After the Grand Duke of Orville and the envoys of the Anas Empire left, the next thing was Boris.
Xia Zoe understood that Boris's sudden arrival to Desinia's territory must be more than a simple surprise to him.
as predicted.
Boris found Orville alone a day after he left.
"Little Zoe, let's talk about the cooperation at the Chamber of Commerce."
Xia Zoe nodded and brought Boris into the study.
At present, the main cooperation between the Thorns Chamber of Commerce and the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is not only the initial botanical medicament, but has also successively carried out cooperation including botanical ointment and water pattern paper.
The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce paved the way for the establishment of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce in the Anas Empire, allowing the Thorns Chamber of Commerce to successfully enter the imperial market and gather money through the sale of botanical medicines and ointments.
The two most lucrative things in the Chamber of Thorns are rose salt and medicines for wounds.
This is the foundation of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.
The same is what people must use every day.
The same is something that can save lives at critical moments. Even fanatical believers will say that the botanical medicine and ointment of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce are more effective than the holy water given by the God of Creation.
The sale of these two things brings a steady stream of money to the Thorns Merchant Guild.
It is precisely because of this that Xia Zuoyi's plan to rebuild the two cities was successfully implemented.
The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce has provided him with sufficient convenience and assistance in the past three years.
This allows the Chamber of Thorns to gain a foothold in the Anas Empire and is inseparable from Boris.
However, the reason why the Thorns Chamber of Commerce has not been jointly suppressed by other chambers of commerce also benefits from the reputation of Xia Zoe alchemist.
Where is the drug configuration so easy.
Although alchemy is also linked to medicine to a certain extent, alchemy is different from medicine.
Alchemy is a bold idea and is committed to the development of refining the "philosopher's stone", which inevitably includes metal substances.
And metals are mostly toxic.
Medicine is rigorous.
What's more, if you don't understand the medicinal properties, pharmacology, usage and dosage of herbal medicines, how can you successfully prepare medicines that can treat patients.
Xia Zuoyi's biggest reliance is his unique "alchemy method".
He was a gifted alchemist, as evidenced by the famous other alchemists who came in and the alchemy tower built in Vessus.
But it is these two issues that Boris is going to talk about with him today.
The original salt sales channel has always been controlled by the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce. Later, after the emergence of the more convenient and better quality sea salt drying method, the salt sales channel was expanded.
The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is no longer a monopoly and is gradually loosening controls on the sale of salt.
After three years of development, many chambers of commerce have begun to sell salt.
The prices of these salts were lower, and as soon as they appeared, they quickly seized market share, although not to the point of squeezing the rose salt and Nagabi salt out of the market, but also caused the price of the two salts to drop again and again.
In Boris' view, this is a vicious cycle of competition.
But in Xia Zuoyi's view, this is a normal trend.
After all, the method of drying salt in the sea is there, and everyone who is interested will learn it. Furthermore, the price of salt will only get cheaper and cheaper until it drops to a certain extent.
As for the botanical potion and ointment, Boris brought a message to Xia Zoe.
"Do you know Chebman Norton?" Boris asked.
Xia Zuoyi nodded: "Yes, a well-known master alchemist, he also minored in medicine."
This alchemist has long been known and respected in the alchemy society.
Since Xia Zuoyi chose to become an alchemist, he naturally needs to know something related to it.
After he successfully obtained the title of alchemist, he conducted a lot of investigations.
Among them, Chebman Norton's name frequently appeared in the survey.
—He has accomplished many things, and is undoubtedly a very famous and highly respected man.
"What happened to Chebman Norton?"
Xia Zoe asked, presumably Boris mentioned at this time that he must have something about plant medicines and ointments.
He was right.
Boris said that after several years of painstaking research, Chebman finally produced an effective treatment for cough, fever, abdominal pain and other related drugs.
In addition, he also developed a special ointment for the treatment of the anus.
Xia Zuoyi almost choked on his saliva.
anus? Is it a ointment for hemorrhoids
He asked suspiciously.
Boris didn't find it difficult to speak, so he explained in detail the symptoms of the ointment treatment, blood in the stool, pain, restlessness...
It is indeed a reaction to having hemorrhoids.
Xia Zuoyi couldn't help but sigh: "Chibman is worthy of being a master alchemist."
As a lord, he can't always study potions, etc. There are so many things that he needs to deal with, and it is inevitable that progress in potions and ointments will be slow.
Boris leaned back on the chair and tapped on the table with one hand. Hearing this, he sneered: "It is undeniable that Chebman is indeed very talented."
"But look at what kind of ointment he has researched. Except for this ointment for treating anus, all the other medicaments collide with what you have researched. I don't believe there is nothing in it."
"If he really has the ability to develop drugs, why didn't he have any achievements in this area before you?"
"Little Zoe, you must know that he is a tens-year-old old man now. He hasn't researched it for decades. Why can he make it now?"
"What's more, I sent someone to investigate. Before that, Chebman ordered people to buy a lot of potions and ointments from the Chamber of Commerce..."
