Chapter 166: Xianliange Red]
Updated: 2013-02-15
Faced with such a situation, Jia Rong couldn't help but shake his head. Twenty coins were exchanged for later generations, which was about four yuan. However, the purchasing power in the Han Dynasty was still very good. Now the situation is like the early days of China's liberation. It is estimated that when Jincheng County develops, the people of 100 coins per day will not be as excited as they are now.
However, after this incident, Jia Rong's reputation spread in Jincheng County. Even the nearby Qiang tribes knew that Jia Rong built a craft workshop in Jincheng County. Compared with the Han people, Qiang people lacked the source of income. When winter came, they could only eat the whole country. This is also the reason why foreigners envy the lives of the Han Dynasty and do not have to worry about their lives.
The soap has begun to sell well. Su Shuang remembered the experience that Jia Rong gave him. He first gave a small piece of soap to those nobles and told them how to use it so that they could experience it themselves. At first, these officials scoffed at this situation. Merchants were the lowest-level figures, and many officials even refused to accept it in person, but later these people regretted it.
When these dignitaries were completely shocked after using it, this small piece of thing was not only easy to use, but also had an amazing cleaning effect. What's more gratifying is that it had a faint fresh smell after use, not only washing hands, but also taking a bath better. These soaps are just trial items. Su Shuang certainly would not take out the most precious fragrance soap with one's hands as soon as he made a move.
In just a few days, more and more officials came to the person who gave them soap at the beginning. There was no way. After the people at home used soap, they all agreed to put pressure on the person in their homes, from old age to young age.
The officials had to come again, and all of them were told that the soap would be sold in Xianlian Pavilion in the city in three days. At that time, it would only cost 300 yuan, and the amount each person would buy should not exceed 10 yuan. Although the officials were dissatisfied, they could not come rudely and could only endure it.
When asked about the name of this item, the heads of various states and counties proudly told these officials the name of the soap. In front of the soap, the merchants were completely proud. Otherwise, it would be useless to look for me and ignore you. Do you want it? It is useless to put on an airs with me. At worst, they would not be able to sell it in this county and they would be worried that there would be no sales. For a moment, all the merchants selling soap became masters.
After using soap, many families saw the extraordinary nature of this thing and immediately found the person in charge of Xianlian Pavilion. They wanted to discuss cooperation. Su Shuang had expected this situation long ago, so they asked these merchants to inform them tactfully that they were only responsible for sales, and they didn't know that the owner of Xianlian Pavilion was.
The influence of the aristocratic families is not large. In just a few days, many big aristocratic families have investigated that Xianlian Pavilion is related to the Su family, and the strength of the Su family has also entered the eyes of these aristocratic families. Important prefectures and counties have their horse markets. How much family resources should the Su family have? After inquiring about the situation, the aristocratic families found the Su family and expressed their intention to cooperate.
Su Shuang's father had been struggling in the business world for a lifetime. The aristocratic families who came to cooperate came happily and returned in disappointment. Some aristocratic families even hated the Su family. Such a big piece of fat meat, if you want to monopolize the whole family, it will inevitably make others jealous.
When selling soap, the Su family helped a lot. In the early stage, the investment in various prefectures and counties was a considerable amount of money. Su Shuang still sent a small piece of soap in advance and got his father's consent. In the early stage, the soap opened a total of fifteen Xianlian Pavilions in Dahan, each prefecture and county had it.
The Su family has settled family confidants in various prefectures and counties, selling soap, and each Xianlian Pavilion supplies 1,000 yuan per month, which shows that it was just now that it only sold 300 yuan. The businessman adopted the concept of hunger marketing, and of course this concept was written by Jia Rong.
One thousand pieces of soap is sold at 300 yuan each time, and three times a month. It can be sold out almost in full. For good things like soap, you don’t have to worry about any advertisements. Users can tell everything by rushing to buy them. With this sales method, Su Shuang’s eyes lit up and immediately agreed that the early stage was to increase the reputation of soap first. This limited supply can not only attract people’s attention, but also promote the reputation of soap. Now the craft workshop in Lingzhou is moving to Jincheng, and the supply of soap will be temporarily vacant.
Su Shuang was personally responsible for the capital Luoyang. Unlike local governments, the first thing to do is to deal with the relationship between the top and bottom. This is not important. Nearly a thousand pieces of soap was put in. The initial price of soap was five jin of each soap, which was five thousand coins, which was enough for a household to spend half a year. The soap in the early stage was destined to be a consumer product for rich people, which discouraged ordinary people.
The eunuch Zhang Rang and Jia Rong had already said hello in advance and sent a box, saying it was a box, but in fact it was only ten yuan. In the era when soap was hailed as a magical object, Zhang Rang felt very excited, and the other eunuchs also had ten yuan each. The effect after use was indeed extraordinary, especially for clean people like eunuchs, the fresh breath left on their bodies after taking a shower made them even more like them.
As eunuchs, there will inevitably be some mistakes during surgery. It is normal for endocrine disorders to be disordered, so there is often an unpleasant smell on their bodies, which makes them love soap more. The soap that Zhang Rang received was naturally given by Su Shuang in the name of Jia Rong, and he also prepared twenty yuan for Emperor Han.
