Chapter 13

"What does that mean?"

Claire doesn't understand. Does it mean to drink another bottle after drinking?

"If you buy a coke and find this sentence after opening the bottle cap, you can find a merchant to get another bottle of coke for free, just like the lucky draw. Of course, the cost of this free bottle of coke is borne by us."

Lainer explained that this method can be said to be the most primitive case of virus marketing. He still remembers the envy of others when they opened another bottle when he was a child, and the surprise of getting another bottle. He believes that this method is also applicable in this world.

People's word of mouth is the best advertisement. This novel marketing method is unprecedented in the world. At least in the early stage of sales, Lena can rely on it for good publicity.

At Lena's words, Antoine was stunned, and then fell into a deep shock.

In this era, let alone subsidized promotion, manufacturers are nothing at all and will never give profits to dealers or consumers. Lena's scheme completely breaks the Convention.

"Not all cokes can get another bottle. Only about 5% to 10% of cokes will print this sentence. In other words, our profit is estimated to be reduced by 10%, which is still acceptable."

The production cost of coke is very low. According to the regular price, even if 50% profit is removed, it is more than enough. Especially for small alchemists like Antoine, I'm afraid the cost of bottles is higher than coke itself.

Lena continued to explain to allay Antoine's doubts.

"The words on the bottle cap can be used to verify the anti-counterfeiting magic. The cost of this magic applied to the personal signature is very cheap. For those who don't win the prize, the words like" thank you for your patronage "will be written on the bottle cap. We sell coke and recycle the bottle cap and bottle, which can reduce the cost to the greatest extent."

There is no doubt that his proposal is quite attractive, but Antoine is still hesitating.

Just then, the door of the alchemy workshop was knocked.

The knock was rough and quick, which made people feel bored. In a moment, the expression on Antoine's face changed, and it became the cold and severe appearance at first.

"Just a moment."

Antoine said, seizing a stick in the corner and slowly opening the door.

"Antoine, I repeat, it's Lord Piram who wants to make this price on the relationship with you as a classmate. Don't be too proud."

Over Antoine's shoulder, Lena saw that the other party was a tall and thin man, wearing that kind of high society disdainful pompous dress, with unilateral glasses and high hat, was aggressive to Antoine.

Behind the man, there were a few big men with the appearance of thugs, who looked unkind.

"I'll say it again. I'm not going to sell the alchemistry."

Antoine also hit back, raised his stick and made the man step back. The bodyguard behind him hesitated for a moment, then moved forward slightly to protect the man.

"If you think about it carefully, this street has been in decline for a long time. Even if you stay here, you can't make much money any more. It's better to join Lord Piram. With your skills, you can probably get a good job."

The man rubbed his hands to persuade him to look like a dog.

"His name is Sanderson. He used to be a gangster in the town. Later, he was recruited by Piram and became a member of his staff. As for Piram, I vaguely remember that he was the boss of a large chamber of Commerce nearby. It seemed that he wanted to take over crescent college before, but he was robbed by someone."

Claire explained to Lena in a low voice that, of course, he did not forget to bury the headmaster in the end.

"It looks like you hate that side more."

Lena joked, making Claire stare at him.

Instead of teasing Claire, Lena went to the door and said aloud.

"Please wait a moment, my friend. Now Mr. Antoine is negotiating with us about cooperation. I think you should come back at another time."

Lena's unexpected behavior brought the dialogue to a sudden stop, and also made Sanderson notice that he and Claire.

"Well, maid?"

When Sanderson saw Claire dressed, he didn't recognize her for a moment. Instead, he thought that Lena was a great nobleman from where he would carry such a traditional maid.

"I'm the president of crescent college, Lena Ian gray. Mr. Antoine is our partner. Please don't embarrass him any more."

Reiner said that the appearance of righteous words made Sanderson retreat, and hearing Reiner's name, the little gangster was even more flustered.

Looking at the whole continent, who doesn't know the name of Ian Gray's family? This business empire, which monopolized many industries, has become a symbol of this glorious era to some extent.

Sanderson did hear that Ian Gray's third son came to new moon college. He had a unique temperament and didn't look like a fake.

But what on earth did Antoine rely on to hook up with Ian Gray's family?Sanderson's years of experience as a gangster made his head spin fast. He soon recovered from shock and turned into a dogleg mode, he said.

"It turned out to be the adults of the Ian gray family. Lord Piram has always been taken care of by the Ian gray family. After hearing that you have come to crescent college, I hope to invite you to visit me."

After thinking about it, it seemed that there was such a thing, but at that time, Lena was so proud that he didn't even bother to make friends with such kind of country bumpkin, and made each other hot and cold.

"I'll talk about it later. I've decided to invest in Antoine's Alchemy workshop, so if you have any acquisition plan, I suggest you hire someone else."

Hearing Lena's words, Sanderson was stunned and began to speak with a little doubt.

"I'm not questioning your decision, but I think our pilam smelter can provide better service. Why do you want such a person?"

Sanderson's words made Antoine silent, and also made Claire look at Lena with some worry. After all, from the perspective of businessmen, both the equipment and channels of Piram's Alchemy workshop are far better than Antoine's, so it is more reasonable to choose the strong to cooperate with him with the thinking of pursuing profits.

It's hard to say if Lena will suddenly change his mind and cooperate with pilam's Alchemy workshop.

"No, Antoine's Alchemy workshop is very good. I think it's no less than Piram's. In fact, I chose this one after inspecting seven alchemy workshops in the surrounding area."

Lena's words surprised all three.

Antoine looked at the young principal and didn't know what he believed in himself.

Claire opened her eyes slightly. Lena's action was unexpected. She felt that she could not understand what was going on in the man's mind.

Sanderson had an embarrassed smile on his face. He knew that Lena didn't look up to Piram's Alchemy workshop, but his straightforward words made Sanderson not know how to answer, so he could only smile.

"Well, what Lord Ian Gray said is, we won't disturb you."
