As a painter, how should I face the original heroine

"We didn't get the authorization from the designer, so we don't know where these cards came from."

Anastasia instinctively took two steps back, grasping her satchel tightly and forced to explain calmly.

"Is that so... a pirated version?"

Li Wei stopped her approaching steps, and looked thoughtfully at the other party's pretendingly firm eyes, there was no lie, just a little guilty conscience.

"Piracy? A very appropriate word. This is indeed a dishonorable practice, but the supply of cards on the market is in short supply. Our Hexin Chamber of Commerce's approach is only to enrich people's entertainment while earning due rewards. That's all."

Anastasia knew in her heart that her actions were actually helping the designer who didn't know the purpose to complete the plan, but now she could only pray that Li Wei didn't realize this, or wouldn't care about herself because of it.

"It's really a profiteer's rhetoric. The cards in circulation on the market are basically made by you, right? After careful observation, there are indeed some subtle differences. Is the quality control worse?"

Comparing the gold-plated cards he bet from the black market with the hero cards he just won from other residents today, Li Wei found that the cards produced by the Hexin Chamber of Commerce were of inferior quality.

"So as the lady said, we didn't start this incident, we just wanted to make money!"

Mimi still dare not let down her vigilance. Rumor has it that "King Owner" is moody, and maybe she will attack suddenly while chatting.

"Well... I'm not so narrow-minded, but I do have a proposal. I wonder if Miss He Xin is interested in hearing it. This is a big business that can monopolize the market."

Li Wei looked at the pirated cards in his hand, and suddenly thought of a solution to this conspiracy.

"Miss……"

"It's okay, honey. As long as it's a profitable business, I have no reason to refuse. Mr. Leviathan please come inside, we need to go to the secret room to discuss important matters."

Anastasia rubbed the head of the cat-eared Lolita, and invited Li Wei.

The top floor of the Hexin Hotel is reserved for the Iron Fangs. Surrounded by mercenaries, this is a good place for secret talks.The cat-eared loli served hot dishes to Li Wei with a face full of reluctance, and stood obediently behind the master, always vigilant about the magician's movements.

"Then Mr. Leviathan, what exactly do you mean by business? If you want to temporarily cooperate between our two candidate camps, then there is no need, because no matter how you look at it, we are the one that loses money."

Seeing all the cat-eared triplets in place, and Lidoka, the most powerful mercenary captain, Anastasia's confidence suddenly became solid.

"Based on the comparison of our strengths, there is no need to form an alliance, but it is still possible to talk about business. Has Ms. He Xin removed the pirated logo on her body and became the genuine chamber of commerce that released "War of the King's Choice"?"

Li Wei put two identical hero cards on the wooden round table and pushed them in front of the girl at the same time.

"Mr. Leviathan can just call me Anna. I don't know what you mean by becoming a genuine version?"

Anastasia took a sip of black tea leisurely, looked at the magician in front of her, and asked curiously. She had only just come into contact with these new words, but with her extraordinary business talent, she quickly understood the meaning.

Chapter 212 The method of countering the mastermind behind the scenes and the greedy girl

"As you can see, I have a lot of headaches because of these cards flowing out of the black market. Just adding a few more lines on it can change the direction of the entire king's election among the bottom civilians, but the designer is like someone hiding in a sewer There was no trace of it like a mouse."

Li Wei pointed at the seemingly objective but actually private comments on the card and continued:

"It's better to let the Hexin Chamber of Commerce replace the mastermind behind the design of the "War of the King's Choice", eliminate those 'pirated' cards from the market, and ban them from circulation in the name of genuine."

"It's very difficult to do. Even if the shipment volume of our Hexin Chamber of Commerce is much larger than that of the other party, as long as it takes a long time, someone will realize that the ones coming out of the black market are genuine. What new cards will they make later? , we can only follow behind and imitate it, acting as an accomplice in disguise."

Anastasia frowned when she said this. Although it was all about making money, it didn't feel good to be used as a gunman, and if it caused other candidate camps to attack, it would be more harm than good.

"Actually, we only need to let people realize that the cards produced by the Hexin Chamber of Commerce are the genuine copies of "War of the King's Choice", and the rest are inferior products made by self-entertainment, and all problems will be solved."

Li Wei said that he used a quill to draw the emblem of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce on the back of Kaka, the hero of Anastasia, and put a cross on the cards from other black markets.

"Since Mr. Leviathan said so, there must be an implementation plan?"

Anastasia asked with a smile, trying to take the opportunity to figure out the plan the other party was talking about, so as to gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations.

