Chapter 314 Chapter 312: Benefit Sharing, Customer First (Subscription Request)

On the magic warship,
All the sailors were cleared out of the warehouse, and another wave of fog rolled in, revealing the figures of Roy, Angel and Oliveira.

As for Walter, he was already in the warehouse, opening the big white shells one by one.

These shells are considered specialties of the sea, and their scientific name is "sea clams". After hollowing out the clam meat and a little processing, they can be turned into boxes for storing things.

This is also the most commonly used storage tool of the Siren Tribe. For this reason, almost every sea tribe will build its own clam farm.

Of course, in addition to being used as a storage tool, clam meat is also the meat they most commonly eat.

In addition, using these clams, the sea people can also cultivate magic pearls.

Walking to a clam box, Luo Yi reached out and picked up a pearl the size of a thumb and placed it in front of him.

This pearl is not pure white, but round with some colorful mist, like a rainbow after the rain, it looks extremely beautiful.

Of course, what is even more incredible is that there is some magic power contained in it, not much, but extremely stable.

It can be said that this stable source of magic power that can be recreated is definitely a very good magic material.

Even if it is simply ground into powder and mixed with some other ingredients to make a whitening cleansing cream, it can be sought after by countless aristocratic women.

Although the results are not immediate, they are really effective.

This is its greatest use, but also its inconspicuous use.

Others, such as secret medicines, magic potions, and classical alchemy, are extremely commonly used materials.

The only pity seems to be that it has not yet found a clear role in modern alchemy.

After all, magic energy machines mostly use magic energy pools or magic crystals, so they don't really need this little bit of magic power.

But even so, it is definitely enough to say that it has a wide range of uses and high value.

And now, there is a whole box here, hundreds of them!

This is also the main product that the Siren Tribe can produce, and it is also clearly a very valuable commodity.

Putting down the magic pearl, Luo Yi looked at the second type, coral stone!
This is a coral stone with bright red as the main color, gradient colors, gorgeous colors, and countless branches, like the shape of a tree.

There is a faint layer of shimmering light on its surface, which is extremely eye-catching and catches the eye.

Even Luo Yi felt that this thing was magical.

In fact, deep-sea coral stones, known as the gems of the sea, are famous for their diverse and brilliant colors.

Not only humans like it, but sea people also regard it as the best collection and decoration, and it is very expensive.

Of course, it is just a collection, similar to a famous painting or sculpture. It is definitely enough to show off and attract the admiration of nobles.

But if you ask me what specific use it has, it doesn't.

Luo Yi was not very interested in him, and turned to look at the third clam box, which was full of mineral samples.

Frankly speaking, the Siren Tribe probably doesn't know much about ore smelting and such, as there are all kinds of miscellaneous things in here.

Apparently, they threw in everything they thought was valuable.

Luo Yi searched and picked up some things and found that there was indeed iron ore here. It was extremely heavy in the hand and seemed to have been squeezed by sea water. It was of extremely high purity.

There are also a lot of waste rocks, all of which are full of tiny holes and will break into pieces with just a pinch of them. They are of no use.

More than that, Roy couldn't recognize it either, as he was not a geologist.

However, after searching and picking up the items, Luo Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

There, there was a piece of silver-white surface, very light to the touch, with black spots, and without any magical fluctuations.

It seemed inconspicuous at all, but in Luoyi's eyes, a curtain of light fell on the deep blue, revealing an almost identical stone.

Next to it, there are various introductions, and the first three words are clearly: Silver Amber Stone, which acts as a magic adhesive.

This silver amber stone looks very similar to silver ore, but in fact, it has nothing to do with it and is not a magical material.

Before the development of modern alchemy, it was no different from a stone on the roadside, but when magical machinery became popular on a large scale, new uses were developed for it.

In addition to various mechanical structures, the largest consumable material of magical machinery is lapis lazuli, which is responsible for the flow of magical energy.

In Luo Yi's opinion, this lapis lazuli is similar to an electric wire, with magic energy flowing inside, and the magic patterns drawn on it can produce various effects and functions.

Carving magic patterns into lapis lazuli is a delicate job, but after carving, the magic patterns will also have a certain degree of deformation.

Just like when you write on paper, it will smudge to a certain extent, resulting in poor flow of magic power and reduced service life.

This silver amber stone has the effect of matching and solidifying, allowing the engraved magic patterns to remain in their original state.

It can be said that the amount of powder added from the ground silver amber stone determines the service life of the lapis lazuli.

Even in the field of magic energy machinery, there is a very famous topic, which is how to use this silver amber stone more efficiently to maximize its effect as much as possible.

The reason for this is that silver amber stone is rare!
When I didn’t pay attention to it before, I always thought that this kind of silver amber stone was just like the stones on the roadside, there were a lot of them!
But when it is really needed, we find out that its reserves are pitifully scarce.

It is said that within the Habsburg Empire, amber mines are extremely scarce and cannot support the needs of development.

This is also the main reason why the price of lapis lazuli cannot be reduced.

Even the prospecting team sent by the Empire considered this as their top priority in the Dome Mountains.

Unfortunately, the discoveries so far have been sporadic.

But what Luo Yi didn't expect was that this silver amber stone could also be found on the seabed!

It would be fine if it was scattered, but what if it was a vein of minerals?

The most important thing is, the sea creatures put it in the ore pile. There must be some reason for that, right?

