Chapter 14 Marketing

What is a gold coin? It is equivalent to one hundred silver coins and ten thousand copper plates! You can buy a wind deer like two flowers, or two third-level fine iron weighing ten kilograms, or a primary magic crystal. If you use it to buy daily necessities, the most intuitive thing is to buy 20,000 kilograms of awakening fruit or 50,000 kilograms of autumn wheat!

In this small town where even gold coins are not common, snacks worth one gold coins are actually made! Who would believe such an incredible thing?

Evergreen City is one of the largest cities in the eastern coastal areas of the Gaius Empire, with a permanent population of nearly 400,000, and manages an area of ​​one million square kilometers in the southeastern border of the empire. In Evergreen City, the most powerful and transcendent forces are not the magic academies above the Magicians Guild and the Pharmacist Guild, but the "Winglong Chamber of Commerce", a commercial institution responsible for the circulation of items.

No one knows how huge this Winglong Chamber of Commerce is. He only knows that in the entire Water Blue Star, any area with commercial activities will have its shadow. Moreover, the Winglong Chamber of Commerce is also the only cross-continental force. It can ignore the obstruction of the ocean from various continental sections, ignore the so-called racial or national contradictions, and only conscientiously provides material circulation services for all smart creatures on the entire Water Blue Star.

Although various forces on the continent have been rising one after another, the Winglong Chamber of Commerce has always remained neutral since history has been recorded and has never fallen. According to rumors, many years ago, on a distant continent in the West, there was such an unknown force. In the process of launching the war of unity, he was obsessed with money and tried to loot the local Winglong Chamber of Commerce. He still insisted on his own due to repeated dissuasion. As a result, ten hours after their attacks, all the combatants involved disappeared inexplicably, and the remaining non-combatants were captured and became slaves by the hostile forces that fought back.

No one has explored the authenticity of the legend, but the great convenience brought to the people of Shuilan Star has forced people to spontaneously maintain its unique neutral status. Otherwise, without the support of the Winglan Chamber of Commerce, they can only hide in a small area. And the communication between existence and non-existence is the most basic condition for the survival of smart creatures.

At this time, at a secret location in the branch of the Evergreen City Winglong Chamber of Commerce, Qian Tong stood respectfully in the middle of the room, looking at the door with a solemn look with anticipation on his face.

Tap and tap... Amid a strange footsteps, the door was pushed open, and an old man with a messy hair and a ragged body walked in with an unhappy look. He didn't look at Qian Tong when he entered the door. He threw himself on the seat with a thump, rolled his eyes and stared at him unfriendly.

Looking at the old man in front of him who was covered in tatters, Qian Tong didn't dare to be negligent at all. He first carefully held the tea and handed it over, and then accompanied him to carefully: "I'm disturbing uncle..."

Bah! The old man sprayed out a mouthful of tea and threw it to the side with hatred: "It's cold!" Then he waved his hand impatiently to stop Qian Tong from changing the hot water: "Okay, if you have something to say, I'm still busy here!"

Qian Tong quickly took out a box of chocolate from the box next to him and opened it and handed it over: "Uncle, this is the one I said last time..."

The old man was quite impatient and took the box directly: "You are grinding my old face to order those things for this snack?" His tone became more and more unkind: "I think you are getting more and more promising! Are you staying in that small town and planning to stay forever..." Just as he was so angry that he suddenly glanced at a line of small words on the box, paused, and smiled sarcastically: "Enhance your mental power? Bah! What a great face. You really look down on the face of my uncle. You dare to say that! If you really have such a good snack, what should the Pharmacist Guild do? Don't sell the sobering potion of ten gold coins per piece. Just eat your snack!"

Qian Tong could bleeding on his face, and he forced himself to endure all kinds of discomforts and said, "Uncle, you try one, I really didn't lie to you..."

The old man smiled bitterly: "Taste! Of course I have to taste one, otherwise why don't you make a self-righteous reputation... Humph, the taste is good. If you really use it as a snack to sell it, it will be a good way, but... Huh? Hiss!"

The old man's face changed drastically, his eyes suddenly became much more serious. He slowly savored the feeling of the chocolate, and carefully looked at the instructions on the box. After a long time, the old man, who was still unsatisfied, broke up a piece and threw it into his mouth, chewed it, tasted it, and tasted it for a long time. Finally, he opened his eyes, sighed, and said seriously: "Xiao Si, this time it was my uncle's preconceived idea, and it was wrong to blame you. Your chocolate is indeed a thing. Although it has little effect on enhancing mental power, and it only takes an hour, it does have this effect! And it appears as a snack. Well, let me tell you about your sales plan."

Qian Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told his plans.

The old man closed his eyes and thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "That difference is indeed a good way to distinguish sales, but it is somewhat limited!"

