In the alchemy workshop, workers from the West**** family are continuously transporting a large amount of herbs and raw materials, enough to meet the preparation of 50,000 bottles of healing potions. Although fifty thousand bottles seems like a lot, Free City usually consumes seven to eight thousand bottles of healing potions every day, and this is when the situation is relatively stable. Once a war breaks out, the consumption of various potions will instantly increase several times, and even more Needless to say, even if there is no war, some mercenary groups and the kingdom's army will purchase healing potions and reserve them as emergency supplies.
You must know that the price of healing medicines in peacetime is very different from the price in wartime!
Moreover, in addition to therapeutic potions, many types of potions can be introduced in the future, such as detoxification, physical strengthening, magic recovery, magic resistance, etc. Treatment potions should be regarded as the most basic products in potions. The potion market on the entire continent has always been hungry and thirsty. It has not been saturated, let alone the various eternal potions that can completely strengthen the body at once. Those potions are completely priceless and marketless. As long as a pharmacist can prepare a bottle, even the lowest purity can be sold. The wealth he got out was enough to live comfortably for a lifetime.
As for resurrection potions and life-extending potions, they can no longer be described as wealth, and sometimes they may have to resort to war.
Lelouch looked at the report given by the frost elf elf pharmacist Tangier and pondered. The monthly output of seven hundred bottles with the purity maintained at 80% is not the highest output of the current workshop. Wait until the sixteen elf pharmacists After getting more familiar with the workshop, it may not be a problem to produce more than 1,000 bottles per month. Not to mention that the workshop is large enough to accommodate fifty pharmacists working at the same time.
"How do antidote potions and other types of potions compare to healing potions?"
"Theoretically, the ingredients of antidote and other types of medicines are more complicated. Especially antidote, although it is a universal type, it also takes into account how to neutralize different toxins during the preparation process. The more it needs to be neutralized, the more powerful it will be. The toxin preparation process becomes more difficult and troublesome," Tangier answered professionally.
Lelouch also asked about the market situation of medicine machines. Generally speaking, there is no doubt that the use of healing medicines is the largest. Secondly, the market for detoxification medicines is also very large, especially for some hunters, mercenaries and adventurers. Once they are traveling, Antidotes are required when encountering poisonous insects, poisonous snakes and some poisonous monsters. Some other potions will also involve specific users. For example, most of the users of magic recovery potions are mages. Although it is definitely not comparable to the treatment potion in terms of usage, the price of the magic restoration potion is at least ten times that of the treatment potion, and the consumer group will definitely not be stingy with such a small amount of money.
"I have to say that the pharmaceutical industry is really profitable." Looking at the sales of the first batch of pharmaceuticals on the report and the estimated profits after the second batch of 700 bottles of pharmaceuticals are promoted, even if you are not very sensitive to money Lelouch also had to sigh. The profits in this industry are terrifyingly high.
Being able to vacate such a large market for oneself to occupy is also due to the backwardness of the education system in this other world. There is no systematic training for pharmacists. Except for many formulas that have been published, the rest are unknown to pharmacists. It is a secret recipe that has never been passed on to anyone. In addition, the production volume has not been able to increase due to the lack of high efficiency of the assembly line operation model. Moreover, pharmacists blindly hope to prepare higher-end pharmaceuticals and ignore the middle and lower-class markets. The result is that the pharmaceutical market is currently in an extremely hungry state.
Next to Lelouch, Sephiroth, who was wearing his signature black trench coat, was holding a bottle of prepared healing potion. Through the bright red potion that looked like blood, Sephiroth shook his head with a half-smile, put it down, and then picked it up again. Got another bottle of potion.
"What's wrong~ Is there another problem with these potions?" Lelouch asked in confusion as he looked at Sephiroth's strange behavior.
"Huh~ It's nothing┉┉"
Sephiroth looked at the potion and said without looking back: "I'm just curious about this kind of thing. It's somewhat similar to some of the technologies in my original world but not exactly the same."
"If you have to think in a 'scientific' way it's really unscientific."
"Unscientific!? Hahaha~ Human beings in ancient times still found rain and wind to be unbelievable, but many unscientific things will become very scientific after understanding the principles."
"What about the so-called 'gods' of this world?"
When he heard the word god, Sephiroth's lips curled up slightly and he replied with confidence: "It's just a higher-level life form. Maybe one day I will become a member of 'god' in this world. "
"Should I praise your confidence?"
"No need, I don't care about other people's opinions┉┉"
In Lelouch's eyes, Sephiroth is a person with a rebellious character. He has courage, strong perseverance and extreme self-confidence. But once the confidence and strong will deep down in his heart are reversed, he will become the most terrifying enemy.
After checking the situation of the completion workshop, Lelouch and Sephiroth took a carriage and began to return to the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters, while Gus and Kenjiro were left behind. The workshop was disguised as a warehouse on the surface, but that didn't mean it was okay. Sit back and relax. If the elf pharmacist Tangier is responsible for the operation of the entire workshop, then Kenjiro and Gus are responsible for the safety of the workshop to avoid being infiltrated and destroyed. Now the two are also responsible for training the newly recruited guards.
