Chapter 236: Business is a win-win situation
All of what Amber said was aimed at small and medium-sized nobles. Their entire family assets might only be enough for a bottle of youth potion, which was something out of their reach. However, this weakened version of the youth potion that could only last for a few days was a good thing that everyone was eager to get.
After listening to Amber Xiu, many people thought it made sense. They had previously thought that it was only sold to wealthy noble ladies. After all, women are very generous in order to be young and beautiful. They had never thought that it could be used in this way. From this point of view, all noble families should keep a few bottles of this medicine in case of emergency.
If advertised well, this magic potion could even be touted as the key to whether a family would prosper or decline.
Endel Mark shouted quickly: "Nine hundred gold coins! I'll give you nine hundred gold coins per bottle!"
This shout immediately aroused the competitive spirit of others. After another round of bidding, the wholesale price of this magic potion soared to 1,200 gold coins.
But after getting here, everyone began to hesitate. The price went up a few gold coins at a time. Finally, Master Mark won the agency rights of the youth potion at a price of 1,280 gold coins.
Endel Mark said to Amber Xiu proudly: "I'm so sorry, although you have better vision than me, it seems that our Mark family has more financial resources."
Ender Mark was very jealous of Amberxiu because this man was younger and more handsome than him, and the target of the potion sales he just pointed out was also something Ender Mark had never expected.
How could this guy be so much better than me?
But it doesn't matter, his family is rich.
There has never been a shortage of smart people in this world, but most of them cannot break free from the shackles of class. Just like now, this person knows that the opportunity in front of him can make a fortune, but the money is not enough, so he can only watch others make money.
Endel Mark said to Amber Xiu with the attitude of a winner: "I warn you, if you are a little smart, don't just want to show off. If you hadn't expressed your opinion just now, you would probably have won 800 gold coins instead of what happened now. Not only did you lose the opportunity, but you also told me how to make more money."
Amber Xiu said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, you are right. I hope you can earn more."
Endel Mark frowned and felt like he had punched the air. Why wasn't this guy in a hurry at all?
Pretending? It doesn't look like that. The guy smiled as if he had made a fortune.
Just when Endel Mark was confused, the much-anticipated Miss Isabel came up to the two of them. Endel Mark thought Isabel was here to talk to him, after all, from now on, he and Isabel were in a cooperative relationship.
This young alchemy genius is very beautiful, and Endel Mark really has a great affection for her. If he can marry her home, then wouldn't this potion be his own?
In fact, all the bidders thought so. After finding out that Isabel was still single, these nobles sent their best children to her, hoping to get both money and life. And now, Endel Mark had the upper hand.
Endel Mark was about to greet Isabel and invite her to dinner, but he heard Isabel respectfully say to the young man he had just ridiculed: "Teacher, you are finally back."
"teacher?!"
Not only did Endel Mark widen his eyes, but everyone else found it incredible.
This young man who looked about 17 or 18 years old was Miss Isabel's teacher? ! What kind of teacher? It couldn't be an alchemy teacher, right? Amber smiled and said to Isabel, "You did a good job. I was shocked. But let's talk about the past later. Business matters should take priority."
Seeing the two men's happy expressions, Ender Mark said excitedly, "Are you guys teaming up to deceive me? I won't admit the result of the bidding just now!"
Finding one's own people to act as a sting is indeed a problem, and it makes sense for Endel Mark to want to go back on his word.
However, as soon as Endel Mark finished speaking, Amber said, "You are right. Let's do this. The previous bid is invalid. Now, who is willing to accept the price of 1,200 gold coins per bottle? We can sign the contract now."
As soon as Amber Xiu finished speaking, several young masters of the families who had failed in the bidding immediately agreed loudly.
"One thousand two hundred gold coins, our Osman family wants them!"
"One thousand two hundred and thirty gold coins!"
…
The scene once again turned into a bidding war, which made Endel Mark feel as sick as if he had eaten a fly.
This is also the reason why Amberxiu doesn't care. This magic potion is not fake. The effect is demonstrated to them. The market is not fake either. Regardless of whether Amberxiu is a spy or not, what he said is true. Whoever can get the agency rights will naturally make a fortune.
It was Endel Mark who ridiculed Amber Xiu just now, not them. Being slapped in the face had nothing to do with these young masters. Naturally, making a fortune first was the most important thing. Who cares if Endel Mark is willing or not? If it were any other time, Endel Mark would have walked away. He would rather not make the money, but he had to take care of his face first.
