"It's not hard work, but this time I came to see the eldest princess just to talk about the sale of refined salt." When he said this, Shen Ao also named the topic.
"Business and sale of refined salt?" The eldest princess looked stunned. Just now she said that the production of refined salt was insufficient, even for the palace, it had to be supplied in portions. Now we have to talk about the sale. This turn of events made the eldest princess feel a little confused for a while. But once you think about it clearly, you will know that there is insufficient production. It is clearly because Shen Ao wants to make a lot of money from this.
Even after she figured out Shen Ao's thoughts, the eldest princess had no intention of exposing it. On the contrary, she agreed very much and said, "Okay, if you sell something as good as refined salt, you won't have to worry about buyers. But I just don’t know how much it will cost?”
Seeing that the eldest princess had no objection, Shen Ao was also very happy and said: "This is exactly what I want to ask the eldest princess. What do you think is the appropriate price?"
Seeing that the problem was thrown back, the eldest princess was not angry. On the contrary, she thought that Shen Ao valued her. Otherwise, there was no need to ask, just set the price. Fortunately, she had really considered this issue before, so Facing Shen Ao's pleading gaze, the eldest princess said: "After the last price reduction of Guochanglong's salt, it was one tael for five hundred grams. Even if the refined salt is thousands of times stronger than table salt in terms of taste, appearance and effect, then The price is a hundred times that of table salt.”
"A hundred times?" Even though Shen Ao was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by the price.
Originally, table salt was more than a hundred times the price of grain, and refined salt was a hundred times the price of table salt. Isn't that comparable to gold? If so, can it really be sold?
The look of doubt on her face was caught by the eldest princess, who smiled and said: "Mr. Zhongguo, you don't have to worry about not being able to sell it at this price. On the contrary, you have to worry about whether there is enough supply at this price. After all, refined salt Unlike soap and perfume, which can be used or not, refined salt is essential for meals and cannot be lived without. Although my Daqian Dynasty is not rich, there are many rich people. As long as they know The role of refined salt will never be forgotten after eating delicacies made with refined salt. If you ask them to go back to eat salt, I am afraid that not many people will agree. On the contrary, for the sake of their health, they will not blink an eye even if it is a hundred times the price."
The eldest princess's answer made Shen Ao nod his head after hearing it, but it did not completely convince him. In this way, the rich can eat refined salt, but what about the poor? The price is ten thousand times that of grain, and ordinary people How can you afford it?
Shen Ao did not nod in agreement, but still had a look of doubt on his face. When it fell into the eyes of the eldest princess, she smiled again and said: "Mr. Zhongguo, you must be thinking that at such a price, ordinary people cannot afford it, right?" ."
"Exactly." Shen Ao replied unceremoniously.
"Hey, Duke Zhongguo was wrong about this. Ordinary people don't even buy table salt because it's too expensive. They prefer to use earth salt and crystallized saltpeter. After all, this is the consumption concept he can afford. As for refined salt Even if the price is the same as table salt (state-owned salt), they still won't sell it. Instead, it will be cheaper for the rich. Even so, why should they care about what the ordinary people think? If Lord Zhongguo is really serious, wait for it. After making money from refined salt, wouldn't it be better to use the money to help the poor?"
I have to say that the eldest princess has certain potential to become a speaker. In other words, politicians are all good orators and have the ability to instill their own concepts and ideas into others. Just like now, Shen Ao is convinced Already.
Originally, Shen Ao planned to price it at ten times the price of table salt, which would make a profit and not be too expensive. Maybe ordinary people could buy it and have a taste during the Chinese New Year. But after listening to the eldest princess, he knew that it was still better. I think things are too simple. Even if the price of food is a thousand times, the people will not buy it. They don't know how to consume, so there is no need to consider their feelings.
Shen Ao was originally a decisive person. After hearing what the eldest princess said, he had already made a decision. "That's it, let's set the refinement to 500 grams and 100 taels. Well, it's better to make one It’s a membership system.”
"Membership system?" Seeing that Shen Ao accepted his proposal so quickly and created a membership system without saying anything, the eldest princess looked curious.
"Yes, it is a membership system. Refined salt is sold in 100-gram portions, and each portion is priced at 20 taels. It is not sold to non-members, and even members must sell it according to their level." Shen Ao already had something in mind at this time. If you have a mature idea, you just need to go back and sort it out before you can promulgate it.
Seeing Shen Ao's energetic and confident look at this moment, the eldest princess became even more curious. "Can you tell me about the membership system now?"
"Well..." Thinking that the eldest princess is also the boss of Guochanglong, it is necessary to explain these things clearly to her. He immediately said: "Okay, the so-called membership system means that you must first deposit money in Guochanglong, and according to their deposit Provide various levels of membership cards and corresponding discounts..."