Zhang Rang detained five yuan privately, and handed the remaining fifteen yuan to Emperor Han. During this period, he naturally made small advertisements for Jia Rong. These eunuchs would naturally say good things to him in front of Emperor Han when they accepted Jia Rong's soap.
As Jia Rong's teacher, Cai Yong also received ten yuan. He heard that it was bought by Jia Rong, so Cai Yong accepted it calmly and asked about Jia Rong's most classic situation. Su Shuang was surprised and knew everything about Cai Yong's question.
The happiest one is Cai Yan. After hearing Cai Yong talk about how to use the soap, he immediately put in a basin of clean water and washed it. The effect after washing made Cai Yan very satisfied. He immediately snatched away four of the remaining nine pieces of soap. Everyone has a love for beauty, and the ancients were no exception. Cai Yong smiled and shook his head.
Looking at the soap and thinking of the tall figure, Cai Yan's eyes showed a look of nostalgia.
The situation in the capital is not as good as that in the local area. If the Su family is quite famous in other prefectures and counties, it is nothing in the capital. If you rashly win heavy profits, it will definitely cause jealousy among those who are interested. The strength of the aristocratic family is not something that the Su family can resist.
In this regard, Jia Rong gave a method to distribute the profits of the soap to the eunuchs and 20% of the Han emperor. In this way, even if the aristocratic families are in a dilemma, will they still worry about whether the big things will be accomplished if the emperor and eunuchs are protected by them?
Of course, this strategy is only implemented in Luoyang, and the Su family can still cope with it in other places. When the Xianlian Pavilion develops, the Su family can cope with it normally without the Su family. After the news of the participation of the Han emperor eunuchs in the Xianlian Pavilion in Luoyang spread, even the aristocratic families in other places dared not do some small moves. Jia Rong was the one who was missing.
Upon learning of this situation, Zhang Rang was overjoyed and introduced Emperor Han directly to Su Shuang. Su Shuang really didn't expect that he, a businessman, would have one day to meet Emperor Han.
Emperor Han was very satisfied with the effect of using soap, which made him agree to Zhang Rang's request to make Su Shuang-faced Saint. Jia Rong had never met Emperor Han before, but he didn't expect to be seen by Su Shuang-first.
When he met Emperor Han for the first time, Su Shuang's performance was really not very good. He was so excited that his whole body was shaking constantly. Fortunately, Su Shuang's mentality finally adjusted and told the price to Emperor Han. Emperor Han was very happy when he heard this. He could make money and didn't have to work hard, so he was naturally very happy.
Su Shuang talked about the possible troubles of aristocratic families in Luoyang. The Emperor of Han waved his hand and said: "Send fifty imperial guards to Xianlian Pavilion!"
With this sentence from Emperor Han, probably no one in Luoyang City dared to touch Xianlian Pavilion. During this period, Su Shuang carefully looked at Emperor Han and found that Emperor Han was just alone. He even compared Emperor Han and Jia Rong and found that Emperor Han was much worse than Jia Rong in some aspects. I wonder if all the civil and military officials in the court would impeach him together after they knew.
Of course, Su Shuang also made a clear statement that Xianlian Pavilion has many families in the Han Dynasty, and his family spent a lot of money to buy it. The rest of the Xianlian Pavilion had nothing to do with him. The Han Emperor didn't say much about this. In fact, he was thinking about how to divide the profits of the other Xianlian Pavilions by 20% of the profits. In this way, he didn't have to work or worry about the transaction that just waited for money. The Han Emperor was still very concerned about it.
It was said that the other Xianlian Pavilion had nothing to do with Su Shuang. As soon as the Han Emperor agreed, the news that Xianlian Pavilion had something to do with the Han Emperor spread and became a talisman for Xianlian Pavilion in various places. Not everyone dared to touch the emperor's majesty.
Not only in the palace, but the officials of the court basically got a piece of soap. In just three days, the fame of the soap was opened in Luoyang. Those families found Su Shuang at the first time. The purpose was self-evident. Seeing the bright prospects of the soap, the aristocratic families naturally thought about making some small thoughts. Su Shuang refused politely. Seeing the fifty soldiers standing in Xianlian Pavilion, as long as they were a family with some vision, they could recognize that this was the Imperial Guard.
Su Shuang was very proud of the Imperial Guard. With a wave of his hand, he gave each person three stagnant of wages per month. These Imperial Guards got the benefits and worked harder to do their best. At the beginning, the dissatisfaction with being sent to Xianlian Pavilion as a guard also disappeared.
Compared with other Xianlian Pavilions, the Xianlian Pavilion in Luoyang sells 1,000 pieces of soap each time, and it is sold six times a month. The capital is different from other places and is the economic and cultural center of the Han Dynasty. The demand is naturally greater, so the number of Xianlian Pavilion sales has to be increased.
Three days later, the Xianlian Pavilion in Luoyang ushered in its first big sale. The transaction price of each piece was 5 jin. Half a day passed and the sale was sold out. For those customers who had not bought it, Su Shuang could only apologize one by one, and stated that there would be another sale in five days.
