The price of "bronze-grade" potions in those large pharmacies is as high as five gold talans, and if you want to buy a large amount, you need to make an advance reservation.
However, that potion can only be used once, while this can of "violet ointment" can be used three times. It can not only heal moderate injuries, but also bruises, concussions and fractures. Even if it is priced at twenty gold talans, I am afraid that there will be people scrambling to buy it.
Twenty gold talans?
Even if the small mercenary group "Iguana Fang", with less than a hundred people in total, is sold, it is still unable to buy too much. What's the point of buying a few cans?
Dave was sweating and struggling for a long time. Finally, he said helplessly: "Mr. Magician, we "Iguana Fang" can't afford to buy such an expensive potion!"
The mercenaries of other teams looked at each other, silently, and left disappointed. Their team strength is not as good as "Iguana Fang". Even they can't afford to buy it, let alone them.
Jia Lan was quite surprised to see the warriors leaving. He didn't expect that they would leave directly because of the high price of "Violet Cream".
"I'm sorry to waste your time!"
Dave looked at the sample he had used, gritted his teeth, and took out a transparent card that was almost the size of his palm: "There are five gold Talans in this mercenary card. You can go to the "Mercenary Guild" on Adventure Street to collect it within a week, and count it as the cost of the part of the potion I used!"
The mercenary card is an identity card issued by the guild after the mercenaries register with the "Mercenary Guild". It contains the mercenary's information, such as identity, level, strength, task completion rate, etc. It can also store task bonuses and go to the guild to withdraw at any time.
When conducting large transactions, mercenaries prefer to use mercenary cards. As long as they know the payment password, they can withdraw money with the card without having to be present.
After using the mercenary card, you can reapply for a replacement within a week to prevent fraud.
If the mercenary loses the card, he can go to the guild to report the loss before the money is taken away, and the guild will handle it. However, this situation is relatively rare, because others do not know the payment password, and picking up the card is useless.
In addition, the Mercenary Guild also issues crystal cards like a bank, which are divided into black iron cards, brass cards, silver cards, gold cards, etc., with a limit ranging from 100 gold talans to 100,000 gold talans.
However, such cards are not available to ordinary mercenaries, because the Mercenary Guild will charge a 1％ production fee for each card, and the card will be invalid after withdrawal.
Only those large mercenary groups have advanced cards, which can be withdrawn in batches, but at least one million gold talans must be deposited.
What Di Fu took out was his personal mercenary card, and the amount on the card was used to buy medicine for the team this time.
"Uh!"
Jia Lan smiled and shook his head, pushing back the mercenary card that Di Fu handed to him: "No need to give me money, Mr. Di Fu. If you can, just answer a few questions for me."
Di Fu was quite surprised, hesitated for a long time, awkwardly took back the card, and said guiltily: "Mr. Magician, I'm sorry... Thank you for your generosity! If you have any questions, I will try my best to answer them if I know them!"
Although it was a little embarrassing, two thousand gold Taran is also a huge sum of money for their "Iguana Tooth". However, because of his temporary preference, he took the medicine without asking the price. If it was in a pharmacy, he would have to pay at least half of the cost.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Jia Lan waved his hand, telling him not to worry about the trial medicine, and pointed to the sample still in front of him: "Mr. Di Fu, you don't want to buy the medicine because the price is too expensive?"
Di Fu nodded.
Jia Lan asked again: "Then what do you think is a suitable price for my ointment?"
"Mr. Magician, I know very little about [Pharmacy], so I don't know the exact price of this medicine, but based on my experience with it and compared with similar medicines in some large chain drugstores, I guess your magical ointment will cost at least five gold talans!"
Div thought for a moment and added: "Five gold talans is the price of a 'bronze-level' primary medicine. Considering the special effect and quantity of your medicine, it will be no problem to sell it for fifteen to twenty gold talans..."
He paused, observing Jia Lan's expression, and continued: "In the pharmacy, the price of 'bronze-level' potions is at least five gold talans, so the best way to sell your potion is not to sell it to us mercenaries who are short of money, but to sell it in the big pharmacies on Adventure Street!"
