It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right? Chapter 217: No one can try to trick me, Gretel Nordmark! (Mr. Chun, leader of the alliance, plus update 3)
Chapter 217: No one can try to trick me, Gretel Nordmark! (Mr. Chun, leader of the alliance, plus update 3)
"Mr. Gretel Nordmark is responsible for providing microscope design solutions, usage suggestions, and ideas for improvement."
"The Alchemy Guild enjoys exclusive production rights and sales rights. It can authorize others to distribute."
"The Alchemy Guild's payment to Mr. Gretel Nordmark is..."
In the conference room, the two sides sat across a long table, assuming a negotiating posture. The old man in work clothes dictated one by one, and a 13th-level great magician—who was also a gentleman qualified to enter the review committee— handed over
She sat on his right with her hands clasped in her hands. There was a quill hanging vertically on the notebook in front of her, automatically recording each item one by one.
After remembering this, the silver-white quill suddenly paused and stopped on the last circle. The old man in work clothes raised his head with a smile:
"Gretel, how many do you want?"
Gretel gave him a confused look. He was not sure how much the patent licensing fee should be. In fact, as a former clinician, he was more exposed to end products than front-end patents...
Of course, as a high-precision technology in the world, the patent premium for microscopes must be huge. For example, when a coronary stent first entered the market, it easily cost tens of thousands of yuan. But after the patent period,
After being copied in large numbers, the price can even drop to 700 yuan per piece. There is no doubt that the patent premium accounts for a large part of the price difference.
But how much does a microscope cost? How much does it cost? How many units can be sold annually? How much is high-end, how much is mid-range, and how much is low-end?
Also, when the Alchemy Guild encountered similar cases in the past, how were they divided among the magicians?
Grete doesn’t know anything. He has no source of information, so what can he use to negotiate the price?
"How much do you plan to give here?" He threw the ball back. The old man in overalls did not speak. To his left, an 11th-level great magician turned over a page of information and said with a kind smile:
"I just asked the gentleman who just won the award. The price for purchasing this microscope is 500 gold coins. Taking into account the cost of the lens and labor, the Alchemy Guild can produce it in batches and can reduce the cost to about 300 gold coins. The profit is split in half.
, can the Alchemy Guild pay 100 gold coins for each microscope?"
The profit is divided in half, which as a licensing fee, sounds quite generous. Especially, this is only the profit after deducting direct production costs. Marketing, transportation, management costs and other messy things are not included at all.
, it seems that the Alchemy Guild plans to cover it directly.
And each one costs 100 gold coins! In other words, as long as 60 microscopes are sold, the reward from the Alchemy Guild will be enough for Gretel to buy the Eternal Flame!
Is it difficult to sell 60 aircraft? Aurora Wharton touched her pocket and felt that it would not be a problem to buy one by herself, and persuade the teachers and senior brothers and sisters to buy one each. There are also senior brothers and sisters, those who have already reached 5
Super magicians...
Just casually, you can go out and have twenty or thirty fights!
He looked happy, glanced at Gretel secretly, moved his elbow to poke him secretly. Gretel did not agree immediately, pondered for a moment, and asked sincerely:
"Besides this tube-like microscope, what about other models?
What about magnifications as high as 1,000 times, or even 10,000 times?
What about the one with the light source underneath?
There are three objective lenses at the bottom. Are they driven by a turntable?
With two eyepieces side by side, what about seeing with both eyes at the same time?
Is the lens barrel sealed and filled with protective gas?
——How much do you plan to sell for those models?”
"this--"
Aurora Wharton froze. The great magician also froze. He thought for a moment, sighed, and began to vomit bitterness with a deep face:
"Mr. Nordmark, we also have plans to make these... models you mentioned. But no one has ever done these things. We need to summon the best craftsmen and alchemists who are specialized in item production to work together.
research.
But research takes time and costs, and the specific pricing after production remains to be studied..."
In other words, high-end microscopes will not be sold so cheaply! At that time, the commission will still be 100 gold coins, which will be a loss!
Aurora Wharton finally reacted, clenched her fists, and quickly put on a straight face. He tried not to reveal his emotions, but Gretel smiled sincerely, leaned forward slightly, and asked:
"Moreover, are high-level microscopes also traded with gold coins? Or are they traded with contribution points?"
At this point, the old man in overalls had to cough and cast a reproachful look to his left. High-level microscopes are more aimed at major mage towers and high-level mage. In that kind of scene, most of them are
There are unlikely to be any exceptions when trading with contribution points.
The problem is that the exchange of contribution points and gold coins, the official price of the Magic Council is one to one, but the black market price can be one to four or even one to five...
Using gold coins to pay licensing fees is a blatant trick.
The old man originally planned to ask his subordinates to negotiate a relatively low price, and then he would come forward to give some benefits - such as a good magic equipment, etc., and also let the other party read better. However, his subordinates pretended to be generous and offered him some benefits.
