Chapter 278 Business Action

Amber Xiu did not stand in front of the ice sculpture to watch, but went directly to Harvey.

Although there are distributors to help sell products, Amberxiu still needs to set up a store on the ground to stock stocks and conduct business negotiations.

Harvey is the manager of this shop. Amber Xiu casually said that he was here to discuss business and walked in easily.

Harvey was worrying about a pile of forms. These were all new orders. The ice sculpture promotion was very effective, so the orders for sunscreen came in like a sandstorm and filled up Harvey's desk.

The problem is that the underground factory does not have such strong productivity. After all, there is only one furnace in production, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the entire country.

Harvey hadn't figured out how to report to Amber yet, but he didn't expect the teacher to come up on his own.

Harvey quickly stood up to give his seat to the teacher and asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to inspect the progress of the work." Amber took a look at the order and said, "It seems that the results are good. The effect of this ice sculpture promotion is really good."

"It's not just that simple. Our sunscreen has already created a brand effect. The desert cities of the Dwarf Kingdom are ready to ask us for goods. However, we simply can't supply them all."

An Boxiu laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? We are the only one in the market now. If there is not enough goods, just let them wait. They are the ones who are anxious now. We just need to proceed step by step. Don't fantasize about increasing productivity when you see that the orders are booming.

"This brand effect is only temporary. The quantity written on the order this time was filled out mindlessly. There are only a few people in the desert. The quantity of these orders added up is enough for the entire kingdom to use for ten years. They filled the orders blindly because they were afraid that others would order all the sunscreen. If we expand production at this scale, we will suffer losses in the second year."

Amber Xiu had done the investigation a long time ago, and his production arrangements were also set according to the desert population. Perhaps it was a little conservative, but it was definitely not off by dozens of times.

What he wants is a long-term strategy to maintain the brand of "Alchemy God's Selection".

If you make a quick buck from a one-time burst of product, and then have too many products but no one wants them, the brand value will actually decrease.

Harvey seemed to understand what he said, but he had no talent for business, so he decisively suggested that Amber hire a professional.

Amber Xiu said, "How can it be so easy to find professionals? People who know how to do business are as smart as ghosts. Ninety-nine percent of them want to turn other people's business into their own business. Trustworthy and capable people are rarer than legends."

Harvey retorted, "Not really. You are asking too much. There are so many shops, it's impossible for all the bosses to run them all themselves. How did they hire such talented people in business?"

Although Harvey admired Amber Xiu very much, he also knew that his teacher rarely spoke the truth. When he wanted to do something, he exaggerated the difficulty, and when he ordered others to do something, he ignored the difficulty. He had very flexible standards, or no standards at all.

"Then I'll give this task to you. You'll be responsible for hiring people and selecting them. If there's any problem, it'll be your responsibility."

After Amber said this, Harvey knew that he had fallen into a trap again. The teacher had already calculated that he would refute and then threw the task of recruiting people on him.

This extremely high intensity of exploitation made Harvey feel like he was selling himself into slavery again.

But Harvey could only accept his fate, after all, his life was saved by his teacher.

"By the way, what's the matter with the ice sculpture?" asked Amber Xiu.

Harvey explained: "Oh, that's Junior Sister Isabel's skill. She made a special kind of ice cube according to your request. It looks like ice, feels cool to the touch, but melts very slowly."

"The melting speed is very slow?" Amber thought for a moment, then said, "Did they add a special condensing agent? But condensing agents are all colored, and it's impossible for them to be as transparent as ice."

Harvey exclaimed, "Teacher, you are amazing. You figured out the key point right away. Isabel did use a condensing agent, but I don't understand how to make it transparent. I really don't know anything about alchemy."

Amber Xiu didn't delve into it. Maybe Isabel had mixed a new type of colorless condensing agent herself. It seemed to be more effective than ordinary condensing agents. I just didn't know how much it cost. This thing also had a good market in the desert.

This little girl is growing up quite fast. Her previous youth potion was made by luck because of the new type of materials, but this new type of condensing agent is truly her own achievement.

I used to think that Isabel’s reputation was too exaggerated and I was afraid that she couldn’t bear it, but now it seems that she can become a true master of alchemy sooner or later.

It is indeed a great era of great events, and all kinds of talents will emerge in this period.

Amberxiu didn't care too much about the ice sculpture. He gave Harvey a few instructions and corrected some minor problems at work, then ran to the tavern in Ganlu City.

Drones are being promoted again, so naturally adventurers have to come to the tavern.

