Chapter 775 The Era of Wireless Communication Is Coming

After repeated tests, Tang En returned to Ellington with satisfaction.

"The test results are perfect. Although there are still some minor problems, they do not affect use and production can begin."

Tang En first gave them a definite conclusion, and then said: "But I just did an interference test. The magic power accumulation caused by strong spell casting behavior will trigger interference signals. If possible, it is best to solve this problem later. .”

After thinking for a moment, Justeza said: "I have a solution. I just need to find a way to correct the abnormal fluctuations caused by the accumulation of magic power. It is not very difficult."

So Tang En was very relieved and handed over the task of developing the magic wave anti-interference module to Justisa.

There is no rush to add this anti-interference module now. After all, product development is like a human being. Now that Magic Phone has reached the commercial level, if it is introduced to the market as soon as possible, it can start to promote the development of this society as soon as possible.

After the development of the anti-interference module is completed, the second generation product will be released.

"But now it is difficult to reduce the cost of the magic phone to less than twenty gold coins."

Jean frowned and said: "The magic materials consumed here are worth fifty gold coins at cost, not to mention the cost of our technology. If you want to sell it for twenty gold coins, you can sell one unit Losing thirty gold coins, are you sure you want to do this?"

Tang En frowned: "Can't mass production reduce costs?"

"After all, the magic dust consumed and the magic metal used to carve the magic channel are very expensive. Even low-quality magic dust costs ten gold coins per serving."

Jean sighed and said: "In fact, if it weren't for the powerful effect of the universal alloy, the magic metal consumed on a magic phone alone would be worth more than five hundred gold coins."

Tang En frowned: "What is the lowest cost that can be reduced at present? Profit is not included."

"You want to subsidize production?"

Gene was startled and said: "If you only calculate the material and production costs, the price of a magic phone can be reduced to about 80 gold coins."

Fifty gold coins are the material cost, and thirty gold coins are the production cost, including the loss of production equipment, personnel wages, transportation costs, etc., of which the bulk is the wages of the staff.

That's right, as the number of workers in the Datang Chamber of Commerce increases, monthly salary expenses have gradually become the largest expense. The calculation of the salary of the entire Datang Chamber of Commerce personnel all falls on Fiona. Thanks to her now being promoted A gold-level magician, her thinking has become sharper, otherwise she would have been exhausted.

"Eighty gold coins can only maintain the cost..."

After Tang En pondered for a moment, he said: "Then let's slow down the plan to popularize magic mobile phones for the time being, and let those at the bottom of society wait. Anyway, they don't have such a strong need for information exchange."

Although Tang En wanted to promote the mobile phone popularization plan as soon as possible, if he sold a mobile phone, he would have to put money into it, and he would probably go bankrupt soon after selling it, so he gave up the plan for the time being.

Tang En called Fiona, and then began to give a series of orders.

"Immediately set up a magic mobile phone factory to be responsible for the production of the 'Datang' series of magic mobile phones. All the resources needed can be mobilized at will. The priority will be raised to high, second only to the military industry. The logistics department will be notified to start procurement and production immediately. Relevant required raw materials and do a good job in raw material storage."

"Notify Ellie to design the appearance of the Datang series of magic phones based on the design drawings of the magic phones, and there must be obvious differences between them. The moment people are asked to take out their magic phones to make calls, they can quickly attract people's attention. Attention, this desire to compare will be a major driving force for the market.”

"The regular version of the Magic Phone is positioned in the low-end civilian market. It is priced at ninety-nine gold coins and is codenamed 'Wheat'. It provides basic call functions. The casing is mainly made of low-cost universal alloy. The appearance should be simple and plain, and do not consume too much energy. .”

Although the universal alloy has superior performance, due to the high demand, Ellington has mass-produced it, and now it has undergone technological upgrades and production capacity expansion, so the cost is now extremely low. This alloy with superior performance has become a representative of cheap materials. .

"The advanced version of the Magic Phone is positioned in the mid-range adventurer and mercenary market. It is priced at 199 gold coins and is codenamed 'Sharp Sword'. It provides basic call and text messaging functions. The casing is also made of low-cost universal alloy. , the appearance must be in line with the aesthetics of adventurers, and it must be convenient and durable, adaptable to various climates and environments.”

"The deluxe version of the magic mobile phone is targeted at ordinary nobles and businessmen. It is priced at 1,999 gold coins and is codenamed 'Balance'. It adds a video call function. The casing is mainly made of magic iron. The appearance must be luxurious and elegant, and can reflect the identity." .”

"The Supreme Edition Magic Phone is targeted at princes and nobles. It is priced at 19,999 gold coins and is codenamed 'Scepter'. It has the same function as a scale. The shell is mainly made of fine gold. The appearance is required to be noble and restrained, and it is required to be durable and durable. A noble uniqueness.”

