Greetings, Mister Principal

Chapter 30: New Countermeasures

"This is Piram's usual method, using his own sales network to dump a lot of goods, and ultimately rely on strong capital to crush the opponent."

Antoine sighed and looked at the boxes of Cola in the corner of the room. These were the goods that were about to be sent to Prester.

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

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

Sanderson's behavior at the time had already been predicted by Reiner, so he didn't ask Antoine to stop it. On the one hand, the sale of Cola would attract Piram's attention sooner or later, and they only needed to buy a bottle to know the majority of the ingredients. So it was meaningless to be kept secret; on the other hand, this was also a pavement for future plans.

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

With that said, Reiner glanced at the still running assembly line.

"This, this is a crime!"

Claire said angrily, she despised this despicable behavior the most.

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

Reiner said, looking at Antoine again.

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

"I haven't tried this, but it is theoretically possible."

Antoine didn't know Reiner's intentions, but he knew that many mages would add their own signatures to the magic circle they designed. These signatures were part of the spell model and were inseparable. The purpose of this was to act as proof if the spell was stolen

This method was difficult, and not every kind of magic circle could have signatures, but it was also extremely hidden. Although there were many ways to verify the signature, it was difficult to detect.

"You want to?"

"Yes, exactly that."

Reiner nodded and said. If they tried very hard to keep it a secret, Piram may use some dangerous method to harm Antoine, and when Reiner's paper was published, the existence of carbon dioxide would not be a secret. Strictly speaking, they did not need to spend a huge price to protect the production line.

Since this was the case, it was better to set a trap in advance for Priam to jump in.

Once Piram started his production line, he could apply for arbitration at the Magic Association to ruin his reputation.

Reiner didn't worry about Piram's collusion with the nobles, because Piram was not a noble. Growing up in the Ian Gray family, Reiner knew very well that a first-ring mage was not considered a prominent figure among many nobles. They would not defend this kind of "civilian".

As for the mage's side, they hated this kind of theft even more, and the most serious punishment was even to directly demote the mage's rank.

After talking to Oliana, Reinner knew that even within Prester, many councilors were dissatisfied with Piram, worrying that this businessman would one day bully them.

Under such an environment, Reiner had such a strategy.

"But if Piram gets a production line, then he can also make a Cola with the same taste. With the low-price dumping strategy, how can we beat him?"

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

"Did you forget what I said to you in the very beginning? The value of the brand."

Reiner didn't appear to be anxious, because he knew how to deal with it.

"In fact, this time, I bought a brand new product to Mr. Antoine."

"Brand new product?"

Even Claire was confused. Before she set off, she saw Reiner put some things in her bag. Now it seemed that it was the new product he mentioned now?

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

One of the bottles was obviously an orange juice, and the orange liquid showed a golden luster in the sunset.

The other bottle was a colorless and transparent liquid, which looked like ordinary cold water.

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

The last bottle was a black liquid similar to Cola.

"What is this?"

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

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

If carbon dioxide was added, those different flavored beverages would become the most famous beverage series on earth.

The brand value mentioned by Reiner was to make a series of carbonated beverages. Customers could not only drink Cola but also other flavors of soda.

"What about this?"

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

"This is also a Cola. It's just a version that has been modified to a certain extent. The sugar content is very low, but the sweetness is not significantly affected. That is a sugarless Cola.

Reiner explained. This special drink was called Coke Zero on Earth. It was made for people who love carbonated soda and were unwilling to consume high-calorie foods for various reasons. Some people hated it, others loved it.

When launching four different products at a time, Reiner aimed to cover all types of customers. Of course, this was only one link in the product chain. What was more important was to create the brand impression of Luna Nova Cola.

"But these things, Piram Alchemy Workshop will soon be able to imitate them as well."

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

"Yes, I just want Piram to mass-produce and produce at their maximum capacity."

Rainer showed a mysterious smile, which scared Claire a little.

"When he is fully involved, our real trump card will show up."

"The trump card?"

Claire didn't understand what Reiner said, and asked with her head tilted.

Reiner then gave a rough explanation of his next plan. The two listened very carefully. After Reiner finished speaking, they fell silent.

"Is this really feasible?"

Because this plan was too advanced, Antoine was not prepared at all.

"It sounds good, but it seems a little too risky, right?"

Claire also asked suspiciously. To tell the truth, she was still a little bit tempted by Reiner's plan. But because there was no precedent, she was still worried.

"Everyone, please believe me, we are making history here."

Reiner simply said this
