Chapter 44 44. I Don’t Know What to Name This Chapter Either.
"You should know that conducting experiments as a mage is very expensive."
The experiments conducted by mages not only require a large amount of money and materials, but are often done to satisfy their own curiosity. The results obtained from research may not necessarily be something that can be instantly converted into combat effectiveness or products.
In addition, each study will discover more problems from the research, and those problems will become the topics that need to be studied next time.
For a mage, research requires a lot of money, and whether it is research funds approved by the college or research funded out of one's own pocket, they are far from being able to satisfy their strong thirst for knowledge.
Therefore, many times, mages often bring their own products and research reports to seek grievances... ahem, it is angel investors who explain how promising this research is and how much money it can make to attract sponsorship.
The mage received funds to continue research, and the noble also received a signature on the research paper published by the mage, and he was able to hold a considerable share of the results.
"The teacher's experiment has reached a very critical point, but because the investment is too large, it is difficult for the laboratory's funds to support it. At the same time, investors have refused to continue investing because they have not received returns on their long-term investment."
Mo Cheng spread his hands helplessly, "So the teacher had to find a way to secretly prepare funds, and then he led the laboratory team to secretly develop and process some ointments, hoping to sell them in exchange for some funds and materials to continue investing in research."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng's face showed a slight embarrassment, "But... you also know that the equipment and materials in the laboratory theoretically belong to the investors. Our behavior of using the investors' things for private work has actually violated the law." To protect the interests of investors, we must find an agent to sell these products.”
"Obviously, neither I nor the teacher know anything about business operations, which is why people from the Pharmacists Guild came to our door before."
Captain Margaret nodded, "So, you thought of asking the law enforcement team to help you sell your products?"
At this point in the conversation, the matter was almost decided. So Mo Cheng planned to take some strong medicine and make the final decision.
Mo Cheng straightened his body, crossed his hands and fingers on his chest, "Captain Margaret, with all due respect. Judging from your age, you should have been directly appointed as the head of the law enforcement group. You must be respected by the law enforcement group." The voice was somewhat resistant.”
How old does Margaret appear to be? Eighteen? Still twenty years old?
Mo Cheng was sure that if it weren't for the commander who was parachuted in at this age, he would have dared to eat the canned equipment of the law enforcer.
Since it is airborne, the people under his command will naturally be somewhat resistant to the leader's voice, and those people may not even be aware of this problem.
"You need some political achievements, some political achievements that can make the members of the law enforcement team feel a substantial difference. Let them know that although you, the team leader, are airborne, you can still do your job well, and even do it better than others. good."
These words touched Captain Margaret's heart. She leaned forward slightly, like a lion hunting prey, "What can you provide?"
"Glimmer ointment is provided to the law enforcement group at the cost of the three-gold griffin. The Apothecary Guild imposes restrictions on the supply of healing potions. This should make you very angry, leader, right?"
Mo Cheng didn't believe that the pharmacy established by the Pharmacists Guild only purchased medicines from the [regular] pharmacist team. Captain Margaret would not know what the consequences would be. He could also guess how many times the Pharmacist Guild, as the sole supplier of pharmaceuticals to the law enforcement group, had choked people with therapeutic pharmaceuticals.
When the Pharmacists Guild has a monopoly on pharmaceuticals, if the law enforcement group wants to purchase treatment pharmaceuticals, they must look at the Pharmacists Guild's face.
Monopoly is the most profitable method.
"After completing the initial cooperation, if Captain Margaret is still willing to continue cooperation, then we can provide [enchantment] business to the law enforcement group at a low price."
This sentence really moved Captain Margaret, "Enchanting? Are you sure?"
Mo Cheng smiled and said nothing, and Captain Margaret also realized that it was too early to say this now, "Then what convenience do you need from the law enforcement team?"
The other party said so many important things here, and it was definitely not to help her control the law enforcement team. It was obvious that the team of mages behind the mage named [Karl] in front of her had some requirements for the law enforcement team.
"Concealing the origin of Shimmering Ointment and helping to sell it."
The request was not much, but Captain Margaret still helped to raise some blind spots. "Your ointment cannot be passed through the city gate. People from the Apothecary Guild are watching at the city gate. Once discovered, they can easily pass through the traces." Traced.”
"We don't plan to transport it in from outside the city." Mo Cheng thought for a moment. Since he decided to cooperate with the law enforcement team, he could tell some information that could be disclosed. "I have a friend in the civilian area. Well, there is no one there." The kind who knows the relationship. He will help us make and transport the shimmering ointment to the law enforcement group."
Mo Cheng continued to complete the lie: "Because my teacher's reputation is involved, no one in our team can come forward, so I entrusted my friend to help with production and sales. He is trustworthy."
"No wonder you plan to cooperate with the law enforcement group." Captain Margaret nodded. The civilian area happens to be the area that the law enforcement group is responsible for. With the help of the law enforcement group, the Pharmacist Guild and others want to investigate the origin of Shimmer Ointment. It is indeed difficult.
Mo Cheng emphasized: "The source of the shimmering ointment cannot be known to others. At most, it can only allow them to find the production factory in the civilian area."
"No problem." Margaret agreed, "I will let people watch wherever the production factory is."
"The Order of Lickers in the civilian area, the name is Albert House. Don't look at me like this, I pay Albert House based on the output."
Margaret's disdainful gaze clearly regarded Mo Cheng as someone who had found a group of child laborers as apprentices, although this kind of thing was not uncommon.
"The Order of the Lickers? Your friend is a priest?"
Margaret finally understood why Karl said that no one knew about their friendship. As we all know, mages and clergy never dealt with each other very well, and they rarely talked together.
"His place is short of money, and I happen to have a project that can make money, so naturally I have to introduce it to my friends."
"So, happy working together?"
Margaret stared at the hand in front of her and stretched out her hand to hold it as well: "Happy cooperation."
After signing the supply contract, Margaret left a seal dedicated to the law enforcement team on the contract, while Mo Cheng left a signature containing the fluctuation of the fire element.
After walking out of the restaurant, Mo Cheng did not rush back to Loni's House. Instead, he carefully walked around the wealthy area and made sure there were no followers behind him. Then he changed the mage's robe and wig in a remote corner. Come down and wash your eyebrows at the same time.
“Now you don’t have to worry about funds.”
