Although Zhao Hai said this, everyone's interest wasn't very high. In everyone's opinion, it would be good if the potions didn't lose money. After all, the potions didn't make any money in the beginning, so they knew that they were losing money.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and didn't say anything. Instead, he turned to Old Lady Wang and said, "Old Lady, please tell everyone."
Old Lady Wang nodded. She was now about to become the Four Righteous Gang's Minister of Finance. No one knew better than her how much the Four Righteous Gang had. Therefore, she was very happy about this.
Old Madam Wang took out a jade slip and said in a deep voice, "In the past two months, the number of affordable pharmacies in our Four Righteous Gang has increased from the initial forty-two pharmacies to the current one thousand three hundred and fifty-two pharmacies, and it's still increasing. In the past two months, we've collected a total of 175 million kilograms of various medicinal herbs. Now, we've used more than 15 million kilograms of various medicinal herbs to refine medicine, and we've saved about 160 million kilograms of various medicinal herbs in the storehouse." She paused for a moment and looked at everyone's reaction.
Everyone's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Because they weren't in charge of this matter, they didn't know how much income the potions had made in the past two months. They were really shocked, they didn't think that in the past two months, they would only be left with 160 million jin of medicinal ingredients.
160 million jin of herbs. Even if these herbs were very common and could reach the level of a few kilograms of Jade Essence, they still knew that these herbs were enough to bring tens of millions of Jade Essence to the Four Righteous Gang. If these herbs were made into potions, then the Four Righteous Gang's income would be even higher. Everyone unconsciously sat up straight. They now discovered that this potion business seemed to be very promising.
Old Lady Wang looked at everyone and said, "In addition to these herbs, we have also received a lot of Jade Essence. The total income from these Jade Essences is about 50 million, and it's still increasing. However, because we opened a lot of shops and recruited a lot of people, our expenses have also increased. Of the 50 million Jade Essence that we have received, there are only 30 million left in the storehouse. Of the other 20 million, 10 million has already been taken out. The other 10 million is used as liquidity. The 30 million in the storehouse is our net income from potions in the past two months."
Although they were mentally prepared, they were still shocked when they heard Old Madam Wang's words. They didn't expect that the Four Righteous Gang would have so much income in addition to medicinal herbs. This was too scary. Could it be that this potion was really so profitable? Old Madam Wang's eyes lit up.
Gu Xinsheng looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression. After a while, he said, "Leader, is this true? But how is this possible? Two months? How could we earn 100 million Jade Essence just by relying on potions? This is impossible, right? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to be too surprised. Selling potions is the most profitable industry. You underestimated the Rogue Cultivators' ability to sell potions. Therefore, I said that the business of potions is still very profitable. However, you should also remember that the Four Righteous Gang has made a lot of money through potions. Now, those big forces wouldn't look down on small shops like ours. Therefore, we can make a lot of money with ease. You should also remember that although we have made a lot of money from potions, we can't relax when it comes to brewing. We can't put all our eggs in one basket."
Everyone agreed in unison. At this time, they were completely convinced by Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai was able to make a terrifying amount of 100 million Jade Essence in just two months. This really made them convinced.
What they didn't know was that when Zhao Hai was on Earth, he had heard a saying. First, there are robbers, and second, there are those who sell potions. Robbers make money the fastest, but that was against the law. It couldn't be considered a business at all. Because of this, it can be seen how profitable it was to sell potions.
However, Zhao Hai also knew that nobody knew how much money the business of potions made. If the Great Sects were to know that the business of potions was so profitable, then the Four Righteous Gang would have a hard time. The Cultivation Realm wasn't like Earth. Back on Earth, you can make a lot of money by relying on patents. Even if others were to get their hands on it, it would still be illegal. But in the Cultivation Realm, strength was the law. If you have strength, then you have the law. If you don't have strength, then nobody would care if you die or not.
The reason why Zhao Hai wanted to do the wine business was to distract people. He wanted people to think that the business of potions didn't make a lot of money. Therefore, he wanted to do the wine business.
