Chapter 135: Offensive and Defensive Alliance
The conscience of heaven and earth, Gu Zuo's purpose in refining the essence preservation pill is indeed to go to the low-end market of healing, to provide qi refiners, martial arts people, and even ordinary people with a kind of injury medicine that is in line with their cultivation level and physical condition, the side effects are not strong, and the price is relatively not so expensive, this is Gu Zuo's original intention.
As for the strengthening of the gods, it is only to promote the side effect of speeding up the healing of injuries. But who knew that it was this collateral effect that made the sperm pills continue to become popular. This made Gu Zuo instantly think of some past events, and he couldn't help but be in a trance.
If you immediately adjust the target market and reduce the price, it is very likely that the sales volume will be expanded to more than 100,000 per year!
The cost of the medicinal materials of the Essence Preservation Pill is fifty Wen, plus the opportunity cost of refining - including the monk's artificial, spirit stone and Dan furnace, each pill will definitely not exceed one hundred Wen, the current wholesale price is three hundred Wen, and the retail price on the market is between five hundred Wen and six hundred Wen. This price does turn away a large number of potential users.
But now it's not just the price that needs to be considered, it's also the volume. Let's not talk about whether the Yuanyang grass is enough, there are four monks in the Huaixian Pavilion who can refine the essence preservation pills, and they are working at full strength, which is more than two thousand grains per month, not to mention that this is impossible, Gu Zuo himself does not have time to devote himself to it, so the monthly output of five hundred pills is a suitable number.
Among them, he alchemy for three days a month, the butcher alchemy for seven days a month, and Li Gusheng and Ding Jiugu for fifteen days a month, any more will affect everyone's cultivation.
Six thousand grains a year, this is a number suitable for the Huaixian Pavilion. There is a large gap between this figure and the current market demand, and it is useless to reduce prices, and according to the relationship between supply and demand, the part of the concession can only be cheaper for middlemen.
"Price increase!400 wen per pill!" Gu Zuo decided to test it, even if it caused a drop in sales for this, it didn't matter, it could just ease the refining strength of the Huaixian Pavilion.
What's more, the price increase is 100 Wen, and when it is retailed in the market, it is almost about 150 Wen. Users who can afford to eat five or six hundred wen per pill, do they care about paying an extra hundred and fifty wen? Maybe they do, but Gu Zuo doesn't think it's a big problem.
Cheng Shanhu and Su San were also very sorry about the price increase of sperm preservation pills, but Gu Zuoyi explained that they also came to their senses, the output of Huaixian Pavilion was here, and the price reduction was not good for the hall.
In fact, Gu Zuo hoped that these two would also join the Sou Ling Jue cultivation team, but Sou Ling Jue was different from other exercises, too domineering, too possessive, and after cultivating Sou Ling Jue, the original exercises of these two would be abolished, which required them to think about it themselves, Gu Zuo couldn't even persuade him, who knows if people will resent it in the future?
The price increase of sperm preservation pills did not affect sales, and Cheng Shanhu finally reached an agreement with the empty warehouse Taoist to provide Baihuamen with a batch of sperm preservation pills every month, but not 500 pills, but 200 pills.
With such a long contract, the sales of sperm preservation pills will not fall. As long as the refining is stable, the net income of 1,800 per year will be proper!
Sperm preservation pills are now the number one income of the Huaixian Pavilion, and the supply of Yuanyang grass must not have problems, although he and the original Taoist chief have made a verbal agreement for incentive acquisitions, but it is still not stable, Gu Zuo plans to go to Pingtai Mountain Villa again, change the oral agreement into a written agreement, and fall on the text.
In addition, isn't it time to talk to the original Taoist about buying shares in Pingtai Mountain Villa? This is a major strategic issue for the further development of Huaixian Pavilion, and it must not be neglected, and it is necessary to invest in upstream suppliers to form a binding relationship, so that Gu Zuo can sleep well.
