?576 Chapter 605: Market Selection (Part Two)
“Why did you call us here?”Ran Xiaojuan asked as she walked into the hall. Isabelle looked over and saw that the man’s face was covered in butter and his hair was in a mess as if he had been electrocuted. If not for his exquisite clothes, he would have looked like he had crawled out of a refugee zone...
She really had the demeanor of an alchemist... “...”. Isabelle thought to herself.
The quality of her sleep these few days was pretty good. Because she needed to ensure sufficient rest during the elf transformation stage, she had to take some time to meditate. Most of the miscellaneous government affairs were allocated to the old judge, she was rather free.
When she saw how the other party looked like he was about to die, she felt a little sorry for him.
Thus, she politely asked someone to brew a cup of rich and sweet coffee for the developers...
“It’s like this...”while everyone was drinking coffee to refresh themselves, Isabelle quickly said, “The main reason I asked you to come here is to understand the progress of the various projects...”
Ran Xiaojuan put down her coffee cup and tilted her head to look at the other party. “Do you have nothing to do after eating? Do you need to call all of us here for this kind of thing? Do you know how tight the scientific research process is right now? And... ... Where are the apprentices that we agreed on?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ahem...”Isabelle coughed lightly and said, “We will discuss the issue of apprentices later. Right now, the main issue is the distribution of the projects. I think we might be able to cancel some of our projects...”
“What? ?”Everyone immediately jumped up and said noisily, “Each project has reached a critical moment. Now, you are telling us that some of the projects can be canceled? which ones should be canceled?”
Because they had been working day and night on the experiment, their eyes were blood-red. When they heard the news, their faces looked ferocious, as if they were beasts that wanted to eat people, even someone like Isabel, who had seen the world, could not help but move back a little.
After all, her current form did not seem to have any resistance. She had even heard that her current form was very good at arousing the appetite of other creatures...
Thus, she hurriedly told them about the information and opinions she had gathered in the morning.
The content of her speech was mainly about the market data that led to the conclusion of choosing the specialization route.
Ran Xiaojuan and the others slowly calmed down after listening to the other party’s narration and fell into deep thought.
Seeing that the situation had not gone out of control, Isabelle secretly heaved a sigh of relief, she continued, “In view of what I just said, it’s obviously disadvantageous to spread the scope of research too far. Take this military grain pill as an example. Recently, many players have been trying to crack this technology. I’ve also gone to find out that the core technology is energy compression and energy guidance. Obviously, the arcane energy shaping civilization will have an advantage in this aspect. Moreover, the development of this military grain pill is mainly dependent on the quality of the food. We obviously don’t have the upper hand in terms of crops. I think we can temporarily give up on cracking this aspect...”. “...”
Ran Xiaojuan and the other developers looked at each other and finally nodded. This was also the reason. Although the Zu’an technological civilization was not bad in terms of crop genes.., however, it was clear that crops that were genetically modified would not be able to compete with natural agricultural products that evolved naturally in the later stages.
In fact, she had considered this before. Moreover, the Zu’an civilization’s knowledge in energy shaping was their weakness. Clearly, they did not have the ability to occupy this market.
Seeing that everyone was listening to her, Isabelle slowly leaned forward, after getting someone to take down the documents that she had arranged, she said, “I’ve investigated the market. Currently, our shopping mall has signed a total of 69 Lord ranked players. We have rented out a total of 106 shops and 42 shops that are currently in business. Among them, there are 12 grain shops, 5 medicine shops, 1 leather shop, 1 tailor shop, 10 weapon shops, 4 mount shops, 4 grocery shops, 6 inns...”. “...”
These few days, I carefully looked at the business statistics. For the time being, the grain stores were doing the best business. Of course, this was currently the most in demand, followed by the medicine stores. The demand was also very high, and compared to the grain.., the market for medicine would be even stronger in the future.
I looked at the current market for medicine. There were currently three types of medicine. The first type was the traditional biotechnology type antibiotics and vaccines. Currently, all sorts of poisonous insects and mutated bacteria were very serious in the mutation zone. The high-end vaccines and antibiotics were very tight, many lords that weren’t biology majors were helpless in this aspect. They could only rely on buying imported medicines.
