Chapter 356 Transaction Three
“What else can Baron Opal do?”
Gilan stopped and turned around to ask.
"Mr. Blood Owl, if you are not satisfied with my offer, you can just tell me."
The fat man smiled again.
"Business should be discussed slowly."
"I am indeed a little dissatisfied." Gilan nodded.
"In this way..." Baron Opal thought for a while. "We can discuss the sales method of 'wick potion'. I always maintain a higher selling price than you, so it won't have much impact on you."
"This clause also How about writing it into the contract to ensure its implementation?”
“Even without this clause, there will actually be no conflict between us.”
Ji Lan shook his head.
Baron Opal smiled, because what the blood owl said was indeed true. He seemed to give in, but in fact he didn't lose anything. It's just that such a small trap was seen through by the other party.
"So Mr. Blood Owl, what do you think?"
As the boss behind two small trade fairs, he has a sharp eye and sees that Blood Owl does not want to sell the formula, but only his own The asking price is not enough.
“I want 30% of the sales dividend of ‘Wick Potion’.”
Gillan said calmly.
Hearing this, Baron Opal was not angry. He just smiled and shook his head and said with a smile:
"Mr. Blood Owl, you are really good at joking."
" After excluding the cost of materials, refining costs, sales costs, and even immeasurable risks, the profit from the potion is only 10% at most. You don't have to do anything and just take one-third of the money. It is really too greedy. ”
“Baron Opal is indeed a veteran in the business world, and his ability to make random nonsense is really great.”
Ji Lan was not fooled at all and laughed.
“How can you estimate the price of materials and refining costs if you don’t even know the formula?”
As he spoke, he looked at the fat man with calm eyes and said again:< br>
"Of course, I guess you are probably trying to get the approximate cost of the materials out of me... But it doesn't matter. I can also tell you directly that the cost of a batch of 25 potions is about 80 to 90 Caesars. If it is refined in large quantities, the cost can be reduced further."
"As for the 130 Caesar price I paid for 'Ye Mei', it is purely to take care of internal members and avoid offending..."< br>
"If placed on the black market in the mysterious field, the 'wick potion' is, after all, a highly effective alchemical potion that assists in spiritual practice. It is definitely a priceless commodity. The price is at least 180 Caesars and upwards. This is just a conservative estimate."< br>
“The nearly doubled profit, even if refining losses, sales costs and even risks are excluded, there is still a considerable profit.”
Gilan chuckled lightly and said lightly:< br>
“I only want 30% dividends, which is not excessive.”
“I really didn’t expect that…”
Baron Opal looked surprised, smiled and clapped again.
"Mr. Blood Owl not only has superb practical ability, but also has such a thorough analysis of the business world."
"However, you still want too much."
"Not much." Gillan shrugged. "Baron Opal, why don't you look at it from another angle? I'll invest in this business with the 'Wick Potion' formula, and you, as a friend, will give me the 'Lava Balm' formula."
"Blood Owl Sir, friendship is friendship and business is business, they cannot be confused..."
Baron Opal said with a smile.
But he suddenly changed the topic and said:
"How about 5% dividend?"
"20%." Gillan kept smiling.
“10%, this is the final bottom line. If it is any more, this transaction will be regretted.”
Baron Opal shrugged, looking helpless.
Gilan was silent for a few seconds and stretched out his hand.
Seeing this, the fat man smiled even more. He stretched out his hands in tacit understanding and held each other's palms.
“Deal.” He smiled.
“Deal.”
The 30% dividend condition was originally Gillan's sky-high asking price.
A literary man in a previous life once said that if you ask to open a window in the wall, others will object, but if you ask to open the roof, others will agree to open the window.
Jilan thinks so.
His psychological expectation was actually only 5%, but it was an unexpected surprise that he was able to close the deal with a 10% dividend.
This means that Jilan no longer has to waste time and energy and can get a lot of income every month. This is much more efficient than working hard to refine the medicine himself and then selling it to the esoteric cult.
As a veteran of the black market, Baron Opal will definitely try his best to promote the "wick potion" and make it a big seller.
Jilan just has to sit back and wait to receive the money.
There is no need to worry about Baron Opal's default, after all, the two parties have to sign the contract under the witness of the "Twin Kite". Unless Baron Opal is out of his mind, he will bear the punishment of God for the benefit of a little dividend.
Baron Opal wrote a complex contract in mid-air with his thick fingers, and signed his name, Negan Morrow.
Gilan followed closely and signed his name.
When the contract takes effect, the light flashes.
The delicate smile from the far side sounded again:
“Ah haha...I saw it!”
Gilan and Baron Opal saluted into the void at the same time to express their gratitude. Respect for "Twin Kite".
Soon, the two exchanged a piece of parchment. "Happy transaction, Mr. Blood Owl."
The fat man smiled.
