Chapter Eighty-Six: Unexpected Sales
The Robertson family was united in their efforts and had considerable expectations for the cause of medicinal herbs. If you have a good product, how can you not make money?
The old lord also repeatedly asked Dai Lan if he could introduce himself to such a master at the right time.
Of course, Dai Lan knew in his heart that Jonad, the old fox, wanted to maximize his interests. A single product line simply couldn't meet his needs. He immediately promised that when it was suitable, he would discuss the research and development of other drugs with that master. Of course, on the premise that the Robertson family pays enough for research and development.
However, Dai Lan's worries gradually became a reality.
As soon as Roche herbs were put on the market, it was like a stone thrown into the calm waters of a lake, stirring up a thousand waves. Gerald's old butler also found a few familiar reporters to report in major newspapers. For a while, every corner of Dundee City knew that there was such a special medicine for trauma.
However, as time passed, the medicinal herb market returned to calm like a lake. The sales of Roche herbs were not sluggish, and there were only a dozen gold louis sales in ten days. According to this kind of billy, the gross profit is less than four hundred gold louis a year.
This is very different from what people expect. What went wrong?
The young man named Hamilton was loyal, resolute, and most rare was that he had a particularly strict mouth. Those who dare not ask never ask, and those who should not say will definitely be lazy to the stomach. Dai Lan admired him very much, and snatched him from James as his deputy. And according to the promise made a few days ago, he was exceptionally promoted to the family's apprentice knight.
Hamilton led five or six knights around, and after a long meeting with Dai Lan, he finally understood what the problem was.
The extremely high cost of raw materials for Roche herbal medicine, coupled with the lack of a stable and large number of drug sales channels for the Robertson family, led to an increase in the cost of sales. The two are added together to make the total cost of each serving of Roche herbs to 3 copper torls.
This forced Gerard, who was in charge of drug sales, to raise the price of a single serving of herbs to one silver kroner, which was the same price as the Jacobs family's high-grade trauma medicine.
Second, the Jacobs are extremely sensitive to the launch of new drugs. At the very beginning, I learned about Roche herbal medicine. After the trial, they were shocked to find that the Robertson family's new product was much stronger than the high-quality trauma medicine they were proud of!
The Jacobs decided to strike first, taking the initiative to reduce the high-grade trauma medicine to 8 copper tors, and at the same time spreading rumors in the major apothecaries they controlled to slander the Roche herbs.
This last point is also extremely important. Dundee City is a small town after all, and although most of the young men who practice martial arts and magic practice are the majority, they are basically children of poor families. How could they be willing to spend a month's food money to buy such a small amount of knife medicine?
This saddened Old Lord Jonad and Steward Gerald. I have the best medicine in my hand, but I can't buy it at a good price, which is really frustrating.
There is only half a month left before the time to repay the money to the Jacob family, and seeing that the family is about to be destroyed, several high-level figures are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but there is no good way.
Dai Lan had just eaten lunch and was about to take a nap when there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
The door creaked, and a beautiful figure walked in.
Emily became more and more emaciated, still with the same resolute, strong stubborn head, but her complexion was much worse, and her face was paler. Even the blue eyes were mixed with a few bloodshots.
Dai Lan felt sad for a while, and said softly: "The eldest lady has been much clearer recently. ”
In front of Emily, Dai Lan never controlled her language, so she mixed a lot of authentic Chinese words with her speech. The eldest lady communicated with him a lot, and she didn't care anymore.
Hearing her comments about herself, Emily lowered her eyelids and sighed, "Thank you so much, Blue Knight, for always thinking of helping our Robertson family." However, this time the family may not be able to hold on. ”
Dai Lan knew of course that she was referring to the arrears.
These days, Dai Lan has also seen the problem of the sale of medicinal herbs, and he has a vague idea in his heart, not knowing whether it is feasible. As the days passed, there was not much time left for him, and at this time it was impossible to estimate all sides.
It just so happened that Emily's arrival gave Dai Lan the last confidence, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Miss, needless to say, I know your difficulties. Come with me, whether it works or not, you'll have to give it a try. ”
"You have a way?!" Tasting the meaning of Dai Lan's words, the eldest lady was overjoyed, covered her mouth and said: "I know that Dai Lan Knight always has a lot of ways!" ”
The young man was expressionless, leaning his hands behind his head and looking through the large floor-to-ceiling windows at the sky garden not far away.
The little waterwheel in the garden kept running, scattering the rain and dew on the colorful flowers. For some reason, those beautiful people can't compare to Emily's plain clothes in front of her.
Dai Lan spread his hands and made a helpless expression, and said, "Call James and Hamilton, let's go to Newell's Pharmacy." ”
Hearing the name of Newell's Pharmacy, the eldest lady was stunned, her willow-like eyebrows raised slightly, and she immediately returned to her calm appearance, and said lightly: "Okay, I'll go change my outfit for going out." ”
The strangeness of the eldest lady, Dai Lan captured it instantly. Although she couldn't figure out the reason, Dai Lan still felt comfortable from the bottom of her heart for her obedience without asking the reason.
When they saw the eldest lady, both James and Hamilton were stunned.
Miss Emily is dressed up a little special today.
The golden hair was pinned back in a bun and held in place with a silver hairpin, but only a strand of green silk hung down. wore a beige woven Chinese cheongsam, revealing her delicate figure, and with the cold characteristics, it looked more fresh and natural. actually stepped on a pair of extremely oriental orchid cloth shoes, but there was no sense of disobedience on her feet.
It is rare to have a little lilac eye makeup between the eyebrows and eyes, and two points of burgundy on the cherry-like lips, the color is bright but not gaudy.
When Dai Lan saw Emily's outfit, her heart fluttered, and she suddenly felt a sense of warmth.
Obviously, deliberately taking care of her emotions, the eldest lady chose a suit that was partial to China.
It turned out that Emily, who had blue eyes under the cheongsam, was so beautiful!
Three men rode horses, and a young man from the East rode gracefully in a carriage, and together they ran towards the most wicked and messy district in the world
