Lin Yi pawed through the other bags before saying, âSome of them have been on the shelves a bit too long, but everythingâs authentic.â
âGood, thatâs good!â Fatty Lai was afraid that everything he brought to Lin Yi might be fake. All was good as long as they were genuine. âThen please choose the good ones, Miracle Doctor Lin!â
âOkay. Grandpa Guan, do you have a medicine brewing kettle here?â Lin Yi asked.
âI do. Iâll have Aunt Liu bring it over.â Xuemin was a famed doctor in the medical field. He wouldnât be short of a basic Eastern medicinal tool like a brewing kettle.
âThen⦠do I have to leave?â Fatty Lai was a conscientious man. He understood that it might be taboo to watch Lin Yi brew medicine, so itâd be better for him to back off instead of trouble him.
âItâs fine, sit. Thereâs a couple of things about starting a company that Iâd like to learn from you!â Lin YI gestured for Fatty Lai to sit.
âLearn from me?â Fatty Lai felt overwhelmed by the statement. He quickly waved his fat hands in front of him. âNo, no. Such words! Itâll just be some of my opinions, but donât worry, Iâll tell you everything I know! I wonât hide anything! Itâs my honor that youâre letting me speak, Miracle Doctor Lin!â
Aunt Liu got the items ready for Lin Yi very quickly. He swiftly picked a couple of the fresher reagents and put them into the brewing kettle. It seemed like heâd made some random choices, but the amount he picked up had been quickly and meticulously calculated.
Fatty Lai watched in wonder, but felt that this wasnât much. He was aware that Lin Yiâs medical prowess was far beyond that of small flourishes. This was nothing compared to the other things he was capable of.
Even Xuemin was a little taken aback by Lin Yiâs speed. It didnât seem like he was even looking at the reagents, and the initial process was completed in just a momentâs notice.
âFatty Lai, Iâm planning to have two types of medicine listed for the initial stage of the company. Oneâs a painkiller without any side effects, and the other oneâs a medicine for injuries. How do you think I should advertise them after getting them listed?â Lin Yi asked.
âMiracle Doctor Lin, the injury medicine, does it have effects similar to the Golden Creation Medicine Miracle Doctor Kang has?â Fatty Laiâs face looked smart all of a sudden, talking business, the crybaby and wuss image completely wiped away.
âItâs similar. Iâve never seen the Golden Creation Medicine before, but my injury medicine does heal wounds quickly as well, without leaving scars.â Lin Yi nodded.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThen itâs likely very similar!â Fatty Lai said after a sigh. âMy suggestion is to have this injury medicine listed first to gain it popularity!â
âOh? Can you elaborate?â Lin Yi and Xuemin had planned to promote the two medicines together, but Fatty Lai was suggesting a different route.
âHeh, if we only put out one medicine with similar effects to the most famous Golden Creation Medicine out on the market, everybodyâs going to compare the two products,â Fatty Lai said. âAt first thereâll be doubt, but if they realize that the medicine has the same effects as Miracle Doctor Kangâs, theyâll start leaning towards us!
âNaturally, thereâs two prerequisites. First, weâll need to set the price lower than theirs, and weâll need to have an ample supply. According to what I know, Miracle Doctor Kangâs Golden Creation Medicine has a low supply, and since they give priority to some special organizations and the military, normal people donât get to buy much at all! If they donât have access to Golden Creation, theyâll definitely choose us.
âAlso, if our product is obviously better than theirs, we wonât have to lower the price. If we canât increase the production rate of the medicine, however, then itâll be the same â the medicines will still be low in stock, and it doesnât matter if weâre fighting them for the market share.â
Fatty Lai wiped his brow and exhaled after speaking that last line.
Lin Yi and Xuemin blinked, not expecting that from Fatty Lai. The guy was pretty good. He wasnât just a crybaby after all.
âThen, the painkillerâ¦â Lin Yi said modestly, inexperienced in the business field and all.
âAfter the uproar we cause with the injury medicine, it shouldnât be a problem for the painkiller to do well!â Fatty Lai said. âAfter the consumers accept our first listed product, we donât even need to promote the second one! Although, we could host a launch conference for it.â
âI see!â Lin Yi nodded, enlightened. âThen do we still do the auction I was thinking about? I wanted to auction off a couple Pills of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing, butâ¦â
Lin Yi hesitated. He wasnât too close with Fatty Lai, so he couldn't just let him know how insanely easy it was to make that pill. If he made Fatty Lai feel like heâd paid an entire skyscraper for half a jellybean, Lin Yi was sure he wouldnât be pleased. Even though heâd offered the building, Lin Yi still didnât want Fatty Lai pissed off at him.
So he lied, âBut the pillâs really hard to make, and a lot of the reagent providers have stopped production, too. Itâs a limited number, so we canât mass produce it. Would it seem like the pill isnât associated with the company if we do the auction?â
âNo, not at all! Itâs a nice gimmick!â Fatty Lai waved his hands, thinking to himself that his decision to scoop out the pill from the dog poop was a genius one. Lin Yi probably didnât have a lot of them anymore. This was what a priceless treasure was! The Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing must be an insane rarity.
âI thought of it as a gimmick too, but I feel like youâre saying that it doesnât really do much?â Lin Yi asked.
âHow so?â Fatty Lai waved his hands. âWe can tell the public that the Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing is a limited edition medicine because of its low synthesis success rate, plus the rarity of its reagentsâ¦. Yes, we might as well say that itâs an ultimate medicine from the master providing us with our recipes! The rarer something is, the more expensive, right? With this Pill of Life Extension and Toxin Cleansing as an opener, its effects would definitely make the process with the injury medicine that much smoother!â
Lin Yi nodded. He liked Fatty Laiâs ideas. âDo you know where we can hire a manager to handle the company?â
âUhâ¦â Fatty Laiâs eyes lit up with excitement and anticipation, along with the reddening of his face. âWhat do you think about me?â
âYou?â Li Yi had to pause a bit before understanding what Fatty Lai was saying. âYouâre saying you wanna be the manager?â
âYeah, what do you think? Iâve been fighting in the business industry for more than ten years! I have experience!â Fatty Lai said as he thumped his chest.
âBut your trading and real estate companiesâ¦â Lin Yi looked at Fatty Lai in confusion.
âThe trading company will be used for medicine promotion from now on, and the real estate one will be for our chain companies!â Fatty Lai said with a wave of his hand. âI built and founded these two companies myself. I have full authority!â
