Sean quickly calculated the cost of producing perfume in his mind.
The price of wheat is 2.5 copper coins/Soren. (The weight of a Soren is about 0.33 kg)
Although one Soren's ale can be produced every three Soren's wheat, the unit price of the worst-quality ale is about 6 times that of wheat, that is, 15 copper coins/Soren, 45 copper coins/kg.
In theory, one kilogram of inferior ale can distillate out 0.2 kilograms of alcohol. In terms of loss, it is already very good to distillate out 0.1 kilograms of alcohol.
Take the small bottle of about 50 ml on Sean's hand for example. 0.1 kilogram of alcohol can hold about 20 bottles, and a bottle of finished products can only cost 8 copper coins.
Flowers are also the same algorithm. Glass bottles are a little more expensive, one is about 3-4 silver coins.
All the numbers add up, including labor costs, and the cost of a bottle of perfume is definitely less than 1 gold coin.
......
So Sean smiled and said to Jessica: "In cooperation, I am responsible for the production and sales of perfume. The cost of perfume per bottle is about 10 gold coins, so I plan to sell 20 gold coins per bottle.
When the cost drops in the future, I will also launch perfumes of different fragrances and grades.
Jessica, you are responsible for using your connections to promote me. For every bottle of perfume sold in Jon City, I will give you 10% of the perfume price as a reward. What do you think?"
If Jessica is willing to help him promote the fragrance, the effect will be very good!
Jessica herself is the most powerful woman in Jon City, no doubt. As long as Jessica always uses perfume, it will definitely cause a trend of following the trend in the upper class, and rich ladies will definitely come to the store to buy perfume.
So Sean paid Jessica's turnover as advertising fees and was not at all lost.
......
Hearing Sean's words, Jessica nodded and immediately wanted to agree.
After using it, Jessica discovered the excellent commercial value of perfume. After all, this is something that the gods in the Kingdom of God use, so how could it be bad?
Although the price is a bit expensive, a mere 20 gold coins are nothing to female nobles and ladies.
Although he was willing to do it, Jessica still bargained according to the method in the textbook:
"No, at least 20%!"
Sean immediately shook his head: "I will pay for production, sales, and rent. If you pay 20% of your sales, you will earn about the same amount of money as mine. Of course I can't accept it!"
"Can you raise the price?"
"Sales will be lower when the price increases!"
......
After some bargaining, Sean and Jessica set the reward to 15%.
Afterwards, Sean took Jessica into the study and signed the contract.
Contract provisions:
Sean is responsible for the production and sales of perfumes, Jessica is only responsible for part of the publicity work, and Sean will pay Jessica 15% of the total sales.
Of course, in order to prevent Jessica from not actively promoting and 15% of the sales were vain, the contract also stipulated that Jessica rented the best clothing store under the River Chamber of Commerce to Sean.
Moreover, before the contract is terminated, Jessica must use perfume in public places other than funerals.
Of course, this contract is valid only in Jon City. Sean does not have to pay Jessica's commission to sell perfumes elsewhere.
......
After signing the agreement, Sean nodded with satisfaction, then smiled and shook hands with Jessica: "We are partners now!"
Jessica was also very happy. In fact, she didn't care much about what was written on the contract.
After all, Sean will be assassinated after returning to Hetan Town. After Sean dies, the perfume production workshop belongs to her!
Thinking of this, Jessica smiled happier than Sean.
"Well...why suddenly feel like I'm killing my husband to take over the property?" Jessica thought to herself.
......
After the contract was signed, the iron was struck while it was hot, and Sean and Jessica began to discuss the promotional issues about perfume.
Tonight's dinner is a very good time to promote.
But unfortunately, Jessica invited all her peers this time, and her purchasing power is not necessarily enough. If you want to sell perfume to noble ladies and female nobles who are not short of money, you have to wait for a large cocktail party in the future.
Sean and Jessica had a common topic, and the two chatted more and more passionately until the door of the study sounded knocking, which interrupted Sean and their conversation.
Jessica had never been so happy to talk to her peers. When she heard the knock on the door, she was about to get angry, but when she thought that Sean was the owner of the place, she forced herself to restrain her anger.
"Please come in!" Sean said to the door.
After getting Sean's permission, the door of the study opened and a person came in, but this person was Lucio.
After entering the door, Lucio looked at Sean and Jessica pitifully: "Two adults, the food on the table is almost cold!"
"Oh, I almost forgot about lunch!" Sean patted his forehead.
Sean stood up and stretched out his hand: "Beautiful Miss Jessica, can I invite you to lunch?"
"I'm happy, His Highness Sean!"
Jessica put her hand in Shaun's palm and was taken to the restaurant by Shaun.
.........
During the lunch, Sean and Jessica did not shy away from Lucio and were discussing the perfume promotion.
Jessica also asked Sean for any questions she didn't understand in publicity.
Sean has seen too many publicity methods in his previous life, such as hunger marketing, high-priced promotions, and brainwashing bombing... So the problems raised by Jessica can be solved from a high level.
Through chat, Jessica found that Sean's experience was much better than her peers and she was very handsome, so she couldn't help but feel a lot of favor for Sean.
But thinking that Sean was about to die, he looked sad.
Lucio was eating lunch silently and staring at the two of them with strange eyes.
After lunch, Sean personally sent Jessica away. Lucio also said goodbye to Sean at the right time, but was pulled by Sean.
After seeing Jessica away, Sean took Lucio into the study.
After entering the study, Sean said to Lucio, "Lucio, I have something to tell you..."
Before Sean could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lucio.
"You don't want to pursue Jessica, are you?" Lucio teased.
"Where do you want to go?" Sean was in a dark line. He did not forget that Jessica was the mastermind behind the provocation of Brody Mill's attack on River Beach Town.
They appear to be very harmonious and become partners, but in fact they are enemies.
"I asked you to come here this time because I wanted to borrow money from you."
"Borrow money? OK! How much do you want to borrow?"
“3000 gold coins.”
"3,000 gold coins, so many!" Lucio was startled, "I only have a few hundred gold coins on hand."
"Of course not borrowing from you, but from your home.
In a month, I will pay you 3,300 gold coins with the principal and interest, and I can mortgage Hetan Town to you. If I can't pay it back then, I will give you Hetan Town. The total value of Hetan Town is 3,300 gold coins, right?"
"Originally, I had to ask my dad for this matter, but my dad was not at home, so I had the final say at home!
OK, I'll borrow it, and I'll ask the housekeeper to send the money here later!"
Chapter completed!
