This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 278 Business Action

Amberson did not stand around in front of the ice sculpture, but directly found Harvey.

Although there are dealers to help sell products, Amberxiu still needs to set up a store on the surface for stocking goods and business negotiations.

 Harvey was the manager of this shop. Amberxiu said casually that he was here to discuss business and walked in easily.

Harvey is worrying about a pile of forms. These are new orders. The ice sculpture has a very good publicity effect, so orders for sunscreen are blowing in like a sandstorm, piling up Harvey's table.

The problem is that underground factories do not have such strong productivity. After all, there is only one furnace producing, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the whole country.

 Harvey hadn't thought about how to report to Amber Xiu, but unexpectedly the teacher ran up to him.

 Harvey quickly stood up and gave up his seat to the teacher and asked, "Teacher, why are you up here?"

"Of course I'm here to inspect the progress of the work." Amber Xiu glanced at the order above, and then said: "It seems that the results are good. The effect of this ice sculpture's promotion is really good."

“This is not just as simple as that. Our sunscreen has already formed a brand effect, and the desert cities in the Dwarf Kingdom are ready to ask for our goods. However, we cannot supply it at all.”

Amberxiu chuckled and said, "What are you afraid of? We are a unique market now. If we don't have enough goods, we will let them wait. They are the ones who are anxious now. We just need to do it step by step. Don't fantasize about improving when we see an explosion of orders." Productivity or something.

"This brand effect is temporary, and the quantity written on this order was filled in carelessly. There are only a few people in the desert, and the combined quantity of these orders is enough for the entire kingdom for ten years. They are afraid that others will order We just filled up all the sunscreen. If we expand production on this scale, we will suffer huge losses in the second year.”

Amberxiu has already done research, and his production arrangements are also based on the desert population. It may be a little conservative, but it will never be dozens of times worse.

 What he wants is a steady stream of water to maintain the brand of "The God of Alchemy's Selection".

 Make a fortune in a one-time explosion, and then there are too many products and no one wants them, which will reduce the value of the brand.

 Harvey seemed to understand, but he had no talent for doing business, so he decisively suggested that Amberxiu hire a professional.

Amberxiu said: "How can it be so easy to find professionals? People who know how to do business are as smart as ghosts. Ninety-nine percent of them want to turn other people's business into their own business. Those who are trustworthy and capable are better than Legends are still rare.”

Harvey retorted: "That's not true. Teacher, your requirements are too high. There are so many other shops, but the boss can't do it all by himself. How come they hired business talents?"

Although he admired Amberxiu as a teacher very much, Harvey also knew that his teacher didn't say many truths. When he wants to do things himself, he exaggerates the difficulty, and when he orders others to do things, he ignores the difficulties. He has very flexible standards, or in other words, no standards at all.

“Then this task will be left to you. You are responsible for recruiting people, you are responsible for screening, and if there is a problem, it is your responsibility.”

After Amberxiu said this, Harvey knew that he had been tricked again. The teacher had already predicted that he would refute, and then threw the task of recruiting people on him.

This ultra-high-intensity oppression made Harvey feel like he was sold into slavery again.

However, Harvey could only accept his fate. After all, his life was saved by his teacher.

“By the way, what’s going on with the ice sculpture?” Amberxiu asked.

Harvey explained: "Oh, that's Junior Sister Isabel's skill. According to your request, she made a special ice cube that looks like ice, is cool to the touch, but melts very slowly."

"The melting speed is very slow?" Amberxiu thought for a moment, and then said: "A special refrigerant was added, right? But the refrigerant is colored and cannot be as transparent as ice cubes."

Harvey praised and said: "Teacher, you are so amazing. You immediately thought of the key. Isabel did use a condensing agent, but I don't understand how to make it transparent. I don't really know anything about alchemy." Neither will."

Amberxiu didn't go into details. It was probably Isabel who had prepared a new type of colorless refrigerant. It seemed to be better than ordinary refrigerants, but she didn't know how much it cost. There was also a market for this thing in the desert.

This little girl is growing up quite fast. The previous youth potion was lucky to encounter a new type of material, but this new type of condensing agent is really her own achievement.

　　Before, I felt that Isabel’s reputation was too illusory and I was afraid that she would not be able to bear it. Now it seems that she will become a true master of alchemy sooner or later.

  It is indeed a great era of great changes, and all kinds of talents will emerge intensively during this period.

Amberxiu didn't pay too much attention to the ice sculpture. He gave Harvey a few instructions and corrected some minor work problems, and then he ran to the tavern in Manna City.

 The drones are being promoted again, so those looking for adventures will naturally come to the tavern.

