Chapter 49: If you don't understand, it's your own problem
After seeing the construction of the ice storage and transportation line with his own eyes, Victor's not comfortable mood was finally relieved a little.
Now he still has to wait for someone, as long as his side is ready, this refrigerated transport line is completely open.
And this man didn't make him wait long, and soon returned to Lakeside Town with a large number of small boars.
"Master Vic, I am really happy to see your healthy appearance again!"
“……”
Victor remained silent, how could the Warhammer Caravan Captain Durs care about his words, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong?
"Ahem...... Captain Tours, how's the wagon makeover? ”
Not knowing how to answer, Victor simply talked about business.
"Back to the young master, the transformation of the carriage is very smooth, and the key is that the two skills of the little mountain boar's fine snow and freezing wind are too suitable for cooling and refrigeration.
As long as they take care of them to eat and sleep well, the obedience of the little boar is also excellent, and they will not rummage through the goods at all. ”
"Oh? So you've experimented with them all? ”
Durles smiled heartily and nodded vigorously.
"Moreover, the renovated refrigerated carriage can transport fresh fish when it goes, and it can also transport fresh fruits and vegetables on the return trip, and the preservation time has also been greatly extended."
Victor nodded approvingly, thinking only about getting the fresh fish out.
But Tours, as a businessman, quickly figured out that he could bring something else back as well.
"Lakeside Town will be able to start the refrigerated transportation chain in about half a month, and the horse-drawn carriage transformation on your side should be tightened.
In addition, in addition to small mountain pigs, long-haired pigs that can be used as breeding pigs are also searched for as much as possible.
When we actually use refrigerated transportation, not only the little boar, but most of the ice elves will pay a premium.
Now you can earn as much as you can buy.
It is best that we can directly breed small mountain boars in the future, and no longer be bound by the northern caravans. ”
In the face of Victor's remarks, Tours could only nod his head non-stop.
Although he thought of many of them, he was still shocked by Victor's business acumen.
Most of the current lords only know how to fight around and fight for territory.
Once you run out of money, you can only know how to raise taxes, or ask your subordinate caravans for money.
As for ways to make money?
I'm sorry, that's a matter for you merchants, and it has nothing to do with my lord!
Like how many masters like Vic, not only came up with a way to refrigerate and preserve freshness, but even planned the entire refrigerated transportation clearly from the beginning.
Let's not say how many masters Vic will fight, but in terms of making money, Durs believes that there are few lords who can compare to the young master.
"By the way, I asked you to do market research and plan how much the fish will sell after it is shipped out, and what will be the result."
Victor asked again, this is a relatively late matter, but it also needs to be arranged in advance.
"Young Master Hui, my subordinates compared the prices of river fish in several areas such as Shilu City, Xiaobo Town, and Marshland City.
The price is basically 1 copper coin 3-5 catties of river fish and shrimp, according to the quality of the goods, there is a little up and down.
So I plan to set the price of frozen marine fish, but the price of 1 copper coin is 1-2 catties.
After all, scarcity is expensive, and the taste of frozen marine fish is only slightly worse than that of fresh marine fish, but it is also much better than the taste of river fish.
As long as inland people have eaten frozen sea fish, I believe they will never want to eat river fish again! ”
Tours said with pride on his face that this was the result of his judgment after many inquiries, and there would be no mistake.
But the next moment, he saw Victor shake his head at him.
"How are you going to sell it? Set up a stall next to the river fish seller, and then compare the prices with each other, waiting for people to come and buy it spontaneously? ”
Durles was stunned, could it be ...... Isn't that so?
Seeing this, Victor said that the business of this era was really not developed enough.
In order to be able to sell things, the merchants on the blue star have an endless and varied approach.
Although he didn't know much, as long as he casually explained it to Tours, he should be able to understand it quickly.
"Since things are rare and expensive, naturally they can't be sold like this......"
Victor cleared his throat and began to tell Tours in the most straightforward words about star effect, brand effect and so on.
But after listening to Tours, there was still a little confusion in his eyes, and he didn't understand what a star was at all, and why he didn't sell good fish, but he wanted to sell the words "Lakeside Town".
Isn't Lakeside your domain? Can this also be sold?
When the lord hears this, won't he break your legs?
Victor sighed helplessly, and could only give one more example.
"If I offer a treasure to my father today, how long will it take for the news to spread throughout Poetry?"
Durles was stunned for a while, why did he suddenly talk about offering treasures again?
Aren't we selling fish?
However, Durse thought for a moment and replied very seriously: "In less than a day, everyone will know." ”
"Okay, then if I send the frozen sea fish to the city of Poetry, and ask someone to make it delicious and give it to my father to taste.
After tasting it, my father even said that the fish was extremely fresh and delicious.
How long will it take for this news to be known to everyone in Poetic City under your deliberate push? ”
"If it's deliberate, it's only half a day for the whole city to know," Durs replied honestly.
"Then the next day, all the famous nobles, tycoons, and powerful elven messengers of Poetic City tasted the delicious sea fish you had sent.
How long does it take for messages to pass between them? ”
"It's only a meal or two, right?" Tours wasn't sure, but vaguely seemed to understand something.
"Well, on the third day, everyone suddenly found that this fresh sea fish had been officially put on the market, and it was all over every large market.
Especially when they find out that the price of marine fish is only slightly more expensive than that of river fish? ”
Tours' eyes widened, and then he shouted, "Buy! Be sure to buy it back and try it! ”
Victor nodded with satisfaction: "This is the star effect, the biggest star in Poetic City is my father."
Then there were other nobles, wealthy merchants, elven envoys.
As long as they all say it's delicious, even if they can't make it taste so delicious when they go back, they can only blame themselves for not being able to taste it.
Where do you need to compete with river fish? ”
Tours was completely stunned.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a glint of gold in his eyes.
At this moment, Durs had completely determined that in this world, in terms of business acumen, there was no lord who could compare to the Vic in front of him.
"By the way, no matter how hot the sales are in the early stage, the price of marine fish must not rise.
You can advertise a limited number of purchases, and at the same time advertise that the fish are shipped from Lakeside Town. ”
"Okay young master!"
Durs didn't ask why, since the young master said so, there must be his arrangement.
I don't understand, it's just that he can't do it himself, which is the same as not being able to eat delicious fish from the sea!
