It was confirmed that Toby was cured after taking the medicine.
Boris eventually drank the botanical potion that Desina gave.
He has his own considerations in his heart and understands why Desinia gave him the medicine.
What's more, before leaving, the little earl looked at him and said a word.
"If Mr. Abel can't drink this botanical medicine, then your guts should be worse than Toby."
Boris: "… "
No drink.
He definitely couldn't compare to a child who was only a few years old.
That night, Boris drank the first pot of medicine, and his mouth was almost tingling with bitterness.
the next morning.
The Count of Desinia sent someone three new potions, and explained that the three potions were to be consumed in the morning, noon and after lunch respectively.
Vincent couldn't help asking: "Master Boris, how do you feel about your current physical condition?"
Boris: "I feel much better since I woke up in the morning, and my head doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday... This medicine is really effective."
He couldn't help picking up the empty jar left over from last night's drinking, leaned to the mouth of the jar and smelled it, and was immediately struck by the strange smell that was hard to dissipate.
This time, he resisted and did not escape.
Afterwards, Boris asked Vinson to bring a piece of parchment and put it on the table.
He poured all the residue in the jar onto the parchment, and then slowly pulled the residue with his fingers to take a closer look.
Vincent couldn't help but look closer.
After a long time, he shook his head and sighed: "Master Boris, I can't tell what kind of plant this is made from, and I don't know which doctor is so capable..."
"Because of this potion, we may have to lower our negotiating stance with Count Desinia."
As the chief steward of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, Vincent has first-class vision and means.
How could he not see that if such a quick-acting and non-dangerous drug was put into production, and then the finished product was sold to the public, the resulting benefits would be enormous.
In particular, this botanical is effective in treating symptoms of cough and fever.
Commoners and slaves can buy them in stores for a certain price without going to a doctor for treatment, and they are sure to have a very good curative effect, and the life safety of the nobles is guaranteed...
This is the most urgent expectation that everyone can dream of.
Count Desinia deliberately took out this herbal medicine, but he also successfully hooked them.
"Master Boris, what do you think?"
Boris was silent for a while, slowly twisting the residue between his fingers, and suddenly smiled: "I really underestimated this count of Desinia."
Boris took another day's medicine, and his condition improved quickly, his body has recovered obviously, and he is full of energy.
He and Vincent were invited to the castle again.
The two sides are still sitting at the two ends of the long table, and even the number of people present is not bad.
Xia Zuoyi was the first to speak: "Mr. Abel, what do you think of this herbal medicine?"
Boris: "Very good."
"I wonder if Lord Earl can recommend a doctor who developed this medicine for me?"
Xia Zoe smiled at him.
"No hurry, let's talk about cooperation first."
Boris raised his eyebrows: "Cooperation?"
"I remember that there is no cooperation between the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the Thorns Chamber of Commerce. Is the count wrong?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Naturally, I'm right. The lack of cooperation in the past does not mean that there will be no cooperation in the future."
"Don't Mr. Abel think this botanical medicine is a good cooperation object?"
"Or... Mr. Abel doesn't actually think that this botanical potion is worth selling in the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce?"
Whoever has enough chips in their hands will have the initiative.
In the few days that Boris lived in Vessus, he had completely discovered the method and process of how to extract refined salt.
Once Lake Betala crystallizes and refines refined salt according to the salt drying method... then rose salt will not be a constraint on Nagabi salt.
If according to the previous plan, they will completely hold Desinia, and he will have to merge the Thorns Chamber of Commerce into the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and the rose salt and Nagabi Salt will be sold together in the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce.
Lost benefits will eventually come back.
But as soon as the botanical medicine came out, the whole situation changed completely.
They are no longer on the active side, and the right to speak is taken by Desinia.
Boris said: "This botanical medicine is certainly worth selling in the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and it even has great significance."
"Lord Earl may as well say it directly, how do you want to cooperate with the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce? Or, what conditions do you think this botanical potion will allow the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to offer?"
Zoe Xia: "I'll tell Mr. Abel how to cooperate."
"The proportional dose of this plant medicine needs to be allocated in advance. Putting more or less of each plant will affect the efficacy of the medicine... I only sell the finished medicine to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce."
"First, the plants that are boiled into this potion will be mixed together and crushed, and then packed in parchment paper into a pack, each pack can be boiled into a jar of potion."
"I will send someone to deliver the finished medicine to the Anas Empire. Your Nagabi Chamber of Commerce can sell it now."
"Given that we need to pay for plant cultivation labor costs, production costs, and shipping costs, the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce only needs to cook and sell."
"So the profit is divided into seven for me and three for Nagabi."
Boris did not answer for the time being.
Vincent immediately said: "It's impossible, it's impossible for us Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to give up such a big benefit."
Xia Zuoyi pouted: "Oh, then I'm eight, you two are okay."
Vincent: "..."
He wondered if the little count was deliberately playing tricks on him
But he has no proof.
Boris shook his head: "Will the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce agree to such a profit sharing?"
"The cooperation method you mentioned is also unreasonable, not to mention the distance from Gadayat to the Anas Empire, how time-consuming it is to sail on the Volri River..."
