Chapter 278: Omissions

Jia Deyong said that there was a problem that no one was aware of, the problem of unit price and total price.

A pound of 75 Wen, compared to the finished product, is a lot less, but compared with iron, that less is really not much, the usual price of iron, around 80 Wen, some more remote, or business is not very good places, the cost is not high, some places, may be a little more than 100 Wen at most.

Under such a premise, without a large-scale reduction, at the very least, it is not worth their shot, they even discharge a person in charge, pay a little attention to it, and develop it in this aspect, there is no need to pay for everything.

However, in fact, they fell into the mistake of thinking, and the weight is the biggest reduction in the blacksmith's workshop.

What people don't realize is that the weight of these things is much less than that of ordinary materials.

Iron plates, this is a new product that has never appeared before, they didn't notice, but other things, especially the essential things in every household, the big iron pots, that everyone knows, there are some blacksmiths, and even know the standard weight of these iron pots.

Sure enough, they all pointed to the iron pot and asked, the weight of the iron pot is about 20 catties, and the price is, of course, 1.5 yuan.

It's very high, but compared to the previous iron pot, this is already a certain level.

The price of the previous iron pot was as high as 6 guan, and in some remote areas, 10 guan is not too much.

Next, they picked up the things one by one to check the weight, and finally came up with an amazing data.

Everything is very light, even if it looks like a big steamer, a steamer that is enough to hold a large number of steamed buns, the weight of the whole may be two or three catties, a steamer that can steam a large number of vegetables and steamed buns, may only be 200 Wen thought, you may think that this is a lie before, but it actually exists.

In other words, everyone knows something, a set of pottery, it doesn't have to be too good, that is, it is similar to the one used by Zhao Xin on the canal before, which is the most common tea supplies.

A set of 150 Wen, including a set of kettles and 4 cups, the price is more than 150 Wen, which is an ordinary price, not too high, not too low.

There are also those that are cheaper than him, even if they are not very good, and they don't look beautiful at all, at least more than 90 Wen.

However, a set of delicate iron tea sets, including a small teapot and 4 cups, has a total weight of only a little more than 4 taels, that is to say, the price of this is about 25 Wen, not more than 30 Wen.

This is an absolute low price, ceramics since the appearance, has become a daily necessities often used by the Chinese, his cheapness, his durability, has always been an advantage.

However, the lowest price is also around seventy or eighty wen for a set, and it has been reduced to less than 30 wen all of a sudden, which is a huge space.

In fact, most of the ordinary working people use wooden bowls and black pottery bowls, which are the cheapest, but they are not cheap to this extent.

The price of a bun is as high as more than 10 Wen, a bowl, and can not be as expensive as a bun, even if it is a wooden bowl, it must be taken down, carved, and finally formed, it is not so durable, and after a long time, it will dry out and crack, split out, far inferior to the ceramic bowl, and the ceramic bowl also has the problem of fragmentation.

It's this iron bowl, which is quite suitable.

However, some people still raised a question, that is, such a thin bowl, what is his quality, the bowl is good to say, it is a carrying thing, what about the rest, kettles and pots, these are to be burned on the fire, such thin, will it be burned out.

Niu Dali also knew for a long time that this question would definitely be raised, and this is also the case that anyone who sees the iron here will feel that it is too thin, and there may be problems.

For this, this side has also been prepared for a long time, and it has been proposed that it can be replaced if there is a problem with use.

As long as it is avoided to dry boil, as long as there is water or other liquid in it, it will not be bad.

Not everyone present knew the iron, but those who did, immediately saw the reason.

They have also encountered dry burned iron tools, this thing was originally smelted at high temperatures, once it reaches a certain temperature, it will definitely burn red, and then become brittle, or even melt, then it will be broken, this has nothing to do with the time you use it, some 10 years, some may be a month.

It seems that this is the problem.

Of course, this batch is the most important customer, but also the most important, you can try and introduce at will, there are at least more than 200 people, here, at any time to follow their orders to demonstrate.

In the demonstration hall, it began to be gradually lively, and many people watched with interest, some very thin iron pots can also cook dishes, especially boiling water, and the speed is quite fast.

Jia Deyong was also watching, but after he proposed the price, he regretted it a little, if he didn't put it forward, wouldn't it be his own, he wished that these people were not involved, let him include a few core industries, although he said, most of the blacksmith shops he controlled were no longer economically and commercially developed, and the labor costs in those places were high and the price could not be suppressed, but as long as there was a profit, it would be no problem to establish in these places.

