Chapter Ninety-Six: Research

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted.

A pat on the head, a hot head, do things without a plan, unless good luck is in charge, there is a chance of failure.

Link was convinced, and began to draft a research plan.

Generally speaking, there are 9 common methods of research, field observation, interviews, questionnaires, meetings, seeking expert predictions, sampling, typical, statistics, and literature.

This afternoon's step-by-step survey is a kind of on-the-spot observation, and we can obtain direct, vivid, authentic and reliable first-hand information.

However, what is observed is often the superficial phenomenon or external relationship of things, which has a certain degree of chance, and is greatly affected by the subjective factors of the respondents, so it is not suitable for large-sample surveys.

Link must combine several other survey methods to obtain a credible research result and form a well-thought-out research report.

After some thought, Link decided to set the research objects into two categories, one named as the market circulation fragrance, and the other named the special fragrance of each store.

For the fragrance circulating in the market, we can start from the literature survey method and the statistical survey method to get a phased result, and then consider how to refine it;

For the special fragrances of each store, especially the special fragrances of the Rukia family pharmacy, Link is going to hire some people to conduct field observations, typical investigations, etc.

Where are the investigators hired?

XC Zone, of course!

The points are divided like this, but the specific operation can be carried out together.

With that in mind, Link took action.

He first found all the relevant materials that could be found in the Eastern District Library.

Although there are few records of the East End potions, especially fragrances, they are not for nothing.

At least Link knew which authority he could go to and retrieve the import and export records of the goods.

Writing down the useful information one by one, and seeing that it was approaching evening, Link ended his search and went back to the pharmacy to pick up Jasmine from work.

Take the rail train back to the college.

Jasmine hesitated several times before she spoke, "Link, this afternoon, you weren't in the store, and Wizard Ella said something bad about you. ”

"What's the bad thing?"

Link knew that Jasmine didn't like the short and long character of the Taoist behind her, and there must be a reason for talking like this, so he took over the conversation.

She said, she said, ......"

Jasmine pondered her words and said, "She said that you are an extremely cold-blooded person at heart, and you only met Antoine last night. Hilton dies in the ring and then kills Rivers with his own hands. Francis, like a nobody today, seems to be unable to touch your heart. ”

Link was silent.

Wizard Ella's evaluation is very spot and hits the nail on the head.

Even though he was already trying to fit into the wizarding world, Link still had a strong sense of detachment.

It's like playing a virtual game with a strong sense of substitution, with a first-person perspective, all senses are real, and everything seems to be the same as the real world.

However, there is always a voice that reminds players that you are not from this world!

So, for Enrique, who died at his own hands. Bernalis, Harold. Andrews, Rivers. Francis, for Antoine, who died in front of his eyes. Hilton, Link, except for the deep down, the moral level has been turbulent, and the rest doesn't care at all.

As if those were not human lives.

Extremely cold-blooded.

Link thought for a moment, then smiled and said with relief: "The mouth grows on the person herself, and she can say whatever she likes." ”

"But ......"

Jasmine raised her voice, a little anxious, "But Wizard Salia, Wizard Tina, and even Wizard Selene have heard it, and it will affect your impression in their minds." ”

Link laughed, "I don't live for the impression in other people's minds, so I don't have to care about that." ”

In order to divert Jasmine's attention, Link chose to change the subject: "By the way, I went out to investigate this afternoon, and your idea last night really has a little possibility of coming true." ”

"Really?"

Jasmine knew that Link was changing the subject, but she tried her best to cooperate.

She knew that Link didn't want her to dwell on this, so she picked up the conversation and asked, "So what can I do?" ”

Jasmine can do so much in this matter.

Collect literature, organize data, find research materials and R&D directions, carry out R&D, and so on.

Jasmine is already a more qualified assistant, and she still has the potential to be independent.

Back at the academy and filling their stomachs in the cafeteria, Link and Jasmine make a beeline for the library.

Whether it is the books in the library or the materials in the high-level literature library, as long as it is related to fragrance, they are all collected.

Skimming through it roughly, the useful ones are left behind, and the useless ones are discarded.

Following.

Link and Jasmine went to work as usual.

