Chapter 236: Business is Win-Win
Everything Ambrose had just said was aimed squarely at small and mid-tier nobles. For them, a true Potion of Youth, costing hundreds of thousands, was utterly out of reach. Their entire fortune might barely afford a single bottle. But this diluted version, lasting only a few days, was something everyone could afford.
After hearing Ambrose's explanation, many began to see the logic. At first, they had only thought of selling it to wealthy noble ladies. After all, women would pay generously to stay young and beautiful. But now, they realized its applications went far beyond that. It made sense for every noble household to stock a few bottles—for emergencies, if nothing else.
With the right marketing, this potion could even be branded as something that determined the rise or fall of an entire noble house.
"Nine hundred gold! I bid nine hundred per bottle!" Endel Mark shouted immediately, reigniting the bidding war.
Another round of fierce competition followed, and the wholesale price quickly soared to twelve hundred gold.
Only then did people begin to hesitate. The price crept upward in small increments, until finally, Endel Mark secured the distribution rights at 1,280 gold per bottle.
With a smug smile, he turned to Ambrose. "My apologies. Your insight may be sharper, but it seems the Mark family has deeper pockets."
He couldn't hide his jealousy. Ambrose was younger, better looking, and far more perceptive. The sales angle he'd just outlined was something Endel Mark hadn't even considered.
How could this man be so much better than himself?
