78. The new journey of the Prince of Wales
Last summer, the five major mitril silver mines in the Anqirado plane were once trapped in the hands of the Nakma people.m
These five Mirsilan mines are one of the most important Mirsilan ore suppliers in the rune board industrial area of San Carlos City. In order to ensure that the plane war and the rune board orders of the great lords can be delivered smoothly, the Babington family once stopped the production and manufacturing of low-level blank Mirsilan magic rune boards, resulting in almost no Mirsilan blank magic rune boards in the imperial capital magic market. This situation lasted for several months.
The exquisite gold magic pattern rune board was designed by Qige and I at that time.
The original design was that in Qige's magic lab, there was a lot of choking smoke coming out all day long. In order to solve this problem, Qige and I joined forces to make an exhaust fan. Then we found that this kind of magic item had great market prospects, so we thought of opening a rune board workshop.
At that time, the junior inscription masters in the imperial capital could not buy blank mitsilver rune boards, and they were basically in a state of shutdown.
During that time, almost no junior inscription masters in the imperial capital made much money. It was not until the appearance of the fine gold magic pattern rune board that the junior inscription masters found their way again. However, in order to meet the production and processing needs of exhaust fans, the fine gold magic pattern rune board made in the rune board workshop could only be used to make the "Minique Tornado" magic pattern array.
The junior inscription masters in the imperial capital have complained a lot about this. For these junior inscription masters, the "Miniature Tornado" rune board is a brand new magic pattern array, and they need a lot of practice from being unfamiliar to being proficient.
And at the beginning of the drawing of the "Miniature Tornado" rune board, many inscriptionists basically couldn't make much money.
Although a "Minique Tornado" rune board left a lot of profit for the inscriptionists, the inscriptionists had to pay for their failures, so it was not until they practiced the "Minique Tornado" magic pattern array that they reversed the embarrassing situation where they could not get a job or make money.
At that time, Qige's rune board workshop was the only one that could produce rune boards with fine gold magic pattern. At that time, we had to deal with a large number of exhaust fan orders, so we never made other types of rune boards. This was the main reason why the junior inscription masters in the imperial capital were dissatisfied with me.
So much so that after the inscriptionists received orders from the runeboard workshop, they would rather say that the drawing failed and pay compensation according to the selling price than sell the drawn "Miniature Tornado" runeboards back to the runeboards.
As a result, the imperial capital also gave birth to a group of workshops that specialize in the production of exhaust fans. These exhaust fan production workshops quickly occupied the magic market with a series of means. Nick, the manager of the Rune Board Workshop, was not good at capturing the business opportunities in the market. Instead, he believed that this was a good opportunity to expand the scale of the rune board workshop and began to increase the production scale of the fine gold magic pattern rune board.
Nick implemented his idea last fall, giving up producing exhaust fans and making every effort to produce fine gold magic pattern rune boards.
Until the victory of the war in Kenda Plane, news that His Majesty Charles decided to recapture the Amchillar multi-plane came out, and a large number of mitrils ore reappeared in the magic market. The blank mitrils rune board quickly made the pure gold magic rune board unpopular in the magic market with its cheaper price and convenient and free combination of magic pattern arrays.
My runeboard workshop was in a dilemma. At that time, Nick and Brennan, under the lobbying of Ivan and Diego, took all the craftsmen in the runeboard workshop to the newly opened runeboard workshop of Ivan and Diego. My runeboard workshop was once closed during that time.
Since the junior inscription masters in the imperial capital had long been accustomed to the shape of the substrate of the fine gold magic pattern rune board, the blank mitral rune board transported by San Carlos City is very different from it. It is not feasible to redesign the "Minique Tornado" magic pattern array based on the shape of the blank mitral rune board, but it takes a lot of energy and money for the inscription masters to become familiar with the new shape of the magic pattern array.
At that time, the exhaust fans were very popular in the imperial capital. The imperial capital needed a large number of "miniature tornado" rune boards, so the orders for the "miniature tornado" rune board are easy to receive. It was precisely because Ivan and Diego saw such a business opportunity that they opened a Misilan rune board workshop engaged in the production of the appearance of the pure gold magic pattern rune board. The entire production line and rune board punching mold in the workshop were designed for this.
