Chapter 113: Hot and Hot
Fifteen taels of silver for a bottle of perfume? Hearing this price, a gasp suddenly sounded all around.
This price is too expensive. The best rouge gouache in Manjing can't be sold at this price.
Your perfume, even if it is better, can it be sold at such a price?
"Fifteen taels? Your price is too expensive, why don't you grab it? β
"That's right, is your perfume made of gold?"
"This must be a black-hearted shop, sisters, don't buy it, look at who this black-hearted shop sells to."
Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper suddenly panicked.
He also felt that this price was too expensive, and the price of the best rouge gouache in the capital was only sold for twelve taels of silver.
And a bottle of their perfume costs fifteen taels of silver.
The shopkeeper also reminded the eldest young master that the price was too expensive, but their eldest young master insisted on selling at this price.
and also explained to him that if someone is too expensive, he can say this and that.
The shopkeeper hurriedly followed the instructions of the eldest young master and said, "Everyone, everyone, the price of perfume is indeed not cheap. But do you know why the price of this perfume is so expensive? β
"Cut! This doesn't need to be asked, it's your black heart! β
"That's it, this thing is so expensive for your shop, you came to ask us why it's so expensive?"
"That's it, that's it, even if he says flowers today, don't buy them!"
The shopkeeper Gao became even more flustered, and he hurriedly said: "Everyone, this perfume is extracted from fresh flower petals. Do you know how many flowers take to extract a drop of flower juice? It costs ten catties, and just buying these ten catties of petals costs one or two pieces of silver. β
Not to mention, this perfume also adds all kinds of precious spices, as well as all kinds of precious herbs. Like agarwood and sandalwood, isn't that the same price as gold? β
"There are other precious medicinal materials, because of the formula, it is inconvenient for Xiao Lao'er to say more, but the price is extremely expensive."
"These are just raw materials, and the process of making this perfume is even more complicated. A total of 8864 processes are required before and after, and hundreds of people are required to use labor. Do the math, how much does this labor salary cost alone? β
"The cost price of this bottle of perfume is almost thirteen taels of silver. Our shop sells fifteen taels of one bottle, which is really a conscience price. β
"These two taels of silver will also be deducted from the rent of the shop, and then minus the wages. A bottle of perfume, the profit of the contempt is only a few hundred dollars. At this price, the contempt is really not profitable. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, this perfume is extremely cumbersome to make, we only have a thousand bottles in our store at the moment, and after selling out this thousand bottles, the next time we want to buy it, it will have to wait five days. Even after five days, I don't know how much I can take out. β
"Ladies and gentlemen, the number of perfumes is limited, so hurry up and buy them! It's late, but I can't buy it. β
In the private room on the third floor of the restaurant opposite, Jia Huan watched this scene with interest.
"This senior shopkeeper is also a talent."
Xue Pan laughed and said: "This old man is not bad, this is all done according to Brother Huan'er's instructions." β
"By the way, Brother Huan, let's tell the outside world that the cost of perfume is thirteen taels. We can only make a few hundred dollars for a bottle, and it is only three or four hundred taels of silver to sell a thousand bottles a day. No one can look at this bit of silver, right? How about we sell a thousand bottles a day? β
Xue Pan has a lot of inventory in his hand, and he can earn silver for white flowers when he sells it.
But now it takes five days to sell a thousand bottles, which makes Xue Pan's heart itch.
He was so eager to make a lot of money that he would slap the little man in the face.
Of course, the first thing to hit is his mother and his sister's face......
Jia Huan couldn't help but say disdainfully: "Brother Xue, you think everyone else is a fool." You say that a bottle of perfume can make hundreds of dollars, and others will believe it? β
"Especially those peers, can you still fool them? They can definitely deduce that the cost of a bottle of perfume is definitely not more than five taels of silver. A thousand bottles of perfume, we can earn 5,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels a day, do you think they won't be tempted? β
In fact, the cost of perfume is less than one or two silver for a bottle.
Selling a bottle of perfume, they earn at least fourteen taels of silver with tears.
Hearing this, Xue Pan said fearfully for a while: "Yes, it's still Brother Huan'er who thinks thoughtfully." Now we sell a thousand bottles of perfume in five days, which is enough to make people blush, and we can't do it any more. β
Just as the two were talking, most of the ladies and ladies who were watching below suddenly dispersed.
The price of fifteen taels of silver a bottle dissuaded most people.
This price is not something that a small family can afford.
But there were still more than a dozen people left, and they walked into the Xue family's perfume shop.
These people are basically potential customers, and as long as they enter the shop, they are basically a must-buy.
Don't look at the few people who buy it now, just because the news hasn't come out yet.
When more and more women know about the existence of perfume, their business will only become more and more popular.
After all, it won't be long before perfume becomes a status symbol.
If someone else has something you don't have, then you will be compared to others immediately.
For those ladies and daughters, this was worse than killing them.
is like those luxury goods in later generations, everyone knows that this is obviously paying IQ tax, why are those rich women still rushing to this?
Isn't it because they need this to prop up the faΓ§ade?
Sure enough, as time went by, the Xue family's perfume shop gradually became lively.
There are more and more women who come to buy perfumes, and there is an endless stream.
By noon, the 1,000 bottles of perfume that had been prepared in advance were all sold out.
And those ladies and ladies who did not buy perfume still refused to leave.
These ladies, young ladies, and several noble statuses are something that the Xue family can't afford to provoke at all.
For a while, the shopkeeper had no idea, and then he had to go to the private room here for help.
After hearing this, Xue Pan frowned and said, "It's really not good, just take out some more perfume and send them away." β
The shopkeeper nodded yes, and when he was about to leave, Jia Huan said:
"Wait, it's not right. If this is done today, it will become a case later. β
"Not to mention the collapse of our reputation, this mouth will become more and more unbearable in the future."
Xue Pan said helplessly: "Brother Huan'er, I also know that it is not easy to deal with it like this. But there are a few of them that they can't afford to provoke, and they refuse to leave, what can we do? β
Jia Huan said lightly: "It's very simple, register their names and promise to supply them first next time they have goods." If they leave a deposit, they can even have it delivered directly to their door. β
