Chapter 249 The Wine Merchant’s Counterattack (please subscribe! 4000+)

  Basel City.

  The bright moonlight swayed on the streets, and the gradual darkness shrouded the filth on the side of the road in the shadow of the corner.

There is almost no light in Basel at night, except for the faint light of candles swaying in the brothel in the west of Basel, and laughter and howling from time to time, only the mansions of the big nobles will come from time to time. Several rustling noises.

  For most ordinary people in this era, when night falls, besides turning to bed and sleeping, I am afraid that they will only engage in the tedious movement of creating human beings.

  Because candles have always been expensive luxury goods, and they are definitely not affordable by ordinary small households.

Most of the shops on Nerva Avenue have been closed immediately after the sunset. Only the Norman family’s merchandise windows are brightly lit, and the glass-decorated exterior walls are also reflected in the light blue micro-scale against the backdrop of the magic spar. Light.

  Under the night, the luxurious decorations of the Norman family became more and more luxurious, attracting the attention of countless nobles.

  This is the card face!

  In more than half a year, the Norman family has completely established a foothold in Basel City.

  Under Bruno’s remote control and Cario’s specific implementation, the Norman family has established a very good brand reputation and left a very deep impression on the nobles of the entire Kingdom of Basel.

  The shortage of rose essential oil has made the nobles of Basel City raise their prices, but...

  The Norman family still adheres to its original sales principles and pricing standards, and is not affected by the high profits given by the outside world. The nobles of the Kingdom of Basel are full of praise.

  It's a fool to have money and not make money, but the problem is...what Idar people are after is more lasting profit and reputation!

  Of course, this does not prevent some salespersons who "guard and steal" from disguising themselves and carrying a few bottles of diluted rose oil to the black market to make high profits.

after all…

  The rose essential oil sold on the black market in the Kingdom of Basel not only has a higher price, but also has a lower content and a lower concentration!

Therefore, without affecting the business reputation of the Norman family, Cario will set aside a small portion of the rose oil quota every time, and occasionally let people stroll around on the black market, thereby compiling extra for the Norman family. profit.

  If rose essential oil makes the nobles jealous, then the low-alcohol wine produced by the Moore wine industry consigned in the Norman family can be described as driving the nobles of the entire Kingdom of Basel crazy!

  In this era where entertainment and cultural activities are so scarce, the nobles don’t have many hobbies, so... once the secret of the Warcraft wooden box was revealed, it set off a fashion trend in Basel City.

  The collection addiction of the nobles brought excessive income to the Norman family, and the crazy sales scene even made Cario shocked.

  If Bruno had not had the foresight and had prepared enough stocks in advance, maybe the low-grade wines of the Norman family might even face the risk of out of stock...

  Bruno’s sales method opened his eyes to Cario, as if most of his life’s business experience had been alive to the dog, and he couldn’t help being deeply impressed by the methods of Lord Bruno Stuart, Earl of Idal.

  Not only the two products of rose essential oil and low-alcohol wine, the gem-quality coral, high-grade spirits and other products sold by Norman Family also made Basel’s nobles full of praise.

  The excellent quality of the products is only one aspect. The luxurious and trendy decoration style of the Norman family and the well-trained sales skills and after-sales service of the sales staff also let the nobles who come to shop feel a sense of spring breeze.

  And this... is also unattainable by any other store!

  It is also under the influence of these many aspects that the brand effect of the Norman family has soared, so that the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel just heard that this is a product of the Norman family, they feel extraordinarily style.

  The Norman family did not stop operating after it closed. The staff responsible for managing the accounts and finances carefully counted the income of the day, and the shopping guides began to review their sales today and the current product inventory of the Norman family.

  The salary of Norman family sales staff is not constant. In addition to the most basic salary, the monthly commission can even reach more than five times the basic salary!

  The employees on the ground floor are busy, and on the top floor of the Norman family, Cario, the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, is sitting at the table, studying carefully the books written by Lord Earl under the bright candlelight.

  Not all words can be called books, and those words written by Bruno in his spare time have almost become the most respected works in Cario's mind.

  In his opinion, this is a wealth code that can make every businessman go crazy!

  Various kinds of sales tactics like wild horses and wild horses make people feel dazzling, so that Cario’s business awareness has been improved as never before.

  And Bruno not only mentioned a lot of eye-catching sales methods in this book, but also put forward many new terms, such as...Economy.

  The new term proposed by Bruno undoubtedly made Cario feel bright, what is economy? What is business?

  These are things that Cario hasn't thought about before.

  In his original understanding, the work of a businessman is nothing more than buying low and selling high, back and forth, selling goods from different regions back and forth.

But…

  Bruno gave these behaviors a clearer and newer explanation in the book, and it is still invisible, praising and affirming the significance and value of the merchant's existence, and raising the status of the merchant!

  Economy, it is not only the general term for people's production, circulation, distribution, and consumption of all material and spiritual materials, but also Bruno's way of economics and the world!

  Commodity circulation, wealth distribution, capital accumulation...

  These brand-new concepts have opened a new door for Cario, who has been in business for more than ten years, and made him realize for the first time the wealth and value he can create.

  Master Bruno...

  Looking at the words recorded in those books, Cario couldn't help but feel a sore nose.

  This is a kindness to self-reconstruction!

  Only by being loyal to the leader of Idar, running the Idar Chamber of Commerce prosperously, and giving a perfect answer to Lord Bruno, can we live up to the grace of Lord Earl!

  Cario should of course be shocked, because the contents of those books were all sorted out by Bruno after a lot of effort.

