Chapter 98 Conditions
Early in the morning, Selena got up. She thought about it for a long time last night, but still couldn't understand why she had some mistakes.
In her opinion, it was just a pen. Even if it was inlaid with gems and gold, it would not be expensive. Moreover, the main reason was that the materials were expensive and it was not related to the pen. The ownership of this pen came here to buy this pen was mainly because it was a pen invented by the mage. If the magic circle was engraved, there would be nobility who would like it.
She came outside the house and came to Jiayi practicing boxing, relaxing and exploring, full of charm. Although it looked pretty good, it seemed soft and useless.
"Jiayi, what are you practicing?" Selena asked curiously.
"This is a method for mages to exercise and strengthen their bodies."
"Does the mage still need to exercise? I have seen other mages, and it seems that they are taking potions. I have seen a bottle of physical growth potion that can strengthen a person's physique and make people stronger. Even there can be strengthened." Finally, Selena couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckled.
Jiayi couldn't help but have a black thread. He was so small, would it be appropriate to say these?
After finishing work, he had a momentum, shouted "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms" in his mind and pushed out with both hands. Suddenly, a wind blew out between his palms.
It was not the palm wind, it was the magic power in his body. Because the magic power was combined with Tai Chi, he had no other application method, so he compared it to internal force and carried it in his body. He also wanted to shoot it out of his body like internal force. This palm wind was the result of his research over the past few months and was also the only result.
After breakfast, Selena found Jiayi and said, "Let's say it openly. Although your pen is new, it is only the one with magic. If you want to sell it, we need to find a master to inlaid gems and use precious metals. These are very cost-effective. Let me just say that your pen is not worth so much."
Jiayi said: "I want to ask, will your chamber of traders sell quill pens? What's the price?"
"Our most expensive is the fragrance-retaining pen, which is made with the wings and feathers of the fragrant spear falcon. The master woven a magic circle on the quill pen, which can make the written words last for a long time and be kept for several months. Such a pen costs about 100 gold coins." Salena said.
"100 gold?" Jia widened his eyes, "and then if you want to buy out my pen with 300 gold?"
"Do you think the fragrance pen is simple? You must be a master of magic to make it. Moreover, the fragrance spear falcon is a very cunning monster. You may not be able to hunt a few every year. There are only 6 or 7 feathers on your wings. Only the best pens are used with the best two. The materials alone cost more than half of the cost, and the cost of the pen master can not make much money. If it is damaged during the pen making process, you may lose money." Selena spoke louder and louder, as if she was wronged.
"The best we sell is the black swan quill pen, which is only a few dozen silver coins per piece."
"Then do you know the price of the top rune styling?" Jia Yi asked.
"I, I don't know, how much?" Selena's tone of speaking couldn't help but weaken. Is it particularly expensive?
"I don't know how much it costs, but I know that the mage's things are not cheap, come with me." Jiayi brought Selena to his high-temperature furnace, "This is a stove, used for iron smelting, which is actually very simple, but a magic circle is drawn on it, which costs nearly a hundred gold coins."
Selena looked carefully: "This stove looks very simple."
"It is because of its simplicity that it is so cheap. For ordinary people, 100 gold coins are already very expensive. It is a nobleman in time, and it is not a small amount of money. But for a mage, it may be just the money for a magic experiment.
"And my pen is not a simple toy that can only be enjoyed and displayed by the nobles, but a must-have item that every mage needs."
Selena and the Chamber of Commerce are engaged in luxury goods business. I don’t know if they didn’t think of this or because they didn’t want to think of this. Speaking of which, luxury goods have a price, but the price of cutting-edge scientific research instruments is almost unlimited. For example, laser cutting machines can range from tens of thousands at the low end to millions at the top millions or even tens of millions.
For example, the most advanced large-hadron collider costs hundreds of billions of rmbs, and it costs a lot of money every time it is used. It needs to be maintained once it is used, and it is also a money, which is simply a bottomless pit.
"Do you want to sell this pen to the mage group?" Selena said, "but we don't have this channel, and this is not an easy thing."
Jiayi said: "To be honest, after I understand your business, I have no interest in selling it to you. You cannot fully utilize the full effect of my pen, and even lack channels. Moreover, I feel that you are not very clear about the positioning of the pen."
"What do you want?" Originally, Selena was not so determined to get this theory article. After Jiayi rejected her offer, she just wanted to see what he said. Now, after listening to Jiayi's explanation, she thought this was really a big business.
This pen can not only make money, but also helps them to open a path to the mage group. Every mage needs a pen, although not necessarily every mage needs the top pen.
She continued: "And you have to understand that your pen is not complicated. The top pen makers can purchase the personal rights of your paper by themselves and make it and sell it separately."
"But they pay a lot of money. My authorization accounts for 10% of the price. The most important nib and capillary structure of a fountain pen cannot be circulated. A pen with 100 gold, I will have an authorization fee of 8 gold." Jia Yi said.
Because mages often have to experiment and make tools by themselves. If each paper used requires authorization from the original author, it will be too troublesome, so it will be accorded academic exchanges, which violates the original intention of the paper system. Therefore, individual patents do not require direct authorization from the original author, and they can directly obtain authorization through relevant institutions. It is just higher than those used by the Chamber of Commerce, and they can only make and sell them by themselves. The Chamber of Commerce does not allow it. However, the advantage is that it is simple and convenient, and even if the things that are manufactured do not come out of the laboratory, there is no need for authorization.
"You won't ask us to pay 10% too, right? The big head is to inscribe a magic circle for the pen. If you want to make a pen that meets your standards, the inscribed magic circle will account for at least 60% to 80% of the cost. If you give you another 10%, don't we have to make money?" Selena widened her eyes and said.
Jiayi asked: "Can you make the decision?"
"Of course..." She seemed to think of something, changed her voice, and her voice became weaker. "No."
It felt that the blow was almost done, Jiayi said, "Now you have also understood the prospects of this pen. Let me propose a plan. We will jointly build a sub-chamber of commerce. As a subordinate chamber of commerce, it is specifically responsible for the production and production of fountain pens. We can not only make high-end rune pens, but also make fountain pens that ordinary people can use. After all, fountain pens are much more convenient than quill pens.
"If the authorization fee is high, you don't think it's cost-effective. After all, the principle of a fountain pen is actually very simple, but if the fee is low, I will never agree. After all, the prospects of a fountain pen are here, and the core technology is also in my hands. What do you think about this? Of course, you don't have the right to decide. Take it back and discuss with your person in charge."
Without the last sentence, Selena might have been happier. Now, the whites of her eyes were almost coming out.
On the way back, Selena realized that all her thoughts were taken by Jia Yi, and her initiative and voice were controlled by him. She no longer paid attention to the fact that he was just a child whose hair had not grown enough, and even he did not even start growing.
