Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 18 Selling the Secret Recipe

Qin Tian's words were very direct, and after he finished speaking, he meant to chase away the guests.

Seeing Qin Tian like this, these businessmen were a little anxious. Their purpose of coming here was for mosquito coils. Ye Lai Incense and mosquito coils were sold well, and they saw a very broad market.

If you just leave like this, you will lose the opportunity in vain.

A businessman named Bai Qi stood up and said: "Young Master Qin laughed at me, I'm calling Bai Qi, I want to talk to Young Master Qin about the mosquito-repellent incense."

Bai Qi spoke first, and the other businessmen were afraid of losing the opportunity, so they followed suit.

"Young Master Qin, I'm going to Chenliu, and I also want to talk to you about mosquito coils."

"Under..."

Everyone was chattering, Qin Tian smiled lightly, and said: "You guys want to talk about the mosquito coils. It's easy to talk about. I don't know if you want to order mosquito coils from me to sell, or have other ideas?"

Several businessmen glanced at each other and ordered mosquito coils, which naturally made a lot of money, but it was obviously not enough to satisfy their appetites.

"Mr. Qin, if you are willing to sell the secret recipe, I am willing to buy it."

"Young Master Qin, I'm also willing to buy the secret recipe."

"I would also like to..."

These merchants were able to see the beauty of Ye Lai Xiang Mosquito Coil in such a short period of time. Obviously, they are not ordinary people. If they can buy the secret recipe, they will definitely be willing to buy the secret recipe.

Only in this way can they control the price of mosquito coils they sell and how much they produce. Otherwise, ordering from Qin Tian will be more or less controlled by others.

"Several of you are willing to buy the secret recipe. I don't think it's a big deal. It's good for everyone to make money together. However, I plan to sell this secret recipe for a thousand coins. I don't know who can eat it?"

Hearing that Qin Tian asked for a thousand guan, these people couldn't help but twitch, thinking that Qin Tian really dared to ask for it.

This mosquito-repellent incense costs a penny each, and a thousand sticks is worth ten pennies. Even if they sell ten thousand sticks a day, it is only ten cents. If they sell one thousand pennies, they will have to sell them for one hundred days to earn back.

But when they earn the money back, the summer will be over, that is to say, they have been busy all summer and haven't earned anything yet.

This is only in an ideal situation, but there are many problems in doing business. You can sell [-] sticks today, but after a few days in a row, can you still sell [-] sticks?
If a family buys ten sticks, they can use them for ten days. Surely they will buy them after ten days, right?

If you calculate it like this, it is impossible for them to pay back the whole summer. Of course, if they sell it in other places, it is not impossible to sell [-] sticks a day, but at the same time it increases the cost of the journey, so a thousand sticks, obviously It's not worth it.

Several businessmen secretly smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Qin, one thousand guan is a bit unacceptable for us. Is there a compromise?" Bai Qi looked at Qin Tian and asked. Qin Tian had expected that they would not be able to eat it. After all, mosquito coils were just a small business. Asking them to buy such a secret recipe for a thousand dollars is really choking.

And this secret recipe may be known to everyone at some point, so wouldn't it be even worse for them to spend money on such a secret recipe?
"There is also a way to compromise. This secret recipe is only sold for [-] yuan. If you are willing to buy it together, I will also sell it. After you get the secret recipe, you can go to different places to produce and sell it. If you want to come to a summer, you can also earn money. The money is several times higher. Of course, don’t think about meddling in the business near Chang’an City. I also have professional ethics. If I sell it to you, I won’t sell it to others. You don’t have to worry that I will continue to sell secret recipes. how?"

Several people work together to buy the secret recipe, and they can get two hundred coins each, but if this is the case, several people have the secret recipe, there will definitely be some competition, and they will lose their absolute control over the market.

But after a few businessmen thought about it for a while, they agreed.

Although several people know the secret recipe, it is not good for them to monopolize the market, but as a new product, the market for mosquito coils is definitely huge, and five or six of them may not be able to swallow it. It doesn't matter.

After several merchants agreed, Qin Tian signed a contract with them on the spot, and then handed over the money with one hand and the secret recipe with the other. After these merchants got the secret recipe, they were all happy, and they didn't stay in Qinjia Village too much. Go to different places.

They are all businessmen with many years of experience in doing business. Now that the market is so big, it is obviously more beneficial for them to make money by opening one alone. If several people go to one place, it will obviously harm their own interests.

The few merchants left, Qin Tian looked at the thousand coins, and showed a slight smile, but Uncle Fu next to him was not happy this time, he used to be very happy when he saw a few coins, but this time he was not. This surprised Qin Tian.

"Fu Bo, are you dumbfounded when you see so much money?" He felt that Fu Bo must be so happy that he was dumbfounded by selling so much money for a secret recipe, so that he couldn't even show his happiness.

But Fu Bo shook his head: "Master, if this secret recipe is in our hands, we can earn so much money in one summer, and we can make it again next year, so that we can continue. But you sold the secret recipe, and the others I see, we will continue to do this business in the future, I am afraid it will not be easy, right?"

Qin Tian was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Fu Bo, who has always been stupid and cute, to say such a thing. Although these words were not very reasonable, at least it showed that he had begun to think about something.

"Fu Bo, the secret recipe of mosquito coils is actually not reliable. Then Qin Ba and his son made fakes. Although they don't know that there is a lack of sulfur, as long as they study slowly, they may know it next year. In that case, Can we continue to do the mosquito coil business next year? Even if we can, will it be as smooth as this year?"

Uncle Fu was stunned. If more people knew the secret recipe next year, they would definitely not be able to go as smoothly as this year, selling out [-] sticks in one morning.

"Master..."

"The secret recipe of mosquito coils cannot be protected for long, and the business is too slow to generate money. It is a good thing for us to be able to exchange so much money at once, because I want to use this money to start a bigger business and use money to make a living. Money is the way of business."

[-] mosquito coils cost only ten pennies, which is really too slow, so Qin Tian planned to manufacture toilet water while doing this business.

In the past, he had no money and couldn't afford many raw materials, but now that he has money, the raw materials for making toilet water are no longer a problem. Toilet water can make more money than mosquito coils.

"Master, it's the old slave who didn't think carefully."

Qin Tian waved his hand: "Take this hundred guan and go buy some good gifts and come back. Tomorrow, I will return home with my wife."
