072 The road never imagined(1/2)
Dozens of hunters flocked to the door of Bill's Pharmacy. Only a dozen hunters went in, while the others waited peacefully outside.
Zhou Jing was pretending to read a one-line account book. When he saw Jason leading a group of hunters, he immediately made an unexpected expression and sounded surprised:
"You're here again, why are you bringing so many people with you? Was there something wrong with yesterday's potion?"
"No, your potion is very effective, even better than the mass-produced products produced by the Imperial Workshop." Jason read the words in a pronunciation tone.
"Really?" Zhou Jing looked surprised.
"That's right, this is the best pain-relieving potion I have ever drunk. I want to buy some more when I come here this time." Cole agreed from the side, and then looked at Zhou Jing with slight surprise.
He still remembered this guy who came to ask Jason to borrow money, and he couldn't help but be a little impressed: "I didn't expect you to have such skills."
"Of course, if I didn't know pharmacy, how could I have treated Jason at that time." Zhou Jing responded fluently.
Jason nodded: "Well, at that time I found out that he was a pretty good pharmacist, so I suggested that he come to the royal capital."
Singing and harmonizing, things were settled.
"So that's it." Cole suddenly realized and believed it was true.
Other hunters in the store looked around, curiously looking at the potions on the shelves.
Yesterday, Jason just bought a bottle of hunter's potion and gave it to only a few hunters. Not all of them drank it. Most of the people who came today were doubtful about Zhou Jing's level.
However, yesterday at the station, Jason and several hunters who had drank it were full of praise and highly praised the potions here, and made an appointment to buy them the next day.
Because Jason brought the goods in a high-profile manner, many hunters reluctantly believed it and decided to give it a try and come over to take a look... Anyway, they were energetic and usually had nothing to do, so they just happened to come for a walk and take a look at the Royal City Guard.
Dozens of hunters gathered in groups, and the king did not dare to turn a blind eye. At this time, there were more than a dozen royal city guards following closely outside the door.
In Tarn City, the royal capital, the relationship between the imperial hunters and the royal city guards, royal guards and others is not too rigid. It is not like the fierce conflict between the hunters and the lord guards in White Plains City. This is determined by the nature of the imperial hunters, but they also like to have fun occasionally.
other side.
Zhou Jing introduced the effects of the potion to everyone and brushed his face.
Hunters are always willing to give money. Since they came here, they planned to spend money. They bought pain relief potion one after another, and some people bought more than one bottle.
Some hunters even bought a few bottles of energy potions from Mimi.
Naturally, a group of rough men were not interested in shopping. They had to have a goal when they went out. After buying the potions, many hunters did not stay and scattered one after another.
Some people go to find women or men, some people go to pubs to drink, some people go to gambling stalls to do charity, and everyone goes to have fun.
The guardians of the royal city who came to monitor the situation euphemistically called it split tracking, but in fact they took advantage of the situation. Some people walked out a few streets and showed up to hang out with the hunters they knew.
The shelves of the apothecary store were swept through. The inventory of hunter potions was missing a lot, but there were dozens more records in the ledger.
"With this wave of income, I made two hundred and seven silver coins...Hunter's potion is really a highly profitable business."
Zhou Jing shook his jingling money bag with great interest.
General-purpose potions are for the general public, and the price will not be too high, but hunters have extremely strong spending power. Ordinary hunter potions are sold for about three silver coins, and powerful potions are generally three times the price of normal potions, which is much higher than the cost price.
If it weren't for Jason, a "big guy" who was a middle-level cadre among the Empire Hunters, it would have been too much trouble to open up the market.
He deliberately asked Jason to come over to buy a potion and distribute it to others. This was to use Jason's connections and word-of-mouth effect to bring the first batch of hunter customers.
When these hunters discover that the potion is very effective, they will bring in customers, making their business boom, and their reputation will be completely spread among the hunter community... Behind this, Jason needs to continue to add fuel to the fire.
In this wave, Jason was asked to bring the goods, and Zhou Jing learned the knowledge of pharmacies and prepared the pharmacy store, and nearly half of the initial investment was recovered, which was really a huge profit.
Zhou Jing was calculating the accounts with great interest. When the residents of the royal capital who were watching outside saw the hunter leaving, they walked into the shop out of curiosity. As soon as they entered, they couldn't wait to ask about the situation.
"Boss, are all those hunters coming to you to buy potions?"
"It's not like he's drunk and is causing trouble for you, right?"
Hearing this, Zhou Jing made a proud expression and said loudly:
"Those distinguished hunters thought that the potions I made were excellent and bought dozens of bottles of potions from me. Did you see them happily holding the potions when they went out? Even the hunters agreed to use them. Do you want some?
?”
Everyone looked at each other, a little moved.
This is a potion that the hunter has personally certified. Even the hunter went to the city to buy it. It must be a good thing. It seems that he can rest assured...
With this in mind, many nearby residents who were watching decided to believe in Zhou Jing's ability and bought a bottle of potion to try.
