Chapter 38: The Perfume Event
1,500 Canadian dollars per bottle? On the premise that no one comes to share the money, Ahao’s profit per bottle has doubled.
But seeing how confident Julie looked, he felt that he could still negotiate the price.
"With its effects, I don't think it should be priced at the same price as Grapefruit Paradise."
Julie shook her head: "Actually, this price is much higher than the market price. I know your perfume is extraordinary, but no one can say for sure how much it will sell for before it is tested by the market, right?"
"Then how much are you prepared to sell?"
"My reasonable selling price expectation is 2,500 Canadian dollars. If you can prove that you can sell it at a higher price, we will have room to negotiate the price."
Ah Hao touched his face in embarrassment, he really couldn't prove it.
"Okay, do you know the news about Zu Nana's new perfume launch?"
"I know. What's wrong?" Ahao thought of the racket that was being set up in full swing in the central square of Agadi.
Since leaving his job, he hasn't paid attention to Zu Nana's perfume for a long time. But judging from the time, it is time to complete it.
"Zunana has invited a lot of celebrities, and that day will be a grand event for the perfume industry. If we can make a name for ourselves there, then others will definitely come to you with money to buy perfume. By then, I won't be happy if your price is too low.
"
"Zunana's new product launch conference, can we go there to sell perfume?"
Julie raised the corner of her mouth mysteriously: "If you just say you want to sell perfume, that's definitely not possible. We can sell other things openly and sell your perfume secretly!"
Ahao was very excited after hearing this: "I think this is a feasible plan! How to operate it specifically?"
"I have an invitation from Zu Nana, and I can allocate two cabins in the surrounding market. In one I will sell the goods in the store. In the other one, I can let you sell drinks!"
"Drinks?"
Julie chuckled: "Selling perfume in a place that sells drinks is something that no one would think of. However, we need to look for the source of the drinks."
When he heard about drinks, Ahao immediately thought of Wen De. He had a friend who was a bar owner, and he was worried that he couldn't find drinks.
"I can take care of the drinking problem, and can I bring in some helpers?"
"Of course, you can't take care of it alone. You can find customers over there to test the price. If the customers can afford a higher price, we can negotiate the price. But I can guarantee that I can give you a price of at least 1,500 a bottle.
"
"Okay, I agree." Ahao felt that Julie was quite sincere.
"Zunana's press conference is on Sunday, and there is only one week left. Remember to prepare more of your goods. Then you can bring all your perfumes to display."
Julie looked at the silver-black ring on Ah Hao's hand, and pretended to be unintentional and said: "If you need to purchase raw materials in large quantities, I can give you a deposit in advance."
"It would be great if you have a deposit, but I don't ask for your deposit in vain."
Ahao took out a large can of unpacked Pina Colada from his bag.
"Let's exchange it. If you pack it separately, it can hold more than 20 bottles of perfume. Let's count it as 20 bottles. After all, there is still the cost of glass bottles."
Julie looked at the can of perfume with bright eyes, opened the can, tasted it, and immediately said: "Okay! Just wait a moment."
Julie took out a check, filled it out carefully and handed it to Ah Hao.
Ahao took it and took a look and found that it was a check with a face value of 30,000 Canadian dollars, which was cashed by Agadi Bank.
Ahao collected the check and stood up to leave, "Thank you, I think you are really a good partner, Miss Julie."
Julie also stood up and shook hands with Ahao: "I hope we can cooperate more deeply in the future."
After bidding farewell to Julie, Ahao felt that the road ahead was extremely bright.
...
Ahao quickly walked to Agadi Bank and changed the check given by Julie into cash.
With a thick stack of money in his arms, Ahao was sure that Julie had not lied to him.
Perfume is truly a huge profit-making product in this city.
Excluding the mysterious watermelon ketone, the total of his scattered raw materials does not exceed 3,000 Canadian dollars. He uses the refining array to extract the essence, and after blending it, he can get ten times the profit.
