The Company Gets on Track and Turns a Large Profit
"For that method of creating landscapes using imagery to be practically applied, it would take at least a year, and only those with Late Qi Refining cultivation would have a chance."
Wang He nodded after listening. It seemed that she had indeed studied the materials on these two spiritual plant cultivation techniques diligently, otherwise she wouldn't have these insights.
Therefore, he comforted her, "There's no need to rush. Just as you said, improving your cultivation and spiritual attainment is the most important thing."
"Don't try to do everything yourself. Cultivate a few talented and capable assistants, have intelligent oversight, and delegate authority where necessary."
After giving him a few instructions, he then rode the wind to the Huolian Area of Jiaomu University.
This place was specially designed by Jiaomu University to guide the earth fire, arrange and construct the buildings and terrain for refining weapons and alchemy, and provide them for the use of the university's teachers and students.
As soon as he entered the middle area, some passing students recognized him and quickly greeted him.
"Senior Brother Wang He!"
"Master Wang He!"
Wang He nodded in response and headed straight for District 6.
This is a small alchemy area rented by the company from the school. If [Cultivation Spirit Source] Company weren't run by its own students, Jiaomu University wouldn't have rented it out to outsiders.
Upon entering Zone A6, one sees Xiao Huoyu instructing three alchemists to operate a three-meter-tall cauldron and refine the Yin and Yang Primordial Nourishing Pill.
This kind of low-grade elixir is perfect for cultivators who have just entered the Qi Refining, as it helps them accelerate their cultivation and cultivate their Essence Qi.
Not only can it reduce the damage caused by excessive external Primordial Qi entering the body, but it can also strengthen the body's foundation and nourish its vital energy, subtly enhancing physical strength. It can be considered a mainstream cultivation elixir.
Xiao Huoyu keenly sensed someone entering and was about to greet Wang He when he saw it, but he was quickly stopped to avoid disturbing the alchemist controlling the furnace.
Ten minutes later, the flames in one of the alchemy furnaces gradually diminished, the pills were finished being made, and a faint fragrance of pills wafted in the air.
Twenty-four black and white, crystalline pills flew out and landed one by one in the sealed pill bottle that had been prepared beforehand.
Seeing that everything was in order, Wang He nodded in satisfaction and then chatted with Xiao Huoyu to learn more about the details.
"Senior Brother Wang, the alchemy area at school is nice, but it's too small."
"Our company can only rent a small alchemy area with three alchemy furnaces. There are many limitations if we want to expand production in the future."
"This is just a transitional phase for us. We will definitely build our own alchemy area later, it shouldn't be long."
"Has the Supreme Yin Osmanthus Medicinal Powder been made yet? How are the sales?"
Xiao Huoyu knew that this was just a temporary measure for the company, and the fact that she brought it up now was to urge them to expand production as soon as possible.
As a manager, having subordinates to rely on made him feel quite pleased for a while.
"It's finished, and it's already listed for sale on the Azure Dragon Planetary System's online trading market. We've also invited several teachers from the school to try it out, and the feedback has been quite positive."
"If production continues to expand, we should be able to make a name for ourselves very quickly."
After learning about the process, Wang He exchanged ideas with several alchemists for a while before leaving to go to the company office area he rented outside Jiaomu University.
This is the area where the finance, sales, and purchasing departments are located.
Of course, now that we live in an interstellar society, most of the work has been delegated to intelligent agents.
Therefore, each department only has one or two people, whose main role is to coordinate with the two major production departments of spiritual plants and alchemy, and to handle unified procurement and sales.
Finances are handled directly by his personal AI, [Jade Rabbit].
Wang He toured the area and found that the entire office area was no more than 100 square meters, plus a 200-square-meter warehouse.
Upon arriving at his own office area, he saw a white rabbit with red eyes projected holographically onto his desk, realistically verifying purchase orders and transferring funds.
As soon as he entered, the Jade Rabbit stood up, bowed and scraped, and greeted him with a fawning expression.
"Master, you've arrived. Would you like to review the sales and procurement figures for the past few days?"
Wang He shook his head and instead inquired about the current profitability and the company's balance.
The intelligent agent Jade Rabbit solemnly reports.
"Currently, our [Cultivation Spirit Source] company is involved in the market for elixirs and spiritual medicines."
"Selling two types of low-grade pills, one type of mid-grade pill, one type of high-grade medicinal powder; four types of low-grade spiritual herbs, and two types of low-grade spiritual plants. A total profit of 203,480 yuan crystals has been made in the past week."
In the Human Federation's Azure Dragon Planetary System, the market for spiritual items at the Qi Refining stage varies by about tenfold between the early, middle, and late stages, with higher-grade items being more precious.
If the market price of a cultivation-accelerating pill in the early stage of ordinary Qi Refining is around ten Yuan Crystals, then it's one hundred in the middle stage and one thousand in the late stage.
This is the price for a single pill; if it were a magical artifact, it would be at least ten times the price of a pill of the same grade.
The company made a profit of over 200,000 yuan right after it started operating, which is not bad, especially considering that employee salaries haven't been deducted yet.
Wang He did a quick calculation in his mind and figured that after deducting salary and bonuses, there should still be a profit of around 150,000 yuan.
If cultivators outside the sect were to learn of this profitability, it would surely cause a huge uproar.
You should know that other companies of similar size are lucky if they make a profit of tens of thousands of yuan a week.
Since the cultivation techniques and alchemy methods used in [Cultivation Spirit Source] were created by Wang He, there was no need to pay patent fees, and with the support of the Huolian Area of Jiaomu University, a large amount of costs were saved.
In addition, his pills and elixirs are much more effective than similar products, and their prices are only 20-30% higher than the market price, so he naturally has no worries about sales.
Of course, this is also thanks to the Human Federation's monitoring of intelligent agents and Purple Mansion cultivators.
The cultivation resource market is transparent, so even if someone loses a share, no one will lose their mind and resort to illegal means.
Intelligent agents scour the network, and even powerful cultivators can observe changes in Qi Destiny; no cultivator force has yet escaped their surveillance.
In the old era or in his previous life, any situation that damaged the interests of a large corporation would immediately result in a devastating blow.
Because the currencies of the extraordinary social hierarchy cannot circulate or be divided among themselves, even if it involves Dao Foundation or Purple Mansion forces, no one cares.
Qi Refining level Yuan Crystal cannot be exchanged for First Tier Dao Foundation Spirit Yuan Crystal, and First Tier Spirit Yuan Crystal cannot be exchanged for Second Tier Purple Mansion Law Primordial Crystal.
The same applies to cultivation resources, magical artifacts, spiritual weapons, and magical treasures.
High-level cultivators don't need this; the extraordinary society is categorized by strength, so there are naturally no instances of certain dimensional reduction attacks.
After listening to the Jade Rabbit's report, he then gave his orders.
"Take a look around Jiaomu University and find suitable plots of land near them for our company to expand our alchemy production and build an alchemy factory."
"Also, it needs to be located near high-grade spiritual lands to facilitate the company's collection and cultivation of spiritual plants and herbs."
"You should manage the rental; don't invest too much at the beginning, expand and develop it little by little."
The Jade Rabbit nodded, its two snow-white rabbit ears swaying.
After explaining some of the company's development strategies, he returned to Cool Peak at Jiaomu University to continue his cultivation.
Meanwhile, within the Heavenly River Dao Palace, Wang An's Inner Scene Grotto-Heaven underwent a dramatic transformation.
