Chapter 66
Chapter 65
After the Grand Duke of Orville and the envoys of the Anas Empire left, the next thing was the matter of Boris.
Xia Zuoy understood that Boris suddenly came to Desinian territory for more than just a surprise.
as predicted.
One day after Orville left, Boris found him alone.
“Little Zoe, let’s talk about cooperation in the Chamber of Commerce.”
Xia Zoe nodded and took Boris into the study.
At present, the main cooperation between the Thorns Chamber of Commerce and the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is not only the initial botanical medicine, but also the cooperation including botanical ointment and water-grained paper.
The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce paved the way for the establishment of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce in the Anas Empire, allowing the Thorns Chamber of Commerce to successfully enter the imperial market and gather money through the large-scale sale of plant medicines and ointments.
The two most expensive things that the Thorns Chamber of Commerce sells are rose salt and medicine to treat injuries.
This is also the foundation of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.
The same is something that people must use every day.
The same is something that can save lives at critical moments. Even fanatical believers will say that the plant medicines and ointments of the Thorns Chamber of Commerce are more effective than the holy water given by the God of Creation.
The sale of these two things brings a steady stream of money to the Thorns Chamber of Commerce.
It is precisely because of this that it was able to support the smooth implementation of Xia Zoe’s plan to rebuild the two cities.
The Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce has given him enough convenience and help in these three years.
Among them, the Thorns Chamber of Commerce can gain a foothold in the Anas Empire and is inseparable from Boris.
However, the reason why the Thorns Chamber of Commerce has not been jointly suppressed by other chambers of commerce is also due to the reputation of the Shazoi alchemist.
Where is the drug configuration so easy.
Although alchemy is also linked to medicine to a certain extent, alchemy is different from medicine.
Alchemy is a bold idea, committed to the development of the “philosopher’s stone”, which inevitably includes metal substances.
Most metals are toxic.
Medicine is rigorous.
What’s more, if you don’t understand the medicinal properties, pharmacology, usage and dosage of herbal medicines, how can it be possible to successfully configure medicines that can treat patients.
Xia Zoe’s greatest reliance is his unique “alchemy.”
He is a genius alchemist, other alchemists who are famous and the alchemy tower built in Wisath are the best proof.
But what Boris wants to discuss with him today is also these two issues.
The original salt sales channels have been controlled by the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce. Later, after the emergence of a more convenient and better quality salt drying method, the salt sales channels were expanded.
The Nagabi Chamber of Commerce is no longer the only one, and gradually loosened the control on the sale of salt.
After three years of development, many chambers of commerce have begun to sell salt.
The price of these salts is lower, and they quickly grab market share once they appear. Although they have not reached the point where rose salt and nagabi salt are squeezed out of the market, the prices of the two types of salt have dropped again and again.
In Boris’s view, this is a malicious competition cycle.
But in Xia Zoe’s view, this is a normal trend.
After all, the method of drying salt in sea water is there, and those who are interested will learn it. Moreover, the price of salt will only get cheaper and cheaper until it drops to a certain extent.
Regarding the botanical medicines and ointments, Boris brought a message for Xia Zoe.
“Do you know Chebman Norton?” Boris said.
Xia Zoe nodded: “I know, a very famous alchemist master, he also minors in medicine.”
This alchemist has been famous for a long time and is highly respected by people in the alchemy association.
Since Xia Zoe chose to become an alchemist, he naturally had to know something about it.
After he successfully obtained the title of alchemist, he conducted a lot of investigations.
Among them, Chebman Norton’s name often appears in investigations.
——He has many achievements, and he is undoubtedly a very famous and respected person.
“What happened to Chebman Norton?”
Xia Zoe asked, presumably Boris mentioned at this time that he must have something about botanicals and ointments.
He was right.
Boris said that after several years of painstaking research, Chebman finally produced an effective treatment for cough, fever, abdominal pain and other related drugs.
In addition, he also developed an ointment specifically to treat the **** and door.
Xia Zoe almost choked on drooling.
anus? Is it an ointment for hemorrhoids?
He asked doubtfully.
Boris did not find it difficult to speak up, so he explained in detail the symptoms of the ointment treatment, blood in the stool, pain, restlessness…
It is indeed the reaction when you have hemorrhoids.
Xia Zoe couldn’t help sighing: “Chebman is worthy of being a master alchemist.”
As a lord, he can’t always study medicine and so on. There are too many things to deal with at ordinary times, and the progress in medicine and ointment will inevitably be slow.
Boris leaned on the chair, knocked on the tabletop with one hand, and sneered: “It is undeniable that Chebman is indeed very talented.”
“But look at what kind of medicinal ointment he has studied. Except for this ointment for treating the anus, all the other medicines collide with what you have studied. I don’t believe there is nothing in it.
“If he really has the ability to research drugs, why didn’t he have any achievements in this area before you?”
“Little Zoe, you must know that he is now a tens of years old man. He hasn’t researched it out in decades. Why can he make it now?”
“What’s more, I sent someone to investigate. Prior to this, Chebman had ordered people to buy a large number of potions and ointments from the Chamber of Commerce…”
Chebman only achieved this result after Shazoe’s research, and how it came about is self-evident.
