The man was obviously in a bad mood. At the same time, Wang Mang also noticed that the man had a Tier 2 alchemist badge.
However, since this man had managed to refine Tier 3 pills, he had clearly mastered several Tier 3 pill formulas, but had likely fallen short of the ten types required to take the examination.
Wang Mang smiled warmly.
“Friend, I have a stall at the rear entrance of the Sacred Emperor Academy.” “Are you trying to sell your medicinal pills? I’m looking for a supplier of medicinal pills to sell at my stall. Don’t worry, the pricing won’t disappoint you, as the sales are based on commission.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. Then, he said hesitantly, “I won’t give in on the price. 70% of the market price. If you can accept that, we can talk. I have three types of Tier 3 pills.”
Hearing this, Wang Mang immediately patted his chest and promised, “No problem! 70% it is!”
“However, I don’t have steady supply channels yet, so how about this? If you can help me find more Tier 3 pills suppliers, I can offer you 80% of the market price.”
The middle-aged man was stunned at first, but then he immediately asked happily, “Are you sure?”
Wang Mang promised solemnly.
“Of course! But the prerequisite is that you can help me find more Tier 3 pills to sell and ensure a steady supply for my stall.”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the middle-aged man said confidently, “Forget about Tier 3 pills, 1 can even find Tier 4 pills for you.”
“You might not know, but there are many alchemists like me who are suffering discrimination due to the fact that we are not yet official alchemists of that tier due to our lack of pill formulas.”
At this point, the middle-aged man’s face was filled with anger.
Wang Mang’s eyes lit up. He suppressed his excitement and said with a smile, “Then it’s settled!”
“You’ll be in charge of finding medicinal pill suppliers, while I’ll deal with the sales and logistics. If you can find Tier 4 pills, I’ll buy them as well.”
“My stall is at the rear entrance of the Divine Emperor Academy, stall Number 32 on the left!”
“Brother, when will you be able to send over the pills?”
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment and replied, “I’ll send the pills to you tomorrow. Just wait for me at the stall.”
“No problem!” Wang Mang nodded with a smile.
After saying that, the two of them parted ways. However, while Wang Mang was in a good mood and was about to leave to recruit a few juniors to man the stall, he suddenly heard the familiar voices of the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor.
“Brother Wang Mang!”
“Eh? Why are you two here?” he asked in surprise.
Hearing this, the Black Bear Emperor and the Dog Emperor looked at each other and said tearfully, “Brother Wang Mang! You don’t know how miserable we have been recently!”
“That’s right! Brother Wang Mang, we’re risking our lives to carry out missions every day, but the immortal stones we earn are a pittance at best.”
“We can’t live like this anymore! Brother Wang Mang…”
The two of them then told Wang Mang about their miserable lives.
After hearing what they had to say, Wang Mang felt a little emotional. He had never imagined that these two had gone through so much hardship.
It was difficult for many experts to accumulate immortal stones in this world. Wang Mang was luckier than most since he had the system.
In comparison, these two had been accepting missions and risking their lives to complete them!
After sighing, Wang Mang said with a serious expression, “How about this? Since we’re brothers, 1’11 take care of you guys for a while.”
“1 was going to recruit some juniors to help me mind my stall and sell pills, but 1 can give this role to you two instead.”
“As for the pay…”
“1’11 give you two choices.”
“The first option is to pay you 10,000 immortal stones a year, while the second option is no pay, but a commission. After deducting costs, you will receive a 5% commission on the profits.”
“How about it? Why don’t you two consider it?”
After hearing Wang Mang’s words, the two of them looked at each other. Then, the Dog Emperor asked in a low voice, “Brother Wang Mang! Isn’t 5% of the profit too low?”
This annoyed Wang Mang, so he simply snapped, “Fine then! 1’11 find someone else who’s willing to do it.”
“You should know yourselves just how many students would fight for this job. If 1 placed this job in the mission hall, there would be students willing to do it for just 1%!”
With that, Wang Mang turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor hurriedly pulled
Wang Mang back and said, “F*ck! F*ck! We’ll do it!”
Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.
“Also, don’t get it wrong. It’s a combined 5% commission, not an individual one!”
The two of them waved their hands repeatedly and said with fawning smiles, “No problem, no problem!”
Hearing this, Wang Mang was overjoyed. He had settled the manpower issue, as well as the supplier issue.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the money to roll in!
Early the next morning, Wang Mang brought the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor to his stall, and instructed them on what to do.
Not long after, the middle-aged alchemist who had reached an agreement with Wang Mang yesterday arrived.
He immediately took out 45 types of Tier 3 pills and four types of low-grade Tier 4 pills from his storage space and handed them to Wang Mang. He said solemnly, “Brother, these are from the sellers I contacted yesterday. They are also willing to accept 70% of the market price for the pills.”
“When the time comes, I’ll come once a month. Just give me the immortal stones from the sales.”
“In addition, if you don’t have enough pills, you can find me on the second floor of the Pill Pavilion in the alchemy area.”
“Right! My name is Liu Sanshui! Tier 2 Alchemist!”
Wang Mang nodded after hearing this. Then, he looked at the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor.
“Did you hear him clearly? If you run out of pills to sell, go to the alchemy area and look for Alchemist Liu.”
Hearing this, the Dog Emperor and the Black Bear Emperor nodded their heads, their eyes filled with envy.
They had not expected that while they were toiling away doing missions, Wang Mang had actually started a business and even managed to get a stall!
This fellow had taken a different path entirely!
After that, Liu Sanshui left.
As for Wang Mang, he started organizing all of the pills in neat sections, clearly marking out the prices. He had a good variety of pills, so he was quite confident in his products.
There were low, middle and high-grade Tier 3 pills, as well as low-grade Tier 4 pills. As such, his pills could cater to all of the Level 3 students, as well as a portion of the Tier 4 students.
After the stall was set up, Wang Mang was in a very good mood.
The prices of Tier 3 pills were roughly divided into four categories, which were:
A bottle of low-grade Tier 3 pills (five pills) cost between 10,000 to 50,000 immortal stones.
A bottle of middle-grade Tier 3 pills (five pills) cost between 50,000 to 100,000 immortal stones.
A bottle of high-grade Tier 3 pills (five pills) cost between 100,000 to 200,000 immortal stones.
A bottle of special Tier 3 pills (five pills) cost at least 200,000 immortal stones!
As for the Tier 4 pills, they started at 1 million immortal stones per bottle!
Thus, even for the low-grade Tier 3 pills, he would earn 15,000 immortal stones per bottle sold.
Just thinking about it made Wang Mang excited..
