Chapter 65 Negotiation
Hua Yanyue, 16th.
Phil's Potions Store.
In the store, which can accommodate a dozen people without feeling crowded, people are coming and going.
Obviously, the potion market has been extremely prosperous during this period and has entered the "peak sales season".
All this is due to the changes outside the city.
Most people regard the changes outside the city as opportunities, and there are even many outsiders who come here specifically to "dig for gold".
After all, in ordinary times, if you want to hunt earth-line creatures, you have to go deep into the dangerous virgin forest.
On the edge of the forest close to the human city, there are few earth-line creatures.
But nowadays, in the forest outside Hogan City, earth-line creatures are common.
This kind of hunting activity, which has an escape route and is much safer, is almost like picking up money for many mages who rely on hunting earth-line creatures as their main source of income.
The increase in hunting activities has also led to the unusual prosperity of Hogan City’s potion market.
There are three or four clerks in the store, busy greeting customers.
Gaode waited aside for a short while, and when one of the clerks was free, he immediately took advantage of every opportunity to get close to him.
"I want to see Mr. Oliver, please inform me." Gothe said.
The clerk was slightly startled when he heard this. When he saw that it was Gao De, he immediately reacted and the smile on his face became attentive.
"Wait a moment."
He immediately climbed up the stairs to the second floor. After a while, he hurriedly walked down again.
"Mr. Oliver is waiting for you above. Come with me." He greeted Goude warmly and led Gothe up to the second floor.
The upstairs is not so spacious compared to the downstairs, with only a few rooms.
The clerk led Gothe to the innermost door, "This is the VIP room where Mr. Oliver receives distinguished guests. I brought you here. You can go in by yourself."
After saying this, the clerk I retreated consciously.
Gaode knocked on the door with a normal expression.
"Come in." Oliver's steady voice came out.
Gothe opened the door and saw Oliver sitting behind the large nanmu table decorated in the luxurious VIP room.
He lowered his head and wrote something on the paper with a quill.
After entering the door, Gothe didn't say anything and waited patiently for Oliver to finish what he was doing.
Is there really something so urgent that you can’t even stop entertaining guests?
Obviously not.
Just to create psychological pressure on him.
If he loses his temper and speaks first, he will subconsciously feel guilty for interrupting other people's work, which will make the subsequent conversation weaker before it even begins.
Gaode looked at this VIP room with interest.
It can be seen that the decorative materials in the room are extremely expensive, and even the green plants used as decorations are extremely precious Anomatis.
But what shocked Gaode the most was the diamond-shaped piece of huge magic crystal placed on the large nanmu table, which was estimated to contain more than five kilograms of magic crystal.
Magic crystal is one of the most precious mineral resources in the world.
Magic crystals contain amazing energy, and almost all magic facilities are inseparable from the energy supply of magic crystals.
And such a regular and huge natural magic crystal, which is likely to cost hundreds of gold coins, is placed on the table like this as a decoration.
In other words, a decoration worth one hundred thousand yuan was placed in front of Gaode's eyes.
What a luxury.
It’s really stingy.
Magic crystals worth hundreds of gold coins were placed on the table as decoration to show their identity.
But they only offered a low price of two hundred gold coins to Seda Medicine Garden, which had been in business for more than ten years.
Knowing that Gothe had entered the door, Oliver, who lowered his head to write, still waited for two or three minutes before he put down the pen in his hand and raised his head to look at Gothe.
"Why did you come to me today? Have you figured it out?"
Gothe nodded, "I have thought about it carefully. It is indeed a rare opportunity to join Phil's Potion Store. If you miss it, it will be difficult to do it again. I think even if Master Seda comes back and knows about this decision, he will not have any objections.”
"So, I agree with your proposal and am willing to sell the Seda Medicine Garden to you." "Wise decision." Oliver praised, seeming to be very satisfied with Gothe's sensibleness.
"But." Here, Gothe continued.
"But what?" Oliver frowned and looked at Gothe with a hair-raising gaze, which gave people a sense of oppression.
