Chapter 175 Someone Came
As the saying goes, money is not everything, and money is absolutely impossible.
But money really isn't everything.
For the city of Keha in the Northland, it is not easy to eat oranges. Although they also grow tangerines themselves, just like "tangerines grown in Huainan are tangerines, and tangerines grown in Huaibei are trifoliate oranges", the tangerines cultivated in the north are not as good as those grown in the south in terms of taste and shape. But even in the south, there is only one season in a year.
So even these high-ranking officials and nobles have to wait eagerly every summer for the caravan to bring fresh fruits such as oranges from the south before they can enjoy a delicious meal.
And right now, in the middle of winter, there are actually fresh, just-picked oranges?
Not only that, but the taste of these tangerines is far superior to that of ordinary tangerines. Even those high-ranking officials and nobles who spent a lot of money to transport them from the south don't taste so good!
In the cold winter season, eating a mouthful of sweet, sour, refreshing and pleasant orange fruit is simply the supreme enjoyment. No amount of money can buy it, because orange fruit is a fruit that only grows once a year. This is the same as a person who can only give birth to a child in October after pregnancy. It belongs to the natural law that cannot be changed no matter how much money you have.
And now, this law of nature seems to have been changed?
Everyone didn't have it before, so these nobles can still calm down, but now that they have it, they will naturally not let it go!
Not to mention, because the number of oranges is limited, there are more people who didn't grab them than those who grabbed them. Watching the lady next door drinking afternoon tea while tasting the crisp and delicious oranges, I just wanted to To be able to drool over the fence...
Oh, so angry! ! I'm so angry that I can't help myself! Is there such a show of wealth?
Must find out where these tangerines come from! !
Since these oranges came from the Alchemist Guild, everyone naturally found the Alchemist Guild first. As a result, the answer given by the alchemist was that these oranges were the product of some kind of alchemy tool, so they were consigned to the Alchemist Association, and the number of these oranges was limited, and only these were left, and there will be no more in a short time It's ready.
This answer naturally gave those interested inquirers a big blow. Since the Alchemist Association has clearly stated that it is out of stock, there is nothing they can do. In these people's minds, perhaps some alchemists have bred a brand-new, cold-resistant orange fruit tree variety, or they may have accidentally obtained these orange fruits in the process of carrying out some invention experiments, but now, there are no more orange fruits. If the goods are sold out, then they can only leave helplessly.
But there are other people who are keenly aware of the business opportunities.
"So, you came to seek cooperation?"
Fangzheng put down the teacup in his hand, and looked at the man in front of him with a smile on his face. Sitting in front of him was a middle-aged man who was fat into a ball. Right now, he was wiping the sweat from his forehead while looking at Fangzheng with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Yes, Mr. Ezio, our Northland Chamber of Commerce is very interested in the greenhouse and slime fertilizer you invented. If possible, we hope to cooperate with the workshop to obtain your exclusive authorization."
"I understand that... But, Mr. Freiss, I am not very satisfied with your terms."
Hearing this, Fangzheng couldn't help but cast a high glance at the man named Freys in front of him. It has only been two days since they started selling orange fruit, and this is not the first person who found the alchemy studio and wanted to do business with them. But unlike others before him, Freys in front of him wanted more.
He hopes to reach a comprehensive agreement with Nunnally's Alchemy Workshop, and the Northland Chamber of Commerce where he belongs will exclusively manufacture and sell "Greenhouse" and "Slime Fertilizer".
For Fangzheng, this is of course a good thing. However, there are still many differences between him and Fang Zheng. The biggest problem is that Freys hopes to spend a large sum of money to "buy out" these two inventions, but Founder requires both parties to sign a "sharing" contract.
But Frass obviously didn't want to do that.
"Mr. Ezio, I can understand your thoughts. Although greenhouses and slime fertilizers have broad prospects, but because of their bright prospects, these technologies will encounter certain problems in the process of promotion." degree of hindrance...you know what I mean."
After a short chat before, Frass had already discovered that the young man sitting in front of him was not the kind of nerd who could only invent and create as he thought. On the contrary, the other party seemed to be far smarter than himself Some. Therefore, he also gave up his previous ideas and began to fight for his own interests.
