Northern Song Dynasty: It’s a showdown, who said I, Zhao Zhen, don’t have a son?

Chapter 100 Too expensive?Don’t buy it if it’s too expensive!

In Fan Louzhong.

"Brother, the spies got information from Zhao He. They said that the vendors on Chonghe Street must keep secrets during the recent period and never leak the ingredients of the soap..."

Jiang Yuanshan sneered: "This kid still wants to make a fool of himself under the light? Nowadays, the soap sold in Ningxiang Nei costs 5000 to [-] yuan. Where can these things come from? It doesn't come from Chonghe Street. ?”

"What a trick. You actually let these vendors on Chonghe Street help with production. Do you really think we can't find out?"

One person immediately said: "They are just some traders, so what benefits can Zhao He give? It is just some benefits, but now this soap can make tens of thousands of dollars a day, how can they not be tempted?"

"Let's see what bottom line these traders can have. Send people to dig them out. Just ask for high prices. If there is any unwillingness, use their family members to coerce them. But let's see how hard these people's bones are. We must take this thing away." Dig out the recipe!”

"If I, Fan Lou, accept this thing, the benefits will be great..."

These days, Ningxiang still maintains a huge number of customers, and some people come for three or four days in a row. In order to buy more soaps and soaps, they don't mind bringing more people to buy with them, including Some traders either disassemble it to study its formula, or take it to further places for resale.

After all, this thing is only available in Bianjing now. It has never been seen in other places. If you buy it for ten guan and sell it to you for [-] guan, you are willing to spend money!
Businessmen who saw the business opportunities came to buy them one after another, but their priority was also behind those powerful women.

For a time, a soap craze swept the entire capital, which was truly spectacular.

On the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a group of foreigners with pure white skin, curly hair and plain white gowns came to Ningxiang. For a time, they attracted the attention of countless people.

"Who is this?"

"Gold...golden monkey?"

"What you say is too damaging. It looks like you are a cannibal. People from foreign countries come by boat to do business and make a lot of money..."

Seeing this, the clerk immediately came forward to entertain him.

"We like the soaps and soaps you have here and need a lot of them. We are not short of money."

Hearing this movement, everyone was also filled with emotion.

"Wealthy and powerful!"

"These people are engaged in maritime trade, and the money they make from the storms comes at the cost of their lives. At least eight out of ten ships sink every year."

"Mom, who dares to make this kind of money? Suddenly I don't envy you anymore..."

Listening to the poor official language of the Song Dynasty, the clerk also said: "The rules of the store are that you can only buy two pieces of all soaps and soaps. If you want to do big business, you have to talk to our owner."

The golden retriever's face immediately turned ugly: "We, the Great Eaters, want to do your business, so we need to buy in limited quantities. Do you know how big our business can be at one time?"

The clerk remained calm and said: "Rules are rules and cannot be broken. Anyone from Bianjing who comes to buy cannot break the rules."

The golden retriever still roared: "We are big cannibals, we"

Not far away, Zhao He also heard the noise and came over. When he saw the three people, he was surprised and said: "Xie Xun! There are still three!"

The three golden retrievers looked puzzled: "Xie Xun? Who is that?"

Zhao He then raised his hands and said, "My lord, Zhao He, is the owner of Ningxiang. How many Xie Langjun are here to do business?"

Several people looked at each other and began to communicate in their own languages.

"What is Xie Xun?"

"Thank you in the Central Plains. It expresses gratitude. It must be a respectful title for us." "Why does my name sound like the name of someone from the Central Plains?"

"It doesn't matter anymore. We are here to discuss business anyway. Since this person is the boss here, just talk to him."

After a few people finished discussing, they immediately looked at Zhao He: "We are businessmen from the Arab Empire. We have traveled thousands of miles to the Song Dynasty and want to buy your soap and soap."

In this period, those who engage in maritime trade are ruthless people. Not being afraid of death is the most important thing. What is more important is having money in their pockets. Moreover, the appearance of these three people makes them look like big customers.

Zhao He then smiled and said: "Since we are talking about business, let's invite him in."

The three of them were immediately invited into the tea room, and Zhao He quickly made tea and handed it to the three of them.

The leader quickly introduced him. His name was relatively long, and Zhao He only remembered the three words Marcelo.

"Hello, Zhao. I believe you know our purpose here. We have already seen your soap. It is a very beautiful item. If possible, we would like to make a deal with you."

"But your shop assistant outside is very unfriendly. He said that all items can only be purchased in limited quantities. The small amount is not very attractive to us. We heard that if we want to do big business, we can come to you."

Zhao He nodded: "I set the rules outside. I am afraid that some people will buy too much and others will not be able to buy it. But since we are doing overseas trade, I am also happy to reach cooperation."

Several people were immediately overjoyed, and Marcelo, the leader, said: "In that case, Zhao, then we can discuss the price directly. I can understand the different prices of your soap and soap. We need at least 1 yuan." Top quality soap!”

"In terms of price, please give us a price that is satisfactory to both of us. If it is suitable, then we can sign a contract."

Hearing what Marcelo said, Zhao He also nodded vigorously: "You also know that in the eyes of the commercial tax in our Song Dynasty, especially for foreign exports, I originally did not plan to do sea trade during this period, but you They all came to our door..."

He then stretched out two fingers and gave the price: "Twenty pieces a piece, how about it?"

The commercial economy of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, but there were extremely many taxes on all aspects. It would be better if it was only sold locally. Once overseas trade is involved, various taxes will hit together, including goods taxes, trade taxes, tariffs, etc. , the total amount can reach about 30.00% of product sales!
Although the cost is there, it's less than a hundred cents, but since we want to make money, we definitely can't calculate the profit based on the cost, we must calculate the profit from the selling price.

They seemed to want a price of less than [-] guan, but even if it was a piece of soap worth [-] guan, he could only earn [-] guan. He might as well earn more by selling it on his own land. Who would do this kind of loss-making business?

But when they heard the quotation, the three people were stunned for a moment: "Zhao, you mean [-] yuan a piece, which is [-] copper coins of your Song Dynasty?"

Zhao He nodded without changing his expression: "That's the price."

"Twenty strings?!"

"Why is it twice as expensive as buying it in Da Song Dynasty? Zhao, you are really a lunatic. I think you don't want to do business with us at all. How could you do this!"

Zhao He waved his hand: "Twenty guan a piece, even after paying the tax, I don't make much, so I have the motivation to do business with you big cannibals. If the price is [-] guan, I'm afraid I might as well sell it here. Do you think I sold it too low or too high?"

Hearing this, Marcelo and others immediately became even more angry. Their original plan was to keep the soap within ten dollars, the lower the better. After all, the more expensive it was, the more money they would have to spend. The more taxes you pay, the more taxes you pay, but the other party actually opens his mouth and asks for [-] yuan? !

Marcelo immediately said angrily: "The cost of your soap is definitely not that expensive, you must make a lot of money!"

"We are here to do business with you sincerely, don't go too far!"

Zhao He spread his hands and said, "Forget it if you don't want to buy it. Go buy it from another store. I'll pay this price."

The attitude is firm but also casual.

Do you want to do this business or not? I am the only one in Bianjing anyway...
