"But if you want more after this batch is used up, you'll have to use gold to get it again."

If Zhao Weiji's words were heard by another modern person, then he would definitely feel very familiar and very supermarket.

That's right, this is just one of the most commonly used marketing tactics in later generations, and that is a free trial, or a free tasting, delicious and then buying.

Although Zhao Weiji has not studied marketing, this kind of rotten street method is almost understood by people who have visited supermarkets and shopping malls in later generations.

And Zhao Weiji took out this vulgar trick at this time.

Don't look at it as a vulgar trick in the later life, but it is still very fresh at this moment, and it is also very suitable for the products that Zhao Weiji wants to sell.

In later generations, many products that used free trials as marketing had one of the biggest things in common, that is, they were all fast consumables. Whether it's food or cosmetics, these are consumables that can be easily consumed in a short period of time.

These items are often used as a free trial to attract customers, whether it's giving you a small drink or a small can of eye cream to try out.

These things will be used up in a short time, and when they are used up, customers will pay for them if they think they are good or useful.

Therefore, if you try out the free trial marketing strategy on these products, you can get a return on investment in a short period of time.

This principle is also used in Zhao Weiji's current strategy, after all, things like cotton clothes and iron weapons are not quick consumables, and if you try them for free, you won't be able to recoup your return on investment in the short term.

Seasonings are different from wine, which can easily be consumed in a short period of time, and the return on investment can be seen quickly.

Just after Snow translated Zhao Weiji's words to the chief, the chief fell into thought. These salt and wine are things that have a fatal attraction to her, and she is also very happy that Zhao Weiji can give her for free.

However, if they want new ones after they run out, they will have to exchange them for gold, which makes her hesitate, because after all, they have migrated from afar, and all the gold they use now is all saved from the past, and before new gold mines are discovered, those "deposits" are endless water, and they will use a little less.

However, the chief soon figured it out, as their clan had a long tradition of finding gold by secret means, so she was sure that she would be able to find it quickly once she settled in the land.

Besides, even if you can't find gold, it's a big deal if you don't buy these salt and wine in the future, and it's not like you haven't lived a hard life before, so what can you do if you go back to the past.

So she agreed to Zhao Weiji's request, she must need a new one and must exchange it for gold.

At the dinner table like this, the chief and Zhao Weiji reached an agreement.

After the agreement was reached, the meal was almost finished. By the time they left the restaurant, it was already dark, so the chief and the others didn't dare to stay any longer, and left Xinhua City with their fruitful harvest today.

The day after they left, a new decree was implemented in Xinhua City, but the content of the decree did not cause any resistance from the people.

This is because the new decree is to increase the security of all gold mines, and all miners must wear weapons for self-defense.

Although such a decree did not cause any resistance among the people, they were a little puzzled as to why the guards on the gold mines had suddenly been strengthened.

However, since there is no harm to themselves, no one has raised any objections, it is nothing more than that there are more guards in the mine, and they need to put a knife on their waists when they go to work, so everyone complied.

However, on the third day after the decree was issued, the workers in the mine suddenly noticed that there were more people around the mine who they had not seen before.

Naturally, the people they had not met were Indians who had recently migrated to the vicinity, and they did not know what kind of skills these Indians had, but they seemed to have a talent for finding gold mines.

Not long after they moved to this vicinity, they found all the gold mines that were being mined in Xinhua City, and none of them were lost.

But when they found the gold, they were also dismayed to find that the gold had been mined, and the people who mined the gold were the people who lived in that god-like city.

In the face of these people, the Indians had some helplessness, first of all, because the people who had entered the city came back and publicized those people too much, so that all the Indians now have a kind of awe for the Han people in Xinhua City.

There is also the fact that the gold mines seem to be heavily guarded, and those who guard with weapons do not seem to be so easy to deal with. Of course, there were those who dared to attack the miners who were carrying the gold, but before they could reach the miners, they were pushed to the ground by the guards.

And even if the guards did not catch the fish in time, the vigilant miners pulled out the short knife on their waists and cut off the Indians' rudimentary spears with one sword.

