This Plug-in is Too Middle School

"…"

Isn't it... is this broken place so bullish?

Seeing the appearance of the little rich woman doesn't seem like a joke, William is really a little confused.

The alchemy workshop in front of me has not been excavated for a long time, and even the name has not been set, so it actually needs such a high "throughput"?

That's 20% of the business in the Holy Empire plus [Dadifang] in the entire territory of Flange, and it can only meet one-third of the output? And can only guarantee not to lose money?

After receiving the extremely puzzled look in his eyes, Karina thought for a while, and then said:

"William, what I said before was not very clear, you may have misunderstood the status of Wufangfang. Although the market for 20% cheap alchemy items in the Holy Empire is not small, I want to support an alchemy workshop of the same level as Wufangfang. It's still not enough."

After hearing the words of the little rich woman, William first searched his mind for the memory of the five major workshops, and then frowned slightly and said:

"Isn't the five major alchemy workshops the top five alchemy workshops in the Austrian continent? All the alchemy workshops except the five major alchemy workshops together only account for less than 20% of the market, and the remaining 80% is shared by them... My Do you understand what's wrong?"

"Your understanding itself is correct, but it is not comprehensive enough."

Karina sighed, her face was not very good-looking and said:

"The five major workshops do divide up more than 80% of the alchemy market in the entire Austrian continent, but the way they divide up the market is quite special, and they don't take up a part as you think."

William frowned.

Isn't it part of the family? What kind of accounting could that be? Could it be possible to have one for each family? ...well...wait!

Seeing a hint of enlightenment on William's face, the little rich woman couldn't help but nodded slightly and said:

"It seems that you should have also thought that the four major workshops other than the [Clear Sky Workshop] did not jointly divide the market for alchemy creations, but each of them monopolized one of the major categories, and was close to the same category in this category. A monopoly!"

After listening to the little rich woman's explanation, the banshee next to her suddenly trembled, then jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on, and stared at the layout of the workshop in front of her with wide eyes.

She was still proud of the exquisite design of this workshop before, but now her face became paler and paler, and even her body shook slightly, and it seemed that she might faint at any time.

It seems that she also understands where the problem is.

After giving Andrea a sympathetic look, Karina tried her best to keep her voice soft, and continued to explain in a gentle voice:

"William, I have read in the "A Thousand Years of Alchemy History" written by the previous Pope, that the four major workshops were actually comprehensive workshops at first, and most of the alchemy creations were involved.

At that time, it was less than a hundred years after the development of modern alchemy. Almost all the third-tier and above forces had their own workshops. There were thousands of workshops that were a little bit lower than the top five. The self-built private workshops are more like stars.

But then everyone slowly discovered that four of these workshops were extremely skilled, obviously not on the same level as all the other workshops. opened the gap.

In the first few decades of the alchemy workshop, it was not bad. Although it was squeezed a bit seriously, there was still room for the remaining workshops to survive. The number of alchemy workshops was directly reduced by 90% within a year. "

Said that this is the place, the little rich woman paused for a while, as if in memory of the countless workshops that died in history, and then shook her head and said with some emotion:

"The metal craftsmanship of [Hardware Essence], the enchanted glyphs of [Forest Green Capital], the traffic communication of [Ocean Square], the affordable daily necessities of [Dadifang]...

As long as the alchemy creations in these four aspects are involved, everyone will immediately think of these four workshops, and these four items already contain nearly 90% of the alchemy creations. When it was sold all over the world, other workshops naturally had only one result to withdraw.

And the remaining four workshops have not settled down. They have been fighting for hundreds of years, until they rely on their irreplaceable advantages, in the category they are best at, they will include the other three workshops. After the workshops were all overrun, the current situation where the four workshops are standing side by side gradually formed.”

After the little rich woman's simple explanation, William at this time had understood what she wanted to express, so he could only sigh and say:

"That means... a super-large alchemy workshop like the five major alchemy workshops, if they want to consume all their production capacity, they must almost monopolize the market of the entire Austrian continent in a major category of alchemy products? "

"Yes."

