Chapter 462: Liu Xian's speed of making money
Next, Liu Xian is doing his best to do a good job in his shop in Luoyang.
There are many shops in Luoyang, and there are shops selling all kinds of commercial goods and groceries, so Liu Xian opened a shop in Luoyang, which is actually just a trivial matter. If it weren't for the fact that it had some businesses in the independent market, and it could still attract the general public to use the goods they needed, then Liu Xian's shop was nothing, just one of the countless shops.
On Zhengnan Street in Luoyang City, Liu Xian finally managed to set up a shop here. It has now been refurbished.
The camp of the Liu Mansion caravan outside the city, the goods piled up in the camp, have been successively moved into the Wuyong Marquis' Mansion, and then a batch has been moved to this shop on Zhengnan Street.
Liu's shop, this is the name that Liu Xian chose for this shop at random.
The floor area of this shop is not large, but it is almost 100 square meters.
Liu Xian had people make shelves like those in later shopping malls, and then filled the shelves with goods.
For the time being, the main products are toothbrushes, soaps, etc.
In order to promote these goods, Liu Xian has also had people copy a lot of notices and post them in conspicuous places in the city a few days ago.
Liu Xian has been preparing for a long time in order to make money from these daily necessities, until now, Liu Xian feels that the time is ripe, so he officially launched these goods.
Toothbrushes and other daily necessities, the key is a creative invention, but it itself is not too high technical content, as long as there are samples, ordinary people take samples to study and study, it is possible to make them manually.
Therefore, Liu Xian does not think that this commodity is a major commodity that can be operated for a long time. When the copycat version of the toothbrush appears, it will be difficult for this object to sell at a high price in the future, so it may continue to be manufactured and sold in the future, and it will definitely make money, but Liu Xian will not mainly operate this.
In addition, because of the advent of toothbrushes, there will also be similar products, such as some clothes brushes and so on.
But now there is no such object in this world, so Liu Xian's price for such a small object is relatively high.
A small toothbrush, Liu Xian sold it for 500 yuan. Converted, it is about more than 100 yuan in later generations. This, in fact, can be regarded as Liu Xian's conscience, even if the price is relatively expensive, it is not too expensive. In later generations, a brand-name toothbrush generally costs more than ten yuan, and this alone, at most, is about ten times more expensive than the general toothbrush in later generations, which is really not too outrageous. You must know that this is in ancient times, and for the time being, only Liu Xian's family has this kind of thing for sale.
If you have a toothbrush, you will have toothpaste.
The production method of toothpaste is not too complicated, and it can even be made without Liu Xian's experiment. Of course, they are all simple paste-like items made using the clay method. To put it simply, use baking soda, fine sea salt, peppermint essential oil, and an appropriate amount of water. Among them, essential oils are simply extracted from plants, and can also be replaced by other plant essential oils. The most relevant thing is baking soda, which is also considered a pure chemical.
But it's also a relatively simple chemical to obtain.
Soda is actually anhydrous sodium carbonate, also known as stone alkali and soda ash. Fortunately, it is not too complicated to get this, and you can get soda by using salt, sulfuric acid, coal, limestone, etc. as raw materials.
Well, Liu Xian is not a scientist, but those memories in Liu Xian's mind are really cheating, it is really like an encyclopedia implanted in Liu Xian's mind, as long as Liu Xian has heard and seen things in his previous life, they will be very clearly reproduced.
It just so happened that Liu Xian did search for ways to make toothpaste on the Internet in the postmodern era. Originally, in the postmodern era, Liu Xian also forgot after reading it, but instead, this returned to the Three Kingdoms era, these things that I have seen, as long as the memory is triggered, will appear clearly in Liu Xian's mind.
This toothpaste was not made by Liu Xian himself, but he told his trusted subordinates in Liulin Village to supervise the production method and make it according to the method.
The toothpaste is made in a small wooden box with a relatively delicate level. When you need to use it, just open the wooden box and pick out a little bit to brush your teeth. A box is the size of a fist, and Liu Xian also sells it for 500 yuan a box.
