Chapter 985: Chapter 610, 1000000 Orders_2
Kenneth nodded, not feeling too surprised.
“Ordering potions isn’t a big deal. I’ll arrange for someone to take you to the front yard to handle it,” Kenneth said softly, stroking his beard.
“I was wondering if there could be a discount for a large order.”
As they talked, the door opened again.
An attendant brought two cups of hot tea to them.
“Oh? How much is a ‘large amount’?” Kenneth asked as he picked up his cup and blew on it.
...
There were plenty of City Lords who came to order potions.
But alchemical potions were still luxury items, costing dozens to hundreds of Warfire Coins per bottle, not something ordinary people could afford.
Thus, a city’s purchase would only suffice for some family members or the local nobility.
Orders of two to three hundred bottles were already considered large customers.
The Alchemist Association mainly sold its potions through the Trade Alliance.
Besides, what purchasing power could a fringe city like Lyss City have?
“Since the order covers a variety of products, it’s difficult to give an exact number, but after discussing with Rebecca, we’re prepared to start with a purchase of one million Warfire Coins’ worth of potions…”

Puh!!
Fang Hao had only said half of it when Kenneth spouted his tea out.
One million Warfire Coins?
Was he planning to distribute potions like water to the residents of Lyss City?
Kenneth coughed twice and asked, “Are you joking?”
“No, why? Does the Chairman have any difficulties?” Fang Hao asked earnestly.
Fang Hao indeed intended to purchase that many potions.
Humans’ potions were effective for other species of living creatures as well.
However, there was no way for the orcs and trolls within his territory to obtain human potions.
Now, his territory was planning to set up an internal trade network, allowing the special products of all species to circulate, and he also intended to sell potions to the orcs, trolls, as well as transmigrators.
It was a surefire moneymaker that would enhance the variety and prestige of items.
Moreover, in his territory, many orcs were stuck at the eighth or ninth rank, and he planned to utilize potions to push these people up in rank, turning them all into heroes.
“Cough, cough!! I don’t have any difficulties, but can Lyss City really use that many potions?” Kenneth remarked while wiping the droplets from his beard.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and gave an explanation, “You don’t have to worry about the use, Kenneth. Moreover, one million is just the initial investment. We will also decide whether to increase the order amount based on the effects, and we will continue to make purchases every year.”
Kenneth still frowned, giving Fang Hao a strange look.
He reminded him, “City Lord Fang Hao, the association does not allow credit purchases.”
“Oh, money isn’t a problem,” Fang Hao said and pulled out stack after stack of Warfire Cards with large amounts from his chest.
Goodness, even Kenneth was stunned.
Carrying so much money with him?
Now Kenneth also believed that Lyss City indeed had the financial strength.
As a commercial entity, naturally, Kenneth would not refuse a client with strong financial power seeking cooperation.
After all, in the Trade Alliance, there were no shortage of alchemist institutions.
“Haha, good. Then, Lord City Lord, give me your order and I’ll arrange for staff to prioritize the preparation for you. Whatever potions we lack, we’ll arrange for production,” Kenneth said with pleasure.
“No rush. How much discount can you give me? As you know, I have to report back to Rebecca,” said Fang Hao with a helpless expression.
Owen pondered for a moment and replied, “How about a discount of 20%? That’s already the discount that the major families can get.”
The concept of percentage discounts was also something introduced by transmigrators.
Chinatown in Silver Wing City developed rapidly and became a famous commercial street in the city.
All sorts of peculiar words and sales methods also spread throughout the city.
Discounts, card issues, grand commercial rewards.
The original inhabitants were stunned, never having seen such things before.
“I’ll get more than that if I go to the Trade Alliance.”
“Oh? So, City Lord, what do you think would be a fairer price?” Kenneth continued to ask.
“Fifty percent off!”
“City Lord, you really have a sense of humor. That price is too low; let’s say 30% off, no less,” Kenneth said after some thought.
“Fifty percent…”
After calculating again, Kenneth said, “We can only do 30% off. If you’re buying magic power or life potions, we can further give you a discount up to 40%. You won’t be able to find any lower than 30% even if you go to the Trade Alliance.”
Seeing Kenneth insist, Fang Hao knew he couldn’t push any further.
Pretending to think it over, he said, “That’s not out of the question, but I need one more condition.”
“Oh? Please, speak!”
“You must have heard about Lyss City’s attempt to enter the Upper Council, Kenneth. At the council, I hope the Alchemists’ Association can support us,” Fang Hao expressed his second objective.
This request did not surprise Kenneth at all.
In fact, he had guessed this purpose might come up when he arrived.
But now Fang Hao was a major client of the Alchemist Association, and Kenneth wasn’t able to disrupt their relationship.
After a moment of contemplation, he replied, “That’s possible. I’ll pass on the word. When can you place the order for the potions?”
Fang Hao also showed a smile, “Within three days, I’ll have someone send over the order and a portion of the prepayment, and then you can start preparing the goods.”
Kenneth nodded, indicating his agreement.
Three days, before the council meeting, there wouldn’t be any worry that Fang Hao was trying to deceive him.
