Liu Zheng didn't talk nonsense and directly expressed his thoughts.
"spices?"
Zheng Yueru was dumbfounded when she heard this: "But Brother Liu, where do I get the spices in Yinzhou?"
She thought this was a bit funny.
Yes, who doesn’t know that spices are profitable? Who doesn’t know that spices are highly profitable. People say that if you want to get a tael of gold for one tael, this is no joke. The main spices in this era still rely on overseas imports. China has been importing spices since ancient times.
, of course, they also have their own incense and spices, but that is also the treatment that only the royal family can have.
The earliest spices in ancient China were produced locally, such as Gracilaria, Pizhi, Shenjiao, Guigui, Mulan, Jieche, Duheng, Xinyi and more than ten kinds of herbs. However, after these spices are burned, the aroma is very dissipated.
Fast and difficult to last.
Later, agarwood and sandalwood produced in Nanyang overcame this shortcoming. The import of spices from the Silk Road also made the spice market of Chinese civilization become more prosperous than ever before.
The most popular spices on the market are frankincense, ambergris, incense, sandalwood, agarwood, etc. Among them, ambergris is the most valuable, with one or two spices worth one or two gold.
As for the fans of Fengminglou, the spices they use are also the cheapest...
It is not easy for spices made from pepper, cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves to be used in Yinzhou.
And it just so happens that the spice business is indeed what the Zheng family is good at. And the spice business even accounts for a quarter of the Zheng family's business! It is precisely because the level of civilization of the Longyan Dynasty is actually almost the same as that of the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty,
People's admiration for spices has reached its peak.
Zheng Yueru is also quite obsessed with spices.
"Brother Liu, I know spices are very profitable, but..."
She smiled bitterly and shook her head.
In Yinzhou, there are very few crops and the land is barren. Where can such things that can only be produced in the south be abundant?
“It’s not about planting, it’s about making!”
Liu Zheng chuckled.
"Do?"
Zheng Yueru was taken aback and asked curiously: "You mean, bring in the raw materials and mix them?"
This doesn’t work either!
There are already mature recipes for the combination of spices in the world. Could it be that Mr. Liu is still a guy who likes to do small experiments?
Liu Zheng shook his head, knowing that perfume is something that people of this era may have a hard time understanding. He continued to smile and said: "Miss Zheng, if I can develop a fragrance that lasts for a long time, it can even last for a day, every time
The fragrances are different, what do you think, this time we will not use the previous cooperation method, but a dividend system, and I want 70% of the profit, what do you think?"
"What?"
Zheng Yueru stood up in shock.
Spice that lasts for a day? Isn’t this a fantasy? It was quite difficult for the ancients to incense incense and stay on the body for an hour or two. It’s a day for you?
"This is impossible!"
Zheng Yueru said decisively.
Liu Zheng smiled: "It's impossible to wait until I develop it. Now I'm talking about the dividend system. What I want is the promise of profit sharing, 70%!"
He stared at Zheng Yueru closely and said: "Listen, I want 70% of the total profit! 30% of your Zheng family's, including all your costs!"
Liu Zheng explained.
He is really too poor! He must try every means to generate income, so the previous supply method can no longer meet his needs...
He wants a share!
"Split into?"
Zheng Yueru had never heard of this method before. It took Liu Zheng a long time to explain before she understood what was going on.
