Chapter 107 Distribution (First Update)
"Yuzu, next time we go to the main plane, we have to drive quickly to our next destination. Today I noticed that the eyes of several groups of people were not right." Fang Yu moved 68,700 gold Dukes from the Dongfeng Tianlong to the trunk of the G500, then got back on the truck and drove to Chunriyou's factory.
Professor Yorz dodged twice and said, "Master, the warning spell you asked me to set up has been triggered twice today. The people who came were ordinary people."
After going to Luwak so many times, Fang Yu used the spell of charm humans to understand a lot about the situation in this world.
There are quite a few extraordinary people in this world, but their abilities seem difficult to describe.
Level 3 priests like Abbot Jacob are already the backbone of the extraordinary people in this world.
Of course, there are also higher levels. For example, when a priest reaches level 5, he can be promoted to parish priest. At level 7, he will be called a bishop. At level 9, he will be promoted to cardinal.
In other words, the strong people in this world can only cast spells of level 5 and below.
And these spells are not their own.
As for the popes of various temples, it is rumored that they are humans who can ask God for power at any time and are called God's agents on earth. How powerful they are is not something that the merchants in the castle town that Fang Yu has been able to contact in the past few days can know.
Although these extraordinary beings are not as powerful as those in the Age of Great Arcana, it is precisely because of their existence that this world does not seem as chaotic as imagined.
The public security is also better than Fang Yu imagined.
After charming five or six different humans and understanding almost everything he needed to know, Fang Yu started to set up a stall and do business.
But money is attractive to people, and Fang Yu's arms business is very profitable, so it is inevitable that some people will be tempted.
When Fang Yu switched for the fourth time, a few local thugs came to cause trouble under the instructions of someone unknown. Fang Yu tied them up with a simple "thorn bondage" and hung them on a big tree next to the van for people to see.
Even so, as Jinduke made more and more money, and although only two days had passed in Luwak after six switches, Fang Yu already felt that he had to run away quickly.
Otherwise, the Knights of Montville might have gone out to rob.
So, after the seventh switch, Fang Yu immediately chose to drive away without even leaving the tent behind.
After running nearly 300 kilometers north, Fang Yu stopped when he was about to reach his next destination, Cober, and waited for the switch to end.
In the end, Fang Yu returned to Blue Star with more than 60,000 gold dukes and more than two tons of white truffles.
Although truffles are now also produced in Dianzhou, white truffles are the most valuable product of the same volume that Fang Yu has been able to find on Blue Star in the more than three days he has been in this world.
Especially white truffles. There are very few high-quality domestic white truffles now. Once they mature, they turn black inside and are difficult to sell at a high price.
When Fang Yu cut the white truffle here, the inside still had white patterns, which was almost exactly the same as the Alba white truffle or the Istrian white truffle from Croatia that he had eaten before, and the taste might be even stronger.
Most importantly, the truffles are huge.
The price of white truffles is closely related to their quality and size. High-quality white truffles weighing more than 500 grams will basically be auctioned. Eight years ago, the gambling king's family spent 330,000 Malaysian dollars to bid for a 1.5-kilogram white truffle.
In recent years, due to the impact of Yunnan truffles, the prices of Frangi black truffles and Apennine white truffles have declined, but high-quality large white truffles are still hard to come by.
Of course, this does not mean that the white truffles Fang Yu brought back can be sold at this price.
High-priced rare ingredients are essentially luxury goods, and the price of luxury goods does not entirely depend on their actual quality.
The quality of Alba white truffles and Istrian white truffles is almost the same, but because of their different origins, their prices may differ by 30%.
After Fang Yu quickly froze this batch of white truffles, he still needed some methods to sell them at a good price.
White truffles are not actually meant to be eaten, but to be smelled and used to enhance the flavor of food.
Some people think that white truffles taste a bit like tadpoles.
No wonder many women like to eat it.
Fang Yu didn't like eating these stinky-smelling mushrooms, but he liked money.
There are many families raising pigs in Mercfori, and each family digs dozens of kilograms of truffles every day to feed their pigs. When they heard that someone could exchange copper dan for these smelly potatoes that only pigs eat, they rushed to tell each other and surrounded Fang Yu's camp.
Fang Yu brought back a total of two tons of white truffles this time, all of which were large pieces of white truffles weighing more than 200 grams, and more than half of them weighed more than 500 grams each.
Moreover, there are even more than a dozen white truffles weighing more than one kilogram, and the largest one weighs 2.2 kilograms.
However, in the short term, these truffles are basically a one-time deal.
The truffle season in Luwak has come to an end this year, and if you want to dig again, you will have to wait at least ten months.
Truffles are difficult to preserve. If they are refrigerated, they can only be kept for about a week, so they can only be frozen.
After Fang Yu cleaned these truffles using arcane techniques, he sent all the truffles except for the dozen or so that weighed more than one kilogram to Chunriyou's packaging factory, where they were quickly frozen using a liquid nitrogen machine to lock in their freshness.
As for the dozen or so large white truffles, Fang Yu used a first-level spell from the School of Transmutation, "Immortal Flavor", to preserve them.
The enchanted food or ingredients will be wrapped in a layer of weak magical energy. This energy can prevent the food from rotting, spoiling, drying out, or being attacked by common pathogens and insects. This spell can work on up to 50 kilograms of food.
