Chapter five hundred and seventieth popularity competition
Three days later, in the morning.
While Luo Chen was practicing in the west city gate tower, Shi Jing came over in a hurry.
"What's the matter?"
In the main hall of the city tower, Luo Chen sat cross-legged on a futon, frowning slightly as he watched the scene that hurriedly walked in.
"Young Master, something happened!"
Shi Jing looked anxious and walked up to Luo Chen in three steps as two steps. He didn't care about anything else and said urgently:
"The Huang family hired a junior alchemist from nowhere. Just today, the Huang family's Huichun Hall launched three new medicines, attracting all the popularity in the market."
"Junior alchemist?"
Luo Chen's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he asked in confusion: "Where did the alchemist come from? How did he come here?"
Alchemists are scarce, and every alchemist is the target of various forces competing to win over. Luo Chen really can't understand why an alchemist would give up other good places and instead come to a remote place like Maple Leaf City.
"My subordinates don't know either!"
Shi Jing shook his head and said solemnly: "I just sent someone to inquire. I only know that the alchemist's name is Yue Li and that he came to the Huang family three days ago. I don't know the rest."
"Yueli?"
Under Luo Chen's frown, his eyes pondered for a second. He knew very few alchemists, but he had never heard of this name.
But none of this matters!
Luo Chen stood up slowly, and after thinking for a moment, he waved his hand: "Tell me about the three new drugs they launched!"
"yes!"
Shi Guangming nodded, licked his lips that were thirsty due to anxiety, and said:
"Their three new medicines! One is the Peiyuan Pill that improves cultivation. Although the effectiveness of the Peiyuan Pill is a little worse than our Blood Jade Pill, the difference is not big, and their price is fifty dollars less than ours.
The Yuan Stone only sells for eight hundred and fifty Yuan Stones. As soon as this elixir was released, it instantly took away our high-end market!"
"The second is the special Qi-Building Pill. This Qi-Building Pill is not prepared by those alchemists on the market, but is refined by that alchemist. Its efficacy is six times higher than that of ordinary Qi-Building Pills.
Times, as soon as it was launched, it immediately attracted people to rush for it."
"The third one is Zhixue Powder. Huichuntang's Zhixue Powder has been improved. Although it is not as effective as our special Zhixue Powder, it is much better than the ordinary products on the market, and their price is one third less than ours.
, when those warriors saw this, most of them gave up on our special effect hemostatic powder. After all, it is their first choice because of its good effect and favorable price!"
With that said, Shi Jing took out two more medicine bottles from his arms and handed them to Luo Chen, and continued:
"This is their Qi-Building Pill and Hemostasis Powder! The Peiyuan Pill is very popular, and its sales are restricted like ours, so my subordinates didn't buy it!"
"Um!"
Luo Chen nodded, frowned and took the medicine bottle, then opened it and looked at it.
The hemostatic powder was just an ordinary product. Luo Chen glanced at it and stopped looking at it. He mainly took a serious look at the Qi-Building Pill.
"Yes! It was indeed made by an alchemist!"
Luo Chen was an alchemy master, so he could naturally see the difference in the Qi-Building Pill at a glance. However, after reading it, Luo Chen's brows widened and his face returned to calmness.
After handing the medicine bottle back to Shi Jing, Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said:
"Let's lower the price of our Blood Jade Pill and Special Effect Hemostasis Powder to the same as the Huang family. The pills have different effects but the same price. Those people know how to choose!"
"This...what if the Huang family lowers the price again?"
Shi Jing frowned and looked at Luo Chen hesitantly.
"The worst we can do is start a price war!"
Luo Chen sneered and said indifferently: "If they lower the price again, we will also lower it to see who can survive!"
Luo Chen is not afraid of such a price war at all. He owns the Blue Spirit Pearl, and over such a long time, several batches of the common medicinal materials in it have matured.
With such materials being abundant and the cost being negligible, Luo Chen really didn't believe that the Huang family could afford to play with him!
"Then what if we lose money? These alchemy materials, manpower and material resources all require costs!"
Shi Jing's face was still solemn.
"fine!"
Luo Chen shook his head and gave a reassuring smile: "We are worried, and the Huang family will be worried too! No matter how much the price is reduced, it will never be lower than the cost. The Huang family knows this, and now it depends on who can bear it more.
!”
"yes!"
When Shi Jing heard this, he felt relieved a little.
But then, Shi Jing thought of something else, frowned again, and said solemnly:
"Young Master, there is another Qi-Building Pill. If this is not solved, we will still be at a disadvantage!"