  With Idar's current financial resources, Bruno could actually live a life of aristocracy without shame, but... he didn't do that.

  The productivity of Idarling has indeed been gradually improved under Bruno's guidance, but the thinking and ideas of Idarling have remained on the original basis.

   It is obviously impossible to wait blindly for those Idar people who have just started to learn spelling.

In order to improve the abilities of many key officials of Cario, Shabi, Liszt, Mundell and Idalling as soon as possible, and to improve the depth and breadth of their thinking, Bruno personally compiled and sorted out a lot of notes, hoping to be able to Let them adapt to the changes in Idar's collar as soon as possible and follow their own footsteps more closely.

  As the president of the Idar Chamber of Commerce, Cario naturally became Bruno’s key cultivation object.

so…

Bruno combines the knowledge of Western economics, political economy, finance and other disciplines, and discards those theories and models that seem to be high-end and magnificent, but do not conform to the reality of the world, and use a more grounded language. , Concisely summarized the knowledge content about business, economy and sales.

  And Cario obviously lived up to expectations. In addition to daily operations, he devoted almost all of his time to books, gradually combining theory with practice, observing the business and economy of this world...

  ...

  The market in the Kingdom of Basel is vast, and the consumption power of the nobles is also jaw-dropping.

but…

  No matter how vast the market is, there will always be scope, and no matter how high the consumption power is, there will always be restrictions.

The Norman family is like a dragon crossing the river. Without warning, it plunged into Basel City and relied on Queen Alana as a backer to gather wealth that amazed everyone in a very short period of time. .

  The Norman family gained a firm foothold in half a year, achieved a reputation and won praise. This made many nobles full of praise, but also made some nobles feel gritted their teeth.

  Rose essential oil will not have a direct impact on the original market, but the sale of low-alcohol wine has made many people jealous.

  Because the consumption of alcohol is limited, it is impossible for a nobleman to drink wine as water all day long, so...

  When the low-alcohol wines of the Norman family were in hot sales driven by the Warcraft wooden caskets, the rest of the wine shops had poor sales and even suffered heavy losses.

  Being able to operate a wine business in the capital of the Kingdom of Basel, mostly because of the support of a nobleman.

  Therefore... the vendors in charge of running the shops all hate the Norman family.

  Cut off the path of wealth and money is like killing a parent. Behind the hot sales of the low-grade wines of the Norman family, countless wine vendors have encountered criticism and reprimands from the nobles behind them.

  So, after such a long time, they finally couldn't sit still!

  After all, the queen is not a king, and even if it is a king, there will be nobles who will take risks in the face of excess profits and try to touch the tiger’s beard.

  Capitalists even dared to sell the ropes that hang themselves. Although these merchants who rely on nobles are not capitalists, they are also blushing for the high profits in the low-grade wine market.

  You should know that the low-alcohol wines sold by Norman Family are much more expensive than other wines!

  In a pub in the south of Basel, businessmen who manage wine in the city almost gather here, and the atmosphere seems solemn.

  "Everyone! The Norman family is really deceiving too much! If this continues, the entire wine market in Basel City will be swallowed by them!" Harley Santa Cruz took the lead and said.

   "Yes! This situation must be changed!" Ernie Mfila agreed with a black face.

  Halé Santa Cruz and Ernie Mfila are the largest wine merchants in Basel City, and each year they make a lot of profits for the southern aristocracy of Basel behind them.

  Originally, the two of them were their own masters, and there were many contradictions, but this year...the arrival of the Norman family broke the previous situation, so that their two past rivals had to come together.

  If you can't get through this difficulty as soon as possible, then the life of the two of them will never be better!

  After the two biggest wine merchants in Basel City spoke, the tone of this gathering was determined.

  That is to put aside the previous prejudices, and jointly fight against the low-grade wines sold by the Norman family, and grab back the original market.

  Just... how easy is this?

   "After all, the Norman family has a queen as its backing, and the noble lords also love the rose oil sold by the Norman family..." a wine merchant said in a dilemma.

  This really makes many wine merchants a little embarrassed.

  On the one hand, the existence of the Norman family has greatly affected their original product sales, and sales revenue plummeted, causing the nobles behind them to become angry;

   On the other hand, the noble lords behind them are full of praise for the products of the Norman family, and even bought a lot of Norman products.

  This is kind of embarrassing...

   "Alana Haring is the queen of the Kingdom of Basel after all, and a member of the royal family. It is impossible to ignore the power behind us and support the Haring family at all costs..."

   "Besides...actually suppressing the low-alcohol wine sold by the Normans does not necessarily affect the Normans..."

  Harley Santa Cruz suddenly said something that makes people feel a little confused.

   "What do you mean?" A businessman frowned, puzzled.

"According to our investigations these days, the low-alcohol wines sold by the Norman family are not actually the products of the Norman family, but are sold as an agent for a vineyard called Moore Winery, and the Moore Winery... It is the property of a nobleman in the Norman Empire!"

"what?!"

  The vendors present were shocked. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

  "As a Baselman, how can I let the Norman nobles earn our gold coins so easily?" Harley Santa Cruz said in a deep voice.

   "Do you have any plans?" someone asked.

  “The reason why the wines of Moore Wines are so popular in the Kingdom of Basel is simply by relying on the so-called magic tricks such as the wooden boxes of Warcraft!

  "In these days, I have ordered the workshop to rush day and night, and also produced a batch of wine wooden boxes engraved with Basel-style patterns! This is on our site, and it may not be impossible to overwhelm them!"

   Harley Santa Cruz said smugly.
