December 30, 9 a.m.

After a windy day, the fog covered London again, the sun became dull again, and the gray leaden sky glowed with hollow white light, like incandescent cannons covered by white gauze.

The inhabitants of London had long been accustomed to the strange weather, and they went about their day as usual, and Woolf, the owner of the Dirty Duck Tavern, got up early, and it was time for him to buy goods again.

In the last month, the tavern has done very well, thanks to the three Manstein brothers, who often invite workers to drink, obviously foreigners, who have just arrived in London for more than a month, according to common sense, they should not be welcomed in the eyes of xenophobic Londoners, but their popularity has risen, and they have been welcomed by the residents of Flower Street....

Woolf felt that the fact that the three Manstein brothers were able to gain a foothold in Flower Street so quickly was inevitably related to their royal background, which was a big shot, and a big man who was willing to respect the common people was the key to their capture of people's hearts.

You can be noble, but you are approachable, how can this style of behavior be annoying?

What's more, the three Manstein brothers are also very generous, thanks to them, the turnover of the Dirty Duck Tavern has increased by more than half in the past month!

Woolf sincerely hopes that the three Manstein brothers can live in Flower Street for a few more days, and it will be better if they don't leave....

The winery's wagon arrived at the back door of the Dirty Duck Tavern on time, and the coachman shouted upstairs, and Woolf poked his head out of the window in response, yawning and going downstairs, and just as he reached the first floor, he suddenly stopped.

Through the tavern window, he saw that the renovated shop across the street was open, and a large sign hung above the door, which read "Manstein Potions Grocery Store", which was very strange, especially the word 'potions'.

The source walked out of the store, carrying a small vertical blackboard on his shoulder, and stood at the door, conjuring a piece of chalk out of nowhere, and bending down to write on the small blackboard:

[Today's limited potion: Mercury blood, which will make you unable to extricate yourself from the beauty of vertigo, priced at 50 gold pounds per ounce, limited to 3 copies.] 】

[Mrs. Mel's Sleepy Toast, which makes you experience the soft taste of floating on the clouds, is priced at 10 gold pounds/pound, limited to 10 servings. 】

[Hercules's stick, drink it to become infinitely powerful, just one sip, let you have explosive aesthetic muscles, shine at the banquet, priced at 3 gold pounds / bottle, limited to 20 servings. ] 】

After writing this, the communication casually turned the wooden board hanging on the door of the store to the 'open' side, humming a song and planning to return to the store.

Seeing this scene, Woolf didn't care about unloading, and hurriedly ran out of the tavern and shouted, "Mr. Felix!" ”

The communication turned around, smiled, and said, "It's Mr. Woolf, may I ask what is the matter?" ”

"You... Are you open for business? ”

"That's right, the goods arrived yesterday, and the eldest brother said that it will start business today, and the New Year will be coming soon, and if it doesn't open, it will have to wait until next year."

"Oh oh oh...."Woolf nodded, her eyes glancing at the small blackboard on the side, and asked hesitantly, "Potions... What is it? ”

"Potions that can give people special powers require precious materials to make them, so they are expensive." The communication guessed what Woolf wanted to ask next, and answered in advance.

Such an expensive thing ....

Will anyone really buy it?

Woolf stared at the prices of 50, 10, and 3 gold pounds on the small blackboard, and thought that the three Manstein brothers were whimsical.

It's cheaper than cocaine!

Especially the last potion named 'Hercules' Stick', which can become infinitely powerful when drunk, but what is the use of infinity? If you want to move goods, it would be nice to hire a few more workers! It definitely won't cost 3 gold pounds, so you can save a lot of money!

Embarrassed to question in person, Woolf returned to the Dirty Duck Tavern, and after directing the workers to unload the goods, he did not go back to his room to sleep, but hid in the shop, secretly observing the Potions grocery store opposite.

He didn't believe that something so expensive could be sold!

