Li Yinguang thought about it for a while and said: "We really can't raise the price. In the future, the market retail price of 'Madame's Perfume' will be increased to 199 silver cow coins per bottle. The commission allocated to Andifei will remain unchanged, and each bottle will still be given to her."
One hundred silver bull coins."
After a slight pause, he continued: "Starting from the third issue of 'Lady's Newspaper', the rule of producing one bottle of Lady's perfume for every ten newspapers will be changed to one bottle for every hundred copies!"
Alma frowned and asked in confusion: "'Lady's Perfume' is in a seller's market, why do we still have to control sales?"
Li Yinguang said with a smile: "If only a thousand bottles of Lady's perfume are sold in the Manbach area every year, it will be a god forever. Women will flock to her and raise the price to buy it. If it has a premium, it is a luxury product, because others
It cannot be easily bought, but if the castle shop can sell a thousand bottles every month, it is an ordinary commodity and something that can be easily obtained. Who would go crazy for it?
The money at the moment is just under our noses. This money is destined not to accumulate into mountains. We must look further. If 'Lady's Perfume' cannot become a brand in a small place like Manbach Town, it will become a brand for women.
How can we talk about going out to see a wider world for the luxury goods we dream of?"
'Lady's Perfume' is not difficult to make. As long as there is a corresponding formula, the cost can be as low as a dozen copper bull coins. With the high-end outer packaging, the cost is less than ten silver bull coins. If the outer packaging is
If you remove it, you can completely dump it at a low price.
The problem is, if you sell 100,000 bottles at a low price, you may not make as much as if you sold a thousand bottles of a luxury product at a high price, so why should you destroy your own brand?
Even in front of Andy Fei, Li Yinguang's attitude was very clear. To ensure the brand awareness of 'Madame Perfume', not only would it not increase sales, but it would also squeeze the difficulty of purchasing 'Madam Perfume' again, and even in the future.
There will no longer be ordinary purchasing channels, and qualification certificates are required to purchase 'Lady's Perfume'.
The qualification certificate is similar to a lottery, try your luck. For example, in the future, Lady's Perfume will only be generated among users who purchase the ' Lady's Newspaper'. One hundred users will have a quota, and ' Lady's Perfume' will be compared with ' Lady's Newspaper'.
Deep binding. And Li Yinguang did this too!
In addition to the relatively high number of winning numbers in the first and second issues of Madam Newspaper, the amount of lottery tickets must be reduced when the third issue is issued.
The calculation is based on the sales of 3,000 copies of each issue of "The Lady's Newspaper", and one purchase quota is generated for every 100 copies, so there are still 30 bottles in each issue.
The key is that the 'Gui Fu Bao' is not published on a monthly basis, but perhaps once a week. Based on this calculation, it can generate about 120 bottles of purchase quota every month.
It is not very high, and it can be fully accommodated by the market in the Manbach Town area, with a corresponding premium, and it can also guarantee the sales volume of the 'Lady's Newspaper'.
Taking a step back, even if the Lady's Perfume doesn't make money, Li Yinguang can still make a lot of money by selling three thousand copies of the Lady's Newspaper every issue.
Therefore, there is no need to have any trouble with Andy Fei over the previously set share of the 'Lady's Perfume'. After all, the matter has been agreed upon, and no one will be willing to share what they have in their hands with such things as interests.
other people.
What's more, it's a greedy woman like Andifei!
After dinner, Li Yinguang ran to the bilge of the Iron Armor City again and chatted with Buhe about the progress of the 'steam airship', where difficulties were encountered, and what research results were obtained. He also talked to Saipan about the recruitment and training of guard members in the Iron Armor City.
.
The next morning, during breakfast, Li Yinguang asked the housekeeper about the price of black fuel.
"The price has increased tenfold compared to when we originally purchased the tens of thousands of kilometers. In the past, we only needed 10,000 silver bull coins to purchase it!" said the housekeeper Goda with a wry smile.
Li Yinguang said strangely: "Suddenly increased by so much?"
In other words, if the ‘black fuel’ of 10,000 silver bull coins purchased at the beginning is now resold, more than 100,000 can be realized in cash.
Originally, Li Yinguang wanted to buy these 'black fuels' to absorb them into energy storage for the 'mysterious gems' stitched on his heart. But now that the price has increased so much, he is a little reluctant to part with them!
"Have you found out the reason for the price increase?" Li Yinguang asked thoughtfully.
Things like 'black fuel' are the basic energy consumption of 'smelting furnaces' and are used in basically all armored cities. In addition to armored cities, there are many factories, workshops and places where smelting furnaces are installed in the town.
Also requires black fuel.
Therefore, this item is a basic consumable and is indispensable in daily life. It is not too important to ordinary people, but it strangles the necks of the 'Iron Armored City Lords'.
Without fuel, the smelting furnace will not be able to work, and the armored city will become a pile of iron, lying in the port.
Butler Goda said: "There are some news, but none of them have been confirmed. There are rumors that an unknown accident occurred at the black fuel mining mine in Yusonglin, the largest black fuel producing area in the Manbach Town area, resulting in a significant reduction in output.
Some people also say that black fuel is controlled by a few upper-class bosses in Manbach Town. Because of the emergence of the "Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield", the cost of salvage has been reduced, so the price of black fuel is increased to regulate the market. Others say it is because of the heavy snow and cold.
Blocking the transportation route will cause 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 started to rise some time ago. It is almost the same price every day, and sometimes there is a huge difference between the price in the morning and the price in the afternoon.”
Li Yinguang frowned: "Is it true that the black fuel in Manbach Town has been hoarded by everyone? What is the situation in Yu Songlin's black fuel mining area? Do you know?"
Butler Goda shook his head: "In the past, the Yusonglin black fuel mining area in the Manbach area was not taken seriously because there are a large number of open-pit black fuel mines in Yusonglin, which are being mined by hundreds of forces, large and small, at the same time. The mining cost is not high.
After excluding transportation costs, labor costs, etc., transporting it to Manbach Town and then selling it is just making hard money, and the profit is not very high.
In the past few years, whether it was winter or other seasons, the price of 'black fuel' was basically stable and did not fluctuate much. Even in winter, because the Lord of the Iron Armored City would habitually come to Manbach Town for winter,
The price of black fuel will also drop.
But this year, instead of falling, prices have skyrocketed tenfold, which may have something to do with the appearance of the ‘Zhenbei Ancient Battlefield’!”
Li Yinguang thought about it and said: "Maybe there is some relationship, but the direct relationship should not be too big. The most likely thing is that the black fuel miners in the Manbach area unite to control the price!"
Such a huge increase, and it can only rise but not fall, can only be achieved by integrating the sources of ‘black fuel’!
