"Lord Harran, just now in Severton I thought of a new plan that is conducive to a win-win situation for both parties, of course, this plan will not affect our current transaction, as for whether to cooperate or not, it is up to Lord Harlan to decide."

"What's the plan? Lord Shado, please say—" Charles Harlan's face remained unchanged, pretending to be calm.

His family knows about his own family affairs, and he can't ask for cooperation with Lord Xia Duo in his heart, but he won't show it on his face.

"Huh!"

Xia Duo smiled slightly, and took out a communication artifact produced by the Tower of Time from his carry-on space, which was a palm-sized, slightly misty transparent crystal ball, with a faintly glowing Tower of Time emblem in it.

He took the crystal ball and asked Harlan, "Lord Harran, have you ever seen this?" ”

"Of course I have, I have one! I think there are probably very few people in Severton who don't know the Tower of Time communication artifact now! That's what Lord Chado wants to say? ”

That is to say, but Charles Harlan knows very well that the communication magic weapon of the Tower of Time has always been sold by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and he has not heard of any contradictions between the two sides, how can this stable cooperative relationship change because of him?

"Lord Harran, don't worry, the cooperation I am talking about is not a communication magic weapon, but it is also related to a communication magic weapon, I use this communication magic weapon as an example, just to illustrate the production capacity of the Tower of Time!"

"Production capacity?"

Lord Harlan pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and all the fog dispersed, and he struggled to control his excitement and excitement, and asked calmly:

"Lord Xia Duo wants to cooperate with me in the Demon Slaying Arrow business in the same way that he cooperates with the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce with the Communication Magic Weapon? No! Is it a demon slaying amulet? ”

Perhaps even he hadn't noticed that there was a noticeable trilling in his words at the moment.

Xia Duo noticed this, but he didn't care too much, he didn't think about blackmailing or defrauding the other party, just talking about cooperation, if his request was not agreed to by the other party, it was useless for the other party to cry and call his mother.

If the other party agrees, or even eagerly agrees, Xia Duo will not ask for a sky-high price, after all, cooperation is based on win-win, not unilateral exploitation.

Thinking about it from another perspective, if he encounters a situation where he is asking for a sky-high price, even if he is forced by the situation, he agrees at the time, and when the situation reverses in the future, he will retaliate back.

Or even if you don't retaliate, and the cooperation itself, it will be dragged down in various ways, and it is important not to get the maximum benefit from the other party.

The ancestors often said that "harmony is precious", putting aside those unfathomable philosophical speculations, in fact, it is "win-win cooperation".

The caster is selfish, but more rational, knows how to reduce the risk, how to get the maximum benefit, and for those who don't know how to avoid risk, even if they win for a while, time will make them fall big.

Xia Duo has always been difficult to pursue the goal of maximizing interests, he has his own goals, the so-called interests, many times are also his tools to achieve his goals, when there is something, when there is abandonment, when abandoned, then abandoned.

Now that the Tower of Time has moved into the new system, the apprentice's three-year contract is only a third of the way through, but there are already signs of continuous promotion.

For nothing else, even if it is to place those full-time mages who are about to be promoted, Xia Duo has to work hard to fully integrate those new mages into the normal operation of the system, so that they will not be left out of the world, nor will they be free from the surface of the system.

Meeting with Lord Harran is inevitable, after all, he wants to buy his manor, and he reveals the information about the customization of high-quality magic items, but Lord Harlan took out the design drawings of the Demon Slaying Arrow and the Demon Slaying Talisman, it was purely an accident.

Xia Duo didn't know anything in advance, and he didn't predict it, but when the opportunity came in front of him, if he didn't seize it, would he still expect others to shoehorn it into his hands?

……

"Lord Harran, you guessed it right, what I wanted to talk to you about the cooperation of the Demon Slayer Talisman!"

Xia Duo first responded to Lord Harlan's speculation, and then said, "I don't know much about Harlan Lord, but let me guess, I think it should be difficult for Harlan Leader to produce enough demon slaying talismans in a short period of time!" ”

If there is no division of labor and cooperation, all the processes are responsible for the high-level mage, so as long as there is a slight mistake in the middle, the previous work will have to be reversed.

If you want to produce enough demon slaying talismans in a short period of time, you need enough high-level mages to fight for probability and time!

But with the strength of Lord Harran, Xia Duo was very suspicious that Harlan Lord could have many high-level mages now, if he wanted to find outsiders, then how many could he find? And at what cost?

Regarding Xia Duo's speculation, Charles Harlan's body trembled slightly, but he still pretended to be calm, but this situation can be easily investigated, and it is pointless for him to hide it here.

Then he thought of the cooperation that Lord Shado had said, and after only two moments, he said truthfully: "It is true that Harlan Territory alone cannot complete the entire production plan within the time limit. ”

In this regard, Xia Duo just nodded silently, knowing in his heart, so he said: "Since this is the case, what does Lord Harlan think about the Tower of Time undertaking part of the production OEM?" ”

"OEM?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Charles Harlan's eyes, he initially thought that Lord Xia Duo would ask to share the previous batch of orders he had obtained, but he didn't expect that it was just OEM.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

There is no pricing power without orders, and the income must be discounted in the first place, and the material premium cannot be earned if the OEM is foundry, why is this?

Xia Duo didn't explain much about this, did he want him to say that he could intercept scrapped Mithril in this way? Or do you want him to say that the OEM cost of the Tower of Time is far cheaper than the labor cost that the other party understands?

But for the Tower of Time, there is not much spare time to purchase materials for the Demon Slaying Talisman, so instead of vacating the capital flow to earn the little benefits that have no essential improvement, it is better to concentrate on OEM!

For the general mage tower, the profit may not be as high as owning the order, but for the tower of time, it is actually not less profitable than directly dividing the order.

This is actually similar to the difference between the mobile phone industry on the earth, the manufacturer who builds his own factory and the mobile phone foundry, the former is really not necessarily as profitable as the latter.

In particular, the latter's technology is constantly updated and iterative, which will only expand the profit margin, and even if the situation is suitable one day, it is not impossible to make your own mobile phone to occupy the profits.

"Lord Harran, don't doubt it, I'm talking about OEM, at present, all the resources of the Tower of Time are useful, and there is no new procurement plan in a short period of time, for a large order like the Demon Slayer Talisman, let the prepared Mage Tower pick it up!"
