"What exactly is not enough?" Alex became increasingly confused and could not help but ask, with a hint of urgency in his voice.
Merlin raised his lips in a meaningful arc, and said slowly: "Of course it's my ability to make money. Although the Arcane City seems prosperous now, I put in a lot of effort, not for charity, nor just to help the Arcane Academy. My goal from the beginning to the end is to earn more gold coins."
He paused for a moment, looking out the window into the distance, and continued, "Now in the lower city of the Arcane City, the orc brothers have finally accumulated some savings, but because they are afraid of poverty, they hold on to their money tightly and save it, rarely spending it. This is not conducive to the circulation of gold coins and the growth of my wealth."
Merlin stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked slowly in the office, saying as he walked: "Although I have successfully attracted many upper-class people and made huge profits with the Goblin... Elf Jade Foot Wine, it is a limited edition product after all, and the production is limited, so it is impossible to make money on a large scale. As for the Legend Duel card game, although it has gained popularity due to the film and television "Duel King", it still has insufficient influence in this vast continent of Azer and the player base is limited. And the other industries I have on hand, although they are constantly bringing in gold coins every day, this speed, in my opinion, is too slow!"
Merlin's tone revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and impatience, as if he was an insatiable gold digger who looked at the gold mountain in front of him and still thought it was not tall enough.
Electrolux listened quietly at the side and couldn't help but complain in his heart: Is this guy really speaking human language?
He curled his lips speechlessly and thought to himself: You are already rich now!
Although it is unclear how many gold coins Lord Merlin holds, with the industries and resources he controls now, buying the entire Alvis family is absolutely easy and there is no suspense.
However, there is no need to really buy it. Now, many industries of the Alves family are working obediently for Lord Merlin and contributing to the growth of his wealth.
Merlin didn't seem to notice what Alex was thinking. He stopped, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. He turned to look at Alex and said, "So, we must come up with new ways to stimulate consumption, expand the source of income, and make every corner of the Arcane City a tool for me to make money. Alex, do you have any good ideas?"
Alex was slightly stunned, then came back to his senses. He pondered for a moment and said, "Sir, perhaps we can hold some large-scale festivals to attract tourists from all over the world, which can not only stimulate consumption but also increase the popularity of the Arcane City. Furthermore, we can develop some new magic entertainment projects to target people from different classes, meet their diverse needs, and make them willing to pay. What do you think?"
Merlin nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes: "Well, your idea is quite good. I want to do this. Now that "Duel King" has been released to the Duel City chapter, I plan to launch corresponding activities in the Arcane City. However, this requires careful preparation."
What Alex said made sense, but the Arcane City was, after all, a new city that had been established not long ago and did not have much cultural heritage. It had only developed so well because of the Arcane Academy and the World of Warcraft Mountains. But that was all there was, and there was really no point in coming here for tourism.
Merlin stroked his chin as he spoke, excitement gradually igniting in his eyes. However, if there are no conditions, it is entirely possible to create them. What is the biggest advantage of the Arcane City?
That is naturally the Arcane Academy, which has the largest number of magicians in the world, and these students are as pure as a blank sheet of paper, so there is a lot of room for development here.
His thoughts drifted further and further away, and a blueprint for making money gradually emerged in his mind. What do those rich people and nobles like to watch?
Ever since slavery was abolished in the Aize Federation, there has been no more "game" called slave duel in the six empires. Peace has lasted too long, and these guys are eager to fight in their bones. Of course, the nobles will not think about fighting themselves, but let their men fight. They only like to watch.
The arena is really interesting, especially the magician duel. It seems that every individual duel in the final exam of the Arcane City will attract many nobles to watch. Of course, some of them want to watch their own children, but most of them still like to watch the duel between magicians.
very good! Confrontation is always the most attractive thing! Why not use the resources you have?
Merlin chuckled, as if he had seen the gold coins flowing into his bag continuously. He could not wait to pick up the communication crystal and contact his chief architect Garant directly. At the same time, he was thinking in his mind: I have to contact the vice-president and the deans of the branches of the Arcane Academy. This matter must be planned carefully, and this arena must become a new money-making tool for the Arcane City.
After a while, Garant's respectful voice came from the other end of the communication crystal: "My lord, what do you want?"
Merlin cleared his throat and roughly explained his idea. At the end, he emphasized: "Galant, the design of this arena must be unique. It must not only show the magical charm of the Arcane City, but also meet the viewing needs of the audience. Everyone who steps into it will be shocked. Do you understand?"
"Understood, sir!" Garant responded quickly, "I will do my best to build an unprecedented arena."
"If you have any problems, go directly to the Steam and Star Alchemy Workshop and let them find a solution." After hanging up the communication crystal, Merlin contacted the vice-president and the dean of the branch in turn to discuss with them how to organize magicians to participate in the competition, as well as formulate relevant rules and reward mechanisms.
After finishing all the conversations, Merlin stared at the communication crystal on the table, his heart full of emotion. This communication crystal is undoubtedly a great invention of the Aize continent. Once it is popularized, it will completely change the way people communicate.
However, at present, its scope of use is limited and it can only be used in the Arcane City and the Arcane Academy. If the entire continent is to be able to enjoy its convenience, it is imperative to build a large number of "signal towers" and cover the entire continent with magic network.
But this project was too huge, so for now, Merlin decided to put these complicated thoughts aside.
He stood up slightly, shook his sore arms, then leaned heavily back in his chair, assuming a comfortable and relaxed posture. After being busy for a long time, Merlin was a little overwhelmed when he suddenly had some free time. His eyes wandered around the house aimlessly.
