Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 321: So poor that he has to sell the villa on the top of the mountain

With two potential markets: local customers in Xiangjiang, London and island countries, Chu Xiangqian quickly decided that even if the tiger bone wine is bottled and sold in the future, it will not be sold in stores.

I only sell it to regular customers in Hong Kong and London, and I tell them that it is for the sake of my friends, so I sell it to them for 2 Hong Kong dollars and 150 pounds.

Otherwise, the price for selling to island countries and possible future American customers would be HKD 3 or even HKD 4 per bottle.

As long as the outside world spreads that this wine costs [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars a bottle, people who know this wine will have the inherent concept that this wine is priced at this price.

If you can buy it for less, it's because you have a good relationship with Chu Xiangqian, so you get a discount.

Even though in the first few years, the 1 bottles per year could not be sold out, Chu Xiangqian would rather sell less and store it in the warehouse, which would be more profitable.

And because there is a year mark on the bottle, the longer it is kept, the more expensive it becomes.

This trick is a common method used in major wineries.

When they produce tens of thousands of bottles every year, they keep half of them unsold, lest there be too many of their own branded wines in the market, which would affect the price and brand value.

After waiting for a few years and then slowly releasing some of it, not only will the price be easily increased, but the wine dealers will also be willing to cooperate with the speculation.

If you have money, everyone makes it together, and the only ones who get screwed are the rich.

As for ordinary people, they are not even considered as a customer group.

But the more this happens, the more people praise it.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought, although this trick is straightforward, it is indeed very easy to use.

Then he shouted something outside, and after a while, Duan Hongchun walked in personally carrying a tray.

Chu Qianqian pointed to the deer glue soup placed in front of him and Matsuno and said, "This is red date, wolfberry and deer glue soup. It has the functions of strengthening yang, replenishing qi and blood, regenerating essence, and warming muscles and bones. It can treat various types of weakness and fatigue. Injury works wonders.”

Matsuno's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also knew about supplements such as deer glue and donkey-hide gelatin.

During the period when he was still recovering from his injury, he not only took a lot of these supplements, he even bought Turtle Deer Glue.

It's just that the effect is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Chu Xiangqian could tell from Matsuno's expression and eyes that this little trickster probably wasn't too interested in deer glue.

It's right to think about it. People from the island country have always tried their best to steal whatever good things China has.

Ejiao has been around for 3000 to [-] years, and some islanders must have known about this supplement for a long time.Maybe someone in the island country has already tried to produce supplements like donkey hide gelatin.

No, Chu Xiangqian quickly remembered a piece of news he had seen in his previous life. In 07, donkey-hide gelatin entered the island country's market as a supplement and became the second-largest seller of supplements in the island country in a short period of time.

Then Chu Xiangqian realized that his strategy of selling deer glue to Matsuda was wrong.

He smiled and said to Matsuda, "Matsuda-kun, although we men can also take these kinds of supplements, the tonic effect is the same as when women take it. But men still don't care as much about their appearance as women.

I suggest you take 1 boxes back to try. After all, this is a real tribute from the Celestial Empire. Even Princess Margaret of England has been eating this stuff. "

As soon as Matsuda heard this, his attitude immediately changed.

"Mr. Chu didn't lie to me?"

Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "If I really want to brag, I might as well just say that the Queen will eat it too. And although I have a very good relationship with the nobles in London.

But if the effect doesn't work, Europeans and Americans will not be like us, who will say decent things even if they don't agree in their hearts.

People have been spreading it everywhere for a long time, and I call them liars. "

Matsuda thought that this was really the case, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, then I will bring 100 boxes back to try."

Chu Xiangqian didn't mention money. If the promotion couldn't be promoted, even if the 100 boxes of deer glue were sold for 1 pounds, it would still be far less profitable than the long-term sales.

And Chu Xiangqian immediately decided to change the weight of the 1-pound bag into a half-pound bag.

After all, the export price of 1 pounds per kilogram, or $100, is indeed a bit high.

As for Hong Kong Island, the price is naturally still 1 Hong Kong dollars per pound.

When pharmacies open, they will be sold in large pharmacies.

By then, velvet antlers, deer glue, deer treasures, tiger bones, tiger whips, bear bile, bear paws, wild boar belly and other interesting products will all be sold in pharmacies.

Just with these good things here, plus the various medicinal materials shipped from the mainland, I believe the pharmacy's business will be good.

