Due to fierce competition in the pharmacist industry, everyone lowers each other's prices and seizes the market, so profits have been greatly reduced. Star Pharmacy, including Star Pharmacy, has to attract customers at low prices. Among the pharmacists' customer base, those large guilds are the largest consumers.
Groups, they have money, and in order to save guild expenses, they often buy medicines in batches. Because the purchase volume is huge, they will try their best to keep the price down. And those ordinary pharmacies, in order to be able to get big orders, even those guild customers
They offer very low prices and very small profits, but they are also willing to take orders and win by quantity. In order to attract long-term customers, some pharmacies even hesitate to lose money to take orders at the beginning, which shows how fierce the competition is.
The small workshop-style pharmacies are not comparable in scale to Star Pharmacy, nor can they keep up with the variety of medicines, etc., but they still survive by relying on low prices. However, their pharmacists are more miserable and often work long hours.
More than ten hours, and the pay is not satisfactory.
Each major guild also has its own team of pharmacists, which are also of a certain scale. However, the medicines produced by their pharmacists are generally only supplied to the guild, and the supply is often in short supply. The pharmaceutical industry of a guild can be as large as the Starry Sky Pharmacy of the Niu Ren Tribe.
It can be said to be unique. The pharmacists of guilds such as Angel Hegemony, God-killing Sword, and Empire of Light and Darkness can supply 30% of the guild's needs, which is already a high standard, and it is impossible to have any remaining potions for sale. They mainly
Rely on large-scale purchasing from outside pharmacies.
There are nearly 150,000 to 60,000 pharmacists in the Niu Ren Tribe. They are all elite-level and receive high salaries. There are millions of pharmacists outside, with varying levels of skills. They can meet the recruitment standards of Starry Sky Pharmacy.
It is estimated that it is only about 100,000. His target is mid- to high-level pharmacists. As for low-end pharmacists, although they will also absorb some, it is simply impossible to absorb millions of people.
Therefore, his main focus is on the mid-to-high-level potion market. There are too many low-level potions, and they are sold at street stalls everywhere. Even if this part of the market is controlled, it does not have much value. A bottle of mid-to-high-end potion is cheap for five or six gold coins.
The expensive ones are even hundreds of gold coins, while the low-level medicines cost one or two silver coins per bottle, and the cheap ones are even dozens of copper coins. The added value is also small. It is difficult to achieve industrialization. As long as the mid-level and high-level pharmacists are controlled within
Even if you control this market, as for those low-level pharmacists, when they are promoted to mid-level and high-level, Starry Sky Pharmacy will offer high salaries. I don’t believe those guys won’t be tempted.
Taking all circumstances into consideration, this market still has great potential.
Under the guidance of Nie Yan and Guo Huai, players from the awesome tribe began to buy mid- to high-level medicinal herbs from major auction houses. Under normal circumstances, low-level medicinal herbs would not be thrown into the auction house, because low-level medicinal herbs were placed in auction houses.
In the auction house, you can't even earn back the handling fees.
Nie Yan estimated that it would take about five to six million gold coins to consume about 50% of the mid- to high-grade herbs produced in the market that day. Players consume a lot of medicines every day. With his acquisitions, the amount of medicines on the market has increased.
As the number of medicinal herbs decreases, the previously stored medicinal herbs will be slowly consumed. Continuous purchasing for five or six days is enough to move the price of medicinal herbs.
The more money invested, the greater the impact on the price of medicinal herbs.
Since Nie Yan started raising funds, the Holy Roman Empire, Jialan Temple, God of War Tribe, Bright Flame and Mad War Alliance within the Niu Ren Tribe have all started raising funds. For a whole day, the effect of raising funds was quite good. Nie Yan made statistics.
, the Holy Roman Empire raised 2.2 million gold coins, the Jialan Temple raised 2 million gold coins, the God of War Tribe raised 2.8 million gold coins, the Bright Flame raised 2 million gold coins, the Mad War Alliance raised 1.9 million gold coins, and the major branches of the Niu Ren Tribe raised
3.6 million gold coins were raised, and the Niu Ren tribe raised 6.5 million gold coins internally. In total, there are more than 20 million gold coins, and the number is still increasing.
In addition to this money, Nie Yan modified the system of the guild warehouse. Each guild pair donated a gold coin, which can obtain nearly 50% more guild contribution than usual. At this time, the speed of players donating gold coins increased significantly.
In just one day, the guild warehouse alone raised 1.2 million gold coins, but the number of equipment in the guild warehouse was also reduced by nearly 10%.
Such a big move by the Niu Ren Tribe quickly attracted the attention of the Monet Consortium.
God-Killing Sword Headquarters.
Qin Han was still anxiously waiting for news from the Necromancer Boardman. His army of skeletons was standing still and only occasionally harassed the fortress of the Niu tribe. He had to wait for the Necromancer Boardman to return before he dared to continue sending troops.