The price given by Di Fu was far beyond Jia Lan's expectations. After carefully asking Di Fu about his understanding of potions in this era, Jia Lan pondered for a while, looked up and said with a smile: "Thank you very much, it seems that I am too inexperienced and not suitable to be a businessman."
Jia Lan pointed to the trial product and said: "This bottle of [violet cream] will be given to Mr. Di Fu as a thank you gift!"
Di Fu was stunned: "You...you...you are not kidding?"
Although this bottle of trial product has been used up by him, its value is still not cheap. If he takes it to the pharmacy to sell it, it is equivalent to picking up a sum of gold talans out of thin air, enough for him to perform several missions Commission!
"Well, it's just a small gift."
Jia Lan said gently: "Because I have a private commission, or cooperation, and I want to ask Mr. Div's "Iguana Tooth" mercenary team for help."
"You can see that I'm really not good at business." Jia Lan waved his hand helplessly, "So I want you, "Iguana Tooth", to help me sell this ointment. As a reward, I will give you a 5％ commission for every bottle of "Violet Ointment" sold."
When Div heard this, his eyes widened and he began to calculate. But he counted on his fingers for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how much the 5％ commission for a bottle of ointment was, and he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Seeing that he couldn't figure it out, Jia Lan kindly told him: "For example, if each bottle of 'Violet Cream' sells for twenty gold talans, then you 'Iguana Tooth' can get a commission of one gold talan. The more expensive it sells, the more commission you will get!"
Div glanced at the two large baskets of ointments beside Jia Lan, and estimated that there were at least two hundred bottles in them. He secretly thought that twenty gold talans were just the price of ordinary 'brass-level' potions, and this 'Violet Cream' was so effective, maybe it could be sold at a higher price!
Moreover, the quality and effect of this ointment must be good. Even if it cannot be identified as a 'brass-level' high-level potion, it is at least a 'brass-level' medium-level potion. Therefore, the transaction price will definitely not be less than twenty gold talans!
Div calculated that the commission for a bottle of ointment was one gold talan, and two hundred bottles would be two hundred gold talans! They only need to send the ointment to the auction house. Isn't this business too good?
Dave swallowed his saliva and began to imagine that with this commission, their "Iguana Fang" could recruit more people, get better equipment, and upgrade from a small mercenary group to a mid-level mercenary group...
But Jia Lan changed the subject: "However, this commission is not just the reward for selling medicine. You also saw that just now at the market, the mid-level pharmacist Dagar wanted to buy my prescription."
Jia Lan looked at Dave who was in a daze and reminded him: "I don't want to be disturbed, so when signing the agreement, you have to write a confidentiality clause. You may be at risk, such as being targeted by a large mercenary group."
Dave was scared when he heard it. That's right, even the ordinary "bronze-level" potion supply source will attract the covetousness of the large mercenary group. Not to mention this novel "violet cream". Once targeted, the best result for "Iguana Fang" is to be swallowed up by others.
Dave hesitated. Although this business is profitable, the risk is too great. Their 'Iguana Fang' is just a small mercenary group, and it can't withstand this pressure at all. But he couldn't bear to give up.
Seeing him in trouble, Jia Lan thought about it and suggested: "In fact, we can take this matter to the 'Mercenary Guild' to register and designate your 'Iguana Fang' as the agent. Although it is a one-tenth commission, it is safer. You can also pay more commissions and let the 'Mercenary Guild' protect you."
Dave thought about it and said with a little distress: "The 'Mercenary Guild' has had such a precedent, but the commission is as high as two-tenths, or even four-tenths! This..."
Jia Lan smiled: "Don't feel sorry for the commissions. This is not a one-time business, but a long-term cooperation. This batch of ointment is just our first cooperation."
Dave understood that the young magician just needed a "shield" and didn't necessarily have to have their 'Iguana Fang'. If he wanted, any large mercenary group would rush to take this commission. He didn't have many choices at all.
