Shane put the wooden box on the palm of his hand and showed it, and said, "If this Iodized Salt can only be used for prevention, it is indeed a bit difficult to promote it. Most people will not believe the effect of Iodized Salt above."
"So I plan to transport this batch of salt to a place with developed transportation and information first, and then sell it at a price several Copper Coins higher than other salts plus its publicity effect..."
"After a certain period of time, when all the people who bought our products do not have the disease, I will promote it, so that this Iodized Salt will spread in other cities. By then, everyone will form a consensus that the Iodized Salt we sell does have the effect of preventing big neck disease."
"In the future, we can open up channels across the country for large-scale sales."
After finishing speaking, Shane raised his head and looked at Claire, wanting to see the other party's reaction. He thought that although his plan was a bit crude just after it was formulated, there was no problem with the idea and it was absolutely reliable to implement.
But Claire's face didn't show any emotion at all, and he just listened politely to him describing the plan.
"Then how long will it take until you feel that people across the country have reached this consensus?"
Shane was slightly startled and began to make calculations in his mind.
"It will take about half a year, but the time cost is worth it. By then we will have access to the entire kingdom's channels, and the annual profit from this product alone will be worth millions."
This is already equivalent to the annual income of Claire's ancestor when he was a mine boss.
"I'm not saying your plan is bad, it's just that it takes too long to take effect." Claire said softly.
Combining the previous words, Shane also heard the implication of Claire's words, and immediately asked, "Then Mr. Viscount, do you have any good ideas?"
Although he used the tone of asking for advice, Shane was still a little unconvinced. He was from a business family after all and had seen many business methods. The plan just now was the most appropriate one he could come up with. He didn't believe Claire could come up with any better plan than him.
Claire leaned forward and got closer to the other party.
"First of all, the place with the most developed information transportation in the country is the Royal Capital, and we can choose it as the first city."
Shane nodded. What Claire said was quite satisfactory. In fact, Wangdu was also within his consideration range, but it was not the best choice. However, there were too many products in it, and he was afraid that he would not be able to compete with other merchants.
The development of traffic information is also the most important. Otherwise, even if the effect of Iodized Salt is achieved, the fame will not spread elsewhere.
Claire continued, "Unlike you just now, I think our Iodized Salt is not targeting ordinary people..."
Shane immediately retorted, "Although this can prevent big neck disease, it is just salt after all. If the price is too high, it will be difficult to sell it, let alone let others discover its effect."
"No!" Claire stretched out his index finger and shook it, then knocked on the wooden box on the table.
"How is the design of this wooden box?"
Shane didn't understand what this had to do with, but still responded, "It's very gorgeous, it can even be used to store some jewelry."
"The cost of this wooden box is about five Silver Coins, so the users targeted at the beginning are not ordinary people."
"First of all, you go to the royal capital and open a shop. The shop should be as gorgeous as it is gorgeous, as luxurious as possible, and equipped with all the high-end accessories, so that ordinary people would not dare to come in. But there is only one kind of goods sold inside, and that is our product - Iodized Salt!"
Shane is still confused, "Even so, it can only attract a small number of curious customers, and it is difficult to expand sales."
"Don't worry, just listen to me." Claire stretched out his hand to stop the other party.
"Don't worry about sales in the first few days. You are mainly responsible for finding the more famous doctors in the capital and giving them some Iodized Salt."
"What for?"
"Buy them." Claire said directly, "Let them publish an article in the newspaper saying that Iodized Salt can prevent big neck disease."
"It's difficult. They generally won't gamble with their reputation." Shane followed Claire's thoughts.
"Do you know how much a doctor in the capital earns per year?"
"One hundred Gold Coins? Or two hundred?"
"I have lived in the Royal Capital. The average annual salary of a doctor is around one hundred Gold Coins. The more famous ones can earn three or four hundred, but there are very few who exceed five hundred." The existence of priests fundamentally limits the annual salary of doctors. Even in the Royal Capital, it is not a profession that can make a lot of money.
"You spend one hundred Gold Coins to ask him to publish an article, but he won't do it, because he can earn it in a year, and he won't risk his reputation. If you spend five hundred Gold Coins to ask him to publish it, that's money he can earn in five years. He might He would hesitate, because just posting an article would not have a devastating impact on his reputation, but if you directly give out a thousand Gold Coins, I guarantee that most of them will spread out the paper on the spot and ask you what content you want him to write."
