Report

At the beginning of March, after a three-month clean-up, the werewolves and vampires that were recorded on Sunday in the British Isles were either killed or killed.

Most of them were either killed or chased away from the three islands. Only the vegetarians of the two clans were able to submit an application to Kingsman for identification.

Were allowed to stay in the British Isles.

The three-month period also made it clear to the otherworldlings all over the world that it was because of the werewolf Lucian and the vampire Kraven.

These two reckless fellows had designs on William. In the end, not only did they die, but they also attracted crazy revenge.

William single-handedly won the war against the vampires and werewolves in England, and he also announced that London and Oxford would be off-limits to vampires and werewolves in the future.

If any werewolf or vampire who did not notify in advance or registered their identity dared to come, he dared to kill them.

Such arrogant words, of course, would not be accepted.

But no one was an idiot. Without a thorough plan, the vampires and werewolves would not directly come to him at this time.

Unfortunately, before the people who wanted revenge could finish their plan.

After a month of renovation in London and Oxford, all the street lamps and light bulbs in public lighting equipment,

Were all replaced with new lighting equipment that was both energy-saving and could emit ultraviolet rays.

Now, even if the vampires begged to live in London, they probably would not come.

As for the two cities agreeing to a large-scale equipment replacement so easily,

That was because the replacement of the light bulbs and the labor were all free of charge.

At the end of January, when William was bored, he combined a few of his ultraviolet technologies with the energy-saving lamps. He had not taken them out yet.

He was stopped by the executive director of the Bulletproof Products Company, the former British Minister of Security, Catherine, who came to report to him.

According to Catherine, the ultraviolet rays of this technology were only incidental. The real money-maker was the energy saving.

So after knowing that energy-saving lamps were four times more energy efficient than current incandescent lamps and had a lifespan six times longer,

Catherine immediately called King Philip and the Grand Duke of Grosvenor and directly asked for a board meeting to discuss the promotion of the technology and the cost of licensing.

Seeing Catherine's nervous look, William would be an idiot if he did not react.

Thinking about how every household in China would use energy-saving lamps in a decade or so, there was no need to waste more time thinking about how much profit there would be.

The only pity was that if it was produced in England, with the high labor costs, the product would probably lose its competitiveness in a few years.

He looked at William, who was wearing a white coat and smart glasses. He was deep in thought with a smile on his face.

Catherine was very regretful, but if she didn't stop him, William would have almost authorized all the lighting companies in the world.

All they wanted was to get some royalties.

Sure enough, William, who already knew the value of the technology, did not have much of an intention to share it, and he did not lack money either.

Although he was polite to Duke Grovena and Philip, who had personally rushed to the manor, the two of them quickly sensed William's indifference.

However, after looking at the parameters of the energy-saving lamp, he heard from Sunday that according to the current electricity price in England,

An ordinary CFL lamp that cost five pounds could be used by an ordinary family for only three months, and the electricity saved would be worth five pounds.

Philip and Grove didn't care about what William thought. They pestered William relentlessly.

After going back and forth for nearly a week, Philip, Grove, and Catherine agreed that William would use the technology to take 50% of the shares.

They would invest 100 million pounds to take 25%, 75% of the total shares, and Philip and the other two would invest 200 million pounds to take 25%.

William, who was not in the mood to manage, also agreed to form a new lighting company.

The registration of the Devonshire lighting company only took three days. Not only was the procedure completed, but they also spent 70 million pounds to buy a large lighting company in England.

Then, Catherine went to the relevant departments in London according to the small conditions they had agreed on before the negotiation.

She offered to change the bulbs for London's street lights and public lighting equipment for free.

The London officials certainly wouldn't refuse such a good deal, which could save four times the energy, six times the lifespan, and didn't need to pay eight million pounds for the replacement.

Even those at the top who knew about the existence of vampires, when they learned that energy-saving lamps had their own ultraviolet function,

Without much hesitation, they spontaneously used their connections to lobby for the replacement of the light bulbs.

In less than a month, London had replaced more than 80,000 light bulbs, and Oxford, which was a little smaller, had also replaced nearly 20,000.

After the replacement of the two cities, the phone bill was only about three million pounds, and about two million of that was labor costs.

When William learned that Catherine had quoted an average price of 60 pounds to the officials in both places for a light bulb, and that the average production price of high-power street lights and ordinary lights was only 10 pounds,

He couldn't help but give Catherine a thumbs-up.

In less than a month, when the public resources departments in London and Oxford announced the lighting electricity bill, ordinary citizens would definitely try to change the light bulbs.

It was unknown how much money they could make in the short term, but the new company, which was valued at 600 million pounds as soon as it was established, would definitely double the value.

While William could make money, he also didn't need to fight and kill to drive the vampires out of London.

However, there were gains and losses.

This kind of pressing situation also made the vampires in Europe and America panic.

They didn't dare to come out during the day. If the cities all over the world were to change to energy-saving lamps with ultraviolet light,

They also didn't dare to come out at night. Would there be any room for survival in the future?

In mid-March, the light bulbs in London and Oxford were replaced. In less than half a month after they were put into use, all the vampires in the world who had reached the Grand Duke of the Blood Kindred,

Gathered in Budapest and had a meeting in Amelia's lair.

Not only did they have to discuss how to deal with the current survival challenges of the Blood Kindred, but they also had to discuss how to find a way for the Blood Kindred to be immune to ultraviolet light.

After discussing for a while, these vampires who had lived for hundreds, thousands, or even longer did not reach a consensus so easily.

After three days of arguing, there were only two results. One was to work hard to find a way to be immune to ultraviolet light.

The second was to spend a lot of money to develop a technology that was more advanced than William's energy-saving technology and fundamentally break William's technology monopoly.

This was to prevent the whole world from changing to energy-saving lamps with ultraviolet light in order to save money.

By the time William found out about this news, it was already the end of March.

Listening to Sunday's explanation, William shook his head helplessly. "These old ghosts are doing a good job of confidentiality."

"More than a dozen old ghosts with such high statuses are actually discussing things in a room that's only 20 square meters and can isolate any metal."

Seeing that William was just lowering his head in contemplation, Sunday couldn't help but remind him, "Sir, how do you plan to deal with the Blood Kindred announcing their existing energy-saving lamp technology to the world?"

"If they announce it, then announce it. Can you stop this kind of thing?" What's more, when the people of the Great Celestial Empire know that energy-saving lamps can earn a lot of foreign exchange,

"Without these old ghosts, the technology will be the same. In a few years, the whole world will use energy-saving lamps that cost less than a dollar."
