Chapter 228: Old treacherous and cunning
During this time, Duanmushi lived a life that the gods would envy every day.
Every morning, I wake up laughing in my dreams, waking up counting gold coins, counting my hands cramps, and suffering and happiness coexist.
The popularity of the anti-heaven pill gradually began to fade, and the price was also reduced day by day to promote.
However, the Blue Star Brand Soul Gathering Pill sold in the Treasure Pavilion was selling more and more vigorously day by day, and it was sold out of stock many times at the beginning.
After many improvements, the production line of Soul Gathering Pill is now the fifth version, and the quality of the Soul Gathering Pill produced has not only been greatly improved, more than eighty percent of them are three-grade pills, and the Dan rate has increased by more than 50%.
Twelve hours a day, five production lines at the same time for alchemy, all of them are just enough to meet the needs of Yangzhou City. It can be seen that looking at the entire Sealing Continent, the demand for Gathering Soul Pills is terrifying.
Since the price of herbs was raised in the first half of the month, the pills in the various pharmacies in Yangzhou City were all rising, and the Soul Gathering Pill naturally rose from the original one gold coin to ten gold coins, and the price increased nearly ten times.
Soul pills have always been priceless, especially the more advanced the soul pills, many times it is difficult to buy the pills you need even if you have gold coins.
Therefore, in this environment, as soon as Yun Tianye's Soul Gathering Pill was listed, in less than an hour, 10,000 Soul Gathering Pills had been snapped up.
The same was true of the 20,000 the next day, which were sold out as soon as they were put on the table.
On the third day, in order to avoid the situation of the first two days, Duanmu Stone had to use a limited number of sales, and each person could only buy 100 pieces at a time, and it was stipulated that the same person could not buy it again on the same day. Even so, the 30,000 Soul Gathering Pills on the third day were sold out in one morning.
The demand for the Soul Gathering Pill was far beyond Duanmu Shi's imagination, and seeing that there were a large number of people blocking the door every day in the Treasure Pavilion because they didn't buy the Soul Gathering Pill, Duanmu Shi was both excited and distressed. The only thing Duanmu Shi could do was to go to Yunjiazhuang and urge Yun Tianye to increase the production line, and everyone gathered the Soul Pill to produce.
Five is not enough, so hurry up to ten, fifty!
As a result, Yan Miao was so tired that she shouted several times to strike, and in the end, it was Yun Tianye who took out Yan Miao's killer feature to appease her.
In terms of the raw materials of alchemy, with the 'generous support' of Ji's Villa, the price is nearly one percent cheaper than the direct purchase on the market, so the profits obtained make Yun Tianye and Duanmu Shi excited, and even the sales of the anti-heaven pill are not as keen as before.
While Duanmu Shi and Yun Tianye were busy producing and selling the Soul Gathering Pill, Ji's Villa, which had just gradually recovered from the recent 'pill rush turmoil', also began to make moves at this time.
As Duanmu Shi inferred, suffering from boredom is definitely not in line with Ji Chenghai's character.
Ji Ping, who had just fallen not long ago, was also 10,000 unwilling, and was waiting for the opportunity to give Yun Tianye a fatal counterattack.
When the Treasure Pavilion began to sell Soul Gathering Pills in large quantities, Ji Ping's first reaction was that the opportunity he had been waiting for was coming!
But this time Ji Ping has learned to be smart, he has suffered a loss and grown wise, and this time he will no longer rush to the front stupidly. These elders are more cunning than the other, and if you rush forward, they will not hold you back, and maybe they will help you. If you make a meritorious service, they will have a share of the credit. If it fails, then all the blame is the fault of the person who rushed to the front.
These are the experiences that Ji Ping has exchanged for the lessons of blood, so this time he decided to rather say more than do more, and do more wrong.
When the first day of the Treasure Pavilion was denitrified by buying 10,000 Soul Gathering Pills, all the core personnel of Ji's Villa gathered again for a meeting, mainly to discuss the fact that the Treasure Pavilion was selling Soul Gathering Pills in large quantities.
The source of this batch of Soul Gathering Pills is actually not a secret to the people in Ji's Villa. Most of the herbs in Yunjiazhuang were purchased from Ji's Villa, and the pill recipe of the Soul Gathering Pill was not a secret, and it was naturally easy to deduce the origin of the recent batch of Soul Gathering Pills from Yunjiazhuang when they purchased a large number of herbs from Yunjiazhuang. Except for Yunjiazhuang, there is nothing suspicious anymore.
It was not strange for Yunjiazhuang to buy herbs to refine the Soul Gathering Pill, and no one would care about this. It's just that the amount of pills produced in Yunjiazhuang is too surprising, although the Soul Gathering Pill is a low-level pill, and it is a simpler pill among the many soul pills. But this is 10,000 Soul Gathering Pills, but how many alchemists do you need to refine them?
In addition to planting herbs, Ji's Villa also has a large number of alchemists, and pills are the real profitable business. Cow Bar Literature Network
Therefore, they also knew very well in their hearts how much manpower and material resources needed to be invested in 10,000 Soul Gathering Pills, and under normal circumstances, a qualified alchemist would be able to refine about five to eight furnaces a day. Because the Soul Gathering Pill is a low-grade pill, the pill production rate is higher, the furnace can usually produce twenty to thirty pills, and the high-level alchemist can produce more than fifty pills in one furnace. However, the cost of asking a high-level alchemist to refine the Soul Gathering Pill is too high, and usually no one would do this.
