The Defeated Dragon

This chapter adds more rewards for Xuanzong.

My lord, the response to the flower soap is very strong. Many nobles have proposed to buy flower soap.

Sherlock often travels between North Valley City and Flower Town. As a businessman under Liszt, with the birth of the Thorn Elf, he also rises with the tide, and he seems to be a heavyweight in North Valley City's business circle.

After he got the feedback, he immediately reported to Liszt.

Merchants are people who are good at observing words and deeds. Sherlock knows that this young lord may not be keen on power and mundane affairs. But he likes to have all the information, and he doesn't like anyone to blind him. Therefore, he always looks for opportunities to report to Liszt.

It seems that flower soap has already brewed a good start, so let's do it. I look forward to seeing flower soap dominate the Coral Island soap market.

As you wish, Lord Lord! Sherlock replied loudly, Sherlock is willing to dedicate all his strength to Lord Lord's wish!

Liszt looked at Sherlock, who was suspected of flattering, and was in a good mood: Don't let me down, Mr. Sherlock.

Sherlock was even more excited when he heard such a title suffix, My lord, please rest assured!

After leaving the castle, he was ambitious.

Knowing that he is about to use the flower soap to gain a status no less than that of Harpagon in the heart of the lord, and he may even be on par with the old Grandet.

I need manpower, spread the news for me! Spread the word of mouth of the flower soap to the six cities on Coral Island, and every small town below... First of all, let those caravans selling soap understand that flower soap can be cheaper, But the quality is better. They get more profit for every flower soap sold.”

Flower soap obviously cannot be given away for free in large quantities. Sherlock, eager to spread word of mouth and dominate the market, decided to lower the shipping price.

The effect of any advertisement is not as good as allowing the seller to make more money, which comes quickly,

What? Flower soap, which is better than scented soap, only needs one silver coin plus fifty copper plates? A traveling merchant shouted out in surprise.

That's right, you need one silver coin plus 80 copper coins to buy soap from Baron Henderson, and you can only earn 20 copper coins when you resell it. But selling flower soap will be a profit of 50 copper coins, It is equivalent to selling two and a half pieces of soap, you can calculate this account yourself.

But flower soap is really that good?

The nobles of Chatan City have already used it,

Everyone is raving about it, you can safely ask. Also, I have a used bar of flower soap here that I can let you try out.

Of course, the traveling merchant would not listen to Sherlock's words out of thin air, so he called for water and tried the flower soap.

The extra foam, smooth texture, cleansing effect, and skin firming experience after use all let the traveler understand that flower soap is indeed better than ordinary soap.

Replacing the scented soap with floral soap will undoubtedly do the trick.

Sherlock added a sentence with the winning chance: If you plan to order, you have to make a decision quickly. The soap making workshop in Huahua Town has limited production. When the nobles compete for Huahua soap, maybe we will increase its price. .”

The price increase defeated the last hesitation of the traveler.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, Then, Captain Sherlock, I want to order five pieces... No, I want to order ten pieces of flower soap!

Snapping his fingers, Sherlock wrote down the traveler's order on the cardboard: A wise decision. Then he collected the traveler's deposit and agreed to deliver the goods in three days.

Get up and leave.

Holding the thick paper tightly in his hand, seven orders were recorded on it, which belonged to seven traveling merchants in North Valley City, and they mainly operated the trade routes in the small towns around North Valley City.

And these seven traveling merchants ordered a total of fifty-eight pieces of flower soap.

There are also many aristocrats who order flower soap directly over the traveling merchants. For example, the butler of Baron Gaerta ordered a full eight pieces of flower soap from him.

Captain Sherlock, we have a perfect start, flower soap will become a luxury sought after by the nobles! They will be inseparable from flower soap in the future! the deputy said happily.

Sherlock smiled reservedly: According to the use of soap, North Valley City can sell 300 pieces of soap a month, and Snake Spear City, Crushed Stone City, Yulin City, and Birch City are about the same, adding up to 1,500 pieces. Soap. Coral City has the most nobles, lords, knights, quasi-jazz, and rich freedmen, and at least 2,000 pieces of soap are used up a month.

That is to say, flower soap dominates the soap market.

Coral Island can sell 3,500 pieces of soap a month, plus Beer Island can sell at least 300 pieces, and Flower Town’s own use, the monthly shipment is close to 4,000 pieces.

Four thousand pieces of flower soap! Sherlock couldn't hold back when he thought of such a scene, and grinned, One flower soap, one silver coin plus fifty copper plates, that's enough...

He couldn't figure it out.

Simply wring your fingers and calculate, and finally find out that the monthly sales volume is 6,000 silver coins. The cost of flower soap is only 40 copper coins, which means that you can earn 4,400 silver coins in a month.

With the unification of the flower soap market, the price can be raised to the price of one silver coin plus 80 copper plates, which is the original wholesale price of soap.

As for the cost, as long as Baron Henderson is squeezed out and the price of soap powder is suppressed, it can be further reduced.

He roughly estimated that it could be compressed to thirty copper plates.

The net profit equal to one piece of flower soap is one silver coin plus fifty copper plates, and the total profit for a month reaches sixty gold coins.

You can earn two gold coins a day.

Compared to the heyday of the seafood business, with a net profit of nearly four gold coins a day, Flower Soap is slightly inferior, but the cost of manpower and material resources in this business is lower... Moreover, the business of Flower Soap is dominated by me! No matter what The thorn caravan or the flower caravan must cooperate with me!

With such confidence, Sherlock met Abagon who came from Coral City, and discussed with him how to unify the Coral Island market.

But Sherlock never expected that Abagon came prepared.

This fellow from Little Papa Island squinted at him: Sherlock, your vision is too narrow. Unifying the Coral Island market is not a skill. With the advantages of flowers and soap, you don't need much action, and you can gradually eliminate them. Ordinary soap. I think we should turn our attention to the outer islands and civilians!

Outer islands? Civilians? Sherlock was stunned.

Flower soap can be made into a special product of Coral Island, and it is exported to outer islands through the channels of Tulip Fort and Beer Fort. At the same time, I asked Bunier, and the flower soap is full of materials. But reducing the use of materials can produce poor results. Some common soaps are available for civilian use at a low cost.

Abagon smiled triumphantly, and gave Sherlock a provocative look: I have already reported to the lord, and the lord supports my ideas and plans!

Knowing hit!

Sherlock was a little confused.
