Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The two chatted for a while, and Xie Xuanfang explained the purpose of his visit: "To be honest, I came to your team this time specifically to visit Junior Brother Tang."

"Oh? I don't know what's going on?"

"Senior Brother Jiang must have told you that we jointly opened an elixir hall outside, specializing in refining Gubendan and Xiaoyang elixir for sale. The source of the two elixirs is Fengyan, which is under your team's jurisdiction. Shanhe Xuangan Valley, we would like to invite Junior Brother Tang to join us. We will give you 10 million spirit stones every year. What do you think?"

"I have been thinking about this matter. To be honest, cooperation is not impossible, but I think the way of cooperation is a little inappropriate."

"Junior Brother Tang, what do you think? We can discuss it if you tell us. We are all three parties here today. If it is a reasonable request, Senior Brother Jiang and I will naturally not refuse it."

"Then I will speak frankly. If I offend you, please don't mind me. To be honest, I am also an alchemist myself and I know a little bit about the refining process of Gubendan and Xiaoyangdan. Second, I know the cost and profit of these two pills, so let’s get straight to the point! I think the price of 10 million spirit stones is open to discussion.”

Jiang Xuan said calmly: "How reasonable does Junior Brother Tang think it is?"

Tang Ning said: "Based on my many years of experience, when an alchemist tries to refine a third-level elixir, he can barely make a profit only if the success rate is maintained at 40%."

"We all know that the higher the level of the elixir, the greater the profit, because the increase in the price of elixirs cannot match the increase in the price of elixirs."

"Take the third-level low-grade Huang Yuan Dan as an example. One Huang Yuan Dan costs 2,000 spirit stones, and its two main medicines, Thousand Yuan Fruit and Cloud Frost Grass, cost 6,000 spirit stones, and one plant can be used to refine ten pills."

"The price of the main drug accounts for almost 30%, and the price of the auxiliary drugs accounts for half. Plus the cost of the alchemy room, so a 40% success rate is needed to avoid losing money."

"The higher you go, the lower the cost of elixirs among elixirs."

"The third-level middle-grade Yuanyang Pill costs four thousand spirit stones. Its two main ingredients, Huozhi and Sanqingye, cost ten thousand spirit stones."

"A third-level mid-grade Qingling Pill costs eight thousand spiritual stones. Its two main ingredients, purple smoke fruit and poppy, cost only seventeen thousand spiritual stones."

"Although I don't know the specific skills of your recruitment of alchemists, after so many years of long-term service in refining elixirs for you, the success rate must be no less than 80%!"

"For the former, Senior Brother Jiang and I went to Fengyan Mountain and Xuangan Valley. I made a rough calculation and thought that it shouldn't be a problem to leave one or two thousand elixirs every year."

"Two thousand elixirs can be used to refine 20,000 elixirs. Calculated based on an 80% success rate, this is 16,000 elixirs."

"According to the market price, sixteen thousand Yuanyang Pills and Qingling Pills are worth 200 million spirit stones."

"Excluding the cost of the auxiliary medicines, it's 10 million spiritual stones, and then excluding the cost of the alchemy hall, it's only 10 million spiritual stones."

"There is also the cost of recruiting alchemists, which is at most 60 million spirit stones. Adding the rent of the shop and the expenses of the shop staff, your annual profit will be at least 100 million spirit stones."

"Two senior brothers, am I right?"

Jiang Xinquan and Xie Xuan looked at each other, and the hall fell into silence for a while.

After a while, Jiang Xinquan broke the silence and said: "I didn't expect Junior Brother Tang to be an expert in alchemy. What you said is good, but in fact we don't have such high profits because we don't sell the refined elixirs in stores. ”

"oh?"

Xie Xuan continued: "All the elixirs we refine are supplied directly to Qianjia Sect at 80% of the market price. In addition, we also have the cost of training alchemists and the cost of transportation."

"Even so, your profit will definitely be no less than 70 to 80 million spirit stones, and all my calculations just now are the most conservative estimates."

Jiang Xinquan said: "Junior Brother Tang, just tell me! How much do you want?"

Tang Ning said: "The market price is 27,000 spiritual stones in total for Heart Fire Seed, Clover, Purple Smoke Fruit, and Poppy."

"I only take 50% of the market price. No matter how many pearls and elixirs are left over every year, I will supply them all to you. If there are one thousand pearls every year, it will be 13.5 million spiritual stones. Two thousand pearls will be 2,700. One million spiritual stones.”

"If neither senior brother agrees to this price, I think there will be nothing left to discuss. As long as I let out the word and supply it to others at 70% of the market price, I think someone will contact me immediately, even if it is sold to the Chamber of Commerce. It can’t be lower than 70% price.”

The two looked at each other, and Xie Xuan said calmly: "I'm just an errand boy. I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask my uncle for instructions."

