Chapter 33 Betting
"This..."
Alice's words made Rockefeller feel uncomfortable.
However, he had said it before.
If he went against it, what would others think of him and how would they think of Gringotts?
Gringotts was able to become the largest bank in Hopeland not only because of its strength but also because of its credibility.
This was something that could not be refused.
Rockefeller's expression became serious. He looked at Joss and nodded. "Okay!
"But..."
Halfway through his words, Rockefeller suddenly stopped.
"Sir Rockefeller, if you have any requests, just tell me. I will definitely do it."
Joss was extremely confident.
"Recklessly promoting online payment is an extremely risky thing, so I need a certain sample to refer to. It can also be used to convince others."
Rockefeller put forward his own request and added, "Within seven days, 10,000 people must become online payment users, and these users must be real users!"
This request was not too easy or too hard to achieve.
Hence, Joss immediately agreed.
At this time, the banquet officially began.
However, after what had just happened, most people were not in the mood to enjoy the delicious food.
They kept looking at the table where Joss was sitting, their eyes flashing. Many of them picked up their glasses filled with wine and walked toward Joss in the name of toasting, they made some suggestions for cooperation, "Master Joss, I wonder if you need any other partners, I think I can help you with the online payment."
Facing these people who came to him, Joss did not refuse them directly. Instead, he gave an ambiguous answer.
Beside Joss, Alice was sipping a snack. After seeing that no one came to talk to Joss, she reminded him, "Joss, it's best not to work with those people. If you still need money, you can look for me. I still have some pocket money."
The pocket money of the daughter of Gringotts was naturally not a small amount.
Joss smiled and nodded. "Okay, thanks."
The banquet passed by unwittingly during the conversation.
The banquet organized by Gringotts was not just a simple dinner. Talking about business was the real business.
Joss was also greatly broadened. He saw how the rich people of the magic world talked about business. It did not seem to be much different from those peddlers in the market. Once there was a disagreement, they would also curse.
Seeing Joss' shocked look, Alice immediately covered her mouth and snickered. From the moment she saw Joss, the Town Master of the Twin Towers had always been calm and collected. It was a rare thing to surprise Joss.
After the banquet ended, everyone left.
Joss did not leave with everyone. Instead, he was left behind by Rockefeller. Of course, there was a reason why Alice wanted him to stay a little longer, but the main reason was the online payment that they had talked about previously.
"Online payment, using the magic phone as a carrier to open an online bank and register the information..."
Rockefeller called the butler over and recorded the information that Joss had dictated. Then he took out a sheepskin scroll and signed a magic contract with Joss in the name of the gods.
After signing the contract, Rockefeller Thought for a while, he added, "If the contract is fulfilled, the split can be 70-30, and you 70-30. Also, when the time comes, I will mobilize the resources belonging to Gringotts to fully promote this online bank."
Joss would love that.
Rockefeller was not a modern man after all, and he could not predict the future of online payments, the original 50-50 split was changed by him to 70-30. The extra would be more than enough to buy a few of the existing Gringotts.
It was late at night when Joss left the banquet hall, opened a portal, and headed straight back to the Twin Towers.
In the banquet hall.
Rockefeller sat on the chair and read the information recorded by the butler word by word. After a long while, he sighed heavily. "I underestimated him after all. First, it was the magic phone, then the online payment... They're all systematic. The younger generation is awesome!"
"Master, isn't this a little exaggerated?"
"Exaggerated? No, it's not. Joss is building his own empire now!"
Rockefeller's gaze was distant as he gave a shocking evaluation.
The next day.
Twin Mage Towers.
After Joss returned from the banquet, he sorted out all the details about the online payment, and this process took an entire night.
Staying up late was only normal for mages.
It was nothing for a Grand Magus. With the support of a huge amount of spiritual energy, even if he did not sleep for a month, it would not affect Joss.
After sending out the message for the meeting, Joss went straight to the meeting hall and sat down.
Not long after, everyone arrived.
Joss first looked at Marn and Neil, and asked, "Have you tried the World Wide Magic Web? How is the effect?"
"Sir, this is simply a miracle!" The two of them said excitedly.
However, the others looked at each other and felt ridiculous. Even if they wanted to curry favor, there was no need to be so exaggerated.
Joss did not explain too much and only nodded. He already understood that the trial was going smoothly. Otherwise, the two of them definitely wouldn't be like this.
After the pilot project was successfully established, they could gradually set up the World Wide Magic Web.
At the same time, they could promote online banking and online payment.
After briefly explaining the news, Gray was given the task of promoting the project. After all, this was Gray's old line of work.
Unknowingly, more than half of the meeting had passed.
Other than online banking, there weren't any other major events.
"Oh, right. Marn, Neil, connect the other members' magic phones to the Internet."
The two nodded.
Joss looked at the other members who were confused and gave an order, "When you go back, experience the World Wide Magic Web. If there is anything that needs improvement, record it and collect it at the next meeting."
Only a few people knew about the World Wide Magic Web. Joss did not want to release the news so soon. At the very least, he had to wait for the twin towers to occupy enough resources.
After the meeting was announced, everyone scattered.
Joss also returned to his residence and informed Vera who was reading a magic book. He entered the training room and prepared to go into seclusion.
Now that the system had accumulated a batch of invention points, they could be used for training.
However, things could not always be smooth sailing.
In the office of the Twin Towers.
Gray, who had accepted the publicity mission, sat in front of his desk and looked at the flyers that were scattered on the desk. He was dejected.
