Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

In September, Umbrella Company fully acquired Isis Pharmaceuticals for 930,000 pounds, and the reorganization was completed that month.

In mid-October, the animal experiments were approved, and the Medical Safety Committee issued a clinical trial permit.

At the same time, the standardized industrial production line of Baiyao in the cloud was built, and the first batch of 100 bottles of Baiyao was successfully filled in the trial operation, and the efficacy of industrial production was verified.

In late October, the provisional license was issued and the drug could be put on the market. Patrick immediately launched an overwhelming advertising campaign in almost all mainstream media such as The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and the BBC.

In early November, the first orders, totaling five thousand bottles, were delivered by several pharmacies who trusted Patrick.

That afternoon, 2,600 bottles of medicine were produced.

At the same time, raw materials were running out.

In the New Isis Pharmaceutical Factory, Patrick looked at the dozens of boxes of Cloud White Medicine in front of him and frowned.

"Do we have enough raw materials for so many potions?" he asked in disbelief.

Murphy was also a little embarrassed. He had already bought out the fresh produce in Diagon Alley, and even went there twice to replenish raw materials. However, he still far underestimated the huge productivity gap between industrial production and handicraft workshops.

He collected enough materials to supply Diagon Alley for one or two months. In the pharmaceutical factory, it was used up in two hours, and even the machinery and equipment were not operating at full capacity.

Compared with the Muggle world, the size of the wizarding world is still too insignificant.

"Can we get more ingredients?" Patrick asked.

"It can, but it will take time, and it may not be sustainable for the time being."

Murphy wondered whether he should consider searching in other countries and wizarding places.

"It turns out that the raw materials are so scarce, no wonder I have never seen such a powerful potion."

Patrick was open-minded and even felt relieved.

If not, he really couldn't understand why this medicine was not discovered by others, but came from the hands of a young man without professional pharmacy training - how could this make so many pharmaceutical researchers around the world feel embarrassed?

"We have to think about the raw material problem, but what matters now is how to complete the order."

Patrick pondered for a while and said, "Mix it with water."

Murphy was a little shocked, "Can you do this?"

Patrick nodded, "Just do it! Now each bottle of white medicine is 30 ml, but to treat ordinary small wounds, one or two drops of white medicine is enough. The 30 ml potion capacity is too wasteful."

He said, and the thoughts in his mind also opened up, "In fact, we have to mix water. An ordinary family has so many traumas. If a bottle of white medicine is enough to last for several years, how can we sell our medicine?"

"No, it's not enough to mix it with water. The effect of white medicine is too strong. It almost doesn't need to be used continuously. Then we can make it into disposable drops, disposable sprays, disposable band-aids, etc. We have to sell the medicine by 'drop' !”

Murphy thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense, but you and they have negotiated the price before. Our pricing is not cheap to begin with. Can we still sell it if we reduce the dosage of the medicine?"

As for whether this kind of profiteer behavior of reducing quantity without reducing price is unethical, Murphy has no such idea. He is mainly worried about sales.

"Only the content is written in the order. They don't know the proportion of the ingredients anyway. The medicines in this batch of orders are first made into bottles. Each bottle is enough for one or two treatments, and then some disposable medicines are given as gifts. .”

Patrick's thoughts became clearer as he spoke, "Let the pharmacist test it. Reserve 0.2 or 0.3 ml of the original solution in each bottle, and mix the rest with water or alcohol to see the effect."

"These raw materials must be expensive, right?" Patrick asked.

Murphy calculated that he had spent more than 100,000 pounds on gold, all of which was converted into galleons, and two-thirds of it was used to buy fresh gold.

Therefore, the cost of these fresh vegetables is close to 90,000 pounds.

But only more than two thousand bottles of potion were made.

The average cost of each bottle of medicine alone is about thirty-five pounds.

That is a cost of about 1.2 pounds per milliliter.

Using the more expensive medicines as a reference, they priced a bottle of Yunduanbaiyao at only 15 pounds.

Murphy had no idea how much potion his materials could produce before, but now that he calculated it this way, if he really sold the medicine according to the original amount, he would indeed lose money to his grandma's family.

