Chapter 178 Selling Medicine (Part 4)
You want...all of it? What a big customer! It's like we haven't had a sale in three years, but now we're making enough to last us three. After refining all the pills, we've doubled our money after deducting all the raw materials!
Xiao Chong was dumbfounded, his exaggerated expression even more unbearable than when Mr. Feng first heard about the effects of the Youth Preservation Pill.
"Miss, you really have excellent taste!"
Long Wu howled loudly, trying to stick his head out from the sofa, his whole body trembling with excitement as if he had taken some kind of drug.
Ignoring their disgraceful behavior, the girl moved her lips and murmured, "One for my eldest sister, one for my second sister, one for my mother, one for each of my three aunts, and one for my sixth aunt..."
Half a day later, he suddenly asked again, "Is that all? It doesn't seem like enough."
"Yes, yes! We'll start the furnace again when we get back. It only takes three days. We can make as many as you need!" Long Wu and Xiao Chong answered eagerly.
Mr. Feng and Zhao Ting, who were standing nearby, were dumbfounded. They seriously doubted whether the girl in front of them had any brains.
At such a young age, you're wasting money outside. Do your parents know? And if you buy all these pills, won't the Holy Pill Pavilion lose 100,000 spirit stones for nothing?
Zhao Ting's mind raced for a moment, and he immediately spoke up, ready to ruin the deal: "Miss, do you know how much these two unscrupulous men are asking for each one, yet they dare to boast that they'll buy them all?"
The girl, clearly from a wealthy family, said nonchalantly, "No matter how much it costs, I'm going to buy them all."
"That's brilliant!" Xiao Chong thought to himself, and began to rack his brains, considering repricing these youth-preserving pills.
Zhao Ting was clearly taken aback by the girl's audacity and exclaimed, "They're asking for 100,000 spirit stones each! There are more than ten here, that's over a million spirit stones!"
"One hundred thousand yuan per piece?" the girl asked in surprise.
“That’s right, it’s 100,000 yuan a piece!” Zhao Ting looked at Xiao Chong and Long Wu smugly, waiting to see the two of them make a fool of themselves.
But the girl's answer almost made him faint: "Not expensive, not expensive, very cheap, even beyond imagination! Such a magical pill is worth any price."
"How much does the girl think it should be worth?" Xiao Chong asked, seizing the opportunity.
The girl's expression was very serious: "Prices are determined by the market. This kind of pill is rare and precious, and has never appeared before. I think it's worth at least two hundred thousand."
"Young lady, your insight is truly remarkable, and your words are very fair!" Xiao Chong flattered her, then added with a smile, "These pills are indeed worth 200,000 each, not a penny less. 100,000 was the price just now."
"What, two hundred thousand? You're trying to rip me off, shameless!" Zhao Ting's face was agitated, his lips twitching as if he wanted to bite someone.
"From a business perspective, if someone thinks it's worth this price, then it's worth this price!"
Like a chameleon, Xiao Chong rebuked Zhao Ting with a dark face, then turned to the girl with a smile and said, "Miss, isn't what I said reasonable?"
“That’s true. I can buy all these pills for 200,000 each. I’ll take as many as you refine in the future, but you can’t sell them to others, and the price will also be…” The girl’s bright eyes darted around, clearly plotting something.
They've got a good head for business; they're trying to create a monopoly!
Xiao Chong couldn't help but look at her with both admiration and respect, and interrupted her, saying, "Deal! I understand what you mean, miss. I guarantee that not a single one of these pills will circulate outside. Who gets them and who doesn't is entirely up to you! As for the price, there will be discounts for bulk orders, so you definitely won't lose out."
After saying that, he pushed the jade plate in front of the girl and waited for her to pay and take the goods.
The girl readily agreed and reached into her pocket for money. However, after rummaging around for a while, she suddenly blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I left in a hurry today and only brought some change with me. Why don't you come with me to get some?"
"can."
Xiao Chong readily agreed. As long as he could sell the pills successfully, he didn't mind walking a few extra steps.
The smoother things went on here, the more anxious Zhao Ting became. Normally, it wouldn't matter to him if others were willing to waste money, but this time was different. The deal being completed meant that the Holy Pill Pavilion would have to compensate Xiao Chong with 200,000 spirit stones.
"If we waste 200,000 spirit stones for nothing, won't the boss beat us to death later?"
"If this gets out, I'll inevitably get a bad reputation for not knowing what's good for me, and how will I ever be able to work in this industry again?"
The more Zhao Ting thought about it, the more frightened he became, feeling that everything about the matter was eerie.
In desperation, he suddenly realized that these people in front of him were putting on an act.
Without bothering to explain, he pointed at both sides and shouted, "I was wondering why something was wrong. One of you bought it without hesitation, and the other sold it without hesitation, but after the transaction was completed, you refused to settle the money and goods."
So you were trying to set me up! Tell me, did you all conspire to stage a scam at the Holy Pill Pavilion?
We've only just met, how did this turn out to be a honey trap? Hearing this, the girl and Xiao Chong looked at each other blankly, both shaking their heads in silence.
Seeing this, Zhao Ting became even more confident and laughed loudly, "Why is everyone silent? I knew it! They really are here to cause trouble. Men! Throw these adulterers out!"
"If you're going to renege on your debt, just say so. Why are you swearing?" Xiao Chong's temper flared up, and he waved his hand, ready to take Long Wu forward to argue.
To everyone's surprise, the girl opposite him was even angrier and slapped Zhao Ting hard across the face.
"what!"
Zhao Ting let out a miserable cry as he was whipped backward, losing all his teeth.
"Are you blind? How dare you insult me? Don't you know whose territory Lianxin City is?" After beating Zhao Ting, the girl seemed not to be satisfied and picked up a chair and smashed it around.
Mr. Feng finally realized something was amiss. Zhao Ting was a martial artist, yet he was sent flying by a single palm strike from the girl. What level was she? And judging from her tone, it was as if Refining Heart City was her own property.
"May I ask your name, young lady?" Mr. Feng asked cautiously.
The young woman said calmly, "My surname is Sheng, but I cannot tell you my given name."
Mr. Feng was startled and asked, "May I ask what your relationship is with the City Lord?"
"It is indeed my uncle!" The girl casually tossed out a small jade token and said, "Now do you believe me?"
"We are very sorry for offending you. We hope you won't hold it against us, young lady." Mr. Feng glanced at the jade pendant, quickly returned it, and said in a humble tone.
"Never mind, I'll learn my lesson next time." The girl snorted and put the jade pendant away again.
"Thank you! I am deeply grateful!" Seeing that the young woman was no longer concerned, Mr. Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But Xiao Chong wasn't going to let him off the hook: "Two hundred thousand, pay back my pills!"
Mr. Feng, who showed no signs of aging, kicked Zhao Ting in the backside and roared, "Stop pretending to be dead! Hurry up and pay this young master back for the pills!"
After Zhao Ting retrieved the spirit stones and handed them over to Xiao Chong, the girl saw Xiao Chong standing there motionless and asked in confusion, "What are you standing there for? Aren't you coming with me to the city lord's mansion to get the money for the pills?"
"Lead the way, young lady." After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Chong finally answered, forcing himself to speak.
Given the girl's fiery temper, he felt that the trip to the city lord's mansion was likely to end badly.
