Led by the steward, several people came to the second floor. Compared with the bustling first floor, there were obviously fewer people on the second floor.
The steward led the few people to a coffee table and then sat down respectfully opposite them.
"My surname is Zhang, you can call me Manager Zhang."
After saying that, he took out a large booklet and placed it on the coffee table, and also placed a set of paper and pen next to it.
"This is a catalog of our various medicinal powders. You can check it out and select your own. The minimum wholesale price is 50 packs, which is a few points lower than the retail price. Once you've made your selection, write it down on this piece of paper. I'll then register and order the goods for you."
Yu Duo picked up the booklet and several people immediately gathered around him. There was a rich variety of medicinal powders, including animal-repelling powders, healing powders, energy-boosting powders, and even magic-enhancing powders and magical beast breeding powders... There were countless of them.
Yu Duo first ordered a few commonly used medicinal powders, asked the steward to bring the samples over to take a look at the goods, and then asked for 1,000 copies of each.
Kong Qing also asked about the magic plants and planned to buy a few. The animal repellent powder in the swamp was almost used up, and this time he could follow Yu Duo to enjoy the wholesale price.
The steward completed the registration and put the form away.
"Dear guests, our store has sufficient supplies. We can prepare these medicinal powders and magic plants in half an hour. Do you have any other needs?"
After the steward finished speaking, he saw Kong Qing pick up a packet of medicine powder, sniff it through his nose, and then shook his head, feeling very strange.
"Old man, is there something wrong?"
Kong Qing smiled.
"There's nothing wrong with it, I just think this animal repellent powder isn't potent enough."
Hearing this, the young steward felt a little disdainful, but still smiled professionally.
"These beast-repelling powders can directly repel level three magical beasts. Other high-level magical beasts won't come near them once they smell them. How can you say they're ineffective?"
"It seems that this is true. We can only drive away level 3 monsters."
The young manager was shocked. The powder that could repel level three monsters was only available at Jishi Pharmacy. The powders in other stores were not as good as this one. This old man was really good at bragging.
"Old man, you are knowledgeable and have seen a more powerful animal repellent powder?"
At this time, Yuan Jun jumped over, took out a bag of medicine powder and handed it to the steward.
"Level three is indeed too low. The powder I use is level five, and even the cold and heat ladybugs can't avoid it."
Although the steward was very skeptical, he still took the powder respectfully and smelled it under his nose.
A serious expression suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked, "Can I ask our manager to come and identify it? Maybe we can bring you some business."
Kong Qing nodded. This was exactly his purpose. He had been holding Xiao Lin back all along. If he could earn more magic crystals, it would also be helpful to Xiao Lin.
After a while, led by the steward, a fat man with big ears and a mustache appeared in front of everyone.
The man with a small mustache came over with a smile on his face, looking honest and cute. He bowed to everyone.
"My last name is Li, and I'm the general manager here. Xiao Zhang told me that this medicinal powder was made by you?"
"Our grandfather made it. I'm not bragging, it's a top-notch medicinal powder. I think there are few comparable ones in the entire Warcraft continent."
Manager Li smiled and said, "I'm not very talented, and I don't have much ability to distinguish medicinal herbs. Most of the magical plants in this bag of powder are similar to the beast repellent powder in our store. Only a few are different, but I can more or less tell them apart."
Yuan Jun thought, it’s over, my skills have been stolen before I even start doing business, this is too bad.
Several other people thought the same, but Kong Qing was the only one who looked confident.
"However, this powder has a unique flavor and contains a large amount of energy that magical beasts dislike and fear. Even if these magical plants were combined together, it would not be possible to produce such an effect."
"Manager Li is well versed in pharmacology, which is truly admirable. Indeed, these magical plants are not difficult to find, but their combination does not produce such an effect. The effect must be attributed to my ancestral secret recipe."
When it comes to secret recipes, it's a big business, so Manager Li immediately made a gesture of invitation.
"Please move to the third floor for further discussion."
So a few people went up to the third floor in a mighty manner. The third floor was divided into small pavilions. Manager Li led everyone into one of them, where someone had prepared tea and placed it on the table.
Manager Li asked his servants to bring over a level four three-eyed demon cat, then took out Kong Qing's animal repellent powder. Before he put it in front of the cat, the cat screamed and ran away quickly.
Manager Li was very satisfied and got straight to the point after sitting down.
"Old man, how about 100 medium-density magic crystals to buy your secret recipe?"
Cang Lin, who had experienced many storms, was very dissatisfied with this number, and Kong Qing just waved his hand.
“Sorry, I don’t sell secret recipes.”
"Old man, the price is negotiable. How about 300 yuan?"
Kong Qing continued to shake his head, but Cang Lin continued, "I won't sell it no matter how much money you pay. This is our family's secret recipe, passed down from generation to generation, not from generation to generation, and not from family members to outsiders."
Manager Li looked regretful.
"It seems that the secret recipe is not for sale anymore. Do you want to sell the powder directly?
You know, ordinary beast-repelling powder is enough for people to use. No one would bother with even the most advanced monsters. High-end powders don't sell very well. If you sell powders, the monthly supply won't be large, so you won't make much money. It's better to sell secret recipes and solve the problem once and for all."
Kong Qing said: "It's not that I don't sell the secret recipe, it's mainly because this is a skill passed down from my ancestors. Without my ancestors' bloodline, it's impossible to make medicine."
After hearing this, Manager Li suddenly realized what was going on and felt very sorry.
"In that case, I hope you can sign a sales contract with us and sell the powder to us, but I hope it will only be sold to me. I wonder if Senior Kong would agree?"
"How much is it?"
"Our ordinary animal repellent powder costs 10 low-density magic crystals, and we sell it for 15. Senior Kong, I can give you 20. This is my sincerity."
Indeed, the price is reasonable, but it is not a good idea to create a monopoly.
"If we only sell to you, isn't that a bit too cheap? I guess we should go ask the next store."
Manager Li immediately stopped everyone.
"Okay, okay, how about 30?"
"50"
“Isn’t this price a bit too high?”
"Think about it, you're the only one with high-grade beast repellent powder. The entire Warcraft Continent is yours alone. Not to mention 50 low-density magic crystals. If you need them urgently, they're in high demand."
Manager Li thought it made sense and immediately made a decision to buy the animal repellent powder at a unit price of 50 low-density magic crystals.
Cang Lin then negotiated the price.
"The magic plants needed for this powder are also very valuable. 50 is just the processing fee. Apart from the secret formula, the other magic plants will need to be provided by your expensive pharmacy."
Manager Li's eyes widened. He had seen people bargaining like crazy, but he had never seen people who became more shameless as they bargained.
