The conscience of heaven and earth, Gu Zuo's purpose of refining Baojing Pills is indeed to go to the low-end market of healing, to provide Qigong practitioners, martial arts practitioners, and even ordinary people with a pill that suits their level of cultivation and physical condition.

This is Gu Zuo's original intention to use medicine that has no strong side effects and is relatively inexpensive.

As for strengthening the spirit, it was just a side effect to speed up the recovery of injuries. But it was this side effect that made Baojing Pills continue to become popular. This made Gu Zuo think of some past events and couldn't help but feel dazed.

If we immediately adjust the target market and lower the price, it is very possible to expand sales to more than 100,000 per year!

The cost of the medicinal materials of Baojing Pills is fifty cents, plus the opportunity cost of refining - including monk labor, spiritual stones and pill furnaces. Each pill will definitely not exceed one hundred cents. The current wholesale price is three hundred cents.

The retail price on the market ranges from 500 to 600 yuan. This price has indeed shut out a large number of potential users.

But what we have to consider now is not only the price, but also the output. Let’s not talk about whether there is enough Yuanyang grass. There are four monks in Huaixian Pavilion who can refine Baojing Pills. They are working at full capacity, and they can only get more than 2,000 pills per month. What’s more?

This is impossible. Gu Zuo himself does not have time to devote all his efforts to it. Therefore, the monthly output of 500 grains is an appropriate number.

Among them, I refining elixirs three days a month, the butcher refining elixirs seven days a month, and Li Gusheng and Ding Jiugu refining elixirs fifteen days a month. Any more will affect everyone's improvement in cultivation.

Six thousand pills a year is a number that is suitable for Huaixian Pavilion. This number is quite different from the current market demand. It is useless to reduce prices. According to the relationship between supply and demand, the profit part can only be cheaper for middlemen.

"Increase the price! Four hundred coins per pill!" Gu Zuo decided to test it out. Even if it causes a drop in sales, it doesn't matter. It can just alleviate the refining intensity of Huaixian Pavilion.

What's more, if the price increases by 100 fen, when it is retailed in the market, it will only increase by about 150 fen. Users who can afford five to six hundred fen per pill, do they care about paying an extra 150 fen? Maybe they do.

But Gu Zuo didn't think it was a big problem.

Cheng Shanhu and Su San also regretted the increase in the price of Baojing Pills, but Gu Zuoyi explained that they had also come to their senses. The output of Huaixian Pavilion was here, so lowering the price would do no good to the pavilion.

In fact, Gu Zuo hopes that these two people will also join the Soul Searching Jue training team, but Soul Searching Jue is different from other techniques. It is too overbearing and possessive. After practicing Soul Searching Jue, these two original techniques will be useless.

Yes, they need to think this over themselves. Gu Zuo can't even offer a word of advice. Who knows if they will resent this in the future?

The increase in the price of sperm-preserving pills did not affect the sales. Chengshanhu finally reached an agreement with Kongcang Taoist to provide a batch of sperm-preserving pills to Baihuamen on a monthly basis, but not five hundred pills, but two hundred pills.

With such a long-term contract, the sales volume of Baojing Pills will not drop. As long as the refining is stable, the net income will be 1,800 yuan per year!

Baojing Pills are now Huaixian Pavilion's biggest revenue, and there must be no problem with the supply of Yuanyangcao. Although he and Yuan Taoist Master made a verbal agreement for incentive acquisitions, they are still not sure. Gu Zuo plans to go there again

A trip to Pingtai Villa changed the oral agreement into a written agreement, and it came down to words.

In addition, is it time to talk to Taoist Yuan about buying shares in Pingtai Villa? This is a major strategic issue for the further development of Huaixian Pavilion. It must not be ignored. Buying shares in upstream suppliers to form a bundled relationship will only allow Gu Zuo to sleep.

Well done.

The day before Gu Zuo was about to leave, a boy from the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop came to the door and called at the foot of the mountain, asking to see Gu Zuo.

Logically speaking, Gengjin Mountain was closed and the Huaixian Pavilion was closed to outsiders, but the visitor was from Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop. Gu Zuo quickly asked Cheng Shanhu to open the magic circle and bring the young man up the mountain.

This young man is fourteen or fifteen years old, articulate, and is Mr. Zhong Er's long-term attendant. When he saw Gu Zuo, he immediately bowed and saluted: "I have met Mr. Gu. This time I came to Gengjin Mountain. My master has something to say.

You need to inform the owner."

"Please say."

"My master has never reached any agreement with the Huaixian Pavilion regarding the bid for Nanwu Prefecture, nor has he paid any fee to the Pavilion owner for this. If there are any rumors outside, the Pavilion owner must not get into trouble."

Gu Zuo suddenly became serious, thought for a moment, and asked, "Who is spreading these rumors?"

The boy shook his head and said, "My master has nothing more to say. I don't know how to answer the master's question."

Gu Zuo asked again: "In a few days, it will be... it will be the first anniversary of Gu's arrival in Montenegro. I would like to invite some friends to have a drink together. I wonder if Mr. Zhong Er is free?"

The young man said: "I will convey the invitation from the master of the hall to my master. Whether he can come or not is up to the master. But I think that my master has been very busy recently. Yesterday, Taoist Master Wu from Longquan Taoist Temple suddenly came to Heishan County, Nanwu.

The state bidding is about to begin. In the past few days, several Taoist priests have been wandering around our Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop and Mr. Da's profit bank, asking questions one by one. My master is busy receiving them, and most likely he will not be able to get away."

Gu Zuo's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could it be that Longquan Taoist Academy found out about his role as the second collaborator, so he came to investigate?

After sending the boy down the mountain, Gu Zuo thought carefully. Wu Shanjing came to Heishan County. The bidding in South Wuzhou was finally about to begin. He checked this matter before the bidding started. He didn't know if he was reporting it for others or on his own initiative after being heard by the Taoist Temple.

Lift.

I wanted to start from the accounting records, but actually I couldn't find anything. Since Mr. Zhong Er sent someone to remind him, I think Chunqiu Pawn Shop would not leave any evidence about the Thousand Guan Flying Ticket. The same is true here.

In this way, Huaixian Hall has not yet set up an accounting office, so it is obviously impossible to find paper evidence.

Therefore, their only way was to question them one by one, and Gu Zuo was not afraid either, because Mr. Zhong Er had actually come over for ventilation and clearly told Gu Zuo that he could not be shaken until he was bitten to death.

At Huaixian Pavilion, the only person who knew about it was the butcher, so Gu Zuo quickly invited the butcher over and informed him of the matter. The butcher felt very lucky: "Fortunately, you insisted on refining the elixir to pay off the debt. This step is really wise."

Gu Zuohou said fearfully: "I was also timid at the time, but I didn't expect that I was really prepared for a rainy day."

The butcher said: "Don't worry, if the Taoist priest of Longquan Taoist Temple really wants to go up the mountain to ask questions, I won't know about it. I only know that we sincerely want to bid for the spirit stone veins."

With the words of the butcher, Gu Zuo felt much more at ease. As long as the offensive and defensive alliances were decided in advance and no one accepted the blame, Longquan Taoist Temple had nothing to do about this kind of matter. Of course, at this time, Mr. Zhong Er could help the people around him.

The Chang Sui servant sent out to remind Gu Zuo also reflected from the side that the Taoist Temple may not be serious about this matter.
