Although he has only arrived in the Free City for a short period of time, in the eyes of many businessmen and even high-level businessmen in the Free City, the mysterious young man Lelouch is nothing less than a money-making machine. He first came to the Free City All kinds of goods brought in the city have been sold out. Those high-purity metal ores, as well as various excellent quality gems, Warcraft leather and other materials are rare treasures on the market. After being launched, they were quickly sold out by many. Makers and blacksmiths snapped up the pieces. Some discerning businessmen even hoarded some of them. After the market saturation recovered, they started selling them at higher prices and made a lot of money.
After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, many people were waiting to see Lelouch's next move. Judging from the information gathered in the road, it seems that Lelouch does not intend to continue to provide those precious materials to the Free City as a supplier of goods, but if He doesn't want to be a sharer of the cake, but being a part of the cake is difficult in a free city.
Which method will Lelouch choose to try to share the cake in the free city? This has also become a concern for everyone.
However, what is unexpected is that Lelouch actually chose the pharmaceutical industry. You must know that the profits from pharmaceuticals can be described as huge profits, but in the free city, the pharmaceutical market has almost been monopolized by the Pharmacists Association. It’s not that no one has had the idea to enter the pharmaceutical market over the years, it’s just that anyone who wanted to take a piece of the pie from the Pharmacists Association eventually had to withdraw sadly due to the violent crushing of the Pharmacists Association.
So far, most chambers of commerce can only serve as subordinates to the Pharmacists Association. Even if some powerful chambers of commerce can train a few pharmacists, the most they can produce is just a few more decorations on their own store shelves. Sometimes it is not even enough to supply the family.
The first batch of potions launched by Lelouch's Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce was small but of astonishingly high purity, and the second batch of potions was guaranteed by Lelouch to have a quality and quantity of only 700 bottles. It caused a big stir among the chambers of commerce. The quantity of 700 bottles a month must be kept above 80%. Judging from the number, it is estimated that there are at least ten pharmacist masters under the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce.
Although master pharmacists are valuable in terms of their abilities in the Pharmacists Association, they are not rare talents. There are twenty masters registered with the Pharmacists Association. But the problem is that the Pharmacist Association has developed in the free city for nearly a hundred years before it has accumulated such a huge foundation. However, Lelouch, the president of the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce, recruited ten pharmacist masters in one day. This time and background There is no comparison between the two sides!
However, in fact, among the sixteen frost elf pharmacists sent by Yalin. There are only four masters, including Tangier as the leader, and the rest are senior pharmacists. In theory, it is impossible to guarantee that the purity of any bottle of healing potion can reach 80%, but in the city of Ulduar These pharmacists are all trained in the assembly line production method by Yalin's deliberate request. The master pharmacists are only responsible for preparing the main source liquid, while the senior pharmacists perform processing on the basis of the main source liquid.
Of course, different pharmacists will have slightly different preparation methods. Generally speaking, two people working together to prepare a bottle of potion will be more likely to cause problems, but these frost and snow elves have been cooperating with each other for a long time, and there is no such problem in the assembly line method. However, this will limit the growth of senior elf pharmacists. After all, they cannot gain more experience by doing low-skilled blending work every day.
Yalin can't control so much about this. He will first help Lelouch lay the foundation in the free city, and then he can gradually adjust after the situation improves.
Lelouch also made some adjustments after referring to the market situation. After all, the Pharmacists Association has a very deep foundation. It is impossible to defeat the other party in terms of quantity and price advantages. Therefore, Lelouch directly positioned the competition method. In terms of quality, we only launch high-purity pharmaceuticals every time to compete with the Pharmacists Association in terms of quality. It is impossible for the master pharmacists of the Pharmacists Association to devote all their energy to preparing the most basic therapeutic potions. In this way, even if they are more expensive, there will definitely be people who want to buy the high-purity therapeutic potions.
Of course, there is a price to pay to ensure that each bottle of medicine reaches 80% purity, and the price is that the original production of about 200 bottles per day has dropped to the level of 700 bottles per month.
When Alisa entered the Ru drawing room, the president of the Kinsol Chamber of Commerce who was discussing with Liu Tao immediately turned his attention.
"Miss Shilevi, you came at the right time."
As if seeing a life-saving straw, Fan Ke hurriedly turned his attention to Alisa for help. In Fan Ke's opinion, compared with the new chamber of commerce manager with the strange name of "Liu Tao", the female assistant "Xilai" Wei' is very trusted by the president Lelouch and has great power in the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, I had met Xi Laiwei a few times before and they should be considered acquaintances.
Alisa can't stand Fanke's enthusiasm. Although on the surface, she is indeed a high-ranking personal assistant to the president, Liu Tao, who is now in charge of the chamber of commerce, comes from the Yanold Mountains and is under the command of the unknown god. To put it metaphorically, If he had to help Lelouch just because of the contract, he was just a temporary worker. Liu Tao is a contract worker within the system.
"As for the potions, please do me a favor, Miss Shilevi."
"Mr. Fanke, I understand your difficulties. It's just that the first batch of medicine supply has been reserved. It's just..." At this point, Alisa looked at Fanke deeply. Under the expectant eyes of the other party, he said: "┉I will discuss it with President Lelouch after he comes back, and if possible, I will try my best to allocate a part of the medicine to you."
