Li Hui turned around and looked up in surprise, and saw Xie Daoyun standing at the entrance of the pavilion, looking down from a high position like a fairy with fluttering clothes.
"For Xiao Xuan's sake, I can agree to help you sell soap." Xie Daoyun said in a deep voice.
Li Hui thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "No need, Miss Xie, I never force others to do things. It was my fault before, I shouldn't have asked Miss Xie to do such a thing for me, and there was no talk of kickbacks. This is a big deal
It has damaged Ms. Xie’s image and humiliated Ms. Xie’s character. That’s because I was confused. I can’t make mistakes knowingly. I will find a way on my own.”
Xie Daoyun was very angry. This guy actually rejected her. He was really... such a disgusting guy.
"You don't have to think that way. I understand that a gentleman loves money in a proper way, and good things must be shared. I do this voluntarily, not forcing myself." Xie Daoyun said.
Li Hui smiled bitterly and said, "Seriously?"
Xie Daoyun frowned and said: "Of course it's true. By the way, I want two thousand dollars as a kickback, and it won't be enough for even one less."
Li Hui looked at Xie Daoyun in shock, talented women love money? What's going on?
"Don't look at me like that. Everyone needs money, so I get it in a wise way. I can't work in vain. How about two thousand dollars for a piece of soap? If you don't want to, just give up." Xie Daoyun gritted his teeth and said.
Until today, Xie Cainnu probably never even dreamed that she would openly discuss kickbacks with others and start bargaining like a slut. She felt a sense of sadness and indignation in her heart. When she did this,
She wanted to give Li Hui a small punishment to balance the previous hurt in her heart. She didn't care about money, but forcing money out of Li Hui's hands gave her a satisfying sense of revenge.
Li Hui laughed and said loudly: "Okay, two jobs, two jobs, then it's a deal. But I have a request."
Xie Daoyun said angrily: "What else do you want to ask for?"
Li Hui smiled and said: "Can... can you pay a deposit of five hundred thousand yuan in advance? After all, the Xie Mansion needs two hundred soaps this month, and I don't have the capital to make that much. Miss Xie has to make a reservation first."
Xie Daoyun's mind was confused for a while. This person was actually a white wolf with nothing, which really made people even more angry. After taking a few breaths, Xie Daoyun gritted his silver teeth and said: "I will order someone to send him to you later. You can leave now."
"
…
In mid-April, the soap factory located on the outskirts of Dongchanggan restarted and immediately entered full capacity operation.
Xie Daoyun did not break his promise. That night, Li Hui received two large boxes of copper coins from the Xie Mansion, a total of five hundred thousand coins. Even though the five baht coins were as thin as a piece of paper, five hundred thousand coins was still a huge amount.
, it had to be pulled over by horse-drawn carriage.
Li Hui didn't delay at all, and immediately divided the work the next day and started the soap making business.
Early the next morning, Li Hui went to Donglimen Public House and sealed a big red envelope for each of Gongfang's subordinates. When the heavy money bags were placed in front of several people in Gongfang, Li Hui only made one request, that is, from today on,
He may not be able to come to Dongli Gate on time because of personal matters. Li Hui hopes that in the next period of time, everyone in the public house can take responsibility and not talk too much about this matter.
Of course, the people below are not talkative, mainly the two old officials Fu Heng and Zhang Jin. These two are older, sleep less, and have already been unable to do some entertainment activities, so when Li Hui took office
During this period of time, I found that they arrived early every day and returned late every day, so they considered the public house as their home.
There will be no mistakes if the matter is left to them. They are afraid that the old people will talk nonsense. So Li Hui can only spend money to solve the problem. When the ten thousand yuan purse was placed in front of him, Fu Heng and Zhang Jin immediately expressed their stance.
Since Mr. Chengmen Lang has unfinished business, he should take care of it. Don’t worry about leaving the affairs of Donglimen to them.
Originally, the city gatekeeper was just an idle errand, and it made no difference whether Li Hui was there or not. When he was here every day, didn't he practice calligraphy and study in the public house? When the superior officer was here, people below him felt uncomfortable if they wanted to be lazy. Therefore, after the public house got money, they could
Of course I have nothing to say to Shu Tan.
Li Hui found Hou Youliang, the captain of the school at Donglimen City, and gave Hou Youliang a bigger red envelope. He kicked the red envelope worth 20,000 yuan into Hou Youliang's arms, telling Hou Youliang not to say anything.
Hou Youliang wouldn't meddle in other people's business, and the city gatekeeper was Xie Xuan's friend, so he wouldn't offend him. What's more, Li Hui understands the ways of the world, so what else is there to say.
In this way, after spending 50,000 yuan, Li Hui settled the matter at Donglimen, paving the way for him to skip work at any time. Because once the soap making workshop is fully operational, he must provide on-site guidance and fully control every step.
Apart from myself, there is no one around me who can help me.
Ah Zhu is indeed studying very hard, and Li Hui also wants to teach her. There is no need to tell her the principles and details of chemical reactions, just let her know the steps and processes, and control every key data. But in a short period of time,
Ah Zhu is still difficult to master, so she must be taught by him for a period of time. Therefore, during this period of time, he must learn it by himself.
