Chapter 329

It had not been long since the last time they met, and the efficiency of the Lex Financial Group was still very high. However, Adam did not think that there would be any good news. Moldo Hyperdimension invited him to discuss in person, but it was very likely that it was just to inform him that the negotiations had failed.

After arriving at the factory, the one waiting for him outside was still Victor The Mage. Looking at his expression, Adam knew that his guess was right.

Victor The Mage was not in a very good mood. "I'm sorry, Adam. The other towers in the consortium are not very optimistic about the new project you mentioned, and … the most important thing is … you know it. "

Adam followed him inside and said nonchalantly, "It's expected. So the real purpose of calling me here this time is to kick me out? "

"It's not like that. As long as you are still willing, no one will kick you out, but the contract and shares have to be re-signed. The tower owner and the representatives of the other Hyperdimensional mages are inside, so I won't be going in. "

Victor The Mage was embarrassed. The consortium's approach was too mercenary, and he was embarrassed to face Adam again.

After entering the room, there was a conference table in front of him. Moldo Hyperdimension was sitting at the head of the table, expressionless. Other than her, there were six other advanced mages. One of them was the dean of the Lex Mage Academy, Andre, whom he had met when he was still an apprentice. They stood up at the same time when they saw Adam, but before they could introduce themselves, Moldo Hyperdimension said bluntly, "Let's not waste time. Tell Adam your decision directly."

Moldo Hyperdimension used the word "your", which obviously showed that she was very dissatisfied with the consortium's decision this time.

The few of them swallowed all the pleasantries they had in their stomachs, and they did not dare to say anything to Moldo Super Dimensional. After looking at each other, Mage Andre said, "Adam, the contract you signed with Moldo Tower and the Lex Financial Group regarding the production and supply of electricity for civilian use, as well as the manufacturing and research of communicators, is about to expire. The financial group hopes that you can sign a new contract to better distribute the shares."

Electricity for civilian use, a project that no one had been optimistic about in the past, was now dozens of times more profitable than the communicator.

On Earth, after Nikola Tesla invented alternating current, he gave up his patent rights and chose to make it available to the world for free. However, in the world of mages, Adam was not so generous. He was the owner of all electricity-related patents. Not only did he have shares in the existing power company, but he also had to pay a certain amount of patent fees for every unit of electricity sold.

In other words, there were other alternative sources of energy in the Mage World. Otherwise, Adam might have been the richest ordinary Mage.

Hearing Wizard Andre's words, Adam asked, "I'd like to hear the consortium's opinion first."

"We worked out a plan together."

When Andre said this, Moldo Hyperdimension snorted loudly. The Wizard then said as if nothing had happened, "For civilian use, we can convert your shares into cash. However, the existing power plant and company will have nothing to do with you. Of course, we will still pay the patent fees as usual. This is guaranteed by the Holy Tower. No one will dare to go against it."

Adam could actually understand their approach. The benefits were right in front of them. They had always been in charge of setting up the factory, marketing, and so on. They could accept paying the patent fees, but the large amount of shares that Adam held made them feel very uncomfortable. It was as if they were raising a greedy demon who reaped without sowing.

In this regard, there was no need to be impulsive. It was inevitable that he would withdraw his shares, or not hold any shares in the new power plant in the future. Collecting the patent fees would be enough to make him a lot of money. There was no need to be overly greedy.

Moreover, the series of electricity patents were now exclusive. In the future, he could collect patent fees from the entire Mage World. Once there was a breakthrough in the research of nuclear energy, the current power plant might be cut down before it could reach its peak.

Just when he was about to agree, Moldo Hyperdimension said coldly, "I will keep Adam's shares in the power plant under my name."

Andre said helplessly, "This is your right." Then he turned to Adam and asked, "Adam, do you have any objections?"

"I agree, but there is one thing. The value of my shares must be calculated according to the previous market value."

Andre nodded, "Of course. The second matter is about the communicator. Adam, the financial group believes that the current communicator is enough to satisfy the daily needs of most mages, and there is no need to upgrade it further. We have understood your idea, and we all agree that the possibility of adoption is very low. Mages will not be willing to have a foreign object enter their soul and body, so we hope that you can consider it carefully.

Seeing that Adam did not speak, he added another bargaining chip, "The Rex Financial Group has reached an agreement with the other trading partners of the Holy Tower. As long as you agree, the position of the chief will still be reserved for you, but your shares will have to be diluted appropriately."

"There is no need. This part of the shares can be cashed in the same way. I will withdraw from this industry after the contract ends."

There was nothing to consider about this. Adam had made up his mind. After the M language matured, the original version of the personal chip would be produced quickly. Once the functions that he had envisioned before, especially the big data reading and cloud computing, the old communicator might be eliminated directly.

As for whether the mages would accept this, Adam believed that the Holy Tower and the Mage Parliament would be willing to vouch for Adam after seeing the benefits that the chip could bring to the mages. At most, they would add some clauses to restrict the developer's authority. Adam did not care at all. He did not want to use this thing to rule the world.

— — —

The conversation came to an end. Adam could see that Moldo Hyperdimension seemed to want to say something, but she did not say anything in the end.

Adam did not say anything. To be honest, as long as it did not violate the contract, he could accept it. The consortium had invested a lot, but the harvest was not small. After the contract ended, it was up to both parties whether to renew it or not.

As for the part of the shares that Moldo Hyperdimension chose to keep, Adam was sure that she would get double the return in the future.

After leaving the factory, Adam returned to the laboratory to continue perfecting the M language. This work was now the most important. After it was fully formed, the writing of the operating system was not difficult.

A month later, the M language was basically formed. There was also good news from the war trial. The construction method of the Brain Demon and the ancient magic applied to it were given to Adam by Prisia Super Dimensional as a reward for inviting Adam to help this time, free of charge.