“After the first batch of ‘Wick Magic Potion’ is refined, I will use the black market trade fair to bring it into the sight of idle mystics, and then arrange for a small-scale flow of manpower into the market.”
“These may take some time to ferment, so the first batch of dividend payments will have to wait two to three months. Please rest assured that I am most concerned about integrity in business and will not delay deliberately.”
"No problem." Gilan nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he took out his "Knight's Chess", imitated Baron Opal's previous moves, and inspired it with his own spirituality.
Buzz——
A golden light flashed.
Jilan found that he was back at the big round table where everyone was.
Looking back, the fat man appeared behind him, smiling and nodding.
…
…
After that, the "Ye Mei" party, which Jilan participated in for the first time, lasted for nearly half an hour. The members chatted for a while before breaking up and leaving.
Before parting, Baron Opal, Lady Crow, Old Staff Maker and Miss Sparks each gave Gilan a card with alchemy arrays of different patterns engraved on it.
According to them, this is an exclusive "hotline" symbol, just like a landline number. By placing the card against the "hotline", one-to-one long-distance communication can be carried out.
Gilan put away the four cards and politely said goodbye to everyone. Then he and his teacher Parra returned to reality and appeared on the sofa in the living room on the first floor of the apartment.
Just sitting back on the sofa, Gilan still felt as if she was in another world. She couldn't help but secretly sigh, "Midnight Rose" is worthy of the ancient esoteric religion, and even its stronghold is hidden from reality.
He turned to look at the clock on the wall and found that it was already half past eight in the evening, nearly two hours had passed since the teacher came to visit.
"How do you feel about this party?"
The white-haired old gentleman asked with a smile.
Jilan said respectfully:
"It's good. I have never seen so many long-lived people gathered together, and they are all outstanding alchemists. I have gained a lot of knowledge."
"Yes. ..." Parra nodded. "The people and circles you come into contact with in the future will move to a higher level, and there will be more things you have never been exposed to."
"Being sharp and thinking at all times can help you deal with any situation. . ”
“Thank you for your teachings, I will keep them in mind.”
Jilan said solemnly.
At this time, he suddenly thought of a question that had been buried in his heart for a long time. Taking this opportunity, he asked Parra:
"Teacher... didn't you say that ascended people cannot Interference in the world, but why did the "Windmill Cat" Pal Solomon appear on the top of the volcano last time in the Blood Harbor group? "
"That is not his true body, it is still the other person. "
Pala shook her head.
Ji Lan was startled.
"The other person...but shouldn't the other person of the 'Windmill Cat' be Krampus, the 'Christmas Devil'?"
"This is also a special feature of the 'Windmill Cat' . He was one of the four angels under the seat of Omer in the original "Noonday Dawn", the Angel of Pentacles "Pole Star", symbolizing human creativity. "
Para explained with a calm face. .
“Therefore, after He fell into the messenger of ‘Brimstone Lord’, He was able to create a second self.”
"He has always shown himself in the form of a 'windmill cat', and this self has been imbued with most of the power, so it is easy to be misunderstood and thought to be his true form."
"Ascension The other person cannot be killed by conventional means... Even if it is annihilated in the mortal world, it will only destroy a body. "
Ji Lan frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Isn't it that the ascended one cannot be killed? As long as he keeps relying on me to walk in the world, he will have no worries?"
"Theoretically, this is the case."
Para's tone was faint.
“But my actions not only require a body made of precious materials, but also the power of my true body, so every damage is considered a serious injury.”
Jilan's eyes suddenly dawned, and he immediately fell into deep thought.
A long while.
He asked in a deep voice:
"Teacher, how can we kill the ascended ones?"
"Huh?" Parra was a little surprised. He gave Gilan a meaningful look and immediately said: "We need to go to Toyalan, the hometown of gods, to find and kill his true body."
"This kind of thing is difficult."
< br>He sighed and said.
“First of all, you must have the strength to kill the ascended person, and secondly, you must be able to find the place where the other person lives in seclusion.”
"Ascended ones, as the name suggests, are people who ascend from the earthly world. The place of ascension is the hometown of gods, also called the astral world, or the upper lunar world."
"The earthly world we are in is The material world is the lower realm of the moon. As big as the earth is, the land of gods is a reflection of each other. "
"If you don't have special means, it's almost like looking for a needle in a haystack."
< br>“Furthermore, ascended people usually have backup in their residences to prevent the enemy from coming... In view of home and away battles, it is rare for ascended people to be killed in the land of gods.”
After listening to the teacher's story, Gilan looked shocked.
He didn't expect that the ascended ones were not only powerful, but also so difficult to kill.
So, as one of the four angels under the former "Noon Dawn" and now the chief messenger of "Sulfur Lord", "Windmill Cat" can still be at ease even though he has offended many forces and even Si Chen. It makes sense after so long.
