235. Rune Board Market
The scene was awkward for a moment, and the young nobleman stared at me with wide eyes, as if to find out what was different about me, and it was clear that there was not.
Then he immediately realized that he had talked too much, and had told me so much about what he had not said, and that expression that looked like he had swallowed a rat poop undoubtedly betrayed the smile on his face that he tried to hide.
For the inscription masters of the imperial capital, I seem to have become a public enemy in their eyes, as a manufacturer of rune plates, the workshop relies on the relationship with the inscription master, the current relationship between the rune board workshop and the inscription master of the Grimm Empire is inseparable, even the owner of the rune board workshop does not dare to offend the inscription masters easily, otherwise once it is boycotted by the inscription masters, the business of the rune board workshop will face closure.
The young nobleman spun around quickly, and then quickly walked out of my sight with his female companion, apparently not wanting to be seen to have had any form of contact with me.
Betty whispered beside me: "Look at the family crest on his chest should be a member of the Nelson family, Harry Nelson is a well-known coward in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital, their family has a court mage who is good at inscriptions, and the inscriptionists here in the imperial capital have a good personal relationship, and usually do some finished magic rune board business." β
I looked over to the young man from the Nelson family, who was already starting to talk to another noble merchant of rune boards, and it seemed that the number of roads was the same as when I was talking, and it seemed that the young man of the Nelson family was eager to establish some personal relationships with the rune board vendors.
"You said he shouldn't talk to Billy Babington, after all, the Babington family is the one who controls the blank rune board market. I said to Betty.
Betty reached out to cover her mouth and said to me, "Almost all finished magic rune board dealers will be in contact with the Babington family, but to participate in the rune board supplier conference, of course, you must also try to contact other rune board suppliers. β
At this time, as the president of the Rune Board Suppliers Association, Billy Babington came out of the crowd, he was not burly, his stomach was full of fat, the hairline on the top of his head was slightly back, revealing a large smooth forehead, black sunken eye sockets, hooked nose, thin lips with the corners of the mouth pulled down, deep nasolabial folds on his face, standing on the podium with a gloomy face without anger and arrogance, the meeting immediately fell silent, and some businessmen standing on the lawn also returned to their seats one after another, and it was not long before these white chairs were full.
Billy Babington only made a few polite remarks before giving a presentation on the trends in the rune board market this year.
As he said, after Angela's five major Mithril mines resumed production, the price of Mithril ore in the Green Empire has stabilized, and then began to introduce the market share occupied by these rune board suppliers last year. In addition, the Babington family is also the largest supplier of military rune plates to the Green Empire, such as bed crossbows, trebuchets, and large magic cannons, which also require the production of a large number of magic runes.
Finally, when Billy Babington talked about the life type of magic rune board, he pointed out that the life direction of the magic rune board was the least valued by the Bambington family, because the civil life rune board is subject to cost constraints, the magic rune board has always been a luxury, but this year, several magic rune boards in the imperial capital magic market appeared hot sales, it can be seen that the imperial capital aristocracy has an extremely strong desire to buy magic items, as long as the production cost is slightly reduced, it will definitely get a positive response from the magic market.
Therefore, the Babington family will provide sufficient and high-quality low-end blank magic rune plates for the majority of junior inscriptionists in the magic red copper rune plate forging hall in San Carlos City, and I also hope that the junior inscriptionists can understand the good intentions of the rune board suppliers in the future, and appropriately reduce the production cost.
When Billy Babington talked about this on the stage, the rune board suppliers in the audience were also talking about it, and I didn't expect that the heir of the Babington family would hit me in the head with the first shot at the rune board supplier conference, which clearly means that the Babington family plans to tilt resources to the low-end market of magic rune boards next year, which is to use the deep heritage of the magic industry in San Carlos City, in order to reduce the cost of blank magic red copper rune plates as much as possible, and at the same time call on those junior inscriptionists to reduce the manufacturing cost as much as possible, so as to reduce itThe price of a basic magic rune board such as 'Fire Gathering' and 'Water Gathering'.
Undoubtedly, this is also due to the fact that after the advent of the red copper magic pattern rune board, it has monopolized the three primary rune plate markets of 'fire gathering', 'miniature tornado', and 'continuous frost', and the Babington family has made a response to this.
Billy Babington finally said that the Babington family will support some low-end finished rune board suppliers next year to help them get blank copper rune boards at the lowest price, but the Babington family also put forward requirements for these primary finished rune board manufacturers, that is, they must create the cheapest primary magic rune board in the magic market.
At the subsequent rune board supplier conference, many rune board suppliers also made some expectations for next year's magic market, and then how everyone shared the cake of rune board in the magic market.
I couldn't help but ask Betty from the audience, 'Is this the case with the previous Rune Board Supplier Conference?'
Betty nodded and said, 'Yes.' β
I said to Betty, a little strangely, 'What can such a rune board supplier conference be?"
Betty told me: 'These suppliers just want to tell their competitors about their plans for the future through this supplier conference, and the original purpose of this is also to let some rune board suppliers who are not doing well avoid some risks in the future, of course, competition always exists, and rune board merchants will not let each other in the next market competition because everyone gets together to discuss casually, and the cake is only so big that it can be eaten in the stomach. β
I heard Betty say that, and I just smiled faintly.
And the rune board supplier conference has nothing to do with me from beginning to end, it seems that I just want to come with eyes and ears, I just need to listen to the next plans of these rune board supplier giants for the rune board market, and no one cares about my next plans, anyway...... Anyway, in next year's magic market, the Babington family's eyes are fixed on the primary magic rune board market, so it will inevitably lead to a price war, and some primary rune board suppliers may be out of the market because of this, and this time Billy Babington is obviously pointing the finger at me, of course, it doesn't matter what I can think next.
