Chapter 85: Let's wait and see!

The bald dragon and Wu Tong were stunned when they heard this, their smiles froze, and they were confused.

Painstakingly getting the snowflake essence salt out, this will make a name for itself again, at this time it should be a big sale and a windfall, but what does the king mean by this?

Don't sell for the time being, don't offer yet, let the merchant bid?

Isn't this a big joke, businessmen are very profitable, so they naturally want to buy at a low price and sell at a high price, how can they bid with their conscience.

If it were in the past, the bald dragon would definitely scold the prince for messing around, but with all the things before, the snowflake essence salt was made by the prince himself, and he spoke obviously much more cautiously:

"Shizi, what do you mean, don't do anything bad. ”

Yao Yun said with a smile: "Strange goods can live, what's so strange about this, doesn't Uncle Long even understand this?"

The bald dragon was dumbfounded when he heard this, as if this was really the case, but it was not a strange thing to live in, it was the merchants who begged their grandfather to tell their grandmother to wave money and grain and treasures to buy snowflake refined salt, and they didn't have to worry at all.

But why would he ask such an idiotic question?

The bald dragon looked embarrassed, the prince had been speaking amazingly before, he thought that the son of the world had some ghost idea, so he seemed a little anxious, and he didn't speak through his brain, who wanted to make a big joke.

Looking at Shizi's strange gaze, the bald dragon old face flushed.

The bald dragon said angrily: "Benlong thought you had some whimsical idea again. ”

"There is an idea, that is, the alabaster salt should be sold, the quantity sold should be small, and there are not many merchants who can buy alabaster salt, and it is best to only buy it by a small number of merchants!"

The bald dragon was puzzled for a moment, but with the digestion that Fang Cai had made without words, he simply kept silent and pretended to be thoughtful.

On the other side, the leisurely and confused Wutong was dumbfounded, and he made snowflake salt just to sell it to merchants to make money and earn grain.

"King, the truth that strange goods can live is old and understandable, but we can't stand up the shelf and not come down, snowflake essence salt is difficult to make when it circulates outside, but we all know that this thing can be mass-produced, it doesn't matter if you sell a little more. ”

Wu Tong paused, and then said: "The king said that he would not sell, and the old man understands, but we always have to sell more or less in each caravan, otherwise people will not be so active next time." ”

Yao Yun continued: "We can't feed all the caravans, if every caravan gets the alabaster salt, then the lie that the alabaster salt is difficult to make will be self-defeating, even if we sell a small quantity, everyone will think that he is not so precious, after all, everyone can buy it when they come, what is precious!"

"Last autumn, Gu found an excuse for the lack of food in the city and sold snowflake salt, they don't think there is a problem, but if they still sell it aggressively, it will be inappropriate. ”

"It doesn't matter if many merchants can't buy it, it won't hit them, businessmen are profit-seeking, only profitable, they are fearless, they never give up, even if they are fierce beasts and monsters in the way, they can clean it up, the more precious, the more profitable, the more businessmen like it. ”

"This ......"

Second Elder Wu Tong pondered for a moment, and also felt that it made sense: "What the king said makes some sense. ”

Yao Yun smiled and continued: "The more precious and difficult things to obtain, the more they attract the attention of the world, it is one thing for us to sell snowflake refined salt to make money, the most important thing is to make a name for themselves, so that the surrounding vassal states know about snowflake refined salt, and then they have poured into Xidu of Xiguo, so that Xidu will become more and more prosperous, compared to money and grain, this is the most important." ”

Wu Tong and the bald dragon looked at each other.

The bald dragon was stunned: "So, we can't make a fortune?"

Yao Yun said with a smile: "Who said that you can't make a fortune, this kind of business that is the only one in the world depends not on selling more, but on selling fame and rarity, the less we sell, the rarer it seems, and the more we earn!"

In fact, the methods of hunger marketing in the previous life have been used rotten, and it is not surprising to say it, but for Wutong and Bald Dragon, it is strangely tight.

One person and one dragon will be suspicious and feel reasonable, but they have no experience and cannot make judgments, and they are not sure.

Wu Tong groaned: "Is it really as the king said, the less you sell, the more you can earn, the more beneficial it is for Xidu?"

Yao Yun nodded reasonably: "In the long run, there is no doubt about it. ”

At this moment, Wu Tong and the bald dragon were a little unconvinced.

It is no wonder that they do not believe that in this ancient era, although commercial trade began to rise gradually, it was still in a primitive state, and most of the merchants relied on their own understanding to ponder, strange goods to live in, relying on information asymmetry in various places, reselling things to make huge profits.

If you think about this, you are actually a qualified businessman.

After all, most of the world's businessmen make money from this hand.

Deeper business activities are not thought about.

Yao Yun who crossed over thought more than Wu Tong and Bald Dragon, in his eyes, the wealth earned by Snowflake Essence Salt was only superficial benefits, and Yao Yun valued the caravan that continued to arrive in Xidu.

When the caravan comes to Xidu, they always have to eat, so there will be restaurants in Xidu, and Xidu's new food, soy milk, tofu brain, and noodles will also spread, which can make money;

The caravan came, the boat was tired, and it was always necessary to stay in the hotel, so the inns were opened, and they could make money;

When the caravan comes, it is impossible to buy only snowflake salt, and other things must also be exchanged, which is another profitable business;

......

Snowflake refined salt is just a thing to attract bricks and jade, it is a means to attract others to Xidu, what can really make Xidu prosperous is the rise of all walks of life, the higher the income of the people, the more taxes can be collected in Xidu.

Wu Tong and Bald Dragon didn't think so deeply, in their concept, doing business is a hammer thing, selling at a high price is a profit, buying at a low price is a loss, how can they link the transaction of a small item with the future prosperity of Xidu.

The bald dragon frowned and asked, "Shizi, then how are you going to sell alabaster salt?"

Yao Yun was confident: "Gu has long asked the salt mill to stop refining snowflake refined salt, or refining the coarse salt in the past, and the snowflake refined salt does not produce too much per month, ten stones is enough." ”

Stone is a unit of volume, in this world, a stone of rice is about 100 catties, and the fine particles of snowflake salt are small, dense, a stone of salt is heavier than a stone of rice, generally higher than 100 catties.

Ten stones is more than 1,000 catties, which is not a small number, but salt is a necessity, no one can leave him, the consumption is huge, and this more than 1,000 catties is not enough.

The bald dragon was surprised: "This is too little, it's only ten stones!"

Yao Yun shook his head: "It's already a lot, I harvested so much grain last year, and it only cost twenty or thirty stones, and most of the sales were coarse salt." ”

Wu Tong: "It's still a little little, salt is a necessity, it will be consumed every day, ten stones sounds like a lot, but it's not much at all." ”

Yao Yun smiled: "Snowflake refined salt is sold to nobles, it is a luxury thing, the smaller the quantity, the more precious it is, and the price will be high and scary." ”

The bald dragon pouted: "It's only ten stones, even if it is sold at a high price, it won't make much money, it's really nonsense!"

Yao Yun was speechless, it is true that he can earn a lot of money by selling alabaster salt, but without rarity, the greatest value of alabaster salt will no longer exist, and his fame will decline, after all, there are many rare things in the world, and people will not keep staring at alabaster salt.

He didn't think about making a fortune purely on alabaster salt, what he wanted was to use alabaster salt to attract a large number of caravans to drive the development of the entire Xidu.

It's a pity that Yao Yun's thoughts Wu Tong and the bald dragon can't be understood for the time being, looking at their strange and questioning looks, Yao Yun suddenly has a feeling that everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober.

Then wait and see!