"Boss, the Niu Ren Tribe has been raising funds recently. At least nearly 20 million gold coins have been raised so far." Shenjian Wushuang said. He was shocked after receiving the news. A guild's ability to raise funds is different from that of the guild.
Credit is directly proportional. Ordinary guilds spend money very quickly and have to send a lot of money to the players below every day to maintain the normal operation of the guild. However, it is extremely difficult to get money from below.
Take God-Killing Sword as an example. For God-Killing Sword, it is already very good if it can raise one million gold coins from below. However, the Niu Ren Tribe can actually raise more than 20 million gold coins. This is terrible.
Qin Han frowned and asked: "What do the Niu Ren tribe want to do after raising so much money?"
"I don't know, we haven't found any movement of this fund." Shenjian Wushuang said.
The daily transaction volume in the auction house is so large that even if there are some abnormalities, it is difficult to detect, especially since Nie Yan's stall is so open and he purchases medicinal herbs in so many cities at the same time, it will not cause any fluctuations in the market. This kind of
Under the circumstances, it was impossible for Shenjian Wushuang to find out the flow of Nie Yan's funds.
"Pay close attention!" Qin Han said in a deep voice. Nie Yan must have made big moves after raising such a large amount of funds.
"Yes!" Shenjian Wushuang responded, he sent people to search the flow of Nie Yan's funds.
In the Auction House of the City of Thunder and Fire, an ordinary-looking player wearing an ordinary production professional robe entered the auction house.
He opened the column of medicinal herbs in the auction house and began to buy in large quantities. He bid for everything that was within a reasonable price range.
Soon, more than 80,000 gold coins were used up. After doing this, he quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Several players in the auction house who had just sold a large amount of medicinal herbs and pocketed gold coins were all smiles.
"The sales of medicinal herbs are really good today. I sold out all three groups of medicinal herbs and got twenty gold coins."
"Mine too."
"Tomorrow I will take out all the remaining herbs and sell them."
As for the pharmacists on the other corner, they originally wanted to come here to purchase some herbs at low prices to make potions, but found that there were no herbs at the right price, so they all left one after another. Anyway, they still had a certain amount of potions in their pharmacy.
It can still be sold for a few days.
Almost every auction house in the city has encountered a similar situation, but because the movement was relatively small, it did not attract the players' attention.
The same situation continued on the second day, the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day. Although it attracted the attention of some players in the first few days, they did not pay enough attention. By the fifth day, there was a shortage of medicinal materials.
The situation began to show up slowly. Players who sold medicinal herbs began to consciously increase the price of medicinal herbs, while pharmacists, because the prices of medicinal herbs were too expensive, were worried that no one would want the medicines they produced, so they were all in a wait-and-see state.
They have to wait for the price of medicinal herbs to come down before eating them. Some people have no choice but to buy high-priced medicinal herbs because some of the potions in their pharmacies have been sold out. If they don't make new potions for sale, the pharmacies will be out of stock.
Many people think that the price of medicinal herbs will drop sooner or later because the market demand is not that great. However, the era of low-priced medicinal herbs is gone forever. Medicinal herbs are soaring day by day, and the price of each medium and high-grade medicinal herb is
, have all increased by at least 50%, and some scarce herbs have even increased by two or three times.
Nie Yan returned to Xingkong Pharmacy. In order to store the herbs, Xingkong Pharmacy specially customized a large warehouse that only Nie Yan could open.
The herbs here are Nie Yan's wealth and life. If something goes wrong, the tribe of great people will be doomed, so he has to be cautious.
Nie Yan walked to the warehouse and opened it. A lot of warehouse space immediately appeared. Each page was 5,000 squares. The herbs here were placed in categories. A large number of herbs of the same category were placed on each page. Some herbs were
There are as many as tens of thousands of groups, and some have five or six thousand groups, with a group of twenty trees.
Nie Yan looked at the number of pages. There were five to six hundred pages.
Currently, he has consumed nearly 60% of the herbs on the herb market!
All the pharmacists in the Niu Ren tribe were gathered together. They received a large amount of medicinal herbs and began to work hard to produce medicines on a large scale. A large amount of medicines were shipped to various branches of Starry Sky Pharmacy every day.
The prices of medicines in various branches of Xingkong Pharmacy have basically increased by more than 50%, and some are quite outrageous, with prices soaring several times. However, such prices have only just reached the same level as the prices of medicinal raw materials on the market.
"Guo Huai, how much money do we have?" Nie Yan asked.
"There are only five or six million left." Guo Huaidao said that he has been spending money like water in recent days. More than 30 million gold coins were used up in a few days. Even if you have money, you won't spend like this!
"It doesn't matter, the price of medicinal herbs has entered an upward channel. Even if we don't purchase it, the price will continue to rise." Nie Yan said with a smile.
After thinking about it for a moment, Guo Huai understood that their purchase of medicinal herbs was the same as speculating on futures in the market. One-tenth of the purchase price could move the price of futures, not to mention that Nie Yan had purchased so many medicinal herbs and there was a shortage of medicinal herbs.
