Chapter Summary
The subordinates checked the warehouse, and even with such a large trading group, they only had 400 kilograms of A-grade nutrient solution. Use our connections to buy it back, even if the price is a bit higher, we must gather 500 kilograms today.” The subordinates didn't know what to say about Zhou Tao's order. Don’t worry about the price for now.” Seeing that his subordinates were still not moving, Zhou Tao naturally understood what they were thinking.
“Ah…”
In a corner by the main road, a mentally ill man shouted. This man was none other than Liu Ning.
Liu Ning found it incredibly hard to believe. He had just immersed his hands, and it took about three minutes, but what did the progress bar show? It had only moved one percent.
Liu Ning had hoped to soak a little longer, but the nutrient solution had already turned clear, indicating that it had little effect left. As Liu Ning expected, the progress bar didn't move at all.
No wonder Liu Ning shouted. He felt he might have been scammed by the system. Five kilograms of A-grade nutrient solution were worth over 300 million, but what did 300 million get him? Only one percent.
If calculated this way, it would require at least 30 billion. Yesterday, he felt like a rich man, likely to enter the top ten wealthiest people in the city, but if he were to complete this progress bar, half of Liu Ning's fortune would be gone.
At this moment, Liu Ning truly wanted to strangle the system. Before, it directly demanded money, which at least had a clear amount. Now, it had given him such a progress bar.
Liu Ning remembered playing online games where the experience gained from killing a monster at a low level was completely different from killing one at a high level. So, if the system worked like this, then how much nutrient solution would be needed later was an unknown.
Fortunately, there weren't many people around. If there were, everyone would want to come and see what the mentally ill man looked like.
After about two minutes, Liu Ning calmed down. He looked at the glass container next to him. The contents were similar to water, though still slightly viscous, but Liu Ning knew that it had no effect on him anymore.
He still needed to continue acquiring A-grade nutrient solution.
It wasn't that he lacked money; it was simply too difficult to obtain this stuff. Although it was sold everywhere, each place at most had a few kilograms. The pharmacy Liu Ning just went to was already quite well-decorated, with three floors and a business area of at least 3,000 square meters. Even such a pharmacy could only provide him with 5 kilograms, let alone other places.
Liu Ning opened his smart device at this time. The only one who could supply him with a large amount of nutrient solution in a short period was probably Zhou Tao. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't have this capability.
Although nutrient solutions belong to a type of medicine, Baicaotang is not specialized in this. Baicaotang sells other types of medicinal agents, which are formulated by pharmacists, not something that can be mass-produced, because the profit for such items is too low.
For example, the A-grade nutrient solution just used. Its price is 64 million, but the materials themselves are not cheap. The price of one kilogram of material is about 52 million, and there are various losses in between. So, the cost of one kilogram of A-grade nutrient solution is around 56 million. Even if the profit is controlled very well, it's less than 10 million per kilogram. Would pharmacists even care about this profit? You might as well kill them.
The call quickly connected. Zhou Tao agreed immediately when he heard Liu Ning wanted to buy nutrient solution. For their trading group, they had plenty of this stuff. As long as you had money, they could get you hundreds of kilograms; it wasn't difficult.
“Pfft…”
When Liu Ning stated his request, he clearly heard a sound from Zhou Tao’s end of the phone. Zhou Tao must have spit out the water in his mouth, and it seemed to have landed on a lady, as a woman’s scream came through the smart device.
“Liu… Brother Liu, are you sure? You want 500 kilograms of A-grade nutrient solution?”
Zhou Tao was no longer an ordinary person. He was now the president of the trading group in this city. In other words, Zhou Tao's status was actually the same as Miss Bai from Baicaotang; both were general managers of branch companies. The general managers of the eight major group's branch companies were already top-tier individuals in this city, but Zhou Tao was still stuttering, startled by Liu Ning.
“Look at what you’re saying. Am I joking with you? You heard correctly, I want to buy 500 kilograms of A-grade nutrient solution. Hurry up and find a way to get it for me. It’s okay if the price is a little higher.”
Liu Ning hung up after speaking.
Zhou Tao hadn't hung up yet. Listening to the dial tone in his ear, Zhou Tao checked the incoming call number again. It was definitely Liu Ning; it couldn't be anyone else. He recognized Liu Ning's voice.
According to Zhou Tao's understanding, ordinary people, if they were to immerse themselves in nutrient solution, wouldn't use A-grade nutrient solution. The most stored in their warehouse was B-grade nutrient solution. Even general-level powerhouses would never use A-grade nutrient solution because its price was too expensive. Most people buying 20 kilograms would already be considered a big customer, but Liu Ning wanted to buy 500 kilograms, which was truly unbelievable.
No matter what Liu Ning wanted to do, Zhou Tao dared not neglect it. He quickly called his assistant and had his subordinates prepare. The subordinates checked the warehouse, and even with such a large trading group, they only had 400 kilograms of A-grade nutrient solution.
“Then go out and acquire it immediately. Use our connections to buy it back, even if the price is a bit higher, we must gather 500 kilograms today.”
The subordinates didn't know what to say about Zhou Tao's order. Although their group was a trading company, doing this was clearly a loss. Their group had its own production factory, so couldn't they wait a month? They would have 500 kilograms of A-grade nutrient solution next month. There was no need to buy from outsiders. Their group's cost could be controlled at around 55 million, but if they bought from outside, the cost would rise to 60 million.
“Don’t just stand there. I know what I’m doing. Do as I say and acquire it as quickly as possible. Don’t worry about the price for now.”
Seeing that his subordinates were still not moving, Zhou Tao naturally understood what they were thinking. He wasn't stupid...