However, after learning that the sunscreen's publicity was very effective, Amberxiu changed his plan slightly and decided to make good use of the brand's effectiveness.

Sitting at the bar, Amberxiu ordered a drink as usual, then focused his attention on the adventurers, quietly eavesdropping on everyone's conversation.

Amber's perception could capture all the sounds in the tavern, and he quickly found a suitable target.

There was a tiefling rogue and an orc ranger, both of them sighing and talking about the troubles of exploring dungeons. The orc ranger had recently switched to raising rats in order to explore dungeons. But the rats were dying in piles, and as a companion to these beasts, the ranger was under great mental pressure and was almost depressed.

Amber Xiu also understood this feeling. The contract between the ranger and the beast companion was close, not only was there a spiritual connection, but also many shared feelings. If Naomi was killed, Amber Xiu would feel the same way.

This orc ranger has already killed a bunch of rats. The death of those pets hangs over him like a shadow. It's a credit to his strong willpower that he has managed to hold on until now.

The tiefling thief understood the situation very well, but said helplessly: "There is no other way. This underground is like a maze. If we don't use your rats to explore the way, too many people in our group will die. The bounty of the mission is not even enough to pay the pension."

The orc ranger said angrily: "But they should also send someone else to explore the way. Isn't there another ranger?! Why doesn't he need to explore the way?!"

The tiefling rogue said with emotion, "That's the captain's brother-in-law."

Amber Xiu had a familiar feeling. When he was an adventurer, he had seen many such adventure groups consisting of relatives and friends, but in the end they would most likely split up more seriously than groups formed by friends.

The reason is simple, it’s like dating within a company, once you break up, it will be very embarrassing.

If a blood-linked adventure group encounters a life-and-death crisis and one person has a problem, the situation will be more serious than for other adventure groups because you can't simply expel that person and be done with it.

If this person stays in the team all the time, it will naturally make the team more disunited.

There is no adventure group that is safe from accidents. If you take on too many missions, you will encounter accidents sooner or later. This situation is absolutely impossible to avoid.

Therefore, adventure groups formed by relatives usually cannot grow large, as family affection overrides the rules, and they can only engage in small-scale operations.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

However, adventure groups with blood ties are usually large in size. Because of this special relationship, it is easier for them to accept members and it is easier for them to develop tacit understanding at the beginning.

All I can say is, there are gains and losses.

The two people in front of him were obviously outsiders who had been marginalized by their relatives' adventure group, and they were exactly the "customers" that Amberxiu needed most.

Without thinking, Amber took out the smallest four-wing drone and flew it directly onto the table of the two adventurers.

The tiefling rogue and the orc ranger were both startled by the sudden appearance of such an exquisite little thing.

"What is this?"

"It seems to be... a puppet?"

"I've never seen such a small one. Can the magic power reactor be made to such a small size?"

"No, I don't think it's right. This thing seems to have dark magic."

…

Amber looked at the two people who were surprised and alert, and walked directly to their side with a glass of wine.

"You two, I'm an alchemist. This is my new creation, specially designed for exploring underground ruins. Don't be fooled by the small size of this drone, but it has enough weight to carry a memory crystal. It can do things like exploring the way better than a mouse."

Amber Xiu promoted the product enthusiastically, but the two adventurers didn't believe him at all.

I have been an adventurer for so many years, and I have seen all kinds of scammers. Those who come up and brag about their products are 99% scammers. I have never heard of drones, and things like magic power reactors that cannot be seen, where does the power come from? I am afraid it is not a small clockwork toy.

Amber knew that the two would not believe it just by saying this, so he took out a remote control and handed it to the orc ranger, then said, "You can try it for free for half an hour. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to buy it. By the way, this is the product selected by the God of Alchemy. Do you know the sunscreen that is very popular recently? Here, this is a sample for you."

Amber took out two boxes of sunscreen and placed them in front of the two men.

They will definitely not miss something given for free, even if it contains poison, they will just ask someone to test it before using it.

After receiving Amber's gift, the attitudes of the two adventurers improved a lot.

The orc ranger held up the remote control with only a few simple buttons and asked, "Can this thing really explore the way?"

"If you don't believe me, try it. The remote control range is 500 meters in a straight line, and the functions are very simple. This one is for exploration, this one is for return, and this one is..."

Amber Xiu briefly introduced it, and the orc ranger learned it. He stroked his chin and said, "I heard that there is a bathroom on the second floor of this tavern specially for female adventurers. How about giving it a try?"

Amber: ...

You're so dirty! No wonder the people in the adventure group want to isolate you!
