My Magic Age
Chapter 1279 83. Letter
Last summer, the five major mithril mines in the Ahn'Qiraj plane fell into the hands of the Nakma people.
These five major mithril mines are one of the most important mithril ore suppliers in the Rune Plate Industrial Zone of San Carlos City. In order to ensure that the plane war and the rune plate orders of the great lords can be delivered smoothly, the Babington family once stopped the production of low-level blank mithril magic rune plates, resulting in almost no mithril blank magic rune plates in the magic market of the imperial capital. This situation lasted for several months.
The adamantium magic rune plate was designed by Qi Ge and me at that time.
The initial reason for the design was that Qi Ge's magic laboratory was full of choking smoke all day long due to the refining of magic herbs. At that time, in order to solve this problem, Qi Ge and I worked together to make an exhaust fan. Later, we found that this kind of magic item had a great market prospect, so we thought of opening a rune plate workshop.
At that time, the junior inscription masters in the imperial capital were basically in a state of suspension because they could not buy blank mithril rune plates.
During that period, the junior inscription masters in the imperial capital could hardly make any money. It was not until the appearance of the fine gold magic rune plate that those junior inscription masters found work again. However, in order to meet the production and processing needs of the exhaust fan at that time, the fine gold magic rune plate produced by the rune plate workshop could only be used to make the "miniature tornado" magic rune array.
The junior inscription masters in the imperial capital had complaints about this. For these junior inscription masters, the "miniature tornado" rune plate was a brand new magic rune array, and they needed a lot of practice to go from unfamiliar to proficient.
Moreover, at the initial stage of drawing the "miniature tornado" rune plate, many inscription masters basically made no money.
Although a "miniature tornado" rune plate left a lot of profit space for the inscription masters, the inscription masters had to pay for their failures, so until later when they practiced the "miniature tornado" magic rune array proficiently enough, they reversed the embarrassing situation of not being able to get work and not making money.
At that time, the Rune Plate Workshop owned by Qi Ge and I was the only one that could produce the rune plates with adamantium magic patterns. Moreover, we needed to deal with a large number of orders for exhaust fans, so we never made other types of rune plates. This was the main reason why the junior inscriptionists in the imperial capital were dissatisfied with me.
So much so that after receiving orders from the rune plate workshop, those inscriptionists would rather say that the drawing failed and pay compensation according to the selling price than sell the drawn ‘miniature tornado’ rune plates back to the rune workshop.
As a result, a number of workshops specializing in the production of exhaust fans were born in the imperial capital, and these exhaust fan workshops quickly occupied the magic market with a series of means. Nick, the manager of the rune plate workshop, was not good at capturing business opportunities in the market. Instead, he thought this was a good opportunity to expand the scale of the rune plate workshop and began to increase the production scale of the adamantium magic pattern rune plates.
Nick implemented his idea last fall, gave up the production of exhaust fans, and devoted himself to the production of adamantium magic pattern rune plates.
Until the victory of the war in the Kenda plane, the news that His Majesty Charles decided to retake the Ahn'Qirajdo plane came out, and a large amount of mithril mines reappeared in the magic market. The blank mithril rune board quickly made the adamantine magic rune board unpopular in the magic market with its lower price and convenient and free combination of magic rune arrays.
My rune board workshop was once in a dilemma. At that time, Nick and Brennan, under the lobbying of Ivan and Diego, took all the craftsmen in the rune board workshop to the rune board workshop newly opened by Ivan and Diego. My rune board workshop was once closed during that period.
Since the junior inscriptionists in the imperial capital at that time had long been accustomed to the shape of the adamantine magic rune board substrate, the blank mithril rune board transported from San Carlos City was very different from it. It was not impossible to redesign the 'miniature tornado' magic rune array based on the shape of the blank mithril rune board, but it would take a lot of energy and money for the inscriptionists to get familiar with the new shape of the magic rune array.
At that time, exhaust fans were extremely popular in the imperial capital, and the imperial capital needed a large number of "miniature tornado" rune plates, so the orders for "miniature tornado" rune plates were easy to receive. Ivan and Diego saw such a business opportunity and opened a Mithril Rune Plate Workshop that produces the appearance of the adamantium magic rune plate. The entire production line and rune plate punching mold in the workshop were designed for this purpose.
