Chapter 1128: bustling capital

If you really want to talk about it, although according to Xiao Zihan's method, the profit may be relatively low, but don't forget that he wants to build this capital into the distribution center of the entire Dayou Kingdom.

In other words, although the price here is cheap, the daily amount will be an astronomical figure.

Is there a good old saying?

Small profits but quick turnover.

It is precisely because of this reason that Lin Yi believes that if this is really done, it will not only stimulate the domestic demand, but also make the Great Blessing Country no longer have to worry about money.

Of course, it is not easy to do this, but it is necessary to get this reputation out first.

But under the current situation, I am afraid that such a thing can be easily done.

At the very least, take this soap as an example, the entire Dayu Country does not exist, only here is the only one, so the businessmen will find this place quickly for the sake of profit, after all, their noses are quite sensitive.

For the sake of profit, they can do anything, especially when no one in the world has touched soap, they will definitely come here to buy even more.

It is no exaggeration to say that after purchasing cheap soap here, they are likely to sell it at a high price in some remote areas.

In this way, it can be said that their profits can be directly turned up and down.

And the fact is just as Lin Yi guessed, this group of businessmen are fighting for this purpose, he wants to take the soap here to sell elsewhere.

Although the price of a piece of soap has reached a tael of silver now, if you get some remote cities, some relatively rich cities, they will still have a market for five or six taels of silver a piece.

After all, as long as this thing is hyped properly, it is definitely something that is welcomed by dignitaries.

While Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan were discussing here, the first batch of goods had already arrived in the hands of those merchants. After they got the goods, they rushed to their respective cities non-stop.

After Lin Yi agreed to such a policy, Xiao Zihan soon began to implement it.

On the second day, soaps of several grades have successfully appeared in front of the public's field of vision.

And in order not to affect the sales of this high-end market, Xiao Zihan even separated this high-end market separately.

It can be said that from the beginning, they sold some relatively high-end soaps in a special store, and the name and decoration of this store were much more advanced than those nearby.

In order to achieve his own goals, Xiao Zihan even asked people to move the place responsible for selling cheap soaps away from the sales area of ​​high-end soaps.

In this way, the stability in this high-end sales area is better protected.

After all, when many rich people see that the poor are crowded here to buy, they will subconsciously think that this thing is not as high-end as they imagined. After all, what they buy is their status, not their practical value. Yes, therefore. Naturally, this sense of superiority must be given to each of them.

I have to say that the purpose of doing this is indeed very clear, and instead of feeling dissatisfied with it, those dignitaries felt complacent.

Especially when those poor people can only go in and out of those dilapidated shops, they are even more superior.

Although they are all soaps, what kind of stuff are you using?

This is the status gap, this is the difference between having money and not having money.

This made them even more excited when facing these soaps for a while, and Xiao Zihan also clearly played with the sales methods of later generations, and even made some special limited editions Edition to supply these dignitaries to buy.

And these limited editions are engraved with numbers without exception. For example, the special unicorn-shaped soap is directly limited to ten pieces, and there are numbers on them, each piece is numbered. It is clearly engraved with the meaning it represents.

In this way, not to mention those dignitaries and virtuous girls who have all turned their attention to this kind of thing, they all feel attracted, and they all want to get this kind of limited edition thing, after all, it is limited to ten yuan , which is definitely a status symbol.

Even the most expensive piece was sold at a sky-high price of 8,888 taels of silver.

Many people will say that the limited editions of later generations cost tens of millions, but now they are only 8,000 taels. Isn't that a little little?

Really, this is already a considerable number, after all, these two silvers are equivalent to one thousand yuan in the future market.

Calculated in this way, we can see how terrifying these eight thousand taels are. Don't forget, what you bought for 8,000 taels is just a piece of carved soap that looks better. The cost of this kind of thing is almost the same as the cost of the most common soap. The cost of each piece is less than Two pennies.

It can be said that everything sold is profit. When Lin Yi heard the news, he couldn't help being very surprised by the magnanimity of these rich people.

It never occurred to them that in the hands of these rich people, they hold such a large amount of assets, and they can spend so much money to buy a piece of soap.

But thinking of those rich people who bought limited editions in later generations, this is really nothing. After all, for them, their cognitive philosophy is different from that of ordinary people.

Ordinary people pay attention to practicality, cheapness and preferential treatment, but what do these people pay attention to? What is important is the card, the status, and the identity.

To me, or perhaps to them, spending these 8,000 taels of silver is no different from ordinary people spending 80 Wen. After all, poverty limits the imagination of many people.

It was the appearance of those soaps worth tens of pennies, and suddenly, all the common people became excited, and they dared to step into those shops that were just flinching at first.

When they held the pieces of soap in their hands, they were all shocked.

They never thought that this thing smelled so good, and when they took it back to experiment, they were also surprised to find that the stains left on the clothes due to years of hard work could be washed easily It fell, which they never thought of anyway.

Of course, even so, although this thing is very useful, they are not willing to use it to wash clothes directly. Instead, use it carefully to wash your face every day. wash your hair.

