After all, a full set of alchemy workshop equipment is also quite expensive, and there's considerable profit to be made. Since the design templates for these instruments were created by Little Fairy herself, she figured she might as well use them to launch a new brand of instruments.
Dorothy blinked, then after a bit of thought, realized that it might actually be feasible.
She was indeed in need of money, and she had a backlog of technology she could use to make money. She hadn't done so before due to a lack of start-up capital and necessary connections—starting from scratch on her own was simply too much trouble.
But now, with the help of Senior Mia, starting an alchemy guild to make money didn't seem too far-fetched.
Ah, this, could it be that I'm about to get rich?
The Homebody Witch was immediately overjoyed.
"Then I can have my mothers help promote your guild for you and your teacher sister,"
Little Fox, who had been engrossed in crafting parts, perked up her fox ears and poked her head out to make the suggestion.
She herself found the alchemy instruments that her teacher sister handcrafted to be quite practical. Even if she wasn't specialized in alchemy and didn't understand as much as her teacher sister and Senior Mia, she often needed to use these instruments for puppet making. So, she was somewhat of an expert too, and she truly felt these instruments were more useful than the high-end ones at her own home.
Although they were less efficient, they were indeed very comfortable and easy to handle. Audrey, who had mastery over the Mental Faction, could clearly sense that these instruments incorporated a system of intent, otherwise, these rigid instruments would not be so understanding and user-friendly.
She didn't really understand the business side of things, but if it was about advertising and promotion, her family specialized in that. After all, artists need to eat too, right? Her family had a lineage of top stars managing several advertising guilds. It was quite reasonable for them to occasionally take on commercial orders.
Dorothy looked somewhat confusedly at her younger apprentice sister.
Wow, with capital, technology, and sales all in place, isn't that everything? What treasures these girls around me are.
The Homebody Witch suddenly felt that making money might not be so difficult after all.
"Then we can trouble you, Senior and apprentice sister, later on. I don't really understand these things. So, maybe we could just start a guild under the name of our club?"
Dorothy scratched her head. Being a witch who only knew about burying herself in scientific research, she truly had no clue about business operations and management and wasn't interested in them since such trivial matters would affect the speed of her learning and research.
At this moment, another voice chimed in, joining the conversation.
Sophia stepped forward, looking somewhat incredulously at her mistress who again seemed ready to take on a hands-off managerial approach.
My dear mistress, can't you grow a little heart? Even with siblings, clear accounts should be kept. Treating the founding of a guild like child's play, you'll end up being taken advantage of and counting the money for others.
Although she also knew that Senior Mia and Miss Audrey had a good relationship with the mistress and probably wouldn't take advantage of her, business is business, and personal feelings are personal feelings. It would be better to keep them separate.
An excellent guild aiming for stable and long-term development must have a good system and management rules. These need to be established from the start; otherwise, once the business grows, it might negatively impact relationships.
Oh well, it's no use talking about this. The mistress never listens when it comes to such matters; she's always disinterested.
Seeing her mistress's disinterested expression, the Pure White Witch sighed and then turned directly to Senior Mia and Audrey.
"I'll discuss the specific matters of the guild with you both later, but first..."
"Can someone please explain what this is? I remember you registered as a construction club, right? What sort of construction is this?"
Sophia pointed to the nearly completed warship model in front of them and asked.
...Pure White Witch in shock...