Just the day before Gu Zuo's trip, a small servant came to the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop, called the door at the bottom of the mountain, and asked to see Gu Zuo.
It stands to reason that Gengjin Mountain is closed, and the Huaixian Pavilion is not seen by outsiders, but the person who came is from the Spring and Autumn Pawnshop, Gu Zuo hurriedly asked Chengshan Tiger to open the magic circle and take the little guy up the mountain.
This little guy is fourteen or fifteen years old, articulate, and is the long-term entourage of Mr. Zhong Er, and when he saw Gu Zuo, he immediately bowed down and saluted: "The villain has seen the owner of the Gu Pavilion, this time I came to Gengjin Mountain, and my master has something I want to tell the owner." ”
"Speak. ”
"My master has never reached any agreement with Huaixian Pavilion on bidding for Nanwu Prefecture, nor has he paid any fees to the owner for this, if there are any rumors outside, please don't mess with yourself. ”
Gu Zuo suddenly became serious, thought for a while, and asked, "Who is putting these rumors out?"
The little girl shook his head and said, "My master has nothing else to say, and the villain doesn't know how to answer the owner's question." ”
Gu Zuo asked again: "In a few days, is it ...... It's the first anniversary of Gu's arrival in Montenegro, and he wants to invite a few friends to drink together, I wonder if Mr. Zhong Er has time?"
The little servant said: "The villain will tell my master the invitation of the owner, whether he can come or not, the master decides." But the villain thought that my master had been very busy recently, and yesterday, Wu Daochang of Longquan Daoyuan suddenly came to Black Mountain County, and the bidding in Southern Wuzhou was about to begin. In the past few days, several Taoist leaders have been discussing the profits of our Spring and Autumn Pawnshop and Mr. Big's side, and they have to ask questions one by one, and my master is busy receiving them, and most of them can't get out. ”
Gu Zuo suddenly chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart Could it be that his own family acted as the second collaborator, and the Longquan Daoist Academy knew about it, so he came to check?
Sending the little guy down the mountain, Gu Zuo thought carefully. Wu Shanjing came to Montenegro County, and the bidding in Southern Wuzhou was finally about to begin, and he checked this matter before the bidding began, I don't know if it was reported by someone or the initiative after being heard by the Taoist Academy.
If you want to start from the account records, in fact, you can't find anything, since Mr. Zhong Er sent someone to remind himself, presumably the matter of the thousand tickets, the Spring and Autumn Pawnshop will not leave evidence, and the same is true on his side, Huaixian Pavilion has not set up an account office until now, and it is obviously impossible to find paper evidence.
Therefore, the only way for them to do this was to ask them one by one, and Gu Zuo was also not afraid, because Mr. Zhong Er had actually come over to ventilate and clearly told Gu Zuo that he could not be shaken by biting to death.
On the Huaixian Pavilion's side, there was only one butcher in the know, so Gu Zuo hurriedly invited the butcher and informed him of the incident. The butcher felt very happy: "Fortunately, you insisted on alchemy to repay the debt, this step is really too wise." ”
Gu Zuohou said fearfully: "I was also timid at the time, but I didn't expect to really take precautions." ”
The butcher said: "Don't worry, if the Dao Master of the Longquan Dao Academy really wants to go up the mountain to question, I don't know, I only know that we really want to bid for the spirit stone vein." ”
With the butcher's words, Gu Zuo's heart is much more steady, this kind of thing, as long as the offensive and defensive alliance is set in advance, everyone will not admit it, and Longquan Daoist Academy has no way at all. Of course, at this time, Mr. Zhong Er was able to send the elder and the little servant around him to remind Gu Zuo, and he also reacted from the side that the seriousness of the Taoist Academy in this matter may not be so serious.
But just when Gu Zuo was about to send Cheng Shanhu and Su San to Heishan County to inquire about the news further, the two Taoist masters of Longquan Academy came to the mountain gate and officially made an appointment with Gu Zuo.
