Hearthstone Farm Lord

Chapter 109 Contracts
Sean quickly calculated the cost of producing perfume in his mind.

The price of wheat is 2.5 coppers/sauron. (The weight of a Sauron is about 0.33 kg)

Although every three Sauron wheat can produce one Sauron ale, the unit price of the worst quality ale is about 6 times that of wheat, that is, 15 copper coins/Sauron and 45 copper coins/kg.

One kilogram of inferior ale can theoretically distill 0.2 kilograms of alcohol, and counting the loss, 0.1 kilograms of alcohol can be distilled is not bad.

Take the small 50ml bottle in Xiao En's hand as an example, 0.1kg of alcohol can hold about 20 bottles, and the finished product of a bottle is only 8 copper coins.

Flowers are also based on this algorithm, and glass bottles are a little more expensive, about 3-4 silver coins each.

Adding up all the figures, including labor costs, the cost of a bottle of perfume must be less than 1 gold coin.

So Sean smiled and said to Jessica: "In the cooperation, I am responsible for the production and sales of perfume. The cost of each bottle of perfume is about 10 gold coins, so I plan to sell a bottle for 20 gold coins.

When the cost comes down in the future, I will also launch perfumes with different scents and grades.

Jessica, you are in charge of using your contacts to help me promote. For every bottle of perfume sold in Jorn City, I will give you 10% of the sales price of the perfume as a reward. What do you think? "

If Jessica is willing to help him promote the perfume, the effect will be very good!
Jessica herself is the most powerful woman in Jorn City, bar none.As long as Jessica used perfume all the time, it would definitely cause a wave of follow-up in the upper class, and rich ladies would definitely come to the store to snap up perfume.

So Sean paid one-tenth of Jessica's turnover as advertising fees, which is not a loss at all.

Hearing what Sean said, Jessica nodded, and immediately wanted to agree.

After using it, Jessica discovered the excellent commercial value of perfume. After all, this is something used by the gods in the Kingdom of God. How could it be bad?
Although the price is a bit expensive, a mere 20 gold coins is nothing to female nobles and ladies.

Although she was absolutely willing in her heart, Jessica still bargained by pretending to be dissatisfied according to the method in the textbook:
"No, at least 20%!"

Sean immediately shook his head: "I will pay for production, sales, and rent. If I pay you 20% of sales, you will make almost as much money as me. Of course I can't accept this!"

"Can you raise the price?"

"If the price increases, the sales volume will decrease!"

After some haggling, Sean and Jessica settled on 15 percent.

After that, Sean took Jessica into the study and signed the contract.

The contract stipulates:
Sean is responsible for the production and sales of the perfume, Jessica is only responsible for part of the publicity work, and Sean will pay Jessica 15% of the total sales.

Of course, in order to prevent Jessica from not actively promoting and taking 15% of the sales for nothing, the contract also stipulated that Jessica rented the best clothing store under the River Chamber of Commerce to Sean.

And before the contract was terminated, Jessica removed the need to use perfume in public places other than funerals.

Of course, this contract is only valid within the scope of Yorn City, and Sean does not need to pay Jessica a commission if he sells perfume in other places.

After signing the agreement, Sean nodded in satisfaction, then shook hands with Jessica with a smile: "We are partners now!"

Jessica was also very happy. In fact, she didn't really care what was written in the contract.

After all, Sean will be assassinated by an assassin after returning to Riverside Town. After Sean's death, the workshop that produces perfume will belong to her!

Thinking of this, Jessica smiled happier than Sean.

"Well, why do you suddenly have the feeling of killing your husband and stealing your property?" Jessica thought to herself.

After the contract was signed, Sean and Jessica started discussing the promotion of the perfume while the iron was hot.

Tonight's dinner is a very good time to promote.

But it is a pity that Jessica invited people of the same age this time, and the purchasing power may not be sufficient. If she wants to sell the perfume to ladies and female nobles who are not short of money, she has to wait for a large reception in the future.

Sean and Jessica had a common topic, and the two chatted more and more intensely, until there was a knock on the door of the study, which interrupted the conversation between Sean and Jessica.

Jessica had never chatted so happily with her peers before. Hearing the knock on the door, she was about to get angry, but thinking that Sean was the owner here, she forcibly restrained her anger.

"Come in!" Sean said to the door.

After obtaining Sean's permission, the door of the study opened, and a person walked in, and this person was Lucio.

After entering the door, Lucio looked at Sean and Jessica pitifully: "My lords, the food on the table is getting cold!"

"Oh, I almost forgot about lunch!" Sean patted his forehead.

Sean stood up and held out his hand: "Beautiful Miss Jessica, can I invite you to lunch?"

"I'm very happy, Your Highness Sean!"

Jessica put her hand on Sean's palm and was led to the restaurant by Sean.

Throughout the lunch, Sean and Jessica did not shy away from Lucio and kept discussing the perfume promotion.

Jessica also asked Sean for advice if she had any questions about publicity.

Sean has seen too many propaganda methods in his previous life, such as hunger marketing, high-priced promotions, and brainwashing bombing, so the problems raised by Jessica can be solved from a strategic height.

Through chatting, Jessica found that Sean's knowledge and experience were much better than those of her peers, and she was also very handsome, so she couldn't help but have a lot of affection for Sean.

But thinking that Sean was going to die soon, he had another look of pity.

Lucio ate his lunch silently, looking at the two with strange eyes.

After lunch, Sean personally sent Jessica away, and Lucio also bid farewell to Sean at the right time, but was held back by Sean.

After seeing off Jessica, Sean took Lucio into the study.

Entering the study, Sean said to Lucio: "Lucio, I have something to tell you"

Before Sean finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lucio.

"You don't want to pursue Jessica, do you?" Lucio teased.

"Where do you want to go?" Sean's hair was black. He hadn't forgotten that Jessica was the mastermind behind provoking Brody Mill to attack River Beach Town.

On the surface, they are very harmonious and have become partners, but in fact they are enemies.

"I asked you to come here this time because I wanted to borrow money from you."

"Borrow money? Yes! How much do you want to borrow?"

"3000 gold coins."

"3000 gold coins, so much!?" Lucio was taken aback, "I only have a few hundred gold coins on hand."

"Of course not from you, but from your family.

One month later, I will repay you 3300 gold coins with the principal and interest, and I can mortgage the town of Hetan to you. If I don’t make it by then, I will give you the town of Hetan. The total value of the town of Hetan is 3300 gold coins, right? "

"Originally, I would ask my dad for instructions on this matter, but my dad is not at home, and I have the final say at home!
Okay, I borrowed it, and I'll ask the housekeeper to bring the money later! "

Lucio replied bluntly.
