Chapter 1342 Additional Orders, Short-term Dividends
After completing the delivery of the first order and making a lot of money, Xia Duo was in a very comfortable mood, and when he negotiated the next order with Lord Harran, he was even more calm.
"After a month of training, the Tower of Time has the ability to fulfill more orders, and if Lord Harran is willing to trust the Tower of Time, the Tower will not disappoint you at that time."
"Of course I believe in the Tower of Time, I believe in Lord Xia Duo, and I am also willing to deliver more orders to the Tower of Time, but there is still a small problem here, I need to get your confirmation first!"
"What's the problem?" Shado asked.
"It's a matter of time."
Charles Harlan remembered the days when he contacted Lord Xia Duo every day a few days ago, and although the other party did not break the agreement, he was also very sure that the other party intended to delay the delivery of the order.
"If I can, I want the Tower of Time to be delivered as soon as the order is completed, and we will be responsible for any additional personnel costs incurred during the period!"
"Thisβ" Xia Duo was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Then I wonder how long Lord Harlan expects to produce?" β
"How about fifteen days?" Charles Harlan tentatively spoke a time.
The first order seems to take a month, but because this is the first order, there will definitely be more time, and the relevant personnel will become more and more familiar with it, which will definitely save a considerable part of the time.
When he said this number, Charles actually didn't have much bottom in his heart, because the same order would be handed over to other mage tower organizations, and the time would only be more than a month, not less.
In this regard, Xia Duo naturally couldn't agree, he didn't even want to pay the expedited fee, and he wanted to deliver it in advance, which was simply wishful thinking.
"Lord Harran, you must know that every single person who can make a demon slaying talisman is a high-level mage, and it is impossible for any mage tower to force a high-level mage to do something he is not willing to do, unless-"
"Unless what?"
ββ¦β¦β
Xia Duo suddenly rolled his eyes, this is so obvious, don't you understand? Unless you add money!
"Ahemβ"
As a last resort, Xia Duo had no choice but to put it more bluntly, "If Lord Harran is willing to increase the OEM fee for a single Demon Slaying Talisman, the High Mage of the Tower of Time may be willing to devote more of his personal time to completing your order. β
Now, Charles Harlan can understand why Lord Xia Duo has not replied to his summons before, it turns out that it is because of this!
From a rational point of view, it is very beneficial for him to gain greater efficiency by adding money, but he is always a little unwilling, and he can complete it without adding money, so why do he have to add money?
It's just that no matter how stupid he is, he can't say these words to his face, so he proposed another plan, "Just now I looked at the quality of those demon slaying talismans, and I believe that the yield of the Tower of Time is definitely more than seventy percent, and I think it can be changed to another way of cooperation-
"The premise of an order of 100 pieces a month remains the same, but at the end of the month, for every additional piece delivered by the Tower of Time, I can buy it at a price of 3,000 pieces."
This is actually a disguised increase in money for efficiency, but the timeline of each order is extended to one month, according to Charles's calculations, the price of 3000 gold coins per piece, even if it is a normal purchase order, the Tower of Time is also profitable.
Not to mention the extra materials from OEM orders.
It's just that this time, Xia Duo still didn't agree, it's not that the additional acquisition plan is not good, of course 3000 pieces have to be earned, after all, a demon slaying talisman, 1000 finished materials, 1000 OEM market price 1000, and the remaining 1000 is pure earning.
For others, for the Tower of Time, you will only earn more.
It's just that in this way, it doesn't meet Xia Duo's original intention, to make money, but it can't sell death power, according to Lord Harran's new plan, the Tower of Time does make a lot of money, but it is also tied to this order.
After thinking about it, Xia Duo directly said his final plan-
"First of all, Tower of Time only accepts month-end delivery; Secondly, for orders of 100 pieces, the foundry fee is 1000 gold coins per piece, for orders of 150 pieces, the foundry fee is 1500 gold coins per piece, and for orders of 200 pieces, the foundry fee is 2000 gold coins per piece, up to 200 pieces directly per month. β
Xia Duo is not willing to be too deeply bound to the Lord of Harran, and if he wants to increase efficiency, it is very simple, just add money, that kind of additional purchase seems to be good, but in fact, it has really turned the Tower of Time into a foundry.
"The Sword Comes"
The OEM of the Tower of Time is only a means to make money and earn materials, not the ultimate goal.
The remaining materials processed by incoming materials are more important to Xia Duo, whether it is to continue to produce demon slaying talismans, other magic items, or to maintain the Tower of Time, they are relatively flexible.
At the same time, he didn't worry about Lord Harlan running away, he had tasted the high efficiency of the Tower of Time, and then changed to other mage tower organizations, or some individual order-takers, the experience was completely incomparable.
Sure enough, after Xia Duo said his final plan, Lord Harran was silent, frowning and thinking about it, but he didn't leave.
Of course, the asking price of this plan is too high, but such a foundry with consistent quality and high efficiency naturally has the confidence to shout such a price.
When other mage towers are popularized and mass-produced, it is not too late to fight a price war at that time.
Of course, this kind of price is only valid for a few months before the design of the Demon Slayer Talisman is released, and over time, it is most efficient to purchase the finished product from a large number of high-level mages.
But there will definitely be various problems at that time, such as the unstable quality of the talismans produced by different groups of people, the need to add extra inspection time, or the high-level mages have to organize and complete the production tasks for their own mage towers, and the delivery of private orders is delayed.
Xia Duo knew that Lord Harran had obtained the military order directly from the dwarven prince, and he had obtained it in advance, so how could he use a batch of miscellaneous goods with too different qualities to make a difference!
Of course, it is necessary to choose the tower of time, a guaranteed "brand manufacturer"!
In fact, as Xia Duo expected, Lord Harran thought for a long time, and finally agreed to Xia Duo's plan, and the second batch of orders directly filled the limit given by Xia Duo-
200 pieces in January, the foundry fee is 2,000 gold coins per piece, but the yield rate has increased slightly, reaching eighty.
On the issue of the yield rate, Xia Duo and Lord Harlan negotiated back and forth for a long time, and Lord Harlan was very firm in this regard, and finally settled on eighty percent.
If you want another seventy percent, it is estimated that it will not be worth the OEM fee of 2,000 per piece.
Of course, Xia Duo also deliberately made concessions after some difficult negotiations, otherwise it would have come too easily, and the other party would not necessarily cherish it.
Actually, Xia Duo doesn't care much about the problem of earning more and earning less, the key is to make a deal, you can make money with a deal, and you can also earn materials, and it provides job opportunities for the magic technicians of the Tower of Time.
On the premise of win-win, try to fight for your own interests as much as possible.
Without the premise of win-win, even if you earn more in the short term, you will lose more in the long run.
