Chapter 180: The Price of Black Fuel Soars

Li Yinguang thought about it and said: "It's really not okay to raise the price, in the future, the market retail price of 'Lady Lady' will be increased to 199 silver bull coins per bottle, and the commission distributed to Andy will remain unchanged, and she will still be given 100 silver bull coins per bottle." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "From the third issue of the 'Lady of Your Lady' newspaper, the rule of producing one bottle of your lady's perfume from ten newspapers has been changed to one bottle per 100 copies! ”

Irma frowned and asked puzzledly: "'Lady Perfume' is in a seller's market, why do we still control sales?" ”

Li Yinguang said with a smile: "If the noble lady's perfume only sells a thousand bottles a year in the Mambach town area, then it will be an eternal god, and women will rush to buy it for her, raising the price to buy it, there is a premium It is a luxury, because others can't easily buy it, but if the castle store can sell a thousand bottles every month, it is an ordinary commodity, something that can be easily obtained, who will go crazy about it?"

The money at the moment is only under the nose, the money is destined not to accumulate into a mountain, we have to look far, if the 'lady perfume' in a small place like Mambach town can not become a brand, become a luxury that women dream of, how to go out and let it see a broader world? ”

"Lady perfume" is not difficult to manufacture, as long as there is a corresponding formula, the cost can be almost as low as a dozen copper bull coins, plus high-end packaging, it is less than ten silver cow coins, if the outer packaging is removed, it can be dumped at a low price.

The problem is, selling 100,000 bottles at a low price does not necessarily make more money by selling 1,000 bottles at a high price, so why smash your own signboard.

Even in front of Andy Fei, Li Yinguang's attitude is very clear, to ensure the brand degree of 'Lady Perfume', not only will not increase sales, but will also squeeze the difficulty of buying 'Mrs. Lady' again, and even in the future, there will be no ordinary purchase channels, and qualification certificates are required to buy 'Lady Perfume'.

For example, in the future, the Lady Perfume will only be generated among the users who purchase the "Lady Newspaper", and one hundred users will generate a place, and the "Lady Fragrance" and the "Lady Newspaper" will be deeply bundled. And Li Yinguang did the same!

In addition to the relatively high number of winners in the first and second issues of the noble lady newspaper, the number of signatures drawn should be reduced when the third issue is issued.

The "Lady of Your Lady" is calculated according to the sales of 3,000 copies per issue, and every 100 copies generate a purchase quota, so there are still 30 bottles in each issue.

The point is that the 'Lady of Honor' is not issued monthly, but perhaps once a week, so it can generate about 120 bottles per month.

It's not very high, and it can be accommodated by the market in the area of Manbach Town, and there is a corresponding premium, and it can also guarantee the sales of the 'Lady Newspaper'.

Taking a step back, even if the 'Lady Lady' doesn't make money, selling 3,000 copies of the 'Lady Newspaper' per issue can make Li Yinguang a lot of money.

So there is no need to make trouble with Andy Fei on the previously set 'Lady Perfume', after all, things are agreed, and no one will be willing to share what they have in their hands with others.

What's more, it's a greedy woman like Andy Fie!

After dinner, Li Yinguang went to the bilge of the Iron Armored City again, chatted with Buhe about the progress of the 'steam airship', where the difficulties were encountered, what research results were obtained, and talked to Saipan about the recruitment and training of the guards in the Iron Armored City.

The next morning, at breakfast, Li Yinguang asked the housekeeper about the price of Goda's black fuel.

"Compared with the price when we bought the tens of thousands of kilometers, it has increased tenfold, and it only took 10,000 silver bull coins to buy it before!" Butler Goda said with a wry smile.

Li Yinguang said strangely: "So much skyrocketing? ”

That is to say, the 'black fuel' of 10,000 silver bull coins that I bought at the beginning can be realized back more than 100,000 when I sell them now.

Originally, these 'black fuels' were bought, and Li Yinguang wanted to absorb the 'mysterious gems' sewn in his heart into energy storage, but the price has risen so much now, and he is a little reluctant!

"Do you know the reason for the price increase?" Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully.

Something like 'black fuel' is the basic energy consumption of the 'smelting furnace', which is basically used in all ironclad cities, and in addition to ironclad castles, many factories, workshops, and places where smelting furnaces are installed in the town also need black fuel.

Therefore, this thing is a basic consumable, and it is still indispensable in daily life, and it is not too important to ordinary people, but it chokes the necks of the 'Iron Armored City Lords'.

Without fuel, the furnace would not work, and the Ironclad City would become a pile of rotten iron, lying in the harbor.

Steward Goda said: "There is some news, but it has not been confirmed, there are rumors that there is an unknown accident at the black fuel mining site in Yu Songlin, the largest black fuel producing area in the Mambach town area, so that the output has been greatly reduced.

Some people also say that the black fuel is controlled by several upper-level bigwigs in Manbach Town, because the 'ancient battlefield in the north of the town' appeared, and the cost of salvage was reduced, so the price of black fuel was used to regulate the market, and some people said that it was because of the heavy snow and cold that the transportation path was blocked, which caused the price of black fuel to skyrocket.

Anyway, there are different opinions, and the specific situation is not clear, but the price of 'black fuel' has not stopped since it rose some time ago, almost every day, and sometimes the price in the morning is very different from the price in the afternoon. ”

Li Yinguang frowned: "The black fuel in Manbach Town should not have been hoarded by anyone, right?" What is the situation in Yu Songlin's black fuel mining area, is it clear? ”

The housekeeper Goda shook his head: "In the past, the black fuel mining area of Yu Songlin in the Mambach area was not too important, because Yu Songlin has a large number of open-pit black fuel mines, which are being mined by hundreds of large and small forces at the same time, and the mining cost is not high, and the transportation cost, labor cost, etc., are transported to Mambach Town and then sold, that is, to make hard money, and the profit is not very high."

In previous years, whether it was winter or other seasons, the price of 'black fuel' was basically stable, and there was not much fluctuation, and even in winter, because the ironclad city lord would habitually come to Mambach Town for the winter, the price of black fuel would drop.

But this year, the price has not only not dropped, but also skyrocketed tenfold, maybe it really has something to do with the appearance of the 'Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield'! ”

Li Yinguang thought about it and said: "Maybe there will be a little relationship, but the direct relationship should not be too big, the biggest possibility is that the black fuel extractors in the Manbach area have united and controlled the price!" ”

Such a big increase, and only go up and not down, can only be done if the source of 'black fuel' is integrated!
