Chapter 64: The Expansion of Soap

"What's wrong with her?"

Hearing Pei Feng say that Tanchun was not good, Jia Qing was a little surprised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he didn't see any clues today, what's going on?

Pei Feng turned sideways lightly and whispered, "I heard that it seems that Aunt Zhao and Grandma Zhao are asking the third girl for silver tweed......"

"Oh?"

"I don't know the specifics, anyway, my aunt said that she lacked money to spend, and she wanted to find some from the third girl, but the third girl gave it to her, so she went to the third girl's room twice in three days to make trouble.

Second master, you say it's funny, the third girl is so old, and other parents are thinking about buying more for their own girls at this time. There is someone like her, not only does she not buy it, but she also wants to make money from here, it's really! ”

It turned out to be Aunt Zhao who hated dogs in Jiafu! Then what else can't be understood, if that person expects her to be reasonable, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky.

Maybe it's because I've seen it for a year, and the girls in the house have won a lot of rewards from Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and the little reward in the hands of Tanchun is red-eyed.

This is also the case, but there is a little reason for it, and it is from Jia Huan, that is, Tanchun's brother and Jia Zheng's concubine.

Originally, after a year, the sisters had a lot of money in their hands, so they naturally thought about sending each other some gifts to show their closeness.

Tanchun didn't forget Jia Huan, and bought him a few books and a pen holder, which also wanted Jia Huan to study well in the future. Who knew that Aunt Zhao was a shallow-eyed person, I heard that Tanchun sent either rouge or hairpins to Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and others, and then saw Jia Huan and only got such worthless things, and she was immediately angry.

In her heart, all the things of Tanchun should be given to her brother Jia Huancai, and to others is to turn her elbow outward.

She thought that it was just cheaper for outsiders anyway, so she simply asked for it herself. So she said that she had taken a fancy to a hairpin in the Treasure Pavilion, but there was still a difference of twenty taels of silver, and asked Tanchun to lend her an envoy first.

Tanchun had so much cash for her, explaining that there was no. Aunt Zhao didn't believe it, she came to the door three times to ask for no result, and she didn't have any self-cultivation, so she said all the ugly things. What ungrateful, clinging to Mrs. Climb and so on.

Leave no face at all.

This kind of injury from close relatives is unbearable for many adults, let alone a little girl who is only seven or eight years old.

But she is a strong character, and she is unwilling to show weakness in front of others. So when she was with Jia Qing and the others today, she behaved very normally, and she was afraid that Jia Qing would look down on her because of this!

However, as Daiyu said, this kind of thing is difficult for others to manage. Jia Qing just thought that if the time was right, he might as well help Tanchun.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Why do you think so much, let's sleep. ”

As he spoke, he tightened the beauty in his arms and stopped talking.

……

The next day, before dawn, Jia Qing got up.

I did sleep well last night.

After washing up and going to Jia's mother to say goodbye, he went back to his courtyard.

It didn't take long for me to hear a mother-in-law tell me that someone was looking for her outside the second gate, so she went out.

When he got out of the Hanging Flower Gate, he saw Li Yan waiting for him there.

"What's the matter?"

Li Yan bowed respectfully before saying, "Back to the second master, it's Boss Shen who is here." ”

Since Jia Qing bought that courtyard in the back street, he told Shen Congcheng not to go to Ning Guofu to look for him, just send someone there to say something.

At this time, he came, most likely to tell him about the dividend of the last quarter.

When I arrived in the courtyard of the back street, as soon as I entered the main hall, I saw Shen Congcheng sitting on a guest seat drinking tea.

"Brother Shen can send someone to give instructions if he has something, why did he come in person."

Shen Congcheng stood up with a smile and said, "Oh? Brother Fei didn't want the elder brother to come to disturb the virtuous brother's leisurely life, so he didn't wait to see the elder brother. ”

"Where is it, I just think that Brother Shen is busy with business, and he shouldn't come to me to spend time, and the younger brother should come to the door in person."

