At the call of the communication, it was not long before the crowd gathered around the machine in the mud, surrounding the street, and Freya watched with interest in her hands, wondering how Mavi planned to end the scene.

"You're asking Felix to attract people to the potion, I'm afraid it's to advertise the potion," Freya said.

"I've been thinking.... What is the potion for? Without answering Freya's question directly, Ma Wei took out a bottle of translucent liquid with strange blue ripples from his bosom, and said to himself: "After careful blending, the potion has great hidden power. ”

"The ancients discovered the magic of potions, researched formulas, and passed them on to future generations, is the purpose just to collect money?"

"I think that potions are also a discipline of science, and at the beginning of the establishment of any discipline, its purpose is to benefit mankind, potions.... It's no exception. ”

Freya glanced at the glass bottle in Mavi's hand, "Hercules' club... The legendary Hercules, the wooden stick obtained from the felling of trees in the Nemea Forest, is an embodiment of her divine power, symbolizing her astonishing power that even the frost giants of the Far North cannot compete with..."

"That's right, Hercules, the legendary being, the club she got from the Nemea Forest, is not her weapon, it doesn't mean killing..."

Gently shaking the glass bottle, staring at the blue ripples of translucent liquid to wash back and forth, Ma Wei muttered, "Those who drink it will gain unparalleled strength in a short period of time, and it is not a best-selling at all, and the nobles prefer lethargic toast and mercury blood capable of subduing transcendent beings." ”

"Now I finally understand that Hercules' club, from the beginning, was not intended for the upper class, it was a potion developed by the sages for the common people, and I put it on the expensive shelves, tarnishing the meaning it carried."

The potion that the nobles disdained was a good thing for the commoners, and Mavi found that he had priced Hercules' sticks too high, 3 gold pounds per bottle, which was beyond the reach of most people.

And the big men who can pay the price of 3 gold pounds will not take Hercules's stick to do what they see as a lowly job.

"Steven."

Mavi called out to Jacob and tossed him the vial, "Show everyone the power of potions." ”

Without any hesitation, Jacob took the glass bottle, uncorked it, and drank the eerie lustrous liquid with his head up, and the finger-sized glass bottle quickly bottomed out, less than a mouthful.

Drinking Hercules' stick, Jacob's body trembled slightly, the crackling sound of his muscles and bones erupted from his body, and his arms thickened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his body began to rise in height, swelling like an inflated balloon.

'Stabbing', the white shirt cracked, leaving only the flexible sweater to support it, in front of everyone's eyes, Jacob, who was not tall, became a little giant with a height of more than 2.5 meters, the bulging muscles and green tendons were exposed, full of explosive beauty.

"It's... What kind of monster is this?! ”

The crowd of onlookers began to boil, and their eyes were full of fear as they looked at Jacob.

Jacob didn't pay attention to the consternation around him, knowing the task given to him by Ma Wei, he moved his body, raised his feet and walked to the machine that was difficult for more than a dozen people to move, bent down and grabbed the protrusion, and with a slight force, the machine that was originally stuck in the mud and couldn't move was lifted!

The workers looked at Jacob blankly, they had just used their strength to lift the corner of the machine, and Jacob, who had taken the potion, easily did what they could not have imagined!

What a strange force!

I don't know how many pounds of the machine were made of plastic in Jacob's hands, and after weighing it, it seemed that it was too light, and Jacob simply held the machine with only one hand, and swaggered towards the factory, where the crowd avoided it.

The exclamations came one after another, and the onlookers were amazed by Jacob's strange power, and seized the opportunity, Mavi said loudly to the crowd: "What was just shown is the potion produced by our Manstein Potions Company - Hercules's club, those who take it, can gain great strength in a short time, it is very suitable for workers with a lot of labor, our Manstein Potions Company is on sale, the original price of 10 pence a bottle of potion is now only sold for 5 pence!" Three days only! ”

"10 pence?" The communication's ears curled: "Big brother, isn't Hercules' stick priced at 3 gold pounds per bottle?" ”

"That's the price it used to be."

