Chapter 255:Into the Wilderness for the First Time! (1)
The Channel Charlotte of the Calva Chamber of Commerce is someone Billy is familiar with. Now, Billy wants to use the Calva Chamber of Commerce's channel to promote insulin for free.
The insulin is purchased at 100 copper coins and sold at the same price externally, without any profit for the middleman?
Charlotte can't think of any reason to refuse such a good opportunity.
Successful individuals like Billy, who are already financially independent, naturally want to give back to society. Of course, Charlotte can't stop him.
"Perhaps we can sit down and discuss the details of the partnership," Charlotte said as he poured a cup of tea for Billy, initiating a conversation about the specific details of the collaboration.
After about half an hour, Billy left the clinic.
Charlotte carefully put away the 10,000 orders for insulin in his hand, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
10,000 units of insulin, priced at 100 copper coins per unit, amounts to 1,000,000 copper coins.
According to the collaboration agreement with Billy, these 10,000 units of insulin will be delivered in three batches: 3,000 units in the first month, 3,000 units in the second month, and 4,000 units in the third month.
He will earn that one million copper coins within three months.
Sometimes, the world works in mysterious ways. He had just heard Vivian suggest lowering the price of insulin, thinking he would make less profit. But unexpectedly, Billy was moved and placed a million copper coins order.
Furthermore, with the promotion through the Calva Chamber of Commerce, there is a greater chance of reaching more diabetes patients with insulin, saving their lives while continuously expanding the target audience for insulin.
"And how many units did you discuss?" Vivian approached.
Charlotte held up one finger and said, "Ten thousand."
"That's one million copper coins!" Vivian exclaimed.
"Uncle Billy is really generous."
"He is the third-in-command of the Calva Chamber of Commerce and a truly successful individual," Charlotte nodded in agreement.
He waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll go cook. This month, we'll have meat every meal!"
"Long live the boss!" Vivian cheered excitedly.
"Long live the master!" Kasha followed, raising her little hand.
...
"You're helping Charlotte sell medicine?" Jenny, who was planning to have a meal with Billy at the entrance of the Abyss Academy, said in surprise.
Roland, who was standing next to her, also looked surprised. It was unexpected that someone like Billy would want to collaborate with Charlotte, considering his background.
"Yes, today he reduced the price of insulin from 1000 copper coins to 100 copper coins, just so that more diabetes patients can afford it," Billy said with emotion.
"You know, even at the price of 1000 copper coins, we still need to inject it every day to stay alive. This is life-saving medicine, and the price is entirely set by him. He chooses not to profit from it."
"Reduced to 100 copper coins? Is he crazy?!" Jenny exclaimed in astonishment.
Having accompanied Billy for two injections, she knew the price. For her, 1000 copper coins was not a large sum, but she understood the difference compared to 100 copper coins.
This means that patients who were not well-off before could now more easily afford the daily insulin injections due to the lower price.
She could see Charlotte's situation. His charges for surgical treatments were already quite low, and now he has set the price of medicine to be so cheap.
"He may not be a qualified businessman, but he seems to be a good doctor," Jenny pondered, feeling that her previous evaluation of him may have been biased.
"Charlotte is indeed an interesting person. It's only because of him that he can be so carefree," Roland also said thoughtfully.
If it were him who had developed this, he probably wouldn't be able to lower the price from 1,000 copper coins to 100 copper coins.
The group of people in the family who always have "family interests" on their lips would be the first to stop him.
"There are many patients with this disease, but there has never been a treatment before. They were considered abandoned by the gods by those doctors. I plan to sell insulin through the Calva Chamber of Commerce's channels to quickly promote this life-saving medicine and save more diabetes patients.," Billy said.
Jenny smiled and said, "My uncle and father will definitely support you."
...
After lunch, Charlotte took Vivian to the potion workshop, where she would be responsible for the potion brewing work today.
Charlotte went to the glass factory and ordered 10,000 units of insulin vials and a batch of regular potion vials. After some bargaining, he successfully reduced the cost of the vials due to a large number of orders.
After making a round trip back to the workshop, it was bustling with activity.
Vivian stood on the platform, directing and coordinating the work, showing leadership qualities.
Jacob stood by the stove, ensuring the temperature of the furnace.
Under Nora's guidance, the potions from the large potion furnace flowed into the vials one by one. In no time, a box was filled, and the efficiency was very high.
Charlotte went to the potion storage room, counted and set aside the potions for Leo, and then found a delivery carriage, paying 600 copper coins to have the goods delivered to Calva.
The smoke from the potion brewing was directed towards the gaps in the back valley, effectively eliminating it without polluting the Abyss. It was like a natural smoke extractor.
In the afternoon, Vivian successfully brewed 6 out of 8 batches of potions, which was a good success rate.
Charlotte stayed in the potion workshop until it was almost dark before leaving. He took hundreds of low-level first aid kits with him to avoid the trouble of brewing them again at night.
Brewing one successful batch was equivalent to brewing ten batches at the clinic.
Charlotte also successfully brewed one batch of golden strength potions, filling 100 bottles, with a value of 80,000 copper coins.
However, this batch completely consumed his supply of golden vines, so he would have to look for adventurers tomorrow and offer a mission to dig up golden vines.
Back at the clinic, two people were sitting on the steps at the entrance.
"Doctor Charlotte, you've returned," Jonah stood up and greeted with a smile.
Celia, still wearing a fur chest strap and short skirt, also stood up hastily, her silver spear behind her and a large package next to her. When she saw Charlotte, a smile appeared on her face as well.
"Herbs?" Charlotte looked at the package next to Celia's feet and asked.
"Yes, didn't you give me a list before? We happened to come across a few on the way back today and dug them up for you," Jonah handed the package to Charlotte.
Charlotte directly opened the package, which contained three herbs, but no golden vines, which disappointed him a bit. "Thanks, but I won't need these herbs anymore. If you come across golden vines, dig them up for me with the roots and leaves intact, and I will buy them from you at a price of 1000 copper coins each."
"You only want golden vines," Jonah scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and then assured him, "Alright, I'll dig them up for you tomorrow. Just got a mission to catch Shooting Star Mice, so I should encounter them on the way to Stone Gorge."
"Catching Shooting Star Mice?" Charlotte showed some interest.
"Shooting Star Mice are a very cute low-level magical beast. They are snow-white and glow at night. When they glide through the sky at night, they look like shooting stars, hence the name," Vivian chimed in, but she didn't mention that she used to have one.
"Really, Miss Elin is truly knowledgeable. This is a mission I took from the Calva Adventurers Guild. The young ladies in the city like to keep these cute little things as pets, and the commission is quite good," Jonah chuckled and said, "We saw these creatures when we passed by Stone Gorge before and want to try our luck again."
"Stone Gorge is on the outskirts of the wilderness, right?" Charlotte asked again.
"Yes, it's considered the outskirts of the wilderness, but it's still dozens of kilometers away from the Abyss. We have to take a detour to get there," Jonah nodded and looked at Charlotte, who seemed quite interested. He casually asked, "Why? Doctor, do you also want to venture into the wilderness?"
"Brother, stop making things up. The doctor is busy with treating patients every day. Where would he have time to wander in the wilderness," Celia tugged at Jonah's clothes and reminded him softly, worried that Jonah might offend Charlotte.
"Hehe, I was just joking," Jonah smiled and said.
"If you don't mind, I can accompany you into the wilderness tomorrow morning if you're not burdened. I also want to see the world," Charlotte said.
