Chapter 30: Showing Good Will
After a while, the door of the reception room opened.
The maid led two servants in carrying three large bags and several wooden boxes, and smiled with a more sincere and enthusiastic attitude than before:
"Two young masters, these are the medicinal materials you want, all packed!"
"In addition, our boss has specially instructed that this transaction will be reduced to 20,000 gold coins!"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai's eyes were thoughtful.
Xiao Yan asked curiously: "Why is your boss doing this?"
The maid smiled and said: "You two don't have to think too much, the boss said that he just wants to make a good relationship with the two young masters!"
Xiao Bai didn't say anything, and his soul power scanned the medicinal materials in the large bags and boxes. After confirming that the number and quality were no problem, he waved his hand and put them into the ring.
He took out 23,800 gold coins and said to the maid:
"Please tell your boss that we appreciate your kindness, but we won't accept it without merit. Let's buy it at the original price!"
Then he left the Miteer Auction House with Xiao Yan.
The top floor of Miteer Auction House is decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, magnificent and full of luxury.
Looking down from here, the view in front of the gate of Miteer Auction House is unobstructed.
At this time, two figures stood in front of the window, a young woman and a white-haired old man, silently watching the backs of Xiao Bai and the others leaving.
"Master Gu Ni, are you sure they bought the medicinal materials for refining Blood Coagulation Powder?" The young woman asked the old man next to her in a charming voice.
The woman has a pair of slightly upturned peach blossom eyes, with spring water in her eyes, clear waves and flowing gazes, her lips are soft and fragrant, and her face is more beautiful than flowers.
The long, smooth wine-red hair is tied into a bun, which makes her look very capable. She is wearing a red cheongsam, which tightly outlines her mature and graceful body, and her every frown and smile is breathtaking.
The vigorous old man next to him ignored it and nodded and said, "Yes, those are indeed the three herbs for refining the first-grade elixir, the Blood Coagulation Powder!"
The woman gently waved the round fan with her bare hands, pondered for a moment, and said to the person behind her:
"Go and call Xiao Shiliu, Ah Da, and Ah San up, I have something to ask them!"
The maid behind her whispered and then went out. After a while, she brought three people up, who were the three people who had just delivered the herbs to Xiao Bai and the others.
"Xiao Shiliu (A Da, Ah San) greets the boss!" The three of them saluted to the charming woman in front of the window.
"No need to be polite, Xiao Shiliu, you have lived in Wutan City since you were a child, do you know the two people just now?" The woman asked the maid who had just received Xiao Bai softly.
"To the boss, Xiao Shiliu doesn't know, but Ah Da should know!" The maid Xiao Shiliu said.
"Oh?" The woman's eyes moved and looked at one of the two servants.
Ah Da is usually responsible for delivering goods. This job requires him to travel all over Wutan City. He knows all kinds of gossips in Wutan City and is naturally well-informed.
At this moment, Ah Da saw the charming and attractive hostess's eyes fall on him, and his breathing became a little rapid and his face flushed.
From the first time he saw this hostess, he was shocked by her beauty. Her charming jade face and moving body made him think of her every night and couldn't stop.
"Ah Da, Ah Da?" Xiao Shiliu, who was standing aside, saw Ah Da standing there blankly without answering, and quickly reached out and pushed him.
Ah Da woke up immediately, and seeing that everyone was staring at him, his face became even redder, and he hurriedly stammered: "Reply... hostess, those two people should... should be from the Xiao family!"
"Xiao family?" The charming woman stroked her seductive red lips with her fingers and murmured, without any fluctuations in her heart at the reaction of the man in front of her.
In the past few years, she had seen too many men show this kind of look to her, and she also knew the dirty thoughts in their hearts. At first, she was very annoyed.
But later she found that if everyone minded, she would not be able to live, so now she just turned a blind eye to such people.
"Do you know who they are from the Xiao family?"
"Return to the boss, I don't know the young one, but the young man with gray hair should be called Xiao Bai!"
He only knew about this when the Xiao family discussed Xiao Bai in the market two days ago. With gray hair and a young face, he knew there was such a person after living in Wutan City for so many years.
"Xiao Bai?" The charming woman was thoughtful, as if she knew this name.
When she was in the imperial capital, she heard Nalan Yanran say that the Xiao family had two geniuses and two wastes.
It seems that the other one is Nalan Yanran's fiancé Xiao Yan.
Thinking of this, she was a little disappointed. This time she came to Wutan City, she had finally asked the family elders of her lineage to fight for it.
It is an experience, but also a bet.
The family was planning to marry her to the Mu family, one of the three major families in the empire. She didn't want to accept her fate and asked the elders to send her to this small border city.
For this reason, she signed a bet with the family. Within two years, she had to double the profits of the Wutan City branch of the Miteer Auction House. Only then would the family recognize her value and not force her to marry.
But this was easier said than done. The annual revenue and net profit of the Wutan City branch was 300,000 gold coins, which was 600,000 in two years, and she had to expand the profit to 1.2 million in two years.
In order to succeed this time, she spent a lot of favors to invite Gu Ni, a second-grade Alchemist, to help her complete this task, but now it seems that it is still not enough.
Although this city looks prosperous on the surface, it is not rich. People coming and going are all mercenaries, and these people cannot bring profits.
When she was in the imperial capital, she heard that there was no Alchemist union here, not even an Alchemist, and thought that bringing an Alchemist here would definitely complete the task.
But after coming here, she learned about the situation here. It is not unreasonable that there is no Alchemist here.
Because there are no Alchemists here, there is a profession that is very crowded - doctors. The profession of doctors does not have the harsh conditions of Alchemists. As long as you are familiar with the pharmacology of medicinal materials, almost anyone can become a doctor.
They can compile various medicinal materials into various prescriptions according to the pharmacology of medicinal materials, or mix them into small pills, or boil them according to the prescription, and they can also achieve some effects of first-grade or second-grade elixirs.
However, this method is not as pure as the medicinal properties in the elixir, it contains a lot of impurities, and the effect is not as good as the elixir, but it has an advantage that the elixir cannot match.
Cheap!
You have to know who the main consumers of Wutan City are, they are the mercenaries who enter the Warcraft Mountains. They buy things for the same reason - cheap and effective.
This has impacted the price of Wutan City's first-grade elixir. It can definitely be sold, after all, the effect is there, but if it is sold at a high price, people will not buy it, resulting in an extremely low profit margin for the elixir.
Of course, if the price is cheaper, it can still make money, but she only has one Alchemist, and how much can she refine continuously for twelve hours a day.
So when she heard someone buy a large amount of first-grade medicinal materials, she thought she would show her goodwill to an Alchemist in the hope of winning him over. But now it seems that this person is not an Alchemist at all!
The charming woman shook her head bitterly.