A low price, the other party smiled gently and sincerely, but secretly pointed out the traps one by one...
This is not easy to talk about!
The old man could only stand up for himself. He sent the guy on his left out first, asked someone to change the tea, and then served snacks. After a long round of tossing, he watched the atmosphere in the conference room relax a little, and then put the ball
Throw back:
"So Grete, how many do you want?"
"I really don't understand this." Gretel looked at him sincerely: "Master, look, I don't understand the production cost, selling price, and sales volume at all. If you are not in a hurry-"
He paused and turned to look at his followers:
"Auro, can you please recommend me so that we can ask your teacher?"
"That must be no problem! Teacher loves me the most!" Aurora Wharton tried her best to puff up her chest to make herself look more reliable. The eyes of the old man in work clothes changed slightly, and he asked casually:
"He is your friend?"
"No. I am his follower." Master Wharton replied carelessly. After hanging out with Gretel for half a month, I am no longer embarrassed to say this. Well, as long as I am thick-skinned enough, it will be embarrassing.
other people!
The old man was surprised. Just as he was about to say something, a young mage came in with his head lowered and quickly handed him a page of paper. The paper was full of Gretel's resume, submitted results, and projects thrown to the Magic Council, starting from the latest
From the top to the bottom, there was no space for a single line. The old man read the ten lines at a glance, watching the eyes of the two people change again and again, and finally sighed to Aurora Wharton:
"Your teacher is really kind to you."
With Gretel's ability and character, he was able to recruit his disciples as his followers when he was still a second-level mage. He was thick-skinned, decisive, and well-intentioned. He was just a familiar face and had never interacted with him much.
Archmage Carlisle is a character!
"That's~~~" Master Wharton held his head high and looked matter-of-fact.
"..." You don't understand what I am praising...
The old man suddenly didn't want to talk to this guy anymore. He turned to Gretel, touched his beard, and smiled kindly:
"Grete, there are generally several ways for magicians to authorize the Alchemy Guild to produce their own products. If you listen to it and decide which one you think is appropriate, we will choose which one:
One is that the Alchemy Guild gives a sum of money to buy it out in one go. Of course, this is mainly applicable to relatively simple results without subsequent improvements;
One is to share the profit according to the profit ratio, with the magician getting 30% to half;
One is to share according to the sales amount. Of course, because including costs, the magician's share ratio will not be that high, mostly 10% to 15%.
Considering the importance of this microscope, I can give you up to the upper limit of the share. Of course, I will also give you magic equipment, so you won’t be at a disadvantage compared to the one who got the reward..."
He finally made a long note and looked at Gretel eagerly, waiting for him to make a choice. Well, no matter which way he chose, the Alchemy Guild would make money.
In fact, half the profit or 15% of the sales is not the upper limit. For some products with particularly low costs and high profit margins, it can even reach 2/3 of the profits or 1/4 of the sales. For example, some secular products
Luxury……
But Gretel is a low-level mage after all. Even if there is a faint shadow of legend behind him, he is still a low-level mage. The upper limit of the usual ratio is already very generous...
"20% of the sales. Give me a free sample of each model." Grete answered without hesitation. Who knows how much profit is made? Material procurement, labor costs, marketing, discounts, all calculated, right
You’ll be exhausted until you die!
Well, in fact, he only wants a high-precision microscope...Anything he divides into parts is just an add-on. More or less is not a big problem. The only real thing is not to involve his energy...
The old man was about to refute. Grete had already raised a finger:
"Most of the processes for making microscopes can be completed by ordinary people. In other words, as long as we hire more jewelers, we can increase production. Moreover, the more high-end models, the higher the profits - I can provide
For technical guidance, we can also publish papers to provide as many application scenarios as possible.”
"Application scenario..."
The old man chewed the new word. He supported his chin on his calloused mouth and flashed his eyes: "For example?"
"For example, the Necromancy School." Gretel smiled:
"Believe me, even if they just buy ten or twenty microscopes just to see the truth about the plague, they can pay for it with their eyes closed. For details, you can read the paper on dysentery and the source of the plague that is similar to it.
, I can provide more than ten kinds."
He took out the stack of papers again and slid them along the table. The old man squinted his eyes and read them once, then quickly glanced at the resume next to him, then raised his head and looked at Grete carefully:
"More than ten sources of plague?"
"no problem."
"Can I publish a paper?"
"It's a joke. - Well, you have to pay for the experimental expenses, such as purchasing dyes and experimental animals." It's the same thing to distinguish ten kinds of pathogenic bacteria under a microscope!
The old man laughed happily. The wrinkles on his face relaxed one by one, and deep in the wrinkles, it seemed as if magic crystal powder was falling:
"So, deal?"
"make a deal!"
"Snapped!"
The two palms hit each other and the sound was clear. The old man stood up and walked to the wall, took out a large piece of paper and spread it on the table:
"Then, let's take a look at what the magic instrument you want looks like..."
