Chapter 176 Business Negotiations in Another World
Facing Fres who jumped up suddenly, Nunnally couldn't help being startled. On the contrary, Fangzheng and Nimfu still seemed very calm. The former had participated in countless similar business negotiations, while the latter simply didn't care about these little troubles—in her opinion, the master would definitely be able to handle them.
"Mr. Ezio, we can't accept it. You should understand that if we purchased these two invention blueprints, we would have to organize people to conduct experiments and then manufacture them. This would require a lot of money and time to be wasted."
What Freys said was actually a common problem no matter on the earth or in other worlds, that is, the factoryization of technology. The technology coming out of the laboratory, the steps and the factory are completely different. In the same way, if the technology produced in the alchemy workshop wants to be mass-produced, it is naturally impossible for the alchemist to complete it alone. Although it is said that there are some idle alchemists employed in various forces who have not started workshops, it is obviously impossible for these people to be used for mass production.
It's like you can't have a bunch of designers go to a factory and make a car.
The car line is about the same.
"I already have a complete production process on hand, and I will give it to you after signing the agreement."
Freys has his own reasons, but that doesn't mean Fangzheng will listen to him. The processing of greenhouses and slime fertilizers is very simple. Referring to the production process on the earth, it is not difficult to come up with a set. Of course, due to the difference in the development of civilization, Fangzheng also used his brains.
"Forty percent is still too high."
Hearing that the other party has a complete "after-sales service", Freys is also relieved. Many alchemists are only sure to make things, and many times they don't even care about how to make these things faster. So those chambers of commerce often spend a lot of time and money on this. Of course, if you are lucky enough to be able to mass-produce it, that would be great. If you spend a lot of effort and find that mass production is impossible or the cost is too high, then... huh.
"You know, if we sign an agreement, then our Northland Chamber of Commerce will encounter attacks from many forces, and even suffer certain losses because of it..."
"This is your own business."
Nunnally, who had never participated in business negotiations, felt a little soft-hearted when she saw Fres' pitiful appearance, but had no choice but to participate in countless business negotiations. Fang Zheng, who had experienced many battles, obviously would not be shaken by the crocodile's tears. For things like business negotiations, technology and creativity are masters, and masters are used to do whatever they want. Don't say I want 40%, even if I want you to take off your clothes and dance in front of everyone, you have to bear it.
Besides, there is no business without fraud, and a businessman can be trusted 50% of what he says, so he is honest.
On the contrary, even if I put forward 40% of the request, the other party didn't leave immediately, which in itself is enough to explain the attitude.
Freys talked with Fangzheng for a while, but there was no result, so he had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. After watching the ball-like figure of Freys disappear, Nunnally, who had been sitting next to Fangzheng, spoke uncomfortably.
"Mr. Ezio, aren't you going too far? I think Mr. Freys is pretty good...you want forty percent...it's too much."
Although Nunnally belongs to a pure alchemist who has little research on the economy, when Fangzheng talked with Freys, she also understood the meaning of the two people's words. Forty percent of the proceeds from selling greenhouses and slime fertilizers to the Chamber of Commerce.
This is not a small number.
In the main world, the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the Alchemist Association is a bit like a branch and a trunk, and the Alchemist Association is also a platform organization like X Bao. And the Chamber of Commerce is naturally the owner of the X treasure store that opened a store on the platform. Of course, there are individuals and groups, depending on the scale. For example, the workshop opened by Nunnally herself is considered to be X Bao's personal store. And like the Northland Chamber of Commerce, it is a large group chain store.
When Frass complained to Fangzheng before, he roughly estimated that if the 40% added up, he might have millions of gold coins.
When she heard this number, Nunnally was completely dumbfounded.
She couldn't imagine that she could get so much money just by treating the slime's skin and body fluids casually, and adding a refined wooden support, it was like a dream.
To be honest, if Fangzheng hadn't agreed to take the lead before this, maybe Nunnally would have agreed, but she felt that so much money was too insecure, not tens of millions—————————————————— Don't need millions, just give me a few thousand gold coins. These slimes are worthless at all, how can they be exchanged for so many gold coins! !
So when Freiss left, Nunnally looked at Fangzheng, her heart was very complicated, and she also felt that Fangzheng was simply stealing money...
