Chapter 736: 2 modes, cover cost


In terms of understanding the overall situation of Netheril, Xia Duo is definitely inferior to a large chamber of commerce such as the Seven Towers or the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, but since he can smell some signs, then the production line on the Tower of Time can be fully started. Up.
  Of course, it is necessary to maintain close contact with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce in order to keep an eye on market trends and adjust production.
   Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt a little in his heart. Although he believed that all kinds of magical items, including communication magical instruments, would become popular in the future, no one can guarantee that they would not fall one second before dawn!
   can see the action of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce and the Seven Pagodas, he believes that he has stood on the general trend, rather than the so-called "few people who have mastered the truth"!
   "Cytos, I don't know how your Mingshui Chamber of Commerce acquires the relevant communication tools and learning scrolls of [Mowang Background Newsletter]?"
   Hearing Lord Chateau’s inquiry about the acquisition of communication instruments and learning scrolls, Setosun’s eyes lighted up. He knew that his performance was coming, so he quickly introduced:
"Lord Chateau, the Chamber of Commerce mentioned two trading methods. One is that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce issues an order, and the Tower of Time completes the order. This is the easiest way to pay for both money and goods, but the price can only be accepted by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. Quote
"The other is a little bit troublesome. The price can be determined by the Tower of Time. It's just that the sale of magic items is risky. We will only pay part of the purchase price. After the goods are sold, we will pay the other purchase price. , The goods will be returned to the Tower of Time intact."
  The specific transaction details are certainly not that simple, but after all, Xia Duo traveled from a developed business environment like the earth. After all, he has absorbed and understood a lot of business-related knowledge and skills.
   The two methods mentioned by Setos are placed on the earth, in fact, they are similar to commissioned production and agency.
   In the first way, the risks are all in the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, but the other party is not a philanthropist. It is conceivable that their offer will be lower.
   As for the second method, it is actually the agency model that Xia Duo originally considered. It can maximize the benefits, but at the same time the risk will be higher, and it is mainly borne by the Tower of Time. The Mingshui Chamber of Commerce is pure profit.
   The output of the Tower of Time in the past was mainly sold through the first method, which is also the most common way of Netheril, where money and goods are sold and sold with one hammer.
   Originally, Xia Duo was planning to recommend the agency model to the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, the main risk is the Tower of Time. I did not expect that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce had already prepared in advance.
  The agency model requires the strong party to have a relatively high degree of integrity. After all, from the nature of commercial profitability, almost any strong party needs to do so.
   If it were not for the good reputation of Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, Xia Duo would not even think of any agency model.
Of course, for some little-known small chambers of commerce, the Tower of Time may have the upper hand, turning the party who holds down the payment from an agent into a Tower of Time, but the small chamber of commerce does not necessarily have such a risk. The confidence.
   After all, although Netheril is dominated by order, it does not rule out the existence of some who want to make trouble.
   How much strength and how big a business you do, this is the most basic rule of businessmen in this world. People who don't know what they can do often don't end well.
  ……
Now that the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce had thought of the agency model, Xia Duo didn't need to bother to explain. At the same time, he had already decided to let the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce act as the agent for the communication artifacts of the Tower of Time, and even the new mass production magic in the future. article.
   However, he still wanted to hear the price quoted by Mingshui Chamber of Commerce for commissioned production, so he asked: "The first transaction method, how much is Mingshui Chamber of Commerce quoted?"
   "This depends on the specific appraisal results. The Chamber of Commerce has sent an appraiser to Savile to collect it. If everything goes well, it should be there in more than ten days."
   "More than ten days?"
   Xia Duo thought that more than ten days later, a group of ships from Sevinton should arrive at Savile, and there are more than 1,000 new people on it!
   Of course, these fleets are not specifically for transporting the leaders for him, but for picking up the elves.
   In addition, from the words of Setos, Xia Duo probably guessed that even if it is commissioned, it is not a standard plan by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, but the Tower of Time is produced by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
   A glimpse and knows the whole thing. Even the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce adopted this method. It is conceivable that the concept of standardized mass production has not been popularized.
   Even if some Towers of Time have begun to implement the production method of division of labor and cooperation, they are definitely not as thorough as the Towers of Time. In terms of efficiency and cost, they are still better than those that are out of date.
   Not to mention, the Tower of Time also has the "Eternal Magic Technology" to control the cost of raw materials, which is a real weapon for price wars to kill the red eye.
   But in Chateau’s view, Netheril’s current business environment is unlikely to have the kind of price war he imagined.
   "Satos, the second transaction method, can the appraiser also come to determine the prepayment ratio?"
"It's not necessary, Lord Xia Duo, no matter how much the Tower of Time priced for communication artifacts and learning scrolls, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will only give an advance payment of 500 gold coins for a single communication artifact and 50 gold coins for a single learning scroll. "
   "……"
  It’s too much pressure. Chateau was promoted as a communication tool in Sevinton. The bartender in the crystal ball form offered 1500 gold coins, while the smaller and more portable amulet form offered 3000.
   According to Saitos, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce must hold at least two-thirds of the purchase price, which is too exaggerated.
   In fact, Chateau speculated about the cost of producing communication artifacts from the Giles Tower. The crystal ball-shaped communication artifact sells for 1,500 gold coins, so the cost is only about half, which is about 6,700 gold coins.
   A single piece of 500 gold coins is estimated to be less than the cost of the Giles Tower.
   Xia Duo was dissatisfied, but also a little proud. UU reading www.uukanshu.com was ultimately limited by imagination. The cost of the Tower of Time communication artifacts, including labor, may be less than 300.
   Even if you sell it for 500, you can make money. It's just a matter of earning more and less.
   For another moment, Xia Duo wanted to say directly, you Mingshui Chamber of Commerce should not go to other places to buy it at all. I have 500 packages.
   But if you really say that, it will be really brain-dead.
   It seems that the agency model is still possible. At least from the perspective of Xia Duo, Mingshui Chamber of Commerce did not push the advance payment below the cost like the strong agents on the earth.
   But I don’t know if the price of 500 per piece can be negotiated. If it can be increased, the cash flow of the Tower of Time will be more secure.
   As for the learning scroll 50, Xia Duo is very satisfied. A 2-ring magic scroll may be sold for hundreds of gold coins. The learning scroll is only unencrypted and the price is higher, but the cost is the same.
   It’s just that on Chateau’s side, there is a magic scroll printer, which can print a large number of quasi magic scrolls, and the rest is the labor cost of the caster.
   The junior magic mechanics of the Tower of Time now need to practice level 2 [Simplified Magic Net Background Newsletter]. Use quasi-magic scrolls to practice for them. Even if they are scrapped during the practice, do they still want to charge for the finished product?
   In this way, only the material cost of the learning scroll is required, and this cost does not require as much as 50 gold coins.
  The only thing to consider is that long-term stable output cannot be used in this way.
