This was also the model adopted by many large pill companies nowadays. Generally, external alchemists were responsible for refining some very popular pills.
Alchemists could also get orders, and they could also hone their skills, thereby improving the level of pill refining in the entire human society.
And those big pill companies did not have the ability to support so many alchemists, because formal contract alchemists needed to be given a series of treatment and conditions.
When the number was large, the investment itself was also very large.
This was a win-win situation for both alchemists and pill companies. For alchemists, there would not be much profit, because the success rate was not very high, and they might even suffer losses.
But having orders was better than not having any orders, and it was much better than completely losing money.
For pill companies, the profit earned from each pill was also limited, and most of it had to be paid to alchemists, as well as the purchase of various materials, etc., but the advantage was that the number was large.
This was also the most popular model nowadays. As long as it did not touch on the core pill formula, the rest could be outsourced to other alchemists to refine, and they only needed to be responsible for the final inspection of the quality.
Some basic pills could be refined by alchemists, and the effect was almost the same no matter who refined it. For ordinary people, there would not be that much desire.
But even so, for the huge market, it was far from enough!
Therefore, under such circumstances, some bad rumors began to appear in the market. Some media began to spread rumors, asking Mountain River Pill Company to give up the patent of the pill formula to the whole society, so that it could benefit the entire human society.
Of course, everyone knew that this was not feasible at all, and the current federal government did not encourage such behavior. It seemed to be good for the federation, and for the entire human society, but in fact, it was drinking poison to quench thirst.
This principle was understood by the federal government a long time ago. If they forced Mountain River Pill Company to hand over the patent, it would be a deep harm to the entire federal society.
Next time, no one would publish the pill formula and register the patent.
But there was still a group of people who advocated for Mountain River Pill Company to hand over the patent. Of course, Lu Qingxuan would not be lenient, and attacked those so-called experts and professors who appeared one by one. Whoever advocated for it, she would expose them.
In this society, as long as one had money, many things could not be hidden. Which one of these experts and professors was clean? For many years, they had been receiving money from others to promote certain things.
Many experts and professors even came to Lu Qingxuan proudly. They asked Lu Qingxuan to pay them so that they could put in a good word for Mountain River Corporation.
However, for these people, Lu Qingxuan basically hit them one by one. These experts and professors usually did a lot of extortion and blackmail. They never thought that they would encounter such an unreasonable person like Lu Qingxuan who didn't follow the rules.
After a few confrontations, Lu Qingxuan's company was fine, but a few of these experts and professors were sent to prison.
At this moment, they truly understood that they were nothing more than flies to those large corporations and companies, even though they seemed to be very dangerous.
If those big groups and companies were unwilling to deal with them, they would just give them some money. But if they really wanted to deal with them, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. Their attacks and accusations of tax evasion were meaningless to Mountain River Corporation.
Not to mention that Mountain River Corporation did not evade taxes, even if they did, they would be very weak in the face of the power of capital.
Most importantly, the Jinghai municipal government had stepped forward to protect the Mountain River Company. The Jinghai municipal government's thinking was very simple. The Mountain River Company was about to grow into a giant in the city, and it could provide the city with countless profits and taxes.
At the same time, it would increase the city's competitiveness. However, if the pill formula was contributed, it would seem to benefit all mankind. What was the use? The benefits would all belong to other cities. What good would it do to them?
Moreover, if Mountain River Corporation controlled the pill formula, why couldn't it benefit all mankind?
This in itself was a fallacy!
Therefore, Jinghai's municipal government came forward very quickly. In today's society, which was dominated by the federal government, once the government came forward, these people were just clowns that would soon disappear.
However, Lu Qingxuan quickly realized that these experts and professors were just clowns. Behind them, those big pill companies were adding fuel to the fire.
After all, facing the Qi Recovery Pill market that had been poached by Mountain River Corporation, the amount of losses every year was all earned by Mountain River Corporation. That huge profit made even the big pill companies very tempted and jealous.
Therefore, these things happened!
Therefore, Lu Qingxuan made a prompt decision. Anyway, with the current production capacity of Mountain River Corporation, even if she signed a contract with a few hundred alchemists, it would not be able to meet the sea of demand.
Therefore, she simply signed a supply and sales contract with those pill companies. Anyway, the pill formula was ready-made. She didn't believe that those pill companies did not secretly refine it. Since they had to refine it anyway, it was better to sell all of it to her company and let Mountain River Corporation sell it.
In this case, it was equivalent to the Mountain River Corporation giving them a portion of the profits, and the Mountain River Corporation did not suffer any losses, because in any case, it was a portion that they could not supply in the first place, and after cooperating with other Alchemy companies, they would earn more.
At first, when those big pill companies heard Lu Qingxuan's idea, they immediately flew into a rage. What kind of company were they? Mountain River Corporation was just a newcomer. How dare they make such a request to them? Weren't they courting death?
However, Lu Qingxuan did not give in to the behavior of those big pill companies. If they didn't do it, there would be some small and medium-sized pill companies that would fight to do it.
Seeing that the market was so huge, even if it was just being an OEM for Mountain River Corporation, they would be able to quickly make a windfall. Moreover, if they formed a long-term cooperation, this sum of money would also become a long-term source of income for them.
After seeing those small and medium-sized pill companies change sides, those big pill companies had no choice but to give in. No one could say no to money. In any case, there was no way they could compete with Mountain River Corporation in this market. If they were willing to be an OEM, it would also be a considerable amount of income.
In just a short month, it could be said that the situation had changed.
