Chapter 21 Blowout
Zhan Shu leaned against the counter, looking at the group of people in the capital who were washing their hands happily, sighing with sighs.
Tian Rong leaned over, "Lao Zhan, is this scene lively?"
"Nonsense! Of course it's lively! But this is not my restaurant business is good, and there's nothing to do with lively." Zhan Shu said with a blank look.
"If this soap business is done, the princess will definitely reward us well. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with us?" Tian Rong asked back.
"You said this, it makes sense." Zhan Shu suddenly became happy again.
Princess Yu is their mistress and has always been generous to her family. Over the years, they followed the princess from her parents' home to Prince Yu's mansion. They cannot be said to be rich and prosperous, but they are definitely free of food and clothing and have a comfortable life.
If soap really opened up sales in the capital, would the princess have less rewards?
He had known how magical soap was.
As soon as I went back last night, I used it once, and my wife collected it like a treasure.
Even his wife is like this, and it is normal for these people to try so eagerly.
"These people are really not things. Before Chenshi arrived in the morning, they ran to knock on the door and asked why Prince Yu said that he would let everyone use it for free, but he still didn't open the door?" Zhanshu said helplessly, "There is no choice but to send someone to ask the guys to come quickly. Since Chenshi, I have been busy until now, and I have changed two shifts. If this continues, how can I afford it! Not to mention whether the business is done or not."
It was from 7 to 9 in the morning and knocked on the door before 7 o'clock. It was obvious that these people who were full and had nothing to do were curious about soap.
Tian Rong was both happy and melancholy, "Depending on your appearance, you probably didn't have a single one, right?"
"without."
Zhan Shu shrugged and pointed at the door, "I posted five or six huge notices and asked them to tell them one or two taels of silver each, and each person could only purchase five yuan. As a result, after they washed their hands, they walked through the side door and didn't ask any questions."
Lao Zhan, your operation is a little bit sensible!
Tian Rong pursed his lips and wanted to say something. Yang Ming's voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Master Tian, are you here? Is Your Highness responding?"
Looking back, Tian Rong looked at Yang Ming who was running over in surprise, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Boss Yang, Your Highness said you should wait a few days before you talk about it! You don't have to wait anymore. If you decide, Your Highness will send someone to find you."
Yang Ming was shocked and then said embarrassedly: "Master Tian, why is your highness willing to do this kind of mutual benefit?... Come on, come here, let's talk about it later."
He is preparing to use the Silver Ingot ultimate move again, wanting to find out more specific news.
When Yang Ming came this morning, he also saw such a terrifying queuing situation and also saw the happy results of the people.
This also further strengthened Yang Ming's determination to take this treasure to the northwest grassland to sell it.
Once you can master this ace product, Yang Ming will definitely be a well-known font on the Northwest Trade Road.
For this reason, Yang Ming even felt that he could give in a little more and raise the purchase price of 2 cents and 5 cents of silver that he had thought last night to 3 cents.
Three coins are not less.
In addition to the transportation costs in the middle, the taxes for various border trades, and various expenses for going to the grassland, the cost will be raised to five cents of silver.
If you only sell a tael of silver at that time, you will be so sorry for your hard work.
At least five taels of silver per piece.
Even if they buy from themselves in the border market in the future, the price will not be less than three taels.
But if you want to achieve this goal, you must completely monopolize Prince Yu's soap and not allow others to have the opportunity to compete with me.
As long as the supply is all in my hands, then how to price and make money has nothing to do with others!
He was happy to wait for Prince Yu to agree to his price increase in surprise, but he said lightly that he was not in a hurry and would wait a few days before talking about it.
What happened again?
Tian Rong looked at Yang Ming who was slightly anxious and patted him on the shoulder, "I told you yesterday that your price is not sincere, so I'd better think about how to impress our prince! Otherwise, the opportunity will slip away!"
After all, Tian Rong is an old man who has been in business for decades.
He could see that in fact, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still a little interested in Yang Ming, so he still can't let Yang Ming lose hope completely.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside.
Before Tian Rong and Zhan Shu could figure out what was going on, they saw the crowd being squeezed away. More than a dozen servants walked in with six or seven noble ladies.
The two were born in the royal palace and knew very well about the officials, meritorious deeds, nobles, etc. of the Dakang Dynasty.
Just one look, the two of them could see that the six or seven noble ladies were all wearing clothes of women from outside the court, and the level was not high, which was just a slut.
However, this is also a symbol of social status. Unless the imperial palace is ordered, even the Imperial Palace has no right to detain them.
Now that six or seven foreign women come together, it seems that they are not here to find trouble today.
Because they just looked around and came to the counter.
"You are from Prince Yu's Mansion, are you?" asked a woman in the head.
Her eyebrows were a little fierce between her eyes, and women with this kind of face were always very strong.