I made an appointment with Matsuno to have a jar of tiger bone wine and 1 boxes of deer gum delivered to my door tomorrow afternoon.

Chu Xiangqian sent Matsuno away who was looking happy, and was thinking silently, should he find ninja assassins like Ichiro Matsuno to kill the two Japs in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore before he went to London?
However, thinking that Qian Guotai had not asked himself recently when he would kill those two people, Chu Xiangqian was worried that people from the mainland had already been sent to do the job.

If the two sides meet unexpectedly, whether the little trickster dies or not, Chu Xiangqian will not feel bad, but if he hurts one of his own, it will be a sin.

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and decided to wait until he met Qian Guotai to ask about this matter first.

Then he said to Duan Hongchun who was standing next to him, "Old Duan, the tiger liver made today was really good. After the branch opens, I think it can be made into a signature dish."

Duan Hongchun was overjoyed, but then regretted, "It's a pity that not all parts of the tiger are popular."

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that he meant something. After asking, he realized that tiger bones were indeed easy to sell at first, but this thing was too niche.

If it is used to make tiger bone soup, there are people who can afford it, but not everyone is willing to drink it every day.

Customers who can drink once a week are considered really rich.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Okay, I will keep the tiger bones from now on, and the price of the whole head will be 5 less."

Duan Hongchun nodded hurriedly, then hesitated, "Otherwise, the restaurant will need a pair a month to avoid objections from those customers who really like to drink tiger bone soup."

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this at all. Anyway, now there is a stable market for tiger bones. One more or one less will have no impact.

And to be honest, 1 kilograms of tiger bone wine a year only consumes the bones of 1 tigers.

And the game is one head per day, which is 365 heads per year, which cannot be used up at all.

However, since the black tiger was refreshed, because I kept it, the game has not spawned a new tiger for many days.

Thinking of this, after Chu Qianqian and Duan Hongchun separated, they drove directly to a photo studio.

Parking the car in the dark alley, he sat in the driver's seat and looked around through his tits to make sure no one was paying attention to him.

He went directly into the novice village, took out the camera he bought before, and took ten photos of the black tiger locked in the iron cage.

Get back in the car, start the car and go outside the photo studio.

A 100 dollar bill was placed in front of the boss, but within an hour, ten photos appeared in his hand.

Chu, who personally watched the master develop the film, took the film back and went out to find Norton.

After only a few minutes of driving, Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, turned the car around and returned to the photo studio.

I spent 500 yuan to buy a complete set of equipment and chemicals for developing photos, and it can even develop color photos.

To avoid having to come to the photo studio if needed in the future.Moreover, Chu had been watching the master operate just now. After Chu Xiangqian watched it, he naturally learned how to rinse.

When they arrived at the villa on the top of the mountain, before Chu Xiangqian opened his mouth, Norton, who came out to greet him, took the initiative and said, "Master, what do you think of this villa?"

Chu Qianqian was startled. Hong Kong people always prefer the top and mid-levels when buying villas.

But there are really not many Chinese people who can actually live on the top of the mountain.

Even Ho Tung, who was the first to live in the Peak, was of mixed race. Of course, the Ho family was a family that truly integrated itself into Hong Kong and Macau.

Most of the descendants marry Chinese wives, and gradually there are more and more descendants with Chinese faces.

As for the future luxury houses in Repulse Bay, the construction of villas in Deep Water Bay luxury houses has just begun at this time.

Even Lao Li had to wait until 63 to buy a house there.

After Chu Qianqian came to his senses, he asked with a smile, "Could it be that your family just can't get together 50 pounds of antiques and paintings, and you don't have enough cash on hand.

Do you want to sell this villa to me now? "

Norton smiled awkwardly and said, "Master, just guess it, I'd be embarrassed if you couldn't tell me."

Chu Qianqian laughed, "Okay, okay, I apologize."

After that, he handed the portfolio he had been holding to Norton, "Let's go, take me around the villa while you look at the photo of the black tiger."

Norton was ecstatic and hurriedly took out the photos.

After just a few glances, a photo of the black tiger's entire head was taken, revealing a ferocious look, which sent chills down his back.

Chu stepped forward and slapped Norton on the shoulder, "You worthless guy, your master and I fought hand-to-hand with a tiger last year. You are actually scared by a photo."

