Chapter 1135 The first batch of 100,000, mass production advantages
Xia Duo's tone was sincere, and he was a senior arcanist, even if Charles Harlan still had doubts in his heart, he would not show it to his face, but followed Xia Duo's words and asked him about the details of the OEM:
"I wonder how many demon slaying talismans the Tower of Time will provide by the end of June? What is the yield rate? How much does the foundry fee cost? ”
To this question, Xia Duo did not answer directly, but said: "Lord Harran does not need to doubt the strength of the Tower of Time, you can produce as many Times Towers as you need!" ”
Of course, there is an element of slapping a swollen face and making a fat man, but Xia Duo also has his own considerations.
Based on his past understanding of Harlan Ling, even if the other party sells assets to raise funds, but the demon slaying talisman needs to use at least second-grade high-grade Mithril, which is not something that the other party can buy casually.
After all, the Severynton Council has only opened up the refining technology of standard Mithril now, and there is no high-grade Mithril.
Of course, as a war order, Danzo or the elves will definitely provide a part of the high-grade Mithril for the use of Nessreal, but there are so many Nessreel, why should they give priority to the Lord of Harran?
If Lord Harran really has any great backers, then there is no need to fall to the point of selling his assets in a desperate position!
In addition, although Lord Harran has chosen to make a desperate bet, it is unlikely that he will bet all on the Tower of Time.
In other words, the OEM orders that the other party can provide are actually relatively limited, and Xia Duo also expects this.
……
On the other hand, Charles Harlan was overjoyed when he heard Xia Duo say that he could do as much as he could, but then he had more doubts.
It's really too exaggerated, looking at the entire Nesser, there are only about twenty companies with this kind of strength.
Except for the Mage Tower organization where the Grand Arcanist is located, other small organizations are basically unlikely.
And the Tower of Time? Charles remembers very well that it was only in the past few years that his fame suddenly soared, and the key element in this was Lord Chateau himself!
"His lady is a pupil of the princess, and is she going to follow the path of the Gillestall Tower, or through his teacher, through some channel of the Arcane Federation?"
Charles pondered the possibilities of this, and if it was a normal moment, Lord Chateau said so, he would be more than willing to hand over all the OEM orders to the other party.
After all, there is a contractual guarantee, as long as the amount of compensation for breach of contract is agreed in advance, he will not lose money.
But now, in case of a delay in the delivery date, it will be a big trouble, and it will be meaningless to him how much to lose.
Based on the risk considerations, Charles Harlan gave a more conservative figure after thinking about it carefully: "100 pieces of demon slaying talismans, is Lord Xia Duo willing to accept such an OEM order?" ”
Hearing such a number, Xia Duo couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he thought there would be many! I didn't expect it to be so much!
It's only 100 pieces, and even if he does it all by himself, he can finish it all in a month, and if you count the magic mechanics of the Tower of Time, then even if this number doubles, there won't be too many problems.
Of course, if you change to another senior arcanist or archmage, unless you are skilled in the manufacture of magical items, it is unlikely that you will complete it on time.
Xia Duo had not dealt with Lord Charles before, and now that the two sides were still in the stage of building trust, it was actually quite good for the other party to provide this amount of orders.
"Of course 100 pieces will be accepted, as for the OEM fee and the yield rate-"
Speaking of this, Xia Duo deliberately paused, and then quoted two figures that had been considered for a long time: "The OEM fee is calculated according to 1,000 gold coins per piece, and the yield rate is seventy!" ”
This price is slightly lower than the labor cost of general high-grade talismans on the market, and a magic talisman starts at least 2000 on the market, and the premium inside is quite high.
And high-grade talismans, that is, tiny magic items that contain more than 5 rings of protective spells, have a starting price of at least 5,000 gold coins.
Of course, the cost is also different, low-level talismans or simple talismans, the cost price is sometimes pitiful, it may just be the labor cost of the caster, just like the simple psychic talisman that Xia Duo gave Evans before.
The material is a gold coin, but he can only have an additional premium if he casts a spell by a senior arcanist, in fact, a high-level mage can also make such a simple talisman, but the price of the two is obviously different.
As for the high-level talisman, if it is a magic constant class, then it can only be made by the archmage or a senior arcane master, and the material cost is basically negligible, but the constant spell itself is a high threshold and extremely energy-consuming work.
How many archmages or senior arcanists are willing to work so hard? The price can be imagined, generally that is, there is no money on hand, so it will do a few turnovers.
If it is a Mithril component type, the production threshold is so low that ordinary high-level mages can make it, but the material cost of a high-level talisman is at least 1000 gold coins, and the yield rate must be considered.
As for the labor cost of the caster, it is calculated according to the individual, the asking price may be extremely high or low, but it is not less than 1000 gold coins, which is already the most basic tacit understanding between the casters.
Xia Duo charges an OEM fee of 1,000 gold coins per piece, which is completely within the normal range in the eyes of ordinary people, and it is relatively sincere.
It's just that for Xia Duo and the Tower of Time, the foundry fee of 1,000 gold coins will be broken down into the wages of different levels of magic technicians, which is actually replacing the labor cost of high-level mages with the labor costs of low-level mages.
High-level mages work less and get less money, which is very intuitive in general.
The 1,000 gold coins, in fact, Xia Duo has to pay the Tower of Time Mage at most, is only 5 or 600 at most, even if he does it all by himself, he will also break down the process and make the last step by himself, instead of one person covering it all from beginning to end.
As for the yield rate of seventy percent, it is even more boring.
The Magic Technician Department of the Tower of Time was able to achieve a sixty percent pass rate in the initial production of communication magic weapons in mass production, and now even if it produces high-grade talismans, the pass rate will not be much worse if it has experience in mass production.
On the contrary, it is a high-level mage who does the last step, and because of the lack of mass production experience, it may be a little unaccustomed at first, but as long as they do a few more, standardization can make them become skilled workers as quickly as possible!
Not to mention that there is also Xia Duo, the scrapped Mithril materials can be completely refined, and it is said that the yield rate is seventy percent, but it can actually be seen as one hundred percent.
The 30% market price of more than 40,000 materials is considered an additional foundry fee.
This single 100-piece Demon Slaying Talisman is OEM, and the Tower of Time can earn almost a small 100,000, maybe Lord Harlan can't make 100,000 by selling these to Danzo.
What's more, the final payment will be withheld and will not be released until the war stabilizes.
OEM is really a good deal that makes sure you don't lose money!
Even, if Xia Duo repeatedly refines the Mithril in the three-percent material into a first-class product, and then sells it as a high-quality magic item, then the profit will be even higher.
