So Low Cost
"So you're saying that there's more than one box of Doctor Kang's special edition Golden Creation every year?" Lin Yi asked.
"One box? There's at least twenty boxes every year, but it's usually a limited price auction. The highest bid is five hundred thousand, and it goes to whoever bids five hundred thousand first. It saves the tedious bidding process, "Fatty Lai said. Fatty Lai said, "Twenty boxes, let's see who's faster. The first to bid 500,000 will get it first."
"So you're saying that each box is sold for five hundred thousand?" Lin Yi nodded and continued asking.
"Not really, but the first few boxes were sold for five hundred thousand, and as the number of bidders dwindled, the price naturally dropped. There were four hundred thousand and three hundred thousand," Fatty Lai said.
"Five hundred thousand is fine. Let's see if there's a pharmacy nearby, I'll buy some more herbs." Lin Yi nodded, thinking that the profit was fair. It wasn't as much as the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, but it wasn't a small amount. Most importantly, it could make a name for itself.
"Ugh …" Fatty Lai was already used to Lin Yi's miraculous feats. Lin Yi was probably the only one who'd concocted medicine the night before the auction. He quickly said, "Then I'll contact someone to buy some high-quality packaging and send it over overnight?"
"No need, I'll buy some disposable bottles and put them in." Lin Yi waved his hand. "Let them believe it or not. If they believe it, they'll bid. If they don't, they won't bid."
"That's true, there's no need to worry about selling good medicine. What's the point of giving them such good medicine?" Fatty Lai nodded. "It'll save us a lot of money!"
"Ha …" Lin Yi thought that Fatty Lai was really made for business. It seemed that leaving the medicine company to him was a wise decision. "Right, what's the market price of Doctor Kang's Golden Creation?"
"Doctor Kang's Golden Creation is two hundred and ninety-nine yuan a box, and our injury medicine, I think, will be priced at two hundred and eighty-eight yuan." Fatty Lai said. "But I don't know what our cost is, so we haven't announced the price yet."
"What? We're selling it at 288 RMB? " Lin Yi's eyes widened. Doctor Kang actually sold a box of ordinary Jinchuang Medicine for nearly 300 RMB. Wasn't this a little too much? Who would be able to afford something that concerned the livelihood of the people if it was so expensive?
Lin Yi naturally waved his sword and slaughtered those who didn't like him, but as for those poor people, Lin Yi really didn't have the thought of swindling their money.
"Too cheap?" Fatty Lai was shocked when he saw Lin Yi's expression, "Boss, Doctor Kang's Golden Creation is only selling for 299. Although the supply can't meet the demand, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the market if we sell it at a higher price than him! I also know that our treatment is definitely better than his! "
Lin Yi heard Fatty Lai's words and knew that he had misunderstood. He couldn't help but smile. "The cost of this thing is only a few kuai. I think it's a little expensive!"
"Quack? How much? " Fatty Lai froze and almost fell to the ground. "Boss, did I hear it wrong? A few kuai? How is that possible? Then isn't the cost of Doctor Kang's Golden Creation also a few kuai? "
"I don't know about his, I've never seen it before." Lin Yi shook his head. "But this is our cost. I suggest that we sell it at a lower price so that normal people can afford it!"
"Alright, then we'll be a company that benefits the people!" Fatty Lai clenched his teeth and said with pain, "Then we'll sell it for 199!"
He was an unscrupulous businessman, but since Lin Yi said it, Fatty Lai couldn't insist. From his point of view, 288 would definitely sell well, and there might even be a situation where the supply couldn't meet the demand.
One hundred and ninety-nine? In fact, Lin Yi still felt that it was a little expensive, but he didn't know how much money a company needed to operate. Seeing Fatty Lai's painful expression, he nodded. "Okay."
Fatty Lai let out a sigh of relief. He was also afraid that Lin Yi would cut down another 100 kuai and make it 99 kuai. Then the profit would be much lower!
"Then I'll make a plan. The next time we auction our products, we'll announce the retail price!" Fatty Lai nodded. "Boss, how much do you think we should set the price for the painkiller?"
"The cost of one dose is around 50 kuai. Of course, it'll be lower if we mass produce it. You decide the price," Lin Yi said.
"Okay, then we'll set a box of 5 at 199 kuai?" Fatty Lai probed.
"Ninety-nine." Lin Yi said after some thought.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, Boss!" In fact, Fatty Lai was afraid that Lin Yi would bargain with him, so he set the price a little higher to give Lin Yi some room to bargain.
After confirming the price of the two drugs, Fatty Lai was relieved. Most importantly, he knew the cost of the drugs, which made him even happier. This meant that Lin Yi had already treated him as one of his own, and he was slowly telling him some of the core things.
They passed by a larger pharmacy, and Lin Yi and the other two walked in. Lin Yi didn't use a prescription, but just dictated some herbs and let the attendant weigh them.
Of course, although Lin Yi had built up some trust in Fatty Lai, it wasn't complete. When he was filling the prescription, he purposely added some useless herbs, and the dosage was also messed up. There were also a few main herbs that Lin Yi didn't mention. He only mentioned a few uncommon ones, but the attendant shook his head.
"It's okay, there are a lot of pharmacies in Yanjing. Let's go take a look at other pharmacies." Fatty Lai quickly said to Lin Yi. "If it's not okay, I'll get someone to buy a car and send it over."
"No need for now, let's go take a look at other pharmacies first." Lin Yi smiled.
After filling the prescription, Fatty Lai rushed to pay first. It wasn't much, just a few hundred yuan.
Guan Xuemin didn't say anything, and he didn't try to remember what Lin Yi bought. He was an honest man, and unless Lin Yi showed him the prescription, he wouldn't take the initiative to ask for someone else's prescription.
Not long after the three left the pharmacy, the young man named Kun looked at Lin Yi and Fatty Lai's backs. He hesitated for a while, and then flashed into the pharmacy where Lin Yi bought his medicine.
It was a straight path, and there weren't any crossroads on either side. That was why Kun entered the pharmacy. Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked getting lost.
"Waiter, may I ask what the three people bought just now?" Kun asked the waiter in the pharmacy politely.
