Profiteer.
In the end, Aurelia only had this feeling.
Others might still be confused, but she had already reacted.
Tang En was a profiteer through and through!
New design? New craftsmanship?
These were all gimmicks!
Using the excuse of product replacement to eliminate the old products that had just been sold for a few months, and then get people to buy new products. The new products only had a new appearance, but they could earn money again.
Was there a more treacherous businessman than him?
Moreover, if he could really design a new appearance, why did the bicycle's appearance not have the elven design style at all?
Aurelia glanced at the bicycle pushed by the guards beside her. It had a simple and crude structure, and there was no elven aesthetics in it at all.
Obviously, if the bicycle's appearance did not have to be designed like this, then Tang En must have done it on purpose.
What was his purpose?
"Of course, to maximize profits!"
Tang En said with a matter-of-fact expression, and said to Tina earnestly, "Product replacement is very important, and it is often accompanied by huge profits. If a product has been designed with various functions, then what should we do to maximize profits? "
Tina hesitated for a moment, and said softly, "Release some of the functions first?"
"You're worth teaching!"
Tang En gave her a thumbs up and praised, "That's right, just like what you said, release some functions first to satisfy people's needs, and expand the market at the same time. When the market is almost saturated, add some functions and improvements, then sell the new product, earn some profits, and recycle the old product for a second use. When the market is saturated again, continue the cycle … until the remaining value of the product is squeezed dry, then think of a way to innovate … Well, the so-called innovation is just like that. "
Tang En spread his hands, "We don't have the strong productivity to expand the product line now, so we have to maximize the profits of various products under the current production conditions. Then, micro-innovation is the fastest and most effective way, just like harvesting leeks, harvesting one batch after another …"
"Oh …"
Tina nodded blankly, "Sir Overlord, what's a dish? A dish that goes with wine? "
"… Mm."
Heart stifled, feeling sorry for the leeks for a second …
Ai Lili and the rest stepped down after hyping up the atmosphere, and the "I'm the Big Winner" event continued.
"How do you feel?"
Grandia curled her lips. "That's terrible."
"I didn't ask you."
Tang En looked at Ai Lili. "I'm asking about them."
Despicable bastard!
Grandia wanted nothing more than to rush up and give his crotch a good smack!
"It's alright."
Ai Lili chuckled. "Although humans are very loyal to their desires … they seem to be able to restrain their actions."
Restraint my ass …
Fiona sighed. If it weren't for Tang En secretly throwing out those fanatics, would they still be laughing now?
"Indeed, but I didn't expect so many people to like our work."
Danterian was very happy. That "Things in a Different World" was a collaboration between her and Tang En. Tang En had provided the outline and story, and she had refined and polished it. She was very happy that the readers liked it.
San Ye felt the same way. She did not expect to have so many human readers in Alinx.
But … it seemed like there were more people interested in their other pen name?
San Ye did not understand why. Drawing works like "Future Civet" and "Dragon Ball" was much more interesting than drawing manga that depicted mating. Yet, humans were more interested in mating manga. It was really strange.
"Okay, the main purpose of your appearance today is to let the humans of this world understand that the elves have not disappeared and are still living well. Let them know — Eh?"
Tang En suddenly noticed that Princess Alleria and her entourage, who had left earlier, had returned.
"Your Highness?"
"Baron Twain, my father has heard the news, so he wants to meet you."
After pausing for a moment, Princess Aurelia glanced at Ai Lili and said, "If possible, I hope you can bring these elven guests. Father wants to meet them."
"Okay."
Tang En readily agreed. "Prepare dinner. We'll go tonight."
Alleria frowned. She opened her mouth, but swallowed the words back down her throat.
"I hope Baron Tang En can arrive on time."
Aurelia finished and prepared to leave.
"Your Highness?"
A curious voice suddenly sounded. Aurelia turned her head and her frown deepened.
A man very gently said to the guard at the door, "Sorry, please let me in. I'm — "
The guard stiffly said, "No matter who you are, no one can enter without the permission of the Lord."
"Let him in."
Princess Aurelia sighed.
"Let him in."
Tang En glanced at him. "Who is this guy? He looks quite handsome — of course, not as good as me. "
"Marcalo Spade … You don't know him?"
Princess Aurelia was surprised. "Didn't you and the Noble Council … He's the next leader of the Spade family."