However, after looking at the preparation of the blacksmith's workshop, he somewhat understood, even if he didn't bring it up, the other party would take the initiative to propose, and it can be seen from the reactions of these people after he proposed it.

The other party used the auction method and the way of various rare gems to attract the attention of the entire Northern Song Dynasty, not to mention the powerful merchants, all of them arrived, but they also came almost, even including more than a dozen famous ones, I heard that there are tens of millions of wealth, and you can use more than 2 million super families at will.

Under such a premise, it is really not easy for him to compete.

While these big merchants were still making the final observation, mainly to test the quality of these iron tools, he came to Niu Dali's side.

As the son of a privy envoy, even if he didn't take the road of the imperial examination, he still had this in his eyes after controlling the iron trade of the entire Jia family for so many years.

If the blacksmith workshop is hidden and hidden, it is mysterious, it means that there must be something imperfect in this blacksmith workshop, but it must be full of confidence if it is released so generously and let everyone see it.

That's right, if you don't have the confidence, you can't take it, the entire Privy Council, and even the entire official iron business of the Northern Song Dynasty, if you don't even have this confidence, it's so possible.

Jia Deyong was more concerned about the dealer's method, he leaned next to Niu Dali, and asked side-by-side, mainly how to determine the dealer.

Niu Dali told Jia Deyong that dealers are all under the same conditions, of course, the products ordered, and the more orders signed, the better.

For example, it is divided into two items, one is how much to buy at one time, and at the same time as the purchase, there is a minimum purchase quantity, and there is a minimum monthly sales volume, which can only be satisfied.

If there are multiple dealers in a city competing together, then we must use the way of competition, who has better conditions, then choose whom.

This is a public method, Jia Deyong knows, but there is no detailed data, and when he arrives here, Niu Dali here, he has detailed data on 40 cities, among which there is no Daimyofu, and there are others.

Zhao Xin originally wanted to let Bianliang go, he was going to give this channel to Renzong, but after thinking about it, now Renzong is afraid that he doesn't have the energy, he will leave a direct store for Bianliang, which can be regarded as a regional head office, and when the time comes, a part of the share will be drawn to Renzong.

In addition to this, in the government order, a part will also be left for Renzong, and his expected share is the same as Jia Chaochang's share in the Privy Council before, 2 cents per catty.

It seems very small, one penny, relative to the amount of 400 million, is 400,000 guan, two wen, is the terrible 800,000 guan, in the current situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, this purchasing power is very amazing.

Although Renzong has always had a subsidy, but there are 800,000 yuan more, and there are other conveniences to give Renzong benefits, at least Renzong is a little better, and Concubine Shu will also live well.

The big river is full of water and the small river, no matter how much you subsidize, there will always be a little more money.

After listening to the data, Jia Deyong was a little depressed, among these data, it seems that 200,000 is really a lot, but to win these, I am afraid that under the premise of no competition, there will not be more than 10 cities, if there is competition, five or six is good.

However, he was sensitive to the discovery that among the 40 cities, there were no cities where his blacksmith shop was located.

Jia Chaochang took the initiative to ask, if it is not in the city determined above, why not do it!

Zhao Xin also informed Niu Dali that the 40 cities have included the vast majority of the people in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, and with these cities as nodes, they represent 40 state capitals, accounting for almost 70% of the population of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.

But there are still around, and even around these cities, there are gaps, and the temporary franchise is in the city, and the city can radiate outside the city, but some people have the heart to develop the market outside the city, and this is not an exaggeration, and they can buy things directly.

Jia Deyong's eyes lit up, and he finally saw the loophole here, and that was these empty places and small cities.

When they controlled the blacksmith shop before, they were mostly like these, although now, without orders from their Jia family, their blacksmiths' business is not good, but if they become sellers in turn, the area they occupy will become a huge market.

Although the countryside is not as good as the city, the things in the blacksmith's workshop are not expensive, but only supplied to the city, just like those pots and pans, even rotten wood bowls can be used, these stronger, more beautiful, and cheaper iron bowls will definitely be very marketable.

However, dealers are to compete, these also have to occupy, even temporarily 200,000 is not enough, after winning enough distribution rights, but also to continue to mobilize funds, these are all good things, do not worry about selling, there are profits, as long as this vote is done, the loss in the Privy Council can also be taken back.
