Chapter 320 (2/2)
Round cheese continued to laugh: ”you see, oil lamps have been used in our town for hundreds of years! Now an element lamp suddenly appears. It's said that this kind of thing is still popular in the capital, isn't it? Things are expensive and look dangerous. After all, we need to use so many fire magic elements! This, this... I discussed with the mayors of Kingfisher town and Honglu town. The mayors of those two towns are not very willing to put this kind of thing in their guild. And even if it's installed, we need to customize an element machine to provide elements... Element machine? That thing seems more dangerous. Recently, I heard that an element explosion occurred in the capital, killing several people! ”
Arrow didn't care much about the words of round cheese. He thought a little, smiled and said, ”these news came from xiehu city?”
Round cheese smiled: ”where else can this come from? Of course it's xiehu city! ”
Arrow: ”well, mayor, have you ever thought that the news about the explosion of the element machine didn't spread early or late, but when we wanted to combine three towns and one city to build the element machine, this news suddenly came out? Why on earth is this? ”
Round cheese tilted his head and thought for a while, looking a little confused: ”this... What's the reason?”
Arrow did not answer directly, but continued to ask with a smile: ”if the element machine and element lamp are a very safe thing and popularized, whose interests will be damaged?”
Round cheese stared and opened his mouth. For a moment, he couldn't answer.
After drinking a bowl of iced sugar water, cocoa immediately said, ”what a fool, don't you know? You really followed us for so long. ”
Margo would not miss such an opportunity to suppress the little girl's arrogance and immediately follow: ”Oh? So our little necromancer knows? Can you tell me? ”
Cocoa's face turned red all of a sudden. She puffed her cheeks. After a moment of silence, she suddenly turned her head and looked at ello for support.
Ello smiled involuntarily. He looked at Cocoa, then at the round cheese on one side, and finally stopped his eyes on Margo: ”so, do you know?”
Margo snorted, raised the light staff in her hand a little, as if to show her status, fell gently, and said, ”do you still need to say that? The first to be hit must be the merchants and manufacturers selling lamp oil and making lanterns, oil lamps and lanterns. Once the promotion of element machines is realized, it means that they will have a large amount of inventory, which will be unsalable instantly, and suddenly turn from profitable things into roadside garbage. If you want to think more deeply, if this kind of goods are always placed in the warehouse, the storage cost will rise significantly over time. In this case, it's a ghost that such people will spread the benefits of element machine and element lamp. ”
Cocoa was not convinced by Margo's eloquence, but when she turned her head and looked at ello, she saw her president smiling and nodding gently: ”really insightful. Listen to your tone, you don't seem very strange to the element machine? ”
Margo gave a sneer: ”I've seen people selling this kind of thing in Tianhe City before. The water element machine designed at that time used the power of the waterfall to generate heat energy. However, the count controlled more than half of the lamp oil supply system of the whole city at that time, so building such a water element machine was the greatest limit. ”
Ello was still smiling. The smiling expression made Margo look cold and chilly: ”Why are you... Why are you looking at me all the time? I know you're smart. If I'm wrong, just point it out. There's no need to look at people like this. ”
”Hahaha, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to laugh at you.” Arrow quickly put away his eyes and said with a smile, ”what do you think? Is the element machine and element lamp easy to use? Is it more dangerous or harmful? ”
Margo thought for a while and finally shook her head slightly: ”I don't know. After all, this thing is a new thing. If it can be fully applied in the capital, I believe it will spread all over the country in a short time. But now it seems that there is no such trend. ”
Arrow is not surprised by this answer. All progressive things will encounter strong opposition from the reactionary forces at the beginning. Because those reactionary forces are usually high-ranking people with a lot of money and status. The emergence of new things is very likely to threaten their status. Of course, it is impossible to make such things bigger.
But as long as enough time is given, new and progressive things will slowly gain the upper hand. And those opponents will slowly become welcome and rush to accept this new thing.
The only problem now is