Karina also sighed, and said with a somewhat helpless expression:

"Although the business of Flange plus 20% of the Holy Empire is already an astonishing number, for the [Dadifang], which monopolizes 90% of the cheap alchemy creations in the Austrian continent, it is only about one-twentieth of them. market only.

As for the alchemy workshop you and Miss Andrea created, although the area is not even one-fifth the size of the [Dadifang], it is indeed a super-large alchemy workshop with the same specifications.

The alchemy workshop is different from the hand-made work of a private alchemist. The more products there are, the cheaper it is. Therefore, according to the current plan, if you want to start the work and ensure that you do not lose money, you must at least win the [Dadifang] 】70% of the orders in the Holy Empire, or two big buyers of the same level can be found..."

"…"

So as you mean... isn't this hopeless?

After listening to all the explanations from the rich lady, William's complexion was still as black as the bottom of a pot even with the [Face of Ambitioner] supporting him, and the banshee who understood the reason earlier had already begun to shut down.

Woo... it's all over!

Counting all his private money, this alchemy workshop has invested more than 4 million gold gold in it, and it turns out that it is not even worth the start of the work...

But I really didn't think about anything this time, I just wanted to do the best I could, and even put in everything I could... What happened... how did it go bad?

…

"His (sniff

Just as William was using the memories of two lifetimes and racking his brains to figure out where to find a big client, the female goblin who was buried in autism suddenly raised her head and looked over, her eyes were red and tearful and said:

"William, I'm too imaginative, this time it's all my fault! So... so even after a hundred years, I'll pay you back all the money I lost this time!

Yes, that's right! In addition to paying you back the money, I will take over all the projects in your territory in the future, I... I can work for you for free for a lifetime! Don't drive me away, okay? "

"…"

After hearing the promise of the female fairy with a crying voice, William's mind suddenly slid away, and the figures of the "potentially taken advantage of" that he had been thinking about suddenly disappeared, and they were almost automatically deleted.

Fortunately, he still retains a sense of reason, knowing that what Andrea said might be a little different from what he understood, so he managed to keep those figures behind.

After licking his dry lips, William turned around and said strangely:

"Are you serious? From now on, you will work for nothing without receiving money?"

"Well! Don't lie!"

The banshee sniffed and said with red eyes:

"You...you trusted me so much that you asked me to be the head of the alchemy workshop, and even approved so many funds, but I failed...I...I...I swear, from now on...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

When the words were said here, Andrea's emotions were a little too excited, and she couldn't help swallowing twice, but she couldn't finish her words, but it seemed that she was really determined.

After standing there and hesitating for a few seconds, William was still too embarrassed to let her finish the oath, so he had to nod his head as agreeing to the agreement.

"That's okay, you said you don't want a salary, don't come back to me and say you want to go back."

Hearing that William didn't seem to mean to drive him away, the female fairy burst into a smile, wiping the corners of her eyes while shaking her head repeatedly:

"No regrets! Absolutely no regrets!"

Cut, you won't regret it later!

Looking at Andrea with the pear blossoms and rain, William shook his head and scolded himself for not being so ruthless to ask her to sign a contract just now. whispered softly.

…

"Karina...if...I mean what if."

William coughed dryly and said covertly:

"If the next Pope of the Holy See of Light has a very good personal relationship with me, how many orders do you think I can take from the Holy Empire? Can I support this alchemy workshop?"

? ? ?

Confused by William's words, the little rich woman hurriedly asked:

"The next Pope? So...you have a very good relationship with the Holy Son of the Holy See? You...you?"

"…"

Watching Karina's face gradually turning red, and listening to her breathing slowly, William smacked his lips speechlessly.

It turns out that you don't just look at serious love...

"The relationship is indeed inseparable, even closer than you think, but the goal is wrong!"

