Wutong mentioned that the 10% consignment fee was too high, and he just wanted to bargain, but he didn't expect that Director Taylor would actually waive the 10% consignment fee, which surprised Wutong!

Director Taylor had a look of wisdom beads in his hand, and his smile was very "mysterious", which made Wutong confused.

In terms of interests alone, the mercenary guild relies on selling force to operate, and the unit price of the benefits obtained cannot be compared with the various arcane items and alchemy items sold by the arcane council.

Therefore, if the Arcane Council sells "luxury goods" and takes the upper-class luxury route where things are scarce and expensive, then the Mercenary Guild takes the cheap route of small profits and quick turnover.

However, considering the number of warlords and spellcasters alone, the two competitors of the Mercenary Guild and the Arcane Council have a similar difference in strength, but the difference in numbers is huge, and the Mercenary Guild, which manages all the mercenaries in all the countries, can mobilize dozens or even hundreds of times the number of mercenaries under its command than the Arcane Council!

However, the Mercenary Guild with such a large number of members has to be firmly choked by the Arcane Council in terms of supplies such as potions and alchemy items, once the Arcane Council adjusts the price of various supplies and controls the output of various supplies, it is equivalent to strangling the money bag and lifeblood of the Mercenary Guild.

So the Mercenary Guild has been trying to find a way to solve this problem, after all, daily hoarding is a palliative rather than a cure, and they are also cultivating their own arcane masters, but no matter how they are cultivated, they can't be compared with the Arcane Council in terms of quantity and quality.

Moreover, the vast majority of arcane masters are also mages, and they will still be managed by the arcane council, and they will be held in the hands of others from the root.

In desperation, they had no choice but to try to attract the "wild mage" to join the mercenary guild and become an arcane advisor and arcane craftsman loyal to the guild.

The so-called "wild mages" are wandering mages and traveling mages who are not subject to the jurisdiction of the Arcane Council, and they do not enjoy the benefits provided by the Arcane Council for spellcasters, and at the same time do not fulfill the obligations of the Arcane Council.

However, after all, the number of wild mages is scarce, and the level is usually not too high, after all, without the huge resources provided by the Arcane Council and the major arcane law schools, the road to self-education is very difficult, and not all of them are the legendary heroes of those spellcasters.

These related information are all pieced together from the many books that Wutong has learned, and the mercenary guild and the arcane council, the two major professional institutions, although there is no direct conflict of interest between each other, but they are in a relationship that is not too close and not too estranged.

After all, everyone wants to be the "leader", not the "dominated", this kind of competition does not only exist between the mercenary guild and the arcane council, but also exists more deeply in the institutions of various professions, such as the warrior guild, the mage association, the wanderer alliance and other classified institutions, but as a synthesis of various professional systems, these two institutions have borne the brunt of the competition.

The successive presidents of the two major professional institutions have never been ambitious and want to take each other as their vassals, but unfortunately no one has ever succeeded, and it is estimated that no one will succeed in the future.

In this case, it is understandable that Director Taylor dares to waive the 10% consignment fee, although he does not know the details of this "Secret Order No. 44", but as a group with at least more than 1,000 high-level Arcane Craftsmen, they do not sell their products to the Arcane Council, which controls the vast majority of Fairhaven's apothecaries, but instead run to the Mercenary Guild, which already shows a very subtle attitude.

To be able to become the head of the Mercenary Guild, Mr. Taylor certainly has enough courage, and the appearance of "Secret Law Group No. 44" may mean an opportunity, or a "temptation" for some spellcasters, after all, compared to the strict system of the Arcane Council and the strict treatment of Arcane Craftsmen, the Mercenary Guild is obviously much more free and relaxed.

You must know that although the craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Orcane Council can enjoy various benefits provided by the Arcane Council, the products they produce need to be handed over to the Arcanian Council for sale, and they must pay up to 20% of the tax to the Orcanian Council as the price of enjoying various benefits. This money is used by the Arcane Council to develop institutions and to build more mage towers, research rooms, and open more spell research projects, although from the premise of the premise, it is beneficial to spellcasters, but for individuals, it is not tolerant enough.

The 20% tax has almost accounted for 50% of the net profit obtained by the craftsmen in addition to the cost, which consumes a lot of time and energy, bears the risk of production failure, and finally obtains half of the "meager" profit, which I am afraid not many people will be willing to.

