Chapter 117 Sales
What are you going to do after going through so much trouble to get strong acid slime? Of course it is to make acid.
Acid has a wide range of uses and is used in many industries and laboratories.
Originally, Winster could also provide Irving with a common acid-making method. He only needed to purchase a large amount of raw materials from outside and prepare them in the laboratory.
But when he heard that there was a monster here that could produce acid, he immediately became interested and urged Owen to find a way to get one. Maybe this biological method of making acid would be more convenient.
Of course, no one has done this before, so whether it can be successful or not? It remains to be studied.
Therefore, Irving needs to be prepared with both hands, just in case.
In addition to strong acid slime, he also purchased a variety of raw materials from Heint for experiments in the laboratory.
"Oh, by the way! President Masha, have you prepared everything else?" Owen asked.
Heint smiled slightly and said confidently: "Although the things you want are many and complicated, we have prepared them all. Minerals such as green vitriol are all loaded on the ship. You can send your men to inspect them at any time."
Green vitriol can be used to produce sulfuric acid, which is one of the necessary acids.
"That's not necessary. I believe President Masha will just send someone to move the goods later. Then I will pay you the previously agreed price for the acid slime and the goods on the ship."
After saying that, Owen turned to look at Ryan and motioned for him to take out the money he had prepared and hand it to him.
Ryan took out a bag full of gold coins, which was filled with more than fifty gold coins. After all, this was a special commission, and the price demanded by the other party was naturally high.
Heint motioned to the men behind him to take the money for him, and said with a smile: "What a pleasant transaction, thanks to the trust of the Marquis."
In due time, Clive had the display ready.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ryan handing over a large sum of money to the other party. He couldn't help showing a pained expression, but he quickly returned to normal.
Quickly walking to Owen's side, Clive whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty the Marquis, everything is ready here."
"Um."
Owen nodded, then turned to look at Heint, trying to sell: "Oh, by the way! President Masha, our Bianzhu Town has recently produced some novel products. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"
"A novel product?" Heint looked interested, "Since Lord Marquis recommends it so, I must take a look."
"Clive." Owen called softly.
Clive immediately went to the door and let the servant in.
Four servants walked into the reception room with trays in their hands and stood in a row. On the trays were placed two different qualities of paper, pencils and cement powder.
Owen introduced Heint from the first one on the left and picked up a piece of light gray paper.
"This is our specialty paper in Bianzhu Town. It is a substitute for parchment paper. Of course, this is inferior quality, and there are also good quality ones."
Picking up the white paper on the next end plate, Owen put the two papers together for comparison and showed them to the other party.
"Oh? A substitute for parchment?"
Heint touched the two types of paper curiously, then picked it up and tinkered with it a few times.
The surface is smooth and very thin. If it is really used as a substitute for parchment paper, it seems to be pretty good.
"Can I try it?" Heint asked.
"certainly."
Owen asked Ryan to take out the ink and quill he had prepared in advance.
Picking up the quill, Heint dipped it in ink and wrote a line of words on both types of paper.
Seeing a line of clear writing on it, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! This is really an incredible product."
As an excellent businessman, Heint keenly sensed business opportunities.
The advantages of paper are obviously incomparable to those of parchment. If it can be mass-produced, it will not be a problem to replace parchment.
"I wonder what the output of these two types of paper is? What's the price?" Heint asked impatiently.
"Excluding failed products, the current output is about 5,000 pieces per day, and this is not the limit. I plan to further expand the production scale in the future. As for the price..."
Just when Owen was about to quote the price, Clive suddenly interrupted: "A piece of poor quality paper costs two silver coins, and a piece of good quality paper costs ten silver coins."
Thanks to the papermaking technology provided by Winster, the cost of making paper is much lower than that of parchment, and the price quoted just now is far higher than Owen's psychological expectations.
I saw Clive winking at him, and Owen turned to look at Heint, only to find that the other party happily accepted the price.
"How much do you plan to sell for? I want them all!" Heint said proudly.
Making a lot of money so easily was somewhat beyond Owen's expectation.
At this time, Clive quietly came over and whispered: "Your Majesty the Marquis, paper is currently a rare commodity and can only be produced in Border Guard Town. With the advantages of paper, even if it is sold at the same price as parchment paper, it will not be sold at the same price as parchment paper.
questionable."
If Heint could really sell all the paper at the price of parchment, the profit would be greater than what Irving made.
After listening to Clive's words, Owen realized again that he was not good at business matters, so he would leave it to Clive to deal with it later.
"Also, I wonder if I can reserve the next batch of paper by paying a deposit?" Heint asked again.
Do you want to guarantee future production? Owen was secretly happy, at least the paper would not have to worry about sales.
Owen winked at Clive, who immediately understood and stood up.
"Next, I will negotiate on behalf of the Marquis. President Masha, how much paper do you want to order? How often do you plan to come to pick up the goods?"
Clive was very good at dealing with businessmen, and he quickly negotiated the paper sale, and the two parties were just about to sign a contract.
"Wait a moment, President Masha." Owen said promptly, "We haven't finished introducing the products yet."
"Oh! That's right." Heint raised his hand to his forehead, "Look at how anxious I am, please continue."
Since it was something Clive was good at, Owen simply asked him to introduce the remaining products to Heint.
The next product was pencils. After Heint tried it, he boldly announced that he would buy them all.
Pencils are much more convenient than quills. They can leave writing on paper without ink.
Sold together with paper, there will definitely be good sales, and Heint obviously saw the business opportunities.
Finally, there was cement. After listening to Clive's introduction and two small stone samples bonded together, Heint was also very interested in this.
Since there are many construction projects in Bianzhu Town that use cement, Irving does not plan to sell too much. He just wants to sell part of it to convert money into developing the territory.
Therefore, the price of cement was raised extremely high by Clive, as high as one hundred gold coins per bag.
Even so, Heint bought them all without blinking an eye.