But if you follow Patrick's method, each bottle of medicine only has 0.2-0.3 ml of original solution.

The cost of each bottle dropped directly to less than 0.4 pounds. Even if the price is as low as the most competitive 5 pounds, he still has more than ten times the profit margin.

Cleverly, this amount of medicine is completely sufficient.

Even to treat more serious wounds, only two to three drops of white essence are needed.

One drop of liquid medicine is approximately 0.05 ml.

0.2-0.3 ml of the original solution contains approximately 4 to 6 drops, which is enough to treat two serious traumas. Judging from its effectiveness, it is completely sufficient to meet the needs of ordinary families.

He roughly described the cost to Patrick, and then couldn't help but reach out and pat Patrick, "Patrick, you are a genius!"

The two discussed for a while the uses, positioning and selling prices of various disposable products.

“All single-use products must be individually packaged and presented beautifully, and the best content needs to have the best appearance in order to be recognized.”

"Finally, the most important thing is that each product must have our trademark printed on it at the appropriate location. The red and white umbrella-shaped logo you drew before, boss, is very recognizable and will definitely impress people. deep impression."

So why bother talking about it?

The tide of billions of corpses in the doomsday wasteland makes you understand the oppression of the Umbrella Company.

Thinking about the signs of umbrella companies all over the streets in the future, Murphy was already starting to worry.

Merlin's balls are almost frightened!

In short, do not touch virus research in the future under any circumstances!

However, Murphy is still very supportive of this proposal. Currently, Gang Leader Qiao's aesthetics have caused a trend in the business world, and Patrick is obviously a fan of Gang Leader Qiao.

And he does have many similar qualities to his idol.

After some discussion, Murphy no longer had any doubts about whether Cloud White Medicine could be accepted by the Muggle market.

He took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Patrick, "I wanted to give it to you yesterday. 5% of the shares, don't be too little. I can't even buy it for five million pounds."

But in Murphy's case, Patrick's role is actually much more useful than Jim's five million pounds.

Patrick took the equity certificate with a dull expression.

"Why, don't you think it's enough?"

Patrick shook his head, "I just did a mental calculation. Based on a conservative estimate of a profit margin of 15 times, this order alone can net us more than 70,000 pounds. And this kind of shipment is less than the demand in London." One in a thousand, and less than one in ten thousand in the UK as a whole, but judging from the effectiveness of Baiyao, it will definitely become popular around the world."

"This 5% will be worth hundreds of millions within a year, and it will continue to rise. How can I feel that it is not enough?"

"It's just that compared to the honor of bringing such a product to the world with my own hands, billions of pounds seem to be nothing."

Murphy was a little surprised, "I didn't expect you to be an idealist."

But this is not a special surprise. If Patrick didn't have such an idealistic temperament, he wouldn't have been recruited by a young boy like himself.

"Haha, I think we will leave a name in history!" Patrick's eyes sparkled.

For such a middle-aged bald man, Murphy suddenly found him a little cute.

He smiled and said, "Since what you want is honor and money is nothing to you, then return the shares to me."

Patrick's face froze, and he quickly took back the equity certificates.

"I made a mistake just now. All honors belong to the umbrella and to you, the boss. I just took a ride. What kind of honor is that?"

Honor is honor, but you still have to eat.

Murphy was happy, "Don't worry, no one can take away these 5% from you. Moreover, in the future, we will not only have one product, Yunduanbaiyao. You probably still underestimated the value of this equity."

Patrick suddenly thought of the notebook he took out when he told Murphy about the experimental steps of Baiyao.

Baiyao was just a page from the note that Murphy tore out casually.

Maybe Murphy has one or two other Baiyao-level drugs in his hands? Or even three or four? Or is it more?

"Huh." Patrick finally suppressed the wild thoughts in his heart.

He solemnly put the voucher into his backpack, thinking about framing it later.

"Thank you for your generosity." Patrick's expression was much more serious this time.

Murphy smiled and said, "All glory goes to the umbrella."

Patrick stared at Murphy with that uncomfortable gaze, "All glory goes to the boss!"
