Gu Xi: "Didn't you ever think about hoarding or destroying things to maintain prices like capitalists do?"
She asked this question out of genuine curiosity, because everyone knows that capitalists would rather destroy goods than let prices fall.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Yiming burst out laughing upon hearing this.
Sun Yiming: "Sister Xi, this isn't some world controlled by capital. Everyone is already short of resources, there's no currency, and the circulation of goods is very poor. Plus, the value of goods can change at any time. What you treasure today might be worthless tomorrow."
Speaking of this, Gu Xi could relate. After all, she had exchanged a lot of timber with him just two days ago, but who knew that she would have more timber than she could use as soon as she arrived on the island.
Sun Yiming: "So I set this price, partly to speed up the circulation of goods, and partly to ensure that those who truly need them can obtain what they need. In the long run, business can only continue if there are people. Without people, no matter how much stuff you have, it's all empty talk. People are also a resource."
Gu Xi recalled the outrageous prices when she first entered the trading channel. After seeing them, she had no intention of trading at all. Therefore, to complete the transaction quickly, she needed to find the right target and a suitable price.
No wonder Sun Yiming was able to quickly open 8 trading positions; there was this factor involved.
On the other hand, Sun Yiming is not a heartless businessman; his pricing is indeed based on affordability.
After figuring this out, Gu Xi finally decided not to raise prices.
Gu Xi: "I'll give you 50 bottles of cold medicine, the price is the same as before, you can sell them yourself."
Upon hearing "50", Sun Yiming was overjoyed. He had thought that Gu Xi would be lucky to give him 10, but he didn't expect her to give him 50.
Honestly, most cold medicines are needed by ordinary people. Those who are financially well-off have already planned out strategies to cope with heavy rain and are unlikely to catch a cold, so they don't need much medicine.
Although 50 doses of cold medicine are a drop in the ocean for everyone in District 2333, it's better than nothing.
Sun Yiming: "Sister Xi, you're so kind. If you ever need anything, just let me know! I, Sun Yiming, will never refuse to do anything I can."
Gu Xi felt a little embarrassed by these words, after all, she had been thinking about raising prices just a few minutes ago, but she really did need Sun Yiming's help.
Gu Xi: "I have a new potion that I need to find a buyer for. Since it hasn't been made yet, I don't know its specific effects, but I can tell you that it's a potion that restores health. I'd like you to help me find a suitable person."
This is big news! Sun Yiming was already incredibly impressed with Gu Xi for being able to produce cold medicine, and now she's going to release a new medicine, one that restores health.
He reviewed his high-end client base and found that there was indeed one suitable person.