Is it possible for a lonely and unknown team to have more than a thousand high-level craftsmen? Wouldn't a team with more than 1,000 high-level Arcane Masters have ten times the number of Intermediate Arcane Masters, a hundred times the number of low-level Arcane Masters, and a thousand times the number of Arcane Master Apprentices?

How could such a large team of arcane craftsmen, under the rule of the "clutches" of the Arcane Council, be established privately without going through the registration review? This unreliable "No. 44 Secret Law Group" is clearly a disguise, a product that represents the group of master craftsmen and is used to "test the waters"!

Otherwise, why only sell [Powerful] and [Effective] two super-quality low-grade potions? Why would such a large number of super-quality potions be sold by a group of apprentices who had not yet officially taken up their jobs?

This is clearly hinting at and testing the Mercenary Guild's attitude towards "this matter"!

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Director Taylor's guess is not correct, the Mercenary Guild will not lose anything, even a hundred benefits and no harm, if you can befriend this Arcane team, although it can't change the general situation that the Mercenary Guild is suppressed by the Arcane Council in terms of various supplies, it symbolizes a good change, that is, the team of Arcane Craftsmen has begun to tend to serve the Mercenary Guild, rather than being completely controlled by the Arcane Council.

Having said that, a team of more than 1,000 senior craftsmen, with a daily production capacity of tens of thousands of bottles of low-grade potions, is not enough for the behemoth of the Mercenary Guild to even plug the gaps, not to mention that it is open to sale to all mercenaries, even if the internal personnel of the Mercenary Guild digest it, it is not enough for a fraction. The super-quality potion itself is also a rare item, although it is only a low-level potion, but it is also a very useful and sought-after material, if you don't take into account the "advertising effect", it is impossible for the mercenary guild to put it in the supply store to sell.

Because once it is put out, it will inevitably cause mercenaries who are overly hungry for super-quality potions to loot and even resell, and with the daily output provided by "Secret Law Group No. 44", it is destined that the price of super-quality potions will always be empty.

Therefore, these potions provided by "Secret Law Group No. 44", Director Taylor originally intended to be used as a guild welfare, but now he is showing goodwill to "Secret Law Group No. 44" with "10% exemption from the consignment fee" and "material supply below the market price of 30%", which is actually "buying horse bones for a thousand dollars".

First, I hope that the Mercenary Guild can have further cooperation with the "Secret Law Group No. 44", and secondly, it is also to announce to those "wait-and-see" arcane masters: Come on! The Mercenary Guild will always open its warm arms to you!

As for the "price" of "buying horse bones", for the Mercenary Guild, it is actually not worth mentioning, the Mercenary Guild itself needs a large number of various supplies, and the medicine provided by "Secret Law Group No. 44" does not need to be sold at all, and the insiders are not enough to use it, which is equivalent to the mercenary guild buying potions from "Secret Law Group No. 44", and naturally there is no "consignment sale", but "internal purchase".

Secondly, "the supply of materials below the market is thirty percent", and you don't have to spend a dime, because just as the Arcane Council controls the source of supplies, the Mercenary Guild also has the means to balance competitors, that is, it controls the source of raw materials, if you dare to increase the price of supplies, Lao Tzu will dare to cut off your source of raw materials for production!

Therefore, the seven-fold price that Director Taylor gave to Wutong is actually just the wholesale price of some raw material dealers in Fairhaven City from the Mercenary Guild, and the amount needed by "Secret Law Group No. 44", it is enough for the Mercenary Guild to pick it out from the cracks between the fingernails, and with the deepening of the cooperation between the two sides, this price continues to fall, and even the cost price is not impossible.

"Long-term supply is not a problem, and neither is it a problem to expand the range and quantity of supply!"

Wutong considered the request put forward by Director Taylor, nodded and said: "But after all, our team is still very small, so I can't be sure when the yield and variety range will be improved, and we need time and space for development." ”

Director Taylor laughed heroically, and the middle-aged warrior with a short beard touched his neatly trimmed beard: "That's not important, you must know that with the size of the mercenary guild, there is no shortage of these supplies you provide, what we need is just a long-term and stable partner, you know." ”

Looking at the smiling face of Director Taylor, the fog on the end of the sycamore, what do I understand?

"Well, I can promise that our team will supply the Mercenary Guild stably without external interference, but if there is irresistible external interference, for example, our team needs to move out of Fairhaven"

If he can contact his uncle and them in a short period of time, it is estimated that it will not be a problem for a large number of craftsmen trained under the name of the "Zhudao Chamber of Commerce" to take over this business, but if he can't be contacted in a short time, he will have to be confined to this city, which will be very passive.
