0093 Crazy Pharmacy Dumping
Recently, several major events have happened in Kelan City that have shocked the whole city, and the city has been full of turmoil.
The first is the "counterfeit medicine workshop incident" some time ago, I heard that a civilian who did not have the qualifications of a pharmacist had the audacity to secretly manufacture counterfeit and shoddy drugs at home, but after being reported, it was cracked and seized by the city guards in one fell swoop.
Then there was a small mercenary group with less than 100 members, and it was almost in the competition between the mercenary groups, and it was suppressed to the point that it was almost disbanded, and suddenly God rose to reverse the suppressed situation, and only six members challenged the storm wolf mercenary group that suppressed them, and hung the opponent's regimental flag in the mercenary guild hall.
There is also the Golden Two-Headed Dragon, the largest mercenary group in Koran City, which suddenly announced the establishment of the mercenary group headquarters in the cursed abandoned castle complex, Fort Doom, and then the Corran branch began to distribute precious potions to its mercenaries.
These are all interesting things that make the people of Corland talk about, but before the heat of these interesting stories dissipates, a shocking new news has once again added countless topics to the streets of Coran City.
Some time ago, the "fake medicine workshop incident" was actually rehabilitated, and the owner of the pharmacy workshop took out a legal pharmacy certificate, and the civilians who were innocently detained were just employees of the workshop!
To this end, several righteous councillors who spoke for the common people sued the Apothecary Guild to the Coran City Civil Council, accusing the Apothecary Guild of maliciously falsely accusing and kidnapping the civilian family in order to obtain the potion formula, and also robbing them of their special potion production tools under the guise of public money.
Just when the righteous councilors asked the Pharmacists Guild to release the civilian, the news broke that the civilian had disappeared!
This incident directly caused public anger among the people of Coran City, and there were constantly civil society organizations to protest/demonstrate/protest in front of the hall of the Civil Council, demanding that the Pharmacists Guild release the innocent civilians Brown family.
But according to the reliable gossip from within the Apothecary Guild, the Brown family has been murdered by the Pharmacists Guild, which monopolizes the pharmacy industry in Colan City, after being forced to find out the formula of the potion, and in the arraignment of the Civil Council, they can't hand it over.
As a result, the reputation of the Apothecary's Guild plummeted in Corran, and the president of the Apothecary's Guild and the deacon of the book's title resigned by himself, and the new president of the Apothecary's Guild publicly stated that he would definitely give an account to the people.
At this time, those few members of the People's Congress who bravely stood up to uphold justice for the civilians were brutally murdered at home, and the spearhead of the murder suspect was directly aimed at the former president of the Pharmacists Guild and others who had left their posts.
This vicious incident shocked the entire civil council at once, and for a time everyone in the people's parliament was in danger, and the common people were agitated and demanded that the murderer be severely punished.
However, the former president and deacons of the Pharmacists Association, when attending the public opinion hearing and self-defense meeting, said that they had no reason to deliberately kill the members of the People's Congress when all the adverse testimony pointed to the Pharmacists Association.
Not only does this not do them any good, but it will lead all suspicion to them, claiming that it is a conspiracy against them, against the Apothecary Guild!
In order to clear their name, the former president and deacon of the Pharmacists Guild, who died in full view of everyone, proved their innocence with their lives, and collectively committed suicide at the venue of the self-defense and appeal conference!
At this moment, the suspicion shifted from the Apothecary Guild to Clark Abigail, the president of the Coran Branch of the Mercenary Guild of Vested Interests, as the former president of the Apothecary Guild who had already died said, in recent times, the behavior of the Coran Branch of the Mercenary Guild is indeed a little weird!
They don't know where they got the mysterious source of the potions, and not only privately terminated the potion supply agreement with the Pharmacists Guild, but also grabbed the market share of the Apothecary Guild.
There is every reason to believe that this is the revenge of the mercenary guild that obtained the source of the potion, in order to fight, frame and seize the pharmacy business of the Apothecary Guild, and take revenge on the Apothecary Guild for always controlling their share of potions and inhibiting their development!
President Clark was so overwhelmed by the sudden reversal of the wind that he almost learned from the other party's death, which pushed the incident into an even more confusing situation.
All of a sudden, the Apothecary Guild and the Mercenary Guild Kelan Branch attacked each other, coupled with the gags of the Civil Council of Kelan City, the three forces stirred up a mess in Kolan City, and many forces were also taking advantage of the chaos to move wildly, and behind a seemingly simple incident, the dark tide was surging.
At the beginning, the potion ration plan formulated by the Mercenary Guild was only for the mercenaries in the city to be supplied in a fixed amount, and the scope of the impact was not too large, and it would not excessively touch the interests of the Apothecary Guild.