Furthermore, this time Li Hui knew that it was a decisive moment for making money. After Xie Daoyun agreed, Li Hui was not worried about the sales of soap at all. The talented girl from the Jin Dynasty came forward and did not have to shout hard. She only needed to reveal what she was using to bathe and shampoo.
Then there will definitely be a large number of people taking the initiative to follow suit.
In no era is the celebrity effect more obvious than that of the Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, on the one hand, orders will come pouring in. On the other hand, the high-end market will soon be occupied. In this case, Li Hui cannot be careless. He must ensure the quality of the soap and there must be no quality problems. At the same time, he must pay close attention to
Take advantage of this opportunity and make a fortune before others react.
The dividends from this first wave of products must be abundant, because the secret of soap making cannot be kept secret for a long time and will definitely be leaked. This is not a difficult process, and the materials are not difficult to find. Dajin
There are so many alchemists in the dynasty, and they will surely understand the secrets quickly.
Once the secrets of soap making are leaked out or discovered by alchemists, soap will become a popular commodity. Then there will be no hope of making huge profits. The information gap will no longer exist.
Therefore, before that, he must cut the IQ tax of this group of people to the extreme. Li Hui has already thought clearly. This time he decided to make a branch of soap, classify it for specialized groups, and add gimmicks to earn more
Much profit.
It's very simple. Different soaps are provided for different groups of people. For example, the soap for women is scented with flowers and named like Luoshen to give people the illusion of Luoshen taking a bath. The soap for men is scented with sandalwood.
The spices should be given names such as celebrity soap. It caters to men’s preferences for fragrance and can also satisfy the psychology of wealthy people who dream of celebrities. Using celebrity soap is somewhat related to celebrities.
Furthermore, in view of the popular use of Wushisan among wealthy families in Da Jin, we have specifically withdrawn from mint soap. Mint is refreshing and can relieve the body feeling of hotness after taking medicine. This will definitely be attractive to drug addicts.
Powerful.
Li Hui has even found something like mint, which is called smilax these days. It is a common dish, usually eaten with soup. Because it is common, the cost is low, so the raw materials are not a problem. The only thing that needs to be solved is the added flavor.
Just as appropriate.
In addition, Li Hui wants to make sulfur soap for patients with itchy skin. He also wants to make various herbal soaps with the name of strengthening the body and so on.
These are all powerful ways to harvest IQ tax. Li Hui believes that some people will pay a higher price than ordinary soap to buy it. As long as the publicity is in place. As for the effect, whether it can strengthen the body and whether it can be stopped
Itchy skin, etc. are not within the scope of Li Hui's consideration.
Anyway, bathing with soap will not kill people, and the experiences are different. The most important thing is deception... It should be called packaging and gimmicks. The nobles of the Jin Dynasty even took poisons like Wu Shi Powder with great pleasure, and they still
Spending a lot of money to buy or even raise alchemists to refine it can be said to be a typical example of people who are stupid and have too much money. Therefore, Li Hui did not feel any psychological guilt or burden.
For two or three days in a row, Li Hui and everyone in his family were busy preparing materials. As usual, Li Hui took people to dig out soda ash in Fuzhoushan caves. Jiang Sheng took people to the market to purchase quicklime and returned to the workshop courtyard to prepare lime.
Water. Purchase a large amount of rapeseed oil raw materials for later use.
This time, A-Zhu took her maid to the Chinese medicine shop and spice shop in the city to buy sulfur powder and some spices, as well as rouge powder, rose powder and other items. Originally, A-Zhu was thinking of using flower juice and trying to pick flowers all over the capital without spending money. But Li
Hui thought that would take too much time, so it would be better to spend more money and purchase it directly.
The various dried flower petal powders in the rouge shop can perfectly enhance the fragrance and color, so there is no need to go to the whole city to pick flowers.
In addition, Li Hui also prepared more auxiliary utensils, ordered wooden boxes for soap packaging in the carpentry workshop in advance, purchased colored paper, and carved multiple seals. These preparations alone took three days.
time.
There is an episode in this. When Li Hui went to Fuzhoushan to dig lime alkali, he originally wanted to visit Taoist Ge Yuan and bring him some wine, meat and food. By the way, he asked if there was any progress in the preparation of gunpowder.
.
It turned out that Ge Yuan was not in the hut in Taohuashan Col at all. There was a layer of spider webs in the corners of the corridor. It seemed that he had not returned home for many days. Li Hui was very worried that Ge Yuan had escaped, so he did not go to the backyard to check.
I found that Ge Yuan's treasured mineral materials were all there, and they were all available and neatly arranged. It didn't look like he had run away, but rather like he had gone out for a wander. This really made Li Hui feel relieved.
.
Ge Yuan can't let him run away. After making a lot of money from making this batch of soap, he must arrange to repair his house, purchase refining equipment for him, and arrange a few apprentices as helpers. He must keep a close eye on him...
