Chapter 34 Minimal Effect
"Gray, you called me. What happened again?"
Charles walked in with a smile.
During this period of time, magic phones had been selling like hotcakes. Seeing the gold coins continuously entering the financial treasury of the twin towers, his mood was extremely happy.
Gray glanced at him and said bluntly, "At the last meeting, Joss asked me to be in charge of the promotion of online payment, but there was a problem with the promotion."
"A problem?"
"How is this possible? As long as they have experienced it, there's no way they could refuse this kind of payment method. It's so convenient and safe."
Charles firmly refused to believe it.
After the magic phone that Marn gave him was connected to the internet, he experienced the World Wide Magic Web and also tried to use the phone's software to pay online.
He swore that he had never experienced such a magical experience.
He only needed a magic phone to be able to handle most of the affairs.
"That's the problem!"
Gray's voice became urgent as he knocked on the table. "We installed online banking in the magic phones in the experience shop. There are indeed many people who are curious and have experienced it.
"However, the World Wide Magic Web has not been fully opened, and the functions of online banking can not be fully displayed. This undoubtedly makes online payment much less attractive."
Charles nodded.
This was indeed a problem, but this was not the main reason.
"They still don't believe it?"
"Yes, Charles. I even have a little doubt that what they said is right. The development of the Twin Towers is too fast, so fast that it's unacceptable to everyone."
Gray was a little discouraged.
This time, it was not a matter of publicity.
The streets and alleys of the Twin Towers were all talking about the new online payment function, but despite the heated discussion, not many people actually chose to believe it.
Money, in hand, was reassuring.
And the so-called online banking was just a string of virtual numbers, which could disappear at any time.
"How about we arrange some of our own people and register for an online bank to use?"
Charles suggested.
Gray's face changed, and he sternly refused, "Charles, this is cheating. If you violate the contract, you'll definitely be punished by the gods!"
Charles' face also changed. He had not thought of this just now.
When he was explaining the matters related to the online payment, Joss also told him about the contract with Rockefeller.
The contract in the magic world was not like the contract in the real world. As long as it was not known by outsiders, it could be faked in secret to reach a contract.
The contract that was signed would be watched by the god of contract.
No one knew who the god of contract was, but those who dared to violate it was deemed to be dead.
At the same time.
Scorpio Mage Tower.
Tucker had been living quite comfortably during this period of time.
Especially after he sold the original Scorpio phone to the Twin Towers along with the factory, the Twin Towers opened many factories one after another, which brought him a lot of extra income.
"Marshal Tucker, there's new news from the Twin Towers."
"What news?"
"The Twin Towers have launched new software that has a completely different function. It's called online banking."
"Online banking?"
Tucker muttered. He could not figure out what this thing was.
He looked at the person who reported and waved his hand. "Let's talk about it briefly."
"Online banking means that as long as you deposit money into it, you can use the attached QR code to make payments without carrying cash."
"What?"
"Isn't this just a scam?"
Tucker immediately mocked. Only a fool would ask someone to deposit real money and then call over a string of numbers!
However, now that they were working together with the Twin Towers, Tucker did not belittle them too much. He only criticized, "In the future, you don't have to tell me such rubbish news."
Compared to Tucker's gentleness, the people from the other mage towers gathered together and laughed heartily, mocking them mercilessly.
"Tsk, tsk.. Joss really thinks everyone is a fool. To think that he could come up with something like online payment!"
"That's right!"
Someone agreed, then, he laughed coldly. "The last time, it was just because the Twin Towers were not strong enough. I could not bear to see magical communication devices disappear because of the lack of promotion, so I proposed a collaboration. Moreover, I only bought shares and did not participate in the production. In the end, I was scolded."
"Who isn't?"
"This time, Joss played everyone as fools. There will definitely be a backlash."
The other Town Masters of the mage towers also spoke up.
All of this was due to jealousy.
Joss did not know about the comments from the outside world. He was in closed-door training, but Gay and the others were scratching their heads.
Especially since there were all kinds of rumors.
"Gray, pull yourself together!" Charles patted Gray's shoulder.
Other than Charles, everyone else arrived, including almost all the high-ranking officials of the Twin Towers.
"Charles, I'm already pulling myself together. But now there's a new situation. If this continues, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Twin Towers."
Everyone knew what Gray said.
However, this time, it was obvious that someone was secretly adding fuel to the fire.
As for who it was, everyone knew.
However, because they knew clearly, they had no way. It was impossible for them to screen the residents of the Twin Towers one by one and then drive out the spies placed in the other mage towers.
"How about this."
Fran suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention, "We can try the most primitive method, directly setting up a stall on the economic street of the Twin Towers and selling it to others. Although it's a little stupid, it might have a miraculous effect."
"We can try!"
Everyone thought for a moment and agreed with Fran's suggestion.
Soon, the stall was set up.
However, when they heard about online payment, many people turned around and left on the spot, even though they promised that as long as they installed it, they would be able to get some small gifts.
Although some of them installed it under the temptation of the gifts, they also deleted the online banking software after they got the gifts, obviously not intending to continue using it.
This scene was seen by everyone.
"The effect was minimal, and they came back empty-handed!"
Charles made a concise evaluation.
"Could it be that we can only wait for Joss to make a move?" Gray felt indignant.
In this way, did this prove that they were just a bunch of freeloaders?
Everyone looked embarrassed, but this was the reality.
Helplessly, they tried other ideas, but the effect was still minimal. Even the rumors spread out more and more.
The whole situation was showing signs of losing control.
Charles and the others could only choose to stabilize the situation first. As for the publicity, they could only wait for Joss to come out.
