Chapter 1112: Worry (I)
"Our contract of cooperation is still valid, right?" Yuris's voice was rarely lowered.
"Of course," I said, "even if the Mage's Alliance starts selling exactly the same thing, we won't be less than shipping to you, it's our source of income. ”
"But does it make sense?" Yuris asked.
"It depends," I said, "first of all, they already know the method, and they have already made it, large-scale sales, there is still a certain gap, even if they take the production method from us, it will take time to produce, especially those new varieties of plants, and during this time, our goods still have a market, and even can be sold a little more expensive, and when their production scale expands, maybe they will sell cheaper than us, at that time, it is the time when trouble comes, time, it is still very early." ”
"But sooner or later, what will it do?" Yuris asked after him.
"We'll talk about that later," I said, "don't you care how our technology is leaked?" ”
"Of course I want to know, but, I'm sure, it can't be the one who Santas took the initiative to hand over to the Wizards Alliance, and then released the news that the cooperation was not negotiated, right?" Uerris said.
That's a bit aggressive.
"Absolutely not," I said, looking directly at Yuris, "we have absolutely no conditions for agreeing to the emissary, even if they offer several times as much as yours. ”
Yuris nodded heavily, "I believe in you, I came here." ”
"I'm sorry, you guessed it." Leo said.
"No," I corrected him, "it was handed over before the negotiations." ”
"Hehe, the level of playing word games is getting higher and higher."
"Each other, each other." I say.
"Honestly...... You're actually looking for those technologies, right? "I deliberately emphasize the word 'get'.
"That's nature, but we have a bottom line." Yuris didn't shy away from it, but he didn't say a word about it quietly.
"So, do you think there is a bottom line for the Wizards Alliance?" I asked.
"It depends on the object." "They're going to have concerns about a chamber like ours, and if it's Santas, they're ...... In order to obtain these things, they did not hesitate to use means that you cannot detect to steal secrets, and it seems that it cost a lot of money. ”
"Then I don't know," I said, "I'm just curious, is there such a thing?" ”
"Of course there is, but it's a bit expensive, and the cost may be higher than if you build a half-plane." Uerris said.
"Once they occupy the market, they will earn enough to build many farm planes." I said, "They don't lose." ”
"Of course, they don't need it," Leo said, "but I'd like to see such a prop, it should be prophecy magic or magic involving time and space." ”
"Not to mention this, now that they have the technology, the manufacturing has begun." "For our common good, it may be that our covenant needs to change some of its terms," Yuris said. ”
"No, no need," I waved my hand lightly, "the contract doesn't need to be changed, now we continue to sell the original products, and when they really occupy our market for goods and sell them lower than us, we will not be forced to die, according to the contract, the Permeeda Chamber of Commerce can also get the exclusive right to sell our subsequent new inventions, and when the time comes, we will no longer sell the previous goods, and we can sell the new inventions with all our might." ”
"New invention?" Yuris was stunned.
"We've had something new lately," I said, "and by contract, it's your first priority." ”
"Well......" Yuris groaned, as if his men had hoped for hope.
"To be honest, we can't win a direct confrontation with them," I said, "and we might as well just give in." ”
"However, if the new invention is also ...... by them," Yuris found out the problem.
"Well," I am, "then, we have a newer ...... of invention"117
"And then, we're going to retreat step by step?" Uerris said.
"No, it's not a war, and we're not the defenders who retreat and end up losing all of them," I shook my head, "we're the pioneers of a new land, and they, they, will always follow us and eat what we're left of." ”
"Hehe......" Yuris shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Even if it's a new continent, there is an end, and when you get to the end of it?" Or did they come up to you? ”
"I don't believe he can get ahead," I said, "and, with their manufacturing capabilities, they can indeed replicate all of our new goods, but the more new things we create, the more things they need to imitate, and one day they will not be able to hold on, just like sending an elite army to occupy a vast land, then there will always be places that they can't take care of, and those places that are nominally occupied by them can still leave us room to live." ”
Yuris's eyes flashed, and he seemed to grasp the key.
