Chapter 274: Frightening Leo
Chapter 274: Frightening Leo
Pin drop silence gripped the room as without even trying Leo had managed to flip the dynamic between himself and the White Tiger Merchant Group.
It was Shane and his crew who were on the edge now as they realized that Leo’s products had the potential to cause a disruption in the industry.
Now as Leo introduced new products, it was the white tiger group who listened to every word coming out of his mouth with utmost attention as they dared not miss a detail about Leo’s products.
“Behold…. The Orange Poison”
*Gasp*
“Behold…. The Semen… errr I mean White Poison”
*Gasp*
“Behold, The Sort Of Blue Poison”
One after another, as Leo introduced his products, sweat started to drop from the forehead’s of the executives as they realized that Leo was freakishly strong.It wasn’t just one or two products that he had that could change the industry. Leo was like a walking Apothecary store that could sell a completely unique line of products and such strength was terrifying.
“D-did you create all these products yourself?” Shane asked, stuttering when asking this question as after Leo introduced his fifth useful poison, Shane felt as if Leo was not a merchant at all, but rather an alchemist who wanted to make a profit on the side.
“Oh yes” Leo said beaming with pride, as he gave Shane an amiable smile.
However, while Leo thought he was smiling amiably, to the others in the room he looked no different than a Demon as they felt absolutely terrified of Leo’s genius.
“Umm, sir, are all the products that you wish to present today poisons?” Asked one of the executives sheepishly as Leo shook his head and realized that he had made a mistake.
Because he started with poisons, he kept showing poisons one after another and had forgotten to mix and match things up during his presentation.
“I apologize, poisons are only one part of the products I wish to display. There are many other products that I’ve brought here for you all to inspect” Leo said, bringing out a small vial of the thick green liquid Ben used to bathe him in to strengthen his constitution back on Mount Faulkner.
“The Slime Bath–” Leo said pointing towards the green vial, as some executives wiped the sweat off their foreheads when gazing at the vial.
They half expected Leo to name it the “Green thingy”, but thankfully he gave it a proper name this time.
“This is a product that can improve one’s constitution and heal minor injuries.
It’s a medicinal bath, but much more potent and cheap compared to the current medicinal baths available in the market and can easily be produced in bulk.
If marketed correctly, this product can become a household routine, where after a day’s hard work the husband or the wife takes a dip in this liquid to get rid of all their body aches.
A complete game changer” Leo said, as at this moment one executive in the room fainted.
*Crash*
Fainting, the man fell off his chair and crashed on to the floor below, as Leo immediately felt worried if he was alright.
At this point, sweat beads began forming even on Shane’s forehead, as he did not expect this meeting with Leo to be as intense as this.
If what Leo said was true, then the white tiger group could make luxury resorts whose central attraction was this special medicinal bath where the rich could come to destress.
They could also open public bath houses and earn thousands of gold coins in daily revenue from offering this service, or sell it in packs to be used at home.
This product was too good to pass up on and as a veteran businessman Shane could see its usefulness in an instant.
Had he been a new merchant group owner, he would have probably thrown himself at Leo’s feet by now as the products that Leo presented could help create a business Empire from scratch.
However, since he was already an established player in the market, Shane held his nerves, however, the way he addressed Leo now changed significantly.
No longer did he harbor any plans of exploiting Leo or forcing him into an unfavorable deal as he understood that Leo was too important of a future business partner to exploit.
“Mr. Leo, if you don’t mind me asking, do you really have the manpower and the operation scale required to produce all the products you have displayed to me en-mass?
Because, unless you are employing over 3000 people, I don’t think you will be able to keep up with the demand that these products may generate.
No offense to your Mount Faulkner Trading Company, but unless I’m absolutely clueless, I don’t think you have the manufacturing capacity to make these products because I haven’t seen any factories around here that can produce these products at such scale.
This means that after securing a deal with my merchant group, you will need to procure land, find labor and set up production lines for these products, which will be a HUGE capital investment.
Now, I’m not doubting your financial background, however, even if I’m estimating everything conservatively, it will still cost you 2-5 million gold coins for the whole project and take you at least 3 months to get up to speed.
Am I right?” Shane asked, as he ditched beating around the bush and decided to cut right to the chase.
His words did make sense as Leo did not have the capacity to mass-produce his products yet, nor did he have established factories.
However, he did have a plan to make it all work, which was why even though Shane felt that he might be able to leverage Leo’s lack of production capacity to his advantage, that wasn’t the case at all.
“You’re not wrong, Mr. Shane, however, you are slightly wrong…” Leo said, smiling satisfyingly as looking at his smile, Shane’s mood darkened.
“You see, I have a very good friend who is a Baron…. ‘TheBoss’, the guy who introduced us?” Leo began, as listening to his words Shane felt his stomach drop.
