Game Of Thrones : Merchant of Two Worlds

Chapter 16: 16. New Product



When the merchants saw the paper and pens placed on the counter, they became excited and quickly placed their orders.

"50 of these, 100 of those."

Jason Liu was busy, sweating from the rush of selling so many pens and paper.

By the end of the afternoon, all the gel pens and refills Jason had brought were sold out, and only 2,000 sheets of A4 paper were left. It seemed that the price of the A4 paper was a bit high, so it didn't sell as well as the pens.

Jason Liu thought about reducing the price of the A4 paper to make it more affordable. Although most of the merchants bought what they needed, some still decided to buy a few sheets of white paper when they couldn't get more gel pens.

Just as the merchants were about to leave, Jason Liu brought out another product he had prepared—soap.

"Wait a moment, everyone! I have one more item from the far east that I think you'll all love," Jason Liu announced, pulling out a small basin of water and a bar of soap.

Hearing this, the merchants stopped and watched curiously.

Holding up the soap, Jason Liu explained, "This is soap. You can use it to wash clothes, hands, face, or even take a bath. It cleans off any kind of dirt or oil. Just rub a little soap on, and it all washes away."

He invited one of the merchants to try it. After washing his hands, the water in the basin turned black, but the merchant's hands were much cleaner.

The merchant smelled his hands and said in amazement, "Incredible! Not only are my hands clean, but they also smell nice!"

(The "fragrance" he mentioned was actually just the chemical scent of the soap. But compared to the sweaty odor on his hands, the soap definitely smelled much better!)

Next, Jason Liu demonstrated how to wash dirty clothes using the soap, and it worked much better than the soap blocks commonly used in Westeros.

Seeing this, the merchants were very interested and asked about the price. This time, Jason Liu was prepared and offered the soap for 50 copper stars per bar. While this price was too high for common people, it wasn't much for the wealthy. In no time, all 100 bars of soap were sold.

After announcing that all his products were sold out, the merchants happily left with their purchases.

Jason Liu then closed the door and started counting his earnings for the day.

To his surprise, he made a total of 3,000 silver deer, which was equivalent to 23 gold dragons and 700 silver deer!

After deducting the 220 silver deer he spent on buying the house and the 3 silver deer he paid to Old Rhodes, Jason Liu had 26 gold dragons and 907 silver deer left.

The 26 gold dragons alone contained about 780 grams of gold, which was worth about 241,800 yuan (at 310 yuan per gram).

In just one day, he had earned about 240,000 yuan! This number left Jason Liu in shock.

Excited, he gathered all the gold dragons and silver deer, then returned to his rental house.

His only thought now was to exchange these 26 gold dragons for cash as soon as possible. He felt more secure with the money in his bank account.

Without wasting any time, Jason Liu took the 26 gold dragons and rode his electric scooter to Boss Wang's Hengli Gold Store. He already knew Boss Wang could buy the gold, and they had made a deal the previous day.

When Jason Liu entered Boss Wang's office again and took out the gold coins, Boss Wang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Wow! I didn't expect you to have so much more gold," Boss Wang said, examining the coins. "Aren't these the Golden Dragon coins from that American TV series that was popular last year?"

Jason Liu nodded, "Yes, I got them from a friend. They made these as special commemorative coins."

Boss Wang inspected the coins and said, "The craftsmanship is rough, but they're quite collectible among Game of Thrones fans."

"How much will you pay for these coins?" Jason Liu asked.

"Well," Boss Wang replied, "I'm not interested in collectibles, but I can pay you based on the gold content. What do you think?"

Jason Liu didn't believe that Boss Wang wasn't interested in their collectible value. But since Jason didn't have many other options, he agreed to negotiate.

After some bargaining, they settled on a price of 320 yuan per gram of gold. Although Jason Liu felt it was a bit of a loss, he was happy to finalize the deal.

The 26 gold dragons weighed a total of 908.71 grams, worth 290,787.2 yuan at the agreed price. Boss Wang rounded it up to 291,000 yuan and transferred the money to Jason Liu's bank account.

Now, the balance in Jason Liu's bank card was 300,000 yuan.

Boss Wang was very friendly, and they exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat before Jason Liu left.

Returning home on his scooter, Jason Liu thought about his inventory. The gel pens were completely sold out, so he needed to restock. He still had 5,000 refills left, so he'd have to order more.

There were also 7,000 sheets of A4 paper left, and he planned to lower the price or buy 10,000 more sheets.

For the soap, he decided to sell what he had on hand first.

He made a list of what he needed:

10,000 gel pens at 0.5 yuan each, costing 5,000 yuan100,000 refills at 0.05 yuan each, costing 5,000 yuan10,000 sheets of A4 paper at 0.05 yuan each, costing 500 yuan

In total, he spent 10,500 yuan on supplies. If he sold everything, he could make over 100 times his investment.

Jason Liu realized he could earn millions if things kept going this well!