In this way, a toothbrush and a box of toothpaste will cost a total of 1,000 yuan, which is just the usual money.
This price is not outrageous for the current situation of Dahan, and it can even be said that it is not too expensive.
You must know that now a pound of rice grain is basically still above the price of ten yuan. It is equivalent to the price of 100 catties of rice grain.
For ordinary people, they are naturally reluctant to spend a thousand dollars to buy a toothbrush and a box of toothpaste, because they estimate that they don't have so much money to spare.
Now, this first batch of toothbrush and toothpaste, the guests targeted by Liu Xian, are actually these people in the middle and high-end classes of society.
For this middle and high-class people, the price set by Liu Xian is not only not expensive, but too cheap.
Liu Xian can actually live in strange goods, and be bold enough to raise the price again. But Liu Xian mainly considers that this kind of thing that is not too high-tech will be known and used by the general public sooner or later, if he sells it too outrageously now, then others will be afraid that in the future, they will point to Liu Xian's backbone and scold Liu Xian for being too greedy.
On the day of the official sale, Liu Xian was also watching the situation to see if it could cause a sensation in Luoyang.
Liu Xian had already asked people to publicize in Luoyang in advance, so on the day of the opening of Liu's shop, it was indeed very lively, and there were many guests gathered in front of the shop.
But at the beginning, the people gathered in front of the shops in Liu's Mansion were actually watching the excitement.
Toothbrushes and toothpaste, something they've never heard of. People in this ancient era, in fact, really don't have the concept of brushing their teeth, generally said to rinse their mouths, if there are conditions, they use willow branches and green salt to rinse their mouths, and if there are no conditions, at most they will rinse their mouths with a few mouthfuls of water.
Therefore, ordinary people, as long as they speak with one mouth, they will really fly with a full mouth. Liu Xian really hates this situation, and many times, Liu Xian is really easy not to talk to people face to face at close range. I really can't stand it.
But good things are good things.
Liu Xian had people demonstrate how to use it in front of the guests, and then introduced the benefits of brushing their teeth to the guests one by one. In order to attract guests, Liu Xian asked people to make toothpaste, which also has a variety of flavors. But no matter what kind of flavor it is, it's a fragrant taste.
Or mint or jasmine.
The demonstrator, when he opened his mouth to speak, the breath that came out was with a faint fragrance.
This immediately attracted the interest of those guests.
Soon, there were customers who bought it.
This someone started and turned on the rush mode.
Luoyang, there are many ordinary people, but there are also many middle and high-class people, a thousand yuan, for ordinary people, they are definitely not willing to spend, but for people in the middle and high classes of society, a thousand yuan? It's really just wet and crumbling.
I brushed my teeth, and my lips and teeth were fragrant!
I brushed my teeth and spat fragrantly!
After brushing his teeth, my husband's mouth no longer stinks.
After brushing his teeth, good friends don't have to sit far away to talk anymore......
……
If it was just a toothbrush, it might not cause much of a stir in Luoyang City, but with the addition of a toothpaste that turns decay into magic, the situation is different.
In just one day, more than 10,000 toothbrushes and toothpastes were sold in Liu's shop, and toothbrushes and toothpaste were also known in this day.
More than 10,000 toothbrushes and toothpaste, which is equivalent to more than 10 million dollars.
Liu Xian didn't need so much money to buy his new mansion from Wang Yun, and the turnover of this day was equivalent to buying several Wuyong Marquis mansions.
But this is just one day, and with this reputation flying, I believe that it will be a time for Liu Xian to grab money frantically in the near future. This is Liu Xian's unique business, others can't rob it, they will only be jealous that Liu Xian is robbing money.
Luoyang Beijing, the resident population, about more than 100 2 million, and then there will be more than 1 million or even more floating population.
More than 10,000 sets of toothbrushes and toothpaste were sold on the first day.
The half-meter-sized wooden box can hold thousands of toothbrushes in one box. A total of 200 boxes were packed, which is also why Liu Xian asked people to collect materials and start making toothbrushes since he started to make them, so that this batch was produced, a total, that is, about one million.
There was no way, Liu Xian didn't let people go all out to produce this, and there were other things to make.