Obviously, these magic rune board manufacturers don't seem to know where the gap between us is, and they also don't understand where the most critical place to restrict the price of rune boards is, but they just feel that since the Babington family wants to take control of the low-end rune board market, it is like bad news or a disaster for many low-end rune board suppliers.
I think this kind of supplier conference is actually very boring, just like when the two armies are facing each other, the two sides have to start a scolding war under the city in advance, so when the supplier conference is nearing the end, I want to slip away in advance, anyway, the rune board suppliers here avoid me like a snake and scorpion, for fear that if I get touched, it will be doomed.
The young man from the Nelson family sat on a white chair and looked a little stupid, obviously not accepting the fact that the Babington family was preparing to enter the low-end magic rune board market.
Just as I got up from the white chair with Betty and Caterina and turned around to leave, Billy Babington, the first heir of the Babington family, who had been the focus of everyone's eyes on the stage, walked up behind me without knowing when, and then called out to me: "Your Excellency Wizard Giga, aren't you going to leave after the conference?"
Billy Babington's voice was a little louder, and his falcon-like eyes stared straight at me, as if they were about to rip a piece of flesh out of me.
No matter where he was, he was the focus of the meeting, even when he was standing in the audience, so everyone's eyes gathered, and I was stared at by dozens of eyes.
Sighing, turning around a little helplessly, I shrugged my shoulders at Billy Babington, and said, "I don't think there should be anything for me here, so I'm going to leave early, and it seems that there is no food or drink for this party, so what is there to look forward to?" β
Hearing me say this, Billy Babington saw the marquis badge on my chest, and the pupils in his eyes instantly shrank to the size of pinholes, and then kept changing before he recovered, his face looked a little unnatural, and he laughed dryly before saying: "You really deserve to be the person chosen by Princess Yingli, and you have been promoted to marquis so quickly, it seems that Prince James has really spared no effort in cultivating you." β
"I wonder what Marquis Giga thinks about the Babington family's next foray into the rudimentary rune board market?" Billy Babington then pressed into me, his eyes narrowed into a line that an old fox had.
I said disapprerovingly: "You have a mine in your house, of course you can do whatever you want, but the material of the blank red copper rune plate is low, and the profit margin is just like that, what? Is it that His Royal Highness Prince Charles has helped you find a few magical red copper rich mines in Angela, so that you can have this plan?"
Hearing my sarcasm, Billy Babington was not moved at all, and he even smiled a few times, and said:
"Hehe, the cuprite doesn't need a rich plane like Angelado, and a few barren planes in the family can also find some magical cuprite mines. However, in this way, the primary blank red copper rune board workshop of the Babington family may affect the rune board workshop opened by Marquis Jijia in the imperial capital, I don't know what Marquis Jijia will do next?"
I stood up straight, looking at his big belly that was about to stick to me, and I felt that he was having trouble gasping for air.
"Do you really want to hear me?" I asked him casually.
"It's an honor!" said Billy Babington, acting hypocritically, just smiling and reaching out in a gesture of invitation in full view of the public.
Probably this is why Billy Babington didn't even think that I would come to power, and seeing him make such a provocative move, I glanced at the surrounding rune board vendors before saying to him, "Okay, since you have been kindly invited, then I'll tell me about my next plan!"
Hearing me say this, Billy Babington's eyes widened, his throat seemed to be stuck in a fishbone, and with an expression that he wanted to say but couldn't speak, he stood under the stage and watched me stride towards the podium, surrounded by the rune board vendors like a loyal audience, and their eyes fell on me.
I stood on the podium, paused, and then looked around the inside of the stands.
"Since the Marquis Billy Babington personally invited me to talk about the plans for the Rune Board Workshop on the podium, then I will say that everyone may be a little unfamiliar with me, my name is ......" I first introduced myself, perhaps because I had appeared too many times in the magic newspaper last year, and after I revealed my identity, it was clear that more than half of the people in these rune board suppliers had strange expressions in their eyes, 'It's actually him'.
Now, the price of magic crystals is gradually declining because of the plane war, which means that the lives of the people in the imperial capital can afford more cheap magic elements, such as the magic wall lamps and table lamps in front of the bed on the walls, the faucets on the kitchen sinks and the exhaust fans on the windows, or the copper hot pots and refrigerators that are popular in the imperial capital this winter and summer, these magical life items have entered the families of the imperial capital, so the future of the imperial capital magic rune market will also compete with each other, and it is unimaginable how big this market isγ
Finally, I said to all the rune board suppliers present: "In the future, my rune workshop will continue to develop some new primary magic rune plates in addition to holding the positions occupied by the three types of red copper magic rune plates: 'Fire Gathering Technique', 'Micro Tornado' and 'Continuous Frost'. The 'shimmer illumination' rune board has been officially put into the production plan, I believe that in less than half a month, there will be a relatively cheap and energy-saving magic table lamp on the market, and there may be some magic wall lamps in the future, magic lampposts on the outdoor streets, etc., at the same time, we will also develop a new type of magic air conditioner and energy-saving magic three-dimensional oven and so on. β
"In the next six months, I will step up my steps to enter the primary rune board market, of course, I will not rule out testing the waters of the middle and high-level rune board market, the purpose of my rune board workshop is: to occupy the magic rune board market with low prices and high-quality products......"
