Chapter 167 The First Potion Order

Angelo and Aisi were stunned for a moment, then they kept smiling and asked Locke to go into the store first.

After all, they were good friends with Locke, so they naturally couldn’t just ask him to leave like they did with Robert.

Robert looked at Locke, who was welcomed into the store by the two store managers, and suddenly felt a little indignant. He turned and left angrily, muttering, “Damn it, this is too unfair.”

“Judging from their appearance, they must be friends. So the reason why I can’t sell my potion is because I lack the necessary connections.”

Robert rolled his eyes, making a completely wrong judgment. “It seems that if I want to keep my pharmacy going, I need to make friends with some potion shop owners.”

“I’m not desperate at all. If things really don’t work out, I can always sign a few loan agreements first… Or I can find a job and use the salary to support my own pharmacy. As long as I can make friends with a few store managers, I should be able to open up my first sales channel.”

The more Robert thought about it, the more excited he became. “As long as my personal pharmacy can sell its first product, selling potions in the future will be much easier.”

“This is my most difficult time now, but it will get better in the future!”

…

Inside the Owl Cauldron shop, Aisi and Anglu asked the clerk to pour Locke a cup of fragrant Anglu La tea and invited Locke into the VIP room.

Once inside the VIP room, all the airs that Angelo and Aisi were holding in front of the shop assistants disappeared.

Angelo shrugged, leaned against the wall, and said to Locke, “Locke, you’ve given me a difficult problem. Let me tell you in advance, even if you are my friend, I can’t give you too many conveniences.”

“If Madam Irina finds out I allowed less-than-perfect potions into the Owl’s Cauldron shop, I’ll lose my job.”

Aisi also nodded.

Locke nodded. “Understood.”

He just came here to save trouble.

Judging from the experimental data of memory ointment, even if you go to other large potion shops, you will sooner or later encounter a potion shop that interests you.

But since there is this relationship, why not use it?

“I understand.” Locke took a sip of Angelula tea without hesitation, then placed the experimental data and production certificate of the memory ointment in front of Angel and Aisi.

Angelo and Aisi each glanced at Locke, then sat down and began to look carefully.

The biggest advantage of having connections is that you can omit those things and make others trust your time and energy.

Indeed, only outstanding products can win orders.

But the prerequisite is that others should also carefully look at the experimental data of your product.

Ten minutes later, Locke said to Angelo and Aisi, whose expressions were gradually becoming serious, “If your store has no intention of ordering my memory ointment, I can find another store.”

“It’s okay.”

Angelo quickly waved his hands, raised his head, and said to Locke: “No, no, no, your memory ointment is not comparable to what the first-class wizard apprentice brought just now.”

“Locke, you actually improved the formula of the Ningsi ointment.”

Aisi standing by also had an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Aisi whispered, “The Concentration Ointment is an old formula with a long history. In the past hundred years, there have only been some minor improvements to the production process. Precisely because the technology is mature, the academy distributes five bottles of Concentration Ointment to second-class wizard apprentices every month.”

“As a benefit.”

Angelo nodded and said, “Yes, the Concentration Ointment is a potion with a very wide range of uses. But if the experimental data of your memory ointment is true, then even first-class wizard apprentices will want to buy it.”

Ai Xi said, “How could it be fake? Locke even published a B-level article using this data. That data would have to be verified by the prophetic spells of those general scholars.”

“Besides, I’ve always believed that Locke’s character is much better than yours, Angelo.”

Angel’s mind raced faster than Aisi’s, and he quickly came up with a lot of ideas. “There aren’t many potions that can improve memory. This one will be a huge seller.”

“Those shapeshifters who study Transfiguration Magic, Generalists of the School of General Studies, Sketchers of the School of Enchanting, Illusionists of the School of Illusion, and Defenders of the School of Protection… these wizards in these sub-fields of magic who need exceptional memory will all need Memory Ointment.”

Angelo’s eyes became hot. In his opinion, if he and Aisi could get this kind of potion, even if it was just a few months earlier than other potion shops, he and Aisi would receive great rewards from Madam Irina.

If it weren’t for industry practice, potion makers wouldn’t form long-term, fixed cooperative relationships with a single store like breeders do.

He even wanted to reach a single-channel cooperation with Locke.

Angelo raised his head and said to Locke with an extremely positive smile: “Locke, is this your work?”

Locke nodded slightly.

Angelo and Aisi nodded in admiration. Angelo sighed, “I heard that Witch Sophia was the most dazzling genius of our Lilith Cottage in the previous generation. Now it seems that you two are of the same lineage.”

“Locke, your talent in potions is at least much better than mine and Aisi’s.”

“It only took you three months.”

“The third-class wizard apprentice you used for the experiment seems to have become a second-class wizard apprentice now. Well, his original qualification was level 4. According to the general rules, he would become a second-class wizard apprentice in about three years.”

“It’s been two and a half years now. It seems your memory ointment has helped him a lot.”

Locke covered up a little, “Three months is just the time to convert the experimental data. The time I spent improving the Ningsi ointment was much longer than this.”

“I was just lucky and happened to find a direction for improvement.”

“As for the third-class wizard apprentice, I think the time it takes him to become a second-class wizard apprentice is not only because of the memory ointment, but also because I hired him as a test subject. He earned 100 magic stones from me every month and used these magic stones to purchase a lot of resources.”

Angelo smiled and nodded slightly. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone promote his potions in a potion shop. Not only does he not exaggerate the efficacy, but he also downplays the value of his own experimental data.”

Angelo smiled and said, “Locke, our shop buys Concentration Ointment for 12 magic stones per bottle. If we sell it to customers, it’s 15 magic stones per bottle.”

“That’s equivalent to earning a profit of 3 magic stones per unit.”

“But the memory ointment will obviously have a greater market demand and be more effective, so we’ll charge you 15 magic stones per bottle. Is that okay?”

Locke nodded slightly.

This price was in line with his previous expectations.

Angelo couldn’t wait. “Then we can sign the contract. But how many tubes of memory ointment can you provide us per month?”

Locke thought for a moment. “About 375. Maybe more, maybe less.”

Angelo felt it was a pity. “Can’t we produce more?”

“Locke, potions are consumables. The market demand is much greater than that of magic plants.”

Locke smiled bitterly. “It’s mainly because my productivity is limited.”

He really needed to recruit more second-class wizard apprentices, and if necessary, he could even recruit first-class wizard apprentice assistants in the future.

Build a massive personal pharmacy!

Just like Angron, Albert, Astrid, and Miranda.

However, before doing so, he needed to gain a firm foothold and understand the ins and outs of the muddy potion trade before he could do so.

Otherwise, he would become like Robert before, investing blindly and ending up in serious financial problems.
