Chapter 171: Peacock Dung Stone
This chicken prostitution thing is just an accident, Li Qi is not here for chicken prostitution, he still has a lot of things to do here, in addition to hot pot, there is also soda, he has to find a way to solve the problem of soda.
"Richie, what's the good thing you're looking for me?"
Bei Bei looked at Li Qi with a little excitement.
Now that Li Qi is in the eyes of their traders, it is really sweet.
Li Qi smiled: "If it can be successful, it may be a good thing." ”
Beibei's eyes lit up and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Qi took out a drawing and handed it to Beibei.
Bei Bei took it and looked at it, only to see a bottle pattern drawn on it, and some requirements were written, all of which were very simple, which made him a little incredulous, and asked, "Is this a bottle?" ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Bei Bei said: "You want us to help you produce this bottle?" ”
"I'm going to do that, but." Li Qi coughed and said, "I hope you can help me produce this bottle while controlling the cost." ”
Bei Bei frowned and said, "How much control?" ”
Li Qi said: "A bottle can only be 30 shells at most. ”
Shellfish is the lowest unit, 100 shells is a pearl oyster, a pearl oyster is about 8 yuan, and 30 shells is more than two yuan.
Bei Bei couldn't believe it: "Thirty Bei? ”
Li Qi nodded.
Bei Bei shook her head and said, "It's impossible. ”
The price is so low that it's better to make glass than this.
Li Qi seemed to have expected it, his expression was calm, and he said, "So I'm just asking you, not talking to you about a deal." ”
Bei Bei was curious: "But I don't understand why you want to control the cost so low." ”
Li Qi smiled: "It's very simple, my customers mainly buy wine, not bottles, if the price of the bottle is the same as the price of wine, do you think this will help my transaction?" ”
"But the price is a little too low." Bei Bei shook her head helplessly.
Li Qi said: "But there is a key in this, my customer is to buy wine, this bottle is good or bad, they don't care, maybe they will throw it away after drinking, and what I care about is as long as the bottle can hold wine, you see the bottle I designed, it is very simple, it doesn't need to look good, and it doesn't need to be of good quality, so I came to you today, mainly hoping that you can produce a very cheap bottle." ”
Bei Bei was silent when she heard this.
Li Qi continued: "If you research it, the profit is huge, because in the future, I will use bottles for a lot of wine, you can think about it, how many bottles are needed? ”
Bei Bei was silent for a while, and said, "You really put all the wine in the bottle?" ”
Li Qi said: "I can guarantee that at least fifty percent of the wine will be bottled, and even if you don't agree with me, I will find a way to find a cheap bottle to fill the wine." ”
Bei Bei said: "Why? ”
Li Qi smiled: "This is mainly for the convenience of customers, you look at the design of this bottle, open the lid, you can drink it to your mouth, in the future, customers can buy a bottle of wine in a street shop, stand on the side of the street and drink it happily." Also, this bottle is only a part, and I have to look for the right lid, I don't know if you know, some wines can't last long once the lid is opened. This design will ensure that I will sell more wine in the future, in other words, I am not talking about 50% of today's wine production, or even 100 times or 1000 times more than I do now. ”
Bei Bei said: "But the price of wine is so expensive now...... ”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Qi said: "You are a trader, and you also know that the price of wine cannot always be so expensive, and it will definitely be cheap in the future, just like your mirror, I think when you first produced the mirror, it must be much more expensive than now." Of course, there are also expensive wines, which of course come in expensive bottles. If you're mature in this area, I'll hand over those expensive bottles to you when the time comes. ”
Bei Bei pondered for a while, and said, "I can't give you an answer yet, I need to go back and discuss with the owner." ”
Li Qi smiled: "Of course. ”
If it is really as Li Qi said, he will bottle fifty percent of the wine, and the profit in this is huge, and now all races know that the potential of wine is huge, as long as they can develop peripheral products, the profit is definitely very considerable.
Moreover, this design is definitely able to boost the sales of wine, and the product is very important for the convenience of customers, if you have to drink in a high-end hotel, some people want to drink, and they are too lazy to go this way, if you can buy it downstairs, sales will definitely skyrocket.
Therefore, although the cost of Richie's request is very low, it is impossible for Bei Bei to give up this opportunity easily.
In fact, Li Qi can produce glass by himself, he also has detailed technology in this area, but to speak, he can also build his own factory, he can also make his own pen, in fact, he can do everything by himself, why does he have to buy people, it's very simple, he doesn't have enough manpower, he doesn't rule an empire of 100 million people, he just controls a loose alliance of 30,000 people.
Light textile, food, planting, smelting, these departments have already shown how short the Huaxia Alliance is of manpower, not to mention the army.
And he is a businessman, the businessman's thinking is not to get everything by himself, the businessman always considers the cost, of course, some core technologies, you have to get your own, you can't always rely on the purchase, such as metal, if Li Qi can get the white tree seeds, he will definitely plant it himself, no matter how much it costs, this is the lifeblood, although the food is very profitable, but he would rather make less money, but unfortunately he can't get the seeds, he doesn't dare, if this is caught, the consequences are very serious, Because it would hurt the core interests of the Kingdom.