Seeing that Jia Qing's words were not revealed, he secretly praised in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Okay, let's not be polite." But I said that the virtuous brother is leisurely and has not wronged people, the old brother has been busy in the past few months, and he is still busy building workshops outside the north city during the New Year's Festival. ”

Jia Qing said in surprise: "I remember that my brother didn't build a workshop on the address of the original cloth workshop?" How did you start building outside the city so quickly? ”

Shen Congcheng said: "Alas, you don't know, brother Xian. Originally, I thought that the soap had just been sold, and the demand should not be very large. After the first batch was made, I put it in my cloth shop and sold it at the same time. I didn't make a big deal about it, but the price was set at a low point, and I planned to raise the price after I became famous.

Who knew that in less than half a month, the reputation of this soap spread all over the capital, and more people came to buy it. As a result, the cloth shop is very busy.

Seeing this, I opened three more separate stores in Kyonaka to sell a variety of soaps, and began to increase the prices. ”

Well, it seems that the listing of this soap is going well.

"And what's the price now?"

Jia Qing asked.

Shen Congcheng was obviously still a little surprised by the competitiveness of this new thing, and sighed when he heard this: "The cost of this soap is clear to the virtuous brother. Although it is more troublesome to make that caustic soda, in the end, it only takes more manpower and does not cost anything. However, now I have raised the price of the cheapest kind of soap to four taels of silver a piece, and the best kind I have even priced it at ten taels of silver a piece, but the supply still exceeds the supply!

So I had to build another workshop. It's just that I originally had three cloth workshops in Beijing, but now it's a little tight to have one less. As a last resort, I had to build a large workshop outside the city, so as not to trouble later. ”

Zizi, ten taels of silver a piece, isn't that more than silver? However, there are many rich people in this capital, and no one cares about it.

Watching Shen Congcheng say these things one by one, Jia Qing had to admit that he was impatient to do these things, and it was very complicated. He is glad that he has found a hard-working partner.

"Brother Shen doesn't have to talk to me about these business things, and my younger brother doesn't know much about them. There is only one thing I want to say, that is, after this paving, this secrecy work has become more and more difficult.

Once a second soap workshop appears in Beijing, our profits will be reduced by at least half in an instant. ”

Shen Congcheng also said with a solemn face: "It's not just half." I've long been informed that more than one company has been eyeing our business.

Fortunately, the person I was looking for in the court this time was in a very important position, and it was okay for a while. It's just that this is a secret job, and I'm sure I'll do my best to do it well.

It was really leaked, and I thought of a countermeasure.

We have already taken the first cup, as long as we do it well, the people who come after us will definitely not be able to surpass us! Moreover, the people of Kyochu have become accustomed to buying soaps from us, and I have decided to gradually abandon those low-grade soaps and focus on making better soaps. Slowly made everyone think that only my Shen's soap is the best! Everyone else is copying. ”

This ancient man is really not to be underestimated, isn't this the same principle as creating a brand effect? In this era of no property rights, this can indeed protect one's own interests to the greatest extent.

"In addition, as long as I am given another half a year, I can completely occupy the vast majority of the soap business in Beijing. When the time comes, someone will imitate it, and I will give up some low-end business for them to do at most, and eventually they will find that they can't make much money in the capital, and according to the convention, they will go to other places to do it.

And there are hundreds of cities and tens of thousands of people in Dachu, so there is a lot to do in this business. It's just that it doesn't affect us much. It will be enough for us to occupy a share of Beijing, and appropriately to Chang'an, Nanjing, etc., and no matter how much we have, we will not be able to eat. ”

Shen Cong became enlightened.

Listening to these well-founded words, he knew that Shen Congcheng had already thought about everything before and after, so he didn't have to bother himself, so he put back the original worries and asked directly: "Brother Shen came here this time?" ”