The fish that slipped through the net was so frightened that he sat down on the ground on the spot.

The reason why Zhao Weiji asked the miners to bring their own knives is because many of these miners were soldiers who had participated in the peasant uprising in the Central Plains, and they had all experienced war, as long as they were given weapons, they were completely capable of self-defense.

And these unfortunate Indians who were arrested did not lose their lives due to Zhao Weiji's order, but were all gathered and detained in Xinhua City.

Of course, not all of them were detained, Zhao Weiji specially picked out a person, and then asked Snow to tell him, let him go back and tell their chieftain, if you want to ransom people, bring gold, if you don't want to ransom people, you can do it, after five days, this group of people will automatically become slaves in Xinhua City.

At this time, Zhao Weiji didn't mind restoring a certain amount of slavery on a small scale, because as the people in the city became richer and richer, a lot of dirty work began to be gradually left unused, so if a large number of Indians could be captured as slaves at this time to do these dirty jobs, it would not be impossible.

Snow had finished explaining these things to the man, and then he was released from the city. And the first time that person left Xinhua City, he naturally rushed back to his tribe and reported everything to the chief.

His report angered the chieftain, and instead of getting the gold back, the men were arrested, and now they still ransom them with the gold.

This annoyed the chief, but although the chief could choose not to ransom the people, the salt and wine were about to be consumed, and if he could not find new gold, he believed that he would not be able to sustain himself for long with his previous reserves.

At this time, the chief had no choice but to neither ransom nor buy new salt and wine, and everyone returned to the pre-liberation period and began to live a miserable life again.

However, if the chief had heard an old saying in Huaxia, he would not think so, there is a way to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift.

When the Indians were accustomed to eating the food with the taste and enjoying the wine, they would not let them live a hard life.

When the salt and wine were consumed only three days later, the chief already sensed that the people below were in a tendency to rebel, because the Indians below were not stupid, and they knew that it was impossible to snatch these supplies from the gang in Xinhua City, but it was still possible to kill the chief and take out her private gold to exchange these materials in Xinhua City.

So in the past few days, the chief felt that the eyes of the people of the clan were a little different from her.

In the end, the chief really had no choice but to take out the gold and take people to Xinhua City, hoping to exchange the gold for some salt and wine, and by the way, also discuss whether the imprisoned tribes would also be redeemed together.

After they arrived in Xinhua City for the second time, they were warmly received by Zhao Weiji, and the two parties still talked amicably, which gave the chief an illusion that Zhao Weiji was a very good talker.

But he didn't expect that when it came to the price of salt and wine, Zhao Weiji refused to let go, and when these Indians wanted to buy the very cheap salt sold in the city, the price directly increased tenfold.

The reason why Zhao Weiji dared to do this was entirely because this salt was a necessity of life, but he couldn't. Although if the price is high among one's own people, there will be a popular uprising.

But you Indians are foreigners, and it doesn't matter to me whether you live or die, and I was prepared to quickly deprive you of your gold so that you could follow my plan.

Besides, Lao Tzu now has an absolute monopoly on salt, and he is not afraid that you will not buy it, so Lao Tzu is the price tag, what can you do with me. I don't believe that you still dare to rob, as long as you dare to rob, you are all my slaves.

Although the chief didn't know the price of salt in the city, she could vaguely feel that the price was a bit outrageous just from the quotation made by Zhao Weiji.

But there is no way, people have a complete monopoly on the supply of salt, and you can't buy salt and wine without this price. In desperation, the chief had no choice but to take out the gold requested by Zhao Weiji and sell salt and wine.

After talking about this, the chief once tentatively asked Zhao Weiji if he could make it cheaper and then ransom those imprisoned clansmen.

But what the chief didn't expect was that Zhao Weiji actually said something like this: "In fact, you can take those who become our slaves without paying, but the only condition is that they are willing to go with you, if you don't want to, I have no choice." ”

This sentence made the chief a little confused, what does it mean to be willing or not? I want to take my own people, but they dare to say they don't want to?

However, when Zhao Weiji brought those slaves together, the chief finally understood why Zhao Weiji said this.
