The Manu brothers trekked all the way with four guards, and donated more than ten pounds of salt on the way. They still left the guards in Red Rock City as before. The two brothers took two camel beast cars and arrived in Phoenix City through a secret passage.
The third time they came, they saw the gorgeous Wangting tree again, and the two brothers realized the problem.
"Is it bigger?"
Brother Manu didn't take it seriously: "It's probably similar to the World Tree of the elves."
"Is the World Tree also related to the mother of all living things?"
"...Stop talking." Brother Manu thought this topic was a bit scary and quickly told his brother to shut up.
The World Tree is the totem of the light elves. It is said to have existed before the birth of mankind. With the conflict of civilizations, the World Tree has also migrated twice in the form of seeds... These are all told by the elves in Pangxun City.
If the Royal Tree in Phoenix City is really related to the Mother of All Living Things, does the World Tree really grow like that for no reason?
It may be related to the conflict of authority between gods. Two little people can't talk nonsense. If someone hears it, there may be disaster.
The two brothers went to the city. This time they were well prepared and planned to try to make more money.
He drove the camel beast to the market not far from the city warehouse, took the language knowledge capsule, and started selling.
The purchase price of salt in urban warehouses is 1 yuan per kilogram, and the sales price is 1.2 yuan. However, there are shipping tonnage restrictions in urban warehouses, and now they will not be sold at all.
Based on this, the two brothers directly bid two yuan per kilogram!
They dared to ask for such a price because they knew that the locals paid very quickly. Unexpectedly, no one paid any attention to them after asking for a long time.
I grabbed two customers who were approaching and asked, and I realized that I was stupid. The juice sold for a dime outside contains salt. The locals will not become weak just because no one sells salt. Of course, they can't. Accept extremely outrageous prices.
There is no other way. Let’s lower the price to 1.5 yuan per kilogram.
This price was only 20% higher than the warehouse's shipping price. A transaction was quickly reached, and then there was an endless stream of customers.
Another question asked him about buying five kilograms, and he got the answer: "Can you take care of me when I go back to make salt and nuts?"
There are still many rich people, and the 600 kilograms of salt will be gone in a short time.
Next up is the spices.
Spices are not something that ordinary people can consume. Even if yellow silk is sold very cheaply in Pangxun City this year, each pound is still nearly a month's income for a low-level laborer.
If we follow this ratio and calculate the local basic salary of one yuan per day, and then convert pounds into kilograms, yellow silk will cost at least 60 to 80 yuan locally, which is outrageous and will definitely not be easy to sell.
It is better to go directly to the city warehouse and get the official guide price first, and then consider whether to retail or sell in bulk.
As usual, go trouble the guard brother again.
The guard called the captain. The captain asked if he could eat it. When he got the affirmative answer, he dipped a little bit with his finger and put it in his mouth.
"You make your own bid."
"Six...sixty yuan?" Brother Manu tried to quote, but his confidence was a bit lacking.
The captain frowned and pointed at the notice board. The top purchase price on it was only thirty yuan.
"Then... thirty yuan?" I already knew it was unlikely, but I still wanted to try.
The captain frowned more and more. Looking at the two green-skinned men who had been here several times, he decided to give it a try: "In this case, you will definitely not be happy if I make an offer. I will find a big shot for you."
"Ah!? Don't, don't, don't! You can set whatever price you want, and as long as you don't lose money, sell it!" Brothers like Manu are most afraid of meeting big shots, and no one will know about it even after they die.
Their bottom line is actually no profit, because as long as they can exchange spices for heavier obsidian, they will not lose money.
The captain ignored them, shouted "wait" and took them out. The two Manu brothers were so anxious that they could neither stand nor sit, and running away was a direct courtship of death.
After waiting for a while, the captain came back, followed by a middle-aged woman.
The moment I see a woman,
Brother Manu was shaking like chaff.
A human being!
In the forbidden area of the exile, a dark place, a city with at least tens of thousands of night tribes and sharp blades, a human appeared!
Before the two of them could make any guesses, the captain of the warehouse guard told the answer directly: "This is the chamber manager, Ms. Elena, and she is responsible for all the spice quotations."
Spices are an extremely complex system. Under the productivity conditions after the disaster, they cannot even be called luxury goods, and few people have the opportunity to come into contact with spices.
In order to carry out reasonable spice quotations in the new world, this system is led by Elena, plus several warehouse guard captains from tropical nodes. The smell of plants other than floral fragrance is basically to repel insects, which is a strong demand for tropical plants. Although the warehouse guard captain does not have complete knowledge of spices, he has at least been exposed to some.
