Lord of Rot

Chapter 181: Just buy this? (page 12)

the next day.

Claude got up early and came to the gate of the castle.

The knight's servant Carrot stood at the door: "The lord is not feeling well and won't see anyone today."

"Ah, this..." Claude's whole face wrinkled.

He didn't meet anyone, which meant he still couldn't talk about the Porcupine soap business?

His main purpose is soap.

The caravan's business is good, and here and there people come to buy things.

"If you can rent a shop here and sell things here on a regular basis." Claude looked at the planned commercial area and had to admit that this place was well planned and orderly. Compared to Donggang City, it was a mess.

As a businessman, Claude feels that this is what business should be like.

"Good day, Lord Claude."

"Good day." Claude turned around and saw Qiao: "Sir Qiao! Can you think of a way for me to meet the Lord?"

Qiao smiled bitterly: "Claude, if I go to Eastport City, please help me meet Mr. Leopold. Can you help?"

"Ah...this"

Claude opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

How could Sir Leopold pay any attention to him? In fact, Claude was not a top businessman in Donggang City. He was just a middle-level businessman. His ability to survive from being unknown to the present was all due to his decisive actions.

Just like this time, he keenly grasped the soap market and set out immediately.

The goods in the caravan are all from his sincerity.

But it seemed that Baron Porcupine was not very satisfied with his sincerity.

"How was that drink last night?" Joe asked.

"I have never drunk that kind of wine," Claude recalled, thinking that it should be a collection of porcupine collars.

Joe said, "I think before we talk about soap, we could talk about porcupine wine."

"Porcupine wine?" Claude was surprised: "You mean, that kind of wine is brewed by Porcupine Collar?"

"To be precise, it was brewed by the lord."

"hiss!"

"I admire the wisdom of Lord Clarence!"

Isn't Porcupine Baron famous for being brainless? Why have so many inventions been made, including ice cream, porcupine wine, porcupine soap, and cement floors?

Claude immediately said: "I am very interested in this business!"

Claude couldn't see Li Qi for the next whole day, but with Joe's introduction, he saw the huge business potential of the Porcupine Collar.

On the third day, the "sick" Baron Reach finally received Claude.

Looking at the energetic Li Qi, Claude had already guessed what the other person was thinking, but he still said: "May the Four Gods bless you with good health."

Being forced to stay, Claude gained even more, just the porcupine wine was worth the trip.

"Claude, I heard that you want to discuss soap business?"

"Yes, my lord" finally got to the point, Claude said quickly: "I hope to buy Porcupine brand soap in bulk."

"The cost of Porcupine brand soap is very high." Li Qi was puzzled: "And the technology is complicated. If you want a large batch, it is very difficult... How much do you want?"

Why does the first sentence say that it cannot be produced, and the next sentence directly asks how many I want, I want 1000 copies, can you produce it?

Of course, Claude didn't dare to say this.

"Sir, before we talk about the share, I think we should talk about the price first." Claude spoke very straightforwardly. He believed that there was no need to go through all the twists and turns when talking to a lord who didn't understand business.

"The cost price of each soap is 30 silver months." Li Qi shook his head: "This price cannot be lowered, the cost price is low, and it is very troublesome to make. I can sell you 50 copies a month at most."

Only 50 copies?

Then what are you doing in the porcupine collar?

Claude inquired carefully before coming here. In less than half a month, Li Qi sold more than a hundred soaps. He believed that Porcupine Collar can produce at least 500-600 soaps every month. If he wins this business, the profit will be Very impressive.

"My lord, there are too few."

Of course, there are few, but there are only a few aristocrats in Donggang City, and the sales volume of one or two hundred copies is overwhelming. Li Qi has no intention of making a lot of money by selling high-priced soaps.

Luxury goods must be linked to low output, and things are more expensive when they are scarce.

If tens of thousands of copies are produced a month, the price of 30 silver months will arouse suspicion.

Moreover, nobles like to be superior to others, and it is best used only in small circles.

"I can't help it." Li Qi shook his head: "I hired a master craftsman to make it."

Recalling the little lame leg marinated in salted duck eggs with lime, Li Qi said without blushing or out of breath: "This requires very complicated steps. Among the raw materials, the floral aroma is even the cheapest part."

"but……"

Hearing this, Claude raised his head suddenly, and there was a turning point.

"However, if you are not looking for a strong fragrance and just want a cheap soap that is much less effective, I will supply it in large quantities."

"Cheap soap?" Claude hesitated.

The reason why soap attracts him is because of its high price, which means more room for manipulation.

Moreover, cheap soap loses its value if it is too different.

Li Qi ordered the valet to bring two portions of soap.

The low-priced soap is smaller than the noble one. It looks like a small square brick with only a porcupine emblem on it as the brand logo. The scent is very weak and almost non-existent.

The high-priced soap on the side has a more exquisite outer packaging, is engraved with flowers, and has a strong floral fragrance.

"Can I try?" Claude asked.

"certainly"

The valet brought a basin of water, and Claude wet his hands. He had carefully inquired about how to use soap before coming, so he was not unfamiliar with it.

First he washes his hands with cheap soap.

I quickly worked out a lather and washed it with water, leaving a faint milky scent on my hands.

Then there are the overpriced soaps.

There is not much difference in the experience, except that the high-priced soap smells very good.

"What's the price of this low-priced soap?"

"3 Silver Moon" Li Qi raised his finger.

Directly reduced by 10 times!

At this price, most residents in Donggang City can afford it. Such a piece of soap can last for several months and can be used by the whole family. The price is not expensive.

Claude knew that soap could deodorize, and residents could not afford perfume, so this soap would definitely be snapped up.

The residents of Donggang City, who live a prosperous life, care more about the quality of life.

“How much can you produce per day?”

"It depends on how much you buy."

Does this mean that cheap soap can be mass-produced?

"Ten thousand yuan," Claude gritted his teeth and said, "I can buy 10,000 yuan and try it out first."

After discovering the business opportunity, Claude was sure that the businessmen in Donggang City would come to Porcupine Territory like hyenas. He had to show his courage and make Baron Porcupine think that he was a good collaborator and that he was not afraid of failing to sell the soap.

The soap that is popular among the aristocratic class in Donggang City is inferior to this, but cheaper and will definitely be robbed.

"Yes." Li Qi agreed simply.

Ten thousand pieces of soap, plus two people to help the little lame leg, can be easily made.