The proliferation of cheap potions stores would certainly attract the attention of the Great Sects. These Great Sects would be able to find out that the Four Righteous Gang was behind the cheap potions stores. If the Four Righteous Gang could develop by relying on cheap potions stores, then it would certainly attract the attention of the Great Sects. These Great Sects would then use the Four Righteous Gang's development to launch cheap potions stores to make a lot of money.
If this was the case, then these Great Sects would certainly come to snatch the business. And the Four Righteous Gang wouldn't be able to stop these Great Sects.
Don't think that the Ye Family would help Zhao Hai just because he cooperated with them. He wasn't that naive. He was very clear that if the Ye Family knew how much money the Four Righteous Gang was making, then the Ye Family wouldn't even need to do anything. The Ye Family would make a lot of money by selling robots. But for the Ye Family, the source of the robots had always been in Zhao Hai's hands. This meant that all the supply channels were in Zhao Hai's hands. This was something that a Great Sect like the Ye Family couldn't accept.
But now, for the sake of benefits, they had to accept it even if they didn't want to. Therefore, they wanted to cooperate with Zhao Hai and treat Zhao Hai well. This was because the robots could bring a lot of benefits to the Ye Family.
But if they knew that there was a business that could bring them even more benefits, then they wouldn't hesitate to give up on the robot business. At the same time, they wouldn't hesitate to give up on Zhao Hai and snatch this business from Zhao Hai's hands.
Therefore, Zhao Hai must do this business. He also wanted to cooperate with the Ye Family. He wanted the Ye Family to think that the Four Righteous Gang wouldn't make a lot of money from the potion business. He wanted the Ye Family to think that the Four Righteous Gang could be controlled by the Four Righteous Gang at any time. If they cut off their cooperation with the Four Righteous Gang, then the Four Righteous Gang would fall apart because of the lack of funds. This way, the Ye Family would feel relieved to cooperate with Zhao Hai. They would even let the Four Righteous Gang grow stronger. They would even control the Four Righteous Gang's funds and make them a force in their hands.
Although Yeh Lin had a good relationship with Zhao Hai, and Yeh Lin also seemed to be a good person, Yeh Lin didn't represent the Ye Family. Even if Yeh Lin was the eldest grandson of the Ye Family, he still couldn't represent the Ye Family. After all, the Ye Family still had the Patriarch and Yeh Lin's father. The ones who had the final say were still them.
Moreover, even Yeh Lin wouldn't stand on Zhao Hai's side when it came to the development of the Ye Family. Zhao Hai was only his friend, but the Ye Family was his family, his roots.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "The income from the potion business is very high, but the higher the income, the more dangerous it is for the Four Righteous Gang. Our Four Righteous Gang is currently too weak. If people knew about the income from the potion business, then it would be the same as letting them see a Jade Concentrate mine. It would be strange if they didn't think of ways to rob it. Therefore, the income from the potion business is only known to a few people in this room. If anyone dares to speak about it, then they would be treated as traitors.
Do you understand? "Everyone's heart turned cold, then Zhao Hai said," Two months have passed, our Four Righteous Gang's first batch of wine is ready to come out of the kiln. I called you here today to tell you about the income from the potion business as well as to let you taste the wine that the Four Righteous Gang brewed. Laura, bring the wine, let's have a good drink. "
Laura nodded, then she waved her hand. Lizzy and the others immediately brought the wine over. What was different was that there were four jugs of wine on the table. These four jugs were different in appearance. The biggest jug had about 20 jins of wine inside. This jug was completely black except for the center of the jug, there was a white knight. Below the knight were the words, Death Knight.
Laura looked at the people who were sitting down and said, "This wine is called Death Knight. It's made from a special kind of poisonous grass from the Bitter Crust Star as well as some other herbs. After drinking it, one's body would feel as if it's on fire. The wine's strength is very strong, making people feel as if they're drinking poison. This wine was named after Brother Hai's nickname."