Norton scratched his head in embarrassment. When he thought of Chu Qianqian fighting a tiger hand-to-hand and killing the tiger, all the fear in his heart turned into admiration for Chu Qianqian.

Otherwise, this kid might have nightmares tonight.

After walking around, Chu Xiangqian was actually quite satisfied with this villa covering an area of ​​1200 square meters.

But for him to live in it alone, it felt too spacious and too ostentatious.

In some circles, you don’t really become a member of this circle just by saying that you have entered.

Chu Xiangqian had no doubt that if he moved here carelessly, many ghost guys living on the top of the mountain would be dissatisfied.

Even business acquaintances like Ge Bai and Hader would feel unhappy inside even if they didn't say it on the surface.

However, it is okay to buy it.

If I remember correctly, after Ho Tung bought a piece of land on the top of the mountain for HKD 6, the villa he built was sold for more than HKD 50 billion a hundred years later.

Besides, if you wait ten or eight years and then move in, the custodian will not dare to say anything.

Moreover, if she gets married to Lan Lan in October and she is willing to follow him to Hong Kong Island in the next year or two after giving birth, then this villa will just be used as her home.

If Lan Lan is not satisfied with her life, then go to Repulse Bay or Deep Water Bay to buy land and build a house.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian immediately decided to buy the villa on the top of the mountain. "How much does this villa cost?"

Norton's expression was overjoyed and he directly offered the price of HK$200 million.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while. A few years later, Lao Li bought the 1500-square-meter mansion in Deep Water Bay for 65.

The land on the top of the mountain is naturally more expensive. It can be said that buying this 200 square meter villa for 1200 million is really not expensive.

Converted into pounds, it's 12.5.

After just thinking for more than ten seconds, Chu Qianqian nodded and said, "Okay, just 200 million Hong Kong dollars. We will go through the formalities tomorrow."

Norton also happily agreed again and again, as for the former owner of this villa.

As early as when Norton came to Hong Kong Island for the first time to watch the ring competition, the owner of the villa gave the villa to Norton, and then he was transferred to London to work.

Of course, the nominal owner of the villa is not Norton, but an offshore fund.

Someone wants to check the owner of this fund, but it is basically impossible in this day and age.

"Master, do you need me to find a team of powerful designers from London to help you redesign and renovate the interior of this villa?"

Chu glanced around the villa hall. Although the furniture, floors, and various decorations felt clean, they did look out of date.

I wanted to agree, but then I thought, why do we have to find a ghost guy?
If you don’t believe in the local designer team on Hong Kong Island, none of them can design the decoration you want.

Moreover, the decoration itself requires the owner to communicate and discuss with the designer.

Maybe my vision is far ahead of the designers in this era.

In this way, we should have better communication with local designers and be more obedient.

And it is better to give local designers a chance to make money than to have all the good things go to ghost guys.

He looked at Norton and shook his head and said, "Forget it, I haven't decided what style to decorate it in yet. Let's talk about it in a few days."

Norton didn't think much about it. Decoration involves privacy. If you ask too much about this kind of thing, you will be disliked.

Holding the photo of the black tiger, he asked, "Master, this tiger looks a little smaller than the previous white tiger?"

Chu nodded forward, "The white tiger is a Siberian tiger, and is naturally much larger than the Bengal tiger. If there are no accidents in the plan, we should be able to reach Hong Kong Island in the next few days.

Will you continue to fly back this time, or go by sea? "

"Of course it will be airlifted," Norton said, and saw Chu Qianqian rolling his eyes at him, and couldn't help being stunned.

I don't understand why my master is like this.

Ward on the side saw this and could only step forward and whispered in Norton's ear, "Mr. Chu means that although it takes a little longer to travel by sea, it is safer.

By the way, during this time, I would like to urge the London Zoo to prepare 100 million pounds as soon as possible. "

Only then did Norton realize that his master was worried that the black tiger had arrived in London and entered the zoo.

The zoo's board of directors will probably delay payment.They even find reasons not to pay them at all.

"Master, don't worry. Even if this tiger enters the London Zoo, no one can exhibit it to the public without the permission of the Mountbatten family."

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while. At this time, Mountbatten had just become the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Ying Kingdom last year.It is the pinnacle of life.

Even the Prime Minister in Downing Street needs his support to securely sit on the Prime Minister's throne.

It is indeed impossible for a London zoo to turn against Mountbatten for a million pounds.
