Chapter 374 Karen's Sales Method
Just when Adele was thinking about when to go to Winter City, a caravan also entered the imperial capital at this time.
The four of Karen brought ten guards arranged by Li Fan and the luxury of ten carriages, relying on Nahum's Prince's banner, they entered the imperial capital smoothly.
Prince Nahum's flag was indeed useful, and Karen and the others only encountered a few ignorant thieves along the way. Other than that, no one dared to stop their caravan.
Even when they arrived at the imperial capital, the guards at the city gate, who had seen the flags, not only did not embarrass them, but sent them into the city with great enthusiasm.
All these made Karen couldn't help admiring Li Fan.
...
After stepping into the imperial capital, Karen couldn't help but compare the imperial capital with Li Fan's territory.
The excitement is naturally even more lively in the imperial capital. After all, the imperial capital has a population of one million, and Li Fan's territory does not even have ten thousand people.
But when it comes to which place is more beautiful and makes people have the urge to settle down, Karen will definitely choose Li Fan's territory without hesitation.
Among other things, just talking about the chaotic buildings in the imperial capital gave Karen a headache.
Although he has been to the imperial capital more than a dozen times, he still often gets lost because of the complicated roads in the imperial capital. Fortunately, there are several main avenues in the imperial capital, so that he will not be completely lost.
In addition, even on the roads of the imperial capital, you can still smell the smell of excrement.
Perhaps it was because of the large number of people living there that the imperial capital seemed extraordinarily 'smoky'.
After getting used to the cleanliness and tidiness in the valley, Karen couldn't stand the environment of the imperial capital, so she immediately covered her nose.
Although he has just arrived in the imperial capital, he already wants to finish the sale of the goods quickly and then return to Li Fan's territory.
...
This time Karen brought perfume, soap, glass, china, and fine wine.
Naturally, ordinary people cannot afford these things.
Therefore, Karen's goal is also very clear, that is, the nobles.
It is not easy for an unidentified businessman to meet nobles.
Fortunately, Karen's previous shampoo business allowed him to meet several nobles.
Karen took her goods to Earl Julian's house, which he was most familiar with.
Although Earl Julian is an earl, the earl can only be regarded as a minor noble in the imperial capital.
Coupled with the lack of real power, Earl Julian almost went bankrupt.
Fortunately, Earl Julian has a good wife and daughter. The mother and daughter are very good at socializing and have made friends with many noble ladies.
Later, Earl Julian thought of a way to make money, which was to be a second-hand dealer.
He often bought luxury goods from merchants who had no access to nobles at low prices, and then sold them to noble wives by his wife and daughter.
In this way, Count Julian made a lot of money.
...
What Karen is looking for today is Count Julian.
Of course, Karen is not stupid, he knows that Count Julian will severely lower the price, but it doesn't matter, he just wants to spread a small amount of perfume and other things to the hands of the nobles through Count Julian.
After that, he will stop supplying Count Julian.
Karen believed that after using these luxuries, once the nobles could not buy anything from Count Julian, they would naturally come to him.
As for whether Earl Julian will be angry because of this, Karen is not worried now, after all, the prince's flag is still hanging on his caravan.
In this way, Karen successfully provided Earl Julian with 30 bottles of perfume, 30 bars of soap, 30 sets of porcelain tableware, 30 bottles of fine wine, and 30 completely transparent goblets at a low price.
After that, Karen left.
The triumphant Count Julian was left behind.
In the next few days, Earl Julian really sold most of his things through his wife and daughter, earning more than 300 gold coins directly.
Therefore, high-end luxury goods such as perfume not only entered the eyes of the nobles, but also became a means of comparison among the nobles, which caused a shock in the noble circle of the imperial capital.
...
Three days later, Adele, the star of the empire, suddenly came to Count Julian's house.
Since she was going to 'visit' Lily in Winter City, she should bring some gifts for Lily.
Lily also said in the letter, let her bring some interesting things.
Therefore, after Adele heard that Count Julian's house had produced some interesting things, she went to visit in person.
It was Count Julian's daughter Catherine who sold Adele.
Catherine said to Adele: "His Royal Highness Adele, look, this perfume is not only infinitely more effective than shampoo, but also very interesting to use. You just need to spray the perfume into the air lightly, and then people Spin around the bottom, you can fill the whole body with a charming fragrance, this fragrance can even last for several days, and then this soap, it is used in the shower, not only can effectively clean your body The body can still..."
Listening to Catherine's introduction, Adele couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. These things are not only useful, but also extremely interesting. No wonder they became popular among nobles.
Adele felt that Lily would like it if she gave it to Lily.
Thinking of this, Adele couldn't help asking Catherine: "Catherine, where do these products come from?"
Catherine hesitated for a moment. Under normal circumstances, she would definitely not say it. After all, this is considered a "commercial secret" of their family.
But what was in front of her was the star of the empire. Catherine didn't dare to offend Adele, so she could only say honestly: "Return to Your Highness, it was brought by a group of businessmen from near Winter City."
"Winter City again?"
Adele did not expect that in these few days, she heard several messages from Winter City one after another.
If Adele had considered going to Winter City after a while before, at this moment, she changed her mind.
She decided to go to Winter City immediately.
...
Just do it, Adele went to the palace that day, and asked her father, that is, the king, to go to Winter City.
The king didn't allow it at first, but when Adele asked many times, and even said that she might have a way to solve the food shortage problem of the human race.
The king finally let go.
But the king decided to arrange a group of guards for Adele.
This makes Adele have to wait for a while before going to Winter City.
...
As for Earl Julian, because of Adele's inquiry, he was worried that Karen's goods would be bought by others.
Earl Julian immediately decided to buy all of Karen's products at a low price, so as to keep his money.
As for whether Karen is willing or not, it doesn't matter at all. After all, how dare a businessman be an enemy of an earl.
However, when Count Julian saw the flag on the Karen caravan, Count Julian was stunned and could only leave with a dark face.
The price of offending a prince is definitely not something he, the earl, can afford.
Count Julian, only then did he know that he was the clown.