"Walter?"

"My Lord, what do you want?"

"This is silver amber stone!"

"Silver amber? Is this really silver amber?" Walter's voice was shrill. Although he was not proficient in magical machinery, he had heard of this rare and scarce material.

But he never thought that the Siren Tribe would actually have one?!

Thinking of this, he took the silver amber stone from Luo Yi's hand, and looked at it up and down, back and forth, repeatedly, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

When he looked up again, he still had some distrust and asked, "My Lord Earl, do you think this is really the silver amber stone that is said to be worth ten times more than gold?"

“You are talking about pure silver amber stone powder, this is just the raw ore, which needs to be refined.

However, with such a piece, it should be enough to obtain one third of silver amber stone powder after refining.

By then, it will be worth ten times its weight in gold, and there will still be no market for it.”

"Does that mean we're going to get rich?"

"If this isn't just a few scattered pieces of gravel, but a whole vein of ore, we're going to make a fortune."

Luo Yi said this, then looked at Walter who was excited, and suddenly asked: "How are you going to cooperate with the Siren Tribe?"

Walter was stunned, and seemed to be unable to react. He paused for a long time, scratched his head, and couldn't say one, two, three, four, five.

Luo Yi asked again: "Let me ask it another way. How much do you plan to earn from the Siren Tribe?"

This time Walter understood, and he said as a matter of course: “Of course, the more money you make, the better!”

After a pause, he continued, "We are the only supplier of the Siren Tribe. While we provide them with the materials they need, we can set the price as we wish.

Buy at a low price first, then sell at a high price, and you can make a lot of money."

Walter is also a core member of the Flower Territory. He knows a lot of inside information, and he knows how profitable the Magic Energy Factory is. How exaggerated is the profit?!
As for the mechanical products that Xianhua received, they basically have a base profit of one time, otherwise, how could it be possible to earn 500,000 gold Tiles in half a year?

That's why Walter didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. In fact, he was prepared to do so.

But at this moment, Luo Yi slowly shook his head and said, "No, let's change our strategy now."

“Next time, when you contact the Sea Monster King, explain to him clearly the importance of the Silver Amber Stone and ask him to search for it on the seabed.

If we discover a mineral vein and have the potential for large-scale production, we will sign a 50-50 profit-sharing agreement with them."

"They are responsible for mining and transportation, while we are responsible for refining and selling, and we split the profits equally.

Tell the Sea Monster King that this is the greatest manifestation of our sincerity!"

Walter was a little puzzled: "But why? We can obviously earn more?
Even if we don't tell him, he won't know, so why bother himself?"

Luo Yi rolled his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Do you really think that Sea Monster King is a fool?"

“As long as we purchase this silver amber stone in large quantities, even if they are not very worldly-wise, they will definitely know that it contains great benefits.

If we were to contact other people, such as pirates or other nobles, and they knew the value of this, would we still have future cooperation?"

Tilting his head, Loyi looked at Walter and suddenly asked, “Do you also think I’m a profiteer?
Do you think our processing machines are too expensive or too high in price? "

Facing Loyi's gaze, Walter smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, a little bit!"

Then he added: "Of course, Lord Earl, you are definitely not a profiteer, you are just making reasonable profits."

This statement can only be described in four words: The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes!
Luo Yi took over the conversation: "The problem is, you only see the cost and selling price, have you ever paid attention to the invisible efforts?

For example, my design costs, the R&D costs of multiple attempts and modifications, including subsequent after-sales services, and product optimization and improvement.

These are huge investments, and they all have to be factored into the cost.”

"You think the Empire doesn't know how much we earn, but why aren't they talking?"

"Because, if there is not enough profit return, if the patent value is not guaranteed, who do you think would be willing to invest a large amount of research funds?"

"So, even if it's a monopoly trade, it's approved by the empire!"

Walter thought thoughtfully: "So that's how it is! What about this silver amber stone?"

"Is this silver amber stone ours?"

“If we really find a mineral vein, it will be a source of goods for the Siren Tribe.

No matter how unpopular the sirens are, as long as they find any noble family, no one will refuse this business. "

"So, we have to change our model and let the Siren Tribe feel what service attitude is?!"

“For example, don’t they need iron ingots to forge weapons?

That's too much trouble. When I get back, I'll find Butler Hoover and have him make weapons and armor based on the sea creatures' body shape and needs.

If necessary, we can also provide them with anti-corrosion and anti-rust treatment to ensure that they are comfortable and happy using it.”

"This is a customized service. In the end, I guarantee that no one else will want to cooperate with them except me."

"understand?"

"Got it?"

Walter said these three words very hesitantly, and it was obvious that he was unsure.

Luo Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you the sixteen-word mantra. You should follow it from now on."

"What is the truth?"

"Honesty, fairness, benefit sharing, customer first!"

Luo Yi felt that the summary was very accurate and satisfied, and added: "As long as we can achieve these sixteen words, the Siren Tribe will definitely cooperate with us for a long time!"

Walter was still dizzy and didn't feel anything, but Oliveira and Angel beside him had strange expressions!
They had all followed Luo Yi all the way here and had seen how he did business.

It's fine if it's honesty, trustworthiness, fairness and justice, but what about this profit sharing and customer first?

When picking up goods at the factory, customers would always say, "Your price is too high!"

And what is Roy's attitude?
I always love shopping. If you don’t like shopping, then next one!
