Chapter 299 The meaning behind
Soup dumplings and tofu curd are the breakfast for Alice and the three of them.
For this simple and delicious breakfast, it is not difficult to see from the satisfied expressions of the three people that they are obviously very satisfied.
Lin Feng said with a smile: "This is called soup dumplings and this is called tofu noodle. They are both from the ancient Eastern countries. In the entire Bright Continent, apart from my mentor, I am the only one who can make them."
Alice praised: "As expected from the heart of an ancient oriental country, it is very delicious, and your cooking skills are also very commendable."
"Yes, this soup dumpling tastes so delicious, even better than the one last night. Mr. Linfeng Mage, can you make another soup dumpling for me tomorrow?" Andrea touched it.
He said a little embarrassedly because of his round belly.
"No problem, it's my honor." Lin Feng said with a smile.
Lin Feng turned his head to look at Alice and said with a smile: "Princess Alice, I heard that you are known as the most beautiful woman in the Violet Kingdom. You are the embodiment of beauty and wisdom. Not only do you have unparalleled beauty, but you also have unparalleled beauty."
You are a person of incomparable wisdom. Not only do you have extremely high attainments in the practice of magic, but you also have in-depth research on business activities. This is not wrong."
"You're over-praising me. I'm not as good as you said." Alice smiled slightly and said modestly. However, it could be seen from her expression that she still enjoyed Lin Feng's praise. This is also human nature.
, Alice, as a proud daughter of heaven, has long been accustomed to such praise.
Lin Feng gently clapped his hands and said happily: "It seems that the rumors are correct. Miss Alice really has a deep understanding of business. I have met someone who knows the goods."
Princess Alice is well-known in the Violet Kingdom not only for her peerless appearance and astonishing magical talent, business talent, but also for her commendable abilities.
Lin Feng's flattery is not without purpose.
After a pause, Lin Feng continued: "Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, I have a small business here, and I don't know if you are interested."
"What kind of business is it?" Alice was a little curious, why did Lin Feng suddenly talk about business matters.
Lin Feng smiled and asked: "What do you think of the Sprite you drank last night?"
"The taste is hard to describe, but it has a very strange texture. It is one of the strangest drinks I have ever tasted," Princess Alice said.
Lin Feng continued: "So, Princess, what do you think the price of a drink like Sprite should be, and will anyone like it?".
Princess Alice said hesitantly: "Some people should like it. After all, the taste of Sprite is indeed very strange. As for the price... Sprite's taste is very unique, but after all, it is just an ordinary drink. Maybe a few silver coins are enough for it."
It’s valuable.”
"How many silver coins? No, no, no, Princess Alice, I have to say that you made a common sense mistake."
Lin Feng shook his head and said: "A small bottle of tequila produced in the Omar Province of the Canterlot Empire costs only three gold coins. A small bottle of Bordeaux red wine produced in Aalborg in the Kingdom of Aquitaine costs only
More than five gold coins, there is also the Duolang wine produced in the Black Dragon Empire. The price of Duolang wine is even more expensive. You need at least twelve gold coins to buy a bottle."
"Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, can you tell me which of the above wines has special effects? They all seem to be ordinary bars."
Alice also shook her head and said: "Your Excellency Lin Feng, this is different. Whether it is tequila, Bordeaux wine, or Dolan wine, they are all famous and specialty wines from various places, and they can only be produced in such a small area.
Brewing. The annual production is quite rare, which is why they are so expensive."
Lin Feng said with a smile: "This is exactly what I want to say. The taste of Sprite is unique. There is only this one in the whole continent. A unique thing should have its own unique value."
"Compared with those so-called famous wines, my Sprite has a more unique taste, and it is unique. Unless I can make it, you can't buy it anywhere else."
Princess Alice was stunned. After thinking about Lin Feng's statement carefully, it seemed to be very reasonable.
There is no reason why a unique thing cannot be sold at a high price.
Lin Feng continued: "Princess Alice, I have an idea about the sales of Sprite. You might as well listen to it."
Lin Feng explained his sales method for Sprite. In fact, selling Sprite at a high price is nothing more than hype.
In essence, expensive luxury goods are not necessarily any better than ordinary consumer goods, but the biggest selling point of luxury goods is their reputation.
An LV bag can be sold for hundreds of thousands, so is the material of the bag really worth hundreds of thousands? Obviously not.
Lin Feng's method is to hype up Sprite's reputation and turn it into a luxury product, so the price of Sprite will naturally go up.