Later, they poached people from my rune plate workshop because Nick and the craftsmen were more familiar with these rune plates than others.
In the first two months, Ivan and Diego's rune plate workshop had a very prosperous business.
However, the good times did not last long. With the arrival of winter, the sales of exhaust fans entered the off-season, and all rune plate workshops became less prosperous.
After I returned to the Imperial City from the Vashj Plane, I bought a batch of dwarf slaves from the Imperial City's slave market, and after I developed the first magic engraving machine in the Xinliugu blacksmith workshop, the copper magic pattern 'Fire Gathering' rune plate appeared in various magic markets in the Imperial City. Ivan and Diego discovered such a business opportunity and began to use the profits of the previous few months to build a production line for imitating the 'Fire Gathering' rune plate.
Ivan and Diego wanted to continue the previous model, making a blank mithril rune plate according to the appearance of the copper magic pattern 'Fire Gathering' rune plate, and then asked the junior inscription master in the Imperial City to draw a simple 'Fire Gathering' magic pattern array.
They originally thought that I had set the price of the ‘Fire Gathering’ rune plate and copper hot pot so low just to use my financial advantage to attack other rune plate workshops and make them give up the production of ‘Fire Gathering’ rune plates, and then monopolize the copper hot pot market in the imperial capital. They and some rune plate workshop owners tried to produce ‘Fire Gathering’ rune plates.
According to Ivan and Diego’s plan, they wanted to use the income from the ‘Mini Tornado’ rune plate to make up for the losses of the ‘Fire Gathering’ rune plate. What they didn’t expect was that after winter turned to spring, the price of the ‘Fire Gathering’ rune plate not only did not increase, but even the price of the ‘Mini Tornado’ rune plate would be below the production cost level. Since this spring, their rune plate workshop has been in a loss.
With the innovation of magic seal machine manufacturing technology, the manufacturing cost of rune plates in the magic seal workshop has dropped again. In order to ensure the market share of the "Fire Gathering" rune plate and the "Miniature Tornado" rune plate, the price of the two copper magic rune plates has been reduced for the second time. This is undoubtedly a double whammy for Ivan and Diego's rune plate workshop.
If it was just a rune plate workshop, it would not affect the lives of Ivan and Diego, who were born in the upper aristocracy.
What really put them in a debt crisis was that Prince George and Quentin collected military supplies for the Ahn'Qiraj multi-plane war. These young people were so bold that they actually reached out to the magic herb market, and they wanted to rely on Prince George's power and status to force some magic herb merchants to sell magic herbs to them at a fair price or a low price.
Prince George and Quentin were the implementers of this action plan, and although Ivan and Diego did not participate directly, they raised money to participate in the shares.
Sometimes when a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will make his teeth ache. Ivan and Diego obviously encountered such a thing.
Marvin and I sat in the magic caravan, and we talked about Ivan and Diego almost all the way.
Some of the news about their rune board was heard from Alia, and some was told to me privately by Murray. If Shirley hadn't mentioned the plight of Ivan and Diego in the morning, I'm afraid I still don't know that they have been chased for debts recently.
And now their rune board workshop is in a business crisis. If they still insist on losing money to produce the "Fire Gathering Technique" and "Mini Tornado" rune boards, I'm afraid there will be no chance of turning around.
"When you invited me to the imperial capital, you originally planned to help you open up the market for "Fire Gathering Technique", "Mini Tornado", "Micro Lighting Technique" and "Continuous Frost" in the imperial capital?" Marvin asked me casually while sitting in the carriage.
The aroma of tree oil drifted in from the window. The trees on both sides of the street had slowly sprouted new buds. I said to Marvin, "Yes! I just didn't expect that this would happen to Qige's trading company. I was originally planning to make a batch of "Water Gathering" rune boards next. This is the biggest piece of cake in the rune board market, but now Murray's rune board workshop is a bit too busy, and the rune board assembly workshop also needs to expand its production scale."
