"Lighting rods?"

Clifford's eyes widened as he looked at Jialan.

Jia Lan nodded, and waved the short metal staff in his hand: "A kind of alchemy product very similar to the Yongming Light Staff, a single-use product with low lighting brightness, short duration, and relatively low manufacturing cost...... It is similar to the nature of a torch, but it can be lit for more than 6 hours. ”

Clifford's eyes flashed: "You can mass produce?"

"It's not difficult to make this kind of low-grade alchemy product, but it takes a lot of time, and if I am alone, the lighting rod I make is barely enough for my own use, and I can't sell it to the outside world. ”

Jialan thought for a while: "After all, alchemy products are different from low-level potions that do not require high ability, and it is impossible to train ordinary employees to assist in production, and besides, I personally don't have so much time to be responsible for manufacturing alchemy products." ”

Clifford laughed, "So what if there is a group of alchemists to help you?" Jialan raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"New Sarn, the city of a thousand towers in Youjian Bay, Brulan County, is a famous alchemy holy place on the seven continents, and the headquarters of the Alchemy Guild is also there!"

Clifford smiled and said, "We can hire a group of New Sarn alchemists and alchemists, although the salaries that need to be paid to them are very expensive, but if we can build an alchemy workshop, any investment is worth it!"

Hearing that he could recruit an alchemist, Jia Lan couldn't help but be moved, his own strength was too weak, and it was too time-consuming to make some items, such as the exotic equipment he was trying to improve recently, if he could have a group of helpers. The progress will increase hundreds, if not thousands.

Jialan thought about it, for the sake of future development. It was still necessary to build an alchemy laboratory, so he nodded. With his current ability, most of the alchemy products that he could make at hand were low-level, but they should be enough in the early stage of development.

It doesn't seem like he is under the protection of the teacher now, his hands can be described as poor and white, don't look at the prospects of Kelai Potion It seems that the prospect is good, just with the current production capacity, the annual output value has reached a huge sum of nearly 30 million Quintalaan.

But the problem is that the money is stripped of the cost of Collei Medicine, and the reserved liquidity and development funds, leaving the amount that can be withdrawn at will. It wasn't even enough to complete the infrastructure he had conceived for the Colai Elixir.

According to Jialan's habit of presiding over more than a dozen super-large experimental bases for his teacher in the previous era, the cost of even purchasing one of the laboratory equipment was not enough, and the construction cost of a large alchemy furnace in the alchemy test base alone was probably more than 30 million gold coins.

So don't talk about the hardware facilities that burn money, the 30 million Quintalan funds a year, even if they are used as project funds for testing, are not enough for a few projects.

Especially when encountering the kind of mad mages who try to build astral passages, or try to reproduce the techniques of the ancient Netheran civilization. Then a little money is even more resistant, when Jialan was reviewing the plan of the mages to apply for the project for the former civilization, he encountered a snake spirit disease that planned to study the "Netherenergy Core" and build a floating continent......

As the mages said in their self-deprecating words, "The mage is the richest man in the world." But the poorest person in the world is also richer than a mage, because as a mage, he is always short of money!"

comparatively. Jialan is now almost nothing, and is a model of a spellcaster's self-made man.

Because of the lack of various arcane infrastructure. His arcane strength is theoretical, and it is extremely slow to improve. So far, he has only returned to the peak state of a high-level mage apprentice, and he has never been able to break through the rank limit and restore the strength of his former first-order mage.

The advancement of a mage is not like what some puffers imagine, fighting small monsters and accumulating combat experience can become a master, almost any successful mage relies on profound knowledge and huge experimental data to pile up.

Without the data support that the Coranburg Library can provide, and the data accumulated by various mage predecessors over thousands of years, even if a genius is like Jialan and has an empty head, he can only sigh at the vast mysteries...... Well, this exotic slang phrase describes it very vividly.

Clifford didn't know that so many thoughts had turned in his mind in such a short period of time, and he was just a tentative proposal, and he didn't expect Jialan to really agree.

He has long taken a fancy to Jialan's super abilities in the fields of medicine, alchemy, and enchantment, which can be seen from the various potions and alchemy products that Jialan has taken out, which are completely different from the basic products on the market that do not have private property rights, and there must be a huge group of senior magicians behind him.