Chebman achieved such results entirely after Xia Zoe's research, and it is self-evident how it came about.
Boris said, "Little Zoe, don't be too optimistic."
"You don't know that Chebman Norton has been recruited by the Ed Chamber of Commerce, and the Ed Chamber of Commerce has now started to sell the same botanical medicines and ointments, and the price is cheaper than ours..."
The Ed Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the San Air Empire.
Although the status cannot be compared with the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, the ability to gain a foothold in an empire and become bigger must not be underestimated.
The most important thing is that the Ed Chamber of Commerce has the support of members of the royal family of the Saint Airo Empire, just like the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce secretly has the support of the royal family of the Anas Empire, and it cannot be easily moved.
And once the same but cheaper drugs appear on the market, the advantages of both the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the Thorns Chamber of Commerce are completely lost.
Unless they start lowering the price of botanical potions and salves too.
But even so, the loss of a lot of gold coins cannot be recovered, and sales will definitely decline in the future.
Xia Zoe was not as annoyed as Boris, the popularization of necessities and research is a normal trend.
Because this is an extremely huge market, even if it only occupies a small market share in it, the profits obtained are considerable.
He was not surprised by such a result as businessmen pursued profits.
Furthermore, he would not deny Chebman Norton's ability.
After all, there must have been countless alchemists who wanted to study the botanical potions and ointments sold in the Chamber of Commerce over the past three years.
However, until now, only Chebman Norton has understood and made it.
Not only that, but he also made an ointment for hemorrhoids.
Chebman Norton's ability is beyond doubt.
Xia Zuoyi thought of this and said to Boris: "I remember Chebman's identity is not low, he is also a noble, and since there is the Ed Chamber of Commerce behind him, the Ed Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Saint Air Empire... "
"Chibman did not choose to research a drug and release it, but chose to research it all and sell it in the Ed Chamber of Commerce at one time, which shows that they have been fully prepared for this."
"We can't touch him now, so there's no need to struggle with this matter to the end."
"I will continue to study botanicals and ointments, medical surgery for trauma, etc., not to mention it is time to add money to other projects."
Boris raised his head when he heard the words, his deep lake green eyes flashed with interest: "What do you want to do?"
Xia Zuoyi: "Do you think the riding clothes I made for you by the tailor look good?"
"nice."
Boris nodded, and quickly understood what he meant: "You want to sell this riding suit?"
Without waiting for Xia Zuoyi to answer, Boris frowned and said, "Little Zoey, I think you should think about it, the method of selling riding equipment is not feasible."
"Only aristocrats can wear riding suits, and as long as you buy this style, take it apart and study it, a tailor with good craftsmanship can sew it..."
He shook his head, this kind of transaction is very uneconomical.
Boris apparently disagreed.
Xia Zuoyi said: "Boris, it's not just riding clothes, how can there be only one kind of clothes I want to launch."
"I plan to take two routes, one is advanced customization, and the other is affordable and accessible to the people."
"Haute couture is mainly aimed at the nobles, while affordable and affordable clothing is aimed at some small estate owners, all commoners and slaves..."
Boris knew that Xia Zoe must have his own thoughts, so he listened to him quietly.
"The focus of haute couture clothing is on design, and the price is definitely not cheap. Let's leave this aside for now."
"We first talk about affordable and affordable clothing, and the focus is on women's clothing..."
In this era, the nobles have the conditions to dress themselves very gorgeously, but the style and style of the clothes are very monotonous, monotonous to the point of even ugly.
For example, the riding outfit that Xia Zoey despised, otherwise he would not have thought of improving it.
And the small estate owners, poor commoners or slaves who have no extra money have no conditions to choose luxury clothes and so on.
Especially the commoners and slaves, they still have to live on a full stomach, with food, clothing, housing, clothing, food, and a place to live. How can they think of dressing themselves up
The colors of their clothes are mostly black, gray and white, with no decoration and no features.
Some garments are even a simple robe with three extra holes for the head and arms to pass through.
The market for women's clothing is unimaginably huge.
Women are naturally beautiful. If there is a new and beautiful clothing with a lower price, which woman can withstand the temptation
Since so many clothing design books have been exchanged, the reputation value cannot be left in vain.
These books are professional books for designers to learn, and many trend-setting styles that have appeared in the past are broken down by examples, which can allow designers to learn and inspire creative inspiration.
Zoe Xia is not a designer.
But he has a normal understanding of beauty, and he has also watched catwalk programs in modern times. The aesthetics has always been online. It is still possible to pull out the backward fashion designs on the western continent. Maybe a lot of designers will emerge in the future. .
- Designers are tailors.
He felt that this was very true.
Xia Zoe told Boris what she thought.
As the leader of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, Boris naturally has a keen business intuition. He could perceive the huge business opportunities contained in it, so he asked about cooperation.
Xia Zoe: "First of all, I need the dyeing process of Anas Empire, Boris, you must give me this process for free."