Zhan Shu smiled, "I am, I don't know what my wife has to teach you?"
Not to mention the genius, even the first-rank lady is not enough to see in front of Prince Yu’s Mansion.
The woman pointed to the trial area over there and said, "My husband brought back a piece of soap yesterday. It's the kind they use now, right?"
Tian Rong immediately looked at Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was also smart, and gestured to give him two pieces.
Zhanshu saw that the woman had the potential of a buyer and immediately became enthusiastic: "Yes, yes, good eyes, madam! They use soap! The same as what your adults brought home."
"You can use such a good thing for free to these people who have to care about it for a penny. Prince Yu is generous enough." The woman smiled.
She had no irony.
If Prince Yu had not yet made a name for himself, it would have been different these two days.
Just taking someone to beat Duke Lu to the point of being almost disabled is enough to make people admire him.
Not to mention that he also invented any method of calculation, which made the emperor favor him and became a popular person.
A prince who is only sixteen years old can do so many things. What if he grows up?
This lady has always been strong and has a very vicious vision. Of course, she won't do anything idiotic.
"Oh, don't say it, we all feel sorry for ourselves." Zhan Shu said, "In just over a day, all hundreds of soap have been used up, and every penny is money!"
"What should I do next? There is no limited free trial?" the woman asked.
"It definitely won't be there all the time. It was a bit troublesome to make this thing and took a long time." Zhan Shu shook his head, "I don't know how many pieces of soap you are going to buy, Madam?"
"Didn't you say that you can only buy five yuan at a time?" The woman also simply said, "I have seven people here, plus twenty-three servants outside, a total of thirty people, and I buy one hundred and fifty yuan, right?"
"Of course it's no problem!"
This time, the person who spoke became Tian Rong, "In Xiayu Prince's Mansion, if you want to buy it, please come here to pick up the goods."
"Butler Tian?" the woman smiled pursed her lips, "I didn't expect such a small matter, so I'd have to worry you to take charge."
"I'm all doing business, what's the trouble?" Tian Rong raised his hand and said, "Please, ladies!"
"good!"
Several women followed Tian Rong to the room behind the counter, and within a short while, they left through the side door with a smile.
Tian Rong was holding a purse in his hand, shaking the silver ingots inside, and laughing from ear to ear.
He had just sent a few young ladies out, and there were noisy sounds coming from over there. Five or six women in gorgeous clothes squeezed in a loud voice.
Tian Rong's eyes lit up and he immediately came forward, "Mrs. Tian Rong is in Prince Xiayu's mansion..."
...
It is indeed time for Tian Rong to move forward.
That morning, Wuliu Bogui's wife came and bought more than 700 pieces of soap in one go.
He asked the girls how they learned the news.
It turned out that after the two pieces of soap that Yang Ming gave yesterday at noon, the wives of the two small officials of the Ministry of Personnel were shocked and went to share with their sisters in their boudoir. Many people knew about it and wanted to buy some to use it home.
Although these noble ladies are not very high, they are only seventh rank or below, these small officials control the most direct money and grain distribution, and they are actually very rich.
Therefore, each of them spent 100 or 20 taels of silver to buy soap without blinking.
That's not all. By the afternoon, a group of small businessmen finally couldn't bear it and entered the store one after another, buying five yuan to leave according to the rules.
Although there were many guys who turned around and changed into a set of clothes when they went out, mixed into the crowd and continued to buy, Tian Rong did not expose it.
The first batch of soaps that can be sold now are 5,000 yuan. Tian Rong hopes to sell them all today. Apart from the trials, the Prince Yu's Mansion can earn more than 4,000 taels of silver.
As for whoever buys more, as long as it is not all monopoly like Yang Ming, at best it will make more money, which will not prevent Prince Yu's mansion from making profits.
When the store was closed at night, the total soap was sold today for 1,337 yuan.
This made Tian Rong so happy that he couldn't stop. He settled the accounts and ran to the royal palace with the money in his arms, preparing to announce the good news to Liu Mingqi.
Yang Ming refused to let him leave alone now, and wanted to go to the royal palace with a sloppy face.
After seeing the hot trial scene of soap today, people came from the outer city and will definitely spread to more places tomorrow.
Today’s soap buyer is still a small vendor who makes small fuss. If a strong businessman comes, his dream of dominance will be over before it even begins!
In order to seize the opportunity as soon as possible, Yang Ming was no longer ready to be shameless, let alone bargaining.
It is more important than anything else to control the soap in your hands!
...
Note: "Mandarin·Luyu II": "The wife of fate will become a sacrifice." In fact, at the beginning, the wife of fate refers to the concubines in the palace, and later it extends to the officials' wives and mothers who have titles.
It is often heard on TV that officials' wives are called "the wife of the court", and to be precise, they should be "the wife of the outside world", which corresponds to the "the wife of the inside world" in the palace.