Looking at the moving crowd, Ma Wei said with a smile: "The potion is also positioned, of course the noble lord will not carry the goods, and for the laborers who carry the goods, Hercules's stick is simply suitable, as for the price, counting the freight, it is already very close to the cost price, although the profit per bottle is not much, but we must take into account the consumption power of the audience.... Small profits but quick turnover. ”

The communication understood, and Daniel also understood, but Daniel frowned tightly, and said with a worried face: "Big brother, Hercules' stick can provide considerable strength to the user in a short period of time, and the price is also low, which is a good thing for the laborers, but in the long run, will the appearance of Hercules's stick have an impact on the machinery manufacturing industry?" ”

"That's right!" The communication also came back to his heart: "Factories are all powered by steam engines, and if Hercules' sticks can replace machinery, won't the machinery industry stop moving?" ”

"Well, you're thinking about it all." "But you have overlooked one thing, although Hercules' stick is cheap, it is compared to the price of other potions, after three days of the promotion period, the price will rise to 10 pence a bottle, this price, will not have an impact on the machinery manufacturing industry." ”

Freya also opened her mouth to explain for Mavi: "Hercules' stick can only last for a short time, no more than 1 hour, that is, the cost of use is 10 pence per hour, which is not counting the cost of time and the cost of physical recuperation after use.... In general, the cost of machinery is much lower than the cost of Hercules' sticks under the premise of transporting goods of the same weight. ”

"Hercules' sticks are different from machinery, Hercules' sticks are more flexible, such as moving, maintenance, disaster relief and other situations that require flexible strength, Hercules's sticks can come in handy, and on weekdays, it is cheaper to use machinery." Ma Wei said.

"If that's the case, then I have nothing to worry about."

Daniel's hanging heart relaxed, he has been in contact with the government affairs of the kingdom since he was a child, and William V has always trained him as a successor, making him very sensitive to smell in some aspects, he knows the future development potential of machinery, and does not want to destroy the industrial chain that has been perfected after years of accumulation because of the appearance of potions.

In his eyes, industry and potions are equally important, and one cannot be left unbalanced between the two.

"Potions are aimed at people, while machines liberate humans, and there is no conflict between the two."

Back at the factory, Mavi looked at the workers who were assembling the machinery and said, "When the production line is commissioned, the first thing to do is to produce Hercules' sticks, I have a hunch that in the next few days, Hercules' sticks may become the best-selling product of Manstein's potions, and its sales must be huge." ”

"Do we have enough materials?" The source counted the inventory: "Among the materials shipped in the last batch, there are not many raw materials for Hercules sticks, I am afraid that only a dozen gallons can be made, and they can be replaced with 1 ounce glass bottles, and a maximum of 2,000 bottles can be produced...."

"It's enough for the time being, the raw materials for Hercules' sticks are not difficult to obtain, except for the main material Hennan Flower, all materials can be obtained through the Church Channel, and one Henan Flower is enough to produce 1 gallon of potions, and only a few boxes can ensure the supply of the market."

"I recommend not releasing too many potions at once." Freya suddenly said: "The workers who have tasted the sweetness will definitely rush to buy Hercules' sticks, if we only release 100 bottles in the beginning, then about 30 bottles will go to the black market and scalpers, and the price will slowly be inflated..."

"Freya, if I'm going to sell for a high price, why do I have a promotion?"