As long as you can get a few rare alchemy product recipes from this group of high-level magicians, such as the lighting rod that Jialan just mentioned, it will be enough to support an alchemy workshop and feed an alchemy shop.

Unlike his old friend Clark, who focuses on the potion industry that benefits the Mercenary Guild, Clifford has bigger plans!

In this adventurous era of exploration, archaeology, exploration, and the development of relics of pre-civilization industries require a large number of special alchemy products and magical equipment, which ordinary craftsmen cannot satisfy adventurers and mercenaries.

Once he can get involved in this blank market full of hungry demand and set foot in this high-end field, what he can get is not only the gain in terms of benefits, but also the improvement of fame, prestige, and influence.

The two sides had their own needs, so they naturally hit it off, and Clifford didn't even bother to host the routine auction that had already begun, so he planned to discuss it with Jialan, and he couldn't wait to build the alchemy workshop tomorrow.

But Jialan smiled and calmed Clifford, who was burning with passion, saying that he still needed to make some preparations for the establishment of the alchemy workshop, and he would be notified when the time came.

However, he didn't plan to let Clifford be idle, and sent people to New Sarn, the city of a thousand towers, to recruit alchemists and alchemy craftsmen, as well as to store various conventional alchemy raw materials, which was naturally entrusted to him.

It was easy to calm down the excited President Clifford, and Jialan found that the auction had begun, and while casually watching the auction in the auction hall below from the balcony of the VIP reception room, she brought up the Hammer of Eternity Abandoned Warehouse that Clifford had just mentioned.

Clifford paused for a moment before remembering that, judging from the previous situation, this young magician not only had great strength in the fields of medicine, alchemy, and enchantment, but also seemed to have extraordinary abilities in the fields of archaeology and identification, which made him involuntarily look forward to the things in the Eternal Hammer Abandoned Warehouse.

Most of the items that Hammer Eternity has received in the course of many years of auctions, most of them are strange items whose value cannot be determined after being appraised by appraisers.

If the bidder insists on auctioning it, the auction house will suggest that they conduct a "zero reserve auction" and place it in several small auction rooms of the Hammer of Eternity for some wealthy people who plan to treasure the treasure to try their luck.

Except for a very small number of bidders who are willing to pay expensive appraisal fees and auction fees to get things back, the vast majority of bidders simply don't even want the unsold lots, and pay them directly to the Hammer of Eternity as auction fees.

This form of "zero reserve auction" was specially created by the head office of Hammer of Eternity to compete with several other large auction houses for market share.

First of all, the "zero reserve auction" has almost no operating costs, it is nothing more than to vacate a few small auction houses, and regularly put those strange items out of the way, no one can say whether there will be a few rare and mysterious good things that everyone does not know among those strange items, and one out of a thousand can be regarded as profitable.

Secondly, this form is also to cultivate a customer base, and the bidders who will choose the "zero reserve auction" are mostly adventurers and mercenaries, and some strange loot they get during the adventure, because they can't afford to pay the appraisal fee, they often have to sell it at a very low price on the stall, like those in the flea market.

These low-level mercenaries and adventurers will always grow up gradually, and there may be so many famous big names, and the Hammer of Eternity who has "helped" them will also be trusted by them and become loyal customers of the Hammer of Eternity.

Why not cultivate a customer base with a low-cost operation?

Because the appraisers of the auction house can occasionally find a few good things from this pile of worthless unsold lots, it is not easy to throw them away directly, and over time, this kind of strange items that are unsold accumulate more and more, and they have to set aside some warehouses for storage.

Although it's just a worthless weird thing, it's much better than the rags in the flea market anyway, and it's a boutique among the rags.

As soon as Jialan expressed his interest in those things, Clifford immediately decided to hire Jialan as a special appraiser for the hammer of eternity, specifically responsible for appraising those unsold lots.

And Clifford promised that if a good thing is identified, the auction cost will be deducted after the auction is deducted, and if it is an item that Jialan needs, it will be paid to Jialan at the cost price as a reward.

As he was talking, Jialan's eyes were suddenly attracted by an item being auctioned in the auction hall below. (To be continued......)
