The people present are all relatively close people, and at the public meeting, these people are also his supporters. Of course, Uzov cannot deliberately find fault with them. What's more, there is really good news in gathering everyone today.
Seeing that everyone's expressions softened, Uzov said: "Recently, the work of printing magic scrolls at Kabanbai College has made good progress, and the Manroland printing press we built is the key to it. I believe that there is a need for printing magic scrolls.
People who are interested also hope to have a similar machine, and I will try to contact you privately."
Seeing that someone wanted to try to defend himself, Uzov shook his hand and continued: "When the complete machine was assembled, you were all there to help, and you have seen the entire process. How to assemble all the parts together, except
Besides my boss, who else can guarantee that I can do the same thing, let alone the magic circle and program that controls the machine?"
"Yes, brother, that's what I told that person too." Someone agreed in agreement. Suddenly he realized that he had let slip and had really come into contact with an outsider, and he couldn't help showing a panicked expression.
To appease everyone's worries about being raised again, Uzov said: "Don't worry, my boss didn't say not to sell the printing press. So if anyone finds you again, please bring them to talk to me directly. According to the agreed rules,
Anyone who introduces guests will receive an introduction bonus."
There are some eloquent employees in the technical guild. In addition to helping deal with some picky customers, their other major responsibility is to take the initiative to run business and promote business. Just like the chamber of commerce, some people who think highly of themselves
Nobles or magicians are waiting for the stewards of the chamber of commerce to come and flatter them, and will not take the initiative to contact the chamber of commerce unless they have been working with them for a long time.
Even if those big shots really want a certain product, they will only hint at their needs to the Chamber of Commerce through other people's mouths. At this time, the Chamber of Commerce will have to take the initiative to send stewards to visit and do the business. The Technology Guild's
The bathroom equipment business is not specialized, but operates in the same business model as the Midi Chamber of Commerce, sending people to proactively visit the 'big shots'.
Of course, not only these employees can promote business, but every workshop owner or craftsman can do it. As long as the commission is established, the construction is completed, and the remuneration is received, even if the people who ultimately participate in the construction do not include the introducer, they can still get a small sum of money from it.
Bonus for the introduction fee. This was a rule that had been established long ago, and Uzov just reiterated it.
The craftsmen were a little surprised by this attitude and asked, "Did the big boss really say that?"
"If you don't make money, you're a bastard. These are his exact words. Besides, if he sells a machine, he will contribute his efforts and get paid for it, so why not sell it. He has also been conducting research recently. He is a magician.
, also need financial support." Uzov also saw someone's silk business.
The craftsmen of the Technology Guild are not ignorant of the world of magicians. So someone asked: "What about the thoughts of the great magician Kabamba?"
The person who printed the magic scroll was the highly respected great magician. Moreover, the opponent's strength in the Holy City of Estali was no worse than that of the technical guild with the Ikaruga Alliance background.
Everyone is used to doing things in this city full of magicians. Of course, you have to pay more attention to avoid being involved in conflicts between magicians. In this case, the attitude of the great magician was also different.
Very important.
If you offend the technical guild, it seems that you will only lose money and suffer physical pain. If you offend the great magician of Kabanbai, you will not be able to survive in the holy city. The old man's disciples are not good-looking and fragile.
Ornaments.
I understand everyone’s worries. However, these little things are already under the control of his boss. Uzov said in his contagious voice: “Don’t worry, everyone. Of course, the great magician Kabambai also agreed to this.
Buy and sell.”
Seeing that everyone still looked a little unconvinced, Uzov certainly had to spend some time explaining: "If it is the most original version of the printing press, of course there is no such thing as the great magician. But the subsequent improvements are all from them.
The research results. If someone wants to directly buy an improved version of the printing press, it is impossible without that person's permission. If you want to get such permission, a technical licensing fee for the great magician will of course not escape. So
, In this matter, the great magician Kabamba is also beneficial."
"But no matter how many benefits there are, it can't be more profitable than monopolizing this technology." Craftsmen who have been relying on their crafts all their lives will naturally come to such a conclusion and question such considerations. Of course, this is also nonsense.
An idea Zoff once had.
However, his boss used the same reason to convince old Kabamba and himself. Now it is him who wants to convince this group of craftsmen. Uzov said: "Do you think that the great magician Kabamba alone can
Can a group of them and a machine to print magic scrolls satisfy everyone's scroll needs? By 'everyone' I mean the entire market in the Holy City, the entire market in the empire, and even the entire Lost Land."