Everyone nodded, then they curiously looked at the jug of wine. Laura then pointed at the second jug. This jug was a bit smaller than the first, it could hold about 10 jins of wine. However, the appearance of this jug was very special. This jug was completely white except for the center of the jug, there was a black 'King' character. Below this character were two eyes. The eyes looked like the eyes of a tiger, they looked very scary. Below these eyes were the words' White Forehead Tiger '.
Laura opened her mouth and said, "This White Tiger Wine is named after Tiger's Might. This wine is also a strong liquor, but it doesn't have the burning sensation. After drinking it, one's body would feel hot and full of strength. This wine can also replenish one's vitality." Laura nodded and said, "That's right.
Then Laura pointed to the third jug of wine. This jug was cyan in color and had a picture of a wolf howling towards the sky. Above the wolf's head was a picture of a full moon. Below the picture were three words: Howling Moon Wolf. Laura smiled and said, "I won't say much about the name of this wine. When you first drink it, you won't be able to get full. Even if you drink it, you'll still feel a chill in your stomach. However, this wine is very strong. If you don't handle it well, then even Cultivators would get drunk."
Then there was the last jug of wine. This jug could only hold about 1 jin of wine. This jug was the most beautiful of the three, it looked like a beautiful work of art. There was only one word written on the jug, 'Fantasy'!
Laura looked at the jug of wine and smiled faintly, "This jug of wine is the most special. Its name is based on its nickname. The most special thing about this wine is that when you drink it alone, it would be sweet and very delicious. Unknowingly, you would be able to drink a few more cups of it. Another wonderful use of this wine is that it can be mixed with other wines. You can add any other kind of wine to it, and the taste of each wine would be different. Most importantly, you can add ice, water, and other things to it. The taste of the wine would change, and it would become very delicious. Therefore, this wine is called 'Fantasy'."
Speaking up to here, Laura paused for a moment, then she looked at everyone and said, "These four wines are the four main wines of our Righteous Four Gang. Today, everyone should taste them and see if there are any shortcomings in these wines. We need to correct them as soon as possible. If there aren't any shortcomings, then we can start negotiations with the Ye Family."
Everyone nodded, their faces were filled with smiles. This was especially true for White Tiger's Might and the other two. Their smiles were very bright. They didn't think that the wines produced by the gang would be ordered with their nickname. This really gave them a lot of face.
Zhao Hai looked at the three, then he smiled faintly and said, "Alright, everyone, don't be polite. I think we should start with the Death Knight. To be honest, I haven't drunk this wine before. I really want to see how it feels like to drink poison and how it feels to die. I want to see if it's worthy of my nickname." When everyone heard Zhao Hai's words, they couldn't help but laugh.
The wine jugs were turned around in everyone's hands, then everyone poured a glass of wine for themselves. But when they looked at the wine in their hands, their faces couldn't help but show a trace of suspicion. This was because the wine's color was very strange. The wine was actually red, just like blood. However, there wasn't any smell of blood in it.
Zhao Hai didn't care too much about this. He looked at the wine in his glass, then he raised his glass and said, "Alright, let's not talk too much about it. Come, let's have a drink." Everyone raised their glasses. Zhao Hai loudly said, "Cheers!" Then he drank the wine in his glass.
As soon as the wine entered their stomachs, everyone felt as if their stomachs were on fire. This fire instantly spread throughout their bodies. It felt as if every cell in their body was burning. This feeling was like being poisoned by fire. They felt as if they were about to be burned to death by the poisonous fire.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Then, an incomparably comfortable feeling came out of their pores. It was as if they were soaking in a hot spring. All the pores on their bodies were opened and they were breathing. This comfortable feeling made them sigh.
Along with this sigh, everyone came back to their senses. Then, they looked at the jug of Death Knight Wine and their expressions changed. This wine was the best wine they had ever tasted. There was no other wine that could compare to it. This wine was too delicious.
