Chapter 255: Profiteer Wang Xuan
Just when the eldest grandson Wuji and others went to wash, Wang Xuan, a profiteer, pulled Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin and told them a series of things about the sale of soap and soap.
At first, listening to Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin's excitement, I felt that I was going to make a lot of money this time, but as Wang Xuan told more, especially when Wang Xuan said that later, this industry should implement the policy of small profits and quick turnover.
Don't say that Cheng Biting Jin is gone, even Li Shimin, who has always been very assertive, doesn't do it, and they all feel that Wang Xuan is having trouble with money.
This made Wang Xuan have to squirt Li Shimin there, saying that he didn't have any foresight as an emperor, so he thought about the small profits in front of him.
Of course, this couldn't convince Li Shimin, so he quarreled with Wang Xuan there.
But Li Shimin is so good, he can listen to the persuasion of others, and in the quarrel, he understands what Wang Xuan means.
And as Wang Xuan spoke, the more he understood what Wang Xuan wanted to express.
That's nothing more than soap, soap, these things are the necessities of people's daily life, and if the price is too high, it will inevitably not be able to enter the homes of ordinary people.
But if you want to make it a necessity, you must make it a luxury in the eyes of the princes and nobles in the early stage, and these princes and nobles will first go to meet the fashion, and when these things are known to the people, then the price will be reduced, or even greatly reduced, so that the people can buy it, and the people will naturally buy it.
In this way, the soap and soap will slowly become a necessity, and the soap and soap are consumables, and you have to buy them when you run out, so you won't be unable to sell them.
Of course, Wang Xuan told Li Shimin these things in order to improve the people's complete health problems.
After all, the phrase "disease comes from the mouth", Wang Xuan heard it since he was a child in his previous life, and the soap that happened to have a good sterilization effect was the cheapest and cheapest good thing to eliminate germs.
But as soon as it comes up, it is simply unrealistic to say that people should pay attention to personal hygiene and prevent diseases from entering the mouth.
Even if you want to publicize, it is more than worth the loss, after all, the current illiteracy rate in the Tang Dynasty is as high as ninety, and you want these illiterate people to understand what personal hygiene is, and what is disease from the mouth, which is really more difficult than ascending to the sky.
And to spend so much manpower and material resources to do something that may not be of the slightest use, it is even more stupid than a fool.
But if Wang Xuan's method is used, not only will the people be willing to do it, but they will even be proud of it, after all, the psychology of the Chinese people who are important and noble has been engraved in their bones.
Therefore, in this way, it can not only greatly increase the likelihood of people getting sick, but also inhibit the risk of virus transmission to a certain extent, and also bring considerable income.
After understanding this, Li Shimin immediately changed his face and praised Wang Xuan.
Wang Xuan was quite disgusted by Li Shimin's shameless behavior, but because he was a guest today, he couldn't say anything.
On the contrary, Cheng Yanjin on the side didn't understand it, but seeing that the two big guys had said it, he couldn't say anything, so he could only go down and wash up first.
Later, after the eldest Sun Wuji and others came out, they all couldn't put down soap and soap, and asked Wang Xuan if he could sell something to them.
In this regard, Wang Xuan, we will forget this best publicity opportunity and tell everyone the price of soap and soap on the spot.
Of course, when Wang Xuan said the price, he called the soap making process cumbersome, and the purpose was naturally to make money.
This is not after Wang Xuan blew it randomly, a small piece of soap cost 300 yuan, and the soap was less, but it reached 180 yuan, which can be said to be more robbing money than grabbing money.
But the eldest grandson Wuji and they were all convinced, which made Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin, who knew the truth in the field, almost drop their jaws one by one!
Secret Dao Wang Xuan is a big profiteer, just the soap that costs less than two pennies, you sell it for more than a hundred times the price, saying that he is not a profiteer, so who is a profiteer.
Even Cheng Yanjin knew that if the scale was up, the price and cost of that piece of soap would be lower, which made him glad that he had a thigh in his arms.
However, of course, Wang Xuan would not sell it to the eldest grandson Wuji at such a price, not only gave them a 50% discount on the spot, but also told them that when the cost is controlled, the price will be lower, and announced on the spot that the person who came to congratulate his son today will get 16 pieces of soap and 20 yuan of soap in return when he goes back.
In this way, the eldest grandson Wuji who was present praised Wang Xuan's benevolence and righteousness.
In this regard, Wang Xuan smiled honestly and said no, no.
This made Li Shimin and Cheng Yanjin, two people who knew the inside story, secretly scold Wang Xuan for being shameless.
However, they did not expose Wang Xuan, not to mention that they all had a part in it, just for the benefit of Wang Xuan to the Tang Dynasty, they would not expose Wang Xuan.
After complimenting each other, Wang Xuan said that he still had to go to greet the guests, so he said goodbye and left, let Cheng Yanjin help him greet him well, and informed the next person that the food was almost ready.
As soon as Wang Xuan left and Li Shimin left, the eldest grandson Wuji and others chatted there one by one, and the scene was quite lively.
And with the arrival of familiar guests, the scene became even more lively.
After waiting for important guests, such as Sister Li Xin and their princesses, as well as many Guogong counties, Wang Xuan also hurried in to accompany the guests.
As for the other guests who couldn't enter the Anguo Mansion, they were greeted by Li Fu, the head of the Anguo Mansion, outside.
And those neighbors, Wang Xuan, asked Lianzhi and her father's family to help greet them.
Anyway, these have already been arranged, and Wang Xuan is responsible for entertaining the eldest Sun Wuji and their group of important ministers in the court, as well as the important guests he invited such as Sun Simiao.
Li Fu was responsible for entertaining those officials below the third rank and the third grade, as well as a number of county boys.
Wang Xuan's father-in-law, Liu Ji, was in charge of the neighborhoods of Yongyangfang and the subordinates brought by those officials.
As for Chang'an City, in front of the royal restaurants everywhere, it was also full of people, and it was a lively scene.
It can be said that in order to celebrate Wang Xuan's son, the entire Chang'an and the surrounding counties are lively.
However, the most lively is the Anguo Houfu, and this banquet will not disperse until the end of the day.
By the time Wang Xuan sent all the guests out of the door, it was almost time.
"Mom, I'm really tired today, Li Fu will leave the rest to you," said Wang Xuan, dragging his tired body back to his small courtyard.
However, on the way back, he was still thinking about the performances of those dancing girls and musicians who were called from the palace today, although it was good, but Wang Xuan still felt that it was almost interesting, which made him determined to do it himself again.