"I mean, if Hercules' sticks appear in large numbers on the market, it will inevitably upset the balance of the current market!" Freya said righteously: "According to today's market, the daily wage of an ordinary laborer is 4 pence, and the laborer who takes the Hecules stick can top a dozen people!" For a boss in need, why didn't he just pay the price of a 10p for a Hercules stick and hire only one labourer? ”

"If the price of Hercules sticks is not properly raised, then the emergence of cheap potions will definitely have a great impact on the labor market at the bottom! We have to find a balance in order to maintain the market! ”

Freya said quickly: "In the early stage, in order to make a reputation, there is no problem with the price reduction strategy you adopted, which can make cheap potions popular in London in a short period of time, but if the market is destroyed, there will be many laborers who lose their jobs and cannot support their families, what should they do?" ”

Freya's opinion impressed Ma Wei, and after muttering, he discovered the shortcomings of his strategy: "You are right, in terms of potion pricing, I am too reckless, in the current situation of insufficient jobs or even scarce and single, I must not destroy the market balance, otherwise it will cause a chain reaction..."

On the issue of potion pricing, Dino had already given Ma Wei precise guidance, and the price of a bottle of 50 gold pounds of mercury blood was set by Dino, including Hercules' stick, and Dino also took into account many factors.

Perhaps, he gave a price of 3 gold pounds a bottle, just because he didn't want cheap potions to hit the market too early, causing a large number of low-level people to lose their jobs and causing the economy to be hit hard....

Between the use of manpower and potions, there is a balance, and only by finding the balance can we ensure that the appearance of the Hercules stick will change people's lives and not leave many people unemployed and in an economic crisis.

During the orderly installation of the machine, an hour passed, and Jacob, who had been taking the potion, suddenly returned to his original state like a deflated balloon, and his clothes were in tatters, as if he had been squeezed dry, and he sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.

】

"Steven, are you alright?" Noticing Jacob's strange appearance, Mavi borrowed two pieces of chocolate from the snack box that Yunia was carrying with him and handed them to him: "Hercules' stick has side effects, and after the effect declines, the user will enter a period of fatigue and need to replenish energy quickly.... Here, eat some chocolate. ”

Jacob raised his arm with difficulty, took the chocolate and put it in his mouth and bit it, he felt dizzy, he could faint at any time, ate the chocolate, and slowed down on the ground for a while before feeling some strength, but he still had no strength to speak: "Boss, my body seems to be emptied, I can't use any strength, this potion won't cause any harm to the body, right?" ”

"Hercules' stick is a potion that overdraws physical strength to obtain explosive strength, as long as you replenish your energy in time and rest well, you can completely recover."

"What if there is the blessing of the realm of eternal life?" Jacob asked, "Isn't the realm of immortality healing injuries?" ”

"Strictly speaking, Hercules' stick does not cause injuries, the reason why the user feels dizzy and collapsed, is that it greatly consumes the energy in the user's body, the realm of immortality.... I'm afraid it won't be useful in this regard. ”

Muscle soreness, muscle congestion and swelling after exercise are still within the scope of treatment in the field of immortality, but it cannot replenish the energy lost by the human body, when the war was launched, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Windsor were able to march day and night, because of the blessing of the field of immortality, constantly repairing tired muscles, and at the same time, the continuous logistics supply line of the Kingdom of Windsor is also one of the reasons why soldiers will not fall.

That being said, the Immortal Realm is not useless, at least after using Hercules' stick, people can use the Immortal Realm to repair their bodies, then eat a lot of food to replenish their energy, and wake up the next day, basically back to their original state.

Taking these factors into account, the base cost of taking Hercules' sticks increases again.

How to set the price, Ma Wei has to go back and think about it, he is going to ask Dino in the evening, as the treasurer of the church, Dino is far more accomplished in this area than him.

After eating two large pieces of chocolate and devouring a few pieces of bread, Jacob finally got up from the ground, trembling and holding the box, his dizzy mind gradually cleared up, and began to continue to direct the workers, with the help of the engineers of the construction plant to assemble the machine.

It was busy until the evening, a production line was barely built, the workers filled the steam boiler with coal, cold water, began to heat, soon, the boiling hot water rose boiling steam, pushed the heavy piston, output a large amount of mechanical force, the pointer on the hydraulic gauge rose rapidly, accompanied by a roar....

A production line tens of meters long began to operate slowly.