On the way back to the Chamber of Commerce, Lelouch was still looking at the report. The figures outlined on it made Lelouch very satisfied. The profits from the potion were huge. No wonder Alisa immediately recommended herself to her family's Chamber of Commerce. Trying to get a share of the pie, the profit generated by the workshop before it reaches full capacity is already extraordinary. Then the future can really be described as making money every day.
"Do you make a lot of money?" asked Sephiroth, who was bored.
Lelouch put down the report and replied in a good mood: "It's more than I thought. If the expected profit is achieved, then when the chamber of commerce is expanded, what we will worry about is not a lack of funds but a shortage of manpower."
"Wealth always makes people crazy, but we didn't come to this city to make money. Right?"
"Yes! The purpose of making money is to establish a stronghold to transfer risks. If you really want it┉┉"
Lelouch fell silent in the middle of his words, because the carriage that was still running suddenly stopped. According to the distance between the Silver Wing Chamber of Commerce and the workshop, the speed of the carriage must not have returned to the headquarters of the chamber of commerce.
At this time, there was a gentle knocking sound in the carriage, and the carriage driver opened the partition and said in a frightened voice: "Sir Lelouch. There are two carriages blocking our way forward."
Lelouch nodded: "Ah~ I understand!"
Not only the two carriages, but also Lelouch, who was ambushing beside him, could clearly sense the dragon's spiritual power. There are more than twenty people in total.
After learning the situation, Sephiroth grabbed his sword and said, "It seems it's my turn to work."
"Wait~ Let's take a look at the situation first. The other party just stopped us and seems to have no intention of taking action."
"Wasting time and intercepting someone halfway does not represent kindness."
Sephiroth was a little disdainful, and if he could, he would have a good fight. The petty fights in the food club were not brought to the forefront at all, and my favorite knife has never seen blood in a real sense.
However, Lelouch was not interested in caring about what Sephiroth was thinking. He stepped out of the carriage and looked at the sky. Lelouch realized that he was indeed busy too late. It was almost late at night, so he turned his attention to the person who stopped him. Get rid of your own people. There are only five people appearing now, wearing uniform black dresses and looking polite. If they hadn't done such impolite behavior as intercepting them late at night and in a secluded place, they would have looked a bit like waiters inviting guests to a dinner party. .
"Sir Lelouch Lamperuki! We have a deal that we would like to discuss with you."
"If you really want to talk to me, you should have someone send a letter or send someone to notify me instead of stopping my carriage with such a rude move on the street." Lelouch said with a gentle tone. Smile said unmoved by the situation in front of her.
The waiter in black dress also said tepidly: "I'm sorry for my behavior today, but Sir Lelouch, please don't waste too much of our time!"
Looking at the other party's behavior, Lelouch couldn't help but sneer: "Didn't your mother teach you one thing? Never follow a stranger casually, and he is a very dangerous person at first glance."
"I told you, Sir Lelouch, not to waste too much of our money┉┉"
"What can you do if I refuse? Kill me? Or kidnap me? Although some parts of the Free City are indeed lawless, this is an upper-class area. It's best to consider the consequences of doing such a thing."
The regulations in the upper-class areas of the free city are very strict. In order to maintain pressure on the lower-class districts, conflicts between businessmen in the upper-class districts rarely turn to violence, thus preventing the upper-class districts from losing their control over the lower classes in disordered self-cannibalism. Binding. Businessmen in upper-class areas usually use commercial means to suppress their opponents. Even if they really want to use some shady means, they will choose to do it outside the free city.
But now the opponent actually attacks directly in the upper area, which is already a foul in a way.
Seeing Lelouch's fearless attitude, the waiter in black dress turned slightly gloomy: "It seems that Sir Lelouch, you know a lot, but I also want to advise you, never underestimate the heritage of this city┉┉Law It is always dead and people are alive.”
"Do you know what I read in your words?"
Lelouch's eyes became extremely disdainful: "That's a bluff! The foundation of this city is this city's, not yours. Even the top three giants have three branches of power. No one dares to speak arrogantly about this city. The city has the final say!”
"Pay attention to your tone, Mr. Lelouch. We know that you are now a popular figure in the business circle, but don't be too self-righteous. Many times, some unexpected situations will occur. I think you don't want to see your unparalleled one." What happened to my beautiful sister?"
Lelouch's face turned a little ugly. Because the other party actually threatened me with his sister. Although the 'sister' was not his real sister, it still made me angry: "You are wasting my time. Go back and tell your master. If you want to talk to me, just follow the instructions." Use normal etiquette."
After that, Lelouch didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore and started to get on the carriage.
"You will regret your choice today ~ Sir Lelouch!"
"I don't think so, but I think it is necessary to show your strength in order to avoid more trouble in the future. Sephiroth, can you stay with them for a while?"
Sephiroth, who was watching the two parties talking for a long time, sneered: "I'm very happy! Otherwise, why would I come to this city?" (~^~)
