Let's Manage The Tower
(2) Magic equipment made by Kaiseki
After talking to Florian, Schmidt and Dahless called the management.
I told him that I didn't have to hurry, but they all showed up to the management the next day.
Schmidt and Dalles are under the supervision of their respective departments, so it shouldn't be that easy to make time, but it seems that the call for an examination was given the highest priority.
"I'm sorry. I didn't have to hurry, but..."
That's what Kaiseki said, but Schmidt and Dalles shook their heads at the right time.
"That's not how it works."
That's right. It's only natural that you should hurry as fast as you can. "
Schmidt and Dalles sighed when they said so.
I'm glad they're in a hurry, but it's very unfortunate that their work as supervisors has been put behind them.
The Warhids have retired and lost their influence, but there is no point in doing so unless the leaders change.
Nevertheless, it is well understood that the relationship cannot be broken suddenly.
This is because it is necessary to demonstrate that there is still an impact on external assistance, not simply in the sense of personal relationships.
Especially now that the branches of the Crown are spreading all over the world, the existence of an examiner can be said to be a necessity.
Lik and the directors are working hard, but the sign that the real-world gods are directly involved cannot be removed from the negotiation.
It is well understood that if the sign is lowered at this time, the spread of the crown at the corner may stop.
That's why I decided to just sigh and touch on the topic I called.
"I want to lose a little influence, but... well, is that okay now? I need to ask you a few more questions."
The examiner tilted his neck after saying so.
"Is that what this is about? Is that what this is about?
The examiner went on to say "okay" and then told Schmidt and Dales what he had talked about with Floria.
"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Kaiseki said so, it was Dales who responded first.
Schmidt understands well about selling, but understanding is delayed when it comes to making.
That's why we're splitting up our expertise.
"I'm worried about that, too, and I have a firm laboratory, at least within the Crown."
Dalles nodded reassuringly when he said so.
However, you will frown at the words of Dales.
"However, the products that are generally distributed are based on those made by Kouske. Some of them seem to be full of magic."
"Ah... I knew it."
The examiner, who arrived at the expectation in a bad way, placed his index finger on his temple.
"Big things like a crown are still good, but I still have a problem with a personally-owned shop?
When asked that by the examiner, Dareth nodded loudly.
"Exactly. When you're an individual, you don't have to take the trouble to improve all your tools. What Kouske made is perfect for selling as a general-purpose product."
Dalles' answer sighed greatly.
As Dalles said, magic equipment stores like the one that operates individually make and sell distinctive magic equipment, but only in their respective fields of expertise.
If it is a general-purpose item that everyone else wants, it is not uncommon to make it exactly as it is and sell it.
Rather, it is a natural world to do so.
Otherwise, it is almost impossible for individuals to do it individually, such as researching all the tools and selling them as products.
I don't mean to blame you for that.
Since patents and the like are not a developed world, I thought it was natural to imitate them.
Rather, if you don't want to be imitated, it is the minimum common sense of a magician to hide the magic team and put it on the surface.
The problem with Kaiseki is that even though he has released the corner magic team, it stops without developing or improving from there.
Nevertheless, there is something I can do about individuals.
"Individuals can't help it. There are limits to what we can do... What about the big magician shop?
In the world, there are not only crowns, but also major magic equipment stores that develop and sell magic equipment themselves.
The problem is that these big players sell the magic equipment that Kaiseki is making without playing with it.
In response to a question from the examiner, Dareth put his arms together with a difficult face and shook his neck to the left and right.
"At first, it seems that our own research is underway, but it doesn't seem to be working very well. You can clearly see that they are sold side by side with generic products."
"That's what's going on."
The examiner who answered that held his head with Dareth.
Schmidt, who was listening with his neck tilted, finally talked about Kaiseki and Dales.
"I think that's all the tools that Kowske made are wonderful, but what's the problem?
From a merchant's point of view, it is very ideal that one product is popular and will continue to sell.
This is because there will be no more overhead expenses, including research expenses, to make new things.
Of course, there is a consciousness that we must always continue to make new things in order to get out of other things, but as for the things that Kaiseki made, the crown is the original (?) It does not pose a major problem because it can be sold as.
... and Schmidt thinks.
This is the difference between how you sell a product and how you make it, and it doesn't mean that either is bad.
"Schmidt. Just because the Alliance's operations are deteriorating, there is no future for the Alliance if we simply cut down on the costs of R&D. It's destiny to be tapered."
Dareth shook his head and said so to Schmidt.
However, if you continue to make the same things that you have made in the past, you don't need to spend any money on R&D.
For that reason, I was able to think of expenses, but ultimately the organization was destined to disappear, and I had the exact same opinion on the study aid.
"From a bigger perspective, it's not like we're going to build something entirely new, and if we keep using the same thing all the time, we can't develop civilization. Don't you think it's important to keep building new things, especially tools?
"I know that for sure."
He nodded as if Schmidt was satisfied when Dales told him to study.
"I'm not saying that I can't use the magic equipment I made as a general-purpose item, but I don't think it's a good idea to keep using it forever."
Given the future, there is no mistake in worrying about examinations.
Schmidt and Dahless silenced their thoughts on the study aid.
I know what Kaiseki is trying to say, but considering the crown, it would be troublesome if the magic equipment made by Kaiseki could not be sold.
Of course, not all of the sales of magical instruments accounted for by Kaiseki, but many are still the main products.
Given the above, I can understand what you are trying to say.
But not letting go so easily was also the heart of Schmidt and Dareth.
