The Knight's Journey to the Empire

"Baron Soran, we would like to know how much this 'floral soap' costs?"

"You just said in the letter that its cost is very low, but you didn't tell me the actual value!"

Sir Belgrade raised the first question at the beginning of the meeting.

In fact, after using floral soap, His Royal Highness Prince Leo II developed a strong interest in it, so he sent special personnel to study it.

But no matter how hard these people studied, they could never figure it out, and failed to discover the mystery of the real raw materials behind this floral soap!

Therefore, since they have no idea of ​​the exact composition of the raw materials needed to make this soap, they naturally have no idea how much its production cost is!

In business transactions or negotiations, if the cost details of the product are not clear, it will be difficult to give a reasonable and accurate quotation.

Of course, if one party directly asks the other party about the cost of its product at the beginning of an ordinary business negotiation, it would undoubtedly be extremely rude, impolite and abrupt.

But the business negotiations currently being conducted between the two parties are not ordinary negotiations!

The reason is that the power and influence held by His Royal Highness Prince Leo II is as omnipresent as air to Soran, and profoundly influences his every decision and action!

Sir Belgrade was also sure of Baron Soren's fate, knowing that he would never dare to lie about the cost price and thus embezzle the benefits that belonged to His Royal Highness the Second Prince!

Therefore, even though both parties have sat down face to face to discuss cooperation matters, and both have a sincere attitude.

But it is undeniable that the significant gap between the two people's identities and status is destined to make this cooperation negotiation itself an unequal state!

However, Soran did not answer him directly, but asked: "Before talking about the cost price, I want to ask Sir Belgrade!"

“If you get the production process of this ‘floral soap’ and produce it on a large scale!”

"And how much will you charge for these 'floral scented soaps' after they enter the market?"

The reason why Soran did not directly answer Sir Belgrade's question was because he had his own plans in mind.

After all, the raw materials used to make snowflake soap are relatively fixed!

It is nothing more than two basic ingredients: pig pancreas and alkaline water;

At most, you would add a little flower extract - essence, to dye or enhance the fragrance of the floral soap!

But to be honest, apart from the fragrance, the other things are really not worth much money!

Of course, fragrance is not very expensive!

At least for true aristocrats, perfume is not expensive!

However, due to the inequality of status and strength, it is difficult for Sauron to defraud more money by means of falsely reporting prices!

The reason is very simple!

Because once Sauron teaches the other party the production process of this "floral soap", then the other party will definitely purchase the raw materials for production on their own.

In this way, the actual cost of floral soap has been settled and there is almost no variable!

Of course, having said that, if some unimportant but rare magic plant elements can be added to the formula, it is expected that the cost price will be greatly increased, thereby earning more money!

But it’s a pity that...Sauron doesn’t have the courage to do this!

His strength and influence are not enough to support him to be so extravagant!

Because once this matter is exposed, considering the unequal status of both parties...

The consequences are simply unimaginable!

Anyway, no matter what, Sauron will definitely be the one who suffers the most!

By then, he probably won’t even have time to cry!

"Baron Soran, are you saying that this kind of 'floral soap' can be produced on a large scale?" Sir Belgrade asked in disbelief.

No one had ever told him this!

He only knew that this floral soap was a very precious thing!

Shouldn't precious things be more valuable the fewer there are of them?

"Yes! I think that if there is no shortage of raw materials, floral soap can indeed be produced on a large scale!"

"And its production process is not complicated at all. It only requires manpower!" Soran said with a smile.

I know what you don’t know, and that’s the advantage of information asymmetry!

"His Royal Highness Prince Leo II said that if this floral soap appeared on the market, it would definitely be a precious luxury in the short term!"

"And at the beginning, as long as the publicity is done properly, you can reap a huge fortune!"

"So the price we give is that a piece of 'floral soap' will cost at least 20 gold coins!"

Good guy!

Soran exclaimed, "Good fellow!"

Because according to the current slave market conditions, the price of a strong slave is between 30 and 50 gold coins!

That means two bars of soap are equivalent to a sturdy slave!

"Hahahaha! Sir Belgrade, if that's the case, then I can tell you frankly! The last time I made this batch of floral soaps, I made a total of ten pieces, and the cost of making them was less than ten silver coins!"

"If the cost is spread out like this, it means that the production cost of a bar of floral soap is less than one silver coin!" Soran said with a big laugh.

With a "whoosh", the five people sitting there all stood up!

Then Sir Belgrade asked in disbelief: "Baron Soran, are you telling the truth?"

"Really!" Soran nodded affirmatively.

Then Sir Belgrade and his men showed expressions of ecstasy!

The cost is less than 1 silver coin, but it can be sold at a high price of 20 gold coins.

Such an amazing profit return rate is as high as nearly one thousand percent!

Although this floral soap is destined to be used only by aristocrats, wealthy people and the wealthy "gentry".

Although the target customer base is relatively limited, the purchasing power of these people alone can bring huge wealth!

This fucking speed of making money is faster than robbery!

You know, robbery involves risking one's life!

In comparison, selling this floral soap is simply a way to make money flow into your pocket automatically!

So it’s no wonder that Sir Belgrade and others were so shocked!
