Chapter 197-199 (1/2)
Chapter 197 – The Battle Between Abagon and Sherlock
”Yes, My Lord There has been an overwhel response to the Flower Soap Many nobles have offered to buy it”
Sherlock travelled often between Flower Town and North Valley City As aa thorn sprite, he beca community
He immediately reported to Liszt the feedback about the Flower Soap
AllSherlock knew that the young Lord ht not be keen on power and common affairs But he likes to have all the inforet and doesn't like anyone to blind his eyes Therefore, he always looks for opportunities to gather information that he could to report to Liszt
“It seeood start and we have to keep it going I look forward to seeing a Flower Soap-dominated Coral Island soap market”
“As you wish, ive all his strength for the Lord's wish!+ “
Liszt looked at Sherlock, who he suspected was just full of flattery, but since he was in a good mood, Liszt just said, “Don't let me down, Mr Sherlock”
Sherlock left the castle feeling ambitious
He knew that he was about to obtain a status no less than Abagon's in the Lord's heart and with the help of Flower Soap, he may even be on the same level as the Old Grandet
“I need people to spread the news forthe news of Flower Soap across the six cities on Coral Island and every small town below … First , I must let the caravan merchants who sell the soap understand that there some soaps are cheaper than the Flower Soap but the quality couldn't get close to ours For every Flower Soap sold, they iven away in large quantities for free Sherlock was anxious to spread the news through word of mouth to unify the market so later on, he could decide to lower the price of shi+p the seller make more money for them to come quickly
“What? Flower Soap is better than the usual soap?Just a silver coin plus 50 copper plates? “A foot merchant burst out in surprise
“Yes, if you buy soap from Baron Henderson, you would need a silver coin plus 80 copper coins With that, you'll only get 20 plates for the transfer But selling the Flower Soap means a return of 50 coppers, and that's the equivalent of selling two and a half of the other soap You can do the Math yourself”
”Is this soap really good?”
“You can rest assured! The nobles of North Valley City have already used it and every one of the it In addition, I also have a used Flower Soap myself, here, I can let you try it once”
Of course, the foot merchants wouldn't believe the words Sherlock blurted out froht out some water and tried the soap themselves
The sheer number of bubbles, the slippery texture, the clean effect and the skin-tight experience after use have taught those merchants that the Flower Soap really does outshi+ne any ordinary soap
It will for sure replace all the other soaps in thecoupon in the mix, ”If you plan to order, better do it quick now! The soap factory in Flower Town has a liet some Flower Soap in their hands, we most probably will have to raise its price as well “
The threat of a price increase defeated the final hesitation of the dealers
He nodded his teeth and said, “So, Captain Sherlock, I want to order five … no, I want to order ten Flower Soaps!”
Striking a finger, Sherlock recorded the foot merchant's order on a thick leather paper as he said, “A wise decision” A deposit was then collected from the foot merchant and his order will be for delivery in three days
Sherlock quickly got up and left
His hands tightly held onto a thick paper which contained seven orders belonging to the seven traders in The North Valley City, whothe s the seven foot merchants, a total of 58 Flower Soaps were ordered
There were also many nobles, ent above and beyond to that of foot dealers and ordered Flower Soaps directly frohtFlower Soaps from Sherlock
Sherlock's s at the numbers of people who used the soap, North Valley City will procure 300 pieces of soap a month, about the same as Snake Spear City, Gravel City, Jade Forest City and Birch City, adding up to 1,500 soaps all in all Coral City, which has the highest nu, and rich free people, they could use at least 2,000 soaps a month”
It was sure that Flower Soap would dominate the soap market
Coral Island consumes 3,500 soaps a month, plus Beer island can also consu in Flower Town's own use, a month's shi+pment should be close to 4,000 pieces
“Four thousand Flower Soaps!” Sherlock thought of such a picture but he could not hold it in and could only grin, “A Flower Soap costs a silver coin plus fifty coppers, this is ure it out
Using his fingers to calculate, he finally got a number, aa single Flower Soap is only forty coppers, which means that one could make 4,400 silver coins a month
Without the unified market of Flower Soap, the price would increase to the price of one silver coin plus eighty copper plates, which was the original wholesale price of the soap
But if they would continue to crush down Baron Henderson's and the price of soap poould go down, they would potentially reduce the unit price later on
He roughly estimated that the unit price could be compressed further to thirty copper plates
The net profit of a Flower Soap is one silver coin plus fifty copper plates, and the total profit for one old coins a day
”A net profit of two gold coins a day is slightly lower to that of the seafood business' at its peak But this business has a lower operating cost, and… it is under me! The Thorns and Flower Caravan don't have a choice but to cooperate with on from Coral City and discussed with him how to unify the Coral Island on was prepared as well
The fellow from Little Papa Island, squinted at him, “Sherlock, your vision is too narrow It is not a skill to unify the coral island e of Flower Soap, you don't even need to do much to elihts on the outer islands and the regular everyday people! “
“Outer islands? Ordinary people?” Sherlock froze
“Flower Soap can be made into a special product of Coral Island It can be exported to the outer islands through the channels of Tulip Fort and Beer Fort At the same time, I asked Burnell and he said that Flowers Soap is made of a variety of materials However, if we reduce the materials used to produce the soap, it'll also produce poor results Because of this, some ordinary soaps can be supplied to civilians at a lower cost “
Abagon save Sherlock a proud look, “I have already reported this to Sir Baron and he supports my ideas and plans!”
