Chapter 121: Counterfeit Medicine
"Do some business?"
"Yes, isn't your brother trying to buy out Master Sharoman's finished potion?"
"What? Do you have a solution?"
"No, I have a more profitable way. ”
"What's the solution?" Luna was intrigued.
"Ever since I arrived in the Principality of Ukulele, I've been thinking about why Middle-earth's largest magical herb base doesn't produce finished potions. ”
"Why don't you produce? Master Shaloman alone has the blessings of twenty tribes of Paicui flowing into the market every year. ”
"I'm talking about the ordinary potions. ”
"There's no need, most magicians configure it themselves. ”
"Herbs are not easy to transport, they can be worn out due to the weather, the level of pharmacy varies from place to place, and their time is precious. ”
"However, these ordinary potions will not be very profitable. ”
"Not necessarily......" Donner dragged a long voice, deliberately hanging the other party's appetite: "I have a way, I can make you much more money than your brother, but I want thirty percent of the profit, you think about it, and give me an answer tomorrow." ”
“...... Why should I believe you?"
Donner turned and walked in the direction of his carriage, leaving Luna with her back.
"It's up to you to look at me. ”
......
On the horse-drawn carriage on the return trip.
Donner was so upset by Ricke's stare that he simply closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Do you have a crush on someone?" the girl asked suddenly.
Donner's eyes opened a slit, glanced at her and closed again, not speaking.
"And you're going to take advantage of her?"
"Don't say it so badly," Donner finally opened his eyes and replied, "doing business, of course, is to make money." ”
"Earn money to study pharmacy? That's what you're talking about?"
"Magic potions are the fastest way to increase your strength. ”
......
Next. Master Shaloman's class finally began, and Donner deliberately chose a place in the far corner, so as not to be drawn by him to answer the questions.
After returning from the banquet last night, he had taken the notes from Seleone to preview.
The process of configuring the "Blessing of Paicui" is extremely complex, and among the 137 materials, there are more than 30 kinds of solvents alone. The purification method involves filtration, extraction, distillation, precipitation and crystallization, and some steps also require the intermediate substances in the chemical reaction, which must be controlled to the exact minute.
On Seleon's notebook, there are four question marks, and two of them are similar to this "heat" control. The other two are liquid suspensions that require very close density, properties, and particle sizes, and Master Shaloman offers three methods, but all of them are extremely demanding to operate.
With this notebook, and the basic knowledge of chemistry experiments in his previous life, Donner finally stuck with another morning.
After class. Luna approached Donner, and after a night of deliberation, she agreed to the suggestion. In her opinion, if you succeed, you don't need to marry, and if you fail, you will lose some wealth at most, and the relationship between the two is clear at a glance.
Donner takes her back to Bell Manor, taking advantage of lunchtime. Discuss the plan.
"Tell me first, the biggest magic potion to use. What are they?" Donner asked, picking up a piece of veal and pausing to his lips, this doesn't look "aristocratic", but now is not the time to think about it, and Luna doesn't care about it either.
"Primary healing potion. Do stamina potions, mental power recovery potions, and poisons count?"
"Poison doesn't count...... Ruiko, go get the notes. Naturally, he used the half-elf girl as a secretary, and the latter didn't mind at all. On the contrary, I was happy.
"These three are enough, with your financial resources, if you produce it on a large scale, how many standard servings can you produce each month?" he continued.
"I can gather local pharmacists, so a few hundred of each will be fine. ”
"It's only a few hundred...... By the way, can primary healing potions be used externally?"
"Absolutely. Luna gave Donald a suspicious look, wondering how the other party didn't even know about this.
"That's good, let's look at the packaging and promotional strategy later, and you start to implement production every day"
"Packaging and publicity?"
"Yes, give a nice name, use the most beautiful packaging, print the original logo of Persson's product, and give Master Shaloman a sum of money to endorse the product. ”
"Endorsement?" Luna was confused, not only her, but also Rickle, who didn't understand the meaning of the word.
"It is to use the image of the master to increase the added value of the product. ”
"Let's put it this way," Donner saw that the two girls were still at a loss, and decided to be more direct: "It is to draw the master's signature on the packaging of each product, and if necessary, let the master attend the product launch...... Well, it's a business banquet. ”
"How much are you going to sell each potion?" Luna asked coldly, understanding what Donner meant.
"At least 30% more expensive than the market price. ”
"Hmph, the packaging should be exquisite, and you have to give Master Sharoman money, even if it is fifty percent more expensive, you may not be able to make money. Luna picked up the napkin and wiped the corners of her mouth, in fact, she didn't eat a mouthful, just telling the other person that she was leaving.
"You don't know how much Master Shaloman costs?" Rikko interjected.
"Do you think the Master is you, and you can send it away with a little money?" Luna scolded.
"Are you listening to me?" Donner raised his voice, interrupting the argument between the two, "I haven't talked about the money yet." ”
Luna sneered and leaned back in her chair, as if she didn't trust Donner much.
"These three finished medicines, no matter how much they are produced, only half of them are sold, and the other half is diluted ten times with water and then packaged separately, which can only be done by the people closest to them. ”
"You're selling counterfeit medicine?" Reicor exclaimed first.
The expression on Luna's face became even more ugly, and she looked into Donner's eyes as if she could kill someone.
"Diluted potions, of course, can't be sold as ordinary potions. Donner explained this, and the expressions of the two girls eased slightly, but his next sentence made the two completely messy, "It has to be sold three times more expensive than ordinary potions." ”
"What do you mean?" Luna asked, this is no longer a problem of selling counterfeit drugs, it is simply a fool to take the buyer.
"For those aristocratic ordinary people, don't you think they should be sold more expensive, such as beauty potions that keep their youth forever, great power potions that restore their vigor, and refreshing potions that enhance their brain power?" ”
The anger on Luna's face fades away, replaced by a strange smile.
"You liar! I said you weren't a good person!" the half-elf girl's tone was less like a scolding than a compliment. (To be continued.) )