After all, for ordinary people, these tens of pennies are not a small expense, even the most common kind of soap is priced at ten penny, and this ten penny is equivalent to ten yuan in later generations money.

This price is actually much higher than that of later generations, after all. Even if the price of another bar of soap is expensive, it will not exceed five yuan, of course. This refers to the kind of civilian use, not the kind of luxury.

However, right now this soap is really the only one in Dayu Country, so the price is actually expensive compared to the future market, but now, it is already so cheap that it can't be any cheaper.

After all, with today's production level, the cost of each piece of soap would be around one penny.

The high-end ones will be more expensive, even for those limited editions, some workers even need to carve for a few days to complete one piece, and the wages of these workers are tens of pennies per day.

Because if you really want to convert it, the cost price of those soaps may reach dozens or even hundreds of yuan.

Of course, such a cost is not even a fraction of the selling price, but this account is not calculated in this way.

Let's talk about it, let's take these people as an example, let alone go to work to earn money every day, they can only rely on hard work every day in exchange for some food, so each family can spend ten taels of silver Yes, those are quite powerful characters.

And even if the common people in this capital are a little richer, the savings of each family will not exceed twenty taels of silver, and this is relatively better.

Even for those relatively poor families, not to mention the spare money, even the daily expenses are not enough, and it is already quite impressive to be able to barely eat their stomachs.

It is precisely because of this that even if the price has reached the current price, those ordinary people who cannot afford it still cannot afford it, but it is much better than before.

Of course, those merchants didn't say anything after knowing these prices, but many people directly replaced the high-end goods with low-end goods. After all, they are not stupid, this thing has just appeared. Therefore, many people don't know it. Even if they go there with the most high-end things, they are probably ignorant of current affairs.

And since this is the case, it is better to sell the low-end items there. After all, the lowest-end items are also very high-end in their eyes. If it is not compared with those other grades of soap, they will not think that This stuff is bad.

But I have to admit that Xiao Zihan's deduction is indeed correct. Not long after the first batch of merchants left, they sold all the soaps at several times the price.

And after selling it, they also returned to the capital immediately without stopping, wanting to get the second batch of soap.

And when they came over, they naturally wouldn't let their fleet be idle like this, but thought about what the capital needed, so he would take something to sell there.

Of course, the most used ones are mainly grain and grass.

After all, in this era, even any city is very short of food, even this imperial city. It is obviously not an easy task for the people to have a full meal.

Moreover, the actions of the merchants immediately attracted more people's attention. When they delivered the first batch of goods to the local area, the local merchants quickly sensed the business opportunities.

And now this business matter has been very cruel since ancient times. Therefore, after asking, they didn't tell these people where they passed by, and these guys made up their minds, and followed those caravans and began to trek secretly. stand up.

Because of this, it took less than a month for the capital to become very prosperous.

The original wide Suzaku Avenue has become very crowded at this time.

You know, the vertical width of today's Suzaku Avenue is no less than 200 meters. With this width, even if you walk through the army, there is no problem at all.

But all of a sudden, the shops along the street sprang up one after another. Street vendors popped up one by one suddenly, even in this road, they were illegal hawkers carrying poles and baskets, yelling and selling something non-stop.

Seeing this situation, it was almost the same as what was shown on TV.

Standing on the tower, Lin Yi looked at the turbulent crowd below and the dense crowd, and couldn't help but nodded in relief.

This is the prosperity he wants, like when he first came here, although there were many pedestrians on the street, there were also many small vendors. Compared with the photos, it can only be described as deserted.

Nothing else, just use a set of the simplest data for comparison, that is, on the Suzaku East Street, there were originally only these 13 shops, plus 30 stalls, but the number of shops has directly increased from 13 to 110 Home. These 30 booths have also become more than 400.

As you can imagine, almost everywhere here is as lively as the pedestrian street in Houshi.

The permanent population in this capital is only 70,000 to 80,000 people, but judging from the personal traffic in Kyoto right now, there are at least 150,000 people.

This number has more than doubled. Of course, this is because many merchants left quickly after receiving the goods, leaving behind those who came to pick up the goods or those who had not yet sold the goods in their hands.

Got it. The reason why it has turned into the current scene is not only because of the existence of soap, if there is only one kind of goods, soap, it will definitely not reach the current level~www.readwn.com~ but because At this time, there are not only photographs, but also several other things appearing.

For example, this is a strong drink that can make a strong man drunk on the spot.

For example, the perfume that emits a seductive aroma, and the paper that can be used for writing is very convenient.

Wait, etc., all in all, these things do not exist in the entire Dayu Country and even in today's society, which also made those businessmen go crazy in an instant.

Xiao Zihan's credit for being able to achieve the current situation is beyond doubt. This girl's methods are indeed clever, and she has established all the workshops in this short period of time.

And all of them have been put into production, although there are a lot of goods.

The quantity of each factory is very limited, but it is also gradually increasing.
