Chapter 603 Resolved
With all kinds of performances of Wei Ni, Zhou Ming realized the horror of women!
Small-minded women are terrible.

Terrible for irrational women!
Two words to describe her are: crazy, crazy!

Zhou Ming regretted it a bit. If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't have acted too aggressively in front of her, and shouldn't have stimulated her too much, otherwise there wouldn't be so much trouble.

but……

Time cannot be turned back.

I regret that there is no place to buy medicine.

After a brief period of shock and panic caused by the big trouble Winnie caused him, Zhou Ming quickly had a countermeasure.

The first thing he has to do is win people's hearts.

Gather the hearts of those "good brothers".

Of course, to put it nicely, they are good brothers, and Zhou Ming is of course clear: they are just "plastic good brothers" wrapped in "interests", and the core is to use each other.

Zhou Ming needs these brothers to help provide protection.

These "good brothers" need him to supply cheap [sedative medicine] to increase the speed of cultivation.

Both take what they need, mutual benefit and a win-win situation.

But after Winnie suddenly stepped in, this tacit "good brother" relationship immediately showed its original shape, revealing its fragile nature.

So what should Zhou Ming do to win back the hearts of these "good brothers"?
Could it be that the price of [Tranquilizing Potion] in his hand has also been reduced to 80 gold coins/bottle, or even lower?

In exchange for the forgiveness of the "good brothers".

Zhou Ming wouldn't do such a stupid thing!
He ignored the non-core customers for the time being. He called together 10 core customers including Fatty Baum, Connie, Wolf, Vic, and Jerrys, and had a talk with them once in a restaurant box.

In the box, after all the staff arrived, no one spoke.

There was a collective silence for 5 minutes.

Seeing that no one expressed dissatisfaction, Zhou Ming coughed twice, and after attracting their attention, he first asked three questions:
"Brothers, I would like to ask, is the [Sedative Potion] I sold to you worth 100 gold coins a bottle?"

"Uh~"

"Not expensive."

"Not expensive."

Fatty Baum and the others shook their heads, expressing that it was not expensive.

"it is good!"

Zhou Ming asked again: "Let me ask you guys again, compared with the original price of 1000 gold coins in a pharmacy [Tranquilization Potion], if I sell a bottle of 100 gold coins, is it considered to be selling at the cost price?"

"Uh~ Forget it."

"It does count."

"But……"

Most of Fatty Baum and the others nodded, only a few of them looked displeased... The cost of medicinal materials is only 35 gold coins.

Seeing what those people were thinking, Zhou Ming said again:
"Yes, the cost of medicinal materials is indeed 35 gold coins, but these medicinal materials require processing, purification, extraction of active ingredients, and 171 steps of mixing, stirring, and heating before they can be transformed from raw materials into [sedative medicine]."

"In these 171 steps, no mistakes are allowed in one step. Once a mistake is made, all of it will be scrapped, and all previous efforts will be wasted."

"I have to operate accurately and concentrate highly. It takes more than 2 hours to prepare each medicine."

"May I ask for the time, physical strength, and my skill in preparing the medicine? Are these costs worth 65 gold coins?"

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, the two students who held objections swallowed all the doubts stuck in their throats.

"Let me ask you one last question, is the price of 100 gold coins for a bottle of [Sedative Potion] I prepared really too much?"

Fatty Baum said first: "Not too much!"

Connie said: "If I can make tranquilizing potions, I'll sell at least 200 gold coins a bottle."

"The value of the magic potion depends on the pharmacist, not the ingredients."

"That's enough of those outsiders saying that Brother Leylin's hearts are black! Magic potion is not a drink that they can make casually!"

"Leylin, I support you!"

The 10 core customers expressed their opinions one after another, and they all supported Leylin Brothers... They were all beneficiaries of the cheap [Tranquilization Potion], and each of them had more than two second-level customers around them, and the money they earned from reselling each bottle of medicine , they all have more than Zhou Ming.

Now Wei Ni suddenly led people to disrupt the market, all their customers were robbed, and the loss was huge.

As for the actual cost of [Sedative Potion], they didn't care, no matter how much it cost, they would not pay that cost.

So for Zhou Ming, they didn't have that much complaint and dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, they complained privately about Wei Ni's behavior of disrupting the market.

