Chapter 14 Small toothbrushes, big deals
"Brother Zhi, Brother Zhi, what kind of printing technology do you have, Uncle Li and they did it!"
In the distance, Zhuang Daya, dressed in a green shirt, jumped over on the field stalk, like a large toad.
After noon in summer, the scorching sun, only in the early morning can have a short coolness, Li Zhi has just completed more than 100 times of stone lock lifting, after this period of recovery and promotion, he has been able to easily adapt to more than 30 catties of stone lock practice.
Spit out the hay in his mouth, Li Zhi casually threw down the stone lock, and tried his best to stretch his already sorely swollen arm, which was Xue Li's requirement for his lack of innate strength, and it had to be completed every day.
After worshipping Xue Li as a teacher, Li Zhi's identity is completely different.
Two days ago, Cao Lao'er sent his example, two pieces of money, and solemnly explained that this money is the same as the little boy in the swaddling clothes, not much at all, but also a lot!
Li Zhi didn't care about this, but Li Quanhu asked him to go to Xue Li's house to thank him very seriously.
Li Zhi had no choice but to respond, but he didn't know how to tell his father that a toothbrush business alone had already allowed him to take over the key to the Xue family's treasury from his sister Liu, and hundreds of treasures were available!
At that time, using Xue Li's connections, ordering materials from the West Market, and then stocking up a large number of goods in a month, the Liu family used to control the family's money and food, and their support for Li Zhi was undoubtedly huge.
After negotiating with Li Zhi several times, he simply put the key to the storehouse at home in Li Zhi's hand temporarily.
With money in hand, Li Zhi prepared a full inventory at one time, nearly 500,000 toothbrushes.
Li Zhi's Zhuangzi has become the most basic handicraft processing area, with the participation of men, women and children, working day and night for a month, thanks to the assembly line operation, otherwise, the output can reach 200,000 yuan.
In other words, the Liu family didn't expect Li Zhi to be so bold, in just one month, he dared to hollow out the Xue family's family, after all, he was not very relieved in his heart, so he forcibly pulled Xue Li and quietly came to the village, even if Xue Li didn't care about money and things, he was a little dizzy when he saw the toothbrushes in the two warehouses.
The Liu family is even more unbearable, she is a shrewd woman, but she is also limited by her vision, her legs are a little weak at that time, if she can't sell it, then his Xue family will really have to fight the autumn wind.
Li Zhi saw her concerns at a glance, invited the two into the house, carefully explained and analyzed their marketing strategies, and finally sent the two who seemed to understand and did not understand home.
"Madam, do you understand what this stinky boy said?"
"I understand, I understand, but his method is unheard of, what hunger marketing, herd effect, although it sounds reasonable, but I'm really afraid of ......"
"Hah! It's good to make sense, as long as this kid doesn't do something infamous, even if he loses his pants, Lao Tzu will give him a backing! ”
"As far as you, the master, should be heroic, I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will also be bareheaded, and you master and apprentice will beg for food for me!"
Liu scolded with a smile, remembering the hardships of the entire Xue family before her husband joined the army...... In an instant, he relaxed like her husband, and it was a big deal, no matter how bad it was, could she still be poorer than before?
Of course, Li Zhi didn't know the conversation between the two masters after he left, at this time, not to mention the Liu family, it was himself, even if he was confident, he could only guarantee the return of the capital, as for profit, let it be fate, after all, this was the first drop of ink he threw in the pool of Datang......
In recent days, there is a new thing in Pingkangfang in Chang'an City, the guests come to bed every night, after getting up early, there are turtle slaves to offer a kind of thing called a toothbrush, fine bristles, sprinkle some mint mud and fine salt foam, gently brush the teeth after rinsing the mouth with water, the mouth is fragrant, people feel refreshed.
