Chapter 19 Perfume price increases
This record in the "History of the Song Dynasty" is actually very interesting, he said "sleeping disease", not "sleeping disease".
"Sick bed" is easy to understand, that is, when you get sick, you go to sleep, and after you sleep, you don't wake up and die. This order is also normal. But "sleeping sickness" says that you get sick after you sleep and die after you get sick. It's puzzling. If you don't get sick before you go to bed, how can you die the next day?
Of course, there are also cases where you don't get sick when you sleep and die the next day, such as some myocardial infarctions, cerebral hemorrhages, etc., which cannot be tested by ancient techniques. In ancient times, it was only known that he slept the night before and died the next day, and it was not certain whether he became ill after sleeping. But in "History of the Song Dynasty", it must be said that it was an illness born after sleeping, which is intriguing.
It doesn't matter if it's a conspiracy theory, or if it's a victim paranoia.
In short, Su Shi is unwilling to put his fate in the hands of others. Instead of living in fear like that, it is better to give it a go by yourself, maybe a bicycle becomes a motorcycle?
And Su Shi doesn't completely believe in history, this thing is written by the victors, so naturally how to make them profitable.
Don't look down on the style of the literati, a gentleman like Wen Tianxiang is a very rare person in history. Most of them are people who reverse right and wrong for selfish gain.
"You must go to the capital, you must go to Bianliang. Only there is a place where the eagle spreads its wings and flies high, only there is a place where the passive situation can be reversed, and only by going there can you control your own fate, not in this kind of high place where the emperor is far away, an edict issued at any time will make yourself, your parents, and the entire Qianqizhuang fall overnight.
The goal is finally there, and the next step is to prepare for entering Beijing.
It is certain to bring some people who can be believed to be available, but it is obviously not enough at the moment. Thinking that Cheap Daddy had a lot of talents, he decided to find time to ask for a few people.
If you want to prepare to go to the capital, you must prepare in advance, and you need to send someone to the front station, and this matter can be handed over to Qian Bao to do.
There are still too few rich people in Yingchang Mansion, and some things can only be better reflected in value when they are sold in the capital. Well, when Qian Bao comes back, he can be arranged to do this.
Speaking of which, these are all trivial things, and what really makes Su Shi embarrassed is how to enter the palace, contact the prince Zhao Xi, and fight for the great grace of saving the prince.
At this time, Su Shi couldn't help but fall into contemplation...
Yingchang Mansion.
Fifteen days passed, and Qian Bao and Shi Buddha also rushed back from outside. They did not enter the city first, but came to Qianqizhuang by Shifo and reported to Su Shi first.
Two jars of six-pound perfume were placed in the hands of the stone Buddha, "Take it, tell Qian Bao that the price will increase this time, as for how much, you let him watch it." ”
Perfume is not impossible to take out, but once there are too many such things, it will not only attract the prying eyes of others, but also make such good things drop in price. This is not what Su Shi wants to see.
The means of hunger marketing have been used, and then if the price is not raised, I will be sorry for these routines.
"Xingyun, you accompany Ling'er to Yingchang City and buy some perfume and come back." Thinking that my mother had always been obsessed with perfume, after watching the stone Buddha leave, Su Shi remembered something and commanded.
Then a porcelain bottle of perfume on the table was handed over to Yue Siling.
The porcelain vase is very ordinary, but the perfume inside is a high-end product, far from being a cheap perfume like Qian Bao.
......
Qian Bao finally appeared.
When he appeared at the door of the spice shop, the guy who was already looking at the river here shouted loudly, "The owner, the owner, the Qiantou family is here, the Qiantou family is here." ”
Ding Wanshi, who was on the second floor with a sad face, jumped up as if a spring had been installed on the soles of his feet when he heard the shout.
He came downstairs quickly, and almost as soon as Qian Bao's feet stepped into the spice shop, he greeted him and hugged him. "My money family, my savior, you can be regarded as here."
For Ding Wanshi's warm reception of himself, Qian Bao is somewhat mentally prepared.
But he didn't expect to be so enthusiastic, and he was stunned on the spot for a while. After two full breaths, he relieved himself and said, "What are you doing, let go, if this continues, the perfume bottle in my arms is going to be squeezed." ”
As soon as he heard the word perfume, Ding Wanshi quickly let go of his clenched hands and asked with a look of anticipation, "There is perfume?" Great, how many? ”
"Not a lot, thirty bottles." Qian Bao said a number.
However, what was waiting was Ding Wanshi who quickly shook his head and said, "No, thirty bottles is too little, it's not enough at all." ”
The last two times of thirty bottles, the second time it was sold very slowly, but now it is not enough, which makes Qian Bao a little confused. "As before, why is it not enough?"