The only difference from the previous two weeks is that Link deliberately recorded the category, effect, price and other information of the women's fragrances sold in the store.

This action was watched by Wizard Creen.

She knew how talented Link was in botany and pharmacy, and immediately understood that Link had another inspiration and direction for research and development.

Without hesitation, Wizard Céreen immediately beckoned Link and asked bluntly, "Are you interested in women's fragrances?" ”

"Yes."

Link replied calmly: "The previous research and development of daylily aromatherapy essential oil was frustrated, and I considered switching to fragrance halfway, and I had a little understanding. Yesterday afternoon, wandering around the East and South Districts, I noticed that several large drugstores were selling women's fragrances, and I came up with the idea of making one or several fragrances. ”

"The main effect of fragrance is to calm, soothe and soothe the mind, and ladies do often use it in their daily lives."

Wizard Célene nodded in approval, "This market is really worth exploiting, and we do have fewer women's fragrance styles in our store. ”

After a pause, Wizard Serene asked, "How are you going to do it?" Do you develop it yourself or do you continue to develop it together? ”

The reason why Wizard Seren asked this was not to covet the possible benefits of the lady's fragrance, but to give different funding according to Link's choice.

Wizard Paro sent her a promising genius to work part-time, is it really just a part-time job?

It's called cultivating!

How can an ordinary wizard apprentice have the opportunity to start the practice of pharmacy and alchemical potion a year or two in advance?

Link replied decisively: "I'm going to develop it myself first, and if I encounter an unsolvable obstacle in the middle, I'll ask Wizard Selene to help." ”

"That's fine."

Wizard Serene couldn't agree more.

Last time, the "cooperative development" model of daylily aromatherapy essential oil was a special case.

At that time, the Paro wizard made two preparations.

If Antoine. Hilton didn't dare to deal with the challenge from Rivers. Francis's challenge, then it's going to be Link. Grande is off.

That's why I gave it to Link. Grande had a chance to get a large sum of magic stones in a short period of time.

This time, let's get R&D back on track.

Link couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was a well-prepared temptation.

If you want to count the women's fragrances sold in the store, you can do it at any time period.

Why did you choose the morning when the other employees weren't there and Wizard Céree could notice?

Just to get the attention of Wizard Selene.

The conversation that takes place after attracting attention may seem simple, but in fact it has a lot of connotations.

Link identified a message from Wizard Seren's reply that Wizard Paro would not have anything like the night before in the near future and that Link needed to do it.

The two promises given by accepting the right to use the laboratory for half a year have been written off.

Wizard Paro counts!

Why this temptation?

At the end of the day, whether Link admits it or not, the crazy Rivers. Francis had planted a thorn in his heart.

The thorn is called "distrust", or "doubt."

At that time, Rivers, who had lost his mind and acted more on instinct. Francis, knowing that he could no longer take revenge on the Wizard of Paro,

This man controls the "New Blood Mutual Society", holding a fishing rod and fishing with bait for several people like him and Antoine. The big man behind the scenes of a fool like Hilton.

Like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw, he pinned all his hopes on Link, who was in every sense gifted. Grande.

In order to bury that thorn a little deeper, Rivers. Francis did not hesitate to give his dying life.

Empty mouth and white teeth, how can there be a bloody death, it is impressive!

Anyway, he's dead.

What if this thorn comes into play in the distant future?

Then make a fortune!

Reassured, Link began to advance the research progress in an orderly manner.

After the morning of pre-treatment of plants and herbs, and after lunch, Link asked Wizard Céreen to open a letter of introduction to the secondment data before heading to Central City.

Among the many governing bodies in the city of Revosoth, there is one that is very unremarkable, but very important.

That is the Import and Export of Goods Administration.

The goods entering and leaving the city through the "airport" and "truck" stations, regardless of category, all the bills entering and leaving the city must be summarized to the Import and Export Administration, and archived for investigation.

Even the black market in the West End, except for those real black goods who will be killed if they leak the news, this is the case.

Without a letter of introduction from Wizard Céline, if Link dared to ask for data on the import and export of women's fragrances in recent years, he would definitely be controlled by an intelligent law enforcement puppet.

And with this letter of introduction, Link was able to get the data he wanted very smoothly.