"In the event of a storm, disaster, etc., the ship sinks or the water enters, and the plant medicine of a ship is melted into the river, who will compensate for the loss?"
"What's more, we don't know the ratio and dosage of plants."
"In case the medicine packs that were delivered with great difficulty are exchanged, and then boiled out and drank by the patients, it has no effect, or there is harm to the patients... Who will be responsible for this?"
Xia Zuoyi said: "You don't agree with such cooperation methods and profit sharing?"
Boris: "Yes, I disagree, there are too many loopholes in this method."
Xia Zuoyi: "But I like this method of cooperation very much, and I don't plan to give in."
Boris: "Lord Earl might as well consider it carefully."
"No matter how hidden you hide the doctor who developed the botanical medicine, you will eventually be found out. Compared with a small country like Gadayat, where do you think he would like to develop?"
"I think he prefers to stay here and develop."
Boris: "Does your Count want to try the methods of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce?"
"In no mood."
"Since that's the case, Lord Earl might as well bring someone over to ask him personally, and save the trouble later."
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help shaking his feet leisurely under the long table, and said, "He's right here."
Boris raised his eyebrows, and his eyes couldn't help but swept over Judit, and then over the two knights standing at the back... None of them looked like each other.
Vincent: "Please don't talk nonsense, Lord Count."
Xia Zuoyi stretched out his hand and pointed to himself: "I."
Boris was stunned: "What?"
Xia Zuoyi: "I am the one who makes the botanical medicine."
"… "
Vincent couldn't believe it, and stuttered: "Boss, Count?!"
"Please don't joke..."
"I won't joke about this kind of thing. The botanical medicine is the result of my research. I will use this to apply for a badge and qualification to the Alchemy Association to become an alchemist."
"… "
Xia Zuoyi put his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked directly at Boris' deep lake green eyes.
He said, "Do you want to take me back to the Anas Empire? But I prefer my own territory."
"Sorry, no appointment."
Vincent seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by Boris raising his hand.
Boris: "Is this botanical potion really made by you?"
He actually believed it in his heart.
Xia Zuoyi nodded: "That's right."
After a while, Boris couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect it... Your Excellency Count, you make it difficult for me to do this..."
He shook his head: "But I still can't agree with the cooperation method you proposed. It seems that this time..."
Xia Zuoyi said at this time: "Why don't I take a step back."
Boris looked slightly surprised.
Xia Zoe: "I can completely sell the formula ratio of this plant medicine to the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce. After that, I will naturally not interfere with the issue of how the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce wants to price and sell it."
"But I want to have an independent trademark right, that is to say, all the pharmacy jars that are sold must be engraved with the emblem of the Desina family."
Boris: "You only have one request?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Of course not more."
"I also want the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to promise that it will not interfere and suppress any goods that the Thorns Chamber of Commerce will sell in the future."
"And also promise that Nagabi Salt will permanently withdraw from the kingdom of Gadayat."
This sentence made Boris look at Xia Zoe deeply.
Inexplicable eyes.
Xia Zuoyi calmly let him stare.
after awhile.
Xia Zuoyi said: "If you look at collecting money again, you can give a gold coin to continue watching."
Rao Shi's atmosphere was a little stagnant, and Vincent couldn't help pursing his lips.
Boris said: "Do you actually want only the second cooperation in the end?"
The first method of cooperation is just a pretext to be thrown out in advance for recharging, right? !
Xia Zuoyi smiled and didn't speak when she heard the words.
Boris: "If there is a fourth request, Lord Earl might as well say it all at once."
Xia Zuoyi shook his head sadly: "No more."
"We can talk about what kind of price the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce can pay to buy the formula of this botanical medicine."
Boris: "You have made three conditions."
"Even if I buy the formula of the potion, the Thorns Chamber of Commerce can still sell it. In this way, does the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce suffer?"
"Besides, I haven't said whether I will agree to the request made by the Count."
Xia Zuoyi: "Does Mr. Abel think I can only make medicines for cough and fever?"
"The Thorns Chamber of Commerce and the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce can always carry out friendly cooperation in the future. As long as the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce can give up a little space, we can achieve a win-win situation..."
"Are you right? Mr. Abel."
Boris couldn't help remembering what Vincent had said to him before the castle.
Vincent said: "Master Boris, in fact, if you don't want to be at a disadvantage in the conversation with Count Desinia, you can use the power of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to suppress the Thorns Chamber of Commerce mercilessly."
"You can even force Count Desinia to hand over the formula for the botanical medicine..."
"There are thousands of ways to get it, and you can choose a path that will do whatever you want."
Boris replied at the time: "My father once told me that it is better to make enemies than to make friends. It is not easy for the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to achieve today's achievements. If you use any means for profit, you will eventually lose everything."
Vincent looked relieved.
Boris: "If you really have to retreat... then retreat. Appropriate concessions can lead to longer-term development."
But before giving in.
He will definitely use coercion, inducement, and even intimidation. Whichever side can't hold on first will lose.
At this moment.
Boris said: "I need time to think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."
He has to save himself some face...
