Dragon's Origin

Chapter 410: Turning Water into Gold (Part 2)

Ling'er couldn't figure it out, and finally turned her pleading gaze to Lu Wenhou's face. Ling'er's strength was her extensive knowledge and memory, providing Lu Wenhou with the information he wanted at any time, not in such long-term strategies.

"Our beer isn't only sold by our Yu Baozhai," Lu Wenhou reminded her, then smiled and waited for Ling'er to understand on her own.

Indeed, beer wasn't only sold by Yu Baozhai. If you went to Yu Baozhai to buy it directly, you could of course buy it, both in barrels and bottles, no problem at all. But some people who lived far from Yu Baozhai could also buy it nearby in certain restaurants and taverns, which was very convenient.

Could it be that white wine would also adopt this method? Ling'er thought for a moment, and suddenly understood a little, excitedly asking, "Is it that we appropriately distribute some of the benefits, and naturally someone will help us bear the pressure?"

"My Ling'er is so clever!" Lu Wenhou praised with a big laugh. After praising her, he hugged Ling'er and kissed her little face hard, blurting out, "So fragrant! Which fragrance from Run Zifang is this?"

"Young Master!" Ling'er said with a delicate嗔, her whole head buried in Lu Wenhou's arms, unable to lift it up because of shyness.

Ling'er was absolutely right. Lu Wenhou had also had a lot of psychological pressure when he wanted to ask Wang Sheng for a solution.

But this problem was not a problem at all for Wang Sheng, and he could easily resolve it. In the end, wasn't the pressure because he had cut off other people's financial path? Then give more people a financial path, and everyone can share the pressure, right?

Even at the scale of Yu Baozhai, this world still couldn't escape the family workshop-style production method, except that the scale of large businesses was larger, being family workshop-style.

For example, Baoqing Yu Tang back then, the salt and sugar industries were all handled by themselves. Except for the raw materials that needed to be purchased, basically from production to transportation to sales, everything was handled by Baoqing Yu Tang.

Yu Baozhai was the same. The snake medicine before was all handled by Yu Baozhai, and the later camps were basically operated in this way. If brewing wine was still like this now, then the more you earn, the greater the pressure you naturally bear.

Where on Earth is there a company that can produce everything? Even the most powerful Samsung in South Korea has areas it can't cover, let alone Yu Baozhai in this world.

Wang Sheng directly suggested giving away a portion of the profits, only mastering the core technology, and earning the part that they could earn. The rest would all be distributed.

At that time, Lu Wenhou was a little puzzled. Even if he wanted to distribute the profits, he had to have a plan. He couldn't just hand over his family's brewing secrets, right? How would he make money then?

"Are you stupid? I just told you to master the core technology yourself," Wang Sheng said angrily. These guys were just so obtuse that Wang Sheng could only give a few more pointers.

"In the future, Yu Baozhai will only be responsible for brewing wine," Wang Sheng said quickly to Lu Wenhou, "Wine barrels and wine bottles, all buy them from outside, is that easy?"

Lu Wenhou nodded, this was easy. Was he afraid of not being able to buy things if he had money? But he immediately understood that this was just like buying those grain raw materials, right? Outsourcing everything that didn't require his own effort, and only grasping the core brewing technology on his side, not only would he distribute some of the benefits, but he would also save himself a lot of trouble.

If Yu Baozhai had to do everything, many things would have to be started from scratch, such as firing porcelain bottles and making wooden barrels. It would be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. But now, Yu Baozhai only needed to order the exact same things all over the country, and there would be specialized workshops providing goods continuously, quickly and well, and they would do it professionally.

"In the future, don't put all the wine for sale in Yu Baozhai alone," Wang Sheng continued to instruct, "Yu Baozhai will set a retail price, and sell at retail at this price. But also set a wholesale price, as long as other merchants come to buy, give them according to this wholesale price, of course, also unify the retail price, so that everyone has a profit to earn."

This was actually a very ordinary business behavior. Yu Baozhai also wholesaled and bought many things from other places and then sold them. It was just that some small shops didn't have the scale of Yu Baozhai, so they couldn't compete with Yu Baozhai. But beer was something that Yu Baozhai was definitely unable to distribute on a large scale on its own. After distributing it to these small shops, it immediately spread like wildfire.

The reason why beer was able to sweep the country in a short period of time was because of Wang Sheng's idea. Relying on Yu Baozhai alone, I'm afraid it would have to be promoted until next year to achieve this effect.

Beer could be done this way, and those white wines could of course be done the same way. Even all the wines, Yu Baozhai could wholesale to its peers. If Baoqing Yu Tang wanted it, no problem, just go according to the wholesale price, guaranteeing absolutely profit. When all the big businesses were selling Yu Baozhai's wine, what pressure could crush Yu Baozhai?

At that time, Lu Wenhou almost prostrated himself on the ground. Wang Sheng's suggestions simply subverted the commercial model of this world. Lu Wenhou regarded it as a treasure, and was about to enshrine Wang Sheng as the God of Wealth.

The beer sales were just a small test, but the crazy momentum made everyone in Yu Baozhai stunned. Everyone was now just waiting for the white wine to come out, what kind of sweeping everything it would become.

It was said that the City Lord of Worry-Free City was also surprised after hearing the sales volume of beer in the first month. Now, the vast majority of people in Worry-Free City no longer drank the sour so-called fine wines of the past, and have all switched to beer. For this reason, the City Lord of Worry-Free City specially supported several super-powerful formation masters, just to help Yu Baozhai find a formation to accelerate the aging of white wine, so that the wine could be released as soon as possible.

Along with the sales of beer, Wang Sheng's reputation as a golden hand still spread. Many people knew about Wang Sheng's cooperation with Yu Baozhai before. Yu Baozhai didn't hide it, and specially pointed out in the later publicity that this was the fine wine jointly produced by Changsheng Hou and Yu Baozhai. This was just the first type, and there were several more peerless fine wines being brewed.

Even if they didn't know the real sales volume of beer, people from various forces could roughly estimate it. One calculation didn't matter, but it was a shock. A cheap product of more than a dozen copper coins a glass could actually make so much money?

This was just beer. If the legendary peerless fine wines came out, how much would Yu Baozhai earn in a year? It really lived up to the legend of the golden hand. They would be embarrassed to greet people if they didn't have an annual income of several hundred million gold coins.

At this moment, I don't know how many people were frantically thinking of various ways to see how they could get in touch with Wang Sheng and cooperate. There were many people in the world who had grudges against Wang Sheng, but no one had grudges against gold coins!