“You have to pay more!” Gothe gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
"Two hundred gold coins is really too low. Master Seda paid more than this when he bought the medicine garden. After he comes back, if he knows that I sold the medicine garden at this price, he will definitely punish me."
"Really?" Oliver narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gothe, and smiled, revealing a sense of seeing through but not telling.
"If you really said that, it seems to be a bit low. If you are blamed by Master Seda because of this, I will feel sorry for you."
While speaking, , Oliver stood up from behind the nanmu table, grabbed the paper he had just written on, and handed it to Gothe.
“Sign this contract,” the wrinkles on his face were as dry as tree bark, “I will give you another hundred gold coins.”
Gothe's heart moved, and he took the contract calmly, his eyes sweeping over the contract.
The content is very simple.
That is to ask Gaode to join Phil's Potion Store and prepare potions for Phil's Potion Store.
Phil’s Potion Store will provide resources to cultivate him to a certain extent.
In addition, in the contract, he offered Gaode a basic salary of 10 gold coins per month, and half of the profit after the sale of each set of potions he prepared as a commission.
Calculated by preparing a set of primary spider poison potions every day and selling them all, Gaode can almost get 12.5 gold in one month.
Although it is not as good as the monthly income of the medicinal garden, the advantage is that the harvest is guaranteed during droughts and floods, and there is no need to worry about sales and no need to handle the medicinal materials by yourself.
Of course, this is based on the current level of potion science in Gaode.
As his potion level increases, the gap between this "salary" and the income he can generate from running his own medicine garden will become wider and wider.
If Phil's Potion Store can adjust the treatment in time according to the level of high-tech potion, it will be a more reasonable treaty.
The problem is, obviously not.
Because, the number of years on the contract clearly says "20 years"!
If within 20 years, Gaode no longer wants to make medicines for Phil's Potion Store, the contract can be terminated in advance.
However, every time the contract is terminated one year in advance, a default fee of 100 Sean gold coins per year must be paid to Phil's Potion Store.
If you terminate the contract ten years in advance, that is 1,000 Sean gold coins.
Gothe frowned and directly expressed his dissatisfaction, "Is this contract term too long? And the termination fee is too high."
"Haha." Oliver smiled but didn't smile. , "Twenty years is too long. In twenty years, you will be in your thirties and in your prime. Why worry about twenty years being too long."
"Besides, this contract will not If your pharmaceutical level improves quickly, I will increase your salary appropriately and re-sign the contract with you."
The merchant's guarantee, without signing a paper contract, Don't take a word of it seriously.
Gaode did indeed do this. He sneered in his heart and didn't believe it at all.
Here, Oliver continued to talk: "As for the termination fee, once you become our potion master, our store will spend a lot of energy and cost to train you."
"If the termination fee is not paid, Raise it a little higher. When your level improves and your wings become stronger, you can easily pay the termination fee and go to work in other potion stores. Then won't we become the ones who are taken advantage of and make wedding dresses for others? "
"Moreover? Not to mention the termination fee, after signing this contract, 300 gold will be credited to the account." Oliver said meaningfully, nodding at Goude.
Hearing this, Gao De fell into silence for a long time, with a tangled expression on his face, as if he was thinking.
When Oliver saw this scene, a trace of complacency flashed in his eyes.
He is also an old businessman and has bargained countless times.
I don’t understand that once the other party shows this expression, it basically means that the matter is settled.
As expected, after a moment, Gothe suddenly raised his head, "Then the other apprentices in the medicine garden, how come they only have my contract and theirs?"
"We Phil The potion shop will not sign a contract with everyone. Only those with ability like you will draw up a contract specifically." Oliver said calmly.
“Don’t worry, since I paid a high price to acquire Seda Medicine Garden, I will naturally continue to hire people from the medicine garden.”
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. After hearing Oliver's guarantee, Gothe seemed to have made up his mind, "Okay."
"However, I can't get the land deed and house deed for the time being."
