When Li Zhi said the goods were available, Xu Mince's face lit up with joy. Looking at Cui Wending, he laughed happily.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhi added: "If we have 200,000 pieces of soap per month, each piece of soap will cost 18 cents!"
Xu Mince said: "If Mr. Li is cheaper, I will buy it for 200,000 yuan!"
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "Mr. Xu doesn't know that the more soap is produced, the higher the cost will be. Once more is produced, the supply of raw materials will be difficult, and the purchase cost of various materials will rise."
Xu Mince looked at Cui Wending, and Cui Wending said: "Li Zhi, please give me some more profits. Mr. Xu, this is a big deal, and your profits will not be small!"
Now that the reputation of soap has been established, there is an endless stream of people coming to buy it, and the supply exceeds demand. Li Zhi is not prepared to lower the price anymore. After taking a look at Xu Mince, Li Zhi insisted on the price.
"Eighteen cents a piece, even half a cent is necessary! My store sells it for twenty cents a piece, and people are rushing to buy it. It only happens when the supply exceeds demand."
Hearing this, Xu Mince and Cui Wending looked at each other.
After a while, Xu Mince said: "Forget it, eighteen cents is eighteen cents. I do this business mainly because I want to make friends with Mr. Li."
Make a friend? Do you want to buy more soap? Xu Mince’s business is huge! Li Zhi thought to himself and re-estimated Xu Mince’s net worth.
Smiling, Li Zhi said slowly: "Master Xu is very fond of me! If we talk about making friends, it is Li Zhi who is eager to make friends with Master Xu."
Xu Mince laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "Master Li is an interesting person, and this friend Xu is a sure friend!"
Xu Mince was quite bold. After saying this, he stopped talking about soap and started chatting all over the world again, talking about the business affairs in the north and south of the country. Seeing how generous Li Zhi was, he decided to do it.
He got an audience and listened to his chatter.
When Xu Mince talked about business, every time he mentioned a businessman, he would comment on the businessman's backing. This attracted Li Zhi's attention. Li Zhi secretly thought, maybe businessmen in the Ming Dynasty must pay attention to their backing when doing business. Then he himself
Alone, where can I find someone to support me?
After chatting for half an hour, Xu Mince shut up the conversation. After chatting for a long time, he and Li Zhi got a lot closer, and they were really new friends. He made an appointment with Li Zhi for twenty
The sale of 10,000 pieces of soap was told that half of the payment would be delivered the next day as a deposit, and then he left.
After walking out of the Li family yard, Cui Wending stood on the horizontal street and asked Xu Mince: "Boss Xu, how is this Li Zhi?"
"He is a smart man. No wonder he can create something as good as soap. This soap is so ingenious that it has endless benefits. It will surely flourish all over the country in the future and its value is immeasurable."
Although Li Zhi repeatedly emphasized that the key steps of soap are made in Jiangnan, who is Xu Mince? He is an old Jianghu with a sharp eye. After chatting with Li Zhi for so long, he has already seen through the truth and understands that the soap is Li Zhi’s own product.
.
Cui Wending looked at Xu Mince and asked, "Did Mr. Xu want to take Li Zhi's formula and make his own soap?"
Xu Mince smiled and said calmly: "Although it is easy to seize people's property, it is not my style, and it will not be good for my uncle if word spreads. There is room for improvement in my uncle's career in the future!" After a pause, Xu Mince said
: "Jiangnan is rich. This soap can be sold for at least twenty-five cents a piece, and I will make a profit of seven cents. If he sells all the main goods to me in the future, the profit will be very considerable."
"So, to do the opposite, I want to help this little friend Li rise to great heights. Such adult beauty is just in line with my temperament!"
Cui Wending laughed loudly, raised his hands and said, "Boss Xu is so righteous! He is so righteous! Cui Wending admires him!"
The next day, Xu Mince actually sent the deposit. Half of the total payment, a total of 1,800 taels of silver, packed in several large boxes. Everyone in the Li family was dumbfounded by so much money. Li Zhi was afraid of money.
It is more likely to attract thieves. Leave a few single relatives at home at night to prevent thieves.
With this money, Li Zhi will expand the production scale of the soap factory.
First of all, Li Zhi needs a big house. Although the Li family yard is quite large, it is now occupied by workshops, and new space will definitely be needed to expand production.
Li Zhi went to Yaren Street and found "Fang Ya" who was in the real estate agency business and asked him to help find an empty mansion.
The fan Li Zhi found was called Liu Shigui, a thin middle-aged man. When he saw Li Zhi in the dental shop, Liu Shigui asked slowly: "How big a house does Mr. Li want to buy?"
At this time, Li Zhi was wearing a new suit of satin clothes, and with the spirit of his booming career, his temperament was very different. Facing Li Zhi as a customer, Fang Ya also addressed him as "Young Master".
"It needs a big house with more than 20 rooms, and it's cheap."
Liu Shigui nodded and said: "Master Li wants more than 20 houses, and there must be at least three yards of the house. If you want a cheaper price, look for an older house."
After saying that, he sat behind the desk, opened an old book, and started searching page by page in the book.
After a while, he raised his head and asked: "There is a house in the Lacquer Alley in the north of the city. It has five south rooms, eight wing rooms, two main rooms, and four side rooms. The price is one white and ninety taels. Do you agree with it, sir?"
Li Zhi did the math and found that there were only nineteen rooms. He shook his head and said, "It's too small!"
That Fang Ya continued to check, and after a while he said: "There is a courtyard with three entrances in the west of the city. It was built ten years ago. It has twelve wing rooms, seven south rooms, two main rooms, and four side rooms. The price is
Two hundred and ninety taels."
Li Zhi shook his head again and said: "It's too expensive. You can help me find a cheaper one. It doesn't hurt if it's older."
Li Zhi bought a house to use as a factory, as long as it can be used, but he doesn't need a new house.
"Master, I want something cheap." After Fang Ya knew what Li Zhi wanted, he opened the book again and searched for it for a long time. Then he slapped the desk and said, "Yes, Master, there is a cheap one here." He took the book.
Raising it in front of Li Zhi, Fang Ya said: "The courtyard of Sanjin in Mi Alley in the south of the city has been used for thirty years and is very dilapidated. There are twelve wing rooms, seven south rooms, four wing rooms, and two main rooms. A total of
Twenty-five houses only cost one hundred and eighty taels."
Although Fang Ya's booklet was written in traditional Chinese, Li Zhi could understand it. After looking at the record, Li Zhi smiled and said, "Then let's go to Mi Xiangzi and have a look."
"We're going now!"
Fang Ya took Li Zhi through the streets and alleys to Mi Alley in the south of the city. As its name suggests, Na Mi Alley is full of shops selling grain. Fang Ya walked to the door of a dilapidated big house with two facades.
He walked forward and patted the courtyard door hard.
