Five hundred taels of perfume.
This is a sky-high price.
Although Duan Wenjun had thought that perfume was scarce, it would definitely be sold at a high price.
However, he never thought that it could be sold at such a high price.
What the eldest princess had just said was that a bottle of one hundred taels of silver sold to the palace was already very high for him.
These five hundred taels...
According to the cost of one tael of silver per bottle, that is a five hundred times increase.
Even if he goes by what he told the eldest princess and calculates the cost of eighty taels per bottle, that is a profit that has doubled six to seven times.
The eldest princess's method of collecting money is much more ruthless than her own.
However, he heard from Chai Jingyun that although the eldest princess lived in the palace, she also had some properties outside the palace.
She must know much more about Shangliang than she does.
Since she said she could sell it for five hundred taels, there must be no problem.
Thinking of this, Duan Wenjun hurriedly bowed and responded, "But it's up to my aunt to make the decision!"
After saying that, he changed the topic and continued, "If it hadn't been for my aunt's suggestion today, Wenjun would have just arrived here, and I really wouldn't know how to deal with this thing."
"Auntie, it's not very convenient for Wenjun to come to this palace. How about this. I'll give the perfumes of the ladies in the palace to my aunt at the cost price of eighty taels a bottle, and I will help me deal with them."
"As for the part outside the palace, as long as someone buys it, my aunt and I will share the profit in half."
Seeing the eldest princess being slightly startled, he immediately continued, "Of course Wenjun knows, my aunt will definitely not care about these small coins, but this is Wenjun's filial piety..."
The eldest princess and the mistress in the palace, this is the popular trend in Shangliang City.
If he can capture their preferences in his own hands, Duan Wenjun can be sure that this will be an immeasurable market.
He somewhat regretted that this time he only brought these two hundred bottles of mature perfume to the capital.
He had indeed considered developing the market for the ladies of the palace or the ladies of wealthy families.
But what he had thought before was that the biggest markets were brothels and art houses.
The people here are born to eat youth.
Natural pursuit of beauty will be higher than other people's.
But if the price is so high, those in the brothels and art houses may not be able to afford it.
After all, they are all miserable people.
If he had any idea, he wouldn't do this flesh and blood business.
Therefore, Duan Wenjun does not want to use such a high price to squeeze them dry...
As a result, these mature and high-quality perfumes can only be regarded as high-end products and take the high-end route.
However, in this way, some of the perfumes that Zhao Ling'er and the others had produced before that did not have a pure fragrance or did not last long enough could be sold to these people...
"Your filial piety is enough!" Just when Duan Wenjun's thoughts were drifting away, the eldest princess spoke again, "I won't share this money with you. But since you have this filial piety, why don't you Prepare some more and send them to the palace, and then give them to the ladies in each palace."
"I wonder how many bottles my aunt needs?" Duan Wenjun asked hurriedly.
I only have more than two hundred bottles in my hand now.
If the eldest princess wants too much, she will naturally have less to sell.
"Since you only have five bottles of osmanthus-scented perfume, I think you should not sell it at all." The eldest princess looked at Duan Wenjun and said slowly.
"I don't know if you have noticed, but in fact, the most planted osmanthus tree in this palace is the osmanthus tree."
"That's because, in this palace, it's not just me who loves the scent of osmanthus the most. In fact, the Queen Mother and the Empress also love this smell the most."
"So, it is most appropriate to give these two bottles to the Queen Mother and the Queen. Of course, since you have given me five bottles, it is definitely not good to give them too little. Why not give each of them two more fragrances? .”
"The Queen Mother likes elegance. I think this pear blossom perfume and jasmine perfume are very suitable."
"The Queen has a quiet temperament, which is definitely suitable for jasmine perfume. But I think that as the mother of a country, it is not good for her to be too quiet in this palace. Sometimes it is easy for the emperor to lose interest. So. , give her a bottle of peach-flavored perfume and let her make some changes, maybe it will be better."
Hearing this, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but nodded.
There are only six bottles in total, which is not too much.
Moreover, the eldest princess must have given such advice carefully.
This method of gift-giving is very incisive and adapts to people's conditions.
Seeing the eldest princess suddenly stopping and frowning, Duan Wenjun asked, "Where are the others?"
The eldest princess lowered her head and thought for a long time, then slowly raised her head, "There is also Concubine Xian, I think you need to go there too."
"After all, she is the mother of the second and fifth princes, and the daughter of the general. If you can have a good relationship with her, it will definitely be good for you to gain a foothold in the capital in the future."
Duan Wenjun was not very clear about the affairs in the palace.
But I have watched too many palace fighting dramas in my previous life.
He also knows the complicated situation involved. If he takes the wrong side, he may fall into a situation where he will never recover.
Of course, now, in the eyes of outsiders, he is standing in the eldest princess's team.
However, the eldest princess has always lived in the palace, and as the sister of Emperor Shun, she does not need to participate in those palace fights, so naturally she will not be so jealous.
Moreover, the eldest princess will look at things more objectively than others.
Since the eldest princess said it was necessary, it was necessary.
"After all, Concubine Xian comes from a family of military commanders. Her temperament is somewhat similar to that of her father, General Ye Ming. She is straight-tempered and has a somewhat hot temper."
"But she has been very favored before she came out of the cabinet. She has developed the temperament of a young lady since she was a child. Even the emperor's brother always gives her a thumbs up. And sometimes, she is a little bit competitive. If she knows that the Queen and I With that unique osmanthus perfume, if she didn't have it, she would definitely be unhappy and might do something."
"So, even though she may not like this osmanthus perfume, you still have to give her a bottle."
"Even if I give it to her, she will definitely not use it. After all, she has never liked the smell of osmanthus."
"This is also the reason why the imperial brother shows her extra favor and allows her to stay out of the palace for a while whenever the osmanthus flowers bloom in the palace."
"Of course, it's not enough for you to just give her a bottle of osmanthus perfume that she won't like very much."
"I think she might like your wildflower scented perfume. However, the name cannot be called wildflower perfume."
"She is the daughter of a military commander. What she fears most is that others will criticize her for being too wild and prone to taboos."
When she said this, the eldest princess picked up the bottle of wildflower perfume on the table and slowly read the poem above.
"The sultry scenery of spring makes people unable to feel free, and the wild flowers all over the ground do not forget their worries. Passionateness is the power of cherishing the husband, and temporarily takes advantage of the romance."
"This poem is quite good! I think back then, Concubine Xian's desperate drive for the sake of the imperial brother..."
At this point, she paused for a moment, and then continued, "Why don't you call this wild flower perfume 'Forgetting Flower Perfume' from now on!"
"Yes, this flower should be called the Flower of Forgetfulness."
The eldest princess seemed very satisfied with the name she chose and couldn't help but nodded slightly.
Duan Wenjun was very confused in his heart.
In his opinion, the name Wangqinghua seems to make people more uncomfortable than wild flowers.
I just don’t know why the eldest princess named the perfume given to Concubine Xian like this?
