Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1233 - 1128: The Flourishing Capital City

To be honest, although using Xiao Zihan’s method might bring relatively low profits, don’t forget, his plan is to turn the Capital City into the distribution center of the entire Dayou.

This means, while the prices here are cheap, the daily volume would be astronomical.

There’s an old saying, right?

Small profits but quick turnover.

It is exactly because of this reasoning that Lin Yi believes that if things go this way, it will not only drive domestic demand but also ensure Dayou never worries about finances again.

Of course, achieving this isn’t simple; it requires building reputation first.

But under the current circumstances, achieving this might be quite straightforward.

At least, take the soap as an example; it doesn’t exist anywhere else in Dayou, only here, which is unique. For the sake of profit, merchants will quickly find their way here, given their keen noses.

To chase profit, they are willing to do anything, especially when the world hasn’t been exposed to soap yet. They will certainly come in droves to buy here.

To speak bluntly, they will likely procure cheap soap here, then sell it at high prices in remote areas.

Thus, their profits could potentially double, or even more.

The fact is exactly as Lin Yi speculated; the merchants aimed to take the soap from here and sell it elsewhere.

Although a piece of soap currently costs one tael of silver, if taken to remote and affluent towns, it could still fetch five or six taels per piece with a solid market.

After all, as long as it’s properly hyped, it’s definitely something welcomed by the affluent.

While Lin Yi and Xiao Zihan were discussing here, the first batch of goods had already reached the hands of merchants. After receiving the goods, they rushed back to their respective towns.

After Lin Yi agreed on this strategy, Xiao Zihan quickly began to implement it.

The next day, soaps of different grades successfully appeared in the public eye.

Furthermore, to avoid affecting high-end market sales, Xiao Zihan separated the high-end market distinctly.

It’s safe to say that the high-end soaps are sold in dedicated stores with names and décor that are much superior to others nearby.

To achieve his goals, Xiao Zihan even relocated the areas selling cheap soap away from the high-end sales region.

This move further stabilized the high-end sales area.

After all, many wealthy people seeing the poor crowding in to buy would subconsciously think that this product isn’t as high-end as imagined. They buy for status and identity, not utility. So, it’s crucial to provide that sense of superiority to each of them.

One must say that the aim of this is indeed clear, and those dignitaries not only didn’t feel discontent but even felt pride.

Especially when seeing the poor only frequenting shabby shops, their sense of superiority heightened.

Even though it’s all soap, what kind of thing do you all use?

This is a gap in status, the difference between wealth and poverty.

This made them instantly more excited when faced with these soaps, and Xiao Zihan clearly mastered the modern sales techniques, even crafting special limited editions for these dignitaries to purchase.

Without exception, these limited editions were engraved with numbers. For instance, a special qilin-shaped soap was limited to ten pieces, each numbered distinctly to signify its meaning.

This intrigued the dignitaries, and they all aspired to obtain the limited edition items, as owning one out of ten is a significant status symbol.

Even one was auctioned at a staggering price of 8,188 taels of silver.

Some may argue that in the future world, limited editions often fetch hundreds of thousands, or even millions, yet now it’s only eight thousand taels. Isn’t that too little?

In truth, this is an incredibly substantial figure, especially considering one tael of silver nowadays equals a thousand yuan in the future.

By this conversion, it’s clear how terrifyingly high this 8,000 taels is. Don’t forget, all that’s purchased is a simply carved soap, with costs almost identical to the most ordinary soap, each costing less than two wen.

You could say that it’s all profit. When Lin Yi heard this, he couldn’t help but be amazed by these wealthy individuals’ lavishness.

Never did he expect that in the hands of these rich individuals, there would be so much wealth, and that they could spend so extravagantly on a piece of soap.
