Chapter 1145 Making and Selling Wine: A Highly Profitable Business!

“That’s a good name. Use it!”

He Gaoming’s eyes gleamed brightly and he said, “It sounds awesome. Since we want to do this business with the oldest, we’re going to make the world’s greatest and most expensive wine!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This was the best they could do.

After all, most of their time was spent practicing martial arts, and few of them knew how to play around with words, so it was normal that the names they gave for the medicated liquor failed to meet John Doe’s expectations.

“Master.”

Seeing that everyone agreed, He Gaoming immediately asked, “What is the maximum output of the medicated liquor?”

“Since we’ve confirmed its value, its production is not a problem.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “However, I don’t have time to carry out this plan with you. You’ll have to make the medicated liquor and sell it by yourselves.”

“No problem.”

He Gaoming immediately struck his chest confidently and promised, “The medicated liquor is a good thing. It can make money and improve our strength. No matter how hard and exhausting it is, we’ll be happy to do it.”

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and said, “As for the fermented wine used as a base to produce the medicated liquor, you can choose by yourself. Keep in mind that you should buy only high-quality fermented wine to ensure the quality of our products. In addition, you can get the herbs from Fang Qiu. The herbs from his cultivation base contain the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Fang Qiu is even providing medicinal herbs for the Renyi Group. I’ve already met and talked with him, so you can go and discuss it with him directly.”

“Alright. I know Fang Qiu well.”

He Gaoming immediately said with a smile, “Anyway, he is my old friend. It’s convenient for us to do business together.”

“Well, go ahead and continue to consolidate your strength and realm.”

Fang Qiu nodded, turned around, and said to He Gaoming, “Get ready to come up with a business proposal.”

“Yes.”

He Gaoming immediately nodded in agreement.

After that, he left the forest and quietly returned to school.

Once again, he came back as Fang Qiu. To prevent himself from causing a disturbance, Fang Qiu kept his head down and wore a mask and a hat. Apart from that, he also avoided making any eye contact. It was not easy for him to go around unnoticed.

As soon as John Doe left, He Gaoming immediately called Fang Qiu.

“Hello?”

The phone was connected.

“Where are you?”

He Gaoming did not beat around the bush and spoke immediately about their business. “My master has talked to you about the business. Is it okay?”

“No problem.”

Fang Qiu answered.

“But that’s not right. If you only give me a small portion at that time, won’t I suffer a great loss? Tell me, how many medicinal herbs can you provide for us?” He Gaoming asked.

“I’ll supply you as much as you want.”

Fang Qiu smiled.

He was still waiting for his business proposal, but he didn’t expect that He Gaoming had already gotten down to details.

However, on second thought, Fang Qiu believed He Gaoming did have the potential to be a successful businessman.

His affairs had always centered around money. There would be no problem for him to handle the buying and selling of medicated liquors.

“That’s a deal. You have enough herbs for us!”

On hearing this, He Gaoming immediately got keyed up.

“Then, what’s the supply price of your medicinal herbs?”

He Gaoming brought up another question.

“Your master praised the remarkable effect of my herbs in our talks. Several hundred kilograms of medical liquor can be produced with only one catty of each of the three kinds of herbs. Therefore, the amount of medicinal herbs you’ll need is not too much for me,” Fang Qiu explained earnestly.

It was true!

It was not that better-made medicated wine required more medicinal herbs. Fang Qiu brewed the first bucket of wine, which they had just finished, according to a certain proportion of herbs and fermented wine.

Fang Qiu mentioned the proportion and the price in passing.

“So cheap?”

After hearing this, He Gaoming calculated the profits in his heart. If they sold the wine at the price of 5,000 yuan per jar, as John Doe had suggested, they could earn at least 4,500 yuan per jar.

It was nine times the original investment! What a highly profitable business!

That night, He Gaoming stayed up late and completed the business plan.

Early the next day, He Gaoming called John Doe at the detective agency.

“Master, the proposal is done. Why don’t you come and have a look?”

“Good.”

Fang Qiu agreed, then changed into John Doe’s clothes and went over to the detective agency.

“Master, here you are.”

As soon as John Doe came in, He Gaoming presented his plan.

“Hum?”

Fang Qiu took it. After glancing through it, he asked, “How come I have a share too?”

“You came up with this idea and the way to make the wine, so you should get a share.”

He Gaoming replied.

“I don’t want any.”

Fang Qiu refused with a shake of the head and said, “The business is your bread and butter. I won’t take any share of it.”

“You are the oldest. How can you not have any shares?”

He Gaoming immediately shook his head in disapproval and said, “Besides, we brothers made this decision together. We were afraid you might think 40% of the shares is too little.”

“That’s right. You must take 40% of the shares.”

“If it hadn’t been for you, we wouldn’t have been able to get this project. You deserve the shares. Frankly, all the shares should be yours. If you don’t take the 40% of the shares, we will quit.”

“Yes, we’ll quit if you don’t take it!”

They all clamored for his agreement, expecting Fang Qiu to accept 40% of the shares.

“No, thanks.”

