He Pingsheng smiled. "Senior Red Moon, I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean by telling me all this!"
"Besides, the pills I sell here now are all reasonably priced third-grade pills. I rarely sell first- or second-grade pills anymore!"
"That's precisely the problem!" Red Moon said. "Actually, if you sold first- and second-grade pills, there wouldn't be an issue!"
"Third-grade pills are expensive, and they're all used by Golden Core Stage cultivators!"
"They're also our trading company's main source of profit!"
"Your pills are good quality, but your prices aren't high!"
"As a result, you're not only taking business away from the trading companies, you're also driving down pill prices throughout Redstone City!"
"That's... rather hard to justify!"
He Pingsheng did not answer.
He knew his prices were low.
Normally, a batch of high-grade [Essence-Gathering Pills] would cost between roughly 1.5 million and 1.8 million spirit stones.
Yet he sold them for only 1.2 million.
Even at that price, his pots and bowls were overflowing with profit.
Red Moon continued, "Of course, strictly speaking, our trading company has no grounds to criticize how you price your pills, Fellow Daoist Xu. But this time, I'm not just representing the Red Moon Trading Company. I'm also representing Redstone City's City Lord's Manor!"
"If this continues, it won't be good for anyone!"
"So, I have a suggestion!"
She looked at He Pingsheng.
He Pingsheng nodded. "Please, let me hear it!"
Red Moon said, "First, stop selling the high-grade [Essence-Gathering Pills] you refine through your own trading company!"
"Sell them to our Red Moon Trading Company instead. You currently sell each batch for 1.2 million, and we can buy them for that same price!"
"As for the middle-grade and low-grade pills, you can keep selling them here!"
"What do you think?"
