Chapter 356 Gift Ticket
The terms offered by the Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry are indeed generous. After all, Oliver, Andrew and a representative from the lord's palace, these are three tickets, and according to the plan submitted by the Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry, they have a total of There is a quota of seven representatives, which is two fewer than the duplex union.
There is no doubt that even among businessmen and factory owners, they do not want power to be dispersed.
Under such circumstances, the quota of each representative becomes very precious.
And now, they are actually willing to offer three quotas for the transaction, and Purficott can really feel this sincerity.
Of course, this quota seems to have cost the businessmen and factory owners a lot of money and given up a considerable amount of benefits, but in fact, if you just think about it, if Purficott did not approve it, their federation would not be established. These three The exchange of quotas is not so surprising.
As for Oliver becoming the representative of the businessmen and Andrew becoming the representative of the factory owners, there is actually nothing surprising. Not to mention that they themselves have the qualifications, and they have the pioneer knights canonized by Perfectcott. Their status also destined them to be sufficiently important among businessmen and factory owners that they would have a high probability of being elected even in a normal election.
So Purficott did feel the sincerity of businessmen and factory owners, but the specific extent of this sincerity was a matter of opinion.
After all, no matter what, these are three votes out of seven. If Purficott is willing, he can indeed effectively influence the federation of businessmen and factory owners.
Therefore, after some painless detailed discussions, Purficott happily agreed to the establishment of the Federation of Commerce and Industry.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the business representative adding a sum to the gift list.
“Two hundred thousand gold pounds, although it is an astonishing figure, is nothing to these businessmen.” Holding the altered gift list, Purficott sighed with emotion, but also Not without showing sarcasm.
Most of the items listed on the gift list are precious books, instruments, and related precious materials related to alchemy.
For Purficott, it would take a lot of time and energy, especially money, to collect these things.
Although with the rise of fantasy alchemy she announced, traditional alchemy books and related materials have seen some price reductions and depreciations, Purficott clearly understands that the threshold of fantasy alchemy is actually It's not low. If you don't learn traditional realistic alchemy well and don't have a solid foundation, you won't be qualified to learn fantasy alchemy.
It's like building a high-rise building. No matter how fancy or fancy your building design is, the base must be solid.
If the foundation is not strong, the higher the building is, the easier it will collapse.
Furthermore, the essence of the fantasy alchemy announced by Purficott is just a prerequisite for unrealistic alchemy that originally requires the use of the Philosopher's Stone to bypass the Philosopher's Stone. As for alchemy, The difficulty itself has not been reduced at all.
If you are an alchemist with a solid foundation in the field of traditional alchemy, you can quickly take off in the field of fantasy alchemy with just a little imagination.
The witch workshop that Purficott heard about is probably a representative of such an existence.
But if you haven’t even learned the basics of alchemy well, and you think you can rely on fantasy alchemy to achieve the so-called counterattack and overtaking in life, that is unrealistic and unrealistic. Only by learning the basics can you take off on the wings of fantasy alchemy.
Of course, if someone is complacent, conservative, or even has no imagination in the traditional field, he will not be able to fly no matter how solid the foundation is.
Because he does not have the ability to turn his imagination into wings and take himself soaring, or he simply does not have the imagination.
In fact, the empire does not lack such talentless alchemists. Most of them are in a state of being conservative in their functions. They only know how to move forward according to the theories and rules given by their predecessors, and do not know about breakthroughs and improvements. Think that everything in the past is good, and think that innovation is nonsense.
However, in fact, their approach not only stifled their own creativity, but also stifled the creativity of those young alchemists.
Perfect had already experienced this kind of conflict and contradiction between tradition and innovation when she was still at Langton. Otherwise, she would not have said that she had lost the opportunity to become a university professor so easily. opportunity.
Other people did find relationships through the back door, and gender discrimination was also the main reason, but I have to admit that the academic conflicts between Purficott and those old guys were also one of the reasons why she could not get support. .
In fact, even now, the old guys in Langton still have a lot of opinions and complaints about Purficott, and they don't think much of her because of her current status.
It’s just that for those old guys, they will never be able to catch up with Perfectcott’s pace, let alone her achievements. They have nothing but jealousy. They have to use other methods to target Perficott. After all, their poor imagination is equally lacking even in this aspect.
However, these are not worth caring about for Purficott. In the doomsday winter of the future, those who are incompetent will only be eliminated by the harsh living environment, and only those who are truly capable will be qualified to survive.
Even those old guys who follow the old ways, as long as their foundation is solid enough, there will be no problem if they want to rely on alchemy to survive in the future apocalypse.
But if you don’t have enough strength, then even if you can use fantasy alchemy to your advantage, it will be useless.
Of course, anyone who can make fantasy alchemy come true cannot be a person who is fundamentally vain, unless he is using deception and false pretense.
"When the things are delivered, put them in the warehouse of the Lord's Mansion. For the sake of the end, I have almost lost all my family wealth, so this money will be used to supplement the family's wealth." Purfico Te said this to the old housekeeper, but in fact she just felt that these things were of no use for the time being and could only be put in the warehouse to gather dust.
For Purficott, money can be invested directly where it is needed, and low-level alchemical materials and outputs can be immediately put into industrial production, but cherishing materials means that they are scarce in quantity. When Kurt didn't have the time or energy to invent and create, they were just pretty decorations.
However, these things will not be wasted. When the end comes, it may become more difficult to obtain these precious resources, or even become extinct. These may be the last remaining things. Save them until the end. No problem.