However, the Mark family couldn't miss this deal.
The Alchemy City was destroyed, and alchemy became a demon that could "destroy the world", so alchemy products have been unsalable for a long time. As Amber said, the world cannot completely leave alchemy, but this recovery will take time.
Will it get better in two months?
The Mark family can't wait for two months.
They were originally a family that mainly engaged in the transportation of alchemy potions, unlike other nobles who mainly engaged in the production of territories. The impact of the unsold potions on their Mark family was much more serious. Their funds were almost at the bottom. If this continued, they would have to sell even the family castle, and sell the land together.
For a family, selling land is tantamount to suicide.
Therefore, no matter how much hatred Endel Mark had in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Sorry, I was too reckless just now. I am willing to accept the result of the bidding, 1,280 gold coins per bottle. Let's sign the contract."
Amberxiu glanced at Endel Mark. He really didn't expect that this young master Mark could endure it. He thought that this man would get angry and attack directly. In that case, he could capture him and ask for compensation from the Mark family.
"Oh, how can I let Master Mark suffer a loss? I was indeed rude. Let's set the price at 1,250 gold coins. These 30 gold coins are my apology."
Endel Mark was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Ah? Are you serious?"
"Of course, when doing business, it's all about win-win. Only when everyone makes money together can we succeed in the long run," said Amber Xiu.
Endel Mark immediately felt that Amber was much more pleasing to his eyes. Although it was only a concession of thirty gold coins, this tiny profit in a sales channel could sometimes determine whether one made a profit or a loss.
The Mark family now needs to think of every possible way to solve the economic crisis. This potion is an opportunity for them to turn things around. The price reduction of 30 gold coins will increase their chances of turning things around.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The feeling of being slapped in the face disappeared, and Endel Mark felt that he was too stingy. After all, he was the one who took the initiative to provoke from the beginning. Not only was Amberxiu not angry, he also gave him a discount. What a broad mind he had.
As expected of Miss Isabel's teacher, she has a broad vision.
Endel Mark happily signed the contract with Ambersu without even reading the terms carefully, so he did not realize that his sales agency rights were limited to the scope of the old kingdom of Alchemy City.
In other words, the sales agency rights in other parts of the mainland are still in the hands of Amberxiu.
After finishing this matter, Amber asked the maid Cardina, who had turned into a young girl, to send the people away, and then went to the alchemy laboratory in the castle with Isabel.
Amber Xiu sat in his chair naturally, and then said to Isabel: "Sit down, there is no one else here now, tell me what happened during this period."
Isabel looked at Amber and felt a complicated yet reassuring feeling.
It was only after Amber left that she realized that the castle ghost was actually the same person as the Lich Master, because after Amber left, she never saw her "teacher" again.
She actually complained about her work in front of the "teacher". Now when she thought about it, she felt like an idiot and was so embarrassed that she dug her feet into the ground.
When Amberxiu started bidding, Isabel had already recognized him, but Amberxiu's voice sounded in her ears reminding her to cooperate with his performance.
Isabel immediately realized that her teacher was going to cheat people again, so she cooperated with his performance very attentively. As expected, Master Mark was deceived by the teacher and turned from an enemy to a loyal partner.
It's really amazing, just like before.
"Teacher, after you left, I thought about how much money I needed to maintain the castle, so I thought about using alchemy to make money..."
Isabel carefully told Amber about her experiences during this period.
In fact, it is not complicated to explain. Amber only left a small amount of alchemical materials for Isabel, and a part of the skeleton troops for self-protection.
There was not a single gold coin, so Isabel had to work hard to earn money on her own.
Isabel was frustrated that the ordinary alchemy potions were unsalable, and then suddenly one day, she found some strange substances in a corner of the castle, which was the kind of mucus with white spots.
Perhaps it was Isabel's luck that she came. She used mice to test the effect of the mucus and found that it had the effect of rejuvenating. Isabel was shocked and tried to use her alchemy to refine it. After many experiments, she finally created a formula with a relatively stable effect.
"Things in the castle? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Amberxiu was shocked. Is there such a good thing in his castle?
Isabel brought Amber to the place where the slime appeared. Looking at the strange orange slime, Amber suddenly felt that this place looked a little familiar.
Amber Xiu quickly remembered, isn't this the teleportation array that connects to the sewers of the Alchemy City? At that time, I wanted to let the slime fall into the trap, so I left this teleportation array. What is this thing that is teleporting over? (End of this chapter)
