With a firm plan in his mind, Xavier answered the first question with a smile.
“What’s the function of this so-called Healing Potion?” Hannah asked subsequently.
“Oh, this is a good question, Ms. Young. As the name suggests, the Healing Potion helps people recover from an illness or a disorder, specifically one that’s related to the eyes. One bottle of the potion can help a short-sighted person with a thousand degrees in power restore to perfect vision.”
Fabian generated new ideas as he spoke. I’m sure Fabian would be so shocked to hear this when Natasha reports the news back to him.
“Could you elaborate more on the details, please?”
Hannah was quite impressed with the product. I can’t believe that he’s called me here to share about such an awesome product.
“Of course. This Healing Potion…”
Xavier made up a fantastic story and answered all of Hannah’s questions satisfactorily. However, Hannah found his responses unbelievable. Is that really possible?
Besides undergoing laser surgery, there are no other corrective eye care products that can rectify myopia. Moreover, there are known post-surgery side effects. If what Xavier claims is true, the product must cost a bomb. At least, it will be more expensive than laser surgery. That being said, the public might still be interested in getting it.
“Great. Please tell us how much do you plan to sell this potion in the market,” Hannah posted her last question.
Xavier pondered for a while before responding, “Right, I plan to market it at the price of a thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight. This is so that any average family can afford one. These days, even spectacles cost about a thousand. Therefore, our potion is certainly a bargain. We’ll reap the cost advantage and achieve economy of scale when our production becomes efficient.”
Clearing her throat, Natasha, who was filming the interview, had her jaws dropped upon hearing that. So cheap?
Hannah was flabbergasted as well. Is he joking? This is not merely a bargain, it’s dirt cheap for what it can do. I’ll absolutely pay a thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight just to get my vision fixed!
Not to mention, there are many rich people suffering from eyesight problems. There’s only one way for them to restore their vision, which is through laser surgery. However, many refuse to do so considering its risks and had resorted to wearing glasses or contact lenses.
A thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight is about the same amount of money they spend per meal. If the potion works without leaving any side effects, people will be willing to pay tens of thousands in exchange for a bottle.
Seeing Natasha gaping in silence, Xavier could imagine Fabian’s dejected expression. A smug grin appeared on his face at the thought of that.
“Well then… I guess that’s all for today’s interview,” Hannah spoke as she arranged her files.
Upon noticing a spaced-out Natasha, Hannah gave her a nudge.
Natasha was lost in her own world. If the potion truly works, I must bring a few bottles home for my father and brother.
“It’s a wrap. Thank you, Mr. Jackson, for this opportunity to interview you. We’ll see you next time.”
Hannah rose to her feet and reminded Natasha it was time to leave.
“Hold on,” Xavier called out to them.
Why is Hannah leaving so soon? Isn’t there something missing?
With a baffled look, Hannah asked Xavier, “What’s wrong? is there anything else, Mr. Jackson?”
He replied, “Of course.” Once again, he told Natasha, “Ms. Young and I have something to discuss in private. Would you excuse us, please?”
Hmm…
Natasha cursed in her head. What’s this guy trying to do? He’s so persistent that it’s getting annoying. Hannah doesn’t seem like she wants to entertain him and yet, he keeps bugging her.
Natasha stepped forward confidently as if she was ready to pick a fight with Xavier.