Although it was not directly confirmed, Fanke finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much, Miss Xi Laiwei. The quantity I need is not very large, as long as I can provide a sales share, it is enough."
"I have done my best Mr. Fanke and hope to continue working with the Kingsol Chamber of Commerce in the future."
"Of course Miss Shirley, this is my honor!" Fanke quickly stood up and shook hands with Alisa.
Looking at Fanke's grateful look, Alisa actually wanted to tell him that the West**** family alone had received a full 200 bottles of the 700 bottles of medicine under her own operation. , accounting for almost one-third of the entire share. As a businessman, Alisa knows very well how valuable therapeutic potions with a purity of more than 80% are. After the businessman gets it, he will probably leave a few bottles before selling them. Use it to save your own life.
Just as Liu Tao said, breaking the contract privately and selling the goods ordered by others to another person at a high price will have a great impact on the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce. Alisa is not stupid enough to do anything to discredit the Chamber of Commerce, her immediate boss. For this reason, all the goods supplied to the Kinsol Chamber of Commerce will be deducted from the West**** family's share.
In Alisa's eyes, the Kinsol Chamber of Commerce is not a very powerful chamber of commerce. If it were normal, Alisa would probably not spit out part of the benefits to others, but during these times, Alisa also felt that Lelouch came out to take care of the Kinsol Chamber of Commerce a little. Of course it is definitely not because of Isis. Although the girl can be regarded as a beautiful beauty, she is far behind compared with the crystal dragon Buyani, let alone compared with herself. Besides, the god of the gods How could it be possible to look down on a mortal? In these days, he had never considered using a honey trap to seduce Lelouch, because he knew very well that it would never succeed.
Although Alisa couldn't guess why Lelouch took more care of the Kinsol Chamber of Commerce, she still did what he wanted to do to help the Kinsol Chamber of Commerce. Firstly, it was a way to please Lelouch, and secondly, it was Jinsol. Sol Chamber of Commerce does not have much say at the top. However, some small chambers of commerce at the lower levels are relatively powerful, and good words used as 'allies' can still play some role in certain circumstances.
Isis seemed to care more about Lelouch than her father's desire for potions. After learning that Lelouch could not return today because of something, Isis couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. However, in order to maintain the image of a good lady, Isis Still sitting in the chair listening to the discussion that was indeed a bit boring for me.
However, the man named Liu Tao in front of her made Isis take a second look. Both his service and his name revealed an exotic style. The Free City was a melting pot from many different countries, cultures and races, but these Isis has never seen Liu Tao's style of clothing in the free city in these years.
Although this man always squints his eyes slightly, he looks very weak. But I don't know why Isis always smelled a hint of danger in Liu Tao.
After Fan Ke left with her daughter, Alisa finally sat down in her free time, poured a cup of tea and drank it: "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Tao, I'm good at answering on your behalf."
"Ah~ It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Liu Tao, who squinted his eyes slightly, smiled like a 'good old man': "Originally, I didn't understand some things in the Chamber of Commerce. Miss Alisa, you are in charge of Mr. Lelouch. The assistant who has been here for so long is naturally more experienced than me, so I probably want you to learn more."
On the surface, Alyssa smiled and talked nonsense with Liu Tao, but secretly she was constantly examining Liu Tao's character and strength. To be honest, this young man was very scheming and capable, especially in terms of leadership skills. Yes, after becoming a steward of the Chamber of Commerce, although I always look a bit lazy and casual when I see him. But in fact, it only took him a short time to get to know the entire chamber of commerce. On the surface, he seemed careless, but in fact, he was meticulous. He had a little bit of imagination with the president, Lelouch, and that was that he also liked to hide behind his back.
"This is a city of 'desire'. The rich are drunk and dreaming, the poor are struggling, and the rich people are frozen to death on the road of wine and meat. This sentence is as if they were born for this city." Liu Tao suddenly said that he was born for this city. After sighing, he took out a small bottle from his pocket, poured out two small blue candies and threw them into his mouth, and then motioned to Alyssa if she wanted one.
After taking the candy and eating one, Alisa chewed this novel candy called chewing gum. When I ate it for the first time, I found that no matter how hard I chewed the sticky candy, it would not melt and I had to swallow it. Only now did I realize that this candy only needs to be chewed until the taste is gone before spitting it out.
As a businessman, after Alisa learned about the several uses of this candy, such as new breath, mobilizing facial muscles, and preventing caries, she immediately began to examine the market value of this candy from a businessman's perspective. She chewed one after a meal or before attending a dance. Two candies can freshen the breath, and they must be liked by nobles and rich people who pay attention to appearance and dignity. It is also a pleasure to chew and play with this kind of candy to move facial muscles and prevent caries. If it can be launched into the market in large quantities, it might even bring about a new fashion, and it would also be a good thing to make money.
Liu Tao doesn't dislike Alisa's character of never letting go of any money-making opportunity, but instead of chewing gum, he thinks it would be better to promote another product, something he always liked to smoke in the past. Although he I have quit now, but this thing can definitely make a lot of money in this corrupt city that is obsessed with money and money. (~^~)