Food affected by this spell retains its flavor, texture, and nutritional value as if it were freshly prepared or harvested. Additionally, this spell halts the natural aging process of food, but it cannot restore food that has already spoiled or deteriorated.
Before Fang Yu drove the truck to the factory, he called Wang Xiaoya and the two made an appointment to meet at the factory.
Unlike Fang Yu, Wang Xiaoya likes truffles very much. She wants to try them as soon as she sees them, so she makes instant pasta in the canteen that has just been built in the factory.
"This white truffle is of really good quality. Where did you get so many?" Wang Xiaoya used a shaving machine to shave off a few slices of white truffle and dropped them onto the still steaming pasta, then sniffed it with her nose turned up.
"This batch of truffles is from Dianzhou. They are all relatively large. I think, since we are aiming to be a top luxury brand, it is just right to sell them together with Wangshu Tears." Fang Yu also picked one up with a fork and tasted it, but still couldn't accept the taste.
"You want to match goods?" After all, she is a distinguished Hermès member, so Wang Xiaoya reacted immediately.
"That's right." Fang Yu snapped his fingers. "Since Hermès and Rolex can do it, there's no reason why we can't do it with a powerful weapon like Wangshu Tears."
With the development of the economy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, luxury goods have become very popular in recent years. Even the aunties in the street shops may have one or two LV bags.
The popularity of luxury goods has led to the inevitable hidden matching of some of the items that continue to be popular.
For example, the matching ratio of Rolex's green submariner can sometimes even reach 1:4. The most disgusting thing is that the clerk will also force you to buy Tudor.
As for the Rainbow Di, which will be released in a few years and sell for 800,000 yuan, haha, it needs to be matched with at least 3 million yuan worth of goods, otherwise you can go to the secondary market and buy a high-priced one for 1.8 million yuan. (Note 1)
Needless to say, Hermès is even more notorious for its product matching. It has to match the three most popular bags: Birkin, Kelly and Constance.
The 1:1 or 1.5:1 matching rate may seem more conscientious than Rolex, but the goods are things you don’t want to buy at all!
It's not as good as a Rolex. At least if you buy two women's date watches, you can pick up girls and give them as gifts.
Pony accessories worth more than 3,000 yuan are very popular, but you have to be able to get them.
As a result, I could only match it with a bunch of gloves, scarves, necklaces and other things.
"At the current price point of Wangshu Tears, the domestic market for those who can afford it is only worth 1 billion yuan, and the maximum amount we can capture is 700 million yuan. Even if we include the overseas markets we will develop in the future, Wangshu Tears alone can only support a maximum revenue of 5 billion Dazhou coins, and we may not even reach that level."
"As long as the revenue doesn't exceed 10 billion Great Zhou coins, it's within my acceptable range. So, we can definitely develop a few complementary products and take advantage of the scarcity of Wangshu Tears to sell them as a combination."
Fang Yu was washing his hands while expressing his thoughts.
"Truffles and skincare products don't go together, do they?" Wang Xiaoya hesitated. "If we're going to pair them together, wouldn't it be better to choose some other cosmetics or bags or jewelry?"
Fang Yu chuckled: "You're right, but that's for the next step. We're just a new brand now, without any brand heritage, and our prices are solely driven by functionality."
"In this case, although Wangshu Tears has the attributes of a luxury product, it has not yet achieved the brand anchoring of a luxury product."
“The reason why we chose to use truffles in the first place, and the most expensive white truffles, is because truffles are essentially a luxury product.”
"Using truffles to complement products can help the Wangshu Lei brand better anchor itself in the high-end luxury market."
"Also, this batch of truffles is indeed of very good quality. I'm leaving these for a dozen yuan per kilogram. You can entrust an auction company to hold an auction to heat up the market and prepare for the subsequent distribution."
Wang Xiaoya thought about it carefully and felt that it was quite feasible.
In this way, not only can the brand anchor of Wangshu Tears be strengthened, but this batch of truffles can also be sold at a good price.
Otherwise, under the impact of Dianzhou truffles, these more than two tons of truffles may not be sold out even in a year, let alone at a good price.
Even if it is sold at 3,000 per kilogram, these two tons will only be worth six million.
The sales volume of Wangshu Lei is not as high as that of half a month.
But if it were an auction, the situation would be different. A few Alba white truffles could be compared to these white truffles on the spot and bidders could try them. Then, with a few shills, a single truffle weighing over a kilogram could be sold for 500,000 yuan. This would create buzz and establish a price anchor.
The premise is that the quality of this batch of white truffles is indeed better than that of Alba.
With the matching of goods, 6 million can easily turn into 30 million.
As for what else to add to the purchase after buying this batch of truffles, Fang Yu has not yet figured it out.
This batch of truffles will be enough for at least three months. By then, my Wangshu Tears will have been exported overseas. Even if I still can't find items worth purchasing and distributing in Loire, I can acquire one or two high-quality handmade studios and learn from Hermès to shamelessly sell accessories. These foreigners will have to pay for it anyway.
Learn from the strengths of the barbarians in order to control them. Although our Great Zhou has its own national conditions, we are not slow at all in learning how to make money.
"Baby, some people say that truffles taste like tadpoles. Have you heard of it?" Fang Yu's eyes rolled around on Wang Xiaoya.
"Bah! It doesn't look like that at all!" Wang Xiaoya vomited.
Fang Yu held Wang Xiaoya's head with both hands and pulled it back: "I don't believe it, try it again."
Note: The time in the Rainbow Di book has not yet been released.