"Uncle Xie is a sensible person. I can wait for your reply." Tang Ning smiled slightly. He had already thought that Jiang Xinquan and Xie Xuan would use Xie Minghua to pressure him. The 50% price was already the bottom line he could accept. If he wasn't worried about Xie Minghua, , considering their appearance, Jiang Xinquan and Xie Xuan would have to take at least 70%.

If Xie Minghua is dissatisfied with this and wants to make things difficult for him, there is nothing he can do about it. He doesn't owe him anything.

When he was appointed to be the captain, he didn't even meet him, but now he wants to buy medicinal herbs at such a low price. Why?

Tang Ning had considered this matter carefully. Even if Xie Minghua was dissatisfied with her, she probably wouldn't go too far. She knew that she was Fang Dasheng's person.

He has some scruples about him, and similarly he should also have scruples about Fang Dasheng.

Taking a step back, even if he agreed to their conditions, would Xie Minghua be able to take more care of him and treat him differently?

it's out of the question.

Since his position will not change, he doesn't have to be too cautious, and he has to fight for the benefits he deserves.

The hall fell into silence for a while, and no one spoke. After a while, Xie Xuancai said: "Let's do this! Junior Brother Tang, let's all take a step back. Our profits are not as big as you think, and I don't want to because of this." If you bother Uncle Lao with something small, I will take charge of it without authorization. According to the past situation, your team can leave about 2,000 beads of medicinal herbs every year. My authority can only be opened to 18 million. What do you think? This is the limit I can give. If it goes any higher, I have to ask my uncle for instructions."

Tang Ning pondered for a while: "Twenty-four million is my bottom line. Uncle Xie works very hard to manage everything. We don't want him to worry about this matter, but this price is the cheapest in my opinion. If Senior Brother Xie really doesn't have The only way to decide is to ask Master Xie for instructions, I believe he will understand."

"Okay! I'll go back and ask my uncle for instructions."

"I'm waiting for Senior Brother Xie's answer. Senior Brothers, I'll take my leave now." Tang Ning stood up and walked straight out.

"Twenty-four million, that's quite an appetite! Junior Brother Xie, what do you think?" Seeing him walking away, Jiang Xinquan frowned slightly and said.

"What else can we do? You have seen it. I even mentioned my uncle's name but couldn't stop him. He insisted on the price, so we can only agree."

"What about these 24 million?"

Xie Xuan glanced at him: "Senior Brother Jiang, you don't want me to bear this expense alone, do you?"

"Of course that's not what I mean, then let's follow the plan we agreed on before!"

"I told you a long time ago not to resign in such a hurry and wait until the opportunity is right before leaving, but you refused to listen, which makes us so passive now."

Jiang Xinquan said: "Who would have guessed that Tangning would be killed halfway? Junior Brother Xie, you were very confident in telling me at the beginning that Sima Teng would most likely take over this position. Didn't you already have an agreement with him? "

"I'm just talking about the high probability. Who would have thought that he was so useless, that he knew the news so early, had enough time to prepare, and had the full support of my uncle, and he was still able to win with a ratio of five votes to six. Losing to Tangning is really a piece of shit that we can’t help.”

"You can't blame him. Who would have known that Director Fang would support Tang Ning so vigorously. To put it bluntly, this is a wrestling match between Director Fang and Uncle Sima. In the alliance, Uncle Sima is naturally more influential than Director Fang. Slightly worse.”

"If Sima Teng were chosen to take office, we wouldn't have so many problems. Senior Brother Jiang, you should have listened to my advice and stop resigning in such a hurry. We wouldn't have to pay the extra 24 million spiritual stones. "

Jiang Xinquan smiled slightly and said: "Lingshi is not that important to me now. I have not made any progress in my practice for so many years, and I have not made any progress in other aspects. I have accumulated a lot of spiritual stones. Besides, how many more can I have?" Life, the spiritual stone can’t be brought to you in life, and it can’t be taken away in death. It doesn’t matter if you make 10 million more or less than 10 million.”

"Junior brother Xie, I advise you to be more open-minded. If all goes well, the spiritual stones you have accumulated over the years should be enough for you to practice to the point of becoming a god! You can't stay with Uncle Xie all your life. If you want to have a good career in this sect, To develop, you still have to take the path of job promotion.”

"Now that you have practiced enough, you should accumulate more merit and select a captain as soon as possible. This is the right way."

"When you are my age, you will understand that spiritual stones are something external to the body after all. It is useless to accumulate more spiritual stones like me."

"I'll tell you what you don't like to hear. If Uncle Xie is transferred or resigns one day, do you think those people can sell you face and continue to cooperate with you? They will kick you away."

“Only when you have mastered functional power can you last long.”