Hearing this sentence, Shane laughed out loud. He had really forgotten how powerful money is.
"You first find an ordinary doctor and ask him to report in a newspaper that Iodized Salt can treat large neck disease. This is just the beginning. Then you add more famous doctors and ask them to publish articles to prove that the previous doctor's report is true. Finally, find the most famous doctor in the capital..."
Shane's breathing became rapid. At this point, Claire could already foresee the success of this plan, and he was convinced. This plan was actually much faster than his previous plan.
But he was still extremely excited in his heart. He had never seen such a method before, so he rushed to answer, "Find the most famous doctor to prove that our Iodized Salt does have this effect, right?"
"No!" Claire spat softly.
Shane was shocked. Logically speaking, this should be the case.
However, he still said respectfully, "Please enlighten me."
"Get the most famous doctor to publish a report and ask him to say that the doctor who published the article first plagiarized his article..."
Shane's eyes lit up. He was very smart and quickly figured out the logic inside.
He slapped the table and said excitedly, "I know! Then let the two debate it, right? Hype this matter to the point where the entire capital knows about it, and then as long as they continue to argue in the newspapers, the popularity of this matter will continue. And the effect of our Iodized Salt has also been unknowingly known to everyone in the capital!"
Shane became more and more excited as he talked. At the end of the sentence, he stood up and couldn't help but admire. "To be honest, Lord Viscount, you are the second person I admire from the bottom of my heart. You can actually think of such a method. Compared with the previous plan, it is simply rubbish!"
The first person he admired was his father.
Claire smiled slightly and continued, "This is not enough..."
Shane sat down, looking like he was all ears.
"Then you give the knowledge I told you to that most famous doctor, and ask him to write a new report and send it out, and continue to argue with that person."
"What knowledge."
"Iodine element, a person's lack of iodine can lead to stupidity, shortness, deafness, paralysis, miscarriage and mental and physical damage."
Speaking of this, Claire smiled slightly and said, "Then you hire people to exaggerate these news and spread them wantonly in the capital, especially the damage to the intelligence and body. If you have no conscience, you can just say that not eating Iodized Salt may cause people to become mentally retarded."
"Hiss!" Shane took a breath. He could already foresee the turmoil caused by the news. Before, he was worried about whether this ton of salt could be sold out. Now the only worry is how many days can it last?
Claire doesn't feel guilty at all. Didn't the capitalists in the United States use this method before? It is obvious that sugar is the main culprit of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, but the sugar industry is the majority of the profits of these capitalists, so they spent money to bribe those scientists to target fat and conceal the truth.
At least what I promote is serious knowledge. Iodine deficiency will indeed cause these diseases, and iodine is indeed an indispensable trace element for the human body. So where does the sense of guilt come from? Those nobles who have eaten their salt will be considered sorry for themselves if they don't build a statue for themselves.
"Then how much does this box of Iodized Salt cost? At least three Gold Coins, right?" Shane asked tentatively. Compared with ordinary salt, it is already a thousand times more.
"Just the wooden box containing those Iodized Salts costs more than five Silver Coinss."
"The fifteen Gold Coins?" This has increased ten thousand times, Shane felt his heart trembling.
"The sugar I buy at home costs three pieces of Gold Coins per kilogram."
Shane gritted his teeth, "Fifty Gold Coins!"
"A treasure that can improve your IQ!"
"Seventy-five Gold Coins!"
"There are only five hundred boxes of Iodized Salt in the entire royal capital!!"
"One hundred Gold Coins!"
Claire then showed a satisfied smile, "I think the price is good, what do you think?"
Shane not only thought it was good, his heart was about to burst, but he also laughed, "The price is very reasonable."
"These five hundred boxes can be bought more expensively, and they will be gradually reduced when the output is high in the future." Claire said, these one hundred Gold Coins's Iodized Salt are just taking advantage of the first time to dare to sell them at such a high price. If the prices are still so high in the future, some means will have to be used again.
Moreover, Claire intends to sell Iodized Salt this time in order to create an industrial pillar for Nafu City and to increase its volume. Otherwise, it is not impossible to continue to follow the high-quality route, but the money earned is only for itself, and the people below are still suffering.
Thanks to "I am Lord Viscount" for the reward of 100 starting coins!!!!!
