Secondly, he didn't have that kind of hobby. He was too busy with his own things. He worked during the day, studied at night, and took time to research after waking up. How could he have the energy to do anything else?
"Anyway, I have seen your attitude."
Wander clenched his fists excitedly and looked at his brother, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"but--"
"But!?" Wander was a little nervous.
"Ah, I understand your attitude, but you should also know that the mass production of cards is not done by me."
Light Bulb Workshop——
Wan De suddenly became alert.
The workshop that cooperates with Link Company to mass-produce cards!
If Strange Burger Company and Link Company cooperate, then in theory, they will become "partners", but in fact, their status with Light Bulb Workshop is by no means ordinary "cooperation", but more of a competition!
"I have contacted the representative of the Light Bulb Workshop," Zhaoye checked the time, "He should be coming to the tower soon."
Just like what Zhaoye said.
The people from the Light Bulb Workshop have arrived at the Duel Tower.
No, to be exact, the Light Bulb Workshop had come to the tower a long time ago.
"Ms. Lin, where is Manager Zhao? Why hasn't he called us yet?" The one who spoke was a workshop boy who had met Lin once before.
He was wearing a red uniform, but the difference was that his uniform looked bigger than before, and there seemed to be some markings on it.
He seemed to have been promoted.
"Don't worry." After he spoke, a man on the other side, smoking a cigarette and carrying a weapon that looked like a hammer, said, "The president should be negotiating with the hamburger head at this time.
We should be notified later."
"But... on behalf of..."
The so-called representative is actually equivalent to the owner of the workshop, and this tall and strong man smoking a cigarette and carrying a sledgehammer is the representative of the light bulb workshop - Eddie.
The guy in the workshop felt a little unhappy.
Duel Monsters was first discovered by their Light Bulb Workshop, and then they successfully contacted Zhaoye in the Beginner's Competition, and gained cooperation through their sincerity and performance.
Over the past month, they have been working closely with the link company, never cheating the link company, fulfilling their duties conscientiously, and expanding the card market.
Although, they did study cards and duel disks, they were merely learning and using them to improve the performance of their own workshop's weapons - besides, this was what they had agreed with Zhao Ye at the time.
It is true that their workshop made a lot of money because of Duel Monsters, and the number of staff in the workshop also increased a lot, but they felt that this was normal cooperation.
In fact, Zhaoye has always been very satisfied. He is happy every time he exchanges information with them. It is a true business, reasonable and pleasant cooperation.
As a result, at this time, a "third party" suddenly appeared and actually wanted to compete with their workshop for the production of link company cards. How could they tolerate this!
When he left, he took all his stuff with him!
He even brought a weapon that could resonate with the equipped magic card!
Damn it, I wonder who dares to steal our jobs!
In fact, at the beginning, the representative Eddie also thought so.
However, after running along with the finishing people, he gradually calmed down.
In fact, when he was communicating with Zhao Ye before, he had mentioned that their workshop was gradually unable to keep up with production.
Although I said it to Zhaoye in a "showing off" tone at the time, in fact, this problem did exist.
As the workshop earned more and more "extra money", the income from Duel Monsters was slowly catching up with the revenue from selling weapons in their workshop.
Of course, part of the reason was that the products made in the workshop were indeed expensive and not everyone could afford them. Not many could be sold in a day, but the income from the cards still shocked him.
And this presents a decisive problem.
Should he sell cards or weapons?
He opened the workshop not for his dream of weapons, but for money.
However, although the card has great power, it is a very difficult thing for everyone in the workshop to obtain.
Compared to weapons that can be directly manufactured through technology, the "secrets" hidden in the cards are too big for ordinary workshop finishers to figure out.
Compared to cards, mass-produced weapons are more practical and easier to defend when they promote the cards.
This was his idea - the cards had to be sold, after all, they were all money, but the weapons could never be put down!
Their goal is to spread the cards to a wider area of the back alleys, and for this purpose, protective force is essential!
So, he also figured it out.
Having a partner can share the pressure of cards with them, produce more cards, and spread their reputation further, which will benefit them in every way!
His goal is to raise the level of the workshop
To upgrade, it must be upgraded to at least S-level, heavy industry or the like!
Of course, the prerequisite is that the partner must be strong!
He believed in Zhao Ye's strength.
But why should the hamburger company cooperate with them?
He needs to confirm the strength of this company!
He carried the "hammer" and waited for a while, when he suddenly heard a noise. Zhaoye, Eudora, Wander and others came over. Zhaoye saw him at a glance and smiled: "Representative Eddie, long time no see!
I'm sorry I didn't come to greet you earlier."
Eddie quickly put out the cigarette and hid it behind him.
"Ha, President Zhao, long time no see, long time no see. It's not too late, not too late—" Although he had chatted with Zhao Ye several times, he was still quite excited to see Zhao Ye.
This is the cash cow of their workshop!
After greeting Zhao Ye, he looked at Wan De, his expression changed, he snorted coldly, and put down the "hammer" he was carrying.
The hammer fell to the ground with a bang, and Wander realized that it was not a hammer but a wooden...staff?
