With Wei Ni's various performances, Zhou Ming realized how scary women are!

The horror of a small-minded woman.

The horror of irrational women!

Two words to describe her are: crazy and crazy!

Zhou Ming felt quite regretful. If he had known this, he shouldn't have been too pretentious in front of her and shouldn't have stimulated her too much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in so much trouble.

but……

Time cannot be turned back.

There is no place to buy regret medicine.

Wei Ni caused a big trouble for him. After a brief period of shock and panic, Zhou Ming quickly came up with a plan to deal with it.

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

Win the hearts of those "good brothers".

Of course, to put it mildly, they are good brothers, and Zhou Ming certainly knows that: they are just "plastic good brothers" wrapped in "interests", and the core is to use each other.

Zhou Ming needs the help of these brothers to provide protection.

These "good brothers" need him to supply cheap [soothing potions] to increase their cultivation speed.

The two each get what they need and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

But after Winnie suddenly intervened, this tacit "good brother" relationship immediately showed its original shape and exposed 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 the [Soothing Potion] on the handle has been reduced to 80 gold coins/bottle, or even lower?

In exchange for the forgiveness of "good brothers".

Zhou Ming wouldn’t do such stupid things!

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 in a private room of a restaurant.

In the box, after everyone arrived, no one spoke.

There was collective silence for five minutes.

Seeing that no one expressed dissatisfaction, Zhou Ming coughed twice to attract their attention, and first asked three questions:

"Brothers, I would like to ask, is the [Calming Potion] I sold you, 100 gold coins per bottle, expensive?"

"Uh~"

"Not expensive."

"Not expensive."

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

"good!"

Zhou Ming asked again: "Let me ask you brothers again, compared with the original price of a bottle of [Soothing Potion] of 1,000 gold coins in the pharmacy, if I sell a bottle of 100 gold coins, is it sold at cost price?"

"Uh~ Forget it."

"It does count."

"But……"

Fatty Baum and most of them nodded, only a few of them looked unhappy... The cost of the medicinal materials was only 35 gold coins.

Seeing what those people were thinking, Zhou Ming said again:

"Yes, the cost of the medicinal materials is indeed 35 gold coins, but these medicinal materials need to be processed, purified, and the active ingredients extracted. They also need to go through 171 steps of mixing, stirring, heating, etc., before they can be transformed from raw materials into [soothing potion]."

"In these 171 steps, you must not make any mistakes. Once you make a mistake, everything will be scrapped and all your previous efforts will be wasted."

"I have to operate accurately and be highly concentrated. It takes more than 2 hours to prepare each potion."

"Excuse me, are the time, energy, and skills I spent preparing the medicine worth the 65 gold coins?"

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, the two dissenting classmates swallowed back all the doubts stuck in their throats.

"Let me ask you finally, is the price of 100 gold coins per bottle of the [Calming Potion] I prepared really excessive?"

Fatty Baum said first: "It's not too much!"

Connie said: "If I could prepare a tranquilizing potion, I would sell it for at least 200 gold coins a bottle."

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

"Enough of those people out there who say Brother Leylin is evil! Magic potion is not a drink they can just brew!"

"Leylin, I support you!"

10 core customers expressed their support. They all supported the Leilin brothers... They were all beneficiaries of the cheap [Soothing Potion]. Each of them had more than two secondary customers around them, and the money they earned from each bottle of potion was resold. , they all have more than Zhou Ming.

Now Wei Ni suddenly led people to disrupt the market, all their customers were taken away, and the losses were huge.

As for the actual cost of the [Soothing Potion], they don't care. No matter how much it costs, they won't pay that cost.

So they don't have that big complaints or dissatisfaction with Zhou Ming.

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

Zhou Ming began to introduce the cause of the incident and his grudges with Wei Ni, telling them the cause and effect.

Everyone suddenly realized it and started talking about it.

“I didn’t expect ‘Ice Beauty’ to be such a petty person.”

"Just because you're more talented than her, she's going to target you like this?"

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

"Isn't this woman doing a great job?"

"She won't even sell you any medicinal materials now, what should you do Leylin?"

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

"The demand for medicinal materials is too small. In a small kingdom like Yadud, there are only a few pharmacists combined, let alone several chambers of commerce dealing in medicinal materials."

Some people may wonder, except for pharmacists who have a need for medicinal materials, don’t ordinary people have a need for them?

For example, getting some medicinal materials to treat diseases and take care of the body.

No, ordinary people really have no need.

When they are sick or unwell, they only need to go to the church, spend a little money, offer their piety, and ask the priests to perform some "blessing techniques" or "disease-removing techniques", and their illnesses will disappear immediately and their condition will be full.

No need to take medicine at all.

Therefore, the medicinal materials market is a quite niche market, closely related to the number of pharmacists in each country.

Now that Wei Ni has stopped the supply of medicinal materials to Zhou Ming without authorization, it is still quite troublesome for Zhou Ming to solve the problem.

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

The top priority now is to attack the market shock caused by Wei Ni's low-priced dumping of [Soothing Potion].

Zhou Ming has a wonderful idea here.

"Acquisitions, lots of acquisitions!"

"That woman is so 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."

"Things are rare and valuable. She actually sold a bottle of [Calming Potion] worth 1,000 gold coins for 80 gold coins per bottle, just to prevent me from having a hard time."

"Didn't she consider that the [Calming Potion] at this price is affordable to all teachers and students in the school, and the number of potential customers will increase by more than 10 times."