The second type was alchemy medicine. It was a more traditional herbal concoction. It was a product that was a combination of traditional pharmacy and alchemy. The disadvantage was that it was slow to take effect, but the advantage was that it didn’t have any side effects, it was very suitable for soldiers who were injured to slowly recuperate.
The third type was divine potion. This type of potion was similar to the priest’s holy light spell in the game. It had a powerful immediate effect, especially when dealing with major fatal injuries. It had the effect of reviving the dead, but the side effects were extremely great, it was an emergency medicine at the cost of sacrificing one’s life potential.
We had given up on the food market, but the medicine market couldn’t. I had a rough understanding of it. The second type of product required a relatively high level of magic plant cultivation technology as well as the training of traditional alchemists in pharmacy. My Zu’an alchemy mainly focused on chemical engineering. I’m not good at this aspect, and the old judge has a slow start as a flower spirit. Moreover, he has to deal with government affairs on a daily basis, so it’s obviously not realistic for him to cultivate a high level of magic plants in the market...
Everyone nodded when they heard that. Their collaborators were in a tight spot. Not every force could become a full-time flower spirit like cabbages... ...
Ran Xiaojuan continued, “You just said that the third type of potion is something that can only be produced by a theological civilization. We simply can’t enter it, which means that if we want to compete in the market, we can only go to the first type...”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabelle nodded. “We’re already good at chemical alchemy, and we’re also the main line of life forms. We definitely can’t put traditional biological medicine in the market. How about this, you guys discuss who will be in charge of medical research in the future. This is a long-term business. Even if the great cosmic era opens in the future, there will be a huge demand for alien viruses...”. “...”
“That’s true...”everyone looked at each other and agreed with this point of view.
Isabelle continued, “After that, the best seller in the market is the grocery store. Currently, it’s not easy to classify the things sold in this area. There are technological products as well as magic alchemical items. Right now, our main focus is still on biological surgery. We don’t need to compete in this area for the time being. After all, we have to develop our own advantages.”
Everyone nodded, at this moment, the old judge asked curiously, “Why don’t you mention the leather shop and tailor shop?”? “I think business is pretty good too, especially the leather shop. Right now, the exploration map is filled with forests and valleys. A leather wallet that is convenient to move around and has a certain degree of defense is obviously more practical than chain mail or armor. In addition, the market for interstellar adventurers to wear leather armor in the future will definitely not be small!”
“In this aspect... ... normal players can’t participate ... “...”ran xiaojuan sighed and said, “Tailoring and leather-making are very professional lifestyle jobs that require players to spend a lot of time to practice. I’ve seen the information in this area. An excellent leather craftsman needs to have the skills to kill a high-level creature and peel off its entire skin. This requires a lot of experience. After all, the characteristics of each creature are different. The stronger the creature, the harder it is to peel off its skin. As for leather-making, it is even more difficult. That requires cutting-edge skills. This is obviously more suitable for solo players who specialize in this area, at least for high-quality leather armor...”. “...”
With that, she looked at the people around her and said, “We have already confirmed our partners. I don’t think anyone has the time, right?”
“Isn’t Pu Yunchuan quite suitable?”The old judge quickly said, “Since he will be leading a team out later, why not let him learn the skinning skills and lead a group of people out to hunt. While he learns it himself, he can also teach others to learn the skinning skills. What’s wrong with that?”
“This...”Isabelle frowned. She did not want Pu Yunchuan to become a hunter, but for now, she could indeed let him try to train a group of hunters.
“What about skinning?”Ran Xiaojuan asked, “Low-level leather armor is fine, but high-level leather armor production is very difficult to train. You have to learn high-level skills such as enchantment and creature utilization. If you want to seize the market, you can’t rely on the natives...”
“Try to find a few lifestyle players in this field as partners...”. The old judge frowned and said, “If they are not lord-level players, they should not be so resistant. Moreover, even if we can’t find them, we can still make a profit by selling the source materials, right?”
“That makes sense...”ran Xiaojuan looked at Isabelle. “What do you think?”
Isabelle hesitated for a while and finally said, “I’ll go to the main base and see if I can recruit some people in this field...”