"Ripple? I didn't expect that your physical body would produce this?" Zhao Ye took a look at the staff and his eyes lit up.
"Hehe, thanks to Zhaoye for the idea you provided earlier. I just succeeded, so I showed it to you." Although he said this modestly, Eddie raised his head and glanced at Wander.
This is a display of strength!
Although Wande didn't know what this was, he could tell that the workshop representative seemed very unfriendly to him.
He asked hesitantly, "What is this?"
"Staff of Silence, Ripple Staff... You may not know this, so I'll simply explain it - it is an equipment magic card from the same series as the [Echo Sword]."
Echo!!!
Wander and his companions stared.
A card from the same series as that invincible sword!?
Wander suddenly felt as if countless heavy stones were pressing down on him.
This, this, this—
Eddie looked down at him.
If you don't show enough strength to get his approval, don't even think you'll cooperate with us so easily!
Zhao Ye glanced at the two of them, with the corners of his mouth curled up.
Very good. Everything was just as he expected.
Chapter 96: Singularity Commodities, Make People Crash
The headquarters of the Strange Burger Company is further away on Duel Alley.
Actually, Zhaoye couldn't understand it.
It is clearly a "national-level" unit, but it is called a "nest"; there are tall buildings everywhere and there are differences between different cities, but it is called a "back alley".
When Zhao Ye first came across the term "back alley", he thought he was living in a huge courtyard complex, but after walking around a few times, he realized that the "back alley" was just called a back alley, but in fact, there were all kinds of facilities there.
There are supermarkets, shopping malls, and various entertainment institutions.
The technology in the city is extremely weird, but the people in the back alleys are not primitive people, so of course it won’t be that outrageous.
The Strange Burger Company has a huge high-rise building that looks even taller than the Duel Towers. Outside the building, there is a vast pasture, but unfortunately, not many livestock can be seen from a distance.
Zhao Ye and others came here under the guidance of the Hamburger man, but... the situation on the scene was not good.
In the hamburger company, there were screams everywhere, and soon, crackling sounds could be heard, and blood and filth were splattered everywhere.
"Tsk." Eddie shook his head immediately after seeing this scene, "Wander, did you bring President Zhao to the company just to let him see this?
Tsk."
He was not very satisfied.
When he was on a "field inspection", there was an internal strife at the future partner company, which did not look like a good thing.
"Why not let my people help you deal with it? We are part-time cleaners anyway." Eddie said casually.
Wander took a deep breath when he heard his words.
Indeed, with two people who may abandon their company at any time, seeing such a scene would definitely make them doubt the company's "strength".
but……
"Don't worry about it, Mr. Eddie...it's just a small problem."
"Small problem?" Eddie said noncommittally.
Zhao Ye touched his chin and was not surprised by what was happening.
"I remember that Peter from the Seventh Association said that there is a traitor in your company, right? A traitor who gambled with the life of your company."
“Yeah.” Wan De admitted this, not minding the internal noise, and led the visitors inside, “When we found out that A Yu was a traitor, several of my brothers immediately thought of it in order to stably control the collapse of the company.
A Yu will definitely leave some [Assassins] in the company.
He had been following me, so he knew what I was going to do next. He knew that I wanted to use the remaining machines of T Company to speed up the production of cards.
If he did, then he... would definitely send someone to be on standby at all times.
If an accident occurs, the machine will be destroyed directly, and the company will have absolutely no chance of recovery."
"If he wants to do something, he will do it to the extreme. He is indeed a good troublemaker." Eddie said casually.
"I see. So the other people in your company took this opportunity to rush back and prepare?"
“…Yes, Old Jack immediately captured Ayu and forced him to send a message to his men, asking them to delay their dispatch, and then made them wear markers in order to catch them.
I think it’s about time now.”
He led his men into the company, which was covered in blood. A man in a suit had blood on his face and clothes. After noticing Wan De, he bowed to him and then dragged the corpse out.
The war had left the company covered in blood and debris, but everything seemed to be in good order, and the person in charge of the front desk also came forward to greet them.
Zhaoye frowned slightly, and Eddie nodded slightly.
Although Eddie didn't like the content of this "welcome", this kind of thing was common in the back alley and there was nothing wrong with it.
Wande brought Zhao Ye and others to the second floor of the company. In the center of the second floor, there was a tracked machine that looked very simple.
On the machine, there is a symbol consisting of two "T"s, shaped like an hourglass.
This is exactly the product of T Company!
Next to the machine stood a man, about thirty or forty years old, with a half-shaved beard. He had many wounds on his body, and his blood was very fresh. Zhao Ye had seen this man before. He was the one who cheered for Wander in the Duel Tower.
"President." The man greeted Wan De hastily and finally said, "The machine has not been damaged at all!"
"Huh—that's good." Wander breathed a sigh of relief.
This is their "hope" to be able to cooperate with Zhaoye and Eddie. If this thing breaks, they will have no chance at all.
Zhao Ye glanced at the machine and raised his eyebrows slightly.
“How interesting…” Eddie was a little surprised, “Everything in your company seems to be in perfect order, it doesn’t look like you’ve been backstabbed at all.
Logically speaking, if you have such strength, how could you end up like this? "
