Greetings, Mister Principal: The planning behind the scenes
The headquarters of Piram's Alchemy Workshop is located in Prest. At this time, on the top floor of the headquarters, in the huge office, Piram is processing documents. The Alchemy Workshop's income is quite rich, and he is already considering whether to buy a second one. There are four villas.
Dong dong dong——
A rapid knock on the door sounded, making Piram frown in displeasure, but he still responded in a low voice.
"Come in."
"Sir, I got the goods!"
As soon as he entered the office, Sanderson shook the Coke in his hand as if he was showing off a treasure, causing countless bubbles to bubble up.
"Really?"
Piram remained calm and pointed to his desk, where two bottles of Coke were placed, just like the bottle in Sanderson's hand.
"Hey, sir, have you already copied it? My God, you are such a genius, one of a kind!"
Sanderson flattered him immediately, but when he saw Piram's expression change, he didn't dare to say anything.
"You idiot! Haven't you read the newspapers in the past two days?"
Piram growled in a low voice, and at the same time threw the "Daily Prest" at his hand at Sanderson. The **** did not dare to dodge, and could only let the newspaper hit his face, making a crackling sound. A snapping sound.
“This thing called Coke has become a household name in Prest, and everyone is rushing to buy it, queuing up from the store to the street!”
When Piram first read the newspaper, he was very curious about this mysterious drink, but when he found out that the store selling Coke was the Warren Pharmacy Store, which Antoine has cooperated with for many years, he became interested. He had an ominous premonition, and it wasn't until he sent his men to buy it back that he finally confirmed that the Coke was the product Reiner had commissioned Antoine to make.
I don’t know what tricks Antoine or Reiner behind him used to allow "Daily Prest" to publish such an influential novel.
"Is this so famous?"
Sanderson was stunned. He was not very literate and could not subscribe to newspapers. However, he knew that his boss had invested in several newspapers, such as "Prest Daily" and "Prest Life". Newspaper" and so on. As for "Daily Prest", it seems that it is not its own property.
"In just one day, the sales of "Daily Prest" increased by 50%, and the market share climbed to 40% again. You know, how much money did I spend to get it? This pedantic newspaper almost went bankrupt!"
Piram is already furious. He cultivated those newspapers just to create public opinion for himself in the future. As a mage, it is difficult for Piram to advance further. He can only seek an official career and rely on his identity as a businessman. Become a city councilor, then wait for an opportunity to seize the position of mayor, and successfully enter the upper class society.
Newspapers such as "Daily Prest", which have reported on Piram's unfair competition in the past, are his enemies!
Now, the two enemies "Daily Prest" and Antoine have united together.
"It's time for both of them to fall into the abyss."
Pyram clicked his knuckles with a gloomy expression.
"Sir, are we going to use that trick again?"
Sanderson was naturally referring to the method of imitating Coke and then selling it at a low price. This method has been tried and tested many times. His opponents were all furious, but there was nothing they could do about it, which made Sanderson feel quite refreshed.
"Idiot, do you think I haven't thought about it?"
Piram cursed, then picked up a bottle of Coke on the table.
"I have already asked the production team to see it. The main ingredient of this drink is ordinary sugar water. It is easy to imitate a similar taste, but that is not the point."
"What's wrong with this?"
Of course Sanderson didn’t understand those alchemies, so he asked hurriedly.
"Huh, you'll find out when you open the bottle of Coke in your hand."
Piram looked at the violently shaken Coke in Sanderson's hand and said coldly.
For some reason, Sanderson tried to open the metal bottle cap with his hands but failed. After thinking about it, he bit it with his teeth and then lifted it, and the Coke was opened.
A large amount of air is also released at the same time.
The bottle cap was like a bullet, hitting Sanderson's upper gums violently, knocking out one of his teeth. Coke mixed with a large amount of gas spurted out, covering his whole body. The sugar water quickly turned into a viscous liquid, which made Sanderson miserable.
"What is this!?"
The first time Sanderson encountered this drink, the shock was so great that he even forgot to be angry.
“There is a special gas in Coke, which is colorless and odorless. It can be dissolved in water and can give Coke a special flavor. It also takes away excess heat due to the release of the gas, achieving a cooling effect.... ..Forget it, it’s useless to tell you. In short, you just need to know that we can’t produce this gas now.”
Piram shook his head. This special gas seemed to be a new substance, but Antoine didn't publish a paper and just used it to make drinks? ? ?
He couldn't figure it out~IndoMTL.com~The alchemy team tried several known gases, but either they couldn't be dissolved in water, or they would cause the taste of Coke to change. So far, those Pila The alchemists that Mu paid a high price to bring back still have no clue, and they can't even make a low-quality version.
But Piram knew that he could not delay it any longer. Of course, Crescent Coke was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he would never have a chance again.
So Piram ordered them to use sugar water as raw material to make the closest Coca-Cola regardless of the consequences. Although the taste was much worse than the genuine Coke, Piram was prepared to use price war to attack his opponents.
Since Antoine has a chance to get another bottle of Coke, Piram will just cut the price in half!
Although judging from the cost of setting up the alchemy array, such profits are very small, and even a loss after considering various consumptions, but as long as we can capture the market, everything is worth it.
"It's impossible for those untouchables to distinguish the taste of these two colas. It's enough to do this."
As long as tomorrow, the cola from Piram's Alchemy Workshop will be delivered to his major stores and restaurants. Piram is also planning to let his newspapers publish advertisements on the headlines and use the entire page to promote them. Piram's Coke.
Such a shocking advertisement is definitely much higher than that kind of so-called novel.
"As for you, Sanders, go and steal Antoine's alchemy circle for me. I will analyze it and write this gas into the paper, and completely seize everything from them!"
Pyram ordered in an imposing manner, not even realizing that he had gotten Sanderson's name wrong.
He looked at the mutilated photos on the table. At this moment, he only had endless anger in his heart, wanting to make Antoine die without a burial place.