"Of course, but before that, you need to agree to one of my conditions."

"Please tell me, if it's not too harsh, everything is negotiable."

Having no choice to answer simply, Anastasia just replied ambiguously, this is her instinct as an excellent businessman.

"In the future, I will design all the cards produced by the Hexin Chamber of Commerce. Since the mastermind behind the scenes can use it to manipulate public opinion, it is also quite good to promote it to Lord Emilia."

As early as at the entrance of the hotel, Li Wei had already thought of a way to deal with the black hand behind the scenes. Wouldn't it be good if bad money drove out good money?And with the card surface designed by a professional artist like him, it can definitely crush the original card.

"Do you think I will agree to such a condition of being an enemy?"

Although Emilia is an unfavorable candidate just like herself, it doesn't mean that Anastasia will be willing to give up even a little more chance of winning.

"Actually, Miss Anna, you should also be very clear about your situation. No matter in terms of reputation, background, or strength, you are not good enough to compete for the throne. You must know that the previous royal family was wiped out, even if Miss Anna can ascend to the throne. , How long do you think you can sit still? Rather than incurring unnecessary losses, it is better to make money more realistically."

Li Wei's words are not unreasonable. Judging from the plot in the original book, Anastasia is not really keen on making money for the throne. She knows that Duke Crusch's successful crusade against the white whale will greatly increase his reputation. But she still chose to sell weapons and equipment to the other party.

"Mimi and the leader will protect Miss Hao!"

The cat-eared loli retorted dissatisfiedly that, in her opinion, Li Wei was humiliating the "Iron Fang" mercenary group responsible for protecting the lady.

"Hehe... Now you have only two choices, continue to be an accomplice of the mastermind behind the scenes, and then be eliminated by other candidate camps. Or successfully monopolize the market with my help, how about it? How do you think about it?"

Ignoring the rebuttal of the little girl (who is actually an adult), Li Wei continued to persuade the girl persuasively.

"Mr. Leviathan, you are really as good at persuading people as the rumors say, I agree. But before the result of the king's election comes out, I will not give up fighting for the throne. As long as I haven't lost my life, I can touch and grasp it. , it will all become mine.”

Anastasia, who once had nothing, never knew what "satisfaction" was. As long as there was still a breath left, she would do her best to get everything.

"It's really greedy... I wish you good luck, Miss Anna, so let's listen to my plan now."

In Li Wei's view, the girl has reached a certain point of obsession, but it has nothing to do with her. Even if she is drowned by the holy gold coin in the end, that is her choice.

"Aren't you going to make a contract in black and white first? I can lie and deceive."

"Words are just a medium. When trading with the devil, the contract has already come into force from the moment you agree."

This is a magic similar to Yanling. Illya has used it on Emiya Shirou before. This trick is very effective against ordinary people who have almost zero magic power, so Li Wei is not worried about the other party's breach of contract, so He picked up the card and continued to explain to Anastasia:

"If we want to completely monopolize the market, the first problem we need to solve is how to show our legitimacy. The Hexin Chamber of Commerce can produce a set of cards with the signatures and authorizations of other candidate camps to promote itself as a genuine producer, and Print the chamber of commerce emblem on the card as an identification mark to distinguish 'piracy'."

Anastasia was silent for a moment, and raised three fingers to raise her own question after digesting Li Wei's plan.

"Mr. Leviathan, I have three questions. First, our five candidate camps are theoretically hostile. How to get their signatures? Second, there are not so many cards with the badge of the Indian Chamber of Commerce on the market. Even if there is wear and tear in daily use, it will take a long time to be eliminated. In the end, the mastermind behind the scenes only needs to print the logo of the Hexin Chamber of Commerce on the newly produced cards. Isn’t it still circulating? Their purpose is Manipulating public opinion and making money is just incidental, and it doesn’t matter whether it’s genuine or pirated.”

"Miss Anna really deserves to be a business genius who was able to acquire and establish the Hexin Chamber of Commerce from scratch. She can see so many disadvantages and problems in a short period of time. But since I proposed this plan, there is naturally a solution."

Li Wei applauded sincerely, but it's a pity that he had already thought about what the other party could think of.

"The first problem is easy to solve. Miss Anna only needs to be responsible for collecting the signatures of her own camp, and leave the rest to me to solve."

"Oh? Is Mr. Leviathan cooperating with the other three camps?"

Anastasia was a little surprised. According to her investigation in the capital, Leviathan should have never been in or out of the mansions of the above-mentioned candidates.
