Act Thirty. New Countermeasures

"This is Piram's usual method, using his sales network to dump a lot, and ultimately relying on his strong capital to crush his opponents."

Antoine sighed, looking at the boxes of cokes in the corner of the room, which were goods to be shipped to Prest soon.

"I know, Mr. Antoine, so I told you at the time that Piram might send someone to steal samples of Coke."

Reiner shrugged and said slowly, it was almost evening when he and Claire arrived at Antoine's workshop, but Antoine was still working.

Sanderson's behavior at that time was long as Reiner expected, so he did not stop Antoine. On the one hand, the sale of Coke would sooner or later attract Piram's attention. They only needed to buy a bottle to find out most of the ingredients, and it was meaningless to keep it confidential; on the other hand, this was also to lay the foundation for the subsequent plan.

"From the current situation, they don't know how to make this gas. The cola they make is just a defective product. Piram will definitely not give up. I guess he will find someone to steal the alchemy array in the next two days."

As he said that, Reiner glanced at the still-running assembly line.

"This is a crime!"

Claire said angrily that she looked down on such despicable behavior the most.

"This is of course a crime. Don't forget that we have applied for trade secrets. As long as Piram steals our production line, we can apply for arbitration."

Reiner said, looking at Antoine again.

"Mr. Antoine, is there any way you can add some personal logos to the current alchemy array without being noticed?"

"I haven't tried this, but it's OK in theory."

Antoine didn't know Reiner's intention, but he knew that many mages would add their own signatures to the magic circles he designed. These signatures themselves are part of the magic model and are inseparable. The purpose is to serve as a proof of the developer when the magic is plagiarized.

This method is difficult, and not every magic can be done, but it is also extremely hidden. There are many ways to verify signatures and are difficult to detect.

"Do you want to?"

"Yes, that's what you guessed."

Reiner nodded and said, if he forced himself to keep it secret, the angry Piram might do some dangerous behavior, which is not good for Mr. Antoine. Moreover, when Reiner's paper is published, the existence of carbon dioxide is not a secret. Strictly speaking, they do not need to spend a huge cost to protect the production line.

In this case, it is better to flip the board over and lay out the layout for Piram on the premise that the production line was stolen.

When Piram was put into production, he applied for arbitration from the Magic Society and municipal councillors, which ruined him.

Reiner was not worried about Piram colluding with the nobles at all, because Piram himself was not a nobleman. Growing up in Ian Grey's family, Reiner knew very well that a mere first-order mage was not a prominent identity among many nobles, and they might not necessarily speak up for such "civilians".

As for the mage, he hated this theft, and the most serious punishment was even directly deprived of the mage of his rank.

The exchange with Oriana also made Reiner know that even within Prest, municipal councillors were dissatisfied with Piram, worried that the businessman would ride on his head in the future.

Under such a general environment, Reiner had such a plan.

"But if Piram gets the production line, he can create coke that tastes similar. With the low-priced dumping strategy, how can we beat him?"

Although Antoine understood Reiner's intentions, she was still very worried.

"Did you forget what I said to you at the beginning, the value of the brand."

Reiner didn't seem anxious because he still had a backup plan.

"In fact, this time I came here, I brought you brand new products to Mr. Antoine."

“A brand new product?”

Even Claire was confused. She saw Reiner put some things in her bag before she set off. Now it seems that it is a new product?

Reiner didn't explain much, and took out four bottles of liquid from the bag that could reduce weight and compress space due to the magic.

One of the bottles was obviously orange juice, and the orange liquid exuded a golden sheen in the sunset.

The other bottle is a colorless and transparent liquid that looks like ordinary cold water.

There is also a bottle of liquid with a little yellow-green one, and it is not clear what it is.

The last bottle is a black liquid similar to Coke.

“What are these?”

Antoine had a vague guess, but she still asked, hoping to get confirmation.

"This is orange juice, this is sugar water with lemon juice, and this bottle is apple juice."

Three different flavors of beverages, if carbon dioxide is added, will become the most famous beverage series on the earth.

The brand value that Reiner mentioned is to make Coke a real series of carbonated beverages. Customers can not only drink Coke, but also drink other flavors of soda, each with their needs.

"What about this?"

Claire asked, pointing at the last bottle of black liquid.

"This is also Coke, but it's just a certain improvement to the formula. The version with very low sugar content but not much sweetness is affected, that is, sugar-free Coke."

Reiner explained that this special drink, called Zero Coke on Earth, is created for people who are addicted to carbonated soda and are unwilling to consume high-calorie foods due to their own reasons. Some hate it deeply, while others like it quite.

With four seed products launched at a time, Reiner's purpose is to cover the vast majority of people. Of course, this is just one link in the product chain, and more importantly, it is to create the brand impression of Crescent Coke.

"But these things can be copied soon by Piram's alchemist."

Antoine asked, he could understand Reiner's thoughts, but could not see the true intentions of the principal.

"Yes, I just want Piram to produce in large quantities and do my best to produce."

Reiner smiled mysteriously, and to Claire's eyes, he was a little scared.

"Our real trump card will only show when he is fully committed to it."

"The trump card?"

Claire didn't understand Reiner's words and asked with his head tilted.

Reiner then roughly explained his next plan. The two listened very seriously. After Reiner finished speaking, they were both silent.

"Is this really feasible?"

Because this plan was too advanced, Antoine had no idea at all.

"Although it sounds good, it seems a bit too bold, right?"

Claire also asked skeptically. To be honest, she was still a little cautious about Reiner's plan, but she was still not at ease because there were no previous examples.

"People, please believe me, we are making history."