There were a lot of people passing by Flower Street, one after another, the sign of Manstein's potions grocery store caught their attention, almost every passerby would stop to look at the small blackboard, they were still a little interested, after seeing the price at the rear, they immediately left, not wanting to take another look.

Until noon, not a single guest was willing to set foot in the Manstein Potions grocery store, and the bell hanging on the door never rang.

Three hours after the store was opened, no one cared for it, which is not a good sign.

Inside, the communication was wandering around the door, looking extremely anxious, Mavi was sitting on a recliner behind the counter, the old god was reading today's Times Morning Post, and Unia was playing chess with Daniel, betting on a small snack for dinner.

"Big brother."

After a while, the communication couldn't stand anymore, walked to the counter and said, "Isn't our price a little too expensive?" East London is a slum, and high-priced stuff is sure to be unwanted! If you want to open the market, you should make small profits but quick turnover! ”

"Communication, when it comes to business, you still have to learn from Dino." Ma Wei flipped through the newspaper, and the corner of his eyes did not leave the message: "To do business, it depends on the positioning of goods, our target is the high-end market, the upper class where the aristocracy and gentry belong, and these ordinary residents are not the target audience of the store." ”

"But it's not profitable! If you don't make money, how can you open the potions market in London? ”

"First of all, the cost of raw materials for potions determines that the price of potions cannot be excessively low." Ma Wei put down the newspaper and explained seriously: "Before the establishment of the large-scale herbal medicine breeding industry, the price of potions must have been high, which determined that the initial potions industry was expensive, and could only serve the middle and upper classes. ”

"Secondly, haven't you noticed that some hallucinogenic potions are priced higher than others? The high price is to avoid ordinary people, lest they go bankrupt to buy hallucinogenic potions.... A low-grade, easy-to-make, and side-effect potion like Hercules' stick is already very cheap for ordinary people to afford through gritted teeth. ”

"Big brother is right."

Daniel gently put down the queen's chess piece, took Yunia's knight chess piece, put it outside the chessboard, and looked up at the source: "We can't be in a hurry, and we don't need to be in a hurry, sooner or later the guests will come to the door." ”

"I mean, are we going to do some publicity?" The communication proposed: "No one knows that we will open for business today, and those high-class people will not come to take care of our business if they don't get the news.....

"The real upper-class people rarely watch advertisements, they are all introduced at banquets." Daniel lowered his head, Yunia had already made a move, and it was his turn again: "So, we should strengthen our reputation and let those upper-class people spontaneously promote us, instead of advertising..... Hey? Where's my Queen? What about a queen I'm that big? ”

Yunia's eyes swept to the side, and her little hand was behind her back: "Yunia doesn't know...."

The corners of Daniel's mouth twitched, and he was about to speak, when suddenly there was a rolling sound of wheels outside the door, and a royal carriage stopped outside the store, the elegant butler pulled the door, and the second prince Shukri, who was dressed in formal clothes, stepped out of the carriage, tidied up his clothes, and pushed the door open.

Jingle Bell –

"Mr. Nicholas!"

Seeing the second prince, Ma Wei was not surprised, but with a surprised look on his face, he got up and walked out of the counter, and said in surprise: "Your Royal Highness the second prince, why are you here?" ”

The second prince Shukri said with a smile: "Of course you are here to cheer you on, you are so out-of-this, you didn't even notify me on such an important day as the first day of opening!" I'd like to be your first guest! ”

"Everyone is a friend, Your Highness, what do you need, just send someone to tell me, why bother to run in person? Yannick, pour the tea! Mavi shouted.

"It's because I'm a friend that I want to come over to cheer you on." The second prince, Shukri, smiled and asked, "How's the business?" ”

"Well, it's not a secret, it's been open for three hours, and you're still the first customer to enter the store."

The second prince Shukri nodded, not surprised at all: "After all, the price of potions is too expensive, and the residents of East London may not be able to afford it, Mr. Nicholas, you shouldn't be greedy to open a shop in East London, but it doesn't matter, business is done slowly.... What's good? Tell me about it, I can't wait! ”

"No problem, please see...."