Later, I poached people from my rune board workshop because Nick and the craftsmen were more familiar with these rune boards than others.
In the first two months, Ivan and Diego's rune board workshop business was very prosperous.
However, the good times did not last long. When winter approached, exhaust fan sales entered the off-season, and all rune board workshops became less prosperous.
After I returned to the imperial capital from the Vasqi plane, I bought a group of dwarf slaves in the slave market in the imperial capital, and developed the first magic engraving machine in the Xinliugu Blacksmith Workshop, the red copper magic pattern "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board appeared in various magic markets in the imperial capital. Ivan and Diego discovered such a business opportunity again, and began to use the profits of the previous few months to build a production line that imitated the "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board.
Ivan and Diego wanted to continue to execute the previous mode, and create a Misilan blank rune board according to the appearance of the red copper magic pattern "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board, and then ask the junior inscription master in the imperial capital to draw a simple "Fire Gathering Technique" magic pattern array.
They thought I began to set the price of the "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board and copper hot pot so low, but they just wanted to use their financial advantages to attack other rune board workshops and make them give up the production of the "Fire Gathering Technique" rune boards, and then monopolize the copper hot pot market in the imperial capital. They and some rune board workshop owners tried the production of the "Fire Gathering Technique" rune boards.
According to the plan of Ivan and Diego, they wanted to use the revenue of the "Mini-Tornado" rune board to supplement the losses of the "Fire Gathering Technique" rune board. But what they didn't expect was that the "Mini-Tornado" rune board not only did not increase the price, but even the "Mini-Tornado" rune board price will reach below the production cost level. Since this spring, their rune board workshop has been in a loss.
With the innovation of magic printer manufacturing technology, the cost of rune board manufacturing in magic seal workshops has dropped again. In order to ensure the market share of the "Fire Gathering" rune board and the "Miniature Tornado" rune board, the prices of the two red copper magic pattern rune boards have been lowered for the second time. This incident is undoubtedly even worse for Ivan and Diego's rune board workshops.
If it were just a rune board workshop, it would not have affected the lives of Ivan and Diego, who were born in the upper class.
What really put them in a debt crisis was Prince George and Quentin collecting military supplies for Amcherado plane war. These young people were so brave that they actually reached into the magic herb market. But they wanted to rely on Prince George's power and status to force some magic herb vendors to sell magic herbs to them at a fair or low price.
Prince George and Quentin are the implementers of this action plan, and although Ivan and Diego did not participate directly, they raised money to participate in the shares.
Sometimes a person is not lucky and can even drink cold water to get too stuffy. Ivan and Diego obviously encountered such a thing.
Marvin and I were sitting in the magic caravan, and almost talked about Ivan and Diego along the way.
Some of the news about their rune board was heard from Alia, and some were told by Murray in private that if Shirley had not talked about the predicament of Ivan and Diego in the morning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known that they have been chasing debts recently.
Moreover, their rune board workshop is in a business crisis. If they still insist on losing money to produce the "Fire Gathering Technique" and "Miniature Tornado" rune board, they are afraid there will be no chance of turning around.
"You invited me to the imperial capital when you originally planned to help you open up the market for 'fire gathering technology', 'mini tornado', 'glimmer lighting technology', 'continuous frost' in the imperial capital?" Ma Wen sat in the carriage and asked me casually.
The fragrance of tree oil floated in outside the window, and the street trees on both sides of the street had slowly sprouted. I said to Marvin: "Yes! I just didn't expect that this would happen to Qige's trading company. I originally planned to make a batch of "water gathering" rune boards next, which is the largest cake in the rune board market. However, now Murray's rune board workshop is a little too busy, and the rune board assembly workshop also needs to expand the production scale."
Marvin leaned against the soft leather sofa and asked me: "You are constantly occupying the market for primary rune boards, are you really going to drive those primary inscription masters out of the imperial capital, or do you want them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes?"
