Chapter 1621 Test the team, set the standard
"How's it going, President? Did the test go well? Ganar asked.
"There were some minor issues, but they didn't have a big impact."
Xia Duo noticed that there were two communication devices in Garner's hand, one was the first generation and the other was the second generation, but the first generation obviously had a spiritual disorder, which showed that in terms of high-frequency transmission, the first generation was still inferior to the second generation.
"Garner, um-" Xia Duo stopped talking and thought for a moment before continuing, "I intend for the Magic Mechanics Department to set up a testing team to test all kinds of magical items produced by the Tower of Time. ”
"Test team?"
Garnal paused for a moment, a little puzzled, and asked, "Don't we already have a test link?" Why dedicate a test team? ”
"The test I'm talking about is not the same as the test on the various production lines of the Magic Mechanics Department, and the test I'm talking about is a simulation of the various possible scenarios in which the user can use the Tower of Time product."
Xia Duo explained briefly, and gave a few examples, "For example, whether magic items will fail in the chaotic environment of the magic web, how long the ultimate service life is, whether they can be used normally after a certain blow, and so on." ”
"Do you want to do this kind of test?" Garner imagined it for a moment, and the confusion on his face was heavier, "Is this kind of test any good for us?" Do we care what others do with it?
"And a test like the one the president said is bound to be a lot of consumption, is it really necessary?"
In Garner's view, if a product is sold, the money is paid off, and if the buyer is not satisfied, he can be completely dissatisfied, and since he chooses to buy, he has to bear all kinds of risks.
Anyway, he'd never heard of anyone selling magic items and being responsible for the effects of their subsequent use!
In this regard, Xia Duo did not talk about the conscience of the manufacturer, but explained from the perspective of competition, "In the future, there will definitely be more than one tower of time that can mass-produce magic items, if the reputation is not good, others will naturally not choose the products of the tower of time, can we still use knives to force people to pay money?"
"As for the test consumption you mentioned, this belongs to the production cost, which is nothing more than a higher price, and the profit margin of the Tower of Time product is not low, so you don't have to worry about this."
Although there is a saying in Chado's hometown that "bad money drives out good money", he also believes in the power of quality.
Taking advantage of the immaturity of the market and the fact that the price war has not yet begun, the Tower of Time still has a huge low-cost advantage for a considerable period of time, and has formulated a relatively benign standard for the market.
In the long run, it's good for everyone, and certainly good for the Tower of Time.
Xia Duo was not prepared to be a ruthless capitalist, he wanted to be the founder of an advanced civilization, which was undoubtedly not advanced than bad.
In fact, as a standard-setter, you must be able to grab more benefits, and some things seem to be lost, but in fact, you win.
Although there may not be any significant results in the short term, the future will never fail him.
……
In the establishment of the test team, Garner was too contemptuous, Xia Duo nodded a little, but he did not give a specific time for the establishment, but let Garner act cheaply.
At present, the main task of the Magic Technician Department is to complete various production work, especially the second-generation communication magic weapon, and it is not too late to set up a test team when the manpower is a little more abundant.
Chado believes that Garner can tell the difference.
……
Next, Xia Duo didn't test anything more, the second-generation communication magic device was designed by him, and he had made many experimental versions before.
Except for the pre-reception function of information, which is difficult for him to operate alone, there is basically no problem with other functions.
Since there is no problem with the pre-reception function now, Xia Duo is relieved, even if there is really any problem, it will not affect the use of the core function, which is enough.
A product cannot be in place and perfect everywhere, as long as you want to find the problem, you can always find the problem, and fix it in the next generation of products.
In this process, the feedback of the purchaser is very important, and Xia Duo plans to ask the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to help him collect this information.
With market trial and error, it can be regarded as a mature business model on the earth, as long as it is not deliberately rotten, like a certain Guo knows that almost everyone is complaining about the small battery capacity, but it just doesn't change, this is rotten.
Test team + after-sales feedback, Xia Duo believes that the market for Nesser's magic items will mature quickly.
Of course, it is also very important to cultivate the market, that is, to let consumers have money in their hands, if there is no money, no matter how mature and perfect the market is, it is useless.
In other words, there is no market without consumers.
In this regard, Chardo has very little influence on territories outside the South, especially in systems like Nethriel, where a single territory is almost an independent kingdom, so in markets outside the South, his target consumer group is actually spellcasters.
In the south, the majority of the people who gradually became rich in the process of downward transfer of wealth.
Only by allowing wealth to circulate can we encourage innovation and promote production, and if it is only a pool of stagnant water, the impetus for the progress of civilization will shrink to the extreme.
Could it be that the so-called "thirst for truth" alone has made a large group of mages desperately rush forward?
It's not that Xia Duo hasn't seen a mage who longs for the truth, but he dares to pack a ticket, the vast majority of Nessreel's mages are not pursuing the truth after all.
Fooling around, seeking fame, profit, and power, mages are also laymen, and they have all kinds of desires, but power allows them to put all kinds of desires into practice.
The desires of countless people are intertwined, compatible, confrontational, and compromised with each other, forming the current fairly stable situation of Nessreel.
Xia Duo in the south can still call the shots, but as for the outside of the south realm, he can only slowly influence and change step by step.
……
After determining that the second-generation communication instrument has been able to be mass-produced, the follow-up is the improvement of the yield and output, and Xia Duo's heart is tense and a string is slightly loosened.
However, the Demon Limit Treaty is in front of him, he still doesn't dare to relax completely, the elves' hearts are not dead, and before there is no power that can really make a final decision, we must always be vigilant and not lose our sense of crisis.
……
The third day of Said's arrival.
In Savile Town, the Tower of Time and the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce officially signed a consignment agreement on the second generation of the Tower of Time's communication magic device.
Maybe it's the influence of the Restricted Demon Treaty, or maybe it's because President Jenna has explained, this negotiation, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce has always been more restrained.
In this regard, Xia Duo also instructed Deric, who was in charge of the negotiations, not to have to negotiate with each other, and the negotiations were completed in only one and a half days in a friendly atmosphere between the two sides.
In the final agreement, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce promised to sell the second-generation communication device of the Tower of Time, and the terminal sales price was set at 10,000 gold coins, and the advance payment was 5,000 gold coins, and the balance payment was settled quarterly.
For the elf market, especially the market of the Akora Kingdom, which has been completely opened, Xia Duo did not ask for sharing, nor did he care if the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce would take the second-generation communication magic device to process it and sell it to the elves.
Correspondingly, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce did not refuse Xia Duo's request for user feedback, which was clearly written in the agreement.
