The words yesterday were just idle chatter without discussing the real issues. Today, however, they were going to formally discuss purchasing elixirs.
Qin Ran and Elder Sun walked side by side. As they walked, he suddenly sighed, "Now that Feiyan is gone, it really feels unfamiliar."
"Yeah, such a pretty girl," Elder Sun followed along.
Elder Sun knew that Feng Feiyan was the one killed by Qin Ran. So Qin Ran was just making up his "unfamiliar" feelings. He knew that Qin Ran was just bringing it up for fun. What really mattered were the words he was about to say next.
"In the past, the purchasing lists and accounts were done by Feiyan. Now I have to do them myself..." said Qin Ran. "Only by getting my hands on it myself did I realize the difficulties involved."
Although he knew that with this kind of occasion, not even half a word from this kind of person like Qin Ran could be believed, when Elder Sun heard Qin Ran say this, he still felt a little happy inside. Because knowing that accounting was difficult meant that Qin Ran might not be good at these things, which also meant that there would still be room for maneuvering afterwards...
"This matter is indeed difficult..." Elder Sun nodded, but he still pretended to ask Qin Ran, "But don't you have this Yan Yi friend? Doesn't he know either?"
"Alas!" Qin Ran shook his head and sighed, "Don't mention him, he understands even less than me, he has to learn everything from scratch."
Hearing this, Yan Yi bowed his head in shame.
Elder Sun was delighted and laughed, "It's difficult, but you can still get the hang of it slowly. Fortunately, since you guys come to us for procurement, our two families have been on good terms for hundreds of years, and there are precedents that won't shortchange you. The accounts will also be easy to do."
"I naturally trust Elder Sun," Qin Ran nodded. But then he wrinkled his eyebrows, "But some things are really tricky. As a novice, I always make mistakes. For example, some medicines have four or even twelve different price ranges depending on the season of maturity, which is different in each of the four seasons. This will lead to different prices for elixirs of the same quality. I just can't handle it."
Hearing this, Elder Sun slowly figured out that Qin Ran was not an easy character to deal with after all.
Without saying more, just take this heavenly heart grass that he mentioned. In hundreds of years of supplying elixirs to the Dao Sword Sect, there has never been a mention of any elixir having four price ranges in a year... Qin Ran had hidden daggers in his words.
Whether in winter or summer, the price at which the Dao Sword Sect buys inferior Barrier Breaking Pills from Zhican Valley has always been two hundred spirit stones, and hasn't changed for many years. If there were summer and winter price differences, how much would they have lost?
"Don't panic, young one..." Qin Ran said with a laugh to reassure him, "I'm just stating some facts based on market research."
Hmm, young one. Elder Sun's disciple was at least over a hundred years old.
"Elder Sun, look, there's also this Ice Mountain Snow Lotus..."
Qin Ran was about to introduce Elder Sun to more medicinal materials that had different prices in winter and summer, or that had fallen in price recently for various reasons, but Elder Sun suddenly reached out and pressed down on his account book.
Elder Sun's face was extremely ugly, because if Qin Ran kept talking like this, he would lose over a million spirit stones this time.
There were red veins in his eyes as he stared at Qin Ran and said, "Name your discount."
"We still follow the standard pricing," Qin Ran replied, pretending not to understand.
"Twenty percent off!" Elder Sun gritted his teeth.
"Elder Sun, you look like a molted blood python skin..."
"Forty percent off!"
Qin Ran collected the account books and nodded, "Deal."
In fact, he didn't dare push too hard either. After all, Zhican Valley had a monopoly on elixirs here. If he really provoked them, they could just stop selling elixirs to him and leave him dumbfounded. It was wise to quit while he was ahead.
Moreover... he knew well the threshold principle of making requests. Since he could get a 40% discount this time, next time he could aim for 50%, and the time after that, everything would be priced according to standard market rules...
"Phew!" Elder Sun let out of a sigh of relief.