Brother Manu's green skin turned a little black when he heard the words "inner chamberlain". He pulled his brother and knelt down to kowtow.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Elena was a little scared looking at the two green-skinned ones, but after hanging out among the monsters for a long time, she could barely maintain her appearance: "Get up, we don't need to kneel here."
Upon hearing this, Brother Manu stood up slowly, staring at his toes and not daring to raise his head.
Elena ignored them and dipped in some spices, identifying them by smelling and tasting them.
This is a spice similar to turmeric, with a more complex aroma and a spiciness similar to that of ginger.
Turning to face Qingpi, he asked, "Can you tell me what uses this spice has besides cooking?"
Brother Manu immediately replied: "Sir, the yellow silk can be made into incense with other raw materials and used for indoor pest control."
Point deduction items.
This is related to the fragrance type. If it is a relatively pure aromatic and light fragrance type, it can be used for clothing incense and steaming incense, which is a bonus and is closer to the positioning of luxury goods.
"How much is it produced? How far away is it from here?"
These two questions were a bit complicated. Fortunately, the brothers had done a lot of homework to choose suitable spices and were able to answer: "Sir, the yellow silk is produced by the orcs. We don't know the specific production volume. We only know that It’s a good harvest this year. It takes half a month to reach Pangxun City by water. It’s more than three hundred miles and ten days to get here from Pangxun City.”
Elena thinks it's amazing that Qingpi can speak Hindi, but this matter can be discussed later.
After listening to the introduction of spices by the two people, I realized that the price of spices of five to thirty yuan is still low. This is an international transit trade. The size of the two green-leathered camel beasts seems to be very average, which will increase the price. Improve step by step.
But she can't give too high a price, because now she represents a city warehouse, not a royal purchase. Spices must have a price that ordinary workers can at least reluctantly accept. Otherwise, it is better not to open this category in the warehouse.
The purchase price is 13 yuan per kilogram, and the market price is 20 to 50% higher, with the highest price around 20 yuan. It is still expensive for most people with a salary of one yuan a day, but spices are not sold kilogram by kilogram. A gram is enough for a while. Each family spends ten to twenty yuan on three to four spices every six months, which should be acceptable.
After a short while of thinking, Elena gave a quotation: "Twelve yuan per kilogram. If you bring more next time, you can increase it by one yuan. This is my quotation. If you feel that the profit is not enough, you can increase the delivery price. List it down with the trip losses, and we’ll talk about it later.”
It’s lower than the best expectations of the Manu brothers, but not too much lower, and it’s actually quite reasonable!
In terms of trade profit, the purchase price of each kilogram of yellow silk is 1.2 gold coins. Twelve yuan can buy 2.4 kilograms of obsidian. Even an ordinary large piece of non-cracked obsidian costs at least 2.5 to 3 gold coins. The round-trip profit ratio is enough.
Of course, it is still far behind compared with salt, but when the Manu brothers’ capital is large enough, salt will inevitably retreat from its position as the main trading commodity. For the same 600 kilograms, the profit from a round trip of salt is between 210 and 240 gold coins. It only takes no more than 300 gold coins to find Sister Liv, but the net profit from 600 kilograms of yellow silk can exceed 700 gold coins!
"We accept. uu read" Brother Manu wanted to pretend to be reluctant, but faced with such an outrageous high-ranking official, he did not dare to play tricks.
I can't say mainly about the delivery price and travel losses.
Elena did not leave immediately and asked about what had just aroused her interest: "Who did you learn Hindi from?"
"Sir, it's a language knowledge magic capsule. I bought it in a magic prop shop."
magic! This is exactly what Wang is thinking about.
Moreover, from the perspective of education for all, language literacy capsules are also very beneficial to the popularization of official languages.
"Selling the language knowledge capsule to this city, how much will it cost based on 100% gross profit margin?"
Manu blinked, not having the mental arithmetic ability at all: "Sir, I have to do the math with my brother to find out."
"Please feel free to do so."
The two brothers calculated it through Didi Gugu and gave the price: "Let me tell you, sir, there are two kinds of language general knowledge capsules we can buy. One can last for three days. It costs four yuan a piece in Phoenix City, but the output is It's very limited. You can only get ten or twenty pieces if you order in advance. The other kind can last for ten days and costs fifteen yuan a piece. Its supply will be larger, but it will take a long time to stock up. "
"Okay, you can bring a few next time and sell them directly to him." Elena pointed to the warehouse guard captain, "If you can find the magic study notes, you can also ask me to come down for an interview."
"Yes, sir. I still have one in my hand, give it to you."
Elena gave a smile and showed her dimples: "Did you know that if you give something to an official, it will be hung on the city gate?"
Brother Manu quickly put the capsule away.
