The mother and daughter discussed it behind closed doors. After thinking about it, they felt something was wrong, so they brought Qi Yunxiao in again.
Qi Yunxiao is also a good businessman, so it is right to listen to his opinion.
The three of them looked at each other, and Shen Qingyu pushed the small piece of soap in front of Qi Yunxiao.
"Here, this is it."
Qi Yunxiao took a look at the soap and saw that he had just tried it.
To be honest, he was very shocked.
This thing is so useful.
It is said that the cost is not expensive, and it can be made with oil and lime, or other oils.
If this thing is sold to a wealthy family, that person will buy it without hesitation.
But if it is sold to ordinary people...
He looked at Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu: "How are you going to sell this thing?"
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu looked at each other, and Shen Qingyu raised her hand to signal: "Mom, you say it."
Zhao Yuzhu: "My idea is: it can be divided into three types."
"Elaborate." Shen Qingyu has always trusted Ms. Zhao Yuzhu's business intuition.
"Even if rich people use the best, they should also have the best appearance. Then try to get some fragrance or something into it, and see how the money and wealth come from it."
"Ordinary people use ordinary ones, the price is the most affordable, and they can afford it."
"What do you think?"
Qi Yunxiao nodded: "How to calculate this cost? How big are you going to do? How are you going to set the price?"
These are all core questions, and behind each question is a series of questions.
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu looked at each other and discussed in detail with Qi Yunxiao.
The profit from this thing is huge, its applicability is greater than that of sweet potato vermicelli, and its market potential is huge!
To put it bluntly, if you do it well, you can make a lot of money every day just by relying on this thing.
However, the formula and production process are not complicated, so the formula needs to be kept secret, and soap makers must be more cautious.
Qi Yunxiao thought carefully and asked: "How about we buy some people?"
Today is a famine year, human life is despised, and many wealthy families are buying people.
The sisters I bought before have all gone to work in the sweet potato flour workshop.
Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.
The education they received from childhood makes them unable to accept the "slave" class in their hearts.
But the two of us are in this era after all, and the slave system is one of the rules of this era.
From the perspective of security and confidentiality, a slave who can control life and death is naturally more secure.
Zhao Yuzhu frowned slightly: "If we are making soap, we can no longer put it in Shenjia Village. The villagers here have all planted sweet potatoes, and no one is using it, so there is no oil to make soap."
Shen Qingyu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, if you are going to make soap, it is better to leave it outside."
Then the next step is to consider whether to place it in the town or in the city.
Each city and town has its own advantages.
If you are in Fucheng, the channels for purchasing, buying, and selling various things will be smoother.
But if it is placed in Hengshui Town, Shen Qingyu can take care of both ends.
After all, horse-drawn carriages were very slow in this era. It would take a whole day to go from Shenjia Village to Fucheng, and there was no way to go both ways.
After some discussion, the three-person think tank decided to put people first and prioritize whether they could be busy.
Zhao Yuzhu chuckled: "Actually, it's okay to put it in Hengshui Town. The Qi family's boat company can connect the three prefectures. If you want to transport goods, it's also very convenient to go by water."
So it was decided that the soap workshop would be located in Hengshui Town.
The matter was settled, Zhao Yuzhu led the dragon guards to the town to find a suitable yard in all aspects, while Shen Qingyu closed the door at home and messed around with the ratio of things.
Lard is naturally a good thing, and those who are really willing to use lard all year round these days are wealthy people.
Ordinary people use rapeseed oil all year round, which is cheap.
Just grow your own rapeseed and then find an oil shop to spend some copper coins to squeeze it out.
Since you want to do business, cost must be considered first, and Shen Qingyu gave priority to rapeseed oil.
Then there is caustic soda.
Caustic soda is not easy to buy in this era, and it is easy for people to notice the formula when buying it in large quantities.
After all, Shen Qingyao asked her aunt to steal the marinade recipe before. This mistake cannot be made again.
But Shen Qingyu is not afraid.
She first used earthen methods to burn the straw into plant ashes, then hung it up with fine cotton cloth and poured water on it.
The water penetrated the plant ash, then leaked and dripped into the basin, and the color turned yellow and black.
After doing this several times, Shen Qingyu got a basin of alkaline water.
Then boil the alkaline water to dryness to obtain caustic soda.
This method did not yield much caustic soda, but Shen Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
She held the caustic soda bowl in the palm of her hand and felt the sweet prompt coming from the space mall: "Caustic soda category 1..."
Looking at the three cents and half a bowl of caustic soda in the space mall, Shen Qingyu smiled.
The most important thing is there.
Next is the question of various formulas.
If you want to go into the high-end market, soaps with various functions are essential.
What are some things that can add fragrance?
What are some things that can increase the emollient function?
What are some ways to add gimmicks and make people reluctant to miss it once they see it...
There were so many thoughts in her mind that Shen Qingyu had to write down the thoughts that came up at any time with a pen.
In this way, I really don’t have time to worry about my mother’s affairs.
The same is true for Zhao Yuzhu.
After she went to the town, the first thing she found was Yuqiao.
After all, Yuqiao is an expert when it comes to finding a yard.
Hearing that Shen Qingyu was planning to do a new business, Yuqiao was extremely excited: "Auntie, you have to tell sister Qingyu that she must take me with her!"
How can Zhao Yuzhu withstand a pregnant woman acting coquettishly?
I was afraid that she would twist her waist too hard and twist the baby off, so I immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, she can't take care of this business alone, and she won't be able to make it easy for you from now on."
Yuqiao was happy when she heard this, and led Zhao Yuzhu around to look around the yard.
Finally, the group fell in love with a yard next to a pier.
This yard used to belong to the wealthy Zhao family.
Because the dock was bustling with loading and unloading in the early morning before dawn, it was really uncomfortable to live there, so they went to build a house on the other side, which became empty.
Originally, this house was rented to the Qi family for use as a warehouse, but who would have thought that during the days when Shen Qingyao was the head of the family, he said that he could not use such a big place and asked for a rent reduction.
This is good, the Zhao family simply won’t rent it anymore.
We want to sell!
Shen Qingyao is also ruthless. After knowing that the Zhao family planned to sell the house, she waited for the price to drop.
After all, if you can afford it, you can’t afford it; if you can afford it, you can’t afford it.
Anyway, only the Qi family can afford it.
The Zhao family was not willing to sell it too cheaply, so they put the house here for a while.
Who would have thought that Shen Qingyao would be captured by Qi Yunxiao before he could find the bargain.
It's actually cheaper for Shen Qingyu and Zhao Yuzhu.
Zhao Yu's eyes were poisonous and he immediately fell in love with this house: "How much money does this house cost?"
Yuqiao grinned: "Because everyone knows that this house is too big to sell, so the Zhao family also lowered the price, saying that they are willing to sell it for one thousand taels of silver."
It has been quite a while since Zhao Yuzhu came here, and he has an account in mind.
She knew that even if the house was repaired and decorated, it would cost more than a thousand taels of silver, not to mention nearly two acres of land.
This is really a bargain.
So Zhao Yuzhu made an appointment without saying a word and went to the town hall to sign the deed in the afternoon.
When Shen Qingyu got the news, she was also shocked: Chairman Zhao Yuzhu’s efficiency is incredible!
