Chapter 1097: Business Is Booming
The next day, Tang Hao went to the fat man’s residence with a big bag of medicine.
Yesterday, he received a tael of silver. He spent the money to buy medicinal herbs and made about a hundred pills.
The cost of a pill was only ten copper coins. If he sold it for a hundred, he could earn ninety copper coins for one pill. The profit margin was extremely high.
He could only sell the pills at that price because he knew his target market. A hundred copper coins was an astronomical price for a peasant. Only a wealthy person like the fat man could afford it.
To those people, money was not a problem.
Unlike Feng Bai and the others, Tang Hao was prepared to take the high-end route. That way, he could accumulate funds faster.
After he sold that batch of medicine, Tang Hao would have ten thousand copper coins, which was equivalent to a tael of gold.
In the next few days, Tang Hao kept running to the fat man’s residence, pretending to be the disciple of a divine doctor. From time to time, he would show off his medical skills, which impressed the fat man.
“You’re so good, Brother. You’re a true divine doctor!”
The fat man was full of admiration for Tang Hao.
Thanks to him, Tang Hao’s reputation as a divine doctor spread to other rich people, even high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
The demand for his pills became higher, and it became the most sought-after item in the upper circles of society.
In just a few days, he had earned a large amount of gold just by selling medicine. Moreover, he was also working part-time as a physician, which further boosted his reputation.
In this world, he was only a mundane person with no cultivation base. However, he still had his knowledge of medicine and herbology. He might not be able to instantly cure diseases like before, but he could prescribe wondrous medicines to cure people.
In only seven days, Tang Hao had saved up a considerable amount of money and became a decently famous figure among the upper classes of Yellow Dragon City.
When he had some free time, he returned to Yellow Dragon village.
“I’ve already earned eight taels of silver!”
“Pah! That’s nothing. I’ve already earned about twenty taels of silver!”
Some people were bragging to each other at the village entrance.
Most of them had earned some money doing various jobs. Some sold aphrodisiacs, some sold female cosmetics, and some even started catering.
“Heh! That’s nothing. The best one is still Young Master Feng. He and a few others grouped together and sold aphrodisiacs, and they’re making a lot of money. I’ve heard that they even have a store in the city now.
“Then there’s the Path-Chosen of the Great Cosmic Echo Sect. That kid is making a fortune selling make-up and rouge. Those women worship him.”
Tang Hao could not help but roll his eyes when he heard that.
The Path-Chosen of the Great Cosmic Echo Sect was indeed good-looking. He was also proficient in all kinds of musical instruments.
He found out that a few days ago, a guy who came from a bandit background pulled off a big heist and hired an expert to kill the snake. The snake was not killed but had instead eaten the expert.
From that, everyone understood that the snake was quite powerful, and ordinary experts could not kill it at all.
He also heard that those people who joined the Yellow Dragon Sect and White Dragon mountain were cultivating diligently.
Ji Wu, Yao Tian, and the others were among them.
After leaving the village, Tang Hao returned to the city and took a look around. He found the store that was owned by Feng Bai and the others. It was called the Blazing Sun Pavilion, and it looked quite grand. It seemed that they had indeed made a lot of money.
The business was quite good, and customers came to visit from time to time.
“Hey! Isn’t that King Qin? Haha, how have you been?”
In the shop, Feng Bai saw Tang Hao and laughed out mockingly.
Since that night, he had not seen that Qin guy anymore. It was obvious that the Qin guy could not make a single sale, and he probably quit the industry out of shame.
Blazing Sun Pavilion was the biggest seller of aphrodisiacs. They had enough manpower to make enough high-quality stock, and they sold them at the lowest prices. No one could compete with them.
“I’ve already told you, but you just won’t listen! Haha! Just you wait! I’ll be the first to take down that snake!”
Feng Bai laughed loudly again.
Tang Hao did not say anything. He looked around for a while and left.
He went to the city outskirts and rented a decent house. Then, he bought a large amount of paper.
“I’ll show you the power of flyposting!”
He went to the streets, recruited many people, and got them to copy the advertisement and paste the copies on the streets.
Soon, many small advertisements appeared in every corner of the city.
“What’s this? Divine Doctor Qin? Specializing in treating male diseases and all sorts of STDs… What? He can increase both length and girth? It must be a scam!”
Many people laughed off the advertisement, but many more people were tempted.
The promise of a bigger and thicker member was too tempting!
Some people suffering from erectile dysfunction and syphilis were also tempted. They went to the address shown in the advertisement.
Someone arrived at Tang Hao’s residence about half an hour after the advertisements were put up.
“You’re the Divine Doctor?”
“That’s right. Come, sit down… Ah, I can treat that illness of yours, but it’s not going to be easy. I’ll have to split it into twelve treatments. Here, take this and drink it. The first treatment is free, but the next one will cost money. It’s two hundred coppers per treatment!”
“Two hundred coppers?”
“What? Do you think it’s too expensive? Then we’re done here. Hurry up and leave!”
“No, no, no, Divine Doctor. I’ll take the treatment course!”
The person took the medicine and left.
Then, another person came.
“Divine doctor, I have low libido!”
“Here! Take this. The first treatment is free. Subsequent ones will be two hundred coppers. Next!”
“Godly doctor, I can’t do it…”
“Impotence? Easy. Here, take this medicine. It’ll be the same. The first treatment is free. Next!”
People kept coming. Soon, a queue was forming.
Most of those people were nervous. They did not know how skillful the doctor was, but they decided to try it when they heard that the first treatment was free.
After they got home and found that the medicine was effective, they became excited.
The next day, they rushed over to see Tang Hao with their money in hand. At the same time, a steady stream of new patients poured in.
He could earn two thousand copper coins per patient, which was equivalent to two taels of silver. Five patients meant one tael of gold. That was faster than robbery.
It was indeed an unscrupulous method, just like those for-profit hospitals on Earth. However, Tang Hao did not have any scruples because he was in an illusory realm.
His business was booming, while he continued to sell medicine to the rich people. He could earn about a hundred taels of gold every day.
His wallet was also getting bigger and bigger.
However, he could not become a tycoon by relying on that. After accumulating enough capital, Tang Hao bought a store in the center of the city and started selling clothes and jewelry.
He hired a tailor and got him to replicate many designs that he had seen before, creating all kinds of fashionable styles.
By then, the connections he had gained before also became of use. Before the store opened, the products had already become popular in upper-class society and were deeply loved by wealthy ladies.
Of course, the prices were also very high. They were considered luxury goods.
After the shop was on the right track, Tang Hao opened a restaurant.
Qin’s Tavern, Qin’s Boutique, Qin’s Pharmacy…
Stores with his name spread all over the city.