"Forty percent is not much at all. Don't look at him crying poor, this is also the basic skill of a businessman. In fact, if he really thinks it is too much, he will just turn around and leave. But he still sat down Well, guess why?"
"this………"
Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Nunnally was stunned for a while before she could react.
"Because he can make money?"
"Of course, if he can't make money, he won't discuss it with me. Of course, both of us know that I can't ask for 40%, and he can't give 40%, but I propose This request is to give the other party a room to bargain, and at the same time tell him that my request will not be too low. For both of us, there is no problem of losing money, it is just a matter of earning more and earning less."
As he spoke, Fangzheng looked at Nunali with a smile.
"You may think that this thing is not worth much, but you should know what these things can bring to farmers. These things are all valuable, and they are very valuable. You know, what we sell is not raw materials, but real change. Things in this world...you said if you made a divine weapon, how much would you sell it for?"
"Of course it's worth the money..."
Nunnally is just innocent, not really a fool. Alchemists have also had the creation of artifacts, which is why they can compete with mages. And the artifacts made by alchemists are priceless.
But... is there an artifact made of slime leather?
"Sacred artifacts are for use, not for offering. You have to know that these things can not only improve the lives of countless people, but also enable those who can't afford to eat to afford food... This can't even be done with divine artifacts. arrive."
"I see, I see."
Under Fang Zheng's guidance, Nunnally nodded her head in a good manner. Although she still didn't understand it very well, she still knew that her thinking was completely wrong.
Seeing Nunali's reaction, Fang Zheng sighed inwardly. In order to keep his identity secret, he did not sign any agreement with Nunnally, because the signing of the agreement in the main world requires star pattern certification, and once certified, he will definitely be exposed. So for now, this alchemy workshop still belongs to Nunnally, that is to say, only she has the final right to sign the agreement.
Originally, Fangzheng thought that Nunnally would have a future if she was trained, but now it seems that she is more like a full-time researcher, not good at this kind of foreign communication and negotiation. If Fangzheng wasn't here, if Nunnally had researched this greenhouse by herself, Fres might not have been able to trick her away with 500 gold coins, and make Nunnally work for her willingly.
Fangzheng really wanted to find someone who would be in charge of negotiations. The girl named Kuria gave him a good feeling. She was generous and full of self-confidence, and her family background was also good. It's just that the other party is currently working in the Alchemist Association, and Fang Zheng doesn't know if he can get her here...but it's always right to try.
Culia's reaction was beyond Fang Zheng's expectation. After Fang Zheng proposed an invitation to her, Culia readily agreed to Fang Zheng. She also knows Nunnally's character very well. After hearing Fang Zheng say that her friend was almost fooled into selling the greenhouse and slime fertilizer technology by thousands of gold coins, Kuria was also in a cold sweat and almost didn't recover. As a staff member of the Alchemist Association, she knows the value of an alchemy invention better than anyone else. If Nunnally really sells these things for thousands of gold coins, she might as well hand them over to the Association for internal adjustment.
Because of this, Kuria chose to join without hesitation. Although she felt that Fang Zheng was not a bad person, she was always worried that her friend would be cheated away. Now there is an opportunity to keep staring at the side, and Kuria will definitely not let it go.
The most important thing is that she can work with Fangzheng. Just looking at the handsome guy every day is enough to make up for the small loss of Culia.
During this period of time, Fangzheng also took Culia to receive the representatives of various chambers of commerce who came to the workshop to discuss business. Freys was smart, and the others were not stupid. Founder didn't intend to expand production. It seems that these things are used to prove the effectiveness of the technology, so buying these two technologies is naturally very important to them.
The result was similar to what Fangzheng had expected. The more powerful first-tier chambers of commerce were not interested in Fangzheng's proposal, and even used their influence to try to force Fangzheng to lower prices. The chambers of commerce that belong to the second tier like Freys want to fight desperately, but they are either worried that they will not be able to resist the oppression of those "transnational chambers of commerce" in the first tier, or they feel that Founder's requirements are too high. Haggle further.
But no matter what, there are naturally more and more people who are eager to obtain these two alchemy technologies.
Finally, Frass couldn't hold back anymore, and came to the door again.
