Those present were all close people, and at the public meeting, these people were also his supporters, and it was certainly impossible for Uzov to deliberately find fault with them. What's more, there is really good news for everyone gathered today.

Seeing that everyone's expressions softened, Uzov said: "Recently, the printing of magic scrolls at Kabanbay Academy has made good progress, and the Manroland printing press we built is the key to this. I'm sure that those who are interested in printing magic scrolls would also like to have a machine of the same kind, and try to contact you privately. ”

Seeing that someone wanted to try to defend himself, Uzov shook his hand and continued: "When the machine was assembled, you were all there to help and have seen the whole process. How to put all the parts together, who except my boss, can guarantee that he can do the same thing, let alone control the magic array and program of the machine. ”

"Yes, brother, that's what I told the man." Someone agreed with it. Suddenly realized that he had slipped out of his mouth, and he had really been in contact with outsiders, and he couldn't help but show a panicked expression.

To appease everyone's worries about being brought up again, Uzov said: "Don't worry, my boss didn't say that he wouldn't sell printing presses. So if anyone finds you, please bring them to talk to me directly. According to the agreed rules, whoever introduces the guests will have a referral bonus. ”

In the Technical Guild, there are some staff members who can speak well. In addition to helping to deal with some customers who like to pick and choose, another major responsibility is to take the initiative to run business and pull business. Just like the Chamber of Commerce, some nobles or magicians who think highly of themselves are waiting for the Chamber of Commerce steward to come to flatter, and will not take the initiative to contact the Chamber of Commerce, unless they are the objects of long-term cooperation.

Even if the big guys really want a certain product, they will only hint at their needs through the mouths of other people, knocking on the side of the chamber of commerce. At this time, the Chamber of Commerce had to take the initiative to send a steward to visit the door and do this business. The bathroom equipment business of the Technology Association is not specialized, but the same business model as the Midi Chamber of Commerce, sending people to take the initiative to visit those 'big shots'.

Of course, not only these employees can do business, but also every workshop owner or craftsman. As long as the commission is established, the construction is completed, and the remuneration is received, even if the person who finally participates in the construction does not include the introducer, you can receive a bonus called the referral fee. This is a rule that has been set for a long time, and Uzov is just repeating it.

The craftsmen were a little surprised by such an attitude and asked, "Does the big boss really say that?" ”

"It's a bastard if you don't make money. These are his exact words. Besides, if he sells a machine, he will do his best and get paid for it, so why not sell it. He's been researching lately, and magicians need financial support too. "Someone's great silk business, Uzhov also sees it.

The craftsmen of the Technology Guild are not ignorant of the world of magicians. So someone asked, "What about the great magicians of Kabanbai?" ”

Printed magic scrolls, led by the venerable Grand Magician. Moreover, the strength of the other party in the Holy City of Estali is no worse than that of the technical guild with the background of the Turtledove Alliance.

Everyone is used to doing things in this city full of magicians, and of course you need to think more about it to avoid getting involved in the conflict between magicians. In a matter like this one, the attitude of the great magician is also crucial.

Offending the Tech Guild now looks like you're only going to lose money to the point of pain. If you offend the great magician Kabanbai, you won't even be able to survive in the Holy City. The old man's apprentice is not a good-looking and fragile ornament.

Understand the worries of the people. However, these little things have long been in the hands of their own bosses. Uzov said in his infectious voice, "Rest assured, of course, Grand Magician Kabanbai has agreed to such a deal. ”

Seeing that everyone still didn't believe it, Uzov of course had to take some trouble to explain: "If it is the most primitive printing press version, of course, there is no such thing as the great magician. But the subsequent improvements are all their research results. If someone wanted to buy an improved version of the press, it would not be possible to do so without that person's permission. If you want to get such a license, a technical licensing fee for the great magician, of course, you can't run away. Therefore, in this matter, the Great Magician of Kabanbai is also beneficial. ”

"But no matter how many benefits there are, it won't be more profitable than monopolizing this technology." Craftsmen who have lived by their crafts all their lives will of course come to such conclusions and question such considerations. Of course, this is also what Uzov once had.

