jiang Qi breathed a sigh of relief, this is normal.
"principal?"
"It's not the main person in charge, as long as it's one of the project leaders of Xuecun." Lilian explained quickly, "I know that Xuecun is mainly responsible for Director Shen. I don't know how to manage accommodation, nor do I know how to purchase and replenish goods. What's more, We don’t know how to do business, so Teacher Ling and I just want to be a nominal person in charge.”
"You should be talking about a supervisor or manager."
"That's pretty much what it means." Lillian didn't know the various positions in the amusement park at all. "Boss, I've been coming to the amusement park for so long. Everyone has positions, but I've been selling things. I want to be like everyone else."
Jiang Qi understood. Lilian felt that the character of the tavern proprietress was incompatible with other card characters.
Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling are the directors of the theater. Although Old John attends classes every day, he is the director of the technical department. Huang Fugui is the HR director. Jiang Cha is the financial director. Wang Erya is not involved in the affairs of the amusement park when he is in school.
Even Lili is actually the person in charge of the dollhouse, responsible for the attendance and performance appraisal of all employees in the haunted house. Lilian's position is indeed a bit incompatible with everyone.
"No problem." Jiang Qi readily agreed, "But since you want to be responsible for the snow village, you must take corresponding responsibility for the snow village and pay more attention."
"I can boss!"
"Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling are going to take a commission from the theater's general turnover. Since your and Teacher Ling's current positions are theoretically similar to theirs, I will naturally give you Xuecun's commission as well."
"However, most matters in Xuecun are actually still in charge of Director Shen. The nature of your work, Wang Xinghua, and Feng Ling are somewhat different. The commission..." Jiang Qi paused and said for a moment. She couldn't figure out how much to smoke for Lillian, "Are you and Teacher Ling short of money? Is there anything you want to buy?"
"I don't have anything I want to buy, but Teacher Zero wants to buy a crystal coffin to use as a bed."
Jiang Qi:?
bed?
Although he had planned to buy a crystal coffin for Teacher Zero before Teacher Zero came, it was not to serve as a bed for Teacher Zero, but to allow him to bury him in peace.
"Are there any quality requirements?" Jiang Qi asked.
"The finest crystal."
Jiang Qi thought about the quotation given to him by the previous manufacturer and felt that Teacher Ling might have to fight for a long time if he wanted to buy this bed.
"Let's do this. I'll go to Jiang Cha to discuss the commission for you and Teacher Ling later. Don't have high expectations. It won't be too high, and there's a high probability that it won't be drawn from the total turnover of Xuecun. It should be The tavern’s commission.”
"Work hard and try to let Teacher Ling sleep in a crystal coffin as soon as possible." Jiang Qi patted Lilian's shoulder encouragingly.
"I can boss!"
"I'm going to do a fitting mirror right now!"
