It is not difficult for the two hundred alchemists in Haihun City Merchants to deliver the medicine within half a day, and it is even possible to deliver it immediately.
The quality of the spiritual plants that everyone grows is stable. This batch is all Amaranthus, which means that all the five-star spiritual pills refined are of the same quality.
After collecting the materials, the pharmacy will directly sell the refined products for sale.
So this slogan is not just a random shout. The price and time advantages are there, which makes the people of Tear City tilt the balance in their favor.
It's no secret that the alchemist was poached. Even if Mu Jiu tried his best to keep it a secret, the merchants in Haihun City wanted to let the whole city know.
Some small pharmacies in the city were almost on the verge of bankruptcy and it was impossible to hide it. The Alchemist Association began to integrate according to Lin Qinghen's request. This move was too big to be concealed.
On one side there is chaos and confusion, while on the other side there is wealth and power and rhetoric. Anyone with a pair of eyes can see which side is trustworthy.
So after the people of the city waited and watched for a few days, there was a sudden crowd in front of the Haihun City Mall.
The materials were collected in full swing over there, and a lot of money was spent. They even found a semi-open area near the pharmacy, and two hundred alchemists started to refine medicine together, and actively demonstrated it to everyone.
After selling the materials, people could just stand by and watch where their portion was delivered to. After a while, the hot pills still covered with ash were handed to them. This feeling was indeed different from before.
Although most of the alchemists there have low spiritual power levels, this scene is still nice to look at, so the entire process can be seen by everyone, and the sense of trust is stronger.
It has been a long time since the City of Tears has seen such a lively scene, with the aroma of medicine in the air and huge crowds of people. Apart from anything else, the atmosphere is very exciting.
It is a common practice for businesses to use gimmicks to attract people in any world. Mu Jiu felt angry and jealous seeing that it was useless, so he went to find Lin Qinghen, who was looking at the account books there and told him to be quiet.
"Go back and fix your messy pharmacy. I'll tell you after that. Don't worry about anything else," Lin Qinghen said, looking up at him. "Don't panic. You know what's going on outside. Director Mu, I won't let you suffer, and I won't let Leicheng suffer. Besides, we have materials in our hands. Why are you in a hurry?"
Apart from that, Lin Qinghen already had a lot of gains in his hands, which was his confidence.
Of all the crops harvested in Tear City, he accounted for one-third, and the Wolf Clan also had a lot of land over there. Half of what he grew went to Butterfly Dream, so his warehouse was full.
Mu Jiu knew, but that was Lin Qinghen's, not his. He was still thinking about the three people of the Yin family, thinking that Yin Hengxie would at least help to save the situation, but let alone Yin Hengxie, he refused Lin Qinghen's side.
"The Yin family will definitely put those materials into the warehouse for their own consumption. There are so many people in the family, and these are not enough," Lin Qinghen said helplessly, "Don't even think about it."
He and Yin Jiuxiao had discussed the whereabouts of the Yin family's materials, and had never intended to let these things flow into the market. They were all to be kept by the Yin family, as so many children were waiting to use them.
Whatever Mu Jiu mentioned was rebutted by him, but he was unwilling to leave and insisted on staying by Lin Qinghen's side.
He thought it was strange to say that. Lin Qinghen had stored so many materials into the warehouse without any intention of asking the alchemist to assist others in making medicine.
Mu Jiu couldn't figure it out, and was very angry outside. He turned around in front of him, his tone anxious: "Then all these days, didn't you do anything?"
Lin Qinghen glanced at him and said, "Aren't you a businessman? It's good to compete with others in a price contest."
If Lin Qinghen's expression wasn't good, Mu Jiu almost thought he was mocking him: "What's good about that? In the end, I was still suppressed by others. It was all in vain."
Lin Qinghen had guessed the result long ago. He didn't mean this aspect, but because of the price war, the people in the city didn't sell materials blindly at first, and learned to hoard goods for fear of selling them at a loss.
