"The method you mentioned to increase the sales of your shop …"
Frit took out the letter Josiah had written to him and pushed it to Josiah's hand after listening to the first news report.
"Could it be that you're referring to the installation of a magical machine called 'TV' in my shop?"
"Unfortunately, you're wrong." Josiah shook his head and denied Frit's guess.
"Wrong?"
The elderly gentleman turned around and gazed into the interior of the tavern.
As the news broadcasted, more and more customers came to the tavern to watch.
The owner of the tavern ordered the servants in the kitchen to move out anything that could be used as chairs. Some customers even sat on empty barrels.
A remote and dilapidated tavern on Squirrel Street was able to attract so many customers after installing this magical machine named 'TV'.
If the shops in the prime locations and relay stations all over Noland were to install the 'television', Frit believed that it would attract a huge number of customers.
"I won't deny that the television is a way to attract strangers to your tavern, but they might not necessarily be customers. After all, they come to watch the 'television'."
Josh swirled the transparent glass in his hand, which reflected the faces of the customers who had arrived at the tavern after Josh's arrival.
Only a portion of them would order a glass of wine to quench their thirst. The rest were 'spectators' who stayed in the tavern to get a seat.
The exterior of the tavern was too shabby. Who knew if there were other things mixed in a glass of wine?
"As long as one customer out of a hundred is willing to spend money, it's enough." Frit was rather open-minded.
"The manager behind the scenes of one of the largest merchant guilds in Noland only hopes to attract customers in the hundreds with this magic machine?"
Josiah shot a glance at the old merchant. This merchant from the Iron Nation was the first merchant to recognize the value of the Mana Net.
"Mister Josiah, you mean …"
"I can let your products appear on 'television'."
Josiah pointed at the wall of the tavern that was broadcasting the 'daytime news'.
Apart from Josiah and Frit, almost everyone in the tavern had their eyes on the wall.
Even the two guards behind Frit would glance at the wall from time to time.
"…"
Frit took a deep breath and didn't reply immediately.
The burning pain in his throat from drinking a bottle of strong wine had yet to subside.
The alcohol content of the Dragontail Wine was enough to make a burly man drunk, but the old gentleman from the Iron Nation's thoughts were still very clear.
He clearly understood what it meant for his products to appear on the 'television'.
Mister Noland's close to two hundred thousand viewers would see his products …
"Mister Josiah …"
Frit asked the tavern owner for a glass of ice water to ease the urge brought by the alcohol.
If he didn't get some ice water to calm down, he might immediately agree to the deal with Josiah.
The group of missionaries from the Nation of Saints was right. The most terrifying part of the devil's seduction was that one simply didn't know how to reject it.
"Most of the people in Noland are spellcasters, and the main customers of my products are also spellcasters. They aren't as easy to … convince as the farmers and craftsmen in the fields."
After calming down, Frit finally regained his mind as a businessman. He didn't think that there would be a large group of people shouting 'buy buy buy buy' with gold coins after his products appeared on 'television'.
"So before I agree to this deal, I have a request. That is … I hope that the actors involved in the movie can show up."
"I've also considered this matter." Josiah had to admit that this great businessman during the industrial revolution had a very forward-looking vision.
Currently, the epoch-making television had just started, and these businessmen's promotion of their products was only limited to distributing flyers or hiring servants to spread the word.
As for the so-called advertisements on television, they would only appear a few hundred years later.
However, after Frit understood what Josiah's promotion method was, he immediately thought of how to maximize the benefits of the promotion.
"But before I arrange for them to help you with the promotion, I need their permission," Josiah said.
"Permission … You mean the Flower of Falosi?" Frit's voice carried a hint of uncontrollable excitement. If the Flower of Falosi appeared on television and put in a few 'good words' for Klia Trading Company's products …
Not to mention the whole of Noland, Klia Trading Company's reputation would skyrocket in the entire world.
"That Miss Falosi's Flower has been a little busy lately," Josiah said against his conscience.
Carolee had indeed been very busy lately, apart from her role as a judge for the International Singing Contest.
She would also transform into a hardworking miner in the virtual world every night, building houses, killing zombies and skeletons, and occasionally searching for diamonds in the ground. Josiah recently updated the animal rearing component for Minecraft, so the Flower of Falosi had another identity as a rancher.
"Then who are you referring to?"
"Belle from Beauty and the Devil, and Leon from This Devil Isn't Too Cold. If you don't mind, I also have a 'Devil Prince' to choose from," Josiah said.
"Aren't these actors your … employees, Mr. Josiah?"
Frit frowned after hearing Josiah's list of actors.
He couldn't deny how famous these actors were in Noland, but he did his research … Especially Leon, before he was discovered by Josiah as an actor, he was only the manager of an old motel.
"Why do you need their opinion, Mr. Josiah?"
This was something that Frit didn't understand.
Although Noland was a relatively equal city, the aristocratic system was deeply ingrained in everyone's heart in Noland.
As the owner of the trading company, Frit would never consider the opinions of his subordinates, and his decisions were absolute!
"I prefer to treat every employee equally."
Josiah sensed Frit's confused gaze.
In fact, Josiah's status in Noland wasn't low. If he had a bunch of titles and titles, he might even be comparable to Mother Dragon in a game of thrones.
Just the title of prince was enough to prove Josiah's status.
Unfortunately, this Devil Prince had the soul of a very normal programmer, and Josiah couldn't afford to be so high and mighty.
"But I'll fire my employees if they slack off, but in the end … Mr. Frit, are you not satisfied with the actors I listed?"
"No! Of course I'm satisfied! "
Frit immediately shook his head. He knew that the actors under Josh's command were not as famous as the Flower of the Falosi, but they were different.