"Mr. Aizio, if you are willing to set up a chamber of commerce and promote it independently, then the Northland Chamber of Commerce is willing to be your partner. But now it seems that you do not have this willingness, then we, the Northland Chamber of Commerce, have to bear more Risk, I hope you can consider this issue. We are very sincere, if you are willing to sell these two alchemy technologies to us, we are willing to pay a reasonable price to buy them out."
Not bad, a little brain.
Looking at the fat and big-eared Freiss in front of him, Fangzheng also frowned. That's right, as Freys said, greenhouses and slime fertilizers are both very useful technologies. What's rare is that they are of good quality and cheap, and the materials are easy to find. Slimes can't be killed. There is no risk or harm in breeding. It can be said that once these two technologies are born, they will form a high-profile monopoly industry. It is an exaggeration to say that if it can be spread out, then almost no one in the entire Northland, or even the entire main world, will not use these two things.
Not to mention that if Nimf and Nunnally can break through the limitation of the nutrient solution of soilless cultivation, the benefits will be even higher.
Soilless cultivation ah......
Among other things, Fangzheng knew that the Kingdom of the Holy Order would never let this technology go. As I said before, the Kingdom of the Holy Order needs to guard the twilight border, so they have "enclaves" such as Fortresses of Order all over the world. Hall to coordinate. And food has always been the top priority, because the twilight border is polluted by chaotic magic, and the climate is very harsh, which is not suitable for growing crops at all.
But if the soilless cultivation technology is successfully developed, and with the help of greenhouses, Fortress of Order will have the ability to produce food independently. Even if the problem cannot be completely solved, even if it can solve half, it is enough for the archbishops of the temple to burn incense and celebrate.
And if the food problem can be completely solved, then maybe it is possible to use each order fortress as a breakthrough, weaken the power of the twilight border, and regain the territory that originally belonged to order—to put it bluntly, this technology may even affect the entire world of order changes!
In this case, who can not be attracted to such a technology? This is not just an economic benefit. If it works well, political benefits are also indispensable.
If such a thing does not have a protective umbrella, it will be devoured by wild wolves from all directions. That is to say, if Fangzheng can't protect his own interests well, facing the situation of attacking from crowds, the temple will probably only be able to make an even distribution with the mud.
After all, numbers are useful.
Although the Alchemist Association is a stakeholder, its problem is that the association is an "official organization", and once it rises to the height of "national strategy", the official organization naturally needs unconditional cooperation.
Of course Fangzheng can turn his back on him, but just because of this...and the Kingdom of the Holy Cult? Then put a Malthael out?
Thinking about it, Fangzheng felt insane.
Now Fangzheng has two options, one is to learn from the protagonists in urban novels, start his own company, and then set up a group industry. When the business grows, he will naturally have the strength to protect his own patented technology.
Either learn from the reality and resell the patent to a powerful multinational company. At that time, whoever has the ability will go to the multinational company to trouble him, and he can just do experiments and get a profit.
The former looks good, but Fangzheng is unwilling to do it. On the contrary, it is what he hopes to make money easily by selling patents and engaging in cooperation.
How nice it is to lie at home and count the money, why bother to work hard on business matters, maybe you will be assassinated, spied on, tracked...all troubles.
The current Fangzheng doesn't like trouble.
He has also learned about the background of the Northland Chamber of Commerce. It is not as good as those thunderous multinational groups on the earth, but it is still second-class. At least the word "Northland" is not written in vain. The entire Northland has their businesses. network. It also shows from the side that this Chamber of Commerce is very powerful, and because the Northland Chamber of Commerce is located in the northern alpine region, the requirements for greenhouses and slime fertilizers are obviously more urgent.
But that's fine too, if it's a giant like Microsoft that occupies a monopoly position in the industry, then it will be much more difficult for Founder to fight for profits. After all, he is a monopoly, whether you like to sell or not, you can't escape his palm. As the second level, the Northland Chamber of Commerce naturally has the ambition to go further, and at the same time has the ability to wrestle with other huge forces, so that it won't allow itself to make all this into the plot of CD city novels.
So Fangzheng directly stated his request.
"We want 40% of the profits to be shared, and the rest will be distributed among you."
"This is impossible!!"
Hearing this, Fraser's chubby body immediately bounced off the chair like a bouncy ball.
Although he had expected that the other party would definitely open his mouth like a lion, Freis did not expect that this young man would have such a big appetite.
This is simply robbery!