Maybe Midi's understanding of economy and business is still quite primitive, but Uzov, who was influenced by someone, came to influence people in the technology guild. The words 'supply', 'demand', and 'market' are often used in the guild.
This type of economic terminology is not something that no one will understand.
As for the technical guild president's question, everyone thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed true. According to the production efficiency they had heard, even if it were increased ten times, no matter how large the workshop was, it would not be able to meet the demand that was almost like a bottomless pit.
Magic scrolls are different from bathroom equipment. The former is a consumable item, while the latter is a semi-permanent construction. Although the demand for the latter will not disappear completely, it will always slow down. But the former will be consumed as much as it is produced, almost
There is no upper limit.
As for those who engage in hunger marketing in the land... Guess how many pieces the thugs who can't buy anything will tear the person who did this into pieces? In a world with individual power, many considerations are different from those on Earth.
Moreover, when the research team led by Dean Kabanbai produced results, the old magician also discussed the follow-up plan with Lin. Even such a request for discussion was initiated by a timid time traveler.
The reason why they are looking for trouble on their own is because Midi has never had the experience of "mass production". In order to prevent this backer from killing itself, someone feels that it is necessary to step on the brakes or channel this momentum.
To the path that will not destroy itself.
Although there is still a long way to go before the research on the complete printing of magic scrolls, the results at this stage are enough to shock the world. Not to mention the parts that can be printed, because the manual operations are reduced, the success of making the scrolls is relatively
The rate has increased, and this alone makes the magician who knows the details excited.
The demand for magic scrolls has always existed and cannot be satisfied. Because they will be used in adventures, wars, and pure warriors. Even magicians in dangerous places, in order to increase their chances of survival, will use them.
I will choose to use magic scrolls to preserve my spellcasting ability in more urgent times. Not to mention some life-saving magic scrolls.
Before this kind of market demand, it would be very difficult to completely cover this technology. Unless the old magician could increase the production capacity to satisfy those who only want to use it without thinking about profiting from it.
At least among the two major groups that have this need, first eliminate the pressure that may arise from one of them.
This means increasing manpower, increasing the number of printing presses, and expanding scale. The most difficult point is to ensure the source of raw materials. The materials for making magic scrolls are not something that can be found all over the street. And the material source card
If you don't live there, it is very likely that the previous investment will become a burden that crushes you.
In order to prevent those who also hope to profit from it from obtaining secrets through improper channels, there must be enough manpower to guard against this kind of thing. And the larger the scale of the printing workshop, the more manpower is needed to guard against it. But this
The most troublesome thing is not that the magicians are doing this, but the pressure from the national level. Or the pressure from an empire, the Gwana Empire.
There is no doubt that magic scrolls are strategic materials in Mystery. For a country, the best situation is of course to have such technology in its hands, rather than being held by people beyond the control of the empire. Lin proposed
After raising such a question, neither Kabamba nor anyone else involved in the discussion believed that the Gwana Empire would stand idly by.
In other words, if you choose to monopolize this technology, you must have the consciousness to become the enemy of the whole world. Even on Earth, there is no key technology of military strategic level that is in the hands of private groups, except for the so-called immigrants
, which is actually outside the country composed of chaebols.
And the method of breaking the situation can be said to be familiar to someone. Since you can't eat a table of delicious food alone...then turn over the table! Sprinkle the soup and water on the ground, and whoever wants to eat can do it by himself.
Licking on the ground.
Of course, it is impossible for Lin to persuade the old magician Kabamba with such an argument. Instead, he said that the research results should be published in a way that can recover the cost and generate profits, and those profits can become funds for the next research.
.
At the same time, the demand market is so huge that it cannot be monopolized by one person or one family. The college continues to print magic scrolls and sell them. This business can maintain the vitality of research and bring in a steady stream of funds. And those who can also print magic scrolls,
An alliance will be formed invisibly to fight against other forces trying to monopolize this technology. Whether it is a person or an empire.
Finally, by publishing this technology for a fee, you can certainly gain fame. But after others get the first-hand data, it will take time to understand what is going on. During this period, as long as your own research is still ongoing,
And if we continue to make progress, we can maintain our leading position in technology.
