The next day, it was still at the pavilion outside the Earl's Mansion.
"Master, this is the jewelry made by the craftsmen of Nakin Town!" Regan took a tray and placed it in front of Claire, and then put out the jewelry he had bought from Kingdom of Zesilia.
Continued: "They said that the craftsmanship above is not very complicated. Except for some that use magic materials and need to be processed to a certain extent and cannot be created for the time being, the others can be reproduced."
Claire also used his mental power to scan it. As expected, the jewelry on the two trays had no other differences except for the material. Almost all of them were replicas of the original proportions. Even on some low-end jewelry, the ones made by Nakin Town's craftsmen were more refined.
"Okay." Claire nodded. If that was the case, he would be relieved. He would not have to go outside to find some craftsmen, and would also save a lot of effort and money.
"I'll buy some jewelry on the market and give it to them to practice with. Tell them that this will be part of their job in the future."
"I understand, Master." Regan was about to step back with the jewelry, but Claire stopped him again.
"You can just leave these things to the people below. I have something that requires you to go abroad."
"Hmm!" Regan became interested as soon as he heard this.
"Go to Kingdom of Zesilia, help me find out about the jeweler there, and find another jeweler who is about to go bankrupt..."
Under a mature market system and a fiercely competitive market environment, the elimination rate of jewelers is very high, so Claire is not worried at all that there are no jewelers about to go bankrupt.
"Master, are you planning to acquire them?" Regan asked doubtfully. In his opinion, those jewelers who were about to go bankrupt no longer had much value.
"Well, I plan to enter Kingdom of Zesilia's jewelry market." Claire said without concealment. Acquisition is necessary. He has no foundation there, and it is difficult to do some things. But if he acquires a jewelry dealer, it will become more convenient for him to do things.
Regan was instantly surprised when he heard this, and said in disbelief, "Um... isn't this too fierce? We might start from other countries, Kingdom of Zesilia is the place with the most fierce competition, and we have just Start... you should start slowly." Regan's worries are not unreasonable. The survivors there are mature jewelers who have experienced fighting. If "newcomers" like them enter the market like this, they will probably be swallowed.
"That's why we need a jeweler who is about to go bankrupt on their side. We can hide our identity and reduce their alertness." Claire explained, "As for what you said about Xu Tuzhi, this is a misunderstanding of thinking. Since Kingdom of Zesilia has There are many jewelers, so we should start there. As long as we win a certain market share there, the market in other countries will automatically open up. If we start from other countries, it will take more time."
Shane also used this method to promote Iodized Salt before. It was sold directly in the royal capital. Once the sales become popular, it will automatically radiate to other cities. This is the benefit of this method. However, Iodized Salt has no competitors. This time, he has a lot of experienced and mature opponents, so the difficulty will be much greater than before.
"I understand, young master." Regan took the two trays of jewelry and stepped back.
After Regan left, Claire also became busy, walking back and forth in front of Nakin Town and Nafu City, instilling some of his ideas into the craftsmen, so as to avoid any cognitive errors when making jewelry and making jewelry that did not conform to the market trend.
Not only the craftsmen of Nakin Town participated, but also the craftsmen in Nafu City Blacksmith Street who could create magic equipment. After the Adventurer's Guild gradually became popular, their technology also improved rapidly, and now some basic equipment can be made.
However, the current stage is just for them to carry out replica training. It is not the time to actually build it. There is still a lot of preparation work to be done before that, such as salvaging the treasures from the seabed.
People have also been sent to salvage the treasures in the sea. The boat was made by Isaac in Academy of Sciences, and the salvage equipment was also made by the mages in Academy of Sciences. Now that there are more High Mage behind them, many of the needs of Claire can be solved. This boat and salvage equipment were built in less than a few days.
The people who salvage are mainly fishermen who are good at water and specialize in their craft.
In addition, mages and knights from the military camp are accompanying them every time they go out of the boat to prevent Sea Beast from hurting anyone. They are responsible for the safety of the fishermen who are salvaging, and those fishermen are concentrating on salvaging treasures from the sea.
The sea area on that side has also been placed in a forbidden space by Claire. Anyone who sneaks in can't escape his perception. Mages and knights are sent to guard it to prevent some unsighted people from stealing and destroying it.
Nearly a week has passed since Regan went to sea. While Claire was having breakfast, Regan finally came back.
"Master, I have been brought to the living room."
"Yeah." Claire nodded, picked up the spoon and drank a spoonful of porridge, "I'll be there later."
As the father of Party A who is acquiring the family, it is okay to ask him to wait.
"This jeweler is not an ordinary jeweler. He used to be a famous jeweler in Kingdom of Zesilia. He was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management."
Claire raised his eyebrows, he was still a pretty good acquisition target.
After pushing open the door of the living room, the figure on the sofa inside quickly stood up.
Claire also glanced at the man with his eyes. He was a middle-aged man in his forties and almost fifty years old. His appearance was nothing special, but he was a little haggard. Looking at his clothes, although he looked new and gorgeous, he looked very handsome. It was not difficult for Claire to see that the clothes were cheap. It seemed that they were specially prepared to meet Claire. But because he didn't have enough money, he could only buy an expensive-looking clothes to wear to show his face.
Sure enough, when Claire's eyes stayed on his clothes for a few seconds, the man's body couldn't help but bowed, as if he was afraid that Claire could see his clothes.
Claire is not someone who likes to make things difficult for others, so he immediately looked away and walked over.
"Sit down and talk."
After the man saw Claire walking up to him and sitting down, he sat down with peace of mind.
"Hello Lord Claire, my name is Calen, I am Mary Port's jeweler." Calen said politely. Before coming, Regan had already told him the matter and Claire's name.
Mary Port is the largest port city in Kingdom of Zesilia. Its nature is the same as Hill City in Kingdom of Arcanum. Compared with the current Griffin Territory's Mermaid Port is much more developed. Most of Kingdom of Zesilia's jewelers are gathered here. Later Claire also plans to start with Mary Port.
"Calen." Claire muttered in his mouth.
"Yes." Calen nodded very seriously.
"Why did your jewelry store go bankrupt?" Claire asked. If it was a matter of principle, such as what happened that led to a bad reputation in Kingdom of Zesilia, he would not buy it.
When such a jeweler is acquired, he is also looking for something to do for himself.
Hearing this, Calen's eyes flashed with emotion. In the past, he could never have imagined that he would become bankrupt.
"Poor management. My Mina Jewelry Shop was already ranked among the top five in the country, but I was not satisfied yet and wanted to go further. So I aggressively recruited talents, reformed my business model and stores, and wanted to go further and expand my market share. However, things were different from what I thought. Things got worse and worse. It can be said that I killed myself."
Calen sighed after finishing speaking. This incident also taught him a very painful lesson. When his own company can still make a profit, he should not care whether the existing system is reasonable or not. Don't worry about it. Otherwise, it will only make things worse.
