Chapter 622 Sales are hot

After taking over Gannis Pharmacy.

Zhou Ming became the manager of this pharmacy.

Not only that, the study notes, pharmacology books, medicine formulas and other materials left by the store manager are also owned by Zhou Ming.

These precious books and formulas at least saved him a lot of time and the cost of purchasing formulas.

There are also those medicines on the shelves, most of which have not been taken away, and there are quite a few medicines worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins a bottle... Manager Hall said that these medicines are all successful samples, and he can refer to them .

It was only then that Zhou Ming realized that many of the sky-high priced medicines on the shelves were not actually prepared by store manager Hall, but bought by him for research.

There are only a dozen or twenty types of potions that Mr. Hall can make himself, and most of them are low-end potions.

"No wonder he says he's a half-assed pharmacist."

But it's normal to think about it. The Yadude Kingdom is only a small country. There is actually a powerful senior pharmacist, which means that this kingdom is not a small country, and can be rated as a "medium small country".

Due to old age and lack of energy, Hall's store manager was a senior pharmacist when he was young, but now, his level has fallen back a lot.

But no matter what, as far as Yadude Kingdom is concerned, Zhou Ming, who is only 17 years old, is the most powerful pharmacist in this kingdom, and he is the number one in this industry.

In addition, after the Ganesh Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce belonged to Zhou Ming, under the competition of the Brno Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, the corners of the Chamber of Commerce were riddled with holes, and the Chamber of Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, quickly replenished funds and personnel, and purchased several pieces. The land is ready to enter the "medicine planting industry".

Relying on those nobles to explore the cultivation of medicinal materials by themselves, the efficiency is too slow. I don't know if they can produce results in three to five years, anyway, it won't be very fast... After all, the nobles don't regard medicinal farmers as treasures.

He planned to go into the water himself, spend some time, set up a few experimental fields, give them a demonstration, serve as a learning specimen, and speed up the progress of industrial production of magic potions.

So in the next month or so, Zhou Ming became busy again.

First, I went to the test field and tossed for more than 20 days.

Back in the capital, adjust the equipment in the pharmacy production plant, organize production, and transform a large number of medicinal materials purchased by the medicinal material chamber of commerce into magic potions at the end of the assembly line.

I was busy in the factory for more than 10 days with food and lodging, and got more than 36000 bottles of [sedative medicine].

In addition, the trial production of [Physical Recovery Potion] was also a complete success, and more than 27000 bottles of physical recovery potion were obtained.

There is also [Healing Potion], which is more widely used, and more than 14000 bottles have been produced on the assembly line.

As for [Magic Power Restoration Potion] and [Dragon Blood Potion], because the hoarded medicinal materials have not yet reached the standard for starting the assembly line, they have not yet been mass-produced.

In addition to a batch of more than 32000 bottles of [Tranquilization Potion] produced before, there are 10 bottles of magic potion stored in the warehouse of the potion production factory!

10 bottles of magic potion, such a terrifying number, with the consumption power of the magicians in the Yadude Kingdom, they may not be able to use them up in ten years.

How to deal with that?

Sell!
Of course it is sold abroad!
After all, what Zhou Ming put in his mouth at the beginning was the "pharmaceutical export industry". If they don't export it to the outside world, why do they produce so many medicines?
But how to sell it?
Naturally, it is planned to sell.

As early as the pharmacy production factory successfully mass-produced the first batch of magic potions, Zhou Ming made preparations in advance and sold the potion sales agency rights of 22 kingdoms around the Yadude Kingdom to 22 families.

The sales agency rights of each kingdom range from 5000 to 20000 gold coins per year.

After obtaining the agency rights, these families can wholesale magic potions at a lower price, and then transport them to various kingdoms for sale.

For example [Tranquilization Potion], the wholesale price is 120 to 150 gold coins per bottle (with certain fluctuations in the price of medicinal materials), after it arrives in each kingdom, no matter whether it sells for 300, 500 or 800 gold coins per bottle, Yadude Kingdom will not Intervention, each agent has free pricing power.

However, cross-border sales are strictly prohibited, and it is strictly forbidden to go to the agency area of ​​other agents and compete with friends.

For this kind of "cross-border snatching" behavior, once discovered, the offender will be severely punished, and even the agency right will be revoked.

Of course, Zhou Ming will also limit the wholesale quantity of medicines so that the "goods" wholesaled to the agents will not be too much, just enough to meet the needs of a kingdom, and eliminate signs of unruly behavior from the source.

