my age of magic

Chapter 1431 235. Rune Board Market

The scene was awkward for a while, the young nobleman stared at me with wide eyes, as if he wanted to find out what was different about me, but obviously there wasn't.

Then he immediately realized that he had talked too much, and told me so much about what he had said. The expression that looked like he had swallowed a mouse poop undoubtedly betrayed the smile on his face that he was trying to hide.

For the inscription masters in the imperial capital, I have become a public enemy in their eyes. As a manufacturer of rune plates, the workshop relies on the relationship with the inscription masters. At present, the rune plate workshop of the Grimm Empire The relationship with the inscription masters is inseparable. Even the boss of the rune board workshop dare not easily offend the inscription masters. Otherwise, once the inscription masters jointly boycott, the business of the rune board workshop will face bankruptcy.

The young nobleman turned around quickly, and quickly left my sight with his female companion, obviously not wanting people to see any contact with me.

Betty whispered next to me: "Looking at the family crest on his chest, it should be a member of the Nelson family. Harry Nelson is a well-known coward in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. There is a court mage who is good at inscriptions in his family." , I have a good personal relationship with the inscription masters here in the imperial capital, and I usually do some business of finished magic rune boards."

I looked over to the young man from the Nelson family. He had already begun to chat with another noble merchant of the rune tablet. The way he looked seemed to be exactly the same as when I was talking. It seemed that the young man from the Nelson family was on the way Can't wait to make some personal connections among rune plate vendors.

"You said he shouldn't talk to Billy Babington. After all, the Babington family is the controller of the blank rune tablet market." I said to Betty.

Betty covered her mouth with her hand and said to me: "Almost all manufacturers of finished magic rune boards will contact the Babington family. OK."

At this time, Billy Babington, the chairman of the Rune Plate Suppliers Association, walked out from the crowd. He was not a tall man, his stomach was full of fat, and his hairline was slightly set back on the top of his head. , revealing a large smooth forehead, deep black eye sockets, hooked nose, thin lips with downturned corners of the mouth, deep nasolabial folds on his face, and a gloomy face standing on the podium without anger, the audience immediately After the silence fell, some businessmen standing on the lawn also returned to their seats one after another. It didn't take long for these white chairs to be full of people.

Billy Babington only said a few polite words, and then began to give a speech on the trend of this year's rune board market.

As he said, after the production of the five major mithril mines in the Angelado plane resumed, the price of mithril ore in the Green Empire has stabilized, and then he began to introduce the market share occupied by these rune board suppliers last year. Rune boards have a wide range of applications. Whether in daily life or in the military, a large number of magic rune boards, magic caravans, magic airships, large teleportation circles, etc. are used. The traditional magic industry requires a lot of rune boards. The Babington family is also the largest supplier of Grimm Empire military rune plates, bed crossbows, trebuchets, large magic cannons and other military equipment, which also requires the production of a large number of magic runes.

Finally, when Billy Babington talked about life-related magic rune boards, he pointed out that the life-oriented magic rune boards used to be the one that the Babington family valued the least. Constraints, magic rune boards have always been a luxury item, but this year, several types of magic rune boards have been sold in the imperial capital's magic market. It can be seen that the nobles of the imperial capital have an extremely strong desire to buy magic items. As long as the production cost is slightly lowered Some, will definitely get a positive response from the magic market.

So next, the Babington family will provide sufficient and high-quality low-end blank magic rune plates for the majority of junior inscribers in the magic red copper rune plate forging hall in San Carlos City. In the end, I can understand the good intentions of the rune plate suppliers and appropriately reduce the production cost.

When Billy Babington talked about this on the stage, the rune plate suppliers in the audience were also talking about it. The first shot will hit me in the head. This clearly means that the Babington family plans to invest resources in the low-end market of magic rune boards next year. This is to take advantage of the deep foundation of the magic industry in San Carlos City In order to reduce the cost of blank magic red copper rune plates as much as possible, and at the same time call on those junior inscription masters to reduce the manufacturing cost as much as possible, so as to reduce the number of primary magic runes such as 'fire gathering' and 'water gathering' board price.

Undoubtedly, this is also due to the Babington family's actions after monopolizing the market for the three primary rune plates of 'Focus Fire', 'Miniature Tornado', and 'Continuous Frost' successively after the advent of the Red Copper Magic Rune Plate. out the coping methods.

Billy Babington finally said that the Babington family will support some low-end finished rune plate suppliers next year to help them obtain blank red copper rune plates at the cheapest price, but the Babington family It also puts forward a requirement for these primary finished rune board manufacturers, that is, to create the cheapest primary magic rune board in the magic market.

At the subsequent rune board supplier conference, many rune board suppliers also made some expectations for the magic market next year, and then how to share the cake of rune boards in the magic market, there are also disputes. , Suppliers abuse each other, ridicule, ridicule, and sarcasm, trying to win more market share for themselves.

I couldn't help asking Betty in the audience: "Is this also the case for the rune board supplier conference in the past?" '

Betty nodded and said: 'Yes. '

I said to Betty a little strangely: 'What kind of binding force can such a rune board supplier conference have? '

Betty told me: "These suppliers just want to tell their competitors their plans for the future through this supplier conference. It can avoid some risks. Of course, competition exists at any time, and rune board manufacturers will not let each other out in the next market competition just because everyone gathers together for a casual discussion. The cake is only so big, and it can What you eat is your own. '

When I heard Betty say this, I just smiled lightly.