"You don't have to worry about this!"
Luo Chen waved his hand and said with a smile: "In two days I will give you a batch of Qi-tonifying pills refined by alchemists. You can just take them to Lingdan Pavilion and sell them."
"Um?"
Shi Jing was stunned for a moment, looking at Luo Chen with hesitation in his eyes.
But Shi Jing reacted in the next second. He thought of Luo Chen's status as a student. There were alchemist students in Kasyapa Academy. It would not be difficult for Luo Chen to get this Qi-tonifying pill.
With everything settled, Shi Jing breathed a sigh of relief, and then he didn't stay for long. After saying goodbye to Luo Chen, he hurriedly left the tower and went to make arrangements.
As soon as Shi Jing left, Luo Chen's expression slowly calmed down, and he sat down cross-legged again to practice.
The matter of Qi-Building Pills is not urgent. Luo Chen plans to return to Ziwu Villa in the evening to do it. With ten to one time in the Blue Spirit Pearl, Luo Chen can refine a batch of Qi-Building Pills in one night.
And when Luo Chen was practicing without any distractions.
The two markets near the West City Gate were going crazy at this time.
The Hui Chun Tang in Nan City launched the Pei Yuan Dan, the special Qi Replenishing Pill, and the improved version of Zhixue Powder, but the price was lower than that of Ling Dan Pavilion. It immediately attracted all the popularity of Bei City and restored Nan City to its original glory.
bustling.
However, the prosperity of Nanshi only lasted for less than half a day, and another breaking news spread in Fangshi:
Beishi Lingdan Pavilion's Blood Jade Pill and Special Effect Hemostasis Powder have been reduced in price!
As soon as this news came out, everyone who had lined up in the South City to grab it rushed into the North City.
Everyone is old people who have been in the market, so they naturally know what is good and what is bad. At the same price, of course they will buy good quality.
"Asshole!"
On the third floor of the Huichun Hall, Huang Qi, the head of the Huang family, looked at the people running towards Bei City on the street outside the window, and his face suddenly darkened.
Huichun Hall launched a new medicine today. Huang Qi was admiring the grand event in front of the window, but he didn't expect that Lingdan Pavilion would also lower the price.
With a gloomy face, Huang Qi turned his head to look at Huang Li next to him, and shouted:
"Pass it on, the Pei Yuan Dan will cost you five Yuan Stones and sell for 845! The price of Zhixue Powder has also been reduced, from one Yuan Stone per bottle to two Yuan Stones and three bottles!"
"this......"
Huang Li hesitated for a while and said with worried eyes: "Master! That person has set a minimum commission. Even if we lower the price, his 80% profit will still be the same, and it can only be more but not less! If we lower the price, then we can earn a lot.
Even less!”
"Hmph! It's okay!"
Huang Qi's eyes were stern and he said coldly: "We have cost pressure, and so does Ziwu Villa! If they lower their prices again, we will continue to do so! Our goal is to bring down Ziwu Villa, even if we don't earn Yuan Stone, we will bring them down.
!I don’t believe that with the foundation of my old Huang family, I can’t bring down a newly established small force! What’s more, we still have the income from Qi-Building Pills, which can completely relieve our pressure.”
"Yes! I'll give the order right away!"
When Huang Li heard this, he thought this was true, so he said no more and went downstairs to make arrangements.
When Huang Li came downstairs, the prices at the Huichun Hall changed. Suddenly, the people who were running towards Bei City stopped and returned to the Huichun Hall, continuing to line up enthusiastically.
But the price of Huichun Hall was lowered, and the price of Lingdan Pavilion was also reduced, and everyone went crazy again.
At this time, everyone had come to their senses and knew that the two families were fighting secretly, so they were no longer in a hurry to buy. They watched the excitement and waited for the prices of the two families to drop to the lowest, so they could enjoy the delicious food.
dividend.
Just as everyone expected, in the next two days, the prices of the pills from the two companies dropped again and again, until they dropped to the point where a Peiyuan Pill or a Blood Jade Pill only cost 700 yuan stones, while the Zhixue Powder cost only 700 yuan stones.
It's a primeval stone with four bottles.
At this price, the Huang family finally stopped cutting prices, because this price had already guaranteed capital, and they were just waiting to use this price to drag down Ziwu Villa.
At this time, the popularity of the two cities in the north and the south was about the same. Lingdan Pavilion attracted people with the quality of its elixirs, while Huichun Hall saved the situation with its unique special effects of Qi-replenishing elixirs.
However, this balance did not last long before a straw broke the balance.