Boris said: “Little Zoe, don’t be too optimistic.”
“You didn’t know that Chebman Norton has been recruited by the Ed Chamber of Commerce, and the Ed Chamber of Commerce has now begun to sell the same plant potions and ointments on a large scale, and the price is cheaper than ours…”
The Ede Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Saint Airo Empire.
Although its status cannot be compared with that of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, its ability to gain a foothold in an empire and make it bigger must not be underestimated.
The most important thing is that the Ede Chamber of Commerce is backed by members of the Royal Family of the Saint Iro Empire, just as the Nagarbi Chamber of Commerce secretly has the support of the Royal Family of the Anas Empire.
Once the same but cheaper drugs appear on the market, the advantages of either the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce or the Thorns Chamber of Commerce are completely lost.
Unless they also start to reduce the prices of botanicals and ointments.
But even in this case, the large amount of lost gold coins cannot be recovered, and subsequent sales will definitely decline.
Xia Zoe did not have the annoyance of Boris, the popularization of necessities and being studied are normal.
Because this is an extremely huge market, even if you only occupy a small market share in it, the profits you get are considerable.
The businessman is chasing profit, and he is not surprised by the result.
Furthermore, he would not deny Chebman Norton’s ability.
After all, in the past three years, there must be countless alchemists who want to study the botanical potions and ointments sold in the Chamber of Commerce.
However, until now, only Chebman Norton has eaten it and made it by himself.
Not only that, he also made an ointment to treat hemorrhoids.
Chebman Norton’s abilities need not be questioned.
Shazoi thought of this and said to Boris: “I remember that Chebman’s status is not low. He is also a nobleman, and since there is the Ed Chamber of Commerce behind him, the Ed Chamber of Commerce is backed by the Saint Airo Empire… …”
“Chebman didn’t choose to research a drug and then release it, but chose to research it all at once and sell it in the Ed Chamber of Commerce, which shows that they are already fully prepared for it.”
“We can’t move him right now, there is no need to struggle with this matter to the end.”
“I will continue to study botanical medicines and ointments, medical procedures for traumatic injuries, etc., not to mention that it is time to add money to other projects.”
Boris raised his head when he heard the words, and interest flashed in his deep lake green eyes: “What do you want to do again?”
Xia Zoe: “Do you think the riding clothes I asked the tailor to make for you look good?”
“good looking.”
Boris nodded and quickly understood what he meant: “Do you want to sell this riding outfit?”
Before Xia Zoe could answer, Boris frowned and said: “Little Zoe, I think you should think about it. It’s not feasible to sell riding clothes.”
“Riding clothes can only be worn by nobles, and this style can be sewn by tailors with good craftsmanship as long as you buy it back and disassemble it for research…”
He shook his head, this kind of business is very uneconomical.
Boris clearly disagrees.
Xia Zuoyi said: “Boris, it’s not just riding clothes, how can there be only one kind of clothes I want to launch.”
“I plan to take two routes, one is advanced customization, and the other is affordable.”
“High-level customization is mainly aimed at the nobles, while the affordable clothing is aimed at some small estate owners, for all civilians and slaves…”
Boris knew that Xia Zoe must have his own ideas, so he listened to him quietly.
“The focus of haute couture clothing is on design, and the price is definitely not cheap. Let’s leave it alone for now.
“Let’s first talk about affordable and affordable clothing. The focus is on women’s clothing…”
In this era, nobles have the conditions to dress themselves up very gorgeous, but the style and style of clothes are very monotonous, monotonous to the point of ugly.
For example, the riding outfit that Xia Zoy disliked, otherwise he wouldn’t have thought of improving it.
However, small manor owners, poor civilians or slaves who have no extra money have no conditions to choose luxury clothes.
Especially civilians and slaves, they still have to live full, food, clothing, shelter, clothes to wear, food, and a place to live, and they want to dress up.
The colors of their clothes are mostly black, gray and white, without decorations and characteristics.
Some costumes are even a simple robe, with three more holes for the head and two arms to pass through.
The market for women’s clothing is unimaginable.
Women are beautiful in nature. If there is a new and beautiful outfit that is even cheaper, which woman can withstand the temptation.
Since you have exchanged so many clothing design books, you can’t let your prestige be worthless.
These books are professional books for designers to learn. Many trend-leading styles that have appeared in the past are broken down by examples, which can allow designers to learn and inspire creative inspiration.
Xia Zoe is not a designer.
But he has a normal understanding of beauty, and he has watched catwalk shows in modern times. The aesthetics is always online. It is still possible to pull out the backward fashion design on the Lassie mainland. Maybe a lot of designers will follow the trend in the future. .
——All designers are tailors.
He felt that this sentence was extremely correct.
Xia Zoe told Boris his thoughts.
As the leader of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, Boris naturally had a keen business intuition. He was able to perceive the huge business opportunities in it, so he asked about cooperation.
Xia Zoe: “First of all, I need the dyeing process of the Anas Empire, Boris, you will give me this process for free.”
