Chapter 1117: Chapter 1117 Practicing Cultivation Technique_1
"Peter, come and have some tea. This tea is hard to come by and it’s got a lot of energy in it." Seeing Peter bring more elixir, Fred Anderson’s face was already full of smiles. Recently, Peter had made a fortune, but for Fred, it was as if he too had basked in the glory. The Higher-Ups were very satisfied with his work and even had intentions of promoting him.
"These are five bottles of medicinal liquid." Peter put down the five jars he had brought with him on the table.
"Peter, I was just about to talk to you about this. Between us, the market demand for your elixir is too high now. I wanted to discuss with you if it’s possible to increase the supply. Five bottles really are too few."
Peter shook his head and said, "I won’t hide it from you. This isn’t just my business; many others are involved. The main issue is that the ingredients are hard to find. It seems like two thousand per can is a lot, but in reality, our profit margins are slim. Some people are already suggesting that we stop production."
"What?" Fred jumped to his feet, suddenly anxious. He raised his voice, "How can we stop with such a good market?"
"The key issue is the low profit margin; nobody wants to do it anymore. There’s nothing I can do."
"But the profit situation can be improved. We can talk about it," Fred said, truly desperate. He had just been praised by The Higher-Ups, and now they were talking about stopping; what would he do?
Peter lifted his teacup and took a sip, then said, "I won’t hide it from you, they’ve inquired in Kingston as well. They say that your selling price is very high, and many are dissatisfied, suggesting we might as well open up our own market."
Fred was even more shocked. To be honest, Celebration Rich Hall had really taken advantage of the situation with the medicinal liquid. They bought it from Peter for two thousand per can and sold it in Kingston for twenty thousand—a sky-high profit—and still it was in short supply. Hearing from Peter that the people behind him were not satisfied, Fred truly panicked.
"Here’s the thing, Peter. I will report this situation to The Higher-Ups. If the price is right, would you be able to continue supplying?"
"As long as there is a profit to be made, not making money is foolish."
"That’s good, wait here for a moment."
As Fred hurried off, Peter sat calmly drinking his tea.
In the beginning, there were no channels, and no one recognized the potential of this medicinal liquid. Peter could only sell it cheaply. Now that Celebration Rich Hall had taken such advantage, it made no sense for Peter to continue selling at such a low price. He came today to negotiate the price.
Not long afterwards, Fred hurried back. He looked at Peter and asked, "What kind of price do you think is appropriate?"
Peter smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I don’t know what price would convince the people behind me. Not only have they checked the price of this medicinal liquid in the province, but they’ve also checked in Kingston. They say you’re making too much!"
Hearing this, Fred’s face twitched. He thought that Peter’s group only knew the prices in the province, not expecting they were already well-informed about Kingston. Now, pressing for a lower price was impossible.
"We’re old customers. Although the selling price is high in Kingston, we also had to establish some connections, and after all, we need to make some money too, right?" Fred tried to argue.
Seeing Peter still looking calm, Fred had no choice but to reveal his bottom line, "Peter, I’ll be honest with you, since you already know the situation, ten thousand crystal coins per can is my final offer—I can’t go any higher!"
Ten thousand!
Peter was just probing, and he truly didn’t expect it to fetch such a high price. He realized then that there really were too many wealthy people in the Immortal Realm.
After pondering for a while, holding his teacup, Peter said, "You have a point, you still need to open up the market. If we did it ourselves, we might not do as well as you. Ten thousand seems to be an acceptable price to everyone. Everyone would get a bit more money, and I believe they would agree to this."
Finally, Fred sighed with relief and said, "That’s settled then, ten thousand crystal coins per can. Peter, can you let everyone know? Five bottles a day is really too few; we need to increase production or else our profit margins are too slim."
Peter started calculating in his mind. Now that he had more money, he could specifically manufacture some production equipment. If these devices were used for automation, perhaps they could easily make dozens of bottles a day.
Of course, Peter decided that without significant power or influence, he shouldn’t sell in large quantities; ten jars a day was more appropriate. This way, it wouldn’t attract too much attention.
"Let’s do this, I’ll work on it. I’ll increase the amount by one to two times. What do you think?"
With a smile on his face, Fred responded, "Thanks, Peter. Keep a close eye on this matter. By the way, I have a small gift for you, please accept it."
When Fred handed over a book, Peter looked at it and saw a few words on the cover.
"Wild Bull Strength!"
"Peter, this is an Immortal Cultivation Technique for the Day after tomorrow. Although it’s not the best, it’s still rare. If practiced well, one can directly cultivate to the level of Immortal Power," Fred said with a smile, readily seeing that Peter was just an Immortal Body without any secret methods to practice. Believing that Peter would appreciate the gift, he really invested a lot to maintain good relations.
"How can I accept this?" Although Peter didn’t really need this kind of Cultivation Technique, it was still a method of cultivation in the Immortal Realm—a system he was eager to study—and this basic Cultivation Technique was just what he needed for his research.
"No worries, please take it. We’ll still need to rely on your efforts regarding the medicinal liquid in the future."
Peter declined a few times before finally accepting the gift. After accepting, Peter said, "I heard they want to buy a flying vehicle for delivery, so I don’t have to carry it by myself anymore. Using a flying vehicle for delivery would be more convenient."
"That’s exactly what I was going to talk about. Celebration Rich Hall has prepared a flying vehicle for you, capable of a one-time delivery of twenty cans of medicinal liquid. Here is the payment voucher; you can go and collect it whenever you want."
Peter hadn’t expected the other party to offer such an item.
Looking at the payment voucher and the delivery note handed over by Fred, Peter inwardly praised him for considering everything. If they had already purchased the flying vehicle, they might worry he would suspect they installed surveillance or something. But now, with this arrangement, everyone could be at ease.
That’s how to run a successful business!
Now, Peter was also amazed at the strength of Celebration Rich Hall. Fortunately, he pretended to be a part of a powerful faction; otherwise, he didn’t even want to imagine what the outcome might have been.
