Chapter 542 Horizontal Project Cooperation Invitation from the Shop Alliance
In the castle business building of the Dragon Blood Gathering, in the witch's kitchen.
Gregor did not dare to sit next to Locke, but took three cups of duck head green tea brewed with ice dripping from the hands of a wizard apprentice waiter.
Then, he placed the two glasses on the table and handed them to his mentor Locke and the wizard, the professional manager of the store alliance.
The last cup was held in my hand, holding a cup of duck head green tea, and started drinking.
The ice dripping method is a new method of making tea invented by tea masters who are a branch of breeders. The condensed water dripping when the ice cubes melt is used to make tea. It has a refreshing taste and outstanding sweetness. It can bring out the flavor of duck head green tea to the extreme. It is also a special dish launched by the Witch Kitchen in Yunze Wetland.
As the hometown of wizard tea, the local wizards here have higher requirements for the taste and quality of wizard tea than those in other wizard places.
Locke put the tea cup aside, and then said to the second-level wizard in front of him: "Master Terrence, Wizard, do you have anything to do with me?"
Locke, the professional manager of the Alsace Plantation Store Alliance, Terrence Dogu Wizard, smiled at Locke: "No matter how many times I drink it, I still think the duck head tea brewed by the ice dripping method is delicious."
“Speaking of which, the Luxuqiao branch of Witch Kitchen in Yunze Wetland recently launched a new tea. It uses the steam generated by boiling hot water to brew peach blossom black tea. It has a mellow taste, endless aftertaste, and overflowing aroma.”
Wizard Terrence seemed to really like to drink wizard tea, so he said to a condimentist in the witch's kitchen: "Two more cups of peach blossom brew, I'll pay for it."
Soon, a wizard apprentice waiter brought up two cups of hot peach blossom brew on a tray.
Locke took a sip of the peach blossom wine and suddenly felt a refreshing fragrance, exploding between his tongue and teeth. It was like the first ray of sunshine in spring, as if the morning sun was rising.
The remaining toxicity of the medicine in his body has been completely eliminated. In addition, his energy has returned to its peak, and he even feels more inspired.
Many wizard teas can purify the toxicity of medicines, restore energy, and increase inspiration. Therefore, wizards have a long-standing tradition of drinking coffee and tea when doing research.
Locke said: "This peach blossom wine does have a different taste."
"It is indeed a wizard's tea that costs three thousand magic stones for a cup."
To be honest, the price is a bit scary. Most first-level wizards will never drink it, unless they are entertaining distinguished guests, but they must be extremely important guests.
It is estimated that the target customers of this wizard tea are wizards of the second level and above.
But as far as the taste is concerned, it is absolutely delicious and will make you forget to come back.
After drinking peach blossom brew, drinking other wizard tea will only leave regrets in your heart.
I really don’t know what the higher-end wizard tea in Luxuqiao tastes like.
"That's right. Wizard Locke, indeed, you are also a wizard who knows how to appreciate wizard tea. That way we will have a lot in common." Being designated as a second-level wizard is a very high praise."
Wizard Terrence said: "I'll keep it short, let's be honest, I came to you this time because I want to find you for business cooperation."
Wizard Locke looked at Wizard Terrence calmly.
About this, I am not surprised. Otherwise, as an ordinary second-level wizard, Terrence Wizard, as the professional manager of the Alsace Plantation Alliance, why would he come to find me.
"I heard the defense; It contains unknown natural magic structural components, but at least it must be transformed into potions, lightning, and other disciplines before it can become something of actual production value for our shop alliance."
Wizard Terrence said: "So, I didn't come to see you because of this. I came to you because of the Hydra Demonic Plant."
Locke was not surprised by this either.
In fact, after the Yunze Cup, a lot of people came to me for cooperation, including wizards from all over the world.
I have been rejected a lot by myself.
Because there is a mix of good and bad among them, some people really want to cooperate with me, but they are not strong enough, and some wizards want to see if they can get a fortune from themselves.
In addition, I want to come to Yunze Wetland, so I have rejected all previous cooperation invitations.
Seeing that Locke still didn't speak, Wizard Terrence's eyes flashed with admiration, "As expected of the Beholder Wizard, he is really calm and composed."
"We go straight to the Alsace Plantation Shop Alliance, which is a large business group with many magic plant shops and magic plant-related industry chains. It owns a large number of magic plant-related industries and has complete distribution channels."
"We want to reach a cooperation with Locke Wizard to produce Hydra magic plants so that they can be sold in our magic plant stores."