"What is the production volume of Ganis Pharmacy's [Calming Potion]? How much inventory does she have left?"

"I bet that the number of [soothing potions] they have in stock will never exceed 1,000 bottles... This is only the demand of 200 people for half a month."

"She does not restrict students from purchasing."

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

"Let's see what that woman does after we buy everything!"

Zhou Ming came up with a ruthless move to acquire rival products in large quantities.

He has actually used this trick in many worlds, especially when facing malicious competition from competitors. This trick has proven successful time and time again.

In addition, Zhou Ming also suspected that Wei Ni was in trouble. She just wanted to cheat him, but in order to take away his "good brothers", she actually came up with this stupid trick.

What if all the [Calming Potions] in stock at Ganis Pharmacy are sold out?

What should she do?

Why continue to bring him down?

Zhou Ming shook his head. Since that woman's IQ suddenly dropped off, he should teach her a lesson.

So in the next few days, 10 people including Fatty Baum, who pretended to have a falling out with Zhou Ming, showed their allegiance to Wei Ni and obtained the qualification to purchase the [Calming Potion] she had.

Not only that, Baum and the others also recruited a group of "water soldiers" and asked them to buy the [Calming Potion] from Wei Ni at their own expense. For every bottle they successfully purchased, they were given 20 gold coins per bottle.

In addition, privately, Baum and the others spread a large amount of anonymous acquisition information in the school and purchased [Calming Potion] in large quantities. Other students bought the medicine for 80 gold coins a bottle, but Baum and the others recycled it for 120 gold coins.

No quantity limit.

How much is there, how much is collected.

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

Rich students earn the price difference and earn 50% of each bottle.

Students who have no money buy it on behalf of others and earn 25% on each bottle.

The [Calming Potion] in Winnie's hand has become an investment and financial management product. All students in the school are looking for ways to buy two more bottles, and all students in the school are investing in it.

The inventory of [Soothing Potion] in Winnie's hands decreased at an alarming rate.

Based on selling 200 bottles a day, she can last up to five days.

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

But I don’t know who spread the rumor, saying that Wei Ni has hundreds of thousands of bottles of [Calming Potion], and she will not limit the purchase, let alone increase the price. She is a conscientious senior sister unlike the black-hearted Leylin. Buy her There is nothing wrong with the [Calming Potion] in your hand, everyone can buy it with confidence!

"Asshole! Damn you bastard!"

After Wei Ni heard this rumor, she wanted to find out the man and burn him into charcoal with a "fire ball".

But the label of "conscience senior sister" has been slapped on her.

If she doesn't want her personality to collapse, she can only bear this label and cancel the purchase limit (in fact, it is unrealistic for her to limit purchases. This is not a modern society. Without computers to record, it is impossible to achieve every three days per person. buy a bottle system).

A price increase is even more impossible!

She can only shorten the trading time, only 1 hour a day, and can sell up to 150 bottles of [Soothing Potion].

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

On the seventh day, the [Calming Potion] she sold was all prepared by herself, with a limit of 50 bottles per day... With her ability as a junior pharmacist, plus Zhou Ming's improved formula, she could prepare 50 bottles per day. A bottle of [Calming Potion] has reached her limit.

On the 10th day, she finally couldn't hold on anymore. After selling the last 50 bottles of [Calming Potion], she had to announce: All the potions were sold out, there was no more stock, and the medicinal materials were used up. If she wanted to buy more potions, she could only wait a few days. Months later.

The students were surprised and started talking.

"Senior sister, don't you have hundreds of thousands of bottles of [Calming Potion]? How many bottles have you sold just now?"

"No, you can't guarantee 50 bottles a day?"

"Senior sister, everyone has been rumoring recently that you suddenly reduced the price of a bottle of [Calming Potion] that costs 1,000 gold coins to 80 gold coins. Is this to suppress a talented pharmacist?"

"Senior, Leylin said that he is also willing to sell the [Soothing Potion] he prepared for 80 gold coins a bottle, but Senior's pharmacy suddenly stopped selling the medicine to him. Is this happening?"

"Senior sister, Leylin said that he promised not to sell medicine at high prices anymore. He plans to change his ways. Why don't you sell him medicinal materials?"

"Senior sister, some people say that after this event, the price of the [Calming Potion] at Ganis Pharmacy will increase back to 1,000 gold coins per bottle. Will the price increase?"

"Senior sister..."

Facing various "conspiracy theory" questions that suddenly came from the audience, Wei Ni's palms trembled and her face turned black.

Especially when I heard the question below: "Senior, I found that the [Soothing Potion] I used recently only lasted for two days and was not as effective as the potion prepared by Leilin. Senior, is there any problem here?"

"ah!"

Winnie yelled, cast a "flying spell" on herself, and flew to the shooting range on the mountain behind the school, and then there was an explosion of "boom~boom~".

And screams of gnashing teeth:

"Leylin! Go to hell! Go to hell!"

"It must be you! It must be you!"

"Boom~Boom~!"

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

…

the other side.

After negotiations, Zhou Ming reached an agreement with Old Fox to establish a medicinal herb chamber of commerce in the name of Brno Magic School to purchase various medicinal materials.

This chamber of commerce, the school will provide funds, channels, and personnel to manage, and will ensure that the problem of medicinal materials will be initially solved 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 could not do this, 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 him with medicinal materials at cost price.

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

In this way, Zhou Ming's embarrassing situation of being controlled by others was basically solved.