Zhou Ming began to introduce the cause of the incident, as well as the grievances and grievances between him and Wei Ni, and told them the cause and effect.

Everyone suddenly realized and talked a lot.

"I didn't expect 'Ice Beauty' to be such a petite person."

"Just because you are more talented than her, is she going to target you like this?"

"Sure enough, there is a famous saying in my hometown that is true: beauty is like an angel, but heart is like a poisonous snake."

"Isn't this woman doing too much?"

"She doesn't even sell you the medicinal materials now, what should you do with Leylin?"

"I heard that the business of medicinal materials in the entire kingdom is basically monopolized by the Ganesh Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce under the Ganesh Pharmacy. Other chambers of commerce also deal in medicinal materials, but the varieties are not as complete as the Ganesh Chamber of Commerce...Leylin, you are really in trouble. "

"The medicinal materials industry has too little demand. In a small kingdom like Yadude, there are not many pharmacists in total, let alone a few chambers of commerce that deal in medicinal materials."

Some people may be puzzled, except that pharmacists have demand for medicinal materials, do ordinary people have no demand?
For example, make some medicinal materials to cure diseases, take care of the body and so on.

No, ordinary people really don't need it.

When they are sick or unwell, they only need to go to church, spend a little money, dedicate their piety, and ask the priests to perform a "blessing" or "disease cure", and immediately the pain will disappear and the state will be full.

No need to take medicine at all.

Therefore, the medicinal material market is a fairly niche market, which is closely related to the number of pharmacists in various countries.

Now that Wei Ni has arbitrarily suspended Zhou Ming's supply of medicinal materials, it is still quite troublesome for Zhou Ming to solve the problem.

However, he also has a solution in mind, to get rid of the situation where the supply of medicinal materials is controlled by others.

The most urgent task now is to attack the market shock caused by Wei Ni's low-priced dumping of [Sedative Medicine].

Zhou Ming has a wonderful solution here.

"Acquisition, a large number of acquisitions!"

"That woman is too stupid. The high price of the magic potion is not because of the cost of its preparation, but because of the scarcity of the potion itself."

"Rare things are more expensive. She actually dumped a bottle of [Sedative Medicine] worth 1000 gold coins at 80 gold coins per bottle, just to make me feel better."

"Didn't she consider that at this price, all teachers and students in the school can afford [Sedative Medicine], and the number of potential customers will increase by more than 10 times?"

"How much is Gannis Pharmacy's [Sedative Medicine] production? How much stock does she have left?"

"I bet that the amount of [Sedative Potion] they have in stock will never exceed 1000 bottles... This is only half a month's demand for 200 people."

"She doesn't restrict student purchases."

"Okay, let's go buy it too, buy ten bottles and a hundred bottles, it's best to buy them all!"

"After we buy them all, let's see what that woman will do!"

Zhou Ming came up with a ruthless move, a ruthless move to buy a large number of rival products.

He has actually used this trick in many worlds, especially in the face of malicious competition from competitors, this trick has been tried and tested.

In addition, Zhou Ming also wondered whether Wei Ni's brain had gotten into water, and it was fine to black him, but in order to snatch away his "good brothers", he came up with this stupid trick.

What if Gannis Pharmacy's inventory of [Sedative Potion] is all sold out?

What should she do?
How can you continue to bring him down?
Zhou Ming shook his head. Since that woman's IQ suddenly dropped, he should teach her a lesson.

So in the next few days, Fatty Baum, who pretended to have a falling out with Zhou Ming, and other 10 people showed their allegiance in front of Wei Ni, and obtained the qualification to buy the [Sedative Potion] in her hand.

Not only that, but Baum and the others also recruited a group of "water soldiers" to buy the [Sedative Potion] in Winnie's hands at their own expense. They will be rewarded with 20 gold coins for each bottle they successfully buy.

In addition, in private, Baum and the others disseminated a large amount of anonymous purchase information in the school, and bought [Sedative Potion] in large quantities. Other students bought the potion with 80 gold coins a bottle, and Baum and the others bought it back for 120 gold coins.

There is no quantity limit.

How much, how much to charge.

In the Brno School of Magic, the number of students speculating on [Sedative Potion] increased rapidly.

Wealthy students earn the price difference, earning 50% of the income per bottle.

Classmates who have no money buy on behalf of each other and earn 25% of the income per bottle.