"Oh, Qian Toujia, Brother Qian, don't you know, the perfume has entered Beijing, and the nobles like it very much, and now they all want it, how can it be with only thirty bottles." In front of Qian Bao, Ding Wanshi had no intention of lying, he probably knew that the matter was too big, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.
In the past ten days, Ding Wanshi was either invited to various mansions to ask for perfume, or hid in a place where no one found him to pass the time.
He was already driven crazy, and he didn't want to profit from perfume, all he had to do was to prevent the nobles from coming to his own trouble, and he was thankful.
Now that he has finally found Qian Bao, all he wants is to get more perfume to satisfy the appetite of those nobles, and to save his life first, right?
"The perfume has reached the eyes of the nobles in the capital?" Hearing this answer, Qian Bao was also a little excited, and he finally knew why the young master wanted to let him hide for fifteen days, which was obviously time for the perfume to ferment. It seems that the young master is indeed looking farther than himself.
After knowing that the perfume was favored by the nobles, Qian Bao was excited, knowing that this thing was not going to be sold, and he also knew that the matter handed over to him by the young master to let it increase the price was easy to do. He relaxed and sat down in the main hall very casually, "Alas, the shopkeeper Ding, whether the perfume is favored by the nobles, I don't care, do you think that no one will buy such a good thing?" You don't know how much it cost to make this perfume this time, and the cost is a lot higher. ”
Obedient and listening.
Ding Wanshi caught the meaning of these words and knew that this was the price of Qian Bao's land.
"Brother Qian, but I don't know if the price is going to rise, and how much will the price increase?"
"It's not that I'm going to raise the price, it's that the cost has increased. Well, a bottle of three thousand, no two prices. Qian Bao quoted a number, which was also the result of his careful measurement. If it rises too much, it can't go too low, so it doesn't go well, so the price is increased by a thousand.
The price of 3,000 guan is definitely not low, after all, it is only 100 milliliters. But the advantage is that only he has such a thing, and the price of the money treasure will rise, and others will only have to watch.
During this time, Ding Wanshi did not go to other Yici Joy businessmen through connections.
In fact, not only him, but also the other powerful people are also mobilizing relationships to find foreign merchants. But unfortunately, those who have never even heard of what perfume is, how can there be a supply?
Business is afraid of monopoly.
Monopoly is also the most lucrative business.
Exaggeration. Don't say that a bottle rises by a thousand, that is, if it rises a little more, those who want to buy it can only bow their heads and admit it.
"Okay, three thousand is three thousand, I want as many as I want." Although there was some blood in his heart, he didn't know how many times he had urged Shao Yin, even the faces of the little officials who came to look for him were getting more and more ugly, Ding Wanshi said categorically.
Anyway, this money is not Ding Wanshi, whoever wants to bleed, he is just a middleman, and the price will be raised.
"Got it?" Qian Bao was also a little puzzled when he heard this.
"Yes, I want it. These 30 bottles do not need to be sold to individuals. Wait, I'll get you the money now. Ding Wanshi said happily.
After a while, Qian Bao and Shi Buddha walked out of the spice shop. At this time, they already had a full 84,000 Jiaozi tickets in their arms.
"Go and inform the young master, just say that the goods are gone, it seems that there is still a lot more, see if you can take more out this time." As soon as he came to the street, Qian Bao said carefully to the stone Buddha.
For the guard and supervisor next to him, Qian Bao didn't dare to offend in the slightest, and he was accompanied by some caution when he spoke.
"Okay, I'll take you back to the inn first." Shi Buddha nodded, he was very satisfied with the matter of sending his sister to Su Shi, and felt that this was the most correct thing to do in his life.
Soon, more and more perfumes were sent to Qian Bao's hands, and soon flowed into the market.
Even the price of a bottle of 3,000 guan is still in short supply.
In order to shoot the nobles' ass, I usually don't know what to give, but now with the appearance of perfume, it has become the best gift.
As for the price of 3,000 yuan for one bottle. Hehe, compared to the tens of thousands of Jiaozi who they give to nobles at every turn, this money is really nothing.
Even if the demand for perfume was very large, Su Shi did not forget to exchange too much, and when the silver ticket in his hand was saved up to 500,000 yuan, he stopped.
changed hands and gave Qian Bao 100,000 yuan and asked him to go to Jingshi to fight the front station. He also took away a full 5,000 chaotic crystal diamonds.
This kind of thing that fools children to play in later generations, relying on its gorgeous and colorful form, once it is taken into the capital, I am afraid that it will soon form a trend.
And such a diamond is the easiest to carry, even if you bring thousands of diamonds on your body, it will not be inconspicuous.
When Qian Bao saw these gems of different shapes and colors, his face was wonderful. He found that he still underestimated the young master, the last perfume was a surprise, and this time the gem made him even more surprised, and his mouth couldn't be closed.
