The headquarters of Piram's Alchemy Workshop is located in Prest. At this time, on the top floor of the headquarters, in the huge office, Piram is processing documents. The Alchemy Workshop's income is quite rich, and he is already considering whether to buy a fourth villa. .
Dong Dong Dong—
There was a rapid knock on the door, which made Piram frown in displeasure, but he still responded in a low voice.
"Come in."
"Sir, I got the goods!"
As soon as he entered the office, Sanderson shook the Coke in his hand as if he was showing off a treasure, causing countless bubbles to bubble up.
"Yeah?"
Piram remained calm and pointed to his desk, where two bottles of Coke were placed, just like the bottle in Sanderson's hand.
"Hey, sir, have you already copied it? My God, you are such a genius, one of a kind!"
Sanderson flattered him immediately, but when he saw Piram's expression change, he didn't dare to say anything.
"You idiot! Haven't you read the newspapers in the past two days?"
Piram growled in a low voice, and at the same time smashed the "Daily Prest" in his hand at Sanderson. The loser did not dare to dodge, and could only let the newspaper hit his face, making a snapping sound. .
“This thing called Coke has become a household name in Prest and everyone is rushing to buy it, queuing up from the store to the street!”
When Piram first read the newspaper, he was very curious about this mysterious drink, but when he found out that the store selling Coke was the Warren Pharmacy Store that Antoine had cooperated with for many years, he felt an ominous feeling. He had a premonition, and it was not until he sent his men to buy it back that he finally confirmed that this Coke was the product that Reiner commissioned Antoine to make.
I don’t know what tricks Antoine or Reiner behind him used to allow "Daily Prest" to publish such a far-reaching novel.
"Is this so famous?"
Sanderson was stunned. He was not very literate, so he could not subscribe to newspapers. However, he did know that his boss had invested in several newspapers, such as "Prest Daily", "Prest Life" and so on. Yes, as for "Daily Prest", it seems that it is not its own property.
"In just one day, the sales of "Daily Prest" increased by 50%, and the market share climbed to 40% again. You know how much I spent to turn this pedantic The newspaper almost went bankrupt!"
Piram was already furious. He cultivated those newspapers just to create public opinion for himself in the future. As a mage, it was difficult for Piram to advance further. He could only seek an official career and become a city councilor as a businessman. , and then wait for an opportunity to seize the position of mayor and successfully enter the upper class society.
Newspapers such as "Daily Prest", which have reported on Piram's unfair competition in the past, are his enemies!
Now, the two enemies "Daily Prest" and Antoine have united together.
"It's time for both of them to fall into the deep end."
Piram cracked his knuckles, his expression gloomy.
"Sir, are we going to use that trick again?"
Sanderson was naturally referring to the method of imitating Coca-Cola and then selling it at a low price. This method has been tried and tested time and time again. Each of his opponents was so angry that he was helpless, which made Sanderson feel quite refreshed.
"Idiot, do you think I haven't thought about it?"
Piram cursed, then picked up a bottle of Coke on the table.
"I have asked the production team to take a look. The main ingredient of this drink is ordinary sugar water. It is easy to imitate a similar taste, but that is not the point."
"What's the problem?"
Of course Sanderson didn't understand those alchemies and asked hurriedly.
"Huh, you'll know when you open the bottle of Coke in your hand."
Piram looked at the violently shaken Coke in Sanderson's hand and said coldly.
Not sure why, Sanderson tried to open the metal bottle cap with his hands but failed. After thinking about it, he bit it with his teeth and then lifted it, and the Coke was opened.
Also released is a large amount of air.
The bottle cap was like a bullet, hitting Sanderson's upper gums violently, knocking out one of his teeth. Coke mixed with a large amount of gas spurted out, covering his whole body. This sugary water quickly It turned into a viscous liquid, making Sanderson extremely embarrassed.
"What's this!?"
It was the first time Sanderson encountered this drink. The shock was so great that he even forgot to be angry.
"There is a special gas in Coke, which is colorless and odorless. It can be dissolved in water and can give Coke a special flavor. It will also take away excess heat due to the release of the gas, achieving a cooling effect... Calculate It’s useless to tell you, in short, you just need to know that we can’t produce this gas now.”
Piram shook his head. This special gas seemed to be a new substance, but Antoine didn't publish a paper and just used it to make drinks? ?
He couldn't figure it out. The alchemy team tried several known gases, but either they couldn't be dissolved in water, or they would cause the taste of cola to change. So far, those alchemists that Piram paid a high price to buy back The magicians still have no clue, and they can't even make a low-quality version.
But Piram knew he couldn't delay it any longer, and of course New Moon Coke was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so he would never have a chance again.
So Piram ordered them to use sugar water as raw material to make the closest Coke regardless of the consequences. Although the taste was much worse than the real Coke, Piram was prepared to use price war to attack his opponents.
Since there is a chance that Antoine will get another bottle of Coke, Piram will just cut the price in half!
Although judging from the cost of arranging the alchemy array, such profit is very small, and it is even a loss after considering various consumption, but as long as it can capture the market, then everything is worth it.
"It's impossible for those untouchables to distinguish the taste of these two colas. This is enough."
As long as tomorrow, the Coca-Cola from Piram's Alchemy Workshop will be delivered to his major stores and restaurants. Piram is also planning to let his newspapers publish advertisements on the headlines and use the entire page to promote Piram. Coke.
Such shocking advertisements are definitely much higher than those so-called novels.
"As for you, Sanders, go and steal Antoine's alchemy circle for me. I will analyze it and write this gas into the paper, and completely seize everything from them!"
Piram ordered in an imposing manner, not even realizing that he had made a mistake in Sanderson's name.
He looked at the incomplete photos on the table. At this moment, he only had endless anger in his heart, wanting to make Antoine die without a burial place.
