Originally, Su Lun planned to plant 3,000 mu of land first, but he didn't expect that there were 4,000 mu of open land in Jinghu City. Then he planted all kinds of flowers, such as roses, jasmine, lavender, violets, tulips, datura, and so on.
Mirror Lake City had plenty of water and sunlight, so it was very suitable for planting flowers. Suhlen asked the caravan to buy a lot of flowers for them to plant.
It also took time for flowers to grow. In order to produce perfume, Su Lun asked people to collect some wildflowers first. Now it was the midsummer season, and wildflowers were everywhere in the wilderness. With some effort, they could still pick a lot.
After staying in Mirror Lake City for a day, Suhlen brought people back to North Town City.
Suhlen picked a piece of land in North Town City and asked the workers to build a perfume factory there. It was called a factory, but it wasn't much bigger than a private workshop. However, a sparrow might be small, but it had all the essentials. The perfume Suhlen was going to make wasn't difficult. The blacksmiths in North Town City could make all the tools they needed. Even if the blacksmiths couldn't make the tools, they could make one with magic.
Suhlen then arranged for some workers to learn the steps of making perfume. The workers in the winery purified the alcohol, and the materials were mixed in the factory. The only technical difficulty was the production of the flower essential oil, which needed to be extracted from runes.
Fortunately, the amount of flower essential oil used wasn't a lot. Suhlen only needed to spend some time to produce a dozen kilograms, and it would be enough for them to use for a long time. After everything was ready, the factory started to produce the perfume. The good perfume was all bottled in beautiful natural crystals.
These crystals were of high quality, and after being polished by professional craftsmen, the bottles alone were worth a lot. In order to sell a product at a high price, other than the quality of the product itself, another important factor was the packaging.
Just like in his previous life, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were all kinds of beautifully packaged mooncakes in the shopping malls. A box cost thousands of yuan, and there were only five or six mooncakes in it. The cost was at most a dozen yuan, but the packaging could instantly increase the price by dozens of times.
If he wanted to sell the perfume at a high price, he naturally had to prepare beautiful packaging for it. It had to be the kind that looked expensive at first glance. When some of these perfumes were produced, Suhlen would sell them.
Currently, there were more than thirty caravans trading with North Town City, such as sugar and rum. Each of these caravans was backed by a great noble or a direct member of the royal family. There was no need to worry about the sales of such high-end perfume. As for the price, it was set at fifty Kinnar per bottle.
Of course, considering that the perfume was a new product, the merchants were doubtful. Suhlen gave them a condition. After buying 50 bottles of perfume, they could add 50 kilograms of sugar or 200 bottles of rum.
Suhlen had never released the sales of the goods that were in high demand in Northern Town City. Instead, they used a trading certificate system. In other words, they were selling them in limited quantities. It was hunger marketing. This method had been used by many merchants in his previous life. However, in this world, Suhlen was the first to use it.
The advantage of doing so was that their goods could be sold at a higher price. After all, if they were to sell freely, even if they had a lot of luxury goods like white sugar, they would become worthless. He did not intend to sell his sugar and rum at a cheap price.
What good would it do him if it became cheap? Earn more money? Small profits but quick turnover? He would only do that if he lost his mind. He only needed to sell 1% of the perfume to make a huge profit. Why would he sell all of it to suppress the profits? No one was competing with him.
This time, in order to increase the sales of the perfume, Suhlen used the method of bundling sales. The merchants who wanted more sugar could only accept this method. The first batch of perfume produced 2000 bottles. As long as each merchant bought 100 bottles, they could all be sold. Even if there were some left, Suhlen would let the caravans in Northern Town City sell them. After the feedback, they would continue to produce the perfume.
Even if they only sold 2000 bottles of perfume per month, according to the price of 50 Kinnar, they could still bring in 100,000 Kinnar per month. It would take a lot of money to build a kingdom from poverty. Suhlen had to keep making money.
After handing over the perfume matter, Suhlen had nothing to do and started to wander around the city. Because of the large number of adventurers who came to Northern Town City, these adventurers would often go to the wilderness to search for treasures. Therefore, there was a special market here.
Occasionally, there would be some good stuff for sale. Suhlen planned to try his luck at this market. Maybe he could find something useful.
Since it was in the city, Suhlen did not bring any guards with him. He went alone. This market used to be called the Black Market. It was located on the street next to the mission hall. Even the Black Market was under the supervision of Northern Town City.
