Struggle in the Steam Age - Chapter 675

Selling the drug at a low price is of course not without benefits. For example, it will greatly enhance Lawrence’s own reputation.

For another example, when dealing with churches of gods who tend to be kind, orderly, and even civilized races, these practices will make Lawrence have a higher reputation in the church, and it will be much easier to do all kinds of things.

But nothing in the world is absolutely perfect, and Lawrence’s approach does not mean that there is no bad side.

To give the simplest example, after Lawrence insisted on the low-price policy, the natural income of the human body in the hospitals and drug institutes under his command was not very high.

. Although in a short period of time, according to the situation on the island, there will be no problems for the time being, but Lawrence is worried that these institutions may not be able to retain people after a long time, and then weaken the level of these institutions as a whole.

After all, for most people, the firewood, rice, oil and salt needed in life are the most important. Therefore, it is important to talk about feelings and rules with those people, but all kinds of material things also need to keep up.

However, as a scientific research institution, simply relying on the operation of the island to allocate operating expenses will definitely not be able to meet everyone’s material needs. So Lawrence must find a suitable project for this research institution.

After repeated research, Lawrence chose health care products as a breakthrough for these institutions to make money.

The reason for choosing this direction is that, on the one hand, the health products and medicines are from the same source, so if they can study medicines, they can study health products, and at the same time, they will not forget their own job in the process.

On the other hand, with the advancement of industrialization and the increase of wealth, the number of wealthy people has increased. After satisfying the basic needs of food, clothing, housing, and transportation, everyone has begun to pursue more things, such as physical health.

As a result, the market for health products in many countries in the world has also begun to appear and grow larger, which can be regarded as an emerging sunrise industry.

However, like most emerging industries, the health care product market is now in chaos. On the one hand, the traditional health care products with extraordinary power are not only expensive, but also low in output. It cannot meet the needs of ordinary people.

On the other hand, under the mud and sand of the entire market, many people put all kinds of health care products that have no efficacy or even serious side effects into the market, and use this to make large sums of black-hearted money.

For Lawrence, because he had seen too many advertisements of health products in his previous life, he immediately realized the problems in the health products sold on the market and had his own solution.

While investigating the specialty products on the Green Island, Lawrence quickly discovered that the fish oil extracted from the local fish living in cold water has a very good health care effect.

Therefore, in the trade, Lawrence proposed that Green Island can use fish oil as trading materials. For these people in Ludao, although these fish oils can light up lights, they can also be used to treat night blindness.

But compared to the drugs that Lawrence used to trade, they were more willing to replace these smelly things with life-saving drugs.

Unlike the previous life-saving drugs that require a high price and will affect the mastery of extraordinary powers, the Baize blood line obviously does not oppose Lawrence’s approach to obtaining high profits in health products.

After all, medicines are necessities, and asking for a high price has the taste of taking advantage of the fire. But health products are not such necessities. Therefore, in the health care product business, as long as Lawrence does not get scammed, it is his own money, and it will not cause too many moral problems in this regard.

As for the health products that Lawrence plans to launch in the first batch, there are three kinds of health products. The first one is tonics made after refining these deep-sea fish oils. The selling point is to improve eyesight and strengthen the body.

This effect is not pure boasting, because the effects of these fish oils can be seen according to the magical appraisal and animal experiments of the clergy of the church before.

In addition, in the previous phase of the investigation, Lawrence also found that people in this area who insist on taking fish oil are indeed better than those who do not take it at all under the same conditions.

The second kind of health product is a kind of herbal medicine produced by the tauren.

According to the tauren priest Orchid, this is a herbal medicine that can be consumed by both humans and tauren, but the dosage and the ratio of certain medicines need to be slightly adjusted when targeting different groups of people.

The effect is also very simple, that is, long-term consumption can improve the user’s internal circulation, thereby achieving the purpose of improving people’s physical fitness.

According to the Orchid Priest, the raw materials of this medicine are relatively easy to obtain, and it is not too difficult to configure. At the earliest, it was used to lay the foundation before ordinary people became transcendents.

It was just that after contact with humans, the tauren got another medicine with a slightly higher cost but much better effect, so this medicine was gradually eliminated.

As for the reason why this medicine has been re-discovered, it is also very simple. It is because the effect of the existing medicines used to improve basic quality has been optimized to the extreme, so it has become a professional medicine with a narrow application range. .

Take the medicines that are popular for improving physical fitness as an example. If you want to achieve the correct effect, you must take in a lot of nutrients while taking the medicine, and perform corresponding exercises.

If you don’t do this, these medicines will not only have no effect on strengthening the body, but will cause some harm to the body.

This is naturally good for those who aspire to become extraordinary or warriors, because it can help them exercise their bodies most efficiently, but it is somewhat inappropriate as a health care product.

The old prescriptions that the Tauren mastered are just the opposite, although from the perspective of purely strengthening the body, the effects of these medicines are indeed not as good as the new medicines. But the performance is much milder than that of the new-style medicine.

Considering that most of the consumers of health care products are ordinary people who are not particularly good in physical fitness, there are even many elderly and women. Therefore, choosing those old-style medicines is more in line with the needs of the market.

But even so, in order to make the medicine more universal, those old-style medicines have also been weakened by several layers.

With the cooperation of the witch doctors and priests on the tauren side, and the scientific researchers on the human and rat side. They successfully changed the drug, replacing the original material with a part of the material with more gentle properties.

In addition to reducing the efficacy of the entire drug, in the final product developed by UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, they also adjusted the concentration of the effective substance in the drug, which greatly reduced the content of the effective ingredient in the drug.

Doing so can indeed reduce production costs, but Lawrence’s reduction of drug efficacy is not to cut corners. After all, those medicines turned out to be a standard professional medicine. In order to make this medicine suitable for ordinary people, it must be weakened to a certain extent.

After all, these nourishing things are not as effective as possible, otherwise there would be no such words as deficiency and no tonic.

Especially for ordinary people who have very general physical fitness, or even weaker ones, health care products with overly potent effects are actually no different from chronic poisons.

The third and final medicine comes from the rats, and it is a medicine made from a variety of lichens and fungi. The effect is similar to that of some blue pill from Lawrence’s previous life.

Of course, the effect of this drug is the most unstable of the three drugs that Lawrence is about to launch. Because the cause of some aspects of the problem is too complicated, it is basically impossible for them to make a kind of 10,000 in this regard. Elixir.
