Chapter 156 The low income of cheap products
Tai Li said confidently: "After testing, this mass production assembly line now only requires you to spend one hour, plus a second-class wizard apprentice in charge, to produce 10 kilograms of high-grade fast-acting gel every day."
"Similarly, you need to buy about 50 kilograms of fluorescent moss every day as raw materials."
Locke frowned slightly, 10 kilograms a day, which is equivalent to producing 100 kilograms every ten days, and the market price is about 90 magic stones.
Excluding the extremely cheap fluorescent moss raw material, you can still earn about 80 magic stones.
In other words, if this production line is open to the outside world, it can earn about 240 magic stones a month.
But you also need to consider your own consumption of one hour a day, which is more than thirty hours of consumption in one month.
Happiness also includes the cost of hiring a second-class wizard apprentice.
Although for a second-class wizard apprentice, a more outstanding one will be given 90 magic stones a month. It is more normal for this kind of job to be paid around 50 magic stones a month.
If you want to expand the production line, you will have to spend more of your own time and hire more second-class wizard apprentices for auxiliary production line manufacturing.
It seems that it is really not profitable to produce this kind of large-scale fast-acting gel.
Unless it is a pharmaceutical laboratory that is completely engaged in this industry and continues to expand production, save costs, and deepen technology, other pharmaceutical laboratories doing this will not only not be able to make money, but the speed of making money will be too slow and too painful haha.
Compared to the earning speed of the three magic plants in his own plantation, as well as the treatment fees earned from the production of emerald potion in his own production room, and the treatment at the treatment center, the money earned from the production of high-grade quick-acting gel is really too little.
ifies in a situation where products without technical barriers, such as high-grade fast-acting gel, shadow agent, high-grade nutrient soil, pharmaceutical nutrient solution, etc., are the main source of income. ” Locke thought: “It’s really hard to make money like this. It's not much better than selling your time and working as a therapist. 』
It’s just a waste of your time. 』
『The high-grade fast-acting gel produced by this production line is self-sufficient. 』
This can be used to save a lot of money, especially as the scale of my plantation becomes larger and larger in the future. 』
A touch of regret appeared in Locke's heart, and he whispered: "Actually, I can't save much money, and it's a waste of my time. Only when I'm free can I produce this high-grade fast-acting gel myself. I'm busy doing research. When the time comes, it’s better to go directly to Lijin Secret Whisper to buy it. ”
Though all things considered, although it is not bad to produce high-grade quick-acting gel by yourself, if you include the time cost, especially for a busy person like me, it will be a loss.
However, Locke's regret soon disappeared.
This kind of wrong investment is necessary!
After all, there are some things that you cannot know the pitfalls of unless you experience them.
For a first-class wizard apprentice like me who is used to growing high-value magic plants, producing high-grade fast-acting gel is not only unnecessary, but also a waste of time. It is a useless act.
But for some first-class wizard apprentices who are very poor, have relatively cheap time, and have few ways to make money, that is another story.
So, for the same thing, the benefit ratio is completely different for different people.
When I was building a personal pharmacy, I made a small mistake in investing.
However, this is not considered a loss. Equipping the pharmaceutical room with a production line for large-scale production of advanced fast-acting gel will be beneficial and harmless. It will also allow myself and the employees of my pharmaceutical room to experience the large-scale production technology in advance.
This is a kind of learning in itself.
Assistant Terri, holding the information in her hand, looked up at Locke in confusion. "Boss, you look unhappy."
Locke shook his head slightly. "It's nothing. Terry, you did a good job."
Terry smiled proudly.
As a second-class wizard apprentice, Terry's vision is limited, so naturally she will not understand what she just calculated, and there is no need for her to tell her assistant about it.
Locke looked at Terri and asked about the really important thing, which was the production line of the first product that this pharmaceutical laboratory was preparing to sell to the outside world. "How is the production line of memory ointment?"
Teri immediately replied seriously: "It has been debugged and can be put into use at any time."
Locke then showed real admiration for her.
According to my own design, my own memory ointment production line can produce twelve sticks per day, but I have to refine it myself as a first-class wizard apprentice.
After all, the difficulty of this thing is really too high.
If you refine it yourself, you can prepare three of them in about half an hour, and it will consume a certain amount of energy and mana.
But if you use an assistant, you can configure six in about half an hour, and you can configure twelve in an hour a day, and you can save your own energy and mana.
After all, Locke has to preside over three plantations at the same time, in charge of the cultivation of the magic plant emerald iris lichen, and the crystal palm fire lotus, which also consumes a certain amount of energy and some mana.
He has to reserve a certain amount of energy every day for meditation, so the time for refining the potion must be controlled within a reasonable range.
Locke initially set it at one hour a day, because he still had to allocate part of his energy to the treatment center and refining the secondary emerald potion.
At the same time, a Meditation Ointment costs about 15 Magic Stones, and your own Memory Ointment can also be sold for 15 Magic Stones.
If you remove the material cost, you can earn about 10 magic stones per stick.
His own personal pharmacy can produce about 375 sticks of memory ointment a month, and he can earn 3750 magic stones a month.
The income from this memory ointment will be the income of Super Mandela Vine + Ironweed, which combined cannot match the income.
And as long as you invest more time, this potion can continue to grow, because its market is so large that even a wizard apprentice needs it.
It's just that in the early stage, before the market is opened, you will encounter a little trouble.
Locke knew that the logic of selling magic potions and selling magic plants was completely different. Magic plants were foreign objects, while magic potions had to be drank.
The needs and concerns of customers that the two have to face are different.
Hence, he is still a novice when it comes to selling potions.
But overall, I have to help my mentor work in the treatment center, refine secondary emerald green potions, continue to develop magic plants, complete orders, and pass exams in the process, and participate in competitions organized by the White Wizard Association. At the same time, I have to conserve energy and time to meditate.
Hence, the time I can allocate to making memory ointment every day is really only one hour for this kind of thing.
At most, after the sales increase in the future, and then invest two hours a day, the income of the memory ointment will double again.
There is no shortage of market for this thing, as long as the market can be opened in the early stage and trust gained.
“I’m beginning to understand why so many studios need a lot of assistants. It seems that sooner or later my pharmacy and plantation will need more assistants as they expand.
ifier | Many senior first-class wizard apprentices can only work in different workshops. 』
Others lack the skills to make money, but I have too many things that can make money. ” Locke rubbed his nose. “In this way, the balance of payments will be balanced quickly, and my deficit crisis will be temporarily resolved. 』
『Although my monthly fixed expenditure on meditation is 8,000 magic stones, my monthly income is about 8,500. 』
We have barely solved the problem of food and clothing, but there is still a long way to go before we can achieve wealth and freedom. To become an official wizard, you need a lot of resources, otherwise you will have to wait like other first-class wizard apprentices in the school. 』
The key is that if others have talents, they can still use their own time. If my own talent...if it really depends on my talents, then the chance of becoming an official wizard is too low.