At present, he only hopes that the royal family will not force him to hand over the wine, where will he hurt the interests of the royal family.
Moreover, Li Qi asked Bei Bei to produce bottles, mainly not for wine, but for soda, this wine, in fact, does not need bottles very much, jars and barrels can be, soda jars are not suitable.
However, even if Beibei can produce bottles, it can't produce caps, let alone cans.
In this regard, it is necessary to go to the Golden Bull Thousand Blades, the largest producer of weapons in the Cow Hump, and also almost monopolizes the metal trade of the Ox Hump.
"You... You said you were looking for a metal stone worse than black iron? ”
Taurus Qianjian looked at Li Qi in disbelief, generally looking for better, how can there be a reason to find worse.
In fact, it's not worse, it's just that the royal family's requirements for metal are the harder the better, so Li Qi can only describe it like this, nodded and said: "Yes, I want to make a metal wine jar, which is used to hold wine, and the black iron is heavy and hard, and the production cost is too high, which is not very suitable." ”
"Jars?"
Taurus Thousand Blades said: "My Taurus family mainly produces weapons, and you let me help you produce jars?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "I can produce this by myself, I mainly want to buy raw materials." ”
"But black iron is the worst metal in our kingdom. ”
At this time, a scalper beast beside him suddenly said, "I don't know how much of this metal you plan to buy?" ”
This scalper beast is named Niu Chengqi, and he is a trader next to Taurus Qianji.
The golden bull thousand blades looked at the cow in surprise.
"If the price is cheap, I will buy a lot, a lot, because in the future I will use 50% of the wine in this kind of metal cans," Li Qi said. ”
Niu Chengqi's eyes couldn't help but flash a glint and said, "Li Qi, can you wait a moment outside the house." ”
Wow! What is it that makes it so mysterious? Although Li Qi was full of doubts, he also got up and smiled: "Of course you can." ”
Niu Chengqi immediately beckoned a long right to come in and led Li Qi to sit outside.
As soon as Li Qi left, Taurus Qianjian said: "Chengqi, what do you want to do?" How can we have this kind of metallic stone? ”
Niu Chengqi said: "The big producer has forgotten, in fact... In fact, there is another kind of metal stone in our kingdom that can hardly be used. ”
Taurus Thousand Blades wondered, "Really? How did I not know? ”
Niu Chengqi said with a depressed face: "It's the peacock dung stone." ”
"That's peacock dung, not metal stone." Taurus Thousand Blades don't have a good airway.
Niu Chengqi said: "Great producer, have you forgotten that a long time ago, there was a beast that smelted a very poor metal from that malachite dungstone, but the metal was of no use, and the smelting cost was higher than that of black iron, so it did not attract everyone's attention at that time...... ”
Without waiting for him to finish, Taurus Thousand Blades said, "Yes! It couldn't be used at all, it was as fragile as paper, but it couldn't write, so it was dung stone, not metal stone. ”
Niu Chengqi said: "But Li Qi is worse than Black Iron." ”
Taurus Qianjian said with a disgusted face: "How can our Taurus family do the trade of dung stone, this is an insult to the reputation of my Taurus family." ”
Niu Chengqi said anxiously: "Big producer, didn't you listen to Li Qi, if we can find suitable raw materials, fifty percent of his wine in the future will be filled with this kind of jar, and the big producer should know that his wine is not enough to sell, not afraid of not being able to sell it." What a big deal this is, and the peacock dung stone has been piled up in our kingdom, and we don't know what to do now, if we can make money, the profit in it is very large. ”
Taurus Qianjian frowned and said: "You have a point, but it is ....... to use dung stone to fill wine." ”
Niu Chengqi said: "This is Li Qi's business, he thinks it is appropriate." ”
Taurus Qianjian said: "But it's us who drink!" ”
Niu Chengqi was so anxious that he stomped his feet and shouted with his eyes puffed out: "Could it be that the great producer invited me here so that I could come and drink?" You ask me to help you make money, and if it is appropriate, the profit is huge. ”
"You... Don't get excited! The trader he invited must be very powerful, and the trader and the owner are not masters and servants, so he snorted and waved his hand: "That's okay, you call Li Qi in, you talk to him." ”
The tone was still a little reluctant, he monopolized the black iron trade of this generation and didn't care about this money.
"Yes!"
Niu Chengqi is relieved.
After a while, Richie walked in again.
Niu Chengqi said: "Li Qi, we can help you find the raw materials you want, but we have a request. ”
Li Qi said: "What requirements?" ”
Niu Chengqi said: "That is, you must keep this secret for the time being." ”
Richie was confused: "I don't quite understand. ”
Niu Chengqi said: "It's just that you can't leak this matter for the time being." ”
"This... Can I see why? Richie wondered.
Niu Chengqi said: "All you need is raw materials. ”
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said, "But what if you can't find it?" ”
Niu Chengqi said: "I just said for the time being, you only need to give us thirty days." ”
Although Li Qi didn't understand, he wanted the raw materials, and he didn't care about the rest, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