Sherlock took a hit!
It made him very confused
Chapter 198 – Forcible Cultivation of Corn Grass
“Abagon is a lot bolder,than Sherlock With Captain Kosto incharge of sailing, I plan to let Abagon preside over the cross-sea trade”
It was night time in the castle study
Liszt and butler Carter each held one glass of red wine, slowly tasting it and were preoccupied talking about the past, the present and the future
Carter's hair is a lot whiter now, but his spirit is much better than when he first arrived in Flower Town,“Master, will you take a big step in cross-sea trading now?”
“For noill rely on the foreign trade channels of Tulip and Beer Castle I' to Flower Town” Liszt smiled, “Flower Town is only temporary, in the near future, I will have my own city or island”
He took a sip of the red wine and said, “I can't always be sheltered under the wings of hton, they will always have so to say”
“It turns out that your eyes have seen htedness”
“It's one thing to look far ahead, and another to be focused on the now I need you to remind me from time to time about that, Mr Carter”
The two,each other and the atmosphere was harmonious
After a while, the topic was about the Flower Soap
Carter said,“I was very surprised to hear your conversation with Mr Abagon I did not expect Flower Soap to becoe market”
“Popularity is expected”
Liszt said calmly
In truth, there was noteffect was rass ash added some chemical to the Flower Soap andeffect Those characteristics were enough to wipe out the old soap in thewith ordinary soaps, when he touches the Flower Soap, would feel the big contrast between the two They would be cleaner, but what's low effect
For the nobles, this was enough for them to discard the old soap and switch to Flower Soap
As for the other benefits of Flower Soap, it seems can also provoke a husband's sexual interest It can be estimated that many people have not understood it yet, but Lady Gelt surely has her own experience
Naturally
With the Flower Caravan deliberately spreading the news, the Flower Soap's reputation began to spread from North Valley City to the entire Coral Island Coral City, in particular, has always had a vain population
The Flower Soap did not coive every nobleon did not take Sherlock's wide-netting idea, but instead preferred specific delivery
——
“Miss shi+rley, I come on behalf of ift, two Flower Soaps o with your stunning beauty and noble temperament “
“Ahhh! It's froift and saw a thick sheet of paper attached to it
Written on the thick paper was some snake-text written by Liszt himself
“Dear Little shi+rley, I have a lot of business to attend to here in Flower Town hence I cannot coive you two of my specialty Flower Soap May you always be radiant and beautifulYours, Brother Liszt”
——–
”Dear Madaon? The head of the Flower Caravan? Did Liszt send you?” Madaon in
“Master Baron Liszt misses you so much He has sent me to deliver to you two specialty Flower Soaps froon said respectfully “The Baron has said that if you like, you can send a h the caravan, and the Flower Soap will be available to you for free”
“Special flower soap? Is it a kind of soap?” Madairl like shi+rley With the etting more and more clever, no wonder she looks like Melissa, this sharp-witted one is truly worthy of being the grandson of the Marquis Merlin “
Abagon smiled and refused to answer He would not dare to appraise a noble
Finally, Madaifts If they're really good, I'll say nice things about it With my old face at least I know a lot of people”
”Thank you, Madam I will now take my leave”