And the rune board supplier conference has nothing to do with me from the beginning to the end. It seems that if you let me come with eyes and ears, you just need to listen to what the giants of the rune board suppliers will say about the rune board next. The market plan, and no one cares about my next plan, anyway... Anyway, in the magic market next year, the Babington family will focus on the market for primary magic rune tablets, so a price war will inevitably be triggered , some junior rune plate suppliers may be out because of this, and this time Billy Babington obviously pointed the finger at me, so of course it doesn't matter what I think next.

Obviously, these magic rune plate manufacturers don't seem to know where the gap is between us, and they also don't understand where the most critical place is to restrict the price of rune plates. They just think that since the Babington family wants to sell Dominating the low-end rune tablet market is like bad news, or a disaster, for many low-end rune tablet suppliers.

I think this kind of supplier meeting is actually very boring, just like when the two armies are facing each other, the two sides have to start a scolding battle in the city beforehand, so when the supplier meeting is coming to an end, I want to slip away early, anyway, here Vendors of rune plates avoid me like snakes and scorpions, for fear that bad luck will come if they touch me.

The young man from the Nelson family was sitting on a white chair, a little silly, apparently unable to accept the fact that the Babington family was planning to enter the low-end magic rune board market.

Just as I stood up from the white chair with Betty and Katerina, turned around and was about to leave, Billy Babing, the first heir of the Babington family, who had been standing on the stage, was the focus of everyone's attention. Don didn't know when he walked behind me, and then stopped me: "Your Excellency Jijia Magician, don't you plan to leave after the conference is over?"

Billy Babington's voice was a bit loud, and his falcon-like eyes stared straight at me, as if he wanted to gouge out a piece of flesh from me.

No matter where he is, he is the focus of the venue, even if he is standing off the stage, so everyone's eyes gathered, and I was also stared at by dozens of eyes.

Sighing, I turned around helplessly, I shrugged my shoulders at Billy Babington, and said, "I don't think I have anything to do here, so I'm going to leave early. There is no food and drink prepared, so what is there to look forward to? Your Excellency Billy Marquis."

Hearing what I said, Billy Babington saw the Marquis badge on my chest, and the pupils in his eyes instantly shrank to the size of pinholes, and then he recovered after changing constantly. His face looked a little unnatural, and he smiled dryly Shengcai said: "You really deserve to be the one chosen by Princess Yingli, and you have been promoted to Marquis so quickly. It seems that Prince James has really spared no effort in your cultivation."

"I don't know what the Marquis Jijia thinks about the Babington family's entry into the primary rune tablet market?" Billy Babington asked me afterwards, his eyes narrowed into a line, which is only the old fox. eyes.

But I said disapprovingly: "You have a mine in your home, of course you can do whatever you want, but the material of blank red copper rune plates is cheap, and the profit margin is just like that, why? Isn't His Royal Highness Prince Charles in?" How many magic red copper rich mines have been found by the plane of Ahn'Qirad for you to have this plan?"

Hearing my sarcasm, Billy Babington was not moved at all. He even smiled a few times and said:
"Hehe, red copper mines don't need a rich plane like Ahnquilador, and some magical red copper mines can also be found on a few barren planes in the family. But in this way, the primary blank red copper mines of the Babington family The rune plate workshop may affect the rune plate workshop opened by the Marquis of Jijia in the imperial capital, I wonder how the Marquis of Jijia will deal with it next?"

I stood up straight, looking at his big belly that was about to touch me, and felt that it was difficult for him to breathe.

"Do you really want to hear me?" I asked him casually.

"It's an honor!" Billy Babington acted very hypocritically. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he just bit the bullet and smiled, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Probably this is why Billy Babington never thought I would be on stage. Seeing him make such a provocative gesture, I glanced at the rune plate suppliers around me, and then said to him: "Okay , since you have kindly invited me, let me tell you about my next plan!"

Hearing what I said, Billy Babington stared round his eyes, his throat seemed to be stuck by a fishbone, with an expression of wanting to speak but unable to speak, he stood in the audience and watched me stride towards On that podium, those rune plate suppliers around were like a group of loyal spectators, all of them focused their attention on me.

I stood on the podium, paused for a while, and then looked around under the stands.

"Since the Marquis Billy Babington personally invited me to talk about the plan of the Runeboard Workshop on the podium, then I will talk about it. Maybe you are still a little unfamiliar with me. My name is..." I first introduced myself, perhaps because I showed my face too frequently in magic newspapers last year. After I revealed my identity, it was obvious that more than half of these rune plate suppliers had the expression "actually His weird look.

Then I expressed my opinion on the primary magic rune board market. Now, the price of magic spar is gradually dropping due to the war of planes, which means that the people in the imperial capital can afford more cheap magic elements. For example, the magic wall lamp and table lamp in front of the bed on the wall, the faucet on the sink in the kitchen and the exhaust fan on the window, or the copper hot pot and refrigerator that are popular in the imperial capital this winter and summer. In the family, the magic rune market in the future imperial capital will also compete with each other around these. It is unimaginable how big this market is.

Finally, I said to all the rune plate suppliers present: "Next, my rune workshop will hold the three types of red copper magic pattern rune plates of 'Focus Fire', 'Miniature Tornado' and 'Continuous Frost'. In addition to the occupied positions, some new elementary magic rune boards will be developed one after another. Among them, the "twilight illumination" rune board has been officially put into production plan. I believe that within half a month, there will be some new magic rune boards It is a relatively cheap and energy-saving magic table lamp. In the future, we may develop some magic wall lamps, magic lampposts on outdoor streets, etc. At the same time, we will also develop new magic air conditioners and energy-saving magic three-dimensional ovens, etc. "

"In the next six months, I will increase my pace to enter the primary rune board market. Of course, I don't rule out testing the waters of the mid-to-high-end rune board market. The purpose of my rune board workshop is: to use low-cost Price, high-quality products to occupy the magic rune board market..."