"Our store The alliance generally uses two conventional methods to complete the transaction. One is a one-time transaction. You provide the technology and the seeds of the Hydra magic plant, and we provide you with a one-time amount of magic stones that you are satisfied with. "
"The advantage of this is that you can get a large amount of magic stones instantly, and you can do whatever you want."
"This is equivalent to a technology buyout."
Wizard Terrence said: "The second one is sales sharing and licensing."
"Our Alsace Plantation Store Alliance can pay you a licensing fee and then reach a cooperation with you. You can get a share of the money for every magic plant sold in the future."
Terrence Wizard said: "Generally speaking, we use the first method for less famous breeders, which is the buyout system."
"But you are the winner of the Yunze Cup and a senior researcher at Jinmian Mountain, so we can also have the second cooperation option of share-sharing + licensing system."
Locke understands.
These two forms of cooperation all depend on the strength of the individual breeder. If the strength is low, a one-time cooperation is possible, and it is also beneficial to him, as he can get a large amount of money instantly.
Those who are strong tend to share the cooperation. Although you may get a little more money in the end, the money comes slowly and is full of unstable factors.
If the project cannot be implemented, or the sales volume does not reach the expected value, then it may be better to use a buyout system instead.
Locke asked tentatively: "Can we form an alliance with your store to reach some other business cooperation?"
Wizard Terrence was stunned for a moment. "Little friend Locke, what kind of business cooperation are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."
Locke said: "I mean, can it be like this, I and the Alsace Store Alliance jointly open a joint-stock store."
"Or I can become a shareholder of one of your existing branch stores with my technology."
The joint store is the result of his cooperation with the Plutarch family of the Six Towers Land, and the technology investment is his cooperation with Mrs. Irina of the Southeast Corner Region.
The way of cooperation between myself and Lilith Cottage Academy is similar to a salary system.
Wizard Terrence was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Wizard Locke, it's not that I refuse. But not only our Alsace Shop Alliance, but also the other shop alliances in the Land of Misawa, cannot reach similar cooperation with you."
"That is the way of cooperation between the shop alliance and the three-ring wizards. These two ways of cooperation do exist, but generally speaking, they are the prerogatives of the three-ring wizards."
Locke nodded slightly.
In fact, he probably knows something about the situation, after all, he has received so many cooperation invitations.
Speaking for yourself is just a try.
Because of this objective reason, if there is no way, then forget it.
In the final analysis, my magic level is still too low.
Think about it, when a second-level breeder cooperates with a store, he should also have some privileges that belong to a second-level wizard.
This is all reasonable.
After all, he will also enjoy these privileges when he becomes a second-level wizard in the future.
Wizard Terrence said: "But cooperation with our Alsace Alliance has an advantage that cooperation with individual wizards, or cooperation with wizard families and wizard colleges, does not have."
"That is stability and maturity."
Terrence Wizard took out a lot of contracts from the astral ring, "We have a mature cooperation system to rely on, and the shareholders of the store alliance are also a large number of high-end Wizards. In other words, the shop alliance will not change due to the will of individuals, or even a few high-level wizards. "
"Pursuing interests and thirsting for benefits is the only goal of this community called the Alsace Shop Alliance."
"Even a three-ring wizard cannot change the nature of the store alliance."
"Our store alliance has three major internal forces for supervision, the Wizards Shareholders Meeting, the Wizards Council, and the Wizards Supervisory Committee."
Locke knew what the second-ring wizard in front of him was talking about.
Let’s just say that the store alliance has the certainty of desire for profits and a complete cooperation system. When you cooperate with the store alliance, you don’t have to worry about being cheated.
Perhaps due to various objective reasons, you are unable to make money.
As long as there is the slightest opportunity to make money, the shop alliance will be more eager to seize it than myself, the developer of the Hydra Magic Plant, and bring wealth to themselves.
In a sense, the Shop Alliance is no longer a dead thing, but a sum total of many wizards.
It is a large-scale existence that is made up of shops, industrial parks, and wizards, but there is something more than these components.
The large-scale wizard organization in Yunze Wetland has two forms.
One is universities like Golden Crown Mountain and Bonifacius, and the other is those shop alliances.
It is okay to cooperate with the Wizard University to do research, but if you want to make money together, the fastest way is to cooperate with the Wizard Alliance.
Locke wanted to cooperate with the major breeder shop alliances in Yunze Wetland from the beginning. Yunze Wetland has two large-scale plantation shop alliances, one is Alsace and the other is Frankfurt.
It’s just that the Alsace Plantation Store Alliance is the one who comes to find him first.
Locke asked the key point. "So, Lord Wizard Terrence, can you tell me, if the Alsace Plantation Alliance wants to cooperate with me, how many magic stones will it give me in each of the two cooperation methods?" Wizard Terrence said: "Of course. This is what I should do."
