"This is Piram's usual tactic, using his own sales network to dump a lot, and finally relying on strong capital to crush his opponents."

Antoine sighed, looking at the boxes of Cokes in the corner of the room, which were about to be sent to Priest.

"I know, Monsieur Antoine, so I told you at the time that Pyram might send someone over to steal a sample of Coke."

Reiner shrugged his shoulders and said slowly, it was nearly evening when he and Claire arrived at Antoine's workshop, but Antoine continued to work.

Sandersen's behavior at that time had been expected by Reiner, so Antoine did not stop it, on the one hand, the sale of Coke would sooner or later attract the attention of Piram, and they only needed to buy a bottle to know most of the ingredients, and there was no point in keeping it secret; On the other hand, it is also a foreshadowing for future plans.

"Judging from the current situation, they don't know how to make this gas yet, and the coke they make is just a defective product, Piram will definitely not give up, it is estimated that someone will be looking for someone to steal the alchemy circle in the next two days."

As he spoke, Reiner glanced at the assembly line that was still running.

"This—it's a crime!"

Claire said angrily that she despised such despicable behavior above all else.

"Of course it's a crime, and don't forget, we've applied for trade secrets, and as long as Piram steals our production line, then we can apply for arbitration."

Reiner said, looking at Antoine again.

"Monsieur Antoine, is there any way you can add some personal symbols to the current alchemy circle without being noticed?"

"I haven't tried this, but theoretically it works."

Antoine didn't know Reiner's intentions, but he knew that many mages would add their own signatures to the circles they designed, which were themselves part of the spell model and were inseparable, in order to serve as proof of the developers if the spell was plagiarized.

It's difficult, and not every form of magic can do it, but it's also extremely stealthy, and there are so many ways to verify signatures that it's hard to detect.

"Do you want to?"

"That's right, that's what you guessed."

Reiner said that if the secrecy was enforced, the angry Piram might do something dangerous to the detriment of Mr. Antoine, and that by the time Reiner's paper was published, the existence of carbon dioxide would not be a secret, and strictly speaking, there was no need for them to protect the production line at a huge cost.

In this case, it is better to flip the chessboard over and lay out Piram on the premise that the production line is stolen.

When Piram is in production, he applies to the Magic Association and the councillors for arbitration to bring him to ruin.

Reiner was not in the least worried about Piram's collusion with the nobles, because Piram was not a nobleman himself, and he grew up in Ian Gray's family, and Reiner knew very well that a mere first-order mage was not a prominent status among many nobles, and they would not necessarily speak out for the sake of such "commoners".

As for the mage's side, they are even more disgusted by this kind of theft, and the most serious punishment is even the direct deprivation of the mage's rank.

The exchange with Oriana also revealed that even within Priest, the councillors were unhappy with Piram, fearing that the merchant would ride on his head in the future.

In such an environment, Reiner has such a strategy.

"But if Pyram gets the production line, then he can also make a coke that tastes the same thing, and with the low-price dumping strategy, how can we beat him?"

Antoine understood Reiner's intentions, but was still worried.

"Have you forgotten what I told you at the beginning, the value of the brand."

Reiner didn't seem to be in a hurry, because he still had a backhand.

"Actually, this time, I'm bringing you a brand new product, Monsieur Antoine."

"Brand new product?"

Even Claire was confused, she saw Reiner pack something in her bag before she left, and now it seems, it's a new product?

Without further explanation, Reiner pulled out four bottles of liquid from the bag that had been able to reduce weight and space due to the magic he had applied.

One of the bottles was clearly orange juice, and the orange liquid shone golden in the setting sun.

The other bottle is a colorless and transparent liquid that looks like regular cold water.

There was also a bottle of liquid with a hint of yellowish green, but it was not clear what it was.

The last bottle is a black liquid similar to Coke.

"What are these?"

Antoine had a vague guess, but asked anyway, hoping for confirmation.

"This is orange juice, this is sugar water with lemon juice, and this bottle is apple juice."

Three different flavors of beverages, if carbon dioxide is added, would make it the most prestigious beverage line on the planet.

Reiner's brand value is to make the carbonated drink a true collection, where customers can drink not only Coke, but also other flavors of soda, each with what they want.

"What about this?"

Claire asked, pointing to the last bottle of black liquid.

"This is also a coke, but the formula has been modified to a certain extent, and the version with very low sugar content but not much impact on sweetness is also a diet cola."

Reiner explained that this special drink, known as Coke Zero on Earth, was created for some people who love carbonated soda but are unwilling to consume high-calorie foods for their own reasons.

With four products at a time, Lennar aims to cover the vast majority of the population, of course, this is only one part of the product chain, and more importantly, it creates the brand impression of Crescent Cola.

"But these things, the Pyram Alchemy Workshop will soon be able to imitate them."

Antoine asked, he could understand Reiner's thoughts, but he couldn't get a glimpse of the headmaster's true intentions.

"That's right, I just want Piram to produce in large quantities and produce it with all my might."

Reiner smiled mysteriously, a little scared to Claire.

"When he's fully engaged, our real cards come out."

"Hole cards?"

Claire didn't understand Reiner's words and tilted her head in question.

Reiner then gave a rough outline of his next plan, and the two listened attentively, and after Reiner finished speaking, they both fell silent.

"Is this really possible?"

Because this plan was too advanced, Antoine had no idea at all.

"Sounds good, but it seems a little too bold, right?"

Claire also asked suspiciously, to be honest, she was still a little cautious about Reiner's plan, but she was still not at ease because it was unprecedented.

"Believe me, guys, we're making history."

Reiner didn't explain further, but said so.