Even though the shopping mall in Haihun City is bustling today, many families in the city are actually holding back and have a lot of products that they haven't sold yet.
Mu Jiu was now furious. Lin Qinghen ignored him for a while, but he was still giving bad advice.
After the harvest period, Lin Qinghen wanted to make a new alliance with the people in the city. He wanted to change the alliance so that the mandatory materials could only be sold to the alchemists of Tear City and Die Meng, thinking that as long as they could hold on through this period, there would be no problems with Sea Soul City in the future.
"... In business, you should suppress first and then promote. How can you promote first and then suppress? If you restrict others at this time, it will only make the people distrust you more and have more complaints about them," Lin Qinghen shook his head, thinking that he was crazy and anxious. "Don't even think about it. Don't do it this way."
He wanted to change his oath later, but the more he changed it, the looser it became, and the less he was punished.
If you want to attract people, you can't rely on such coercive means.
Mu Jiu was usually quite smart, but at this moment he was really angry and his mind was not clear.
Lin Qinghen was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so he just said a few perfunctory words and sent him away, leaving only one sentence: "You'll know tomorrow."
He didn't tell Mu Jiu many things. This matter was a test for Mu Jiu. He had to keep calm in everything and treat everyone equally. The most important thing was to learn to trust his master.
In fact, Lin Qinghen was relying on this incident to subtly train him and make him more obedient in the future. Mu Jiu had always had some psychological problems, and Lin Qinghen had explained everything that needed to be explained, but he himself had not adjusted himself.
"How hasty," he muttered after sending the person away, "Really, what's the situation with Die Meng's medicine? He knew it before. Can the alchemist in Haihun City compare with him?"
Not to mention, many people in Tear City performed better than Mu Jiu.
The Diemeng Pharmacy in the city is different from other pharmacies. The people in the city really have some feelings for them. The Alchemist Association is losing ground and can't get any materials, but Lin Qinghen has dozens of them coming to inquire about it.
"We trust Young Master Lin more, and we can't trust anyone else," they said, "so let's go up and ask, what's going on with Young Master Lin?"
Lin Qinghen saw that these people looked familiar, so he was friendly and replied with a pleasant face: "We have set the purchase price. It is indeed ten spirit baht less than that of Haihun City, but the delivery here is faster than outside. If you really want to sell, you can get the pills now.
You all know about Diemeng's Soul Pill. It's just better than the ones sold outside. It's sold here for three months. Believe me, I won't let you suffer a loss."
A few people gathered together and whispered a few words, then listened to Lin Qinghen's words and most of them sold the materials on the spot.
Money is exchanged and goods are delivered at the same time. It is not so lively on Diemeng's side, but it is orderly and leisurely.
Mu Jiu left Lin Qinghen today with a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had doubted Lin Qinghen during this period of time.
But even though it was a very aggrieved day today, he calmed down after returning to the Alchemist Association and continued to integrate those pharmacies according to Lin Qinghen's instructions.
At this point, he had no other choice but to trust Lin Qinghen.
Lin Qinghen's only requirement was to keep only two. And the integration was not random, there was no requirement.
Originally, the two largest drug stores in the city were owned by Xiehe. One was a privately-owned brand that had been open for many years and was called Leicheng Drug Store. The other was opened by Mu Jiu himself and used his own name, Mu's Drug Store. Both names were simple and straightforward, and quite intuitive.
The remaining alchemists in Tear City all listen to Mu Jiujie, and the owners of the medicine stores are all Mu Jiujie's people, so the resistance is relatively small.
He divided the remaining alchemists in the association into two categories: those above the Xuan level were assigned to the Leicheng Pharmacy, and those below the Xuan level were assigned to the Mu's Pharmacy. The elixirs and other resources under their jurisdiction were redistributed.
Mu Jiu understood Lin Qinghen's thoughts. He was indeed planning with a long-term vision. This made the positioning of the two pharmacies begin to become different. The internal relationship was more harmonious and each had its own responsibilities, which made it easier to deal with the outside world in the future.
