Chapter 423 Making a fortune
Dr. Xu said calmly, "You don't understand. Scar removal cream is a good thing, especially for girls who care a lot about their appearance. They're willing to spend any amount of money on it."
It wasn't just the girls; many young men also felt very uncomfortable having a scar on their body.
Doctor Xu has connections, so he might not be able to sell many copies in Jiangyuan County, but what about Dong'an Prefecture? What about Lehe Prefecture? What about the capital?
Of course, he can't reach the capital yet, but the orders from just two prefectures are enough to make him laugh in his dreams.
Shu Yu smiled and continued looking at the ledger. Dr. Xu's business was all about volume; only in the early stages were there small, scattered sales, and later on, all orders came from distributors.
The monthly ledger wasn't complicated, and Shu Yu quickly flipped to the end.
Even though she was somewhat prepared, she was still taken aback when she saw the final accounting figures.
After seeing that she had finished her examination, Doctor Xu took out several silver notes from his pocket. "Here, this is your share, one thousand taels. I'll round it up for you; you're still short three taels and five mace, which will be deducted from next month's share."
Shu Yu pressed her fingers, telling herself to stay calm. She was a woman who had seen the world, how could she be intimidated by a mere thousand taels?
But... I'm so happy! A thousand taels of silver—this is the largest sum of money she's ever received in this world.
Damn, how come this ointment is so profitable?
She only received half a percent, which means that in this month, Dr. Xu earned 20,000 taels of silver.
She had originally thought that Dr. Xu would price the scar removal cream at ten or twenty taels, but he set it at thirty or fifty taels. No wonder he's the kind of ruthless man who charges her fifteen taels of silver just for setting her father's bone.
If we remove the negligible costs, wouldn't Dr. Xu be making a killing?
Shu Yu sighed, "I'm starting to regret selling you the formula."
Dr. Xu's eyes widened. "We signed an agreement."
Shu Yu couldn't help but laugh. "Dr. Xu, you called me mercenary, but look how anxious you were just now. Don't worry, am I the kind of person who goes back on my word? Although this scar removal cream is profitable, I know very well that only someone with your connections and status can sell this cream at a good price."
She was just making a comment, wasn't she?
Moreover, while there have been many orders this month, that may not be the case in the future. After all, these are not everyday items, and the prices are high, so the market may gradually stabilize over time.
Shu Yu accepted the thousand taels of silver, and the disappointment she felt last night instantly turned into sunshine again.
Dr. Xu took a couple more sips of tea, then got up and said, "Alright, I've brought you the money. I'll head back now."
He's quite busy now. Before, there weren't many patients at the clinic, so he had a lot of free time. But now it's different; he has big orders now.
Dr. Xu left with a cheerful smile and then went to examine Lu Erbai's leg.
Shu Yu was still sitting on the stone bench, holding a thousand-tael silver note in his hand, and let out a long sigh.
After a while, she got up, tidied up the tea set on the table, washed the cups, and came out.
Upon entering the lobby, Shu Yu saw Lu Erbai with his head down, carving something.
She walked over quietly, but Lu Erbai still heard her footsteps. He looked up and smiled at her, "You're out?"
"Dad, what are you carving?" Shu Yu leaned forward, looking at the carving knife in his hand.
Lu Erbai finished fixing the last few minor details, then let go of her hand and handed it over, "Want to try it?"
