The First Saint of Alchemy

After a while, the courtyard door opened, and a servant asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I am Du Shu, and I have come to visit Master Yue to discuss cooperation on elixirs." Du Shu said kindly.

"It's too late, come tomorrow." The servant apologized.

Du Shu was not in a hurry, and said calmly, "We are not idle people. We have our own reasons for disturbing you at this time. It is not troublesome to inform you, but it would be bad if you delay Master's important event."

Du Shu and Fang Xuan were so generous that the servant was immediately intimidated. He asked the two to wait for a while and then went back to report.

After a while, the servant politely invited the two to enter the courtyard.

In the reception room of the Yue family, a muscular middle-aged man wearing shorts walked in.

"I am Yue Dongli, who are you two?" The man's voice was loud and his eyes were bright.

"Du Shu, this is my good friend Fang Xuan." Du Shu introduced.

"Meet Master Yue." Fang Xuan clasped his fists.

Yue Dongli saw that the two men were unfamiliar, but they were very impressive. He did not dare to underestimate them. He asked in confusion: "What are you two doing visiting me late at night?"

Du Shu got straight to the point: "The Yue family Qingdanfang is a five-thousand-year-old alchemy family. In the past, they also competed with the Dan League. The alchemy shops are all over the southern part of Linghuang.

It's a pity that they were unlucky and failed to catch up with the trend of the times.

In addition, the sudden rise of Wandanlou took away a lot of market share, causing the business of Qingdanfang to decline.

To this day, there is only one small alchemy shop in each of the four nearby cities, which barely makes a living.

The situation of Qingdanfang makes Du sigh with regret."

Seeing Yue Dongli frowning, Du Shu continued: "I heard that Master Yue has great ambitions and a vision to revitalize Qingdanfang.

Du is willing to be the shopkeeper of Qingdanfang and help Qingdanfang restore its former glory."

"What good ideas do you have?" Yue Dongli looked at the two people and speculated in his heart that they might be scammers.

Du Shu said gently: "Qingdanfang is in a lot of trouble now. There are few kinds of elixirs and no novelty.

We can only compete for the market with low prices.

As the competition between Danmeng and Wandanlou becomes more and more fierce, their prices are getting lower and lower.

Your price advantage is gone.

The number of customers in the four cities is decreasing day by day. If there is no change, we will be forced to close the store and eventually no store will exist!

The staff of your shop should have seen that the building is about to collapse, and they have left one after another, and a large number of backbones have been lost.

At first glance, it seems that there is no way to save the situation.

But Qingdanfang is not without hope of rising!"

Yue Dongli's interest was immediately raised.

What Du Shu said is indeed the truth about Qingdanfang.

He set up ambitious goals in his early years and was bound to revitalize the family.

It's a pity that every time he changed, he couldn't change the key points. Instead, the more he struggled, the more depressed he became, and he gradually lost hope.

Now that he heard that there is still a possibility of rising, how can he not be tempted?

"I wonder what Mr. Du thinks?" Yue Dongli asked hurriedly.

"Most of the alchemists in Qingdanfang were trained by you and are very loyal to the family.

They left because they had no choice. After all, they have to support their families, right?

As long as they can see that Qingdanfang is getting better and has the hope of rising, as long as Master Yue raises his arm, they will naturally come back.

So in terms of the number of alchemists, the Yue family has the confidence to declare war on the Dan League and Wandan Building!" Du Shu said loudly.

Du Shu's words were very inspiring and deeply satisfied Yue Dongli's vanity. The latter nodded repeatedly: "Of course!"

"Qingdanfang has been passed down for 5,000 years, with a long history and extraordinary heritage. It is a rare alchemy family in Linghuang.

In terms of reputation and heritage, it also has advantages." Du Shu pointed out the second point.

"Indeed, although it is not as good as the Dan League, it is not worse than Wandan Building!" Yue Dongli nodded again.

"Master Yue, please look at these pills." Du Shu put out a few porcelain bottles.

Yue Dongli is also an alchemist and is not unfamiliar with elixirs. After a brief inspection, he asked in confusion: "They are all elixirs below the ninth grade. Is there anything special about them?"

"Although the grade is not high, the cost is low and there is ample room for profit.

For the same effect, the cost price can be more than 30% lower than that of Danmeng and Wandanlou!

Fighting a price war? Are they competing with us?

These elixirs will be our drainage products.

I will use them to revive the reputation of Qingdanfang.

'Price performance' will become one of our highlights.

When our elixir shop has a huge flow of customers, the elixir that can drive normal profits can easily revitalize the elixir shop.

As for the specific business measures, I have a thorough plan!

Whether you are willing to try it depends on Master Yue!" Du Shu handed over the decision.

Yue Dongli's heart was pounding, and his mind was full of the voice of "revitalizing Qingdanfang". Soon he adjusted his mood and regained his sanity.

The other party painted a huge pie for him, and he should also have a huge appetite.

"What do you want?" Yue Dongli asked.

"Give me all the management rights. If you want the plan to go smoothly, no second voice is allowed.

Within a year, I will increase the profit of Qingdanfang tenfold.

As for the return... we want 60% of the net profit!" Du Shu said.

"60%? That's impossible!" Yue Dongli refused loudly.

Fang Xuan said indifferently: "Master Yue, although Qingdanfang is on the decline now, it still has spare strength.

If you don't fight now, you will have no chance in the future even if you are willing.

Although we account for 60%, your profit has increased compared with previous years!"

"So Qingdanfang will work for you in the end? Then why don't we join the Dan League directly?" Yue Dongli looked unhappy.

"We only take money, Qingdanfang is still the property of the Yue family!

Whether joining the Dan League or the Wandan Building, the Yue family will be completely dead in name only. Master Yue will not make a decision that goes against his ancestors, right?

Besides, we are not trying to get something for nothing.

The recipes of these elixirs are extremely precious, and we will give them to Qingdanfang for use.

If Master Yue feels that ten times the profit in a year is still too little, Du will make another promise to Master Yue.

In three years, the profit will increase a hundred times!

If we can't do it, we will leave, and the recipe will still be left to you. "Du Shuxu offered a sky-high price.

A hundred times!

Yue Dongli's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

If the family industry can really be expanded to a hundred times, Qingdanfang will no longer be unknown in Linghuang, and he will be able to face his ancestors after his death!

"Sixty percent is too much, at most 40%! " Yue Dongli gritted his teeth and said, "If you can't accept it, then forget it!"

"Deal! "Du Shu and Fang Xuan agreed in unison.

Yue Dongli was stunned.

Are you two playing me?

Did I bid too high?

"No, you just agreed?" Yue Dongli asked hesitantly.

"It's not a vegetable market! What else?" Du Shu asked back.

Yue Dongli felt that it made sense and asked curiously, "What should we do next?"

"Sign a contract, write it down in black and white, mark the agreement, confirm that it is correct, and sign and seal it.

After reaching an agreement, you listen to my arrangements and wait to count the money." Du Shu ordered.

Yue Dongli did not hesitate and convened a meeting of the core members of the family overnight.

The two sides had a fierce argument over the details of the cooperation.

Detailed indicators were set for each quarter's revenue.

Until the dawn in the east, the specific content of the cooperation was finally finalized.

After the two sides signed and sealed, the cooperation was successfully achieved.

"Close the alchemy shops in the other three cities, immediately recall all alchemists, and first do our best to take over the Scorpion City market.

Expand the scale of the pill shop in Scorpion City, and we need a big store..." Du Shu gave orders in an orderly manner.

...

Pill Alliance.

Tianqing Peak.

Tang Yan was reading in the courtyard when the door was suddenly knocked.