With just thirty Soul Gathering Pills in one furnace, an alchemist can refine up to two hundred and forty Soul Gathering Pills in a day. Then to refine 10,000 Soul Gathering Pills, it would take more than forty alchemists to do their best to refine them for a whole day to complete.
Now the question is, how could there be so many alchemists in Yunjiazhuang? Even in Ji's Villa, counting the alchemy apprentices, all the alchemists of high and low level were only fifty or sixty. According to the news obtained by Ji Ping, the alchemist of Yunjiazhuang is only the old guy Zihuo Zhenren, even if Zihuo Zhenren has ten doppelgangers, he will definitely not be able to complete it.
After nearly an hour of discussion, everyone's opinions were basically unanimous. Yunjiazhuang was able to take out tens of thousands of Soul Gathering Pills for sale, and there was only one reason, it may be that Yunjiazhuang began to accumulate a long time ago, and only now that the price has increased, they will take it out and sell it.
And now everyone's main disagreement is whether they should sell the Soul Gathering Pill at a lower price and raise the price with Yunjiazhuang, or buy a large number of Soul Gathering Pills from Yunjiazhuang, and then increase the market price of the Soul Gathering Pill, so that Ji's Villa can make a profit from it.
Fight a price war, and the result is a lose-lose situation. The financial resources of Ji's Villa, with this trick of hurting people, were very easy to use in the past, and many forces that once wanted to challenge the authority of Ji's Villa were quickly beaten back to their original form.
Buying the Soul Gathering Pill and taking the opportunity to resell it to make a big profit, this trick looks like there is no profit or loss, but it is only defending and not attacking, and it can't hurt Yunjiazhuang, which makes many people satisfied.
"Patriarch, it's better for you to make up your mind, whether it's buying or selling, I support your decision!" Ji Chengle saw everyone discuss and discuss, and in the end, they were still five or five points on these two choices, and no one could convince anyone, so he handed over the choice of this issue to Ji Chenghai.
And Ji Ping, who would rather say more than do more after making up his mind on the side, looked at Ji Chengle and scolded in his heart: This old guy really has a hand in slapping sycophants.
"Yes, patriarch, you can decide!" Ji Chengsheng, who was standing opposite Ji Chengle, also looked at Ji Chenghai, and he also knew very well that everyone would not come up with results even if they discussed it for another day. And Ji Chenghai, who has been silent, maybe he already has an idea in his heart, so no matter how intense the discussion is, there is no point.
"Ah Ping, what do you think? Do you think it's better to buy? or sell? Ignore other people's opinions, just your own feelings. Ji Chenghai did not directly answer the words of Ji Chengle and Ji Chengsheng, but looked at Ji Ping, who rarely spoke today.
Ji Chenghai knew that the last incident hit Ji Ping very hard. Since then, Ji Ping's great changes have been seen in Ji Chenghai's eyes. At this meeting, he was no longer as proud as before, but a little more cautious, which made Ji Chenghai secretly satisfied.
Men usually pay the price for growth, and this blow may not be a bad thing for Ji Ping.
"I, patriarch, I personally prefer to buy. My reasons are twofold: first, according to the market price for many years, the price of pills usually rises and falls slowly. If we forcibly lower the price, it is very likely to backfire, because the Soul Gathering Pill is different from other pills, its market demand is huge, and some people even store the Soul Gathering Pill as a gold coin. The second point is also what the Eighth Grandfather and other elders said before, as long as we take most of the Soul Gathering Pills in Yunjiazhuang, then the bargaining power of the Soul Gathering Pills will fall on our side, and we can reverse a sum from it at that time. As for fighting back against Yunjiazhuang, I personally think that Yunjiazhuang is just a small village, and there is no need for us to give up the interests of our villa for it. Pack up a Yunjiazhuang, and we will have opportunities in the future. Ping didn't expect Ji Chenghai to ask him in front of so many elders, and he was very excited, it turned out that the patriarch hadn't given up on me yet.
Fortunately, when Ji Ping was arguing endlessly, he synthesized the opinions of both sides, combined with his own analysis, and already had a conclusion in his mind.
"Well, that's right! It seems that Ah Ping is now a lot more mature, and in the face of grievances and interests, you have begun to know how to make trade-offs, very good! Then so be it! This matter will be handed over to Ah Ping to carry out, and other people or I will cooperate with Ah Ping on the side. If you don't have anything to do, that's the end of today's discussion. Ji Chenghai listened to Ji Ping's words and nodded with satisfaction.
Ji Ping's spirit was shocked, and he felt the envious eyes of many of his peers who were listening, and his heart was ecstatic. Finally, it's time to show your ability, as long as you succeed this time, then it will be equivalent to stepping into the throne of the patriarch with half a foot.
After the meeting dispersed, Ji Ping returned to his room, and after the excitement passed, for some reason, he suddenly began to suffer some gains and losses.
If it succeeds, this is of course gratifying. But what if this time fails again, will everyone put all the blame on me again?
Spicy next door!
Ji Ping couldn't help but curse, and found that he seemed to have rushed to the front again unconsciously.
These old treacherous and cunning, I only guard against others, but I forgot the patriarch, he is the real old treacherous and cunning!
Forget it, wealth and wealth are in danger, this time Young Master Ben will not believe it and will not succeed!
After Ji Ping finished scolding, he also clearly knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and it was useless to regret it, so he could only hope that the Soul Gathering Pill he bought would not make any mistakes.
According to Ji Ping's analysis, even if it is a loss, Ji's Villa will not lose too much, and even a steady profit and no loss transaction, there is nothing to worry about.
