Run A Medical Clinic In The Abyssal World - Chapter 200：This time, you shouldn't refuse, right?
This genius, who was already legendary during his student days and displayed incredible resilience by rising again after falling, has completely conquered Leo.
As a result, Leo chose to trust him unconditionally and decided to use all the savings he had accumulated over the years from selling his drawings to purchase the first batch of goods.
“With 5 gold coins, I can provide you with 150 sets of basic first aid kits and 50 sets of intermediate first aid kits. How does that sound?” Charlotte handed him a list.
“That’s fine. Let’s go with that,” Leo nodded.
Charlotte continued, “We don’t have that much inventory in the store right now. Give me an address, and I’ll deliver the goods to you in three days.
During these three days, you can organize the shop and get the signage ready. You’ll be able to open directly after the three days.”
“If you’re too busy, I can pick up the goods myself,” Leo offered.
“No worries. I’m planning to visit Calva in three days, so I can bring them to you on my way,” Charlotte responded nonchalantly.
Leo didn’t say much after hearing that. He picked up a pen from the counter and quickly wrote down an address.
“The total payment for the goods is 5 gold coins. Today, you’ll make an initial payment of 3 gold coins, and you’ll pay the remaining amount when the goods arrive in three days,” Charlotte explained.
“The potions have an expiration period of approximately three months. Since you’re just starting your business, I’ll allow you to exchange any unsold potions within two months for newly brewed potions. However, this exchange clause is only valid for one year.”
Leo’s eyes lit up at the offer, and he gratefully said, “Thank you so much for that.”
Leo didn’t have much confidence that he would be able to sell all 5 gold coins’ worth of potions and 200 sets of first aid kits within three months.
But now Charlotte had given him a safety net clause, alleviating his worries about the potions expiring within a year.
Leo handed 3 gold coins to Charlotte, who then wrote him a receipt.
“In three days, in the afternoon, I will deliver the potions to this address,” Charlotte said as he put away the money and the note with the address.
Leo left happily, holding the receipt in his hand.
“Boss, are you ready to start building the potion factory?” Vivian asked eagerly, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Last night, she even dreamt of being his secretary and managing many workers.
“Not yet. Right now, we’ve only developed our first distributor,” Charlotte smiled and shook his head.
“However, we can try setting up a small-scale potion workshop for production and packaging purposes.”
“A workshop?”
“Yes, a small-scale factory, you could say. Once the orders increase, we can expand production,” Charlotte nodded.
The alchemy room in the clinic was already insufficient to meet the demand for potions.
Today, Leo’s order confirmed Charlotte’s determination to establish a potion workshop outside.
Currently, only he could brew intermediate hemostatic potions and cleansing potions, while Vivian’s basic hemostatic potions were just enough for in-house use at the clinic.
Therefore, Charlotte planned to open a new workshop and recruit potion masters to be responsible for brewing basic hemostatic potions and cleansing potions, thus increasing potion production.
It didn’t necessarily have to be experienced potion masters.
With standardized potion brewing processes, it wasn’t difficult to learn how to brew basic hemostatic potions and cleansing potions.
They just needed to recruit skilled and quick learners for rapid training.
After lunch, Charlotte counted the cash in his hand.
Today’s revenue was 25,420 copper coins, plus Leo’s advance payment of 30,000, and the previously saved cash, totaling 181,718 copper coins.
And his wealth value had accumulated to 105,420 copper coins.
To establish an alchemy workshop, he first needed a location, preferably a larger one that could be used to expand production in the future.
Renting a location was not a long-term solution, so Charlotte planned to buy a piece of land to avoid many troubles later on.
The land in the Abyss was not unowned; it had already been divided by the three major families.
To acquire a private domain, he would need to purchase it from one of the three major families.
Charlotte decided to go find Diana.
Roland was also an option, but his position within the family seemed somewhat delicate—he even encountered obstacles when establishing the academy.
In comparison, Diana’s family status was higher.
Moreover, since Charlotte had lived with her for a few days as a tenant, they were more familiar with each other, making her a more suitable choice.
“I’m going out for a while. I’ll pick up your clothes on the way back.” Charlotte greeted Vivian and Kasha before leaving.
He went straight to the Harriman Manor.
