Arcane Lord

"Lord Haran, I just thought of a new plan that is beneficial to both sides in Sevinton. Of course, this plan will not affect our current transaction. As for whether to cooperate or not, it is up to Lord Haran to decide on his own. ."

"What's the plan? Lord Chateau, please say—" Charles Harlan's expression remained unchanged, pretending to be calm.

His family knows his own affairs, and he can't ask for the cooperation with Lord Xia Duo, but he will not show it on the face.

"Ha ha!"

Xia Duo smiled slightly, and took out a communication artifact produced by the Tower of Time from the portable space. It was a palm-sized, slightly misty transparent crystal ball with a faintly luminous emblem of the Tower of Time.

He held this crystal ball and asked Haran: "Lord Haran, have you seen this?"

"Of course I have seen it, and I have one myself! I think there are very few people in Sevinton who don't know the Tower of Time communication artifact! This is the cooperation that Lord Shaduo wants to talk about?"

To say so, but Charles Harlan is very clear that the communication artifacts of the Tower of Time have always been sold by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and he has not heard of any contradictions between the two parties. How could such a stable cooperative relationship be due to him? Change?

"Lord Haran is not anxious. The cooperation I said is not a communication artifact, but it is also related to a communication artifact. I use this communication artifact as an example, just to illustrate the production capacity of the Tower of Time!"

"Production capacity?"

Lord Haran pondered for a while, as if thinking of something, all the mists dispersed, he managed to control his excited heart, and asked calmly:

"Lord Xia Duo imagined that he cooperated with me in the Demon Slaying Arrow business like he was cooperating with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to communicate the magic weapon? No! Is it the Demon Slayer Talisman?"

Maybe he didn't even notice, there was a clear tremor in his words at the moment.

Xia Duo noticed this, but didn't care too much. He didn't think about threatening or defrauding the other party or talking about cooperation. If the other party disagrees with his request, it would be useless for the other party to cry and call his mother.

If the other party agrees, or even eagerly agrees, Xia Duo will not make wild demands. After all, the basis of cooperation is win-win, not unilateral exploitation.

Thinking in another way, if he encounters a situation where he is asking for prices, even if he is forced by the situation, he agrees at the time. When the situation reverses in the future, he will retaliate.

Or even if you do not retaliate, the cooperation itself will be a drag, so you must not maximize the benefits of the other party.

Our ancestors often said that "harmony is the most important thing". Putting aside those unpredictable philosophical speculations, they are actually talking about "cooperation and win-win".

The caster is selfish, but more rational, knowing how to reduce risks and how to get the most benefit. For those who don't know how to avoid risks, even if they gain momentum for a while, time will make them fall a lot.

Xia Duo has always been difficult to pursue the goal of maximizing interests. He has his own goals, so-called interests, and in many cases are his tools to achieve his goals.

Now that the Tower of Time has been transferred to the new system, the apprentice’s three-year contract has only gone one-third, but there are already signs of continuous promotion.

Not for anything else, even if it is for the placement of formal mages who are about to be promoted, Xia Duo must work hard to bring those new mages into the normal operation of the system, not to leave them out, nor to let them drift out of the surface of the system.

Meeting with Lord Haran is a necessity. After all, he wanted to buy his manor and revealed information about the customization of fine magic items. However, Lord Haran took out the Demon Slayer Arrow and the design drawings of the Demon Slayer Talisman. It was purely accidental. .

Xia Duo didn't know anything beforehand, and didn't have any predictions, but when the opportunity came before him, if he didn't seize it, could he still expect others to force it into his own hands?

…

"Lord Harlan, you guessed it right, what I want to talk to you about is the cooperation on the Talisman of Demon Slaughter!"

Xia Duo first responded to Lord Haran’s speculation, and then said: "I don’t know much about Haran, but you can also let me guess. I think it’s difficult for Haran to produce enough in a short time. Slaughter the magic amulet!"

The genuine Tumo amulet must be produced by a high-level mage. If there is no division of labor and coordination, a high-level mage is responsible for all the processes, so as long as there is a slight mistake in the middle, the previous work will be overturned.

If you want to produce enough magic-killing talisman in a short time, you need enough high-level mages to fight for probability and time!

But with the strength of Lord Haran, Xia Duo doubted how many high-level wizards Haran Ling could have now. If he was looking for outsiders, how many could he find? What's the price?

Charles Harlan trembled slightly in response to Chateau's speculation, but still pretended to be calm, but this situation was easy to investigate, and there was no point in concealing it here.

Then he thought about the cooperation mentioned by Lord Xia Duo, he only hesitated twice, and said truthfully: "Indeed, Haranling alone cannot complete all the production plans within the deadline."

In response, Chateau just nodded silently, knowing it in his heart, and said: "In this case, what does Lord Haran think of the Tower of Time undertaking part of the production contract?"

"Foundry?"

A glimmer of doubt flashed in Charles Harlan's eyes. At first, he thought Lord Chateau would ask to share the previous batch of orders he had received, but he didn't expect it to be only OEM.

Without an order, there is no pricing power. UU reading www.uukanshu.com must first have a discount on the revenue, and if OEM is used, the material premium cannot be earned. Why is that?

Regarding this, Xia Duo didn't explain too much, do you want him to say that this method can intercept scrapped Mithril? Or do you want him to say that the foundry cost of the Tower of Time is far cheaper than the labor cost that the other party understands?

But as far as the Tower of Time is concerned, there is not much energy available to purchase the materials for the Talisman of Slaying Demons. Instead of vacating the capital flow to earn the little benefit that has no essential improvement, it is better to concentrate on OEM!

For the general mage tower, the profit of OEM may not be as high as having the order, but for the tower of time, it is actually not less profitable than dividing the order directly.

This is actually similar to the mobile phone industry on the planet. The difference between a manufacturer that builds its own factory and a mobile phone foundry is that the former does not necessarily make the latter.

In particular, the latter's technology is constantly updated and iterated, which will only continue to expand the profit margin. Even if the situation is right one day, it is not impossible to make your own mobile phones to occupy the profits.

"Lord Harlan, don’t doubt, what I’m talking about is foundry. At present, all the resources of the Tower of Time are useful, and there is no new procurement plan in a short period of time. Let's pick up the prepared mage tower!"
