Peerless Little Immortal Doctor

Chapter 429: Chapter 429: Increase the Cost Price

As the Bentley entered a villa district, Liu Lanxin and Zhang Xiaoman were both shocked.

This was really a wealthy residence area, located in the most bustling part of Binlai City, and it was not just about having money to live here, but one must also have the strength to qualify.

Clearly, Mo Wanqing had ample strength.

“Xia Liu, will you be returning tonight?” After arriving home, Mo Wanqing asked with curiosity.

“I probably won’t return, not until Xiaoman collects her report card tomorrow.”

“Hee hee, that really inconveniences Brother Xia Liu.” Hearing these warm words, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t hide her delight.

...

“Then good, I will have someone tidy up a room later, and you two can stay at my home tonight,” Mo Wanqing said happily.

“This…”

“Great! Then we really are troubling Aunt Qing,” Xia Liu was just about to refuse when Liu Lanxin interrupted him and accepted the offer.

“It’s no trouble; we will probably only go for the report cards at noon tomorrow. With that being the case, we can enjoy a few drinks.”

“We will follow Aunt Qing’s arrangements.”

…

Xia Liu had stopped thinking too much about it; anyway, they needed a place to stay, and sleeping here was fine.

Staying here had another benefit, too: there would be no worry about these two women getting up to any mischief.

As time passed, before the night fell, Xia Liu joined Mo Wanqing, Zhang Xiaoman, and Liu Lanxin around a luxurious dining table.

“Here’s to our hero, Xia Liu!” Liu Lanxin declared, raising her glass with vigor.

“Cheers!”

All four of them emptied the red wine from their glasses.

“Xia Liu, what are your plans after you go back?” A few drinks later, Liu Lanxin, bolstered by the alcohol, asked.

Actually, what she wanted to say was that since she had graduated, she might take on many business dealings with Tianluo Pharmaceutical.

If it was possible, she would like to invest so that Xia Liu could produce some innovative products, achieving a win-win situation.

“Since you’re asking like this, then let me discuss with you some matters about cooperation,” Liu Lanxin started, and Xia Liu immediately became interested. He had been planning this for a while, and running into Liu Lanxin was the perfect time to broach the topic.

“Hmm? Did you encounter any problems with your cooperation?” Although Mo Wanqing didn’t know what their cooperation entailed, she was quite worried something might go wrong, given that both were friends she cherished.

“Aunt Qing needn’t worry, there’s no issue with the cooperation, I just want to adjust it somewhat,” Xia Liu replied with a light smile.

“You don’t mind letting Aunt Qing know about your cooperation, do you?”

Zhang Xiaoman was also all ears, eager to find out exactly what this cooperation was about.

“That’s still for Xia Liu to say, I’m not good at explaining,” Liu Lanxin said with some embarrassment, because it involved medicinal liquor, and its primary effect made her shy…

“Xiaoman, Aunt Qing, what kind of look is that? My deal with Lanxin is strictly business,” Xia Liu quickly explained, seeing the peculiar looks on Zhang Xiaoman and Mo Wanqing’s faces.

“Actually, I have a partnership with Lanxin, or I should say with Tianluo Pharmaceutical, to produce a product called ‘Beauty Mud,’ and as for the effects…” Xia Liu stopped there.

The atmosphere became awkward; it was one thing to discuss such matters with two young women who were still innocent, but it was going overboard to talk about it with Mo Wanqing.

“Hmm, I am already aware of Tianluo Pharmaceutical’s medicinal liquor, go on,” Mo Wanqing did not show any sign of discomfiture, as she wanted to know how Xia Liu intended to adjust the cooperation.

Liu Lanxin was also interested in this because this collaboration had been going on for a long time.

Both sides had been operating very smoothly, so Xia Liu’s sudden desire for adjustment indicated that there might be some unfavorable issues.

“The situation is this: the raw materials for making medicinal liquor are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and if we continue consuming at this rate, it won’t be long before we face the same fate as the Beauty Mud.”

“What! The raw materials for medicinal liquor are running out too!” Hearing this news, Liu Lanxin was undoubtedly the most agitated.

Beauty Mud had brought endless hope to the Liu Family, and medicinal liquor had brought endless wealth to Tianluo Pharmaceutical.

If that chain were to break, from any angle, it would be a colossal loss.

“Ah! Such a sad state of affairs, if Beauty Mud had continued to this day, it might have already become a global sensation.”

Mo Wanqing deeply understood the quality and allure of Beauty Mud, and she somewhat regretted not buying more from Xia Liu when she had the chance.

“Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, I said the raw materials are hard to find, not that there are none.”

Hearing Xia Liu’s explanation, Liu Lanxin immediately pressed him, “Then what do you mean?”

“The production costs have increased…”

…

As Xia Liu slowly revealed this, those at the table fell into silence.

Mo Wanqing, having seen her fair share of people, curled up the corners of her mouth with a faint smile; it seemed she knew what Xia Liu was planning.

“Haha! What a strong reason, just say the costs have increased, alright? No need to scare people,” Liu Lanxin said, rolling her eyes at Xia Liu once she caught on.

This guy really was something else; given the current sales heat of the medicinal liquor, even if Xia Liu didn’t mention it.

She would have discussed raising the price with her family when she returned.

“I’m telling the truth, you can check if you don’t believe me,” Xia Liu said earnestly.

“Check what? Even if the medicinal liquor were given to the most authoritative analysis team, they couldn’t uncover the mysteries it contains.”

“Eh? Is that medicinal liquor really so formidable?”

“Aunt Qing, it’s not about being formidable; no matter how many times it’s tested, the results are always the same; there’s nothing harmful to the human body in its components. On the contrary, the liquor contains various nutrients that boost human hormones, making people healthier the more they drink it.” Seeing Mo Wanqing’s astonishment, Liu Lanxin immediately clarified.

“Any product made by Xia Liu, I knew it wouldn’t be anything substandard,” Mo Wanqing said with much heartening.

She had great expectations for Xia Liu, and indeed, just by observing his way of doing things, it was clear that he was bound to become a world-renowned figure.

“So tell us, what kind of price would you be satisfied with?” After her explanation, Liu Lanxin turned her gaze to Xia Liu.

“Hehe, I’m easy to satisfy,” Xia Liu remarked as he picked up his wine glass and gently swirled the pale red liquid within.

“Speak up, this is a partnership between you and me, I can make the decisions.” Liu Lanxin was almost driven to the edge of annoyance by his sluggishness, which was exasperating.

“I did some calculations, producing three hundred milliliters of medicinal liquor now costs thirty thousand.”

“Pfft!” Just as she was about to swallow the wine in her mouth, Liu Lanxin heard Xia Liu’s price and ended up spraying the wine all over Xia Liu.

It wasn’t just Liu Lanxin who was stunned; even Mo Wanqing was shocked.

Three hundred milliliters for thirty thousand yuan!@@novelbin@@

The price was simply astronomical.

What gold, what diamonds, compared to this medicinal liquor, they paled in significance.

Zhang Xiaoman propped her chin with her hand, her bright eyes fixed on Xia Liu, filled with admiration that was both shy and immense.

“Xia Liu! You might as well rob a bank, it would be faster that way.” Once she collected herself, Liu Lanxin said sarcastically.
