Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 118 Small profits but quick turnover
You know, I sell small mirror boxes in Yingtianfu. When the price of small mirror boxes has reached its peak, the unit price is only twenty taels of silver. As a consumable, rubber rings, if the unit price Being able to reach a level of 20 taels, its profits and potential are very large!

And you can also get more profits by reducing costs. In the Krypton store, you can still find cheaper rubber rings. There are also ones with a lifespan of ten per day, or even large boxes of [-]. The installation price is less than ten days, and the cost per unit is even lower.

However, one thing should be noted. The rubber ring is disposable. Unlike the casing, which can be cleaned and used repeatedly. Of course, Zhu Tianqi doesn’t know whether the casing is durable or how many times it can be used. Anyway, rubber The product is not good, let alone the second use. The first time it is used, it may break after a long time!

Thinking of this, Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but said to Young Shaoqing: "You won't throw away those rubber rings I gave you after use, right? Those things are disposable, don't even think about washing them. Use it again!”

Young Shaoqing couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. When Zhu Tianqi saw his reaction, he knew that he was probably right. Next, Zhu Tianqi saw a look of regret on young Shaoqing's face. He was also surprised. pitiful!

Zhu Tianqi's heart softened for no reason, and he said: "Throw them away as soon as you get back. If you help me sell these things in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to use them?"

When young Shaoqing heard this, his old face turned red immediately, and he quickly saluted and said: "I don't dare, how dare I misappropriate public property..."

Zhu Tianqi did not continue to argue with him on this matter, but waved his hand and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Regarding the price of this thing, I plan to lower it slightly. Ten taels of silver is a bit expensive. If there are too few people willing to buy it, it will not be conducive to increasing sales!”

When young Shaoqing heard this, he felt that what Zhu Tianqi said was quite reasonable, so he nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty is wise!"

As Zhu Tianqi spoke, he bought some cheap goods from the Krypton Life store and showed them to Young Shaoqing, "There are also some more common ones. The price can be lowered appropriately. As long as the sales volume increases, the profit will be slightly lower." It doesn't matter at all!"

In fact, it is easier to ensure sales and profits for cheap products like this, which have a box lifespan of one day. Each one only needs to be sold for 20 taels of silver. A box of ten can be sold for 20 taels of silver. If the lifespan of one day is exchanged for [-] taels of silver, then Quite a bargain!

As for the previous DLS brand products, they should be regarded as high-end products for those wealthy high-end people to enjoy, and they do not expect to make profits based on sales volume.

After talking about the rubber sleeve, Zhu Tianqi asked about Xiaolan Yaoer: "What is the price of similar drugs on the market?"

Young Shaoqing replied: "Actually, there are many such medicines on the market, but there are very few that are really effective, and even fewer with good effects. If it can achieve the effect of the blue pill given by the emperor, its cost It will definitely be no less than a hundred taels, so I think that if the price of this magical medicine is lower than a hundred taels, it may be difficult to earn the cost of making the medicine!"

Zhu Tianqi smiled after hearing this and said, "You don't have to worry about the cost. The cost of this medicine is far less high than you think. You just need to ensure that each medicine can be sold for 20 taels of silver!" "20 taels?!" Young Shaoqing was immediately shocked when he heard the price. He hurriedly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, this magical medicine that can make dead trees spring into spring and iron trees bloom, is it too low to sell for only 20 taels?"

Zhu Tianqi smiled and said: "Twenty taels is not low anymore. I still say the same thing. Only goods that can be sold are good goods. If you set the price so high, no one can afford it. No matter how high your profit is, What's the use? It's better to set the price lower so that more people can afford it and are willing to buy it, so that you can earn more money!"

Young Shaoqing had already regarded this "little blue medicine" as a miracle medicine. For the low price of 20 taels, he even thought it was blasphemy against the "little blue medicine". However, the emperor had spoken, and he did not dare to violate it. To go against the will of the Holy Spirit is to obey it honestly.

After talking about the rubber ring and the little blue medicine, Zhu Tianqi turned around and took the kerosene lamp from his long book desk to the young man, and said: "Okay, after talking about the improper things, let's It’s time to talk about serious things. Take a look at this lamp first and think it’s worth a few taels of silver.”

Young Shaoqing took the kerosene lamp, first carefully observed the appearance of the kerosene lamp, and said: "Back to the emperor, based on the material and appearance of this lamp, it costs no less than five taels of silver. There are also many Thai and foreign products on the market in Yingtian." It’s an imported candlestick with a crystal glass lampshade, but it’s rare that the glass lampshade is so exquisitely made!”

As the young man spoke, he was still studying the kerosene lamp in his hand. There was only a burned wick at the bottom of the lampshade, but there was no trace of wax. Even if the candle burned out, it would not be so clean. No trace left?However, when Young Shaoqing shook the kerosene lamp, he also felt that the bottom part of the lamp seemed to be hollow and contained some kind of liquid. In this case, the lamp was probably an oil lamp.

Zhu Tianqi seemed to see the doubts in his heart, and said: "Stop flipping around, this is a kerosene lamp, and it relies on adding kerosene as fuel."

"Kerosene?!" Young Shaoqing became even more confused when he heard this. He had already guessed that it was an oil lamp. Although Zhu Tianqi's words confirmed that his guess was correct, but for what Zhu Tianqi said, this This was the first time he had heard of "kerosene" used as fuel for a lamp. He knew both coal and oil, but he didn't know what they were together.

Zhu Tianqi did not give him an in-depth explanation, but said: "You don't have to worry about what kind of oil this 'kerosene' is. In short, no one in the world can make this kind of fuel. I am the only one who can make this kind of fuel." I have it in my hand!"

When young Shaoqing heard this, his eyes suddenly shone, and he said with some excitement: "Your Majesty, if you hold this 'kerosene' in your hand, doesn't it mean that as long as you want to use this kind of lamp, you have to go to Do you want to buy kerosene here? This is a very profitable business!"

Monopoly represents huge profits. This simple and simple truth is deeply understood by both ancient and modern people.

So the question now is, can this kind of kerosene lamp replace the current mainstream lamps and be accepted by people?
Zhu Tianqi didn't talk nonsense to him. He directly picked up a fire stick from the table, blew it and lit the kerosene lamp. The room became brighter in an instant, and his young eyes became brighter at the same time.