Fang Qiu shook his head again and said, “I’ve been called the oldest by all of you. Then, if I say no, I mean it. This business is a new way to make a living which I found for you. If I had planned to make money from it, I would have done it myself long ago. Therefore, receiving 40% of the shares has never crossed my mind. Please stop trying to press it on me. I won’t take any of the shares!”

Hearing his firm refusal, everyone had no choice but to give in with wry smiles.

Since the oldest John Doe had made the decision, they knew he wouldn’t take the shares, no matter what.

However, if John Doe got nothing, they would feel very uneasy.

Nowadays, were there any other bosses who would work for their followers and make money for them?

Thus, John Doe’s decision didn’t make any sense!

They were about to go on persuading him to accept it.

But before they could say anything, Fang Qiu’s glare silenced them all.

“Well, let’s do it this way.”

He Gaoming thought for a moment and said, “Since the oldest doesn’t want the 40% of the shares, let’s keep it as our reserve fund. Also, as followers, we can’t take everything when the oldest does not take any shares. Each of us will get one percent, and the remaining 70% of the profit will be kept as the development fund!”

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement.

“Guys, one percent of the profit is not a small sum. As the oldest has suggested, we’ll sell the medicated wine at 5,000 yuan per catty. Do you know how much we can earn from one catty of wine?”

He Gaoming asked with a mysterious smile.

“How much?”

“No matter what, we can earn hundreds of yuan, right?”

“Our superior wine can certainly make money for us, but I haven’t thought about how much exactly we can make.”

Someone asked, and all the others were eager to know the answer.

“One catty of wine brings us 4,500 yuan!” He Gaoming told them.

The figure made all the brothers present go numb with shock.

None of them had thought that a catty of wine could make so much money!

By selling one jar at 5,000 yuan, they could earn 4,500 yuan. Then with the 4,500 yuan that they earned, they could make ten more jars of the wine. After selling the ten jars, they could get the money to make one hundred jars, and so on.

With the superior quality of this wine, the people from Wulin would definitely vie to get it.

In this way…

They would earn stacks of money!

Even Fang Qiu was astonished, let alone the other brothers.

He had never carefully calculated the costs and earnings. Now, after figuring out how much money they could get, he once again learned that the medicated wine industry was indeed one that could rake in colossal profits.

The tonic wine was one of the fast-moving consumer goods that did not cause the producers any pressure when it came to the cost.

The wine was ready-made. He Gaoming and the others didn’t need to brew it themselves and could simply buy the best white spirit as a solvent to absorb the herbs’ active constituents. Better still, the herbs were also end products from Fang Qiu.

What they needed to do was to mix the wine and the herbs and then wait.

The most critical thing was that, as Fang Qiu had said, producing medicated wine needed only a small number of herbs. Thus, a set of three kinds of medicinal herbs could make far more medicinal liquor than they had expected.

Given all of that, the manufacturing cost could be further reduced.

“We can make a profit of 4,500 yuan from one jar. There are several hundred thousand of Wulin people. When they learn about the amazing effects of our wine, every one of them will want to buy a jar to try. Even the poorest in Wulin can afford to buy one jar, right?”

“If each of the several hundred thousand Wulin people pays us 5,000 yuan, we can get a total of several billion yuan!”

“Even if everyone obtains merely one percent of the profit, we will all become multimillionaires!”

One of them who was better at doing the math tried to figure out how much he could earn in the future.

Hearing this, they suddenly felt breathless.

Absolutely!

John Doe made the wine for commercial use. But if the wine was sold by others, they would be very willing to buy a jar to try, no matter how poor they were. Frankly speaking, even if one jar costs over 8,000 or 10,000 yuan, they would not hesitate to buy one, let alone for 5,000 yuan.

Therefore, everyone believed that when the wine’s effect was publicized, and all Wulin people knew about it, they wouldn’t have to worry about its sales. Instead, they should be concerned about how to produce a sufficient amount of wine to meet the supply!

Right after listening to the analysis, everyone turned to look at John Doe.

Before this, John Doe didn’t know how lucrative the business of medicinal wine was, so the others didn’t regard it as a big matter when John Doe refused his shares. But could John Doe resist the temptation this time after learning they could gain such colossal profits from this business?

His 40% of the shares would be worth more than one billion yuan!

“Why are you staring at me like that?”

Fang Qiu rolled his eyes at everyone and shook his head again. “No matter how much money you make, you’ve earned it yourselves. Even if there are tens of billions of yuan, I won’t take any!”

Everyone was greatly astonished.

John Doe could get tens of billions of yuan without lifting a finger, but he appeared unimpressed. He never failed to astound everyone!

Unlike John Doe, the others could barely breathe steadily when they learned that they could get the 1% profit worth tens of millions of yuan, but John Doe didn’t care at all about his dividend of more than one billion yuan.

There was such a tremendous gap between their spiritual realms.

And it was a huge one.

Everyone thought about it carefully.

That was right.

For an omnipotent leader like John Doe, what was the use of money?

Whenever he was short of money, he could get as much as he needed with great ease.

“That’s all right.”

Fang Qiu spoke up, “Could you please stop staring at me? Now let’s have a meeting and talk about how you’ll sell Heaven Dew after the production process!”