"I don't expect those inscription masters to admit anything wrong to me!" I shook my head and said, "I just simply think that some elementary magic items should have entered life long ago, and now may be a good opportunity."
This good opportunity I mentioned refers to the plane war that greatly depreciated the magic crystal stone.
I looked at the rune boards on the square table in the carriage and said, "These magic items should not be just luxury goods owned by the upper nobles. Plane war has caused the price of magic crystal fragments to drop again and again, and ordinary noble families can probably afford it. What we need to do now is how to change the consumption concepts of the people in the imperial capital."
Marvin retracted his gaze and asked me with a serious look: "This time I went to Gurudin Town to meet those orcs. Is there anything I have to tell me about? "
"..." I was stunned for a moment.
Marvin smiled at me and then said, "Don't anyone under your command want to bring a letter to the orc tribe?"
"I'll go back and ask them," I said to Marvin.
At present, the Magic Seal Workshop has only processed several magic rune boards such as "fire gathering technique", "miniature tornado", "glimmer illumination technique", and "continuous frost", but I still have a lot of ideas. I still think that if I have the chance, I can also put the "frost" rune board and the "miniature tornado" rune board together, so that it can make a cold air fan that blows cold air in summer. The summer in the imperial capital is actually quite hot, and this kind of cold air fan should be very popular.
In addition, I also want to design a magic stove with two fire gathering rune boards embedded on the stove. This kind of stove is much more reliable than simply placing a fire gathering rune board on the stove.
When Ma Wen and I walked out of the bronze shop, the boss of the bronze shop personally sent us to the gate of the bronze shop with a charming smile. His two front teeth were a little yellow, and he always had a strong smell of e-liquid on his body.
The reason why he was so polite to us was that Marvin and I ordered two thousand copper lampshades from his store this time.
I need the owner of the bronze shop to provide us with 300 morning glory umbrella-shaped desk lampshades and lamp holders every month. For this bronze shop, even if they work at full capacity all day, they may not be able to make about 300 lampshades every month.
But this time it was still fine. The copper ware was prepared before we came. This time we prepared a hundred copper lampshades for us.
"Please rest assured, two magicians, I will prepare three hundred copper lampshades before the end of next month." The owner of the bronze shop stood at the door of the shop and shouted loudly to Marvin and me who were about to board the magic caravan. His voice was very loud, as if he wanted everyone on the street to hear his shouting, so that they could know how huge the business his shop had received.
Ma Wen did not stay in the imperial capital. When a hundred magic table lamps were assembled in the rune board workshop, he hired a truck to transport these magic table lamps to the airport town. Ying Li and I went to the airport platform in person to say goodbye to Ma Wen and Si Pei.
I watched the magic airship full of cargo leave the airport platform. The magic airship let out a dull long sound, then slowly merge into the channel and slowly left behind a merchant ship.
The next morning, Ying Li and I rode a magic caravan back to the imperial capital.
When I returned to the quiet courtyard, I found that the garden in the courtyard was already colorful, and many flowers and plants that I had never seen had grown from the flower beds. The exquisite shrubs and low walls in the yard were also carefully pruned.
After we walked into the quiet courtyard, we were like being in an exquisite garden, with little Ella and two indigenous girls in the courtyard.
When Little Ella saw me, she shouted to me: "Gija, see how the yard we are taking care of!"
I smiled and said to Little Ella, "It's very good! The low walls of these shrubs are neatly trimmed, and the flowers are beautifully planted."
Little Ella has grown a lot taller in a year and is almost reaching my ears.
Two indigenous girls saluted me and I rubbed my nose.
The two of them were wearing gauze dresses that girls liked to wear in the imperial capital, and they looked pretty good.
At this time, Little Ella said to me: "Oh, by the way, Jijia, I received a letter from the rental house. When I returned to the rental house to tidy up the yard the day before yesterday, I found it in the mailbox at the door. I will give it to you!"
"I'm sure it was a letter to me?" I asked her.
Little Ella ran into the room and said, "Yes, the envelope is written with your name."