In addition, in terms of logistics, Zhou Ming has reached a strategic cooperation with the "Continental Chamber of Commerce", using the large number of "Griffin" resources owned by the other party to provide air transportation services and deliver goods to various kingdoms, so that the goods can be delivered quickly, and letters can be delivered within a week. Reply within.

This kind of cooperation must be much more costly than ordinary carriage and ship transportation, but after careful calculation, Zhou Ming found that the actual total cost is much lower.

One, the flying speed of the Griffon is fast, and the distance of tens of thousands of miles can be reached in two or three days, which saves a lot of time compared to the three to five months of horse-drawn carriage transportation.

Two, griffins fly at an altitude of [-] meters. They will not encounter thieves on the road, and there is no need to recruit adventurers to escort them. It is safe and saves money.

Finally, the griffins who take the air route will not pass through the territories of various lords, and do not need to pay heavy commercial and road taxes, avoiding countless extortion and saving money.

Of course, the shortcomings of the Griffin are also obvious. Its ability to hump is poor. An adult Griffin can carry a maximum load of about 100 kilograms, and it will not work if it is too much.

But excluding a driver, how much is a bottle of magic potion?The glass bottle, together with the medicine inside, is only 30 grams at most.

1000 bottles of magic potions weigh only 30 kilograms.

It costs 1000 gold coins to hire a griffin, but to bring a thousand bottles of magic potions worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, the transportation fee only accounts for one or two percent of the value of the goods.

So still very cost-effective.

As for the stores, each family that has obtained sales agency rights sent people to their agency areas early, brought gold coins, bought stores, hired people to decorate, and then found a local noble to cooperate. opened up.

After everything is ready.

In early November.

Large-scale "distribution" has begun.

Through two shipments by more than 20 griffins, more than 10 bottles of magic potions were sent to more than 20 surrounding kingdoms.

On average, each kingdom received 5000 bottles of magic potions.

then……

It's sold out.

In about half a month on average, all the magic potions in the hands of the dealers in the kingdom were sold out.

There is basically no bottle left.

why?
Cheap.

quite cheap.

According to the level of economic development of each country and the level of conscience of the distributors, only [Tranquilizer] is taken as an example.

The cost of 180 gold coins per bottle (including transportation fee, store operating fee, commercial tax, etc.), some families sell 350 gold coins per bottle, and they earn about 100% profit.

Some families sell a bottle of 500 gold coins, making about 180% profit.

Some families sell a bottle of 800 gold coins, making about 350% profit.

And these families that have obtained agency rights, no matter how much profit they make, as long as the price of [Sedative Medicine] is below 800 gold coins, they will basically attract a large number of customers to buy.

The cheaper it is, the faster it will sell out.

These more than 20 families, after selling out 10 bottles of magic potions, each family made a net profit of more than 100 million gold coins on average.

One million gold coins, this is an enviable number.

After seeing the financial data report, King James complained: "The big head was taken away by these families!"

However, everyone knows that the royal family, which holds 70% of the shares in the pharmaceutical production plant, is the one that has made the most profits among all the families.

Still take [Tranquilization Potion] as an example, nearly 7 bottles of [Tranquilization Potion] are wholesaled at a price of 150 gold coins per bottle, and the cost of medicinal materials (including worker wages and machine wear and tear) is deducted from the cost of 30 gold coins per bottle. 120 gold coins, all real profits.

120 multiplied by 7 and then multiplied by 70%, equals 588 million gold coins.

Including other potions, the royal family's monthly income is close to 1000 million gold coins... equal to the sum of the three-year-old income.

Therefore, during the recent period, King Jaime's face was full of red light, and he was in a happy mood, as if he was ten years younger.

And even though he complained, he had to admit that the cooperation model designed by that kid Leylin had indeed maximized the interests of the royal family, and saved the royal family a lot of risks and costs in the process of purchasing and selling medicinal materials. trouble.

The royal family only needs to guard the factory, maintain the orderly operation of the factory, and just sit and collect money.

There is no need to worry about other aspects.

It also united (or 'bound') dozens of families and sat on the same boat as the royal family.

Thinking of this, King James couldn't help applauding, and sighed: "That kid Leylin is simply the illegitimate child of God, a rare genius in the world! If he can be born earlier, he can be used by me sooner."

King Jaime felt that the boy was born too late, or he was born too early. If he could meet such a talent at a relatively young age, what would the Yadude Kingdom be like today?
The old fox Roberts asked: "Your Majesty, Leylin has made such great contributions to the royal family, how should we reward him?"

"reward?"

King Jaime patted himself on the head: "I almost forgot about this, reward, it must be rewarded greatly!"

But here comes the trouble.

For Leylin, what should he reward?