"You also know, for For our store alliance, there are different strategies for cooperation with wizards of different levels. First-level, second-level, third-level, and even fourth-level wizards have different cooperation methods. For example, those wizard apprentices can generally only cooperate with individual stores, and it is almost impossible to cooperate directly with our store alliance. "
"For ordinary first-level wizards, the ordinary project managers of the store alliance usually negotiate and cooperate with them, and generally adopt the first method."
Terrence Wizard introduced himself: "I am the senior manager of the Alsace Store Alliance in the Golden Crown Mountain area. I manage the stores, industrial parks and industrial chains of the Alsace Store Alliance in this area."
"If the first method is adopted, I can directly issue a contract to buy out your two-year exclusive right to sell the Hydra Magic Plant in the Alsace store, and I can pay one million magic stones for it."
"If we adopt the second method, we can sign a two-year licensing agreement and sharing agreement. The licensing fee will pay you 500,000 Magic Stones in one go. At the same time, you and Alsace will split it 50-50 in the later period. Each sales profit will be divided into 50%."
50% of the net profit after deducting costs."
50%?
Lock did some calculations and found that the Alsace Shop Alliance was indeed a mature large-scale business alliance.
The Plutarch family only gave themselves 20% of the money when they cooperated with them. Mrs. Irina only pays herself 10% of the net profit in addition to the fixed monthly payment of 60,000 magic stones.
But the Alsace Store Alliance is undoubtedly more confident in its own platform. It directly paid itself 500,000 magic stones, and 50% of the subsequent profits can still be shared with itself.
Locke said: "The mass production technology of the Hydra Magic Plant has not been completely completed."
Terrence Wizard said: "Of course I know, I am also a breeder, and I have watched the Yunze Cup competition. So, I know. But your Hydra needs to be mass-produced. It's very simple. "
"From my experience, as long as you have the resources of 100,000 magic stones, you can probably complete mass production development. The Hydra magic plant you developed is already very complete. You just need to do a [backcross] at the end to stabilize the characteristics of the seeds and prevent future generations from degenerating."
"I know what you are worried about. When you developed Hydra, you used the technology of golden color mutation. The golden color mutation may make Hydra's offspring seeds less fertile. But I think the side effects of the golden color mutation will not be that obvious, especially for your Hydra magic plant. I have read your game records, and I think your Hydra magic plant has not been too affected."
< br/> "We in Alsace have many magic field experimental areas in the Golden Crown Mountain. I can rent one for you for free. You can complete the [backhand] there."
The wizard Terrence said: "The magic stones you need to complete mass production can be paid for by our Alsace Shop Alliance. This does not matter."
Locke nodded slightly.
H From this point of view, it would not be bad to sign a cooperation agreement with the Alsace Shop Alliance.
Furthermore, Locke was more inclined to divide.
For one million magic stones in two years, it was really not worth it to sell Hydra’s exclusive sales and product development for two years.
Only wizards who are really short of money will do this.
But it is true that you can obtain one million magic stones in a short period of time to solve your urgent needs.
But although I am short of money, I am not so picky about food. I don’t need to sell my works at low prices for two years.
That was the winner of the Yunze Cup.
Hydra Demonic Plant is very special, and many wizards in wizard organizations are interested in it.
There is no doubt that you can get more benefits by choosing to share.
Just, Locke asked: "There is a question."
"Master Terrence, the wizard."
Wizard Terrence took a sip of peach blossom black tea. "Please tell me, little friend Locke."
Locke said: "Why did we only cooperate for two years?"
"I originally thought there would be a longer cooperation."
Wizard Terrence smiled bitterly. "Please don't worry. This is also for the better cooperation between the two of us, and this method of cooperation has been proven over a long period of time to be more suitable for the cooperation between our wizards."
"This kind of cooperation in the short to medium term makes it easier for us to adjust the contract and cooperation conditions at any time, which is very beneficial to both of us."
"Besides, you have your worries." Wizard Terrence spread his hands and said helplessly: "I also have my worries."
"The store alliances in Sanze Land rarely sign long-term cooperation contracts with wizards for the first time."
"There are many reasons. First of all, the Hydra Demonic Plant It is undoubtedly a very good magic plant, but the Alsace Alliance is not sure about its specific value, because it has never appeared before. So no matter how the price is set, neither of us will be satisfied."
"So, let's just set a short-term price."
"This way, the ship will be easy to turn around."
Wizard Terrence said: "There are other reasons. Past experience tells us that for wizards, contracts that are too long...are often a mess."