The [Sedative Medicine] in Winnie's hands has become an investment and financial product. All the students in the school are trying to find a way to buy two more bottles, and all the students in the school are investing.

The inventory of [Sedative Potion] in Wei Ni's hands decreased at an alarming rate.

Calculated by selling 200 bottles a day, she can persist for up to five days.

In fact, on the third day, she realized that something was wrong, and planned to limit the purchase, requiring each person to purchase a maximum of one bottle every three days.

But someone has released rumors that Wei Ni has 10,000+ bottles of [Sedative Potion], she will not limit the purchase, and will not increase the price. There is nothing wrong with the [Sedative Potion] here, everyone can buy it with confidence!

"Bastard! Damn bastard!"

After Wei Ni heard this rumor, she really wanted to find out that person, and directly used a "big fireball technique" to burn him into charcoal.

But the label "Senior Sister Conscience" was applied to her.

If she doesn't want her character set to collapse, she can only take this label and cancel the purchase restriction (in fact, it is unrealistic for her to want to limit the purchase, this is not a modern society, without a computer to record, it is impossible to achieve every three days per person. buy-a-bottle regime).

It is even more impossible to increase the price!
She can only shorten the trading time, only 1 hour a day, and sell a maximum of 150 bottles of [Soothing Potion].

In this way, she survived for 6 days, and the stock was finally sold out.

On the seventh day, all the [Sedative Medicine] she sold were prepared by herself, and the limit was 7 bottles per day... With her junior pharmacist's ability and Zhou Ming's improved formula, she prepared 50 bottles a day. The bottle of [Soothing Potion] has reached her limit.

On the 10th day, she finally couldn't hold on any longer. After selling the last 50 bottles of [Tranquilization Potion], she had to announce: all the potions are sold out, there are no more in stock, and the medicinal materials are also used up. If you want to buy another potion, you have to wait a few days. It's been a month.

The students were taken aback and talked about it.

"Senior sister, don't you have 10,000+ bottles of [Sedative Potion]? How many bottles have you sold?"

"No way, 50 bottles a day is not guaranteed?"

"Senior sister, everyone has been rumoring that you suddenly lowered the price of a bottle of [Tranquilization Potion] priced at 1000 gold coins to 80 gold coins, in order to suppress a talented pharmacist?"

"Senior sister, Leylin said that he would also sell the [Sedative Potion] he prepared at a price of 80 gold coins a bottle, but the pharmacy of senior sister suddenly stopped selling medicinal materials to him. Is there such a thing?"

"Senior sister, Leylin said that he promised not to sell medicines at high prices again, and he intends to turn his back on his evil ways. Why don't you sell him medicinal materials?"

"Senior sister, some people say that after this event is over, the price of Ganesh Pharmacy's [Tranquilizing Potion] will increase back to 1000 gold coins per bottle. Will the price increase?"

"Sister..."

Faced with all kinds of "conspiracy theory" questions that suddenly came from the audience, Winnie's hands trembled and her face was as black as coal.

Especially when I heard the question below, "Senior, I found that the [Sedative Potion] I used recently only lasts for two days, and it is not as effective as the medicine prepared by Leylin. Senior, is there any problem?"

"what!"

Winnie let out a loud cry, cast a "flying spell" on herself, and flew to the shooting range on the mountain behind the school, and then there was an explosion sound of "Boom~Boom~".

and screaming through gnashing of teeth:
"Leylin! Die! Die!"

"It must be your fault! It must be you!"

"Boom~Boom~!"

At this scene, all the students looked at each other in blank dismay.

……

the other side.

After negotiations, Zhou Ming reached an agreement with the old fox to set up a medicinal herb chamber in the name of the Brno School of Magic, specializing in the purchase of various medicinal materials.

For this chamber of commerce, the school provides funds, channels, and personnel to manage it, and guarantees that the problem of medicinal materials will be initially resolved within two months.

Zhou Ming showed his skills and signed a letter of guarantee, promising to train 10 junior pharmacists for the school within two years. If he failed, he would serve the school for life.

There are three main benefits he enjoys:
1. The school built a professional laboratory for him.

2. Supply medicinal materials to him at cost price.

3. He gets 60% of the proceeds from the sale of the medicines he personally prepared.

In this way, Zhou Ming's embarrassing situation of being controlled by others has basically been resolved.
