Chapter 15 Doing business in partnership with Changle?
"Mr. Mu, how do you sell this soap?"
Glancing at Li Lizhi, Muchuan said tentatively: "I'm going to price it at ten taels of silver for the time being."
In fact, Muchuan was also somewhat curious about Li Lizhi's true identity.
It can be seen that this little girl must come from a famous family.
So Muchuan was ready to learn more about it, and just then he set the price at ten taels of silver.
These ten taels of silver are definitely enough for an ordinary family to spend for a year.
After hearing Muchuan say that soap only cost ten taels of silver, Li Lizhi shook her head.
She had never seen such a new thing before.
It only sells for ten taels of silver? So cheap?
Jiaoer pointed at the soap, and then said to Muchuan: "Mr. Mu, this soap is so magical, so it must require extraordinary materials, right? I think it must sell for at least fifty taels!"
After hearing Jiao'er's words, it was Muchuan's turn to be stunned.
He looked up at Jiao'er and Li Lizhi with a surprised look on his face.
These two little ladies have quite a lot of background.
He is not a court official now, but after all, he is the legitimate son of the Mu family, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an, and he is quite familiar with the salaries of some officials.
Someone who can easily take out fifty taels of silver is not considered a big deal. Who is not a big shot in the court?
I didn't expect that these two little girls would be the family members of the court boss.
It would be a good thing to get to know the big shots in the court through this opportunity.
With the influence of Changsun Wuji, an old man, his future career is full of obstacles.
If there were no other people in the court to help, I am afraid that Changsun Wuji would have dealt with him in less than two days.
This is also one of the reasons why Muchuan is anxious to start business.
Only after accumulating enough wealth can he quickly establish connections within the court.
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to get things done.
The Tang Dynasty was an era when eight hundred serious aristocratic families controlled the court.
Muchuan came from a poor family, and he succeeded in counterattacking only after passing the imperial examination.
Therefore, in terms of status, the aristocratic families and factions in the court may not recognize him.
Now we can only start with the upstarts like Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong.
There are also some wallflowers who can use money to open the way!
"Mr. Mu, what are you thinking about?"
Li Lizhi looked at Muchuan, whose face was full of thoughts, and she was very curious.
"Um?"
Muchuan finally reacted after hearing Li Lizhi's soft call.
"It's okay, I just think that fifty taels of silver is a bit high?"
Li Lizhi shook her head, indicating that she was not high-minded.
Muchuan came from a later generation and did not know much about the daily life and personal wealth of the official families of this era.
Since Li Lizhi doesn't think fifty taels of silver is enough, then she'll settle for fifty taels.
If it can't be sold, let's talk about the things that can't be sold.
An hour later, Muchuan quickly ordered his subordinates to start measuring the soap according to uniform sizes.
Muchuan had already asked someone to build some wooden boxes.
The box is covered with petals of different colors, and you can smell the floral fragrance from a distance.
The surroundings of the box are exquisitely carved, and it can be seen that they were carved by top craftsmen themselves, and the patterns and patterns on each box are different.
Li Lizhi was very puzzled after seeing Muchuan's actions in front of her.
She racked her brain and couldn't figure out why Muchuan would do this? Could it be that there was some plan?
Li Lizhi stared at the box tightly, her eyebrows full of curiosity.
Muchuan smiled and shook his head, not wanting to explain at all.
The most important reason for the different carvings on this box is to highlight its uniqueness.
This trick has long been out of date in the 21st century.
But if it were placed in the Tang Dynasty, it would be a commercial conspiracy.
International luxury brands often use this trick to release various limited-edition products.
The materials used are no different from ordinary products, but they can usually be sold for several times the price.
To the powerful courtiers, wives and daughters in the city, money is nothing more than a number.
As long as they are happy, let alone fifty taels, even a thousand taels is nothing in their eyes.
"Transport these finished products to the inner city for me..."
After the address was given, the servants present began to move in a hurry.
Instead, the old housekeeper looked at his young master and said with some worry in his heart: "Young master, you will be an official in the court in the future, and now you have started a business. I'm afraid..."
Since ancient times, all things have been of inferior quality, but only reading is of high quality.
The imperial examination is the opportunity for ordinary people to change their destiny. As for other methods, such as doing business, singing songs, etc., they are all low-level livelihoods.
Muchuan felt very irritable as he listened to the old housekeeper chattering in his ears.
He quickly said to the old housekeeper in front of him: "I understand, please don't interfere in this matter. I know the consequences of doing this, but our Mu family is a poor family. Only with money can we
paving."
The old housekeeper was obviously stunned after receiving Muchuan's answer.
He immediately realized what his young master meant.
The only trace of worry he had in his heart suddenly disappeared.
A pleased smile appeared on his face.
My young master has really grown up!
If the master knew, he would definitely be very happy, right?
Seeing the old housekeeper's reaction, Muchuan rolled his eyes.
Now that you have a shop and goods, the only thing left to consider is how to promote your soap.
If it is sold to ordinary people, then he can also use the banner of the Mu family.
After all, it has been operating in Chang'an City for many years, and Mu's business has already established a reputation for not deceiving or deceiving people.
But among the dignitaries in the inner city, Mu's golden name had no effect at all.
And he didn't even know the court bosses, Cheng Yaojin and others, so it was impossible for him to sell soap for him.
Li Lizhi looked at Muchuan in front of him and frowned, as if he was having difficulty. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Mu, what kind of difficulty have you encountered?"
"Why did I forget this little girl?"
Muchuan raised his head and glanced at Li Lizhi. After thinking for a long time, Muchuan finally said, "Miss Li, I want to discuss cooperation with you!"
Li Lizhi was puzzled when she heard about the cooperation.
On the contrary, Jiao'er on the side asked very curiously: "Mr. Mu, what kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with my lady?"
Muchuan pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Miss Li, your identity must be not simple, right? I just need you to help me promote the soap, and I can share the five levels of profits with you!"
There is nothing that can be done about it, after all, you can’t trap the wolf if you don’t want to let go of your children.
And if there is really a big shot behind this little girl, he can be considered as paving the way in advance.
If there is a cooperative relationship, this big shot will surely help me a little bit in the future.
After Jiao'er heard Muchuan's words, she covered her mouth and laughed softly.
This Muchuan is really interesting. He actually wants to start a business partnership with his own princess?
Li Lizhi was also stunned. She originally wanted to refuse. After all, she had a special status. How could she do business with others?
But then I thought about it, my father would worry about the people of Tang Dynasty every day, and worry about food and wages. If we could really make money, it would not be impossible to cooperate!
Seeing Li Lizhi's hesitant look, Muchuan was about to add some strong medicine to her.
"Miss Li, this soap is just the beginning. I promise that from now on, you will make a lot of money. In less than a year, I can make you earn as much as the Tang Dynasty in taxes for a year!"
If someone else had said this, I'm afraid Li Lizhi wouldn't believe it at all.
She didn't know why, but when Muchuan said it, she still chose to believe it in her heart.