As for the method of hype, it is also very simple. It is to make Sprite a special drink for the royal family. Only the royal family can enjoy it. It is best to send Sprite as a tribute to the suzerain country, the Canterlot Empire. Sprite's reputation will naturally rise.
.
During the hype process, there was no place to buy Sprite. Only members of the royal family could drink Sprite. At banquets held by the royal family, you could also see the business of Sprite and taste the taste of Sprite, but the portion would be quite rare.
After such hype, not to mention drinks like Sprite, even colorless and tasteless mineral water can drive up prices.
"Is this still possible?" Alice was shocked. This was the first time she had heard of this kind of hype sales method.
Alice fell silent and thought about the method Lin Feng said quickly in her mind. Alice also believed that if Lin Feng's method was used to sell Sprite, the probability of success would be very high.
And once it succeeds, the profits will probably be quite astonishing.
"Lin Feng Mage, what are you going to do?" Alice could ask this, indicating that she already had intentions for this business.
Lin Feng already had a plan in mind and said, "Let's do this. I will be responsible for brewing Sprite, and you will be responsible for selling Sprite. When the job is completed, I will earn eight gold coins and you will earn two."
Alice smiled and said: "Your Excellency Lin Feng, I basically agree with your conditions, but in terms of profit division, the ratio of 20 to 80 is too unrealistic. You must know that in this business, we
The funds that the royal family needs to pay are also very huge, and the profits from the second floor are really too small and not enough to maintain future operations."
"Well, as collaborators, we should split the money 50-50."
"No, no, no, it's a 50-50 split. I'm at a huge disadvantage. At most, it's a 30-70 split. This is already my bottom line."
"Thirty-seven divided accounts? No, this is too little, we should add more." Princess Alice was getting more and more upset and argued with reason about the amount of divided accounts.
After bargaining between the two, they finally decided on a four-to-six split, with Lin Feng occupying six floors and Alice occupying four floors.
Alice didn't know that she was actually tricked by Lin Feng. The 40-60 split was calculated after deducting the cost, and the production cost of Sprite would be completely decided by Lin Feng.
Alice didn't know that compared to the sky-high price of selling gold coins, the production cost of Sprite was almost nothing.
The two discussed some details about this business, and it can be said that they finalized the cooperation on the spot.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Alice, this is our first cooperation. I think we will have more cooperation opportunities in the future. I wish us a happy cooperation." Lin Feng said with a smile, appearing to be in a good mood.
"That's for sure. I wish us a happy cooperation." Alice also laughed.
Alice glanced at Lin Feng and said with a smile: "Sir Lin Feng, we are too unfamiliar, please call me Alice."
"Okay Alice, you can just call me Lin Feng." Lin Fengtou said.
Alice smiled and said: "Okay, then from now on, I will call you Lin Feng."
"Okay Alice, but I have to say goodbye first. I'm going to prepare more Sprite. Otherwise, there won't be enough." Lin Feng also said sorry to Andrea and Ms. Alinda, and then
Turn around and leave.
"Alice..."
As soon as Lin Feng left, Andrea obviously wanted to speak out, but Alice stopped her with a look.
"Let's go back too." Alice said.
After returning to Alice's room, Ms. Alinda released the silence barrier in the room as usual, signaling that the two could talk.
As soon as the barrier was established, Andrea couldn't help but ask: "Alice, no matter how good the sales of Sprite are, it only costs tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of gold coins every year. It is dispensable to the kingdom. Since the kingdom
If you want to recruit Master Lin Feng, why should you care about gold coins? Isn’t it better to just follow Master Lin Feng’s wishes and divide it into 28%?”
Andrea shook her head and asked puzzledly: "And for a magician, the practice of magic is the first priority, right? Why does he spend so much time doing business?"
Alice smiled and said: "My cousin Andrea, haven't you noticed yet? Lin Feng is using this business to express his feelings to us."
"It is not yet certain whether the Sprite business will succeed, but Lin Feng's proposal of this cooperative business shows his determination to stay. This is what is really important."
"As for my argument about the amount of the account, it just shows how much our country values him. You know, if I agree to his request indiscriminately, I will be looked down upon by him easily, and it will also give people a perfunctory feeling.
"
"For a magician, he won't care if the account is divided by one more or one less. What he cares more about is our attitude towards him, whether we treat him sincerely or perfunctorily."
"My bargaining is just to tell him that our country is extremely serious about cooperating with him, and it is definitely not hypocritical, let alone perfunctory with him."
Andrea sighed: "Is it necessary to make a very simple thing so complicated?".