However, after knowing that the publicity effect of sunscreen was excellent, Amberxiu slightly changed his plan and should make good use of the effect of this brand.

Sitting at the bar and ordering a glass of wine as usual, Amberxiu focused on the adventurers and quietly eavesdropped on everyone's conversations.

Amberxiu’s perception can capture all the sounds in the tavern, and he quickly finds a suitable target.

It was a tiefling rogue and an orc ranger, both lamenting the troubles of dungeon exploration. This orc ranger has recently switched to raising rats in order to explore the dungeon. But rats also died in piles. As a companion of these beasts, the ranger was under great mental pressure and was about to become depressed.

 Amber Xiu also understands this feeling very well. The contract between the ranger and the beast companion is close, not only the spiritual connection, but also sharing many feelings. If Naomi was killed, Ambrose would feel the same way. This orc ranger has already killed a bunch of rats, and the death of those pets hangs over him like a shadow. If he can survive until now, he has strong willpower.

The tiefling thief also understood this situation very well, but he said helplessly: "There is no way, this underground is like a maze. If you don't use your rats to find the way, too many people in our group will die. The reward of the mission The money is not even enough for pension.”

The orc ranger said angrily: "But it's time for them to change someone to explore the way. Isn't there another ranger?! Why doesn't he have to explore the way?!"

The tiefling thief said with emotion: "That's the leader's brother-in-law."

Amberxiu had a familiar feeling. When he was an adventurer, he had seen such adventure groups with relatives and friends, but in the end they would most likely split more seriously than a group of friends.

 The reason is very simple. It’s like falling in love within a company. Once they break up, it will be very embarrassing.

 Once an adventure group connected by blood encounters a life-or-death crisis and one person has a problem, the situation will be more serious than that of other adventure groups, because you cannot simply expel the person and be done with it.

And if this person stays in the team, it will naturally make the team more centrifugal.

  No adventure group is safe from accidents. If they take on too many tasks, they will encounter accidents sooner or later. This situation is absolutely impossible to avoid.

 Hence, adventure groups composed of relatives generally cannot be large, as family ties override rules, and they can only be small-scale adventures.

However, this kind of blood-linked adventure group is usually quite large in size. Because of this special relationship, it is easier for them to accept members, and it is easier to develop a tacit understanding at the beginning.

I can only say that there are gains and losses.

The two people in front of him were obviously outsiders who had been marginalized by the relatives' adventure group, and they were the "clients" that Amberxiu needed most.

Without thinking, Amberxiu took out the smallest four-wing drone and flew it directly onto the table of the two adventurers.

The tiefling rogue and the orc ranger were startled by the sudden appearance of such a delicate little thing.

"What is this stuff?"

 “It seems like...a golem puppet?”

“I’ve never seen such a small one. Is the magic power furnace already able to achieve such a small size?”

“No, I don’t feel right. This thing seems to have dark magic power.”

 …

Amberxiu looked at the two people who were surprised and wary, and came directly to them holding the wine glass.

"Both of you, I am an alchemist. This is my new work, specially made for exploring underground ruins. Although this drone is small, it is heavy enough to carry a memory crystal. It can do things like pathfinding. Rats do better."

Amberxiu was selling the product enthusiastically, but the two adventurers didn't believe it at all.

Having been an adventurer for so many years, I have never seen a liar. Ninety-nine percent of those who brag about their products are liars. I have never heard of drones or things that are invisible to the magic power furnace. Where does the power come from? I'm afraid it's not a wind-up toy.

Amberxiu knew that the two of them would not believe this, so he took out a remote control and handed it to the orc ranger, and then said: "Try it for free for half an hour. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to buy it. By the way, I am the spirit of alchemy." Choose a product, do you know that sunscreen is very popular recently? Come on, here is a sample for you.”

Amberxiu took out two boxes of sunscreen and presented them to the two people.

They will definitely not miss something given away for free. Even if it contains poison, they just need to find someone to check it before using it.

 After receiving Amber Xiu’s gift, the attitudes of the two adventurers improved a lot.

The orc ranger held up a remote control with only a few buttons and asked: "Can this thing really detect paths?"

“If you don’t believe me, try it. The remote control range is five hundred meters in a straight line, and the functions above are also very simple. This is exploration, this is return, this is..."

Amberxiu gave a brief introduction, and the orc ranger understood it. He touched his chin and said, "I heard that there is a bathroom specifically for female adventurers on the second floor of this tavern. How about giving it a try?"

 Amberson:…

 What a waste, no wonder the people in the adventure group want to isolate you!
