Partnership Business (Revision)
Ever since she decided to start a new business in magic potions, Elena immediately determined the first batch of goods, low-grade recovery potions and low-grade magic potions. These are the most common and popular potions on the market, and there is a huge market demand for them.
In fact, the main reason for choosing these two potions is that Elena did not have much initial capital available, and magic materials were really expensive. Elena, whose financial situation had just improved slightly, could only spend frugally.
After determining the goods to be produced, Elena placed an order to purchase the corresponding magic materials and potion-making tools.
Originally, these magic materials and potion-making tools could be purchased from the magic potion store in Fussen Town, but because the store manager colluded with the sheriff to rob customers of their money, Elena personally disliked this store, so she asked someone to find another magic potion store in Book Harbor to place the order.
A large sum of money was spent just like that.
Elena was feeling distressed, and coincidentally, the magic potion shop in the town of Fison paid the fine, which almost covered her purchasing expenses.
In and out, there is no extra money spent, which is equivalent to free of charge.
Elena suddenly stopped feeling distressed.
After the magic materials and potion-making tools arrived, Elena stayed in the pharmacy to make potions.
Magic potions in this world are expensive, mainly because the level of refining is limited and the success rate is not high. Unless it is refined by a high-level wizard, the success rate of refining even the most basic magic potion is less than 50%.
However, when reaching the level of high-level wizards, various forces will naturally come to them and offer them support and offerings. In addition, there are salaries from the Wizards Association. High-level wizards naturally do not have to rush for money, and they are even more unwilling to spend magic power to make low-level potions. Even if they need to make potions, they would rather make high-level potions.
Therefore, the market for magic potions for the general public has always been in short supply.
But for Elena, isn't this the best seller's market?
The supply is in short supply, and as long as she is willing to sell it, it will definitely be sold out.
Elena used up all the magic raw materials in one go. With a LV100 pharmacist level and a 100% success rate, not a single bit was wasted.
"How is it? The potion I made is of good quality, right?" After completing the production, Elena proudly showed the product to Leonard.
Leonard watched Elena make a whole row of potions with a 100% success rate, and the shock he felt was indescribable.
In fact, this was the result of Elena's intentional restraint. She made low-level potions, inferior recovery agents, and inferior magic agents. If she had made better advanced potions, with her pharmaceutical level, she would definitely have a 100% success rate. How terrifying it would be then.
Elena casually picked up a bottle of potion and held it up to the sunlight. The liquid was clear, without any impurities. "Isn't the color beautiful? I can tell it's a good potion at first glance."
Leonard moved his lips, his throat a little dry. "How can you achieve a 100% success rate? Aren't you just a high-level apprentice?"
Elena nodded, looking contented and calm: "Because I have good talent."
Leonard glanced at her with a complicated expression. "Since you can achieve a 100% success rate, why don't you make a mid-grade potion? A mid-grade potion is twice as expensive as a low-grade potion, but the raw materials are just a few more."
It’s just a little more expensive in cost, but the profit is doubled!
Can you count?
"Because I'm short of money." Elena said matter-of-factly, "Of course I have to make the most cost-effective low-grade potion first. Once I make enough money, I'll make the mid-grade potion."
"If you had told me earlier that you could succeed 100%, I could have lent you money to buy materials." Leonard said, gritting his teeth. It took great restraint to avoid yelling at him. His heart was bleeding.
Elena looked at him in surprise: "You didn't say you had money, let alone that you were willing to lend me money. And if you really wanted to borrow money, why didn't you tell me when I was shopping before?"
A sword pierced his heart, and Leonard looked at Elena, vomiting blood in hatred.
Why? Of course, it was because he had never been optimistic about her pharmaceutical ability before. Who knew that she was not only so good at refining, but also had a 100% success rate.
If he had known earlier, he would have lent her all the money.
"Hey, if you are really willing to lend me money, how much can you lend me? How is the interest calculated? Can it be borrowed for a long time?" Elena became interested. It would be best to borrow money for development without spending her own money. Aren't so many companies in the original world relying on bank loans and stock market financing for their development? Only start-ups, small teams and small companies without foundations spend their own money.
Leonard quietly gathered himself together, regained his composure, and changed his mind: "I want to open a shop with you."
Huh?! Elena widened her beautiful green eyes in shock.
"You want to open a store together?" Elena repeated Leonard's words with emphasis, fully expressing her surprise.
"I am willing to invest and I can provide you with protection." Leonard raised his right hand, and white sword energy appeared instantly.
Facing the sword energy at close range, Elena once again felt Leonard's power. He was a golden knight.
Out of curiosity, Elena asked sincerely: "What is your title?"
In this world, every high-ranking strongman has his own title, a unique title.
"Meteors everywhere." Leonard said lightly.
Elena blinked. The title sounded quite nice, Meteors in All Directions. No wonder an illusion of a meteor shower appeared behind him at that time.
