In the secret room, Lant announced his plan to the people still in the secret meeting.
Lant knows that many workshops are currently imitating containers. However, the output of these workshops either cannot achieve complex functions, or else they must be operated by archmages or magisters themselves, resulting in costs hovering above 100 gold coins, and Lant The idea is to reduce the cost of all workshops.
"So, Yeqi City's plan this time is to set up a workshop alliance of magic pattern containers. Yeqi City Workshop will provide magic pattern printing plates for all participating workshops. In other words, as long as the cooperative workshop has magic pattern printing plates, With a pattern stamping machine, you can mass-produce magic pattern boards."
Lanter introduced: "Ye Qicheng's magic pattern printing plates will be divided into three major categories, with more than ten styles. The most basic ones in the first category only have basic runes such as sealing, breathability, and reinforcement.
The second type is based on the first type, and adds a single function magic pattern for heating, cooling, and sealing demons. The third type has more than two magic patterns.
With the magic pattern printing plate and magic pattern stamping equipment, the price of a container will not exceed 60 gold coins. If only a single counter of the container is produced, the cost will be reduced to less than 10 gold coins. "
After introducing the container types, it’s time to introduce the policy: “Ye Qicheng will provide each cooperative workshop with first-type printing plates, 2 types of second-type magic pattern printing plates, and 1 type of third-type magic pattern printing plates. This can ensure different Workshops will not produce exactly the same containers, thus avoiding vicious competition between workshops.
The first batch of printing plates will be provided free of charge. These printing plates are enough to support the production of more than 1,000 magic pattern containers. The condition for free access is that the cooperative workshop must provide 100 magic pattern containers at cost price. In the future, Ye Qicheng Workshop and The cooperative workshops will sign new supply and sales agreements and container sales agreements. The cooperative workshops can also purchase containers produced by each other at certain preferential prices. "
Lant finished talking about the magic pattern container business plan in one sentence, describing it in one sentence: He plans to transform from a manufacturer and distributor into a higher-level magic pattern developer and standard setter, and establish a business alliance to expand the market.
Such business plans are actually not uncommon. Many long-established magic families control some magic product industries. For example, all teleportation halls in the Dragon Kingdom have mages from the Lanyuan family.
However, Rand's approach of cutting costs and giving large discounts to manufacturers just to increase container output still gained the interest of secret society members.
"Mr. White Wolf, you... I mean the magic workshop in Yeqi City, aren't you afraid that other workshops will copy their magic pattern printing plates?" Mr. Turtle was the first to speak. There is no doubt behind the code name "Mr. Turtle" It is the Fiat Mercedes-Benz family, and his attitude represents the attitude of the dozens of workshops behind the Fiat family.
"Ye Qicheng believes," Lant prepared his explanation, "that the most important value of the container is not its magical effect, but the improvement of the freight method. Ye Qicheng hopes that future freight can be more standardized."
"Standardization..." Mr. Turtle said nothing more after making a sound.
"Thank you Mr. Bailang for sharing. Now please ask other participants to post their own information." Mr. Jushu directed the topic to others. It seemed to interrupt Rant's speech, but it was to contact more people later. Mr. White Wolf provided the time.
Sure enough, in the subsequent individual communication session, everyone except Jushu contacted Lant individually and expressed their intention to join the Magic Pattern Container Alliance. Mr. Turtle did not mention any previous cooperation or disputes, saying that he would be joining forces in the next two days. Send a representative to Ye Qicheng.
After confirming the general intention of cooperation, Mr. Turtle finally asked: "Mr. White Wolf, do you think the owner of Yeqi City cares about having these magic pattern boards produced by some workshops in the southeast?"
"No, as long as it's a standardized finished product container, Ye Qicheng won't care who is behind the producer," Lanter said with a smile.
"Then Ye Qicheng is not afraid that one day, there will be workshops in this production alliance that can provide more printing plates and replace Ye Qicheng's position?"
"Haha, look what you said, Yeqi City will launch this alliance today. The most important reason is that Yeqi City has enough powerful equipment internally to produce printing plates at extremely low cost, and the Benma Plain and surrounding areas The region needs a large number of containers, and Benma Plain has the technology and the market, so of course it is not afraid of being replaced by others," Lant said with a smile.
"Well... what you said makes sense." Mr. Turtle was thinking about what Mr. White Wolf said behind the magic mirror, and what kind of status a person could say such a thing.
"However, Mr. Turtle, besides the magic pattern container, there are other businesses we can discuss between you and me!"
"what do you mean?"
"I want to order some cargo ships, specially designed to carry magic pattern containers and related equipment!"
…
Eagle Rock's magic furnace installation schedule suddenly expanded Lant's thinking. If his big cat hadn't been in pain and was still waiting for surgery, Lant might have been between Yeqi City, Mogbao and Hindukel. Running back and forth, but the big cat's body can't wait any longer.
On the afternoon of the 20th, in the Iowa Lord's Mansion, the original Lord's Meditation Room was simply decorated and used as an operating room.
In the center of the room, the big cat like a long balloon was fixed in mid-air. At this moment, she was not anesthetized by any magic or medicine, and was just watching the people not far away.
In the corner of the room, the half-elves Guanna Dent, Kay, Firefly and Lant put on specially made surgical clothes, thick masks and hats, and walked around the big cat.
When everyone stood still, Guan Na smiled and asked Lant: "You have been so busy these two days, do you still remember how to perform the surgery?"
"Of course, I practiced again yesterday!"
Although he was covered by a thick mask, Lant could directly make sounds through magic. When he saw the other three, he nodded and began to draw magic.
"It's the same as before, I'll take out the baby, Guanna, you cut the umbilical cord, Kai and Yinghuo will do the magic. You have to be careful this time, it may not be as simple as the previous times."
As the magic drew a space-based magic pattern in the air, the exquisite ball core on the ground rose into the air. A large number of space magic elements continued to gather, forming a long crack above the big cat's belly.
The big cat was shocked by this sight. His mouth was open, his eyes were full of Lant's hands that were about to penetrate into the crack, and he had no time to speak.
Lant reached into the crack and took out a baby cat that was nearly 1.5 meters long. Although the cat was already very large, everything else was like a newborn cat. It lacked hair and had tight eyes. Closed, the skin becomes completely translucent.
The oversized baby cat had just been taken out. Guan Na cut the umbilical cord with quick eyes and hands. She took Lant and put her hand into the slit to check the condition of the big cat's body.
"Wait a minute, she may be bleeding and needs your special treatment!" the half-elf shouted through the mask, "Lant, come back quickly, you can only treat this kind of wound!"
"I know!" Lant nodded, and hurried over, controlled the magic power to form life magic, and poured it into the space rift.