The Spade family?
Fiona's expression instantly became very bad. She clenched her fists tightly and trembled all over.
They were the ones who led the destruction of the Rosa d 'Oro family …
At this time, Tang En gently pressed Fiona's shoulder and shook his head slightly.
It's not time yet.
Endure.
The warmth from his palm dispelled the coldness in Fiona's heart. The autumn sun once again brought warmth.
Fiona looked at Tang En gratefully. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
At this time, Marcalo had already entered.
"Your Highness, I didn't expect to see you here."
Marcalo smiled and stepped forward to take Aurelia's hand and kiss it.
Princess Aurelia frowned. "Count Spade, you know I've always hated kissing hands."
Marcalo stopped and took back his right hand. He smiled as if nothing had happened. "Your Highness, I thought our relationship was not so distant. I prefer to hear you call me Marcalo, or Count Marcalo."
"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, let's forget it."
"The last hunting competition in the royal hunting ground was very interesting. Your Highness's heroic figure has been firmly imprinted in my heart. I've been looking forward to hunting with Your Highness again."
The smile on Marcaro's face was just right, and his manner of speech was refined and courteous to the point where no one could find fault with him. However, almost every Illrous citizen knew that the greatest enemy of the Illrous Imperial Family was the Spade Family that monopolized the Empire's economy.
Many people even knew that what the Spade family wanted to do now, to put it nicely, was a marriage alliance with the royal family. To put it bluntly, it was an attempt to usurp the country.
In order to protect the first heir, Aurelia's brother Girard, Victor had no choice but to send him to the empire's third legion stationed at the Scar of the Sacred Sword. This way, even if he couldn't bear the economic kidnapping of the Spade family and had no choice but to agree to the marriage alliance, the inheritance rights would still be with Girard and wouldn't be usurped.
It was impossible to assassinate an imperial prince in the empire's third legion.
"Sorry, I don't want to meet any high-level magic beasts that appear out of nowhere. After all, I don't always have a guest mage protecting me."
Although Aurelia had a smile on her face, the sarcasm in her words was clearly heard by everyone present.
"I've already explained, it really has nothing to do with me …"
Marcalo smiled bitterly, seemingly helpless. Seeing that Aurelia had no intention of continuing the conversation, his gaze shifted to the elf next to her. His eyes were full of amazement. "I rushed over as soon as I heard the news. Fortunately, you let me in. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to see a real elf … Sure enough, every elf is favored by the gods."
"Thank you for your praise."
Elilly thanked him very politely, and Dandelion and Clover also nodded in a friendly manner.
On the side, Grandia couldn't help but cover her face. These silly girls, couldn't they see that he was an enemy and not a friend?
"This must be the famous Baron Tang En, right? I've admired your legendary deeds for a long time. "
Marcalo sized up Tang En. To be honest, he looked ordinary on the surface, and his clothes were also very … outdated. It was impossible to tell that he was the chairman of a newly risen merchant guild.
He also couldn't tell that he was a powerful rogue mage.
"You flatter me."
Tang En said with a fake smile, "The great name of the Spade Family is also like thunder to the ears. Last time, it was all thanks to Acting Chairman Leander's care during the Noble Assembly."
Marcalo chuckled. "That's all a misunderstanding … I think we're kindred spirits and can be friends."
"Who's kindred spirits with you!"
Tang En exploded. "You're kindred spirits with your father!"
Marcalo's face stiffened. He didn't understand why Tang En would suddenly explode.
Even if he didn't care about his goodwill, as a noble, it was basic etiquette to not casually reveal one's emotions in public. Why didn't this guy play by the rules?
Aurelia rolled her eyes and tugged at Tang En's arm, rebuking, "Tang En, although you're only a baron now, you're still the lord of a count's territory. You have to pay attention to your demeanor at all times."
"I'm me, I'm just a different color … Bah! I'm me, why should I care about what other people think? "
Tang En's face was full of disdain. In any case, he would face the Spade Family head-on sooner or later. Why should he disgust himself and feign civility?
However …
Princess Aurelia's sudden coquettish attitude made his hair stand on end.
This guy, could it be that he wanted to use him to disgust Marcalo?
Wait!
Tang En suddenly came to a realization.
Wasn't this a common excuse in urban novels?