After that, without bothering to analyze the data, Link entered the West Side via the Southern District.

Without going deep into the interior of the West End, Link walked around the periphery of the West End a few times, ready to try his luck and find some easily controllable gangsters to do things for him.

Link's luck has always been good, and he actually caught the five street gangsters last time.

"Come here."

Link beckoned to the thugs who wanted to turn around and return when they saw him.

The awakened fear kept the thugs from going against Link's will, even though it was on the outskirts of the West Side, not as chaotic as the inside of the West End.

"Big ...... Big brother, there is ...... Is there something wrong? ”

The gangster leader asked with his back hunched over, his neck half hunched, his voice trembling, and he cowered.

Link could tell what the thugs were afraid of at a glance.

He pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Sven smiled, and said in a warm tone: "Don't worry, there is something good for you." ”

The words fell, and the thugs became even more scared.

Big brother, you said last time that you didn't mean anything, but you scared us and didn't say anything, and asked us to help you kill someone.

Now to say that there are good things, isn't it to kill people on a large scale?

We're just street gangsters who don't make it, and we beg to be spared.

The gangster leader is very active in his heart, but he replied very heartily: "Big brother, you can tell me if you have something." ”

"This is a deposit, and there will be one more after the deed."

Without saying a word, Link directly took out the bag containing ten standard first-class magic stones, stuffed it into the hands of the gangster, and said seriously: "I want to know the category, number, effect, and price of the special women's fragrances sold by all the pharmacies in the Eastern District, as well as their approximate monthly sales. Give you three days, can you do it? ”

After a pause, Link emphasized, "Remember, it's the specialty women's fragrance that each pharmacy refines itself!" ”

The gangsters, especially the gangsters, let out a long breath after hearing this.

As long as it's not killing.

They were worried about the last incident for a while.

Although for a while, their days were quite nourishing.

Not only did he get ten magic stones from Link, but he also pulled a lot of loot from the corpse and sold a lot of magic stones.

This time it's just to find out the news, and it's no problem at all.

The gangster leader clenched the bag containing the magic stone and asked, "Big brother, we have counted the data, how should we hand it over to you?" ”

"East End, Serene Wizard Apothecary."

It's not two weeks ago, Link is not afraid to reveal some of his own information, and said calmly, "You sort out the data, copy it, and just come here to find me." ”

"Then let's go back and prepare?"

The gangster asked tentatively.

"Go ahead."

Link waved his hand and watched as the thugs turned back into the interior of the West Side, and he returned to the East End.

Now that there is a new project and Wizard Selene has given new support, it makes perfect sense to borrow the space of the apothecary.

Back at the pharmacy, enter Operation Room A.

Link took out his portable brain and carefully analyzed the data "copied" from the Import and Export Administration.

In particular, the stock data of women's fragrances at Rukia's family drugstore.

From the data, it can be seen that the major pharmacies in the four urban areas mainly operate market-circulating fragrances, which have a common characteristic, that is, they are practical.

However, Link did not jump to conclusions, nor did he rush to set the direction of fragrance development.

He turned to reading fragrance-related materials and literature downloaded from the Advanced Library.

In the evening, Jasmine gets off work and returns to the academy together.

After a brief dinner, the two went into the laboratory to prepare for formal research and development.

Then, two days passed peacefully.

The thugs apparently took Link's orders to heart, and sent the collected data to the Wizard of Creen's Apothecary before noon on the third day.

Link happily paid another ten standard first-grade magic stones.

To be a man of his word, he must be true to his word, and if he says that he will give another copy after the thing is completed.

The thugs left happily.

After reading the data, Link had a surprise and a sense of urgency.

The Rukia family apothecary is preparing to launch a new potion launch, which includes a new fragrance collection.

The time to snipe is there, and so is the target of sniping.

The question is whether Link and Jasmine can develop high-quality fragrance products in time to compete with the new fragrance products of the Rukia family pharmacy.

The question is whether or not it can be won.

Link thought about it and felt that he still had to compete differently.

Perhaps, not too practical, in the case of ensuring that the effect is not weaker than other fragrances, highlight the aroma, the main charm?

To make money for women, you have to think about fame and beauty.