Qian Tong hurriedly said, "Please give me advice!"

The old man said: "You plan to produce two products that civilians and magicians eat. It is indeed a good way to seize the market. But have you ever thought about how attractive this kind of thing is to magicians? I am sure that once this thing is on the market, it will trigger a blowout buying frenzy! In this case, although your candy that cannot enhance your mental power will occupy the market, it will take the lower level route after all, and the price itself is not much higher, but it also needs to occupy your production resources! So, do you think this can be done? In the early stage, you can completely abandon the civilian market and make every effort to produce high-end goods edible by magicians. After the market slowly stabilizes in the early stage, you will decide whether to open up a low-end market based on the actual situation. What do you think?"

Qian Tong nodded: "Uncle's advice is that my nephew has indeed thought so before, but my nephew has limited abilities and is afraid that this high-end market will be difficult to open up. If you fall into trouble, if you don't have the support of the low-end market, you're afraid it's..."

The old man waved his hand: "Don't worry! Since you can bring the things to me, it's also trust in your uncle. How can I sit back and ignore them? In this way, you, relax your heart and relax your hands and feet after you go back and just focus on producing this kind of thing. As for sales, let me leave it to me. Although your uncle has not paid much attention to business affairs in recent years, there is still some face. Well, give your uncle a clear letter first. How much can you produce in a month? I can arrange the sales methods and channels."

Qian Tong thought about it and said carefully: "Now only one line is available, and one hundred boxes a day can be guaranteed. If the two money is fully opened, it can reach 300! If I follow my partner's method, I can produce up to 500 a day!"

What? The old man almost jumped up in fear: "Five hundred? Are you... seriously? Where are the raw materials? Can the medicinal materials be supplied? How many pharmacists have? Do you have time to prepare them?"

Qian Tong felt that he had lost his sense of superiority for a long time: "Uncle, the recipe for this thing is a secret. Because he signed a magic contract, my nephew cannot say it. But I can assure you that the things you are worried about do not exist."

The old man looked at the nephew who had been despised by him like a monster: "It seems that you have indeed dug up a treasure this time. If possible, you will have the opportunity to introduce your partner to the old uncle to know him. By the way, how much is the cost of this thing?"

Qian Tong gritted his teeth and said, "After counting, it looks like sixty silver per box."

What? The old man was furious again: "Sixty silver? Didn't you lie to me?"

Qian Tong was sweating coldly and quickly explained: "How dare I? I really did the preparations in the early stage and the hardware investment was too large. Otherwise, it would be possible to reduce the amount of about ten silver..."

Ah? The old man was even more surprised: "Can it be reduced?" He wanted to smash his nephew's head so that he could dig out the secret recipe and take a closer look.

Qian Tong understood this time. It turned out that the old man was not scared by the high cost, but by the low cost! This time he finally felt relieved. Fortunately, after hearing the boy's words, otherwise, he would have really shook the old man to death, a gap of 100 times! Then again, who would have thought that fifty copper things had such a strong effect? ​​Just quoting a fifty silver price can scare the old man so much that he jumped up. To be honest, people might think of you as a madman.

The old man walked around the house for a long time and clapped his hands: "In this way, you will hand over this thing to the chamber of commerce for sale, and then supply it at a price of 90 silver, giving you 50% of the profit, how about it?"

Qian Channel: "It doesn't matter, it's just that my nephew's partner once told me that whether it is cooperative sales or outsourcing sales, the final market retail price can only be one gold coin!"

Hum? Why is this? The old man wondered: "Isn't it good to make more money?"

Qian Tong explained: "He said that this is a balance of supply and demand. My nephew didn't understand at first. Later, he explained that if the final price decision of outsourcing sales is not in his own hands, it will eventually cause the supply and demand relationship to be reversed, and the factory will become an upstream processing factory."

"How do you say this?"

"For example, uncle, you take the right to sell and set the price at ten gold coins. In this way, the profit of each box is nine gold coins. In order to ensure high profits for high-end sales, you can control the release volume and artificially create a hunger marketing environment. In this way, although you make more money, the profit of the factory will be compressed, and then the sales will be artificially controlled. By determining the final retail price of the market, the profit ratio of both parties can be guaranteed, thereby ensuring the factory's interests in the entire business behavior..."

"Hiss!" The old man took a deep breath: "Don't say it, if you don't explain, the Chamber of Commerce may have done that. Ten gold coins are a bit exaggerated, but you can still fight for hardware. Don't think too much. This is not my uncle who intends to target you. After all, this is one of the means for the Chamber of Commerce to gain a foothold for thousands of years. However, no one has ever said this level so well before! This guy is really a talent, um... let's do what you say about chocolate. Let's talk about your partner first and talk to the old uncle. I'm more and more interested in him now..."
