Chapter 928 - 480: No One on Canglan Star Is Richer Than You
Several seconds passed.
Only then did a representative break the silence and say something with a certain streetwise flair: "Miss Ling, why don’t you draw a line for us!"
Ling Shuiling glanced at the other party and then began to speak leisurely.
"As a Civilization Foundation Level item, the ’Body Tempering Liquid’ produced from mutated passion fruit will sooner or later become a standard for every Canglan person, meaning every Canglan person will definitely take it.
"According to Chairman Yang’s research, the effectiveness of Body Tempering Liquid decreases sequentially. By the seventh dose, the effect is very poor.
"Nevertheless, the effect of multiple doses is far superior to a single one, and three doses offer the best value for money.
"However, considering that some people have a stronger willingness to consume, they might purchase five or even six doses.
"We’ve done estimates; the average Canglan person will take 4.5 doses of Body Tempering Liquid, creating an unprecedentedly huge consumption market."
These representatives listened, eyes gleaming.
Before the Age of Calamity, Canglan Star had a total population of 12.6 billion.
This world was ravaged by various disasters for over three years, and according to incomplete statistics, the population is now estimated to be just over 10 billion.
This means that one in six people died, a shockingly high death rate.
According to the most conservative estimates, only half of the current population will take the Body Tempering Liquid, which means 5 billion people.
Calculating at 4.5 doses per person, this results in a colossal demand of 22.5 billion doses.
A middle-aged representative with gray hair couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Ling, what is the estimated price of the Body Tempering Liquid?"
Ling Shuiling did not conceal anything: "The cultivation process of the mutated passion fruit trees is complex and costly. Some raw materials involve resources from the Sobbing Green Sea, so the price of the dose won’t be too low; it should be around 10,000 apiece."
The middle-aged man smacked his lips: "I think the price is a bit low."
Many people nodded in agreement.
Some even whispered, "5,000 per dose is more reasonable."
Ling Shuiling shook her head: "Chairman Yang created the Body Tempering Liquid not for personal gain but to enhance the overall strength of civilization. How could the price be too high?"
The middle-aged man nodded: "Alright, 10,000 is a reasonable price."
Ling Shuiling "drew" the first "line": "Chairman Yang and I don’t intend to ask for exorbitant prices, so the valuation of Celestial Star Agriculture is calculated at 150 trillion, which is an important premise for this discussion."
The middle-aged man’s mind quickly calculated and he quickly spoke: "Based on the basic need of 22.5 billion doses, the sales revenue is roughly 225 trillion.
"In addition, there is the incremental demand from the newborn population.
"Currently, the number of births on Canglan Star is not high, but disasters will eventually pass. It is expected that 200 million people will be born each year in 10 years.
"Similarly, calculating at 4.5 doses per person, the newborn population can bring a demand of 900 million doses annually, with this part of the sales revenue being 9 trillion.
"If we assume the profit margin is 30%, the profit from the basic sales revenue of 225 trillion is 67.5 trillion, and the newborn population can bring an annual profit of 2.7 trillion."
The middle-aged man had originally intended to haggle over the price.
But the more he calculated, the more he felt that not only was the valuation of 150 trillion not high, but it was actually quite cheap.
After all, Celestial Star Agriculture has a huge business, not just the Body Tempering Liquid, but a large amount of bestselling products.
The middle-aged man finally nodded: "Although the valuation is a bit high, I don’t have much objection."
Others followed suit.
"I agree!"
"I have no objections either!"
Based on the calculation of 150 trillion, this was indeed a huge profit, so everyone was willing to sit down and discuss it.
Perhaps due to pregnancy leading to higher hormone levels and unstable emotions, Ling Shuiling suddenly became angry: "You people are really hypocritical and greedy."
The middle-aged man was a bit displeased hearing this: "Miss Ling, you are..."
Ling Shuiling directly interrupted: "Let me make it clear to you, for something like Body Tempering Liquid that can enhance life’s essence, how could the profit margin only be 30%?
"Moreover, you’ve only calculated sales on Canglan Star, totally disregarding the sales from civilization trade.
"Do you know how many Primordial Worlds are out there? If civilization trade is done well, selling 50 billion doses of Body Tempering Liquid a year is very simple.
"Chairman Yang valued Celestial Star Agriculture at 150 trillion to offer huge benefits, and you have the nerve to tell me ’the valuation is high’?"
The middle-aged man was a bit embarrassed and continued to defend himself: "Each civilization’s individuals are different; whether Body Tempering Liquid is effective for other civilizations is still unknown. Besides..."
"Bang!"
The secretary angrily slapped the table again.
She scolded harshly: "The Civilization Trade Committee came over for a visit this time, and they also consulted the Iron Fist People. The Iron Fist People’s preliminary assessment of the dose was quite positive. Do you think I’m unaware?"
The middle-aged man immediately fell silent.
Ling Shuiling touched her belly, a determined look on her beautiful face appeared: "Chairman Yang doesn’t care much about personal interests, but I have Chairman Yang’s twins in my belly.
"Besides, I’m still very young now and plan to have ten or eight children for Chairman Yang in the future. I must fight for more benefits for my children; even if Chairman Yang knew, he wouldn’t object."
The secretary directly raised the quotation: "I think the valuation of Celestial Star Agriculture at 150 trillion is too low; now, 300 trillion seems more reasonable."
The conference room was cold again.
The middle-aged man secretly regretted his glibness, directly offending Miss Ling.
This time, the negotiation fell into a deadlock, possibly resulting in a substantial cut of the final profits.
