Chapter 192 The Perfume Business and Speaking Skills
"Zhang Feng, why is the king looking for you!"
On the way back, Fox Er Niang asked curiously.
Zhang Feng looked left and right, and after confirming that there was no one there, he whispered to Fox-Er Niang:
"The king wants our 'Red Leaf Steam No. 1'!"
"Ah? Then you agreed?"
Hu Er Niang was startled, if they didn't have a car, it would be hard to go back!
"He just wants it, but he hasn't said anything yet!"
Zhang Feng shook his head.
"What if the king speaks?"
"No."
"..."
After being silent for a while, the fox-eared lady said quietly:
"I knew it, you definitely won't suffer, I'm still worried about you!"
"Haha, but besides the car, there are some other things..."
Zhang Feng didn't hide anything either, he told everything about someone's plan to rebel and Zhang Feng's reward.
"Wow! Doesn't this mean that in the extreme north, you will be the king in the future?"
The fox-eared lady was a little shocked.
Although the extreme north is located in a remote location and the land is barren, it is still such a big place after all. If you can really become a land emperor, it is quite interesting to think about it.
As for how to operate such a large chassis and manage the population, Hu Erniang didn't think too much at all.
In the eyes of Hu Erniang, this is not a problem, after all, there is Zhang Feng!
"If you are the king, I will be the second king! But there is Caroline... Then I will be the third king reluctantly! Amy, it is the fourth king!"
Zhang Feng was a little speechless, he hadn't said anything about this matter yet, has Lady Hu'er made arrangements for this?
"All right, all right, Three Kings!"
Zhang Feng rubbed her head, and after the two went back, Zhang Feng told the girls about it again.
Everyone felt that if Zhang Feng obtained these fiefdoms in a legitimate way, the advantages would definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and Zhang Feng himself felt the same way, but what he said now was not counted, it still depended on the king's intentions, if he disagreed, everything It's all useless.
The recent incidents in the south have caused the king a lot of headaches. He has to think carefully about the situation of Zhang Feng's fief, and even consulted with the ministers.
The king asked Zhang Feng to go back and wait for the news, but Zhang Feng was not disappointed when he did not agree in person.
Regardless of whether this matter is successful or not, there is no loss for Zhang Feng. Anyway, he won the title of Marquis for nothing, so it is not a loss at all.
In the afternoon, Zhang Feng went shopping with a few beast ear mothers.
Niujiaoniang also came, and Shu Daqiang also came at the same time.
Red Leaf Steam No. 1 has become the topic of Buck City these two days. After all, such a huge guy has too much visual impact. nickname, called the moving castle.
Shu Daqiang was originally arranged by Zhang Feng to be stationed inside Hongye Steam No. 1, because Hongye Steam No. 1 attracted so much attention that people came to visit it all the time. In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Feng ordered Shu Daqiang to stay outside Hongye Steam No. 1 A small market was built.
Sure enough, compared to Hongye No. 1, which is visible but not easy to touch, those gadgets brought out from Hongye City are more popular.
After all, things like biscuits, even if the price has increased dozens of times here, are still of good quality and cheap, and people come and go for a while,
There is an endless stream.
However, this is just a minor disturbance after all.
After Shu Daqiang arranged the remaining things, he entered Buck City, because Zhang Feng said that he would take him to do big business!
In fact, there were still some orcs who wanted to come. Zhang Feng thought about it and stopped it temporarily. After all, they are too eye-catching. If they rush into Buck City at once, they may cause some troubles to the city defense army, and even cause some unnecessary troubles. .
When outside the city, everyone has seen or even come into contact with orcs, and after knowing that their tempers are actually quite good, they can slowly accept them.
"City Master... Oh no, Lord Marquis, are we going to open a store in Buck City?"
Shu Daqiang said excitedly.
He followed Zhang Feng in Hongye City, and he learned a lot, but Hongye City is not big after all, and many things are basically handled by Zhang Feng, and his subordinates have no room for development.
Zhang Feng did not stay for too long in the few cities he passed through before. Shu Daqiang thought that he had not brought out all his abilities. If Zhang Feng planned to do big business in Buck City, Shu Daqiang felt that he had an obligation to Also has the ability to take on this task.
"Opening a shop... There is no rush for now. After all, the shop has not been purchased yet. Let's do some research first to see what people here like. Also, call me City Lord. After all, it's been so long, so it's more friendly."ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
Shu Daqiang nodded, research or something, in Hongye City, Zhang Feng had trained them, he knew how to do it.