"So, before both parties have established confidence in each other, we should sign short- and medium-term cooperation."
Obviously, what Wizard Terrence means is that if the sales of Hydra are not as good as the Alsace Shop Alliance expects, then they can downgrade their contract at any time, or terminate the contract with themselves.
But in turn, the Alsace Store Alliance is also taking considerable risks. For example, the sales of the Hydra Magic Plant are very good and it has become very popular.
The Frankfurt Shop Alliance is also interested in Hydra, and since it only signed a two-year contract with Alsace, it will become an opportunity for Frankfurt.
This is a result of a game between two parties that combines the interests of both parties.
To be honest, Locke quite likes it.
Don't make a one-time transaction, but eat your meal in one bite. This way, you will not be in a situation where you sell Hydra at a loss and you can only suffer this hidden loss.
Locke estimated that this system should not have been formed at the beginning, but was summed up by the shop alliance in business practice.
After all, wizards possess knowledge and power.
Any official wizard with a permanent defensive force field can always cause a certain degree of damage as long as he seriously wants to cause damage.
It’s just a question of how many.
The emergence of a tortoise shell like a permanent defensive force field gives the official wizard the possibility to still cause certain damage in the face of wizards who are more powerful and more numerous than him.
It is precisely because of the existence of the permanent defensive force field that there is a consensus in the wizarding world.
When a wizard possesses a permanent defensive force field, he becomes an adult in this wizarding world.
He has the ability and power to protect himself and harm others, and to make choices.
Hence, these store alliances deliberately set up contracts that take into account the interests of both parties in order to convince their partners.
Terrence Wizard smiled bitterly: "There is another thing that has something to do with me personally. It is that these business cooperations can easily start in the millions, especially cooperation projects related to high-value magic plants like Hydra. "
h "You have also seen that it only takes one million magic stones to start in two years. What if it is ten years, twenty years, fifty years, or one hundred years?"
h "Or is it a complete buyout?"
"The amount of magic stones that need to be paid is too large, and I can't make the decision." Wizard Terrence said: "For us senior managers, signing a contract is also risky. If the project succeeds, then we will get the credit, if it fails, we will have to bear the responsibility."
"It will have some impact on promotion." Wizard Terrence said: "I also want to be promoted to the regional manager of Alsace. Senior positions in the shop alliance will be bound to specific teaching positions. The regional managers of Alsace will also serve as the Supreme Council of Truth, which is the White Wizard Association. The position of wizard mentor. "
"And the position of wizard mentor means resources."
"It is a serious wizard mentor position, the kind recognized by the White Wizard Association, rather than an internal salary position created by other college students."
Wizard Terrence said: "So, I don't dare to make the decision and extend the time range for the first time we cooperate. No wizard manager in the store alliance dares to do this. But if the cooperation is good, we can continue to cooperate all the way."
Locke thought for a while, and he also wanted to find a local from Yunze Wetland to help him review the contract. After all, he had just come to Yunze.
Sail the ship with care.
But after thinking about it, Locke discovered that the best friend he met in Yunze Wetland was Wizard Daniel. After all, he had only been here four and a half months.
But if I ask him, he will definitely not know.
But I only have his contact information, and...
Locke took out the Ganoderma lucidum plant connected to the water hyacinth network system from his astral ring. Its name is actually Wish Ganoderma lucidum.
It is a functional magic plant.
It can be connected to the water hyacinth magic plant system all over the surface of Yunhu Lake. It is the communication system of Yunze Wetland. It can activate text, pictures, sounds and other information through the water hyacinth system.
The wishing Ganoderma lucidum in Locke's hand flashed with magic light, and then the Ganoderma lucidum plant began to scan the contract content and sent it to the Celtic team leader.
Lingzhi Magic Plant is a free communication tool borrowed from Group 6, but I have not used it much before. I did not even ask for Mason Witch’s contact information. Only because I often go to the Celtic Wizard to apply for various things, I added his contact information.
At this moment, after thinking about it, Locke had no choice but to find Team Leader Celtic.
Who knows, as soon as Locke sent the message, the Celtic team leader responded immediately.
I saw the Wish Ganoderma shoot out a magical light, turning into an illusory magic screen that only Locke could see. There were water ripples on the edge of the magic screen, like whirlpool ripples.
It is actually a communication panel similar to the gray fog slate in the southeast corner.
The Celtic team leader quickly sent a string of text messages - "Locke, where are you?" What is this contract? 』
『I have a lot of things that I want to say to you! 』
Wizard Terrence saw this scene and showed a look of understanding.
He leaned on his chair and waited for Locke to find someone to finish discussing.
