Chapter 100 Modern Business Models
Sandra jumped off the horse and patted a crowd on the shoulder. The latter turned his head and saw her uniform and medals, with a smile froze on his face, "You, what do you want?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to catch you." She nodded her chin towards the gate of the church, "I want to ask, what's going on here?"

"Oh, you're asking this..." The fear in the man's eyes suddenly disappeared, "I heard that a pharmaceutical company is officially in business, what kind of opening ceremony is being held, and now it's giving out sugar, and later it will give out free medicine. "

Opening ceremony?
This activity is quite new.

Sandra had only seen a launching ceremony after the ship was built before, and she had never seen a company opening ceremony, let alone such a loss-making act of giving things to ordinary people.

Businessmen seem to be naturally quite concerned about losing money.

"Send medicine? What kind of medicine can be given for free?" Woody also led the horse and walked over, "It can't be poisonous, right?"

"Anyway, take it first, and you don't need to rush to eat it." The man smiled apologetically, "The nun just said that there are medicines for colds and coughs, as well as medicines for diarrhea and stomach pain. I often have a stomachache recently. I want to grab it Be prepared."

Woody leaned into his boss's ear and whispered, "Nine times out of ten it's a stunt."

"How?" she asked.

"Ansheng Company also has a medicine for diarrhea, and a bottle costs fifteen thaliers! Even if the medicine is to be promoted, it will only be given to the nobles as a gift, and there is no way to give it for nothing in the street." Woody explained, "If this If a company really dares to give a lot of money, the boss is either crazy or a liar, using placebo to bluff people."

However, commercial disputes are not the main task of the City Guards.

As long as someone doesn't put poison in the medicine, it is a compliant product - after all, the efficacy of medicine varies from person to person, and if someone is cheated, they can only blame themselves for being stupid.

When Sandella was about to leave, the commotion in the crowd suddenly increased a lot!
She looked forward, and saw several more nuns pushing handcarts at the door of the church.These trolleys are actually full of colorful boxes, so they look pretty.

"Keep everyone waiting for a long time, we will distribute the medicine immediately! Also, please don't forget to help the Gate of Fate Pharmaceutical Company to publicize a few more words. Our best medicine is a special medicine for the Scarlet Curse. If anyone around you is infected with this This disease, remember to let them come to Yeni Church for treatment, as long as you say a word, they are very likely to survive!" The nun shouted vigorously.

"Okay, let's deliver the medicine!"

"If it works, I will help you publicize it!"

"Yes, let's try it first!" Everyone booed.

But these words fell in Sandella's ears, but they were no less than a bolt from the blue!
"What is she talking about...a special medicine for the Scarlet Curse?" Woody also showed surprise.

This curse-like disease has always been the most troublesome thing for the army, especially after the popularity of muskets and steam guns, many people will not die immediately on the battlefield, but will die of irreversible deterioration of their wounds after being rescued.Of course, the high priests and divine envoys of the Divine Mechanism Sect can use some arcane artifacts to eliminate the curse, but not every army is lucky enough to receive the support of the church, at least it is impossible for the pioneering cities of the New World like Brilliant Fort to be valued by the above.

For example, in this campaign against the miners' gangs, many members of the City Guards were infected by bullets and eventually died in the camp.The only thing the City Guards can do is to make these people take the painkillers provided by Ansheng, so as to try to suffer as little pain as possible before they die.

"Go get some medicine." Sandra ordered.

"Yes." Woody handed over the reins to his boss, separated the crowd forcefully, and pushed forward.After about 5 minutes, he returned to his boss covered in sweat, "They have limited the quantity, and they can only take one box at a time! But there are still a lot of them on the trolley, and I think there may be thousands of boxes in total!"

Sandra took the carton and found that these medicines had a fresh and refined feeling.

That's right, they are fresh and refined - they are packed in a small boxy box, the box is only three or four centimeters, which looks quite delicate.But what is even more exquisite is that there are patterns of different colors on it!For example, the words Gate of Destiny are golden, the door is green, and other words are black.

Just printing these boxes is not a small expense!

She had only seen similar designs on some boutique gift boxes before.

"They even wrote the instructions on it!" Woody exclaimed, "Don't the company know that more than half of the residents of Brilliant Fort are illiterate?"

Sandella also saw these instructions. For example, under the "abdominal clearing tablet", it says twice a day, swallow with warm water; People seem to be very concerned about whether patients can get effective treatment.

Opening the box, there was only a small thin paper bag stuffed inside.She unfolded the paper package, revealing the golden pills inside. At the same time, a strong spicy smell escaped, pungent, but not offensive. It smelled similar to raw garlic.If you are a liar, you obviously don't bother to add flavor to starch chips.

"I'm wondering... is there another possibility..."

"What?" Woody tilted his head.

"In addition to the fact that the boss is a lunatic or a liar, there is another possibility—that is, this person really hopes that their products can help more patients, even if they make a little less money." Sandella slowly Said.

The adjutant was startled, but did not answer.

It was obvious that he didn't believe it.

Sandella smiled slightly, and didn't continue talking about this topic, but the originally gloomy sky seemed to have regained some light.It is undeniable that there are still some people in this city who hope for a better future, such as the nuns of the Yeni Church, or... myself.

"I remember there are still a few soldiers infected with the Scarlet Curse in the camp?" She put away the medicine box and got on her horse, "After you search the house on Oak Street, you send them to Jeni Church for a try. "

"My lord, is this wrong?" Woody frowned, "Only miners and poor people will be thrown to Yeni... We have our own medical staff and sufficient medicines, you send them here, in other places In the eyes of the soldiers, I am afraid it is equivalent to abandonment."

"We do have everything, but we just can't cure the Scarlet Curse, can we?"

"Then what if the Holy Church can't cure it? Everyone knows that the Scarlet Curse cannot be cured. It can only show bad luck for them to die in the barracks." The adjutant advised, "But if they die in the Yeni Holy Church , it will deal a blow to your prestige!"

Sandra looked at Woody.

Her eyes were piercing, and there was a vague majesty without words. After looking at each other for a moment, Woody couldn't help but lower his head.

"Compared to this prestige, I need my subordinates to live more, do you understand?"

This time the adjutant did not object.

"Yes, my subordinates obey."