A few beasts and mothers don't care about business things at all, or they don't understand them. Seeing this, Zhang Feng stopped talking with Shu Daqiang. .
After strolling around the Ba Market, Zhang Feng found that Buck City was obviously several grades higher than other cities he had seen.
For example, the most obvious one is that Buck City actually sells luxury goods!
To be honest, Zhang Feng was a little surprised when he saw those perfumes.
After all, he hasn't officially started selling luxury items, at least until some of them are free from food and drink before they can be sold.
In Buck City, for example, the perfume business started to appear more than ten years ago, and it has been very hot until now.
However, it seems that due to technical reasons, there are very few people who can make perfume, and only one or two can do it. Therefore, the business of perfume is basically a monopoly business.
"Wow, this perfume smells so good!"
This is a small shop with exquisite decoration. In the middle of the room, there is a shelf with many bottles of perfume on it.
Hu Er Niang took a bottle of perfume that had been opened and sniffed it, showing a surprised look. It was bought by Zhang Feng just now.
"But it's just a little...too fragrant!"
After Hu Er Niang asked twice, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well, besides the roses, something else has been added, which is a bit pungent."
Zhang Feng nodded.
This is the most expensive perfume he can buy so far, and it costs ten gold coins a bottle!
The quantity of this bottle is very small, and it is a small bottle carved from wood. It is not exquisite, but some patterns on it are very recognizable.
When Zhang Feng saw the price, he clicked his tongue a little.
From Zhang Feng's point of view, this bottle of perfume is just a very ordinary thing, and it is estimated that it will be gone after a couple of uses. Zhang Feng even thinks that he can find a few petals and mash them to be more fragrant than this one! At least not pungent.
Just this, dare to ask for ten gold coins?
However, after learning about it, Zhang Feng discovered that there is some black technology in it.
The reason why it can be sold so expensive is not because of its fragrance, but because of its durability.
Because this bottle of perfume can keep the fragrance for a week!
a week?
When he heard this information, Zhang Feng was speechless.
It lost its taste or even changed its taste within a week. Is this something you can be proud of?
Note that this does not mean a week after opening, but a week after production.
Sometimes, for various reasons, two or three days have passed since the perfume was produced, packaged and put on the shelves. By the time customers want to buy it, the shelf life is only three or four days left.
Even so, this fragrance has always been popular, even in short supply at certain times!
Why?
Because its stamina is not good, and the others are even worse!
Except for this one, other perfumes can be stored for three or four days, which is already very powerful, and many of them only last for one or two days.
Zhang Feng said before that "just find some flower petals and mash them up" was just talking, but he suspected that these people did just that.
This is also the reason why Zhang Feng did not see perfume in other cities, because it deteriorated before it was delivered. Some people tried various methods before, but after suffering several big losses, no one dared to make perfume. The business of transporting reselling is gone.
Zhang Feng saw that Hu Er Niang couldn't put it down, so he smiled and said:
"I'll give you a better bottle later!"
"Really?"
Hu Er Niang showed a look of surprise, okay, Hu Er Niang doesn't care, as long as it is given by Zhang Feng, she likes it, of course, if it can be more fragrant, longer lasting, and less pungent, it would be great.
"In our Kingdom of Barker, is there a better perfume than 'Anna's Rose'?"
Suddenly, a suspicious voice came from behind.
Zhang Feng turned around and saw a young girl in light green clothes looking at him suspiciously.
After a little scrutiny, Zhang Feng could tell that this woman was either rich or expensive. After all, a person who could wear brightly colored clothes was a symbol of strength in itself.
"maybe."
Zhang Feng didn't want to argue with her, and it wasn't necessary.
The girl looked at Zhang Feng with suspicion on her face.
"Impossible, 'Anna's Rose' is the best perfume in the kingdom of Barker, there is absolutely nothing better than it!"
A confident voice sounded.
Inside, a woman in a purple dress came out.
She doesn't look very old, about 21 or 20 years old, tall and slender, with a delicate face, her face is plain, but Zhang Feng can see the faint confidence on her face.
This is a very confident woman, and a woman with a lot of background.
Because of her purple dress, Zhang Feng has only seen it on a few people, such as the king and queen.
Because there is no chemical synthesis in this world, dyes can only be extracted from natural substances.
To extract purple, you need to use a rare special conch. The dyers need to crack open the shell of this conch, extract the mucus that can secrete purple pigment, and then put the mucus in the sun for a period of time. This time must be grasped , otherwise it will affect the color too early or too late, and many dyers are defeated in this last step.
