But in fact, the current salt pricing in Ming Dynasty itself is artificially high.
Only by maintaining the level of fifty cents per dou can we ensure that ordinary people can afford salt. This is a reasonable price!
It is a pity that the salt produced by the imperial court was not only of poor quality, but also seriously insufficient in output. As a result, people in many areas could not buy enough salt even if they had money!
To change this situation, on the one hand, we need to improve the quality of salt, and on the other hand, we need to increase the production of salt!
And these two points are precisely what Zhu Kai is good at!
And in terms of cost, the cost of a bucket of salt here in Zhu Lai is only a few cents.
Even if it is shipped at a price of fifteen cents per dou, Zhu Kai can ensure that the profit per dou of salt is more than ten cents!
Giving these merchants who initially started doing business with him a preferential price of fifteen cents per dou would also allow them to ensure that their net profit per dou of salt would be around twenty cents, which is already a very good profit level!
Taking into account transportation, labor and other costs, it should not be a big problem for these merchants to control the cost to about 30 yuan.
If the quantity is large, the cost can be further reduced!
"The price of such high-quality refined salt is only fifty cents. Is it a bit cheap?"
"The official salt sold by the imperial court still costs a hundred cents per dou!"
One of the merchants looked hesitant and asked tentatively.
"These are the rules set by this king, all you need to do is follow them"
"If anyone feels that the price is inappropriate, they can leave."
Zhu Kai's words are firm and unquestionable.
He intends to make huge profits in the short term, just like clearing out and selling off, and quickly accumulate wealth before the court can react. While ensuring his own profits, Zhu Kai also needs to strictly prevent these merchants from disrupting the market. Destroy his layout.
The level of market prices must be completely controlled by Prince Su's Mansion!
The reason why Zhu Kai set the price of salt at fifty cents per dou was not only to obtain profits, but also to make salt affordable for the people. , eat better quality refined salt.
Of course, for foreign traders, even if the price is as high as one hundred or even two hundred cents per bucket, Zhu Kai will not interfere.
Relying on the sales of refined salt, Zhu Kai can not only earn a lot of money , and more importantly, to accumulate reputation among the people.
When the people taste the delicious taste of this refined salt, they will naturally be grateful for Zhu Kai's gift.
After all, the people's aspirations are more precious than money!
Hearing Zhu Kai's decisive words, All the merchants looked at each other and agreed in unison.
Even if the price is only fifty cents, they can still make huge profits from it, so why not?
It would be really stupid to miss such a good thing!
"Since you all have no objections, let’s sign the agreement!"
"We will act according to the agreement in the future!"
"I will treat you fairly, but please don't try to be clever behind your back. If you are discovered by this king, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
Zhu Kai said and motioned to Geng Qing to hand over the prepared agreement to the merchants.
The merchants expressed that they did not dare to break the contract, and then signed their names and fingerprints on the agreement.
After all, the purchase price of fifteen cents per bucket was very real. It’s a rare opportunity!
Whether such low prices can be found in the future depends on Zhu Mei’s mood!
"Very good, since you have chosen to cooperate with me, I will not be stingy. Each household will give you a stone of refined salt as a greeting gift!"
"In addition, I also have a theater ticket for each person."
"In your spare time, all shopkeepers can go to my theater to watch operas! Zhu
Lai looked at the cooperation agreement with satisfaction and asked Geng Qing to give each merchant a ticket to a large theater.
Nowadays, the two large theaters Zhu Lai operates in Ganzhou Prefecture are doing booming business and it is hard to get a ticket. , its popularity far exceeds expectations!
This is mainly due to its unique plot design, which is really fascinating!
There are three types of ticket prices for the Grand Theater: 50 yuan for front row seats including tea fees; Each room costs ten taels of silver and comes with Ganzhou specialty melon and fruit snacks; a ticket for the back row is ten cents each.
Audiences need to enter half an hour in advance and must abide by the rules and regulations set by the theater.
No high altitude is allowed during the viewing period. Noise must not affect other people's viewing of the movie.
Whispering in private is fine as long as it does not affect others.
Violators will receive a verbal warning, and if they violate the rules again, they will be expelled directly!
In addition, Zhu Kai also heard that many storytellers in restaurants and teahouses have also come to Come to the theater to learn from the opera.
After watching the opera, they adapted the plot and took it back to their own restaurants or teahouses to attract customers and earn money.
After all, people are generally living in hardship nowadays, and it is not easy to support their families. Who can still How many people with spare money are willing to go to the theater?
And other people who are unwilling or unable to afford the ticket price can hear these stories in restaurants or teahouses.
This is enough for storytellers to tell them for a long time!
Regarding this phenomenon, Zhu Mei He also adopted a tacit attitude. After all, to a certain extent, this also played an indirect publicity role for his big theater! Dear bosses, I am shameless here and ask for some flowers, evaluation tickets and monthly passes!!!!!
Thank you all for your support!!!!
