The Marketplace Is a Battlefield
Alchemy is just like magic. It divides potions into several categories based on their functions. Zul'ra There are currently four types of potions known to us. Those that can benefit the human body are called mixtures, those that can cause damage are called oils, those that can transform substances, and those that can restore the life and energy of the human body. 🐍♠ 🍓👺
Troll's Blood is a potion that can regenerate the human body and improve its healing ability. Zul'ra gave the sample to several Goblins. They quickly determined the function of the drug and expressed their willingness to purchase the formula of Troll's Blood for a sum of money.
No matter how stupid he was, Zul'ra refused Goblins's request. He had no intention of just making a quick buck, but then he also ran into difficulties. He thought he was very authoritative in terms of alchemy technology. After all, not many people dared to taste a hundred herbs like him. But the question is, does technology represent the industry?
Trolls's alchemy is indeed top-notch, but in an exclusive and autistic society, Zul'ra doesn't even know much about the alchemy industry in the outside world. He doesn't understand the prices of raw materials for pharmaceuticals and the market prices of some pharmaceuticals. Doing business with Goblins will definitely suffer.
Thinking about the potential loss of a large sum of money, Zul'ra couldn't help but feel a little distressed. She took advantage of the conversation to ask Broken-Tooth for questioning. This matriarch was also a capable person. She had done research in Booty Bay and had seen the prices of some pharmaceuticals, but she had not seen much about the purchase price of pharmaceutical raw materials. However, she inquired about the sales of pharmaceuticals.
Based on the prices of various medicines given by Broken-Tooth, Zul'ra made a mental estimate. The lowest price to make money in business is half the selling price. The cost includes raw materials and manual work. In fact, manual work can be ignored. The raw materials are roughly the cost price. Zul'ra estimated a rough price based on the different medicines and the rarity of each raw material.
He doesn't know how much he might lose, so Zul'ra has to ensure that he earns as much as possible. After taking away the costs, okay! In fact, his costs are negligible. Plants, trees and medicines are basically grown in the ground. He has planted a lot, but he has to have an approximate price in mind.
Keeping his mind on the prices of various medicines, Zul'ra went on to introduce them to Goblins. In addition to Troll's Blood, Goblins also liked several medicines. His idea was to buy out the formula in one fell swoop, and even asked Zul'ra to sign a contract to ensure that within a certain period of time in the future, only Mardi Alchemy Company would have this formula.
Faced with Goblins's unreasonable demands, Zul'ra naturally refused to consider them and refused them. After being rejected, Goblinss made another request, asking for Zul'ra provides the formula, and they build factories in certain trading towns of Booty Bay or Steamwheedle Cartel. The ownership of the factory is shared by everyone, and the sales profits are also shared.
The idea of mutual profit sounds very good. After Zul'ra thought about it for a moment, he still refused. Why, because he knew that the competition in the alchemy industry was huge, not only between humans and Elves, but also between Goblins's own chaebol companies, so why couldn't he strive for more benefits?
Although the alchemy industry is extremely competitive, there is still no need to worry about selling potions, because not only adventurers, but also big forces like Alliance and Horde will order in bulk, especially Horde, during the First and Second World Wars, Orcs of Horde ordered a large amount of oils and mixtures from Steamwheedle Cartel because of the lack of spellcasters.
Goblins The profits made by several major chaebols during the two wars of the Alliance and Horde were mostly created by pharmaceuticals, weapons, ships, food, etc. They even went to participate in the war themselves, but as a result they suffered a lot of losses.
In addition to not having to worry about sellers, Zul'ra also has an advantage, that is, he feels that Trolls's potion is a scorpion daddy, which is unique to him. The life potions made by humans and Elves can only restore or increase vitality.
Vitality and injuries are related to each other, but they are not directly related. Increasing vitality can reduce the impact of injuries on people, but it cannot completely treat wounds. Most of the injuries of humans and Elves must be treated by Priest's spells.
Not only the effect of the potion, but also the source of the potion is the scorpion daddy. Zul'ra is very familiar with the Trolls clan. Except for his Amani, other Trolls clans and organizations will never share voodoo knowledge with foreign tribes, or provide large amounts of potions to foreign tribes.
After gathering his advantages, Zul'ra negotiated with Goblins in an orderly manner. Not only did he propose that he would only sell finished medicines, but he also doubled the price he originally expected. After all, this was still a negotiation. He would raise the price on the ground and pay back the money on the ground. Furthermore, he was not afraid if the negotiation collapsed.
Faced with the transaction method proposed by Zul'ra, Goblins did not reply immediately. Instead, they suppressed the unit price of the medicine. These little guys were very active in matters related to money. They listed various reasons to lower the price., for example, the treatment of Troll's Blood can only be profitable in large-scale wars. Now that Horde has been defeated and Alliance is in power, the sales volume of those medicines is destined to be poor, so they will not spend too much money to purchase them.
Regarding Goblins's counter-offer, Zul'ra was naturally unfazed. It happened to be that the situation outside Battleaxe Ridge had changed, and the food had begun to mature. He asked for a leave from the Goblins representative who was negotiating, and then went to supervise the work.
Zul'ra asked all the craftsmen except the shipyard to stop working, and the soldiers took turns to stand upside down, keeping their weapons close to their bodies. Everyone devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the harvesting movement. All the grain that took half a month to be collected was harvested within a week, and a new round of sowing was arranged.
Fortunately, there are natural insurances for Battleaxe Ridge outside, otherwise the rush to harvest would not have been so easy to succeed. After Zul'ra left the subsequent autumn sowing arrangements to Haimuxi, he returned to the negotiation table with Goblins.
Those little guys were extremely persistent when it came to money. Zul'ra felt that maybe the price he offered was too high. After the price only stayed at the estimated amount and could not be increased, he felt like agreeing to them. But when he thought about it, he was wrong. The price stopped somewhere wrong, and it stopped at the amount he estimated.
Feeling that something was wrong, Zul'ra immediately found another excuse to stop the negotiation and went to the Battleaxe Ridge front line for inspection. After waiting for three days and returning to Zul'Aman, those Goblins couldn't stand it any longer. They raised the price by half, but they required Almond Coin to be used as payment, and also proposed a series of contracts, requiring Amani to provide a certain amount of goods in the next ten years, and to ensure that others could not get the supply of medicines.
Goblins's contract requirements are very unreasonable. Zul'ra naturally cannot agree to it. You must know that Amani is not the only one who knows how to adjust this potion. Other races are indeedThere are very few people who know how to prepare medicine, but Gurubashi, Sandfury and Darkspear can do it. Would those Trolls come to him after selling the medicine?
Not only is it a matter of supply channels, but Zul'ra also vetoes the supply quantity and supply time of medicines. Amani now has very limited land for growing herbal medicines, which requires a large amount of food. It also needs to be prepared for unscheduled disasters. It has a certain supply of supplies for the next five years at most. At the same time, Amani can only ensure that its supply of supplies is not leaked out, and does not care about anything else.
Thank you for the reward that beats the book shortage, and thank you for your support.