"You are already a Golden Knight. Shouldn't you have your own cooperative forces long ago? Why do you come to cooperate with me? I am just a small viscount." Elena asked again.
In this continent, there are hundreds of countries, large and small, and each country has countless nobles. From top to bottom, there are kings, dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons, forming a pyramid structure. The viscount is just a small noble. In the entire continent, he is not noticeable at all, and his presence is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people.
And a Golden Knight?
He is a recognized strong man.
This is a world of magic. After all, magic is the absolute existence. In this world, powerful magicians are respected, and secular royal power is only secondary.
On the magic hierarchy, the first step is occupied by legendary magicians and epic knights. These powerful beings have already taken half a step towards becoming gods and are honored as demigods. It can be seen how respected their status is. There are only seven demigods in the entire continent.
The second tier consists of the Grand Wizard and the Golden Knight. Although they are ranked lower, they are already respected and admired by the world, and each of them is a big boss.
Someone as approachable as Leonard, who runs errands and takes orders everywhere, is definitely a weirdo in the second tier.
There was a big doubt in Elena's eyes.
Why?
Why would Leonard choose a little viscount like her?
Leonard retracted his sword energy, and also retracted the sharp aura around him, becoming ordinary and reserved again: "I like to be alone."
"Then why did you choose me?" Elena asked.
Leonard looked at her as if she were a fool. "Who would complain about having too much money? You're such a great earner. Doing business with you is both a sure win and a worry-free experience. Besides, do you dare to lie to me?"
"Ah?" Elena didn't expect this answer, and the green cat's eyes widened.
I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little emotional.
Couldn't it be that you admire her, like her, and think she is beautiful, has good character, and is talented?
Humph, isn't it just that he relies on his own ability, wants to make money with her, and is sure that she can't cheat him?
Although, although she really wouldn't lie.
But, it’s a bit sad to say it so bluntly.
She has self-respect, right?
She is still a little girl and he is a grown man, can't he be a little more considerate?
After a chaotic thought, Elena threw her little emotions aside and tried hard to hold up her momentum: "Since you want to open a store with me, it's okay, but you have to keep your word. In addition to investing in shares, you must also protect the safety of me and my industry."
Leonard nodded. "Of course. If anything happens to you, what will happen to our store? If anything happens to your business, where will I put my face?"
His people are here. If Elena's business is picked up or taken away under his nose, won't his reputation be ruined? Won't the good reputation he has built up over the years of taking orders be ruined?
This is absolutely impossible.
He doesn't allow it.
"Okay, then let's open a shop together." Elena cheered up, and the light of gold coins shone in her big green eyes.
Although Leonard has his own little calculations, opening a store together is generally in her own interests.
When the spice powder and sauce business was just beginning to take shape and the sales contract had just been signed, the old housekeeper reminded her to bring Earl of Barnett into the business and share some of the profits with the Earl so that he would take better care of her.
She was very reluctant to give them up at that time because the spices and sauces were sold far away. It was said that if they were sold across the border, Earl of Barnett could take care of one area, but he could not control matters outside the territory.
Now, with Leonard here, Leonard will not only provide funding, but also provide more practical and reliable protection, which is more reliable than what Earl Barnett can provide.
Leonard is a Golden Knight, and his deterrent power is definitely far greater than that of an earl.
It's both about leveraging momentum and sharing money, but of course, cooperating with Leonard will maximize the benefits.
After thinking it over, Elena, who felt that her decision was very wise, got straight to the point: "How much do you want to invest?"
Leonard stretched out his right hand and touched the space ring on his left hand. He took out a handful of gold coins and placed them on the table.
Elena counted them: "13 gold coins."
After saying that, Elena looked up at Leonard, waiting for him to take out more gold coins.
Leonard looked at her silently.
Elena suddenly had an idea: "Ah, that's all? Nothing else?"
"Yeah." Leonard hummed softly.
Elena looked at the 13 gold coins on the table in disbelief. "That's all? Didn't you just say you were rich? Didn't you say that if you had known my success rate in refining low-grade potions was 100%, you would have lent me money to buy the raw materials so I could make a mid-grade potion?"
Leonard hummed again: "Yeah, I still have money to buy raw materials."
Elena was speechless: "So there is no money to open a store?"
"Of course." Leonard said as a matter of course, "You guessed it just now. I'm short of money."
Elena was speechless and had nothing to say.
Leonard thought for a moment and added, "The remaining balance of the money Joyce owes me can be used here."
Joyce owed 80 gold coins, and Elena had paid back 30 gold coins, leaving 50 gold coins.
That's fine, by the way.
"Okay, it's a deal." Elena agreed immediately. She didn't have to pay for the gold coins anymore, but just transferred them from one hand to the other. This deal was a good deal. "Let's go sign the contract."
After a brief negotiation, the two signed a cooperation agreement. Leonard finally invested 60 gold coins and provided armed protection. Elena also invested 60 gold coins and provided pharmaceutical technology. The two of them jointly opened a magic potion store and divided the profits equally.