"If that's right, I think we can continue to work together for at least three years." "And three years later, I really don't know what's going to happen." ”
"Three years, I'm afraid," I said, "I think at least ten years, and no one can say what will happen in those ten years, unless someone makes a prophecy at any cost." ”
"That's not necessary," said Ulys, "after all, business is only a small part of the day-to-day affairs of the League of Mages. ”
"So, they don't rush to kill us," I said, "they just can't see people doing things they can't do, and it makes them lose the vanity of the number one power." ”
"I'm interested in what you said about the minimum living space," Yuris grasped the core of the problem, ignoring the big picture of life and death. ”
"It's very simple," I took out a piece of paper, "it is said that they have already made such paper, but we have several improved formulas that can produce powerful special paper, and they have made glass, and we will make glass that will not be easily broken even if we do not need to bless and strengthen the magic circle, and it is also said that they take the cheap route of popularization, and we will take the boutique route, and when they learn, we will transfer our position, anyway, it is not cost-free for them to learn, we can afford it!" ”
"Looks like you're confident." Uerris said.
"I really don't have that confidence on my own," I said, "but we in the Sainz school have a systematic theory through which we can make more new inventions, so let them follow behind the ass and learn slowly!" ”
"Speaking of which, Ginya seems to have said she wanted to join you," said Yuris, "I heard you refused?" ”
"Well, after all, our organization is too small." I'm pretending to be humble.
"Now she's talking about going to the Sisters of the Iron Rose," said Yuris, "and she's going to learn how to do business with you instead of following the women." ”
I waved my hand again and again: "She should learn from you!" ”
"Hehe, your business insights are beyond my expectations," said Yuris, "and when I hear you say that, I understand that it's really not that serious, it's just that we're too nervous." ”
"Anyone can be a little nervous about the number one force, I understand," I said, "but I've heard that the new young director of the mercenary guild, the young master Edison, is quite powerful and has a crush on Miss Ginya, and I think this is an opportunity to ease relations......"
Yuris's face changed slightly: "You also know about this matter?" ”
I said, "Ginya mentioned it, she seems to be a little troubled, but unfortunately, this is your family matter, I am just an outsider, but in the face of the current situation, I take the liberty of asking, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"This matter is indeed a bit difficult to do, to be honest, I am also struggling with it myself," Yuris suddenly softened, "This kind of thing should not be brought out, but you are also a friend of Jinya, and she herself confided in you about her troubles, there is nothing that can't be said in it, listening to your analysis just now, I think that this magician alliance, the real thing to deal with is us, and you are only implicated." ”
I pretended to smile wryly: "Just think about it, Santas is so small, and it is qualified to be the target of the Wizards Alliance, and they really want to put pressure on you." ”
"It doesn't have to be suppression," Yuris said, "to get your technology and put pressure on us, and then to bring up the matter of marrying Ginya, then we will have to stand with the Wizards Alliance, and they will be more sure to suppress several other large chambers of commerce......"
"Well, the infighting of human beings is really powerful." I say.
"It's not a secret, anyone can understand," Yuris said, taking another sip of his Coke, "I want to ask you about Ginya." ”
I sat up straight and said, "To be honest, I have seen such a thing as marriage, not to mention among humans, even on the orc side, so as a friend of Ginya, I only care about one thing, that is, whether her marriage can be happy." ”
"Happiness? In front of the family, happiness is dedication to the family," said Yuris, "but unfortunately, I really can't bear it, after all, she is still talented in magic." ”
"Her talent is indeed good," I said, "but unfortunately, the more prominent the family, the more it is impossible to get rid of the marriage." ”
"Forget it," said Yuris, "even if we don't change the treaty, I only need a promise from you to ensure that we can continue to work together." ”