In comparison, the meager salary you get from working as a store clerk is really just begging for food.
Ahao first ran around several markets in Agadi and placed batch orders with familiar bosses.
He first booked a total of fifteen thousand Canadian dollars, all of which was used to purchase raw materials for perfume.
According to his order, these bosses will send people to deliver the goods to him every day, and it will take a week to complete the delivery.
This delivery pace is in line with his purification efficiency and will not fill his home with raw materials.
Otherwise, even if he wanted to work hard to make it, the energy in his body would not be able to sustain the unlimited use of the formation.
According to his estimate, these raw materials are enough to make about a hundred bottles of perfume.
In addition, he spent another two thousand Canadian dollars to order perfume bottles, and another eight thousand Canadian dollars to purchase more advanced perfume preparation equipment and some scattered tools.
Want to make perfume quickly and on a large scale?
He originally wanted to order a bigger table and draw and practice formations on it, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
It’s just that the place he rents now is too small!
Ah Hao feels that after everything is on track, he will have to find another suitable studio. Making perfume at home is really not a good choice.
But looking at the 5,000 Canadian dollars left in his hand, he felt helplessly that he didn't have the capital to think about such a far-reaching thing.
It’s better to wait until all the orders on hand are digested before thinking about it.
Next, Ah Hao is going to go to the lower city. It seems that he hasn’t seen Wen De in a long time.
...
Pushing open the door of the Abyss Bar, the store was empty, with only a few guests who treated the bar as a restaurant eating.
After looking around the bar, Ahao rarely saw Wen De.
He walked towards the bar, where a brown-haired bartender was standing there in a daze.
Ah Hao remembered seeing him, and he helped him during the last bar fight.
"Hello, I'm looking for Wende. Isn't he here?"
Seeing Ah Hao coming, the bartender quickly stood up and showed a business smile to Ah Hao: "The boss is not here, he should have gone home."
"Thanks for what happened last time. I don't know what your name is yet. Just call me Ahao."
"My name is Dick, haha. That was all the way it should be before. How could I let my boss's friend get beaten?"
As he spoke, the bartender named Dick suddenly sneaked closer to talk to Ah Hao.
"After that time, I saw that golden-haired kid sneaking in a few more times. I looked at him as if he was looking for someone. Do you think he was looking for you?"
"Huh? Why are you looking for me?" Ahao just pretended to be stupid.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing."
"I've always been curious, why was there so much wind in the stadium?"
Ah Hao narrowed his eyes. He knew why. But after Wen De's prompting, he went back and carefully looked at the manual given by the Arcane Law Association.
It is clearly written on it that information related to the arcane mage must not be disclosed to ordinary people, otherwise the association will be held accountable, ranging from expulsion from the association to imprisonment.
So Ah Hao said perfunctorily, "Who knows, maybe it's a new invention of the people from Shangcheng."
As he said that, he immediately changed the topic.
"By the way, did that golden-haired James pay for your bar later?"
"I lost a lot of money. Didn't you see that the boss was happy to renovate the wine immediately?"
"I see. Well, since he's not here, just tell him that I came to see him."
"Ah Hao, I have paper and pen here. You can leave a message."
"OK."
Taking the paper and pen from the bartender Dick, Ahao wrote a brief letter.
The letter briefly introduced the content of his cooperation with Julie today, and invited Wende to attend Zunana's new product launch conference.
As he was writing, Ahao suddenly thought of the Flying Dragonfly of the Arcane Law Association.
Just talk to it, and it seems that the dragonfly can help it bring the words to the person it wants to say.
It's really a very practical invention.
Ahao kind of wants one so that he doesn't have to travel back and forth all the time up and down the city.
"Okay, please give him to Wen De." Ahao folded the letter in half and handed it to the bartender.
"No trouble, how about you, why don't you have a drink?"
"No, I have something else to do." After declining the kind invitation from the bartender Dick, Ah Hao left the Abyss Bar.
