Chapter 843: To India
Cut lightly with scissors. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pick up the dew-stained roses and prune the excess leaves on the branches about 30 cm long.
With special scissors, clamp the branch and pull it down two or three times, and the stinging rose thorns will be removed.
Han Xuan put the Louis XIV rose in his hand into a bucket filled with water, and the petals were exposed.
The contact of the shoots with water maximizes the freshness of the petals of the Louis XIV rose.
In the afternoon, buyers come to buy them, then load them and send them to Lyon, Marseille, Perpignan, Rouen, Toulouse, Strasbourg, Paris and other big cities.
In this comfortable season, the French who are in collective heat have a huge demand for roses.
Compared with the passionate red rose, the purple petals of the Louis XIV rose are deeper, symbolizing nobility and elegance, and are the favorite rose color of French women.
Roses have a short flowering period, and these flowers are about to be picked as soon as they bloom, so time is of the essence.
More than two hundred farmers were doing the same actions as Han Xuan, and a rose was in their hands, and it could be processed in less than ten seconds.
Some Louis XIV roses, which are not good-looking, will be stored separately and used to make essential oils.
Louis XIV roses are born with a special fragrance that can captivate people, and the essential oils produced are sold at a higher price than other rose essential oils, and the whole flower is completely wasted.
The beautiful flower fields became sparse and scattered as they continued to pick.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of flowers in Provence, and without roses, sunflowers, rape flowers, and lavender will bloom one after another.
The flowers here are not only an ornamental plant, but also a source of income for many farmers in Provence to enjoy the easy life of this year, and at the same time have a good mood, they can also earn money.
The flowers that ordinary people buy are the scenery they look at.
"It's so strange, how can lavender grow so fast this year?
Growing up almost every day, I can already see the purple ......."
Han Xuan followed the gaze of the old farmer beside him, and saw the strips of lavender fields scattered all over the mountains in the distance, and he could see some scattered purple when he squinted his eyes.
It's just mid-May, and it stands to reason that it will take another month for these lavenders to bloom one after another.
Thinking about whether it was because of his arrival that these lavenders grew rapidly, Han Xuan shrunk his neck, pretended not to hear, and continued to pick roses.
Baptiste's butler was surprised: "You don't say I haven't found out yet.
Perhaps due to the high temperature this year, there have only been a few rains since spring, and it has been sunny every day, and there is plenty of sunshine.
It would be nice if only our lavender from the Luberon Mountains bloomed early, so that we could put the essential oils and dried flowers on the market before the lavender harvest in other places, so that we could sell them at a high price. ”
In Europe, the sales of lavender essential oil products can generally account for about 30% of the entire cosmetics market, in addition to making essential oils, they can also make tea, make cakes, and pillow made of dried lavender flowers at night, which can help sleep, relieve headaches and anxiety.
An acre of lavender can be sold for about $700 if only dried flowers are sold, but refined into essential oils, it can sell for about $2,200, more than tripling in value.
The year before last, Baptiste's housekeeper had also invested in a small soap factory with raw materials, so it was only last year that the Audrey estate made so much money.
Han Xuan also opened a cosmetics company now, and he needed to use lavender essential oil, so he said to Baptiste steward at this moment: "This year, the essential oil extracted from lavender and roses in our manor does not need to be sold to the outside world, after it is made, I will send someone to pick it up."
They smell very good, and I believe that they should be great when used in those cosmetics of our company. ”
Yesterday he received a call from his grandmother, an expert from the cosmetics research institute in New York, who used the plant essence of Snow Mountain Ranch to make a mask, which achieved a similar effect to milk, and had a great effect on improving human skin.
A golden avenue paved with dollars was placed in front of Han Xuan.
Excitedly called, telling Han Qianshan, his father, who was far away in the Snow Mountain Ranch in Montana, the news.
His father was also very excited, saying that if the price of the raw materials given by Han Xuan was low, he would sell those raw materials to other cosmetics companies to make money.
is clearly threatening, he is really angry with Han Xuan's own son......
Baptiste's butler still hasn't figured out how much money and property his little boss has.
I heard that this cosmetics company came out of nowhere, so I didn't ask in detail, but nodded and said, "Okay, but there is some trouble over there at the soap factory."
Our estate has signed a five-year contract with them, and if they break the contract, we need to pay them a lot of liquidated damages. ”
"It's okay, you can take Secretary Dawson in the afternoon and ask if they are willing to sell the soap factory.
I need the technology to make soap, and the factory itself doesn't matter......"
Han Xuan became a dutiful farmer.
I was busy until noon, when I stopped to eat with the farmers.
I took a nap at noon and continued to the vineyard in the afternoon to help prune the branches.
The day passed quickly, tired and his back hurt, and the mayor of Stone Town came to visit him for dinner, and Han Xuan accompanied him to drink some wine and enjoy a venison stew with potatoes.
The deer was hunted by the farmer of the manor, and he sent a few catties of the most tender loin to Han Xuan, the owner of the manor.
Not surprisingly, Secretary Dawson returned with Butler Baptiste with good news.
The other party is willing to sell its soap-making factory for the equivalent of about 2.4 million francs, and it will take little effort to buy such a small company.
It's been a few days since I arrived in Provence and learned about the Gaudé estate.
Before Han Xuan went to sleep, he received a call from India.
Several employees of Indian origin of Snow Mountain Investment Company were sent to India by him some time ago.
The reason is to invest in the construction of Hasbro's overseas factories to reduce the production cost of Hasbro's props and costumes with cheap labor in India.
They have gathered information on the cost of human resources on the ground.
Han Xuan felt that it was time to leave Provence, so he got up and knocked on the door of Isabelle opposite, and said to her, "Pack up, let's leave for India tomorrow morning." ”
"In such a hurry?"
Isabelle asked, then added, "I'll pack everything up tonight."
Next time you come to Provence, remember to call me along, I like the environment, it is very comfortable. ”
"Of course it's very comfortable, it's Provence.
You should also invest in a wine estate here, as the price of land in the vicinity will rise in a few years, and now is the best time to buy. ”
"Why did you let me buy it?
So, you're not welcome to live with you, that's it, right?!"
Isabelli asked, raising her voice.
“…… You're really thinking too much, I don't mean that at all. (To be continued.) )