When Suhlen arrived, there were still many people in the Black Market. There were stalls on both sides of the street. All kinds of strange items were piled up messily on the stalls. Some were materials from ferocious beasts, some were unknown things found in ancient ruins, and some were materials from magical plants or magical beasts.
Of course, in addition to these, there were also some unscrupulous merchants selling all kinds of fake goods. For example, some merchants held a few pieces of metal and insisted that they were fragments of divine items. Some of them dug up porcelain jars from ancient ruins and insisted that they were magical equipment made by wizards. Some of them were even more ridiculous. They held some obsidian or polished bones and said that they were enchanted by wizards or shamans. They could protect themselves and drive away evil spirits.
Suhlen saw a guy like that in front of him who kept on recommending.
This guy was not tall, less than 1.7 meters, but his body was very fat. His face was cunning, and he looked like a profiteer. If he was not a profiteer, it would be a pity for him to look like one.
"Hey, look at you. You're going on an adventure, aren't you?"
"Don't go. I'm a proper merchant!"
"I have a lot of things you need in the wilderness. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"
Suhlen did not want to talk to him. He was about to take a detour. However, the fat man was not discouraged. He turned around and continued to promote.
"You must be a new adventurer. The wilderness is not a safe place. You'll be at a disadvantage if you rush in like this. I have amulets here. They're enchanted by wizards and can drive away the undead. I also have holy water. Not only can it deal with monsters, but it can also heal injuries. Oh right, there's also this. It's a wilderness survival guide."
"I spent a lot of money to hire over a hundred adventurers who often go deep into the wasteland to write this book. It records the various monsters in the wasteland, the places where they often appear, and some dangerous areas. It's definitely worth the money."
Wendern followed Suhlen and kept on recommending all kinds of products. However, Suhlen kept on walking and ignored him.
Seeing this, Wendell gritted his teeth, trotted two steps to the front of Su Lun, and directly blocked his way. He spread his feet, grabbed his collar with both hands, and then, like a perverted exhibitionist, directly lifted his clothes with a swish.
Su Lun was startled, thinking that he had encountered a pervert. He almost took out his Storm Battle Halberd and smashed him away. As a result, after this guy opened his clothes, he found that the inside of his clothes was filled with all kinds of goods.
"What do you think? These are all my collections. Do you like any of them? Tell me and I'll sell them to you at a cheap price. I like you, so I'm selling them to you."
“...”
Suhlen glanced at them. They were either wood carvings, stone carvings, or things made of broken bones. He was about to leave when he suddenly felt a strange energy wave.
Looking closely, it was a somewhat strange statue. This statue should be made of some kind of wood, but Suhlen did not recognize it. The statue's carving was rough and looked like it was made by an apprentice. The statue looked like a priest who was kneeling and praying.
However, the strange thing was that there was a hole in the statue's heart. Suhlen felt that the statue in front of him contained a very strange energy, which gave Suhlen a familiar feeling.
"You like this prayer amulet? You have a good eye. " After Wendern noticed Suhlen's gaze, his eyes lit up and he immediately took off the statue amulet.
"I asked a master to carve this prayer amulet, and then I took it to a senior priest of the Church of Light to bless it with divine spells. The effect is very strong. With this amulet, ghosts, skeletons, and undead will have to retreat."
As he spoke, Wendern handed over the amulet. Suhlen reached out and took it. The statue amulet did not feel rough like wood. On the contrary, its surface was very smooth, as if it was wrapped in a layer of paste.
The statue was of a woman. The woman's eyes were closed slightly, as if she was praying. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She looked very peaceful, but it gave Suhlen a strange feeling. The smile on the woman's mouth looked more like a mockery.
"Where did you get this statue?" Suhlen suddenly interrupted Wendern's chatter.
"I asked a master to carve this statue, and then I asked a priest of the Church of Light to bless it with divine spells. This is the best amulet I have. It only costs five Kinnar …"
Suhlen stared coldly at Wendern and did not speak.
After seeing Suhlen's gaze, Wendern smiled and then made a gesture. "How about four Kinnar?"
"More? Then three. Take it as a sign of friendship. This was blessed by the priest. "
"Two and a half Kinnar. I can't go any lower! You have to let me make some money! "Wendern gritted his teeth and said.