After buying more than one million pieces, they will have to be transported back to Liulin City. Of course, Liu Xian thinks that this million or so can't be sold out in Luoyang. It should be said that there are enough stocks here in Luoyang for the time being.
But don't worry about whether to sell out, because Dahan is not only Luoyang, there are so many cities, as long as this reputation spreads from Luoyang, then it will also bring a lot of business opportunities. Liu Xian plans to sell them to merchants in other places at wholesale prices at that time, so that they can sell their goods to various parts of the Han Dynasty, and they will make some money from the difference.
Liu Xian believes that such daily necessities that can greatly facilitate people's lives, improve people's quality of life, bring them a lot of convenience, and have endless benefits, will soon be accepted by the people, and in the future, they will also enter everyone's daily life. Until finally it becomes a necessity, and then it becomes an ordinary object.
Follow-up, in Luoyang, there is really no one who talks about the toothbrush and toothpaste of Liu Xian's Liu Mansion shop.
This toothbrush and toothpaste has also become a noble and convenient thing, with many special meanings. It's a new trend, and everyone seems to be proud to be able to use a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Every morning, when they get up and brush their teeth with a toothbrush and toothpaste, what they want to do most is to go out of the house, walk to the neighbor's house, and spit out a mouthful of fragrance to the neighbor, as if they want to tell people on purpose, look, we bought a toothbrush and toothpaste, do you smell it? It's all fragrant when we breathe out......
The neighbor who was sprayed with the fragrance was dissatisfied, this is here to show off, isn't it just to buy a toothbrush and toothpaste? What's the big deal...... However, this old guy next door, in the past, when he spoke with one mouth, others had to retreat, but now, his bad breath is gone, it seems to be really fragrant, no! Let's buy it today.
Han Luoyang, the kind of middle-class people who have a fixed source of livelihood and live a decent life, they can afford to buy it, but it is just a matter of whether they need it. However, when it becomes a trend, and when it becomes a pretentious item, they will follow suit and buy it.
Those wealthy merchants, noble families, court officials and magnates, etc., these are not short of this little money.
The point is, this toothbrush and toothpaste are really easy to use.
Such a fresh and rare thing, and a useful daily necessities, this is not to be said, you must have it.
Those who are really rich do not buy one and a half sticks when they buy them, but dozens and hundreds of them.
For more than ten consecutive days, the turnover of Liufu's shops has been increasing day by day, and hundreds of thousands of pieces have been sold.
After more than ten days of hot sales, everyone in Luoyang City is indeed known. Moreover, the really rich families are almost one per person.
Slowly, the sales in Luoyang have almost reached a saturated state. Of course, this is not real saturation, this business, there will always be business. Toothbrushes can be damaged and toothpaste will run out.
If the price is reduced, the remaining hundreds of thousands are estimated to be snapped up soon.
But Liu Xian doesn't want to reduce the price for the time being, because if the price is reduced too quickly, then the customers who bought it earlier will have a bad impression of the Liufu shop.
In fact, before the appearance of the village, Liu Xian did not plan to reduce the price immediately.
Because Liu Xian doesn't think that in the short term, he will be able to let toothbrushes enter the homes of ordinary people.
This business is indeed just starting now.
In the past ten days, Liu Xian has scavenged hundreds of millions of dollars, and it can really be said that he has made a lot of money. It's not that fast to grab money.
And Liu Xian's fact that he made hundreds of millions of dollars in a short period of time was finally noticed by someone with a heart.
At the same time, some people are starting to get red-eyed.
If a person earns millions in business, others will only be amazed, and if he earns 10 million, he will only say that it is amazing. But what about hundreds of millions? What about hundreds of millions?
Moreover, this is still in this short period of more than ten days to earn hundreds of millions, I believe that it will be a billion in the near future, what about the future? Billion?
What the hell is this? Have you made all the money in the world alone?
Liu Xian opened Liu's shop, which caused a sensation in Luoyang in a short period of time, and some people still performed it in front of the emperor.
Or it can be said that Liu Xian's speed of making money has caused panic among many people.
