Otherworldly White Dragon Lord

Chapter 461: Breakthrough in the Pharmacy Industry

"Your Excellency Lulu Xiu, are you planning to start in the medicine market."

"Yes~ This is why I asked you to purchase alchemy vessels and equipment related to the preparation of potions."

Lelouch nodded to indicate that Alissa's guess was correct.Almost all walks of life in the free city are in a state of saturation. It is very difficult for new merchants to gain a foothold in this city. If there is not a strong backstage and a fixed source of goods behind them, they want to be in the free city. Survival here is simply impossible.

The various rare materials and various precious metals that were originally brought from Ulduar City are the products that make the rare goods habitable. The source of Lelouch is naturally welcomed by many merchants. If Lelouch can continue to do so for a long time Liberty City provides these ultra-high-quality minerals and materials, so the various chambers of commerce in Liberty City will naturally welcome new chambers of commerce that can bring huge benefits to themselves.Of course, if this benefit has reached a terrifying level, then some merchants will choose to use some means to find out the other party's supply channels, and then replace the other party.Of course, considering the mystery of Lelouch's identity and the huge forces that might exist behind it, no one dared to touch this crooked mind for the time being, and now at most they are only collecting information about Lelouch to prepare for the next move.

On the contrary, if Lelouch stops the supply of goods and wants to become a part of the cake in the free city, then no matter what he does, he will not be popular, not to mention that there is no stable supply channel behind Lelouch, even if he can barely do it. Becoming one of them can only be in the dilemma of being squeezed by others for a long time.

Moreover, Ulduar City could not continue to provide goods to Lulu Xiu.After all, Yalin's goal for Lelouch to come to the free city was not to establish a single export channel to make money by selling things here. The ultimate goal is to establish a stronghold capable of autonomous hematopoietic circulation.

The main reason for choosing the pharmaceutical industry is that the market share of pharmaceuticals has not yet been fully saturated.A large part of the pharmaceutical market in the free city is controlled by the pharmacist association within the free city.Up to now, there are more than 300 pharmacists of different levels in the entire Pharmacists Association, who can supply more than 7,000 bottles of various medicines to the market every day.It’s just that the preparation of medicines in a different world has not realized the production of industrialized flow operations. Each bottle of medicine needs to be prepared by the pharmacist by hand, because each pharmacist has different levels of proficiency in the preparation of medicines and their purity. It is therefore very low.

In addition to the common antidote and therapeutic agents, the remaining advanced medicines are sold in a customized way by the association because there are too few experienced pharmacists that can be deployed.

In the consumer group, ordinary civilians probably cannot consume therapeutic agents.Occasionally, some hunters have a few bottles of antidote even as a special medicine for preventing venomous snakes and poisonous insects.In fact, the largest consumption of potions in the free city is always the mercenaries. After drinking in the battlefield, the healing potions that can quickly take effect and heal injuries are almost essential for everyone.There is not much time on the battlefield for you to slowly stitch up the wound and tie a bandage.In addition to mercenaries, the armies of various countries in the mainland will also mass-produce or purchase various medicines as military supplies. During the peak period of consumption of medicines, the free city consumed more than 20,000 bottles of various medicines every day, which is far beyond medicine. The output of the pharmacists under the Physician Association.

In addition to insufficient quantity, quality is also a big problem.Regardless of the purity of the medicine, the higher the better, the therapeutic medicine formulated by the apprentice certainly cannot be compared with the medicine formulated by the experienced pharmacist, even if the formula is put in front of both because the problem of proficiency lies in yield and quality. Everything is different.Healing potions with too low purity will be very slow to recover from injuries and may also cause some sequelae. Both mercenaries and soldiers hope to obtain potions with higher purity to ensure their superiority in battle. For this reason, some countries After purchasing pharmaceuticals from Free City, there are very strict purity requirements.

Although the Pharmacist Association monopolizes most of the sales, the monopoly is only due to the fact that there is no one but them in the free city to compete with it. Many self-employed pharmacists even want to open their own stores in the free city. When they are sold, they are more often suppressed by the Pharmacists Association or simply bought up to become a member of the Association.After all, the power of the entire pharmacist association cannot be underestimated in the free city, and the benefits it produces are far greater than those of individuals doing it alone.

"You don't need to worry about pharmacists. After we have set up the infrastructure and equipment here. There will be a group of senior pharmacists who will be free from the city." Lulu Xiu is not worried about the manpower issue at all.

When learned that the ancient gods of the Jarnold Mountains wanted to send a group of elven apothecaries to the Free City, Alisa was stunned: "It's no wonder that the alchemy room where the potion is deployed chooses such a hidden place, and it also spends a lot of money to customize it. Protective circle, Lord Lulu Xiu~ Are these all planned from the beginning?"

