Early in the morning, Selena got up. She thought about it for a long time last night, but she still didn't understand why she had made a mistake.

In her opinion, it was just a pen, even if it was inlaid with gems and gold, it would not be very expensive, and the main thing was that the material was expensive, and it was not about the pen. This time, I came to buy the ownership of this fountain pen, mainly because it was a fountain pen invented by a mage, and if it was engraved with a magic circle, there should be nobles who liked it.

When she came to the house, she saw Jia Yi practicing boxing, stretching and stretching, full of charm. It's pretty good, but it doesn't seem to be useful if it's soft.

"Jiayi, what are you practicing?" asked Selena curiously.

"This is the way the mage exercises his body, strengthens his body. ”

"Do mages still need to exercise? I've seen other mages, and they all seem to be taking potions. I've seen a bottle of physique growth potion that can strengthen a person's physique, make them stronger, and even there can be strengthened. At the end, Selena couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Jia Yi couldn't help but have a black line, he is so small, is it appropriate to say this?

After finishing work, he gathered momentum, shouted "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending" in his head, and pushed it out with both hands. Between his palms, suddenly a gust of wind blew out.

It wasn't the palm wind, it was the magic in his body. Because the magic power is combined with Tai Chi, he has no other way to apply it, so he compares it to internal force, which is carried in the body. Still thinking about shooting out of the body like an internal force, this palm wind is the result of his research for several months, and it is also the only result.

After breakfast, Selena found Kaichi and said, "Let's be honest, although your pen is relatively novel, only the one engraved with magic is relatively novel, if you want to sell it, we need to find a master to set precious stones, use precious metals, these are very costly." I'll be blunt, your pen isn't worth that much. ”

Jia Yi said: "I want to ask, does your chamber of commerce sell quills?

"Our most expensive is the incense pen, which is made from the wings and feathers of the incense spear falcon, and the master weaves a circle on the quill, which can make the words written last for a long time and be preserved for months. Such a pen costs about 100 gold coins. Selena said.

"100 gold?" Kaichi's eyes widened, "and then you want to buy out my pen for 300 gold?"

"Do you think that the incense pen is very simple? it can only be made by a master pen maker who is proficient in magic, and the incense spear falcon is a very cunning magical beast, and it may not be able to hunt a few every year, and there are only 6 or 7 feathers on the wings, and only the best two are used for the top pen. The material alone costs more than half of the cost, plus the cost of the pen maker, you can't make much money at all, and if there is damage in the pen making process, it is likely to lose money. Selena spoke louder and louder, as if she had been wronged by something.

"The best one we sell is a black swan quill, which is only a few dozen silver coins a piece. ”

"Do you know the price of the top-of-the-line rune pen?" asked Kaichi.

"I, I don't know, how much?" Selena's tone couldn't help but weaken a little, isn't it particularly expensive?

"I don't know how much, but I know that there are no cheap things for mages, so you come with me. Jia Yi took Selena to his high-temperature furnace, "This is a furnace, used to make iron, it is actually very simple, but a magic circle is drawn on it, and it costs nearly a hundred gold coins." ”

Selena looked closely, "This stove looks very simple." ”

"It's because it's so simple, it's so cheap. For ordinary people, 100 gold coins are already very valuable, and it is not a small amount of money to be a nobleman in time. But for a mage, it might just be money for a magic experiment.

"And my fountain pen is not a simple toy for nobles to enjoy and show off, but a necessary item that every mage needs. ”

Selena and the others are in the luxury business, so I don't know if they didn't think of this, or because they didn't want to think of it. Speaking of which, luxury goods have a price, but there is almost no upper limit to the price of cutting-edge scientific research instruments. For example, laser cutting machines range from tens of thousands at the bottom to millions or even tens of millions at the top.

For example, the most cutting-edge Large Hadron Collider costs hundreds of billions of RMB, and every time it is used, it costs a lot of money, and it needs to be maintained after it is used up, and it is money, which is a bottomless pit.

"You're trying to sell this pen to the mage community?" said Selena, "but we don't have that channel, and it's not an easy matter. ”

Jia Yi said: "To be honest, after I understand your business, I have no interest in selling it to you, and you can't give full play to the full utility of my fountain pen, and you don't even have channels. Also, I don't think you have a clear idea of the position of the fountain pen. ”

"Then what do you want?" Originally, Selena was not so determined to get this treatise, but after Kaichi rejected her offer, she just wanted to see what he had to say. Now, after listening to Jiayi's explanation, she thinks it's really a big business.

This fountain pen will not only make money, but most importantly, it will help their chamber of commerce to open a path to the mage community. Every mage needs a pen, although not every mage needs the best fountain pen.

She continued: "And you have to understand that your pen is not complicated, and the best pen makers can buy the personal use of your paper and make and sell it themselves. ”

"But they pay a high fee, my license is 10% of the selling price, and the most important nib and capillary structure of the pen cannot be bypassed. For 100 gold for a fountain pen, I have 8 gold for the license. Kaichi said.

Because mages often have to experiment and make tools by themselves, if every paper used must be authorized by the original author, it will be too troublesome, it will restrict academic communication, and go against the original intention of the paper system. Therefore, personal use of patents does not require direct authorization from the original author, and can be directly authorized through relevant institutions. It's just a little higher than the use of the Chamber of Commerce, and it can only be made and sold by itself, and the Chamber of Commerce is not allowed. But it's so simple and convenient that you don't even need to be authorized if you don't leave the lab.

"You don't want us to pay 10%, do you? Engraving a circle for a pen is the big deal, if you want to make a pen that meets your standards, the inscription circle will account for at least 60% to 80% of the cost, and give you another 10%, we don't have to make money. Selena's eyes widened and she said.

Kaichi asked, "Can you call the shots?"

"Of course—" She seemed to think of something, and changed her words, her voice weakening, "No. ”

Feeling that she was almost blown, Jia Yi said: "Now that you also understand the prospects of this fountain pen, let me propose a plan, we will partner to build a sub-chamber of commerce, as a subordinate chamber of commerce of your chamber of commerce, which is responsible for the production and production of fountain pens." Not only can we make high-end rune pens, but we can also make pens that can be used by ordinary people. After all, fountain pens are much more convenient than quills.

"If the licensing fee is high, you don't think it's cost-effective, after all, the principle of the fountain pen is actually very simple, but if the cost is low, I will never agree, after all, the prospect of the fountain pen is here, and the core technology is also in my hands. Of course, you don't have the right to make this decision, so take it back and discuss it with your person in charge. ”

Selena might have been a little happier if it hadn't been for that last sentence, and now, the whites of her eyes were about to roll out.

On the way back, Selena found that all her thoughts were taken away by Jia Yi, and the initiative and the right to speak were all controlled by him, and she no longer paid attention to the fact that he was just a child whose hair had not yet grown, and even that he had not even begun to grow hair.

Sure enough, every mage needs extraordinary intelligence, even if it's an apprentice.
