Arcane Lord

Regarding President Jenna's request, Xia Duo did not refuse, but it was just a coin, which was essentially gold, silver and copper, and what was used was not used.

　　 At present, Netheril does not have uniformly issued coins, and conditional territories will basically mint their own coins, and even some wealthy chambers of commerce will mint their own coins in order to highlight their style or facilitate calculations.

　　 In addition to the relatively uniform gold coins, almost 50 gold coins per pound of gold are minted. In addition, the minting of silver and copper coins is very random, and they are often different from place to place. It is only the local leader who determines the exchange ratio between them and gold coins.

　　 But because there are frequent exchanges in various parts of the mainland, smart merchants will make money by using the different currency exchange ratios between different territories. This has also led to a certain degree of uniformity in the specifications of silver and copper coins in various regions.

　　 As for the Savile collar, although there is a silver mine in the territory, the output is not high.

　　 In addition, the cost of smelting and casting is not low. In the past few generations of lords did not choose to mint coins by themselves, but used local output in exchange for finished coins minted by others.

　　 Xia Duo speculated that President Jenna might have something to do with the Ascension Ceremony. The details will be known when he goes back and read the information about the Ascension Ceremony that he has just obtained.

　　 "I see! As long as the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce here is ready, I can push new coins on the southern side at any time."

　　 In fact, there are many different kinds of metal coins in circulation in the South Border, and there are even a lot of different specifications.

　　 What Xia Duo has to do is to collect old coins, and then exchange them into new coins at the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce to circulate them. It doesn't cost much at all.

　　 After talking about the introduction of the new coin, Jenna seemed to be in a good mood, and she took the initiative to bring up the boring small business that she didn't want to mention before:

　　 "Lord Chateau, I heard from Pelokan that the Tower of Time intends to increase the purchase of magic materials in the future?"

　　 "Yes, the Tower of Time is a communication tool sold by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce. The sales are very good. I am planning to expand the output!"

　　 Xia Duo generously stated his future plans, but he actually only said half of these remarks.

　　 The Tower of Time’s communication artifacts do have to expand their output. This is because they still need to be sold by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, which cannot be concealed. At the same time, other magic items will also increase their production capacity.

　　 The half that he didn't say is the key.

　　 If a Master Tower organization is regarded as a company and a country, then how can this company and this country have no cash flow and resource reserves!

In any case, the Savile leader itself and even the entire southern border does not produce much magical materials (including gold and silver, as well as gems and mithril). Once the neck is pinched, I am afraid that the maintenance of the Tower of Time will be a success. problem.

　　 The Tower of Time had such an experience before. At that time, Rodney took the lead and cut off the predetermined raw materials for the Tower of Time.

　　 Later, Niya went to ask the princess for help. The princess recommended the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, and the situation improved.

　　 But this kind of experience, Xia Duo always keeps in mind, he really does not want to be choked, in the long run, he must have his own source of resource output.

　　 In the short term, it is also wise to have a certain amount of reserves.

　　 However, Xia Duo did not want to tell President Jenna these words. After all, the two sides are in different locations. A business, an experience domain, and a mage tower may have different views on the same thing.

　　 Also, there is no need to yell around about resource reserves, as long as you know your own situation.

　　 Even if it is an ally, he has not yet gotten close enough to fully explain it. Xia Duo believes that President Jenna will definitely not only look for him for the new coin, but must also look for other people.

　　 Regarding Chateau’s talk of expanding the output of communication artifacts, Jenna had no doubts, because the communication artifacts of the Tower of Time were really good sellers.

Although she does not know the specific profit of the Tower of Time on each communication artifact, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will always take one-tenth of the price as a reward. The more the Tower of Time is produced, the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce will earn The more you have.

　　 You can return the Tower of Time if you can’t sell it anyway. The risks in this regard do not need to be borne by the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.

　　 But out of taking care of her future allies, she reminded Xia Duo, “Not every spellcaster can afford 1,000 gold coins, and not everyone who can afford 1,000 gold coins will buy communication artifacts."

　　 "Not everyone who buys a communication artifact will buy it from the Tower of Time."

　　 Xia Duo took this sentence, he understood what Jenna meant, it was nothing more than producing too much to sell, but in fact, the cost of producing a communication artifact by the Tower of Time was less than 300 gold coins.

　　In Netheril, an ordinary person, as long as he can learn a craft, can earn more than 300 gold coins a year.

　　 For the caster, as long as they are willing to work, a low-level mage can earn this money in two or three months at the slowest.

　　 Even though the current price of the Tower of Time communication artifact is 1,000 gold coins, the price is still in short supply, which shows that the market still has a lot of potential to tap.

　　 Of course, Chateau also has his own plan for the specific output of communication instruments, but it is still the same sentence, these considerations do not need to be too clear with Jenna.

　　 As for the other side’s kind reminder, Xia Duo also expressed his gratitude very sincerely. uukanshu.com, after all, a great arcanist's reminder, even if it is wrong, you must listen to it first. If you don't do it, it's another matter.

　　 "As for the increase in the purchase of magic materials by the Tower of Time, in principle, I have no objection, but in business negotiations, the specific details need to be discussed in further detail, I hope you can understand."

　　 "Understand."

　　How could I not understand? President Jenna said that this kind of small business was boring before. Could it be that the two arcanists, who are already considering the issue of God's ascension, have to bargain a little bit with their necks?

　　 Of course, professional people do these professional things.

　　……

　　 After talking about the cooperation, the meeting between the two is finally coming to an end. According to the normal meeting process, the two should exchange a few more words of encouragement or compliment, and finally end the meeting happily.

　　 Of course, it is also possible to leave unhappily.

　　 But this time, something unexpected happened. Jenna, who was explaining the relationship between the mage tower organizations for Xia Duo, suddenly changed her face and stood up from her chair.

　　 Xia Duo didn't know what happened, but the Great Arcanist was standing, he couldn't sit still, so he stood up too.

　　 At the same time, Said, who had already left, appeared at the door of the reception room at some point.

When Jenna beckoned, Said came in. He bowed to Jenna first, and then squeezed an apologetic smile to Xia Duo. After that, he continued to look at Jenna, who was already anxious, and waited for the next step. Instructions.