Dozens of hunters entered the city together, attracting attention on the way. Many people from other urban areas followed curiously. Seeing that the hunters were here to purchase potions, they also entered Bill's Pharmacy with interest and bought some potions.
Most people are not sick at the moment, so the main products sold are energy potions.
The price of general potion is not high, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still a good profit, so Zhou Jing will not refuse anyone who comes.
Due to the driving effect of the hunter, the pharmacy suddenly became lively, breaking the lack of business in the previous few days.
In the next few days, the rumors became more and more mysterious.
In the beginning, it was just a novelty of "dozens of hunters buying medicine together", but later it gradually became "officially certified by Empire Hunters as the product of Bill's Pharmacy as excellent".
A lot of things happen in the royal capital every day, but this rumor has become a hot topic recently. It is not just the residents' mentality to watch the excitement, but also Zhou Jing's secret spending money to find children on the street.
The reason for shouting about the heat everywhere.
Zhou Jing is well aware of the effect of advertising, and even compiled a simple but memorable advertising slogan and taught it to his children to promote his "brand".
"Bill's Pharmacy, the hunter has agreed to use it!"
This somewhat magical sentence became known to more people, and it was so catchy that they inexplicably remembered the name "Bill's Pharmacy".
As the news spread more and more, a large number of residents of the royal capital came to hear the news. The pharmacy changed from a deserted place to a deserted one, and there was an endless stream of customers.
The repeat customer effect has also exploded, with customers who have bought medicines before coming back again.
These repeat customers basically come for the energy potion, and this potion is the most popular one.
There’s no difference, it’s just about eating the marrow and knowing the taste!
After all, food and sex are the same. In this world lacking in entertainment, the exchange of human body fluids is the greatest source of happiness.
And the potion that can amplify this kind of sensory stimulation is the existence of nuclear bomb level.
Although the reputation is somewhat different from Zhou Jing's expectation, the reputation of the pharmacy has indeed been established among the people at an unprecedented speed.
However, in more than half a month, a consensus was formed in the hearts of the residents of the royal capital:
This is the number one aphrodisiac in the capital!
With an invincible momentum, it swept across the aphrodisiac industry in the entire royal capital!
Zhou Jing also didn't expect that Apostle No. 3's seemingly most troublesome goal in life [to establish a city-level monopoly industry] would be the first to come close to success.
This time it was truly an unimagined path.
The business is booming, with a large number of customers coming to ask for medicine every day, and the threshold is almost crossed.
Not only the common people bought it, but also many tribal blood relatives and palace ministers heard about the famous name, and secretly sent people to purchase the energy potion, and specifically asked them to try not to tell anyone.
Because there are so many customers every day, there is a team of guards patrolling the area to maintain law and order.
Zhou Jing had a good eye and gave the guards several energy potions for free. The guards were deeply moved and not only helped maintain order, but even helped him solicit customers, and even more guards became loyal customers of the pharmacy.
There is a huge demand every day, and Zhou Jing can only make it by himself. The energy potion is out of stock every day.
In the high-intensity potion making, the knowledge of potion increased rapidly, and soon reached the level of L5 instinct.
At this stage, he is already considered an elite pharmacist. Coupled with the [Pharmacist] talent and [Item Analysis Function], his level of potion making is comparable to that of a master.
Apostle No. 3 Bill also became famous in the capital in a subtle way...
Known as the aphrodisiac master!
Zhou Jing doesn't mind at all, Lu Ziye doesn't matter, a crooked name is also a name.
However, he also heard some bad rumors. It seemed that some colleagues despised people like him who made "aphrodisiacs" and expressed their disdain on many occasions.
It might be difficult to get into the Imperial Workshop with such a reputation.
But Zhou Jing didn't care. What he really bet on was the hunter's potion. The hunter group was the real authoritative reputation. He just waited for someone to see through the surface and see his improved formula and amazing pharmaceutical level.
The pharmacy was making a lot of money every day, and Zhou Jing made a lot of money, but it also brought trouble. Many businessmen in the royal capital were jealous of this hugely profitable potion and came to seek cooperation. Some people wanted to buy the formula.
Zhou Jing rejected them all because he didn't really want to make money.
Although he has become famous, his reputation as a "master of aphrodisiacs" is not enough to be a talisman.
Money and silk attract people's hearts, and as a "foreigner", he is naturally targeted.
…
At night, in a dark alley somewhere, five masked men leaned in the shadows and talked quietly.
"I have already found out that Bill, who makes aphrodisiacs, walks this way home every day. When he comes, we will tie him up and ask for the formula of that potion." The leader played with a dagger.
The tone is gloomy.
Some people are worried: "What if the formula of Bill's energy potion has not changed, but it is simply made well?"
"Impossible, I asked the pharmacist, he must have changed the formula." The leader replied decisively, thought for a while, and said coldly: "But it's not important. Let's take him away and let him go to a city farther away.
Make potions for us and make a fortune!"