After reaching out and poking the little rich woman's forehead, William said with a dark face:

"The next pope I said is the saint. Well, don't talk about it. I know what you want to ask. Although the saint of the Holy See of Light seems to be at a disadvantage, she can become the next pope in the end. It must be her!"

"…"

"Do you still have any questions?"

"have!"

After hearing that things were not what I thought, although I was a little disappointed, as a lover with a wide range of interests, the little rich woman has always been more relaxed about gender.

If there is no forbidden love for the Holy Son of Brightness, she can also accept the secret love history of the Holy Lady of Light.

After reaching out and fanning her slightly hot cheeks, Karina grabbed William's arm with gleaming eyes, and said gossiply:

"You... how close is the relationship between you and that saint?"

"Extraordinarily close."

At a glance, she knew that she was sick again, William pouted and explained blankly:

"We are all holding each other's hands. If we kick each other out, she will either be apostate or be put at the stake, and I will 200% provoke the current Pope to hunt down and kill in person... I will ask you whether the relationship is close. close?"

"…"

After listening to William's explanation, the little rich woman couldn't help but look stiff. The secret that could force the saint to apostasy was indeed astonishing, but... it seemed to be completely different from what she wanted to hear.

"This... so..."

After nodding stiffly, Karina, who was poured a basin of cold water on her head, finally remembered something serious and said shyly:

"If the Holy Maiden can indeed become the Pope, it is estimated that it can help you win about 40%? It may be slightly more depending on the specific situation, but it will definitely not reach 50%."

William frowned involuntarily.

"So few? That's the Pope of the Holy See of Light! In theory, the strongest person in the entire continent!"

"But the strongest force in the entire Austrian continent is the Holy Empire, not the Holy See!"

The little rich woman shook her head and said:

"I actually said that this ratio is too high! You have never seen how terrifying the alchemy technology of Wufangfang is. Even if the Holy Empire imposes layers of tariffs, it can still squeeze the alchemy workshop of the Holy Empire to its knees.

I said that she can help you get 40%, or for the sake of the dwarf craftsmen above. If there is no extra points for the dwarves' metal craftsmanship, even if the Pope of Light is on your side, it is useless! "

"…"

Is that so... um... If you say that, it seems that four achievements are indeed the limit.

William frowned and pondered for a while, then continued to mutter:

"What if you include the desert kingdom?"

Aunt Varena?

The little rich woman tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded lightly:

"It's okay there. After all, the Desert Kingdom is not too close to the Arcane Empire. By the time the alchemy items from [Dadifang] arrive there, the price is already high, plus Brother Taimi and Aunt Varena owe Your adult affection should be no problem.

However, although the desert kingdom is not bad and has no shortage of money, the limited population there is too small, and the number of alchemy creations that can be consumed is not large, even if they are added, it still cannot fill the gap. "

"It's okay, I can fill in a little bit."

William waved his hand, straightened his back and said with a relaxed expression:

"Anyway, if this is the case, the rest will not be much worse. I'll think of a way to do the rest. If it doesn't work, I'll sell it to the sea clan, go to the barbarians outside the Great Wall in the north, or simply..."

At this moment, a cold little hand grabbed the corner of his clothes and tugged it lightly. William looked back in surprise and found that Andrea had come over at some point.

The banshee was holding a black metal plate the size of a slap, on which several lines of fine white sand were beating crookedly.

After looking at the more and more gravel on the metal plate, the female fairy whose face was still wet with tears shook her lips and said at a loss:

"William, my senior brother seems to be here."

Oh, it turned out to be her family's family...cough, cough, I mean, has that senior brother who has a lot of research on magic patterns arrived?

After recalling Andrea's previous words, William nodded and said:

"I see, where are the others? Do you need me to send someone to pick them up?"

"Should... I don't need to pick it up, right? He said that he has already arrived at your city master's mansion, and now he seems to be moving things into it..."

The spirit of the banshee was a little dazed and said:

"And he... he seems to have brought me gifts worth over three million gold gold..."