The whole process is exquisite and elegant under Li Zhi's careful planning, full of sense of ceremony, even the toothbrush handle is also made of cork, which is round and delicate to the touch, and there are a few strokes on it to outline a simple lady picture, which is even more reverie to use, of course, the price is also very powerful, and it is not at all consumed by ordinary people.
But since ancient times, what kind of place is the green building? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a gold cave, most of the people who can stay overnight are not short of those few dollars of silver, so, whether it is a prostitute or a benefactor, all praise this thing, the person who used to be full of bad breath finally dared to approach others to talk to him, don't underestimate this step away, many times it means success or failure!
Ministers don't have to go to court with tea or herbs in their mouths every day, and they always feel that the distance is more intimate every time they hook their shoulders.
In just a few days, whether in the market or in the mansion in Chang'an City, this novelty is always unavoidable in the topic, and many people who are clean and self-conscious also want to, but there is no sale on the market at present, and the only channel is the major Red Mansion Chu Pavilion, which is very tangled, is it to go? Let's go!
Finally, a small store in the West Market hung a sign selling toothbrushes.
For a time, the crowd was like a market!
The first batch of Li Zhi only released 150,000 mid-range toothbrushes, that is, qualified products, and sold them at ten times the cost price, ten cents, that is, the money of three pieces of bread.
In just three days, it was sold out, and most of them were thousands of large orders!
Li Zhi had expected this, and there were many people who took a fancy to this business! Therefore, except for a few people who get a single order, the rest have been robbed by major merchants.
Major merchants hurriedly increased the price to sell, and Li Zhi's toothbrush shop only had a limited supply of a small amount of stock every day.
This lasted for a few days, and there began to be a large number of toothbrush sellers on the street, the same craftsmanship, but the shoddy production was some, but the price was cheap, each price ranged from three to four pennies, and it was deeply loved by the masses.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that Chang'an City has a population of nearly one million, and there are less than one in ten rich people, and the low-end market is the place where the real volume can go.
Soon, most of the inventory was sold out, and all kinds of imitation toothbrushes began to appear on the street, and many of them had caught up with the mid-range goods that Li Zhi had just sold out.
At this time, Li Zhi still has nearly 50,000 high-quality products in his hands, but he doesn't plan to sell them like crazy anymore, the capital has already been recovered, and the net profit has already reached more than 3,700 yuan, fortunately, there is silver payment between merchants, otherwise it is all copper coins, it is estimated that the Xue family's treasury will have to be expanded immediately!
I have to say that the consumption power of the people in Chang'an far exceeds Li Zhi's expectations!
In addition to paying attention to the sales of low-end toothbrushes, he also spent a lot of money to invite several painters and wood carving and jade carving craftsmen, and the combination of the two compartments is ready to enter the high-end market......
Recently, the money pushed in from the back door of the Xue family every day has made the Liu family go from shock at the beginning, to numbness, and then to heartbeat.
It turned out that on the first day of the real sale, the cost of the family had been fully recovered, and then, the money that entered the door every day did not decrease but increased, and in five or six days, the family had five times more money than the money, Liu felt that this was like a dream, a little unreal, and the money was not so fast!
Li Zhi didn't have time to explain in person, he still had a lot to do: next to him, Huang Laocai nodded his head, his face was full of flattery, he was a little hesitant to be five or six steps away from Li Zhi, and his hands were a little trembling.
Li Zhi wrote a few pieces of paper before putting down his pen, and when he saw Huang Licai's nervous appearance, he couldn't help but smile, and pointed to the table: "Take a look first!" ”
"Hey!"
Huang Laocai hurriedly stepped forward, carefully picked up the paper, and gently dried it carefully before looking at it seriously, and soon, not only his hands trembled, but even his two legs were a little weak, and he spoke incoherently excitedly:
"This, Childe is really a god, and the old man is really convinced now."
After patting the sycophants, Master Huang cautiously confirmed:
"Childe really decided to give this "hundred bone incense" to the villain to operate? ”
