Chapter 58: Why Not (First Update, Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
A faint fragrance and a slight alkaline smell came to the face.
The scent of soap is not pungent, but it does smell much better than regular soap.
"That's what you call soap?"
Feeling the fragrance of the soap, Shi Yiwen asked with some curiosity.
"Yes, this is the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, the soap from the Tang family also has sandalwood and several other fragrances, and now these soaps are very popular with women."
Wu Cai said as he placed a few bars of soap on the table.
In contrast, Gongzi's unity soap is heavy and has no fragrance, so they often just buy it back to do laundry, but it is the Tang family's soap, and the women buy it back to bathe and shampoo. And the Tang family's soap costs 30 yuan a piece! ”
Thirty articles!
It's a huge profit. After all, it's only half the size of soap.
I didn't expect Tang Ziqi's woman to make soap so quickly.
Picking up a piece of pale yellow soap, Shi Yiwen carefully observed it for a moment, and the more he observed this piece of soap, the more he felt that he had underestimated the ancients.
Originally, he thought that he could monopolize the production of soap, but it didn't take long for someone to successfully "pirate" and improve soap...... You really can't underestimate the ancients.
"Childe, maybe you don't know, a while ago, a few guys in Childe's factory quit their jobs, and I inquired about it, they went to the Tang family's soap factory, so I was thinking about it, maybe they took Childe's secret recipe out, Childe, are you right?"
Facing Wu Cai's rhetorical question, Shi Yiwen just smiled disappretently.
"Those guys, what they took away was just the production process, as for the recipe ......"
Put a few pieces of soap with different scents on the table, Shi Yiwen said.
"This formula was researched by the Tang family themselves, and there is still a certain difference between it and ours,"
would say this, not because of anything else, but that Tang Ziqi told him that the Tang family's soap was a recipe obtained from Western books. It's just an original recipe and it costs more.
"Bring me a basin of water, and I'll try their soap."
After instructing the servant to fetch a basin of water, Shi Yiwen washed his hands with soap.
"Sure enough......"
Seeing a tiny osmanthus petal in the water, Shi Yiwen knew how the other party added the fragrance to the soap, but it was just adding the spice directly.
"The foam of their soap is not thick or fine, compared with unity soap, it feels more delicate, there should be no process of removing glycerin, more glycerin than soap, which is more conducive to skin moisturization."
After washing the foam on his hands, Shi Yiwen sniffed the soap again, although it was fragrant, but the alkaline smell was too strong. This shows that the formula is not scientific enough, but even so, it is not easy to complete the improvement of soap in such a short time!
"Childe, aren't you angry?"
Seeing that the young master was interested in the Tang family's soap, Wu Cai was surprised.
"Does it work to be angry?"
Belch......
Wu Cai's words were forcibly held back.
"Childe, in my opinion, as long as Childe has the guarantee signed by those people when he entered the factory, he can sue the government and sue the Tang family for stealing the secret recipe for soap, and the government will definitely give us justice at that time."
The reason why Wu Cai mentioned suing the official was not because the government could solve the problem, but because he needed this opportunity to show his ability.
"If the son can be trusted, this matter can be handed over to the next operation......
"Sue the officer? Is it useful to sue the officer? ”
After asking rhetorically, Shi Yiwen shook his head and said.
"If you sue the official, you may not be able to fight a reason, and in the end, it may be a lose-lose, and the government is unreliable!"
Not to mention the sixth year of Wanli, that is, more than 300 years later, such lawsuits are often ridiculed.
"Even if you rely on a relationship and win a lawsuit, you still owe a favor over there, and this favor will always have to be repaid in the future!"
Shaking his head, Shi Yiwen looked at the bars of soap on the table, thought for a moment, and then said.
"Doing business, there will inevitably be competition, but in the final analysis, the product still relies on "no one I have, I have my fine", in fact, we and the Tang family are nothing more than these two points, at the beginning of the unity soap is popular, because there is no similar product on the market, and after the Tang family made soap, it did not stop competing with us in soap, but added essential oils, made soap, are in line with the "no one I have" method to do business, since it is a business, then don't be afraid of competition, besides, their soap, hum, It's just spiced soap! ”
Although Shi Yiwen was a little annoyed by Tang Ziqi's violation of the agreement, he was more surprised, surprised that she could complete the improvement of soap so quickly, which was indeed a little surprising.
In addition to being surprised, Shi Yiwen wanted to compete with them.
"The son's bearing is extraordinary, and he can't beat the horse!"
Wu Cai, who seemed to be complimentary, felt a bitterness in his heart, originally he wanted to show his skills by operating this matter, but he never thought that this master didn't care at all. Not reconciled, he continued.
"Childe, in fact, you don't have to worry about any favors, if you operate this matter, even if the Tang family finds the government, you can make the Tang family lose this lawsuit and pay the silver to the son, I don't know what the son thinks?"
"Oh?"
Looking at Wu Cai in front of him, looking at him with an impatient look, Shi Yiwen smiled slightly, "Da", and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, in this era, the folding fan is indeed a sharp weapon for 13, a hand-cranked paper fan, he said with a smile.
"Wu Cai, have you ever heard of mosquito coils?"
"Mosquito coils?"
Hearing these two words, Wu Cai's heart jumped violently and said tentatively.
"Childe means "invincible"? ”
"Exactly!"
Nodding and shaking the paper fan, Shi Yiwen smiled.
"That's also made by Shi!"
"Ahh
Suddenly his eyes widened, and Wu Cai's eyes were full of surprise.
"Mosquitoes and mosquito coils were actually made by Childe."
"Actually, this mosquito coil is a small thing, simple to make, easy to take materials, it seems to have a formula, but in fact there is no secret, but anyone who has a heart to see this thing, more pondering can be imitated, even if it can't be imitated really, it can also imitate a plausible thing, just like soap, this kind of thing, can't be stopped, can't be stopped, don't you say?"
"What Childe said is very true, Childe is talented, I admire it!"
When he waved his hands and saluted, Wu Cai realized that he had underestimated the person in front of him, this person looked at the young, but he had his own things in his heart, not to mention anything else, just the exquisite mind of making this thing was not comparable to ordinary people.
Looking at Wu Cai with a smile, seeing that the smugness on his face had completely disappeared, Shi Yiwen put away the paper fan, and then said.
"Wu Cai, actually, I have one thing, I want you to help me do it! If you can do it, five hundred taels? What's the matter!"