But maybe it's because he has torn his face, and the mercenary guild, which was originally "eating like", simply tore off his mask and showed his hideous fangs.
As a medium-sized city with a local population of more than 1.7 million (including surrounding towns, villages, farms and pastures, and plantations) and hundreds of thousands of floating population, Coran City not only has a seaport and a float boat airport, but also an important transit transportation hub connecting the two sides of the Sea Wall Mountains, Gilargo County and Dagon County.
Therefore, on the basis of extremely convenient transportation such as land, sea and air, commerce is also particularly prosperous, and due to the gathering of a large number of merchants, it has also given birth to the development of the mercenary industry.
The number of mercenaries registered in the city alone is as high as more than 35,000 people, including 7 large mercenary groups with more than 1,000 people, and 16 medium-sized mercenary groups with less than 1,000 people and more than 500 people.
There are 56 small mercenary groups with more than 100 people and less than 500 people, and there are also micro mercenary groups with less than 100 people, or hundreds of small mercenary teams and free mercenaries.
In addition, the number of mercenaries in the outer city who temporarily place orders is even comparable to the number of mercenaries in the city during the peak period, and it is also a large-scale mercenary gathering point in the mercenary world of the seven continents.
And the high-risk industry of mercenaries, the demand for potions is quite huge, even if the mercenaries do not care about life and death, but who is willing to die if they can not die, which leads to the fact that in addition to weapons and equipment, all kinds of life-saving medicines have become the bulk of the mercenaries' consumption.
At the beginning of the Mercenary Guild's Kelan Branch, it was only a share of the mercenaries registered in the city, and the distribution of potions of a single variety was still very simple, and this part was less than the loss of local orders for 5,000 bottles of potions with a monthly production capacity of one-thirtieth of the capacity, which was of no importance to the Apothecary Guild.
But now, the Koran branch has begun to frantically supply all kinds of potions to its local mercenaries, but all the potions that can be bought in the pharmacy under the name of the Pharmacists Guild can be bought at the pharmacy counter of the Kolan branch, and the quality is one level higher than that of the pharmacy, and the price is only forty percent of the same kind of potions!
The scale of this supply is unbelievable, even if calculated according to the population of 50,000 mercenaries, 10 bottles of potions are supplied to each mercenary every month, which is a full 500,000 bottles of potions, more than three times the total production capacity of the Apothecary Guild!
With such a huge pharmaceutical production capacity, how many pharmacists do you need to prepare it?
If it's just the mercenary market in this city, it may not be able to hurt the Apothecary Guild, which has a stable sales channel and a fixed supply target.
Although potions are only useful when life and health are threatened, they are definitely a necessity for survival that can be prepared and worry-free.
Therefore, as soon as the supply restrictions of the Kelan branch were lifted, those who had a demand for medicines, worried that there would not be many opportunities to obtain an abundant supply of medicines, so they carried out a rush hoarding, and the pharmaceutical market in Kelan City was saturated in a short period of time.
Potions don't have to be eaten every day like food, and buying them once can often ensure their use for a long time.
When the Pharmacists Guild realized that something was wrong and planned to reduce the price to compete for market share, it was completely too late, and it was estimated that there would be no mercenary group to purchase potions in the next year, and all these evil consequences were planted by the Pharmacists Guild itself.
Who told them to have a production capacity of 150,000 bottles of potions per month, but they only put only 5,000 bottles of potions into the pharmacy industry in Kelan City, deliberately operating a kind of market hunger to ensure that their potions can be sold at a high price, and at the same time, they also have the scarcity that is sought after.
In this way, no matter how many potions they put on the market and how high the price is, they will not be able to sell them, and when they need funds, they can harvest the gold talan to their heart's content.
But now, this market that has been in a state of hunger for a long time, which has been managed with great difficulty, has been picked by the sudden outbreak of the mercenary guild Kolan Branch, which is simply an even worse blow to the pharmacist guild that is being caught in the murder of civilian kidnapping.
Is this all there is to the crazy drug dumping scheme of the Coran branch?
Of course not!
And it's not just mercenaries who need to use potions, the adventurer's guild, which is no smaller than the mercenary guild, the combat professional guilds, and even the city guards under the name of the civil council, these industry guilds with a certain degree of risk are all hoarding enough potions for a year in this sudden potion dumping!
The Apothecary Guild, which finally panicked, began to desperately contact the channels in their hands, trying to preemptively occupy the market before the potions of the Koran branch were dumped and spread to the surrounding city-states.
But what they never expected was that the pharmacists who had been pampered in the seller's market, accustomed to my territory being in charge, and slowly dispensing pharmaceuticals, were powerless to resist in this huge battle for the market share of pharmaceuticals!
