Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 539 Discount Price

As the experiment concluded, all the researchers and testers left the conference room with their equipment; they were no longer required to participate.

"Ahem... Wang Teng, your product is actually very effective, but... how's the production volume?" Shao Zheng hadn't lost his temper.

If production volume is very low, then there's not much point in discussing it, and the same goes for price.

"The technology is in place, and I'm waiting to build the factory for mass production. Quantity is not a problem; we should be able to reach 1 bottles per month initially."

"If things go ideally, it shouldn't take long to prepare."

After considering it for a moment, Wang Teng gave a rather conservative estimate: this number of initial products would be quite good.

In addition, there is the issue of profitability. Taking the standard version of 10,000 per tube as a reference, his expectation is to sell it for 3 million per bottle!

Its high quality is so impressive that it's not surprising that if sold individually, it could fetch an even higher price per bottle. This stuff is definitely not a high-end supply intended for novice mages.

He still remembered when he was training in Australia, he seized Luo Mian's life potion, which cost ten million per vial!

For mid-level and high-level mages, purchasing such life-saving supplies is just right; it's a price they can easily accept with a little effort.

Especially for hunter mages, after all, they make money quite quickly, much faster than novice mages.

As for those with some money, they can buy it and drink it like water, or even use it as an aphrodisiac. As for whether they can make up for it, they don't know.

Those who work as landscaping artists, gardeners, and people who make magical tools and artifacts, they have plenty of money.

As for production costs, if the Seoul naval battlefield is completed, the total cost might only be 3. He only needs slave-level sirens; he's not stupid to use warrior-level ones for production, as that would cost a different amount.

He can create the next version of the product, and the quality can be gradually improved. The only drawback is that it cannot be mass-produced.

After all, the higher the level of the siren or demon, the fewer there are; this is an objective fact.

"Ten thousand bottles a month is still a bit low, but it's acceptable. We just need to increase production capacity in the future."

"Tell me, what price are you planning to sell it for?" Shao Zheng asked again, still unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

"Hmm... I'll give you a discounted price, 5 million per bottle." Wang Teng grinned and looked at the group of people opposite him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shaoxu's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly composed herself. She hadn't expected Wang Teng to dare to bid so high!

The cost is only that of a servant-level demon, and the purchase price is at most a few tens of thousands, which is very cheap.

Now, she's asking for 5 million a bottle right off the bat, which is more than a hundred times the original price, leaving her speechless!

"Too high... This price is unreasonable!" Shao Zheng's face was full of wrinkles; this price was outrageous.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was buying some high-end luxury potion, which made him think to himself that it was a total rip-off!

"There aren't many similar products on the market that are even slightly better than mine, and those products are priced at several million or even tens of millions."

"Selling it for 5 million is already a great deal. Even if you dilute it 150 times to the standard blood serum, it's enough to make over a hundred bottles."

"At this price, it's only a little over 3 yuan per bottle, but the effect is far better than the standard version of the blood serum."

"Moreover, high-quality blood products can be used as raw materials for other higher-quality drugs, which are priced far higher than my 5 million, and their profit margin is huge."

Wang Teng smiled and spread his hands, saying that this was not just talk, but the truth.

Whether you choose to dilute downwards or extend upwards, it's fine; that's the characteristic of his blood serum: high purity and no impurities.

"Converting to a higher-level potion requires more than just a high concentration of blood essence; it also requires other high-level materials, as well as consumable costs, etc."

"The sales cycle is also long, and the profit margin is not large anymore," one of the councilors interrupted Wang Teng.

The others gave him approving looks; they hadn't expected to find a fellow member of parliament who knew about high-end medicines sitting there.

"But high-purity blood essence is only available here, isn't it? This can greatly reduce errors, increase the margin for error, and make the success rate of high-grade potions even higher. You didn't mention that."

Wang Teng looked at the other person and was surprised that someone could use academic terminology; it seemed like a knowledgeable person.

"I still think 5 million is too expensive. After all, we're not buying it separately, so we can't be going to go for the same price as the market."

"I think a price of 150 million per bottle is perfectly reasonable!" Shao Zheng shook his head and said, directly slashing the price from the original.

He was too embarrassed to call out a lower price, since the quality was such that it couldn't possibly be lower than the price of ordinary blood serum.

"That's impossible... The maximum discount I can offer is 100,000!"

"I can buy more, 160 million will do, since the quality is quite good."

"Why don't you just go out on the street and pick it up for free? You can even ask for 160 million, but you can't ask for 480 million less."

"You're being too absolute... 170 million it is, I'll take the loss."

“…………”

The meeting room immediately became noisy, with everyone talking at once and arguing heatedly. Both sides knew it was a good product, but each wanted to gain more advantage.

After all, the starting selling price is in units of tens of thousands, and once the transaction volume increases, the profits will be enormous.

High-purity blood semen can still be considered a raw material and can be further processed, although this requires more advanced technology.

China has a natural advantage in this regard, as it has a large number of talents in drug research and development and abundant related technological reserves.

The potion can be used by both military and local garrison mages, and its market acceptance is extremely high, making it widely applicable.

More than an hour later, the price debate finally settled on the range of 300 million to 350 million, with neither side seemingly willing to back down further on this point.

After bidding up to 300 million, Shao Zheng stopped and had no intention of raising the price any further. According to his thinking, blood essence dilution would be the best option, as it would protect the interests of more lower-level mages.

After all, 2 yuan for a single dose of high-efficiency blood serum is quite a worthwhile purchase, as the domestic supply of blood serum has always been insufficient.

This is related to the refining technology. It is difficult for low-level demons to refine blood essence of sufficient purity. There is also the need to remove impurities from demonic power, which increases the cost.

Therefore, only certain types of demons meet the standards for refining blood potions; otherwise, production is basically unprofitable.

The cost of slightly higher-level demons increases exponentially, and the difficulty of refining them also rises accordingly, since high-level demons are different from low-level demons.

However, the cost of producing standard blood serum is simply not feasible; it would result in huge losses. Only by producing high-grade serum can there be a profit margin.

The others, however, were extremely anxious and wished they could agree on Shao Zheng's behalf on the spot, as the price had completely met their expectations.

"How about this? I can sell them for 3 million per bottle!"

"But there's a condition: you need to provide the raw materials free of charge and be responsible for their delivery. Any slave-level demon or siren will do."

"How about two demons for every bottle? If that doesn't work, then I'm out of ideas."

Wang Teng thought for a moment and backed down slightly. Currently, the Seoul naval battlefield has not been built and production cannot proceed. Furthermore, even if it is built, there will inevitably be a crisis of raw material shortage in the future.