Someone once calculated that a purple robe needs 300,000 special conch shells!
This is without error.
Therefore, in the Kingdom of Buck, the king did not stipulate what kind of people should wear what color clothes, but only the royal family would wear purple clothes.
It's not that people dare not wear them, but they can't afford them.
Seeing the woman in purple, Zhang Feng felt that the other party was either a member of the royal family or had a great relationship with the royal family.
Regarding her words, Zhang Feng smiled, but did not answer this question, because it is unnecessary to argue about these.
Fox Er Niang was a little upset, she admitted that the perfume was not bad, but since Zhang Feng said there were better ones, then there were better ones, because Zhang Feng had never let her down.
Originally, she subconsciously wanted to refute, but thinking of Zhang Feng's previous warning, and the fact that Zhang Feng hadn't given out any perfume, she immediately glared at the purple-clothed woman angrily.
Although Zhang Feng and others did not refute, the woman in purple seemed to see the other party's disbelief, so she continued to speak:
"Each bottle of 'Anna's Rose' is made by three perfumers, after dozens of procedures, and it takes five days to make it. This is unique in the Buck Kingdom! There is no such kind The perfume dares to do this, of course, they just want to do it, but they can't do it! So I say 'Anna's Rose' is the best perfume in Buck Kingdom!"
The tone of the woman in purple was a little passionate, and her voice spread throughout the hall.
"Three perfumers. Dozens of procedures took five days..."
Hearing these nouns, Zhang Feng had a strange expression on his face, that's it? So simple?
You are too sincere!
Originally, Zhang Feng thought that ten gold coins were not too expensive, but when she said this, Zhang Feng instantly felt that it was expensive!
However, apart from Zhang Feng and his party, there are some other guests here, and they all showed surprise expressions when they heard the woman's words.
They knew that 'Anna's Rose' was a very good perfume, but they didn't expect the production behind it to be so complicated, no wonder it cost ten gold coins each!
But seeing a woman wearing purple clothes, no one dared to come forward to chat. People who wear this color clothes are probably members of the royal family, and it is better for ordinary people not to touch her.
"Would you like to buy a bottle for my wife?"
Not far from Zhang Feng, a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat muttered in a low voice, and both Zhang Feng and the woman in purple looked over subconsciously.
"Forget it, it's better to buy more venison with this money. This year's food prices are a bit high, so I need to prepare some..."
The middle-aged man finally spent a silver coin and bought a bottle of the cheapest perfume.
This cheapest perfume is estimated to last for one day, and the smell may change the next day, but the man still gritted his teeth and bought it. After all, the last time he gave his wife perfume was two months ago.
Watching the man leave, the woman in purple was a little embarrassed.
The other party bought perfume, but did not buy the most expensive one.
While that doesn't mean the fragrance is bad, it also doesn't mean it's good.
"Shu Daqiang, what do you think about the fact that this person was able to buy 'Anna's Rose' but didn't?"
Zhang Feng said to Shu Daqiang with a smile.
"Subordinates are dull..."
Shu Daqiang touched his head, not knowing what Zhang Feng meant, and the woman in purple looked at Zhang Feng with some doubts.
"Thought he didn't think it was worth it."
"what?"
"not worth?!"
The face of the woman in purple suddenly turned ugly.
Zhang Feng didn't care about the woman's face, he asked:
"May I ask, how many perfumers do you have in total?"
Obviously, this woman is the boss here.
"...one hundred and twenty people."
The woman didn't know why the other person asked that question, but it wasn't something confidential, she answered.
As soon as she finished speaking, another guest came in.
This is a couple, followed by a few servants. The clothes are not the same as those in Buck City, and they should come from other cities.
Zhang Feng cleared his throat, and then said:
"Each bottle of our 'Anna's Rose' is made by a total of 120 perfume masters, after 400 procedures, and more than a month of non-stop work, and the price is only ten gold coins..." The first release www .(x81zw) m./x81zw/
Before Zhang Feng finished speaking, the husband of the couple was shocked.
"My God, I've heard that Wangdu's perfume is unique, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful! The people who make a bottle of perfume are almost the same as our servants! I want to buy a bottle, no, buy a few dozen Take the bottle back and show them what Wangdu's perfume looks like, a bottle is only ten gold coins!"
Let's talk, the other party directly put a bag of coins in front of Zhang Feng.
Shu Daqiang and the women in green and purple were stunned.