Marvin leaned on the soft leather sofa and asked me, "You keep occupying the market for primary rune boards like this. Are you really going to drive those primary inscription masters out of the imperial capital, or make them admit their mistakes?"
"I don't expect those inscription masters to admit their mistakes to me!" I shook my head and said, "I just simply think that some primary magic items should have entered our lives long ago, and now may be a good opportunity."
The good opportunity I mentioned refers to the plane war that caused the magic crystal to depreciate significantly.
I looked at the rune plates on the square table in the carriage and said, "These magic items should not be luxury goods owned by the upper class nobles. The plane war has reduced the price of magic crystal fragments again and again. Ordinary noble families can probably afford it. What we need to do now is to change the consumption concept of the people in the imperial capital."
Marvin retracted his gaze and asked me seriously, "Is there anything you want to tell me when I go to Guludin Town to meet those orcs?"
"..." I was stunned for a moment.
Marvin smiled at me and said, "Don't any of your orc warriors want to take a letter to the orc tribe?"
"I'll go back and ask them." I said to Marvin.
At present, the Magic Seal Workshop only processes the magic rune plates of "Fire Gathering", "Miniature Tornado", "Glimmer Illumination", and "Continuous Frost", but I still have many ideas. I also think that if there is a chance, I can put the "Frost" rune plate and the "Miniature Tornado" rune plate together, so that I can make a cooler that blows cold air in summer. The summer in the imperial capital is actually quite hot, and this kind of cooler should be very popular.
In addition, I also want to design a magic stove with two Fire Gathering rune plates inlaid on it. This stove is much more reliable than simply placing a Fire Gathering rune plate on the stove.
When Marvin and I walked out of the copper shop, the owner of the copper shop personally sent us to the door of the copper shop with a charming smile on his face. His two front teeth were a little yellow, and he always had a strong smell of tobacco oil on his body.
The reason why he was so polite to us was that Marvin and I ordered two thousand copper lampshades from his shop this time.
I need the owner of the copperware shop to provide us with 300 morning glory umbrella-shaped table lamp shades and lamp bases every month. For this copperware shop, even if they work at full capacity all day, they may not be able to produce 300 lamp shades every month.
But this time it was okay. The copper shop was prepared before we came. This time it prepared a hundred copper lampshades for us.
"Please rest assured, you two magicians, before the end of next month, I will prepare three hundred copper lampshades." The owner of the copper shop stood at the door of the shop, facing me and the horse who were about to board the magic caravan. Wen shouted loudly, his voice was very loud, as if he wanted to let the whole street hear his shout, letting them know what a huge business his store had received.
Marvin did not stay in the imperial capital. After a hundred magic lamps were assembled in the rune board workshop, he hired a truck to transport these magic lamps to the airport town. Ying Li and I personally Go to the airport platform and say goodbye to Marvin and Si Pei.
I watched the magic airship loaded with an entire cargo ship leave the airport platform. The magic airship made a long, dull sound, then slowly merged into the channel, and slowly left behind a merchant ship.
The next morning, Ying Li and I took the magic caravan back to the imperial capital.
When I returned to the quiet courtyard, I found that the garden in the courtyard was already colorful. Many flowers and plants that I had never seen before were growing out of the flower beds. The exquisite shrubs and low walls in the courtyard had also been carefully trimmed.
After we walked into the quiet courtyard, we felt like we were in an exquisite garden. Little Ella and two indigenous girls were in the courtyard.
When little Ella saw me, she shouted to me: "Jijia, look at the yard we took care of!"
I smiled and said to little Ella: "It's very good! These shrubs and low walls are neatly trimmed, and these flowers are planted beautifully."
Little Ella has grown a lot taller in a year, almost reaching my ears.
Two indigenous girls saluted me and I rubbed my nose.
The two of them were wearing gauze skirts that girls in the imperial capital liked to wear, and they looked pretty good.
At this time, little Ella said to me: "Oh, by the way, Jijia, I received a letter from the rental house. When I returned to the rental house to clean up the yard the day before yesterday, I found it in the mailbox at the door. Wait for me to go Give it to you!”
"Are you sure it was a letter mailed to me?" I asked her.
Little Ella said as she ran towards the house: "Yes, your name is written on the envelope."
