Chapter 183: Clean Up and Wait for Me
The price of buying a level 3 HP Potion from the Alchemist Association was 90 bronze coins per bottle. The selling price was 1 silver coin per bottle, which meant that Lorne could earn 10 bronze coins from each bottle.
The profit ratio was 10%. In terms of total income, the final profit of the potion was 43.7 gold coins.
Then, according to the highest monetary value of the gold coins on the black market now, the total profit of the shop was about 131,000 alliance dollars in the past two hours.
This income was definitely terrifying. At the very least, to the current Lorne, such an hourly salary was a dream.
Because today was the first day of the opening, there were many curious players, so the turnover was naturally very high.
However, in two days, with the same amount of resources invested, the sales of the shops would decrease.
After all, there were no special products in the shop, so it could not ensure that players could visit for a long time.
There was also a problem that gave Lorne a headache. There were too few antidotes. 10,000 bottles a day was not enough to satisfy his needs.
Moreover, other shops were also selling this potion, so the price could not be raised.
Lorne had to consider buying them at a higher price so that he could earn greater profits through massive sales despite a small profit margin for each potion.
For this matter, he specially found Doge.
During this period of time, Doge had been busy editing the book. Due to the need to categorize the herbs, the workload was very high. Therefore, after working for several days, Doge still did not complete his work.
After hearing Lorne’s request, Doge thought about it and decided to give him a larger share of the potions.
After all, he was now also a member of the Alchemist Association and was also the manager of the shop. According to the rules of Iron Skull City, Doge could completely increase the target sales amount for him.
However, these potions could no longer be sold for 50 bronze coins.
The Alchemist Association’s output and income also needed to be reviewed by Iron Skull City, so he could not let the funds gap exceed the specified range.
Lorne naturally understood this.
This time, not only did he not ask for a lower purchase price, but he even offered a price that surprised even Doge.
Just like that, after a close discussion between the two, the quantity of the potions in ‘Dragon One’ increased from 10,000 to a shocking million!
This was a huge number.
After all, this was the daily supply!
Under normal circumstances, a shop could apply for between 10,000-50,000 potions per day, but Lorne directly made a deal with Doge.
As long as Lorne could sell 1 million potions in a day, the maximum number of potions distributed to Dragon One would be a million!
But if not, then everything would stop, and the contract would continue as normal.
Without hesitation, Lorne agreed.
Of course, in order to obtain such a huge quantity, he naturally lost a large amount of profits per potion.
In the beginning, the price of Lorne’s antidote was 50 bronze coins, the cost price in the Alchemist Association.
Now, because of the need to answer Iron Skull City’s call and because of the exception of increasing the order, the price of Lorne’s purchase was raised to 95 bronze coins!
This was close to the limit of retail sales.
Among all the shops in the main city, the price of the antidote was fixed at 1 silver coin, which was 100 bronze coins.
In total, Lorne could only make 5 bronze coins per bottle of potion.
In addition, other than the transportation cost, the manpower and monthly rent in the shop, and the money to compete with the shop for a lower price, the final profit that could be left to Lorne was only 2 bronze coins per potion.
However, with such a huge amount, even if it was only a profit of 1 bronze, the income could reach hundreds of thousands per day.
In fact, this was not Lorne’s main goal.
There was actually a deeper meaning behind his efforts.
First of all, the share of the million potions in his hands was actually snatched from the surrounding shops.
In other words, in the future, if there were players in the nearby areas, they could only go to Lorne’s shop to buy enough potions.
This way, the customer flow of the Lorne shop was greatly guaranteed.
To him, even if the antidote no longer made money, he could use the customer flow to increase the sales of other products to profit.
It was also because of this that Lorne had used the highest price to purchase a terrifying number of potions!
…
After dealing with these matters, Lorne contacted Twinkle Rose and Super Rich.
It was not enough to sell a million potions alone.
After all, the temptation of this mission was limited. A large number of players would not spend time heading to that area.
Therefore, Lorne still needed a channel to distribute them.
This profitable business was naturally left to the two of them.
The total amount of goods that Lorne gave them was 600,000 bottles a day, and the profit after selling was 10%. If he really counted, it was about 120,000 alliance dollars.
For 99.9% of people, 120,000 per day was a dreamlike amount.
But to a tycoon like Super Rich, 120,000 was probably just his breakfast money.
However, he was very concerned about the matters in the game, especially the ones that Lorne had arranged. Not to mention the 120,000 dollars, even if there was no income, he would still diligently complete this task.
After dealing with these matters, Lorne finally resolved everything regarding the shop.
Next, he only needed to provide some equipment. He did not have to worry about the rest.
It was getting late, so Lorne opened the system panel.
‘Go offline!’
He would rest today and help Aisha level up tomorrow.
That was a huge mission requiring tens of millions of experience points. It would probably take a long time to complete.
Returning to reality, Lorne did not think further.
He ordered a sumptuous dinner to reward himself.
Then, after washing up, Lorne lay down on the bed.
He opened the watch.
The next second, a message notification sounded.
It was a message from Jessica.
“Lorne, I’ve already helped you deal with everything in the high-level Energy Zone. In the villa I prepared for you, there’s the most perfect medical equipment in the world. You can bring your sister there to recuperate.”
“By the way, my sister and I came to the Energy Zone with Father today. We’re going to invite Aunt to go to the headquarters together. We’ll rest in the small villa next to yours tonight. Why don’t you come over later?”
Lorne’s eyes lit up when he saw the information.
Ever since the exciting battle with Jessica a few days ago, all the cells in his body had been awakened. Coupled with the fact that he had been busy identifying herbs the past few days, he was really tired. Since Jessica was here, he would indulge himself tonight.
With that in mind, Lorne smiled wickedly, “Wash up tonight and wait for me.”
