113: I just want to be friends with Young Master Feng
Hua Dieer saw that Feng Ming's expression had truly returned to normal, and she could not help but feel a bit depressed.
She possessed an Innate Charm Body, and this was the first time someone had been able to resist it, remain calm, and be completely indifferent.
The key thing was that Feng Ming's speed of adaptation was just too fast.
How on earth did he manage to do that?
After thinking about it over and over without understanding, Hua Dieer stopped dwelling on it.
"I just want to make friends with Young Master Feng."
Feng Ming nodded with a smile, "I believe in Miss Dieer's sincerity, but if there were nothing else, you would not be in such a rush to come and make friends with me, right?"
Feng Ming was not stupid; he had just arrived in Qingyang City, and the other party had made such a big scene.
Who would believe there was nothing going on?
"Miss Dieer, if you have something to say, just say it. As long as it is a legitimate matter, we can discuss it."
Seeing Feng Ming's serious expression, Hua Dieer gritted her teeth and said, "Since Young Master Feng has said so, I will stop beating around the bush!"
"I want to buy Medicinal Pills from your Feng Family! The kind with a very large quantity. I wonder what price Young Master Feng can offer me?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Ming could not help but frown slightly.
If it were anyone else looking to buy Medicinal Pills from him, there would be no problem at all; he would not only agree but would be very happy.
But with Hua Dieer buying Medicinal Pills, the matter became somewhat complicated.
Seeing Feng Ming's expression, Hua Dieer asked, "Does Young Master Feng have any difficulties?"
Feng Ming spoke calmly, "It is not that I have difficulties, but what is your Hua Family trying to do? This is a death-seeking business; how dare you actually do it?"
Hua Dieer's expression could not help but change, "What does Young Master Feng mean by that?"
Feng Ming said calmly.
"Miss Dieer, why pretend not to understand? The Hua Clan Merchant House indeed spans the entire Bright Moon Dynasty, and you do business in many industries, but there is one type of business that you must not even touch."
Upon hearing this, Hua Dieer immediately let out a sigh of relief, clearly having understood Feng Ming's meaning.
"I apologize, Young Master Feng. Perhaps I did not explain it clearly enough, causing you to misunderstand. Our Hua Clan Merchant House naturally does not dare to touch the Medicinal Pill business."
"And I am merely an insignificant little woman in the Hua Family. If the Hua Clan does not dare to touch it, how would I have the courage to do so?"
"I am looking to purchase Medicinal Pills from Young Master Feng not to do business, but to satisfy the needs of the Hua Clan itself."
"Please rest assured, Young Master Feng, I guarantee that not a single grain of the Medicinal Pills purchased from you will be sold."
Feng Ming nodded slightly upon hearing this and let out a sigh of relief.
For personal use, ah. You should have said so earlier.
If it were for sale, that would absolutely be courting death.
But for personal use, it is different.
To this world, Medicinal Pills are very important items.
They are similar to salt, iron, and minerals in the world he came from before.
These important things are all controlled by those in power.
Medicinal Pills are also monopolized by the royal Family of the Bright Moon Dynasty; at least ninety percent are in their hands.
Every city has a direct-sale store for Medicinal Pills from the Bright Moon Dynasty.
These stores are spread throughout the entire Bright Moon Dynasty.
Of course, these stores do not just sell Medicinal Pills; they also control the prices of Medicinal Pills in various places.
This prevents others from competing with the Bright Moon Dynasty for the Medicinal Pill business.
Here, some people will surely be puzzled.
Why can Feng Ming sell Medicinal Pills, but the Hua Clan Merchant House cannot?
This is mainly because, whether it is the Feng Family's Pill Workshop or Pill Workshops opened by others, these are all small-scale operations.
They cannot amount to much.
Even for the Feng Family, it can only be said that they occupy half of the Medicinal Pill market in Liumian Prefecture.
To the Bright Moon Dynasty, this is not even worth mentioning.
Therefore, they will not bother with these people selling Medicinal Pills.
Even if, like the Feng Family, the price of Medicinal Pills is cheaper than the prices of the Bright Moon Dynasty, it is not considered a big deal.
It is normal for there to be a price difference between big brands and private sellers, and everyone can accept that.
The Hua Clan is different.
Their Merchant Guild is already spread throughout the country, not to mention the issue of pricing.
Just the act of selling Medicinal Pills is competing with the Bright Moon Dynasty royal Family for goods.
If one were to add the low-priced Medicinal Pills from Feng Ming, the Haoyue royal Family's Medicinal Pills would likely not be able to be sold at all.
To have the control of such important items snatched away by someone is definitely a provocation to the Haoyue royal Family.
The Hua Clan naturally understands this point, which is why they have never set foot in the Medicinal Pill industry.
Even if they do, it is done through auctions at the Auction House; their own goods are never sold.
This is also why Feng Ming frowned after hearing Hua Dieer's request.
But if it is for personal use, then there is no problem at all.
After all, Medicinal Pills for personal use do not enter the market.
As long as one is careful, the money can be earned secretly, and the people of the Bright Moon Dynasty royal Family will not know.
"If it is for personal use, we can cooperate, but for the sake of safety, you and I must swear a Blood Oath that this matter must never be spread."
Hua Dieer also understood the stakes and nodded, "That is natural, but I would like to know what the greatest sincerity is that Young Master Feng can offer me?"
"Although these Medicinal Pills are for our Hua Family's own use, we are now the second-largest Family in Qian Prefecture, and there are many people. If the price is a bit cheaper, we can save quite a lot."
Feng Ming smiled.
"Rest assured about the price. A great Family like the Hua Family is not something everyone has the opportunity to befriend; I naturally will not be stingy about the price of these Medicinal Pills!"
"So I have decided to give you the cost price, plus the labor costs for the Alchemist; I will not make a single cent of profit on the rest."
Hua Dieer was somewhat dumbfounded, "Why is that?"
She only wanted to lower the price a little; she did not expect Feng Ming to go this low.
This is too generous. In this way, wouldn't the Feng Family be unable to make money?
Putting in the effort without getting any reward, what is the point?
Feng Ming saw through her thoughts, "To be honest, there is naturally a reason why I am doing this!"
"Lu An'an will participate in Madam Hua's apprenticeship ceremony this year, and I hope to help her leave a good impression on Madam Hua!"
"Let's put it this way: no matter how large the Hua Family's scale is, it is still just one Family, and the consumption of Medicinal Pills is ultimately limited. I have no intention of making money from your Hua Family; leaving a good impression is more important to me than making money."
Hua Dieer realized, and said with a smile.
"I thought it was just a rumor; I did not expect that you really like Lu An'an!"
Feng Ming also laughed along, "I have never said that I don't like her, right?"
"Romance between men and women is the most normal thing!"
"And I am not a person who likes to hide things. Just like when I first met you, I was also very excited!"
"I never hid it. Your charm is indeed very strong. My not pretending to be indifferent is also a form of recognition of your charm!"
"It is just that, as you can see now, your charm is no longer useful to me."
Feng Ming was telling the truth; after he realized the Way of Divine Sense.
The charm on Hua Dieer no longer had any lethality to him.
This is the benefit brought by realizing the Dao.
Hearing Feng Ming say this, Hua Dieer was instead somewhat displeased and actually leaned toward Feng Ming proactively.
One hand quietly landed on Feng Ming's chest, fingers lightly tracing, and with breath as fragrant as an orchid, she said.
"Is it really useless to Young Master Feng?"
