The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin felt very refreshed when he thought that he was going to build a leather factory in Hokkaido and refurbish the worn-out buckskins discarded by people from the Northeast to make leather armor to pit the Japanese.

In the previous life, the Chinese would sell anything good to the Japanese first. What organic vegetables and wild mushrooms are packed and sent to Japan. Chinese people can only eat what they don't want. Even honey, most of the honey from Huaxia in later generations was purchased by trading companies and sold to Japan, Europe and the United States. As for the Chinese people, hehe, most of the honey bought in the supermarket is fake...

Therefore, Marin has always been very popular-why do the devils use the good ones, and we have to use the bad ones? So, in this life, when he got a chance, Marin made a decisive decision—to refurbish it with the worn-out leather that people from the Northeast used to throw away, and sell it to the Japanese village head Mingming at a high price for the new leather...

Because of the high degree of development in Japan, there are very few wild animals in the wild. Otherwise, the Dutch would not be able to sell hundreds of thousands of buckskins to Japan every year. Without him, Japan itself has no deer. Because of the large population, the living space on the island is occupied by humans, so where is the living space for deer? Therefore, leather or something is still in short supply in Japan.

Moreover, although Marin cheated the name of the Japanese village chief in terms of price, if those old leathers are cut and used, the effect is not much different from that of new leathers. After all, they are all leather, and their ability to withstand knives and guns is similar. As long as there are no holes, the effect of old leather armor is no worse than that of new leather armor.

Thinking of the Hokkaido leather factory that will be established on the island of Hokkaido, Marin inexplicably thought of the famous Jiangnan leather factory in later generations. However, he is not the director of Huang, and he will not let the Hokkaido Tannery owe 350 million, but intends to let the Hokkaido Tannery earn "350 million" from the Japanese daimyo and samurai. After all, the trade in weapons and armor has been huge profits since ancient times.

In peacetime, maybe the leather armor might not be able to sell well. But now is the era of the melee of Japanese village chiefs, and there is a strong demand for weapons and armor. Marin can take advantage of this market and make a lot of money.

Maybe Marin can't intervene in the samurai sword market, but it is still possible to make a batch of iron spearheads and sell them to Japanese daimyo. You know, because of iron deficiency in Japan, many weapons used by Ashgaru are simply sharpened bamboo poles, without even a gun head. In fact, even many Japanese samurai swords are made of Fujian iron imported from Daming.

Right now, the great pirate Wang Zhi has not yet opened up the Japanese market on a large scale, and even Fujian Railway has not yet been able to enter the Japanese market on a large scale. Therefore, Japan is now seriously short of ironware.

Even if Marin can't get involved in the supply business of samurai swords, he can still import Fujian iron from Daming and sell it at a high price to Japanese blacksmiths who make samurai swords. In addition, he can also get some iron spearheads and sell them to the Japanese daimyo, so that they can put spearheads on their ashigaru bamboo poles and wooden sticks to make them more lethal...

However, think twice,

Marin finally gave up his plan to sell the iron spearhead made by Fujian Railway. why? Because this conflicts with the leather armor business!

What is leather armor for? Facing a sharp samurai sword, leather armor is actually powerless. However, the Japanese samurai did not intend to use leather armor to defend against the attack of the enemy samurai's katana, but to defend against the attack of the opponent's sharpened bamboo pole.

A double layer of buckskin leather armor can definitely block the attack of the sharpened bamboo pole. In the face of bows and arrows, even if they can't completely resist them, they can largely offset the lethality of many arrows.

Therefore, the function of the leather armor is actually to prevent the "noble" samurai from being stabbed to death with a bamboo pole by the "lowly" ashigaru. In addition, the attached defense samurai is killed by the enemy's bow and arrow. As for the samurai battle, it depends on the strength of each martial arts...

If Marin sells iron spearheads to those daimyo, so that the ashigaru bamboo poles have iron spearheads, needless to say, the biggest victims must be those samurai masters wearing leather armor. Nima, the ashigaru bamboo spear can stab the samurai master to death, so why buy fur leather armor?

Therefore, in order not to affect the sales of leather armor made of refurbished broken buckskin, Marin could only give up the iron spearhead business, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of "self-contradictory".

Moreover, the profit of selling iron spearheads is far less than selling refurbished dilapidated leather armor. In the Northeast region, the difference between the purchase price and the free gift is not very big. And after processing and selling to Japanese daimyo and samurai, the profit is more than dozens of times?

And reselling daimyo mintie to Japanese blacksmiths, although the profit is high, but compared with the sale of worn-out buckskin into leather armor, the profit is much smaller.

Therefore, "the two benefits are the most important", Marin still chose the business of refurbishing leather armor from old buckskin, and gave up the iron business.

...

Because of the sudden acquisition of such a large deerskin resource, Marin suddenly remembered the very profitable industry in later generations-brand-name leather bags...

The famous leather bag brand L.V of the later generations, it is said that the cost of two hundred yuan is not negotiable if you sell it for tens of thousands...

This kind of profit is basically comparable to the huge profits of arms and drugs. Of course, this is just the cost of production. But in future generations, the cost of brand value and promotional design will also be taken into account. It even includes the high rent of the store. However, even so, the profits of big-name merchants such as L.V and Gucci are against the sky. As long as there are fanatical and easily fooled women, these luxury merchants will have endless money...

Therefore, Marin planned to also set up a leather bag factory, specializing in the production of leather bags, selling them to women, and earning huge profits...

Originally, Marin planned to use the leather resources of the Northeast, set up a factory in Hokkaido, and sell it directly to Daming after production. However, after thinking about it again and again, Marin gave up...

why? Because women in this era of Ming Dynasty never leave the house! They don't leave the gate all day long, so even if you give them a purse, where can they show off?

The purse is meant to be carried in the hand to show off to others, and a woman in Daming never even leaves the door, so who should she show off to? Therefore, the idea of ​​using leather bags to earn money from Daming women went bankrupt. However, perfume soap touches can continue. Because, those two kinds can be used to please the husband, which is very practical. As for the purse, it was given up because the woman could not go out.

Of course, only Daming's women were the ones who gave up. European women can still fight for it...

Marin can completely transport the excess and intact deerskin from the Far East back to China, and then cut and process it, and make it into the style of famous brand bags of later generations according to the instructions of Marin's memory.

Then it's simple, for those leather bags that imitate the style of later generations of famous brand bags, Marin will ask people to send a batch to those noble women for free. Then, as soon as the social atmosphere is driven by them, the whole society will gradually like exquisite leather bags.

Moreover, Marin intends to implement a bundled sales strategy. In the leather bag in his hand, Marin will produce a matching makeup box according to the girls' preferences, with a small mirror inside, so that women can take pictures at any time to see if there is anything wrong with them.

At the same time, a woman's purse must be filled with snacks. The biscuits and cakes packed in paper bags of Beihai Guoyou are naturally important items in these imitation brand-name leather bags. When you're free, women can also take out snacks from their bags...

Although the later generations of Marin couldn't buy brand-name bags that cost tens of thousands, he had seen pictures of various brand-name bags. Now the memory is good, and I can recall it. As long as you give advice to the master cobblers, you can imitate it...
