Chapter 25 Crazy Sales
The magical effect of the "Elf's Tears" skin care product has been sought after by a large number of wealthy people and countless women are crazy about it.
With the overwhelming advertising promotion, the entire Lighthouse Country soon knew about this magical skin care product. Of course, the lowest-priced youth version costs 5,000 US dollars, the normal version is 10,000, the hardcover version is 30,000, the VIP version is 50,000, and the supreme version of 100,000 US dollars is in short supply. Each one can only be used for one month.
The output of Elf's Tears skin care products directly depends on the output of various raw materials in Richard's Botanical Garden. The Botanical Garden only has 30 acres, and it cannot be used to grow the magic potion of Elf's Tears.
The more important function of the botanical garden is to grow potions to treat Richard's injuries.
Originally, Li Jue thought that the output of refining the Elf's Tears potion was enough, but when he took it, he found that he was too young and did not realize how crazy women would be for their appearance.
With the popularity of Tears of the Elves, even the ordinary editions, hardcover editions, and VIP editions in various places have been sold out one after another, and the Supreme Edition has become a product that only hears of the name.
So some rumors began to spread. After all, if the regular version was so effective, wouldn't the Supreme version be even better? Some rumors directly said that the Supreme version could rejuvenate and keep youth forever, which made more people want to get the Supreme version of "Elf Tears".
There are even many people who publicly declared that they would be willing to be the lover of anyone who gave her a set of the Supreme Edition of "Elf's Tears".
Such a hot scene also made Richard's company grow rapidly. The hot sales of Elf Tears made Richard earn a huge profit. In just less than a month, the sales of Elf Tears successfully exceeded 800 million US dollars, and in the second month it directly exceeded 2 billion.
With a sales volume of 2.8 billion US dollars, the profit was as high as 95% after deducting the workers' wages, materials, transportation, advertising and other miscellaneous expenses. Of course, after making a lot of profits, taxes still need to be paid, and Richard did not refuse this.
After all, all his money was earned in the Lighthouse Country, so he should pay taxes. Of course, Richard did not pay the taxes directly, but instead asked a professional accountant for help.
The Lighthouse Country has various tax reduction systems, including consumption tax reduction, charitable donation tax reduction, and various tax avoidance measures. As long as they are not too many, this is allowed by the rules, and Richard naturally does so.
After the calculations by these accountants, Richard had to pay very little tax. At the same time, he began to use the money in his bank to buy various materials, equipment, and rare metals.
Metals unique to the world of Motera or the magical world cannot be found here, such as adamantium and mithril. These two metals are extremely rare and only exist in worlds where elemental tides have appeared.
If the ordinary world wants to find this kind of metal, the gold and silver mines must be placed in a place with rich and active elemental energy for a long time before there is a very low chance of mutation, and this time usually starts from a thousand years.
The Supreme Arcane Council has carried out a lot of such operations in many planes, but unfortunately the time span is too long and the output is limited. However, the development of arcane civilization requires the consumption of a lot of rare metals, so Thorium and Thorium came into being.
Thorium and thorium are magical metals that arcane mages refine in a unique way from various metals to replace adamantium and secret silver.
Richard didn't know whether there was fine gold or mithril in the Blue Star world. If he induced mutations on his own, it would be useless after thousands of years. The best way was to use thorium and thorium as a substitute. The synthesis of thorium and thorium also required gold and silver. In addition to gold and silver, it also required metals such as platinum, cesium, iridium, titanium, and a large number of magic gems.
Magic gems are both natural and artificial. Arcanists study the formation principles of magic gems and simulate the environment to make artificial magic gems, but the price of artificial magic gems is also not cheap.
The best quality and most abundant magical gems are produced in the Earth Elemental Plane. Interstellar travelers often enter the Earth Elemental Plane to collect various magical gems, but the Earth Elemental Plane is not so easy to enter. There are a large number of elemental lords and elemental demigods living there. Once they find you, you will suffer.
With a large amount of US dollars, Richard began to buy supplies and also spent money to buy the land around his manor villa. He planned to start building a wizard tower after his strength recovered to that of a high-level wizard.
The wizard tower occupies a large area, and some space needs to be reserved for the future upgrade of the wizard tower to a floating tower. As for upgrading the floating tower to a floating city, what is needed at that time is not only land. In order to ensure the solidity of the floating city and not easily damaged, the floating city needs to use a large amount of metal.
By then, hundreds of millions of tons of metal will be needed.
The smallest floating city has a diameter of one kilometer and can accommodate thousands of people. The diameter of a medium-sized city is at least two kilometers, and a large floating city is ten kilometers in diameter. As for the super floating city, there is one in the Supreme Arcane Alliance in the Motera world.
With a diameter of more than fifty kilometers, millions of people live in this floating city. Such a super floating city is in the form of a satellite, orbiting the Motera world in the astral realm.
This floating city is also the pride of the Supreme Arcane Council, and is regarded as a holy place by countless arcane masters. It can be said to be an arcane miracle. In this miracle city, there are portals leading to many places controlled by the Supreme Arcane Council.
These planes are the ones that the High Arcane Council has colonized for thousands of years.
The floating city that Richard was going to build was naturally not a small one. In the crisis-ridden Marvel world, at least a large floating city was needed to give him a sense of security.
Along with the large amount of dollars spent, various materials were also shipped in from all over the world. Richard prepared a large number of warehouses to store these materials. At this moment, Richard missed his demiplane infinitely.
If the demiplane was intact, he could store all these materials in it and use them anytime and anywhere.
Richard planned to make a few space equipment first, and then start to open and repair the demiplane after his strength was restored. There was a large ecological park and a lot of supplies in the demiplane, and as long as he could keep some of them, it would be of great help to him.
The difficulty of making space equipment is not high. The lowest level space bag can be made by a low-level magician. The space is about ten cubic meters and can reduce the weight by 80%. However, there are no anti-theft measures and anyone can use it. It also requires maintenance. If it is not maintained for a long time, the space bag will shrink and eventually collapse.
Richard was going to make a space ring, which had a space of 10 to 100 cubic meters. The things put inside did not increase the weight at all. It was very convenient to carry various materials and goods.