"Haha! I didn't make this plan deliberately, but at the beginning, there were several different sets of scripts to choose from. I just chose the most suitable set of scripts."

A group of elven apothecaries in Ulduar have already been trained.This batch of Frost Snow Elves was originally selected for the apothecary practice. As a system creature, each Frost Snow Elf has very good qualifications.In particular, Yalin’s order has almost completely lost sleep and food, and he is crazy about learning the knowledge of potion preparation, and has also undergone special intensive training by Medea. Among the selected Frost Snow Elf Pharmacists There are at least three master pharmacists and one senior master pharmacist.The purity of the material medicine can be blended to a purity of more than 80%, and the senior master-level wizard pharmacists in the high-level medicine can already formulate the true agility medicine and the true spirit medicine without sequelae!

Of course, considering the special status of the Frost and Snow Elves, Lulu Xiu built the alchemy room for the preparation of potions in a hidden basement. In some ways, it is like the underground system built by the drug dealers in the world of Yalin Plain. The poison factory is the same, but fortunately, the Frost Snow Elf as the summoning system creature has not yet caused them to produce negative emotions such as boredom and despair. As long as Yalin gives the order, the Frost Snow Elf will grant the order and will never violate it.

Alissa nodded: "In this case, I am afraid there will be some trouble in the Association of Pharmacists┉┉"

"I know." Lelouch asked with a strange expression that they didn't make trouble, "It's just Alissa, do you know what they might use?"

"Probably it is the old-fashioned violence or wooing method. If neither works, it will probably owe us necks in terms of materials." Alissa shrugged and said the methods most commonly used by almost all businessmen in Liberty City.

It's the old one!

Lulu Xiu didn't care about this way of making trouble at all. After hearing these methods, Bu Yani, the crystal dragon, laughed and showed off, violent means~ I am sorry to use this method in front of two giant dragons, it is pure death.The pharmacist who has been heavily wooed by the opposing party, it is a pity that Bu Yani thinks that no elves should dare to serve a mortal against the will of the White Dragon King, not to mention that the Association of Pharmacists does not even have the opportunity to see these elves.

As for the economic means, if the elven apothecary can dispense a higher-purity medicine, no one in this world except fools will do such a thing as buying a defective product at the same price.Not to mention that most of the users of the medicine are mercenaries who live the life of licking the blood with the knife head. Who doesn't want to buy more pure medicine, which can be used on the battlefield to save their lives.When the materials pinched their necks, Bu Yani and Lelouch's eyes fell on Alisa.

Alissa smiled confidently and said: "Please rest assured, Your Excellency Lulu Xiu, as long as you share a small part of the sales of the medicine to my family, I can guarantee that the Westphalian family will definitely be willing to provide you with everything. Required raw materials."

"What if the Association of Pharmacists exerts pressure?"

"No businessman would harm himself for the benefit of others. Our Westphalian family did not manage pharmaceutical sales not because they were afraid of the power of the Association of Pharmacists, but because there was really no solid supply of goods to compete with, even the family There are a few pharmacists trained in it, but the output cannot compete with the Association of Pharmacists at all. At best, it can only be regarded as adding a little product decoration to the family store."

The Westphalian family to which Alissa belongs is involved in a wide range of industries. This time, when he learned that Lulu Xiu had decided to start in the pharmacy market, he took advantage of the advantage of being near the water to win a small amount for his family. Part of the pharmaceutical sales right, and the price is that Alissa guarantees that her family will provide sufficient and preferential sources of materials.It is important to know that the profit of potions is inherently high. Both private mercenaries and king teams will use them in large quantities. The war between the Karthemian Empire and the Kingdom of Kresses caused the price of potions to skyrocket, and the Association of Pharmacists took this The opportunity to make a lot of money makes many people envy.Even in this relatively peaceful period, the medicine will still be stored as military supplies, and there will never be a large-scale drop in price.

Not only the Westphalian family, but the number of merchants in the entire free city who want to intervene in the pharmacy market does not know how many, but because the Association of Pharmacists firmly holds the control of pharmacists, there are no pharmacists who can dispense medicine. Merchants can only endure the exploitation of the Association of Pharmacists to become lower-level sellers.Now when there is an opportunity to break the monopoly of the Pharmacist Association, Alisa has naturally seized the opportunity as quickly as possible. While ensuring that the interests of her immediate boss are not harmed, this smart businesswoman is still I have taken care of my family more or less.

Of course, as far as Lelouch is concerned, as long as Alissa's behavior does not harm his plan, then he does not need to pour cold water on Alissa's "enthusiasm".

As a businessman, after all, a win-win situation is the best choice!(To be continued)