"In addition, there is a limited edition mobile phone sold for senior members of the Datang Chamber of Commerce. It is required to place an order in advance and it will take at least a week to get the goods. The core is made by the factory, and the casing is made by me personally. It is divided into Mithril version and The Arcane Edition, the Mithril Edition has 99,999 gold coins, and the Arcane Edition has 199,999 gold coins, ensuring that each one is a unique and noble product of Purandal!"

Gene and others standing next to him all looked at Tang En in stunned silence, especially Gene, who almost jumped in a hurry at this moment!

Damn it, I knew this guy was a rich man, but I didn’t expect him to be so inhumane!

Both of these are very rare magic materials and are excellent materials for making magic equipment. Now he actually uses such precious mithril and arcane to make mobile phone cases and sell them as ordinary commodities! ?

"How could you waste my treasure like this, a loser!"

Jean shouted angrily: "Those guys are just wasting treasures by using mithril and arcane magic phones!"

"Are you stupid?"

Tang En glanced sideways at Jean: "How many people in their right mind do you think would buy such an expensive magic phone?"

"ah?"

"So, it doesn't matter whether those two models can be sold or not. Their existence is just to highlight the nobility of our Datang Chamber of Commerce products and prove that we are a high-end brand."

Tang En patiently explained the relationship between brand and market to this business idiot, and then he reluctantly made Gene understand the importance of establishing a high-end brand.

"So, whether it can be sold in the end is still two different things. I think throughout the entire Purandar, the only ones who are willing to buy the Arcane version of the magic phone are Rivitz and the Dragon Clan. Even King Oscar of the Ronitant Kingdom I guess I can’t bear to do this—besides, this thing hasn’t been introduced to other countries yet, so you’re thinking too much.”

After all, this thing is just a communication tool, and the important thing is the powerful functions it implements rather than itself.

"Okay, okay, it's your thing anyway, just be happy with it."

Gene wanted to roll his eyes. Looking at the entire Purandal, how many people could be as luxurious as Tang En? But Jean couldn't defeat him.

"Of course, as a human being, the most important thing is to be happy."

Tang En chuckled: "In fact, I have already thought about the upgrade functions of the subsequent generations of Magic Phone."

Justeza was startled: "Then why don't you just say it now and improve it directly?"

"So, you are all business idiots."

Tang Ente looked at them with disdain: "Do you know what playing hard to get means? Do you know what thirsty marketing is? Do you know the motto of Intel, the toothpaste manufacturer? Do you know why good things can't be released at once?"

Play hard to get? Hungry for marketing? Toothpaste maker Intel?

Gene was confused, what are these?

"Forget it, it's useless to tell you, so just focus on technology and leave the market to us."

Tang En waved his hand and concluded. Fiona also suppressed a smile and wrote down his request. Then she closed the book and asked, "Is there anything else you want to order?"

"No, let's implement it as soon as possible. Alleria has already reserved a batch of magic mobile phones. Let's produce them and deliver them as soon as possible."

Magic mobile phones have a wide range of uses, and their military significance is even greater. But for Tang En now, strengthening centralization and strengthening control over local governments is the most important thing. Alleria has already asked for the first batch of one. Tens of thousands of magic phones, this is just the initial quantity. These magic phones will be distributed to the lords of each region, the city lords of each city, and even the mayors and village chiefs of each town. From now on, she After leaving the palace, orders can be issued level by level, directly to the village chief at the bottom.

And Alleria, who sits in the center, can also get information feedback from the bottom. From now on, there will definitely be fewer cases of overt and underhanded things.

Tang En suddenly said: "By the way, we are going to the Rennes Empire in the next two days. We will rush to produce a batch of magic mobile phones for us in the next two days. We may need to disperse and investigate some things when we get there. By the way, we will also You can test the adaptability of the magic mobile phone in various environments."

Justice said with a smile: "No problem, we will work overtime tonight, and we will definitely hand it over to you when you set off."

After Tang En explained these things, Fiona left the institute directly and quickly went to supervise the Tang Dynasty Magic Phone Factory, while Justisa and Jean and the magicians had to work overtime to develop a complete magic phone factory. The production line of magic mobile phones, as well as the first batch of magic mobile phones needed by Tang En.

At this time, Tang En ran to other project teams to check the progress.

Since the Comet motorcycle has reached a practical level, the project has been temporarily stopped, and all personnel have been transferred to the armored tank project team. At this moment, the armored tank project team is in full swing developing the corresponding weapon system - with the help brought by Justeza Many of the original plans for artificial soul technology have been overturned and redone.

New materials are still using various means to find useful materials, and there has also been some progress in the refining and purification of magic stones and floating stones...

Everything here was proceeding steadily and orderly, so Tang En, who was relieved, could finally start thinking about going to the Rennes Empire.
