Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 29 Thirty-seven accounts
  "Five to ten gold..." Gu Xun muttered the price set by Zi Nu several times, and then asked: "With such a price, how will the sales volume of the medicine be?"

Zi Nu held out two onion-like fingers with a confident look on her face, "We sell at least twenty pieces every day."

"Twenty pieces?" Gu Xun pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied, "You can only sell these in one day? Are there so few rich people in Xinzheng?"

Zi Nu choked him up with this question, why are there so few rich people in Xinzheng?
  Xinzheng is the royal capital of South Korea, and the wealth of the entire South Korea is concentrated here. How can there be so few rich people here?
  What, you said compared with the other kings of the six kingdoms, then...it's okay.

The Seven Kingdoms are the weakest, and the shame of the Warring States Period is our country, South Korea. Whether it is economy, military, territory or population, our country is the worst. If we must find a strength, craftsmanship is the top among the Seven Kingdoms. It is a pity that It is already a thing of the past, and now the country with the best equipment is Qin.

Oh, one more thing, South Korea has produced many talented people, but they have all gone on to shine for other countries. South Korea... has not left any of them.

So this is the situation. Gu Xun's unintentional sarcasm can indeed be said to be the truth.

Zi Nu was not Korean, and she was not interested in arguing with Gu Xun to rectify Korea's name, so she changed the topic and pretended not to hear Gu Xun's question, and explained seriously:
  "Except for some old-fashioned and serious scholars, almost all dignitaries from Xinzheng come to our Zilanxuan to have fun. Therefore, the number of regular customers of Zilanxuan is basically equal to the number of wealthy people in Xinzheng."

"So there are only about twenty regular customers in Zilanxuan?" Gu Xun interrupted with a look of disbelief.

Zi Nu rolled her eyes at Gu Xun, suppressed the unhappiness in her heart at being suddenly interrupted, and continued to reply:
  "The number of regular customers of Zilanxuan is around a hundred, but not all of them can afford the price of a few gold pills."

"If the price of the medicine is reduced to one gold per pill, basically all Zilanxuan customers will buy it. Hundreds of pills can be sold in a day, but the corresponding income will be less, not more, and this pricing plan If so, Mr. Gu, you must make at least one potion of medicine a day."

"If pricing drops further, the number of people who can afford it will increase further, but incomes will only continue to fall."

"So overall, the price for hardware and above is the most appropriate. Besides, twenty is just the minimum quantity I estimated. The actual situation may be more than thirty."

"Of course, the exact price still depends on the actual sales situation. Maybe the price can be further raised to expand profits."

Gu Xun was dumbfounded as he watched Zi Nu talk and analyzed his pricing strategy in detail.

Were the ancients so good at doing business?

It is indeed an imaginary historical world, with history as its bones and art as its wings. Unfortunately, due to osteoporosis, its wingspan is exceptionally long.

After all, you have underestimated everyone in the world!
  Fortunately, Gu Xun didn't try to show off the shallow modern business knowledge he had in his memory, otherwise he might have been slapped in the face in the opposite direction.

Gu Xun's surprise was noticed by Zi Nu, but she didn't feel anything special, let alone feel proud of it. Her calming skills were much better than Gu Xun's, so she just raised the tea cup in front of her very indifferently. , took a sip and moistened his mouth.

"Now, Mr. Gu, do you have any questions?"

Gu Xun followed the voice and saw Zi Nu's pale pink lips that became more and more dazzling under the moistening of tea. Then he suddenly came back to his senses and responded sarcastically:

"No problem, no problem."

"We can discuss specific cooperation plans."

"Right now, I have two cooperation methods available to Zi Nu, one is cooperation sharing, and the other is unit price buyout."

These two words are not difficult to understand. Zinu can make a rough guess based on the literal meaning, but she still has to ask about the specific details. However, Zinu did not follow the common people's habit of asking the first one first, but asked first and then the other. A sort of:
  "If the unit price is bought out, what is the unit price?"

"Hardware." Gu Xun opened his hand, showing five fingers, "This is determined based on the reference price you gave me, Miss Zinu." I should have given a reference price of one gold if I had known earlier! Zi Nu cursed in her heart.

She didn't expect that Gu Xun asked for the price because of this, and she made a mistake.

If this medicine could be purchased with one gold, Zi Nu would be able to earn at least five times the profit once it is resold.

This level of profit is enough to risk hanging.

It's a pity that it has already flown away. Zi Nu sighed in her heart, forget it, let's continue with the topic.

"What is the method of sharing the cooperation?"

"It's very simple. I will be responsible for distributing the medicine, and Miss Zinu, you will be responsible for selling the medicine. If you earn any money, we will split the account 30-70."

Zi Nu frowned and said subconsciously: "Why is it only 70%?"

"Seventy percent is mine, and you, a second-rate medicine dealer, dare to ask for 70%!" Gu Xun looked like he was thinking about Taozi and wanted to be beaten.

Money fascinates people. At this moment, Gu Xun can no longer take care of the anime goddess in his heart. He only wants to make money.

The reason why Zi Nu blurted out those words was partly because she was still sad about the business that had lost several times the profit, and partly because of her habit of negotiating. No matter how much profit she had, she would try to get more benefits. The first half of Gu Xun's response didn't seem to matter to her. They were talking about business, asking for high prices, and would they pay back when they got there?

But the second half of his answer and his irritated expression were very irritating.

Zi Nu took a deep breath and secretly warned herself not to hit this person. Then she managed to keep her expression bright and her tone soft as she asked:

"Why am I just a second-rate dealer?"

"Uh..." Seeing that the other party's expression was not right, Gu Xun wisely did not push back directly, but considered the words. Perhaps it was a little time buffer that allowed him to realize that speaking requires some thinking and cannot be ignored. If you offend someone, you will die.

"Well, calling it a second-rate dealer may be an exaggeration, but Miss Zinu, you and Zilanxuan are just providing sales channels. 30%, I think it's quite a lot."

G Fat only takes about 30% of the steam channel, so Gu Xun feels that the conditions he has given should be pretty good.

Hearing Gu Xun's answer, Zi Nu shook her head helplessly, "Mr. Gu, Zilanxuan's channels are not that cheap. If I share 30%, not to say it's a discount, at least it can be regarded as a full payment for you. It’s all in vain.”

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Gu Xun was doubtful.

Zi Nu replied angrily:

"It's not an exaggeration at all. This is because the raw materials required for your medicine are very cheap. Compared with the starting price, the cost can be considered as nothing. Otherwise, I would really be losing money."

Seeing Gu Xun still looked suspicious, Zi Nu could only explain clearly.

"Sir, you should understand that in this world, simply being rich is of no use. Businessmen will ultimately look at the face of those in power. Therefore, if businessmen want to grow their business, they must rely on those in power. In Xinzheng, a city in South Korea, This is even more true in the royal capital, a place where princes, princes and nobles gather, and Zilanxuan can only live in the same dust as the light, but cannot live alone."