The fox guard stationed at the gate informed Diana of his arrival, and not long after, Buddy came out to welcome him and led him straight to Diana’s villa.
“I heard you’ve been busy lately. How do you have time to come see me?”
Diana, wearing a red windbreaker, had her long hair neatly tied up, exuding a bit of the aura of a powerful woman.
She looked at Charlotte with a smiling face and asked, “Missed me?”
“It’s been a while, and I do miss the charming landlady.” Charlotte nodded slightly and complimented, “You are still as beautiful as ever.”
“I heard you stayed overnight on Amman Street a couple of days ago. After coming back, your sweet talk increased.” Diana looked at him, her expression carrying a hint of teasing.
“Cough… I went there to follow up with a patient, and it was late at night, so I had to make do for one night there. I didn’t do anything, or else why would I not even spend a coin?”
Charlotte coughed awkwardly a couple of times, not expecting this news to have reached Diana’s ears.
“You didn’t spend a coin, yet you managed to freeload off Ruth?” Diana looked at him in surprise. “Alright then, you’re in a relationship without talking about money? You didn’t even give a coin? You scoundrel!”
Charlotte: …
Can I say that I didn’t do anything?
But if I say that we, a man and a woman, spent the whole night together and didn’t do anything, it seems even harder to explain his problem.
“Tell me, how is Ruth?” Diana leaned forward, wearing an expression of curiosity.
“Very pleasant?”
“And you still say you didn’t freeload off her!” Diana said disdainfully.
“She was chosen by the Succubus as their Saintess, with the condition that she must be a virgin. What do you think I can do?” Charlotte shrugged, “I can’t tarnish the girl’s reputation.”
“I see. So, that Amelia girl from a couple of days ago was in the abyss after all.” Diana sighed with boredom, sat back on the sofa, crossed her legs, and looked at the disheveled Charlotte.
“So, why did you come to see me today?”
“I want to buy a piece of land.” Charlotte got straight to the point.
“Buy land?” Diana was a little surprised, “Is the clinic too small?”
“No. I plan to build an alchemy workshop and expand the production of potions.” Charlotte didn’t hide his intentions.
Diana immediately became interested upon hearing this. She leaned slightly forward, “Are you planning to mass-produce the Potion Aversion Elixir?”
“Not exactly. The production of that potion has already been fully authorized. I won’t be personally involved in its refinement anymore.” Charlotte shook his head.
“In the early stages, the workshop will focus on producing low-level potions, mainly hemostatic and cleansing potions.”
“Are you talking about the emergency kits that have been selling well in your clinic recently?”
“Yes.” Charlotte nodded, realizing that Diana had been paying attention to him.
“How much land do you need, and in which location?” Diana asked.
Charlotte replied, “Alchemy refinement tends to produce odors, so it’s not suitable for residential areas. I want a slightly secluded plot of land. And since it’s in a remote area, I want the land area to be larger.
The initial phase of the factory will require around 500 square meters to establish a complete production line and storage system.
Depending on the business performance later, if the demand increases, I’ll expand the factory’s scale. So, I’m looking for a total land area of 2,000 square meters.”
“2000 square meters of land is quite large.”
Diana pondered for a moment and said, “But coincidentally, I have a piece of land that fits your requirements. It’s over 20,000 square meters, and I can allocate a portion to you.”
Charlotte’s eyes lit up. He had indeed found the right person. However, he still restrained himself and asked, “How much will it cost?”
“For 2000 square meters of land, the price should be at least 100 gold coins or more. Although the location is a bit remote and currently lacks any commercial value, if it’s sold to others, it won’t be sold for less than 100 gold coins.” Diana said.
“Uh… ”
Charlotte realized that he had underestimated the price of the abyss.
The money in his pocket was not enough to buy the 500 square meters of land in the first phase, let alone build factories and recruit workers after buying the land.
“Not enough money?” Diana looked at him with a smile, as if she could see his embarrassment.
“It’s a little short,” Charlotte nodded without hesitation.
“How about I invest in this 2000 square meters of land, and I’ll have a stake in your pharmaceutical factory? What do you think?”
Diana looked at him and said, “You once rejected me when it came to the business of the potion antidote. This time, you shouldn’t refuse, right?”