...
The country is prosperous.
It's another lively morning.
When the Guochanglong main store located on Taihe Street opened for business, there was a notice written on red rice paper in front of the huge store. The five large characters "Membership Card System" were particularly obvious.
Considering that businessmen had made rumors a while ago that they were going to cut off the supply of goods to Guochanglong, many people queued up every day to buy food and other necessities. As a result, the passenger flow was far less than before, but because of soaps, perfumes and other items Although there is no need to queue up, there are still many people choosing products here every day. Most of them are rich people. Now that the red notice came out, these people immediately attracted the attention of these people to find out.
Membership card system!
There are a lot of words on the big red paper, and the writing is also very detailed. As mentioned above, Guochanglong's membership card system is divided into eight levels.
From the beginning to the highest level, they are junior members (one-time payment of 10,000 taels), intermediate members (one-time payment of 50,000 taels), senior members (one-time payment of 100,000 taels), and silver members (one-time payment of 100,000 taels). Pay 200,000 taels), Gold Member (one-time payment of 800,000 taels), Platinum Member (one-time payment of 2 million taels), Gold Member (one-time payment of 5 million taels), Supreme Member (One-time payment of 10 million taels).
Among them, junior members can be upgraded to intermediate members with accumulated consumption, and the highest can be upgraded to senior members.
Silver card members can accumulate consumption to upgrade to gold card members. As for platinum, gold and supreme members, they cannot be upgraded.
No matter how much money you pay at one time, you can get a membership card issued by Guochanglong according to the amount. Each card has a separate card number and corresponding identification password. As long as there is money in the card, you don’t need to bring it with you for future purchases. The money will be deducted directly from the card.
In other words, the money is still yours. The only difference is that once you save it, you cannot withdraw it. It can only be used for consumption in Guochanglong. Of course, there are benefits to saving money, such as discounts and purchase restrictions.
As a Guochanglong member, you can privately customize the scent of perfume according to your own preferences. Different membership cards have different ordering and pickup times. Specifically, the higher the membership card level, the shorter the pickup time will be.
As a member of Guochanglong, you can get a free pack of refined iodized salt (weighing 100 grams) when you get the card. For junior membership cards, you can come to Guochanglong to buy one pack of refined iodized salt a day with your card, for intermediate members, you can buy two packs, and for senior members, you can buy three packs.
;Silver card members can get four packs a day and get a 5% discount, gold card members can get five packs at a 10% discount, platinum card members can get ten packs at a 15% discount, and gold card members can get twenty packs at a 20% discount (come with a real portrait)
(one piece), the 50 pack of Supreme Card is also a 20% discount advantage, but at the same time you can enjoy Guochanglong's new product gifts and investment dividend rights, plus a life-like avatar hanging in Guochanglong, and a corresponding poem, which can receive tens of thousands of dollars.
People come to pay their respects.
As soon as the membership card system appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. There are all kinds of opinions on this new thing.
Some people say that depositing this money in Guochanglongzhong in advance is not an act of fools. Especially the most senior supreme members, they actually have to take out 10 million taels at a time. It is not that there are no such rich people in the Daqian Dynasty.
Can I use this membership card with this money?
Some people looked at all this with a cautious attitude. They did not reject it immediately, but they just felt that this membership card system was very novel and interesting. They decided to wait and see and fully understand what was said above.
Content.
There are also some people who are very smart. They have already seen the business opportunities in this. If it is as mentioned above, this membership card system is completely feasible and may become very popular. And the premise of everything is that iodine
How effective is salt? Is it really like what Guo Changlong preached, whether it is taste, appearance or nutritional value, it is hundreds of times higher than the table salt used by the rich today?
If it is true, this membership system will work. If not, then I'm sorry, but there are no such scammers.
The publicity about iodized salt started three days ago. It was first reported from the palace that after the emperor used iodized salt, he repeatedly said it was good and ate twice as much food as usual; and the imperial chef in the imperial dining room
It also expressed that the newly made iodized salt was as clear and crystal clear as white snow and tasted great. The doctors at the Imperial Hospital also made a subtle statement that iodized salt is rich in nutrients and can indeed make people's bodies healthier after taking it.
Health, prevention of disease.
Of course, what the Emperor and the Imperial Kitchen said was the truth. The Imperial Hospital would say that it was Shen Ao who spent the money. No one in the world must know better than him what the advertising effect is. After discussing with the eldest princess,
So he donated 100,000 taels of silver to the Tai Hospital, saying it was to improve their living environment, and to put it bluntly, he was giving the money to the imperial doctors as benefits. Such news spread about the Tai Hospital, which had short staff.
Otherwise, with their current technology, where can we find out the nutritional effects of iodized salt?
