Chapter 392: Change your mind

Xia Duo saw the contract of the Tower of Time, which was similar to the way of placing an order. The Tower of Time placed the order in the current period, and the Chamber of Commerce provided the goods in the next period.
If there is a loophole, it probably means that the Tower of Time has no so-called "priority".
In fact, it is not that those chambers of commerce are unwilling to sell to Savills and the Tower of Time, because doing so is a breach of contract, and they should be "out of stock"!
He verified his guess to Abbock, and Abbock nodded, "Someone has packaged the output of these chambers of commerce at a price higher than the market price. The price is so high that you don’t need to send it so far. Choose to deal with it nearby, after all, the Chamber of Commerce is to make money."
Xia Duo was silent. In fact, he prefers the fixed-share procurement method. Many suppliers may be able to suppress prices. Now this method of placing orders is too unstable.
And from the emergence of this procurement method, Chateau speculated that there might have been a mage tower undergoing changes. Thinking of this, he asked Ebbock,
Did the prices of magic items, especially magic scrolls, continue to fall over the years?

"The price has fallen?" Ebbke didn't know Chateau's guess, but not long ago, he was the material manager of the Tower of Time and was very sensitive to the price of magic items.
I didn't think it before, but someone specifically mentioned it, and he immediately reacted, "It is true, how do you know?"
it is as expected!
For a time, Xia Duo's thinking diverged again, and it seemed that Netheril was not only in a period of great territorial expansion, but also in a critical period of transformation of production relations.
Reminiscent of [Misser Energy Core], which has never heard of the wind, perhaps this era is the beginning of Netheril's "Long Aotian" counterattack.
So how will the elves react?
"think too much!"
Xia Duo shook his head. Those things weren't what he needed to consider now, so he still set his sights right now.
The Tower of Time is like a factory that is about to suspend production due to the loss of raw material supply, but at the same time, the Tower of Time also functions as a place of consumption.
Once those mages who are "workers" lose their income, even if they have some savings, in the long run, how can they afford the services provided by the Tower of Time?
The mage needs knowledge to improve himself, and the tower of time needs a mage to maintain a certain influence, and the two sides are interdependent.
To some extent, the interests are aligned.
Once the Tower of Time cannot provide job opportunities, or the job opportunities provided are not enough for the mages to stably gain knowledge, but become a unilateral output, then this relationship will not be stable.
Perhaps by then, the mages will leave.
The Tower of Time does not have a mage, so how much influence can a single mage tower have!
Not to mention anything else, the Austrian Law Federation alone will reduce the Mithril share of the Tower of Time. When the time comes, the Tower of Time may not even be able to do basic maintenance.
So the most important thing now is to get the raw materials?
Xia Duo looked at Cecily, the material supervisor of a low-level mage, "Cecilia, how many raw materials are there in the Tower of Time? How long can it last?"
"Because the restoration project of the Tower of Time slowed down later, but what was consumed could not be restored. Later, it was replenished, but it was still insufficient, so-the current materials can only last for less than a month!"
"Can you go directly to Seventon to purchase and sell? Bring more dimension bags!"
"Of course you can, but the gains you have to make a trip to do not justify the maintenance of the teleportation circle!"
"Is it still damaged?!"
Well, Xia Duo actually knew it, but he just wanted to complain about this immortal magic circle that needs to be maintained! Shouldn't it be used forever after being built once!
What "reality" likes most is "unsatisfactory"!
Because the purchased raw materials cannot be completely transformed into sellable magical items, the Tower of Time has insufficient funds, and it is not possible to make a purchase at a time. It is not necessary to go out for a whole year or even several years.
If they were all sold through the teleportation circle to Sevindun, perhaps in the end they wouldn't even be able to earn the teleportation circle maintenance fee.
Of course, there is another option to "transport human flesh" by the arcanist Ebbock. This is obviously unrealistic. One time or two may be feasible, but time after time, who has such a big face to make an arcanist When is the "human transporter"?
In fact, in the final analysis, the influence of the Tower of Time is not enough, otherwise, it would not be a problem even to organize ordinary people's chamber of commerce to purchase in Sewenton.
But then again, if the influence is enough, there will be no such troubles.
Xia Duo sighed softly, "By the way, did Niya send any news back? Also, did those chambers of commerce say who bought the raw materials this time?"
He had reason to suspect that Rodney had just left a priest of Cole, and the raw materials of the Tower of Time were cut off. How could it be such a coincidence that Priest Cole’s ship was only three days away from Rod. Nielin is still far away, but you must know that there is still magic communication in this world!
"No. Niya did not return news, nor did the chambers of commerce mention the identity of the purchaser~EbookFREE.me~ Abbock's answer disappointed Chateau, but did not say anything.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo felt that it was necessary to do something, "Contact those chambers of commerce to see if they can renew the contract and replace it with a fixed share contract. I think the person in charge of these chambers in Savile will still be inclined to this , If they are intercepted at the source, how will their performance come from? I think they should be very impatient now!"
Chardonnay still knows something about the chambers of commerce in this world. Unlike the complete corporate organization on earth, the chambers of commerce here are somewhat similar to franchise stores.
The club president’s wealth is largely tied to the club’s performance. Of course, the Tower of Time’s contract is signed with the club, but orders and performance are still counted in the club.
After all, the relevant handover is done by the branch.
Once these orders are lost, a sharp drop in revenue is inevitable. Who will have trouble with his own money!
And the reason why these branch presidents can become branch presidents in one place is definitely related in the general meeting. If they can influence the general meeting through these branch presidents, perhaps this trouble will no longer be a trouble.
Instead, it will become an opportunity for the transformation of the Tower of Time.
Ebbock also agrees with Chateau’s judgments,
Mayor Thain mentioned that those in charge of the chamber of commerce spoke a little bit fiercely, and now I think it’s not directed at Saville.

"Since you feel the same way, tell Derrick to have a good talk with them later, even for those chambers of commerce, how can a temporary high price acquisition compare to a long-term stable fixed income!"
"Well, it's just the funds for the Tower of Time--" Abbock hesitated again when it came to the conversion contract.
But Chateau directly decided, "I think it is necessary for the Tower of Time to change my mind!"
