Not only the county government, but also the supply and marketing cooperatives in all towns and villages in Jinchuan County are also performing the same scene.
Thanks to the strong recommendations from the chamber of commerce and supply and marketing cooperatives, as well as the endorsements of Jin Feng and Ninth Princess, the sales of kelp went very smoothly.
Almost all the people who heard the news bought some.
People who have no money, or are unwilling to spend money, buy cheap third- and fourth-class products to try them out. Those who are rich and thoughtful, or want to use kelp as gifts, are the main buyers of second- and first-class products.
Especially for the first-class products, Yuan Caiwei adopted a hunger marketing model and deliberately did not release too much, resulting in many people who got the news late did not buy it.
The taste of kelp is not unpleasant, and the price of third- and fourth-grade products is also very low. It can not only be used as part of the rations, but can also prevent and treat big neck disease. People have received rave reviews after eating it.
In less than two days, the first batch of kelp shipped back was sold out by people in Jinchuan County!
When Yuan Caiwei sorted out the account books and sent them to the Ninth Princess, the Ninth Princess was having a meeting with Tie Shixin, Xiaoyu and others to discuss matters about kelp. When she learned that Yuan Caiwei was coming, she asked Zhuer to bring Yuan Caiwei to
Went to the royal study room.
"How much did the first batch of kelp cost?" asked the Ninth Princess.
"It's all sold out." Yuan Caiwei replied.
"So fast?" The Ninth Princess was stunned.
When Zhenyuan No. 2 and No. 3 were unloading, she was at the dock and knew how much kelp was unloaded from the two ships.
At that time, Jinchuan Terminal employed hundreds of workers and unloaded it for most of the night!
Ninth Princess thought that it would take ten and a half days to sell so much kelp, but she didn't expect that all of it was sold out in just two days.
"Kelp is a new food. Mr. Jin brought it back from the East China Sea to treat people's big neck disease. Everyone was curious, so they bought some and tasted it. After eating it, they thought it tasted very good, and it was third-class and fourth-class.
The price of the product is not high, so the repurchase rate is very high, and repurchasers tend to buy more than the first time.”
Yuan Caiwei said: "Other people who were still watching saw how popular kelp was, and they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to grab it, so they hurried to grab it. As soon as they went back and forth, they were all robbed."
The common people are like this, buying up rather than buying down. When buying things or eating, they would rather line up to go to a store with good business than go to a store with few customers.
This is a kind of herd mentality, which is actually a life experience accumulated over a long period of time.
Those shops with poor business are most likely to have problems.
"Kelp is indeed very popular. My old lady also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to grab a few kilograms. When she wanted to buy it the second time, she couldn't buy it anymore."
Tie Shixin said with a smile: "My old lady still regrets it because of this. She said that the kelp is delicious and there is no need to add salt. We bought too little at home."
The kelp is fished out of the sea and is not washed with fresh water when dried, so it has a strong salty smell.
Although the refined salt in Xihewan only costs ten cents per catty, for the people who have just come out of hard times, the little they can save is worth it.
This is another reason why people rush to grab kelp.
"Master Tie goes back and tells the old lady that when the next batch of sea food comes back, I will leave some fine products for her." Yuan Caiwei said with a smile.
"Thank you very much Miss Caiwei. If the old lady knew about it, she would be extremely happy."
Tie Shixin first thanked Yuan Caiwei, and then waved his hand and said: "But no need for the time being. We are old and can't eat much. We have a few kilograms at home that can be eaten for a long time. If we finish eating later, I will go to Caiwei again."
Miss Wei, take some."
After speaking, he turned to look at another Privy Council official next to him: "Mr. Lu, do you want me? If so, speak quickly while Miss Caiwei is here, otherwise it will be really difficult to grab her."
"I don't need it!" Mr. Lu waved his hands repeatedly.
He was an old local minister when Chen Ji was in power, with an upright character. He wrote many memorials to advise Chen Ji, hoping that he would not carry out large-scale construction projects to collect cultural treasures, and let him go down there more to see the sufferings of the people.
The Ninth Princess knew that Chen Ji would be furious if she saw these memorials, so when she was reviewing the memorials for Chen Ji, she secretly wrote down the memorials.
But one time, the Ninth Princess accompanied Concubine Qing out of the palace to burn incense and fulfill her vows. Chen Ji didn't know why he had a brain cramp, so he went to the imperial study to review the memorial, and then he saw Mr. Lu's memorial.
Just as the Ninth Princess was worried, when Chen Ji saw Master Lu's memorial, he became furious and ordered the dismissal of Master Lu from all official positions.
The Ninth Princess was also severely reprimanded by Chen Ji for secretly withholding Mr. Lu's memorial. Therefore, the Ninth Princess no longer allowed the Ninth Princess to review the memorial for him.
But how can reviewing memorials be as fun as playing with concubines and maids in the harem?
After Chen Ji calmed down, the Ninth Princess became a frequent visitor to the imperial study room again.
Now that the Ninth Princess has ascended the throne, her subordinates are in urgent need of manpower. Some time ago, they sent a team of escorts to the Central Plains and invited Mr. Lu and his family to Sichuan.
Mr. Lu has just arrived and is not used to the court atmosphere of Sichuan and Sichuan, so he is a little reserved.
But he really likes his current life from the bottom of his heart.
If Tie Shixin and Yuan Caiwei had spoken like this when Chen Ji was in power, their opponents would have definitely labeled them as giving or receiving bribes.
But Tie Shixin and Yuan Caiwei said this in front of the emperor, which shows that both of them have a clear conscience.
And after coming to Sichuan and Sichuan, he found that no matter the ninth princess Tie Shixin Xiaoyu or the ordinary villagers in Xihewan Village, everyone was busy doing practical things and no one was engaging in intrigues.
Although Mr. Lu is upright, he is not stupid. He knows that Tie Shixin just talked to him deliberately just to let him integrate into the court of Sichuan and Sichuan faster.
So Mr. Lu returned a grateful smile to Tie Shixin and raised his hand to Yuan Caiwei.
Yuan Caiwei returned the gift and then presented the account book to Zhuer: "This is the summarized account. Your Majesty and your lords, please take a look at it."
Princess Ninth motioned to Pearl to take over the account book, and first looked at the summary results.
"Two boats of kelp were sold for more than 9,000 taels of silver?" Princess Ninth was shocked.
Although the clerk from the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce said that Jin Feng was not selling kelp to make money when he was selling kelp, Princess Ninth and Tie Shixin and others knew very well that selling kelp was actually making money.
The fishermen fished the kelp from Maolang Island and transported it back to various locations of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. The total cost of the two ships did not exceed three thousand taels of silver.
This is still the first batch, and I am not proficient in many processes. When I become proficient in the later stages, the cost can be reduced.
"Although third-class and fourth-class products are sold in large quantities, they don't make much money. It's mainly the first-class and second-class products that make money," Yuan Caiwei explained.
"Xiao Bei still has a business acumen." Ninth Princess sighed.
In fact, neither she nor Jin Feng planned to make money from kelp. In Princess Ninth's view, selling kelp would be good if they could keep costs.
But Tang Xiaobei simply divided the kelp into four grades, and made more than 6,000 taels from two ships of kelp.