However, his own boss used the same reason to convince old Kabanbay and himself. Now change to yourself, to convince this group of craftsmen. Uzov said, "Do you think that a group of people and a machine to print magic scrolls alone can meet everyone's scroll needs?" By 'all' I mean the whole market of the Holy City, the whole market of the Empire, and even the whole of the Mazeland. ”

Perhaps his understanding of economics and business is still quite primitive, but Uzov, who was influenced by someone, has come to influence the people in the technology guild. Economic terms such as 'supply', 'demand', and 'market' are often used in guilds, so it's not unintelligible.

And the question of the leader of the Technology Guild, everyone thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case. According to the production efficiency I have heard, even if it is increased by ten times, no matter how large the scale of the workshop is, it will not be able to meet the needs similar to that of the bottomless pit.

The magic scroll is different from the bathroom equipment, the former is a consumable, and the latter is a semi-permanent construction. While the demand for the latter will not disappear completely, it will always slow down. But the former can be consumed as much as it is produced, and there is almost no upper limit to it.

As for playing hunger marketing in the fanciful land...... Guess what, the thugs who can't buy things will break up the people who did this? In a world of individual power, many considerations are different from those of Earth.

Moreover, when the research team led by the head of the Kabanbai Academy produced results, the old magician also discussed the follow-up plan with Lin. Even such a request for discussion was made by a timid and fearful traverser.

The reason why I will find trouble on my own is because I have never had experience in 'mass production'. In order to prevent the backer from playing to his death, someone feels the need to step in and step on the brakes, or direct the momentum to the path that will not self-destruct.

Although there is still a long way to go before the magic scroll is fully printed, the results at this stage are enough to shock the world. Not to mention the parts that can be printed, because the manual operation is reduced, the success rate of making scrolls has increased, and this alone makes the magicians who know the details excited.

And the need for magic scrolls has always been there, and it can't be satisfied. Because adventures will be used, wars will be used, pure warriors will be used, and even magicians will choose to use magic scrolls in dangerous places to improve their chances of survival, reserving their spellcasting ability when it is more urgent. Not to mention some life-saving magic scrolls.

Until this market demand, it is difficult to fully cover the technology. Unless the old mage can increase the production capacity to satisfy those who just want to use it, and don't think about profiting from it. At least in the two main groups that need this, first eliminate the pressures that may arise from one or the other.

This means increasing the number of people, increasing the number of presses, expanding the scale, and the most difficult point is to secure the source of raw materials. The materials used to make magic scrolls are not something that can be found on the streets. And if the source of materials is stuck, it is very likely that the previous investment will become a burden that crushes you.

In order to prevent those who also wish to profit from obtaining secrets through shady channels, it is necessary to have sufficient manpower to guard against such things. And the larger the size of the printing workshop, the more manpower is needed for guarding. But the most troublesome thing is not that the magician's peers are doing this, but the pressure from the national level. Or pressure from an empire, the Gwana Empire.

There is no doubt that the magic scroll is a strategic material in the fandom. The best situation for a country is, of course, to have such technology in its hands, and not to be in the hands of people beyond the control of the empire. After Lin asked such a question, neither Kabanbai nor anyone else involved in the discussion believed that the Gwana Empire would stand idly by.

In other words, if you choose to monopolize this technology, you must have the consciousness that you are the enemy of the whole world. Even on Earth, there are no key technologies at the military strategic level that are in the hands of civil society, except for the country that claims to be immigrants but is actually composed of chaebols.

And the way to break the game can be said to be familiar to someone. Since you can't eat a table of delicacies by yourself...... Then turn the table! Sprinkle all the soup and water on the ground, and whoever wants to eat it will lie on the ground and lick it himself.

Of course, Lin couldn't have used such a statement to convince the old magician Kabanbai. Rather, the results of the research are published in a way that recovers costs and generates profits, and those profits can be used to fund the next research.

At the same time, the demand market is so large that it is not a one-person family that has a way to monopolize it. The Academy continues to print magic scrolls for sale, a business that keeps research alive and brings in a steady stream of money. And those who can also print magic scrolls will invisibly form an alliance against other forces that seek to monopolize the technology. It doesn't matter if it's a man or an empire.

Finally, by publishing this technology for a fee, of course, you can gain fame. And it takes time for others to understand what is going on after they get the first-hand data. During this time, as long as your research is still ongoing, and you continue to make progress, you can maintain your position as a technological leader.
