Chapter 430: Cullen the Jeweler
The next day, it was still on the gazebo outside the Earl's Court.
"Young master, this is a piece of jewelry made by the craftsmen of Najin Town!" Reagan took a tray and placed it in front of Claire, and then released the jewelry he had bought from the Kingdom of Jersey.
continued: "They said that the craftsmanship above is not very complicated, except for some magic materials that need to be processed and cannot be created for the time being, the others can be reproduced. ”
Claire also swept it with her mental power, and the jewelry on the two trays was really no different except for the material, almost all of them were replicas of the original proportions, and even on some low-end jewelry, the craftsmen of Najin Town created them more exquisitely.
"Yes." Claire nodded, since this is the case, then she can rest assured, and she doesn't need to go outside to find some craftsmen, and it also saves a lot of effort and money.
"Then I went to buy some jewelry from the market and brought it to them to practice, and told them that this is also one of their jobs in the future."
"Understood, young master." Reagan was about to retreat with his jewelry, but Claire stopped him again.
"It's good that you leave these things to the people below to do, I have something that I need you to go abroad."
"Hmm!" As soon as I heard this, I was interested.
"Go to the Kingdom of Jersey and help me find out about the jewelers over there, and find another jeweler who is about to go bankrupt and come back......"
Under the mature market system and the highly competitive market environment, the elimination rate of those jewelers is very high, so Claire is not worried that there are no jewelry dealers who are about to go bankrupt.
"Young Master, are you planning to buy them?" Reagan asked suspiciously, in his opinion, the jewelers who were about to go bankrupt were no longer of much use.
"Well, I'm going to enter the jewelry market in the Kingdom of Jersey." Claire also did not hide that the acquisition is necessary, she has no foundation there, and it is difficult to do some things, but if she acquires a jeweler, then her actions will become more convenient.
Reagan was instantly surprised when he heard this, and said in disbelief: "That...... Isn't that too intense? We may be able to start with other countries, the Kingdom of Jersey is the most competitive place, and we are just getting started...... It should be slowly figured out. Reagan's concern was not unreasonable, as the survivors were all mature and battle-hardened jewelers, and if "newcomers" like them entered the market like this, it is estimated that there would be no bones left.
"That's why we need a jeweler who is about to go bankrupt on their side, to hide our identity and reduce their vigilance." Claire explained: "As for what you said, this is a misunderstanding of thinking, since there are many jewelers in the Kingdom of Jersey, then we should start from there, as long as we win a certain market share there, the market in other countries will be automatically opened, and there is no need to conquer them one by one." If we start in other countries, it will take more time. ”
This method was also used to promote iodized salt in the past, and it was sold directly in the royal capital, and once it was sold well, it would automatically radiate to other cities, which was the benefit of this method. However, there are no competitors for iodized salt, and I have a lot of experienced opponents this time, and the difficulty will be much greater than before.
"Understood, young master." Reagan took the two plates of jewelry and stepped back.
……
After Reagan left, Claire also got busy, walking back and forth between Nagin and Naf, instilling some of her ideas into the craftsmen, lest there be any cognitive mistakes in the creation of jewelry, and make jewelry that did not conform to the direction of the market.
Not only the craftsmen of Nagin Town participated, but also the craftsmen who could craft magical equipment in the blacksmith street of Nafu City, and after the adventurer's guild gradually became popular, their skills were also improving rapidly, and now some basic equipment can be crafted.
However, the current stage is just for them to reproduce the exercise, and it is not yet time to actually build, and there is still a lot of preparation work to be done before then, such as salvaging those treasures in the bottom of the sea.
The treasures in the sea have also been salvaged, the boat was made by Isaac and others in the Academy of Sciences, and the salvage equipment was also made by the mages in the Academy of Sciences. Now with more high-level mages in the background, many of Claire's needs can be solved, such as the ship and salvage equipment that were created in less than a few days
The salvage people are mainly fishermen who are good at water, and they specialize in the art industry.
In addition, every time the ship is departed, the mages and knights in the barracks are accompanied by them, so as not to hurt people by sea beasts, and they are responsible for the safety of those fishermen, and those fishermen concentrate on salvaging the treasures of the sea.
The sea area on that side was also placed under Claire's forbidden space, and anyone who sneaked into it couldn't escape his perception, and sent mages and knights to guard it to avoid some people who didn't have a long eye to steal and destroy something.
……
Nearly a week had passed since Reagan went to sea, and while Claire was having breakfast, Reagan had finally returned.
"Young master, the person has been brought to the living room."
"Hmm." Claire nodded, picked up the spoon and drank a spoonful of porridge, "I'll come over later." ”
As the father of Party A who acquires the family, it is okay to let him wait.
"This jeweler is not an ordinary jeweler, he used to be a well-known jeweler in the Kingdom of Jersey, but he was on the verge of bankruptcy because of poor management."
Claire raised an eyebrow, it was still a good acquisition target.
……
After pushing open the door in the living room, the figure on the sofa inside quickly stood up.
Claire also glanced at the man with her eyes, a middle-aged man in his forties and almost fifty years old, his appearance was nothing special, but he was a little haggard, and then looked at his outfit Although he looked very new and gorgeous, it was not difficult to see that Claire's eyes were cheap in that dress, which seemed to be specially prepared to meet Claire, and because of lack of money, he could only buy a seemingly expensive dress to wear to save face.
Sure enough, when Claire's gaze lingered on his clothes for a few seconds, the man's body couldn't help but bow down, as if he was afraid that Claire would see the cheeks of his clothes.
Claire was not a person who was willing to make things difficult for others, so she immediately took her eyes back and walked over.
"Sit down and talk."
And the man sat down with peace of mind after seeing Claire walk up to him and sit down.
"Hello Lord Claire, my name is Karen and I am a jeweler from Mariehamn." Cullen politely said that Reagan had told him about the incident and Claire's name before he came.
Marieport is the largest port city in the Kingdom of Jersey, the nature is the same as Hill City in the Kingdom of Ofa, compared to the current mermaid harbor in the Griffin Territory is much more developed, most of the jewelers in the Kingdom of Jersey are gathered here, and Claire also plans to start from Mariehamn.
"Karen." Claire muttered it in her mouth.
"That's right." Cullen nodded earnestly.
"Why did your jewelry store go bankrupt?" Claire asked if it was a matter of principle, such as what had caused the wind to be bad in the Kingdom of Jersey, he wouldn't buy it.
Such a jeweler bought it, and it was also to find something to do for himself.
Hearing this, a trace of emotion flashed in Karen's eyes, how could he never have imagined that he would fall to the point of bankruptcy.
"I didn't do well, my Mina jewelry store had already achieved the top five positions in the country, but I was not satisfied and wanted to go further. So I went on a big job to recruit talent, and then reformed my business model and stores, trying to go further and expand my market share, but things were different from what I thought, and things got worse and worse. I can say that I played myself to death. ”
Karen sighed to himself after speaking, this incident also gave him a very painful lesson, when his own business can still be profitable, don't care about the existing system, don't care about it. Otherwise, it will only make things worse.
The first is the latest.
