Chapter 31 Dinner Party
The land of the flying spirits.
This was what the outside world called the residence of Gringotts.
This was a small piece of land located in the middle of the great mage towers. Compared to the vast territory of the mage towers, it was insignificant. However, the power it represented was something no one dared to underestimate.
When Joss arrived, the time was just right.
He just opened the portal to the gate, took out the invitation card Alice sent and handed it to the attendant guarding the gate.
"Respected Town Master of the Twin Towers, please come in!"
The attendant said respectfully, his body also emitting strong mana fluctuations.
With Joss' current strength as a Grand Magus, with just a glance, he confirmed that the attendant in front of him was in fact a high-level mage, and was not far from being a Magister.
"He really has a lot of money..."
Joss could not help but mutter about the wealth of Gringotts.
Not long after, Joss entered the banquet hall under the guidance of the attendant.
"Space Stone!"
Joss was envious once again.
What a rich man!
A banquet hall that was used for gatherings actually used dozens of space stones to expand the space.
However, this was also normal.
Compared to the usual space expansion array, using space stones was not only more stable but also did not require frequent maintenance. However, the cost of using space stones to expand the space was more than a hundred times that of the array.
At this moment, a large number of people had arrived in the banquet hall.
Joss found a relatively quiet place and quietly waited for the banquet to begin.
At this moment, there was a crash.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
A series of metallic clangs rang out. Those were gold coins that were continuously being scattered from the magic pockets of a rich old man.
"Oh, no!"
The rich old man kept exclaiming in surprise. It was not because his gold coins were being dropped, but because this sudden accident made him feel embarrassed in front of everyone.
His prediction soon came true.
Immediately, someone mocked, "Frank, your recklessness is still the same as before. You have to show off wherever you go!"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone also laughed.
Frank's face immediately turned red. He kept on cursing and explaining, "Hmph! I just forgot that the banquet hall of Gringotts is made of Space Stones. It can't repel other space-type creations."
"Oh yeah? You're just careless."
The person who spoke earlier obviously did not get along with Frank, so he spoke again.
Fortunately, the farce ended quickly.
Immediately, a servant came out with a broom and swept up all the scattered gold coins on the ground. After cleaning them up, he handed them back to Frank.
"No need."
Frank directly refused, "This is the reward for cleaning up my mess."
The servant was instantly grateful, "Thank you, sir, for your generosity!"
Frank did not continue to pay attention.
For those who could attend this banquet, such a small amount of gold coins was insignificant.
As Joss watched this scene, he was deep in thought.
At the last meeting, he had decided on the first concrete strategy after the establishment of the World Wide Magic Web, which was to vigorously develop online payment.
Now, it seemed that it was necessary.
In the Hopeland Continent, metallic currency was the mainstream, but in the face of large transactions, the huge amount of metallic currency was also a headache.
Not only because of the weight but also because of the difficulty of counting.
Gringotts was the largest bank in Hopeland. Although they provided checks and only needed to hold a check to exchange for money, to exchange, they needed to go to Gringotts, and only an extremely large amount of money supported the use of checks.
For ordinary people, it was actually no different.
There was a chance for online payment.
Just as Joss was thinking, Alice was wearing a gorgeous evening dress, revealing her fair skin and exquisite collarbone. She walked toward Joss and said with a smile, "Mr. Joss, why are you sitting here?"
"Joss?"
"Which Joss?"
"Which Joss? It must be the Town Master of the Twin Towers, the youngest Grand Magus of the Hopeland Continent! Joss!"
She caused an uproar!
Alice's words instantly caused everyone's gazes to turn toward Joss.
The people attending the banquet all stepped forward with smiles on their faces. One by one, they greeted, "Tower Master Joss, I'm from the Heavenly Cloud Chamber of Commerce..."
"Tower Master Joss, I'm from the Magic Academy..."
Joss responded one by one.
"Mr. Joss, may I ask if I can invest in the Twin Towers' magic mobile phone business?" Someone suddenly asked.
The entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent. This was something that everyone was concerned about.
One had to know that the profits of magic phones were making countless people jealous. However, Joss was a Grand Magus with great strength. No one dared to use other shady methods.
"Haha.
"Since everyone has such thoughts, the Twin Towers will naturally not refuse to cooperate. Of course, there are other projects in the Twin Towers. Everyone can cooperate with each other."
Joss did not directly agree.
The magic mobile phone business was an important pillar of the Twin Towers' economy. If others wanted to join in, naturally, Joss would not agree.
However, it was also impossible to completely refuse.
Cooperation. It did not have to be the core business of the mobile phone. Didn't he also work very happily with Rhode and Tucker?
When they received Joss' reply, everyone's faces immediately showed a smile. As long as they did not firmly refuse, then there was an opportunity!
Of course, they knew how to seize the opportunity.
The sounds of conversation rang out once again. Just as the banquet was about to officially begin, the host finally appeared.
"Pavilion Master Rockefeller!"
Everyone respectfully greeted him.
Joss also followed the crowd, but he was secretly observing the Pavilion Master of Gringotts. Unlike Alice's naivety, Rockefeller was calm and steady, and his eyes were gentle.
However, the faint fierce aura behind him reminded Joss that this man was not as simple as he appeared to be. He was a fierce tiger who knew how to act.
'Perhaps, I can work well with him.' Joss thought.
The promotion of the World Wide Magic Web would inevitably meet with all kinds of obstacles, but no matter what, it had to be pushed out. Joss did not want his collaborator to give up halfway.
On the other side, Rockefeller was also sizing up Joss.
He had heard a little about Joss before, and after the appearance of the magic communication phone, Joss' name often appeared in his ears.
It seemed that his reputation was well-deserved.
Both of them evaluated each other in their hearts.
Then, Rockefeller reached out his hand and said at the same time, "As expected of a young genius. Master Joss is so young, but he can have such achievements."
"Thank you for your compliment."
Joss tried his best to be polite as well.
"Haha!" Rockefeller laughed loudly, his eyes showing approval, and then said, "If you encounter any trouble in the future or lack of funds, feel free to come to me! Also, the appearance of the magic phone can be said to have saved Alice's life. I can agree to a request of yours, any request is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was filled with envy.
That was a favor from Gringotts!
Under everyone's astonished gazes, Joss directly said, "Master Rockefeller, I do have a request."