The market in the City of Tears is very small. The pharmacies in the city have to unite as one, and it would be meaningful to step out of it.
And taking this opportunity, Mu Jiu solved a lot of tricks. Before, the pharmacies were scattered and somewhat messy, but now there are only two left. He found that the things he could control have become much clearer and not as chaotic as before.
But this kind of integration is necessary, and many things need to be adjusted and considered.
Doing this at the critical moment, Mu Jiu couldn't help but worry and couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.
But Lin Qinghen was not Lin Qinghen, and the period when Mu Jiu began to doubt him did not even last a day.
The next day, the situation outside changed.
Yesterday’s excitement had just passed, and the common people who got the elixirs from the merchants in Haihun City went back to try them and felt something was wrong.
Today, the Haihun City pharmacy was crowded with people, but they were not there to sell materials. They were angry people who came to the pharmacy to discuss issues.
"How come your pills are so bad!"
"What's wrong with the quality? Can free stuff be so cheap?"
"We have all used Diemeng's Spiritual Soul Pill before, don't think of deceiving us!"
"Refund! No, return the goods! We don't want to sell them! Return the materials to us!"
The merchants in Haihun City didn't know what was going on. They were making a fuss outside while at the same time making a mess.
They were the ones watching over the refining of the medicine. The pharmacists were well trained, so how could there be any problems
Mu Jiu was so happy when he heard the news early in the morning that he hurried up to watch the fun. After seeing the scene, he was even happier.
Yes, why didn’t he think of that Lin Qinghen also had this trick!
At that time, the hemostatic powder could already explain the problem.
Mu Jiu has gotten used to making hemostatic powder in the past three months. Only Diemeng can make the five-star hemostatic powder, and it is sold at a higher price than theirs.
The Tear City Hemostatic Powder was already famous and in great demand, so Die Meng did not take away all the market. The pharmacist helped the medicine here to be sold in batches, and both sides made money.
The main thing is what the goods are sold at, the price here is cheaper, the effect is actually similar, and the buyers have no objection.
But this time it’s different, this time it’s free, and the so-called price difference does not exist, so everyone will inevitably be picky.
Mu Jiu has been puzzled. He doesn't understand whether it is the alchemist's fault, or Lin Qinghen is doing something wrong, or maybe Diemeng really has five-star red round wheat hiding from them, so he didn't extend this idea to Lingpo Pill at the first time.
Before, the harvest period of Lingpo Pill had not yet arrived, and Mu Jiu was not like Lin Qinghen who had to lose money to use ripening agents, and outsiders could not get the materials.
During these three months, only Die Meng had produced Lingpo Pills. Mu Jiu didn't realize that the gap existed and was very obvious.
But the people of Tear City had already used the Butterfly Dream Spirit Pill, and they could feel any slight difference, not to mention that Lin Qinghen's side was only 10% short.
This 10% stacking is also affected by the elixir itself. The top-level four-star hemostatic powder is stacked on top of the five-star one. In fact, the Lingpo Pill, which performs better among the five-star ones, is more obviously affected.
Moreover, due to the way the Lingpo Pill is used, which is different from healing wounds, people will feel more sensitive during the practice, and the difference will be more prominent.
All takeouts ordered in Diemengzhi were of top five-star quality, while the ones ordered in Haihuncheng were inferior to the others.
In exchange for the pills, the feeling of using them is downgraded. Who can accept this
And that’s not enough.
Mu Jiu was outside watching the excitement with a grin on his face, but the news he received next made him unable to laugh, and he was completely shocked.
"The people from Diemeng who were selling materials yesterday said that the pills they received were six-star! They were six-star Soul Spirit Pills!"
“Better than before!”
"You guys are losing a lot!"
…How could it be six stars
This is not right.
Mu Jiu's mind was buzzing. All the products sold by Diemeng before had five stars. He had seen it.
He didn't understand what new thing Lin Qinghen was doing.
No wonder he was not panicking. With such a huge gap, what did the things that the merchants in Haihun City did matter
