Chapter 71: Expansion of Sales Channels (Second Update, Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendations)

Maybe we should have a library.

Otherwise, there won't be so many books at home.

On the way back from Sanshan Street, sitting on the manpower "BMW", although there were some bumps, Shi Yiwen's heart was still thinking about the library.

Where do you set up a library?

Is it appropriate to run a library in this era?

What if you put those books in space?

Thinking about the release of the book, Shi Yiwen just got home, and heard the old Song Tou say that the director of the soap factory, Mr. Li, was waiting at home with a person.

Seeing that Shi Yiwen was back, Li Mingdong hurriedly got up from the chair and greeted him.

"I've seen Childe, what are you...... Bought a book? ”

Looking at the book that Shi Yiwen was carrying, Li Mingdong asked.

"If you have nothing to do, buy a few books to read."

Shi Yiwen snorted and looked at the other person at the same time and asked.

"Who is this?"

Li Mingdong hurriedly pointed to the middle-aged man who had already stood up and said.

"The owner, this is the owner of Yangzhou Fuguang Bank, Chen Fangshi, Master Chen. Today I came to meet the owner! ”

Chen Fangshi, who was wearing a Confucian shirt, had already come over and introduced himself.

"The contemptible Chen Fangshi has seen Shi Gongzi, although it is the first time he has met Gongzi, but Gongzi's name has already been thunderous, and it is really late to see each other!"

Chen Fangshi's words were quite flattering to Shi Yiwen, and he would definitely call him a son. Although he is now looking at his age, he has only just begun to grow his hair, and it stands to reason that he should be the first to see him.

Shi Yiwen waved his hand and saluted.

"Master Chen is polite, please take a seat."

After sitting down again, Chen Fangshi said again.

"It's just a small courtesy, but it's not a respect."

After saying this, the servant beside Chen Fangshi handed over a gift list.

There are many rules and etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, and now Shi Yiwen knows that visiting a stranger's house is to prepare a gift. Whether it's a gift or a gift that's easy to hold, keep a gift list that lists the gifts you're giving. These things are resting in the concierge.

Although this was Shi Yiwen's first time receiving the gift list, after Xiao Lian took Chen Fangshi's gift list and put it on the table, he didn't even look at it.

This gift list cannot be seen, just like the red envelopes sealed by others in later generations cannot be opened.

Seeing that Chen Fangshi was so polite, Shi Yiwen also put on a smile on his face.

"Master Chen is really too polite, the hospitality at home is not good, please forgive Master Chen."

After being polite again, no one mentioned the right thing, but chatted all over the world, in this regard, Shi Yiwen is not surprised, people in this era do things, most of them are like this, if they don't talk for half an hour first, they won't mention the right thing.

The topic of the chat is easy to find, since Chen Fangshi is from Yangzhou, Shi Yiwen naturally mentioned Yangzhou, although he has never been to Yangzhou, but he has some understanding of it.

"Listening to Master Chen's voice, it doesn't seem to be a Yangzhou accent."

"The son has a good ear, the contemptible native of Shanxi, at the age of thirteen he went to Yangzhou with his relatives to engage in business, although he has lived in Yangzhou for 30 years, but this native voice has not changed much."

"Oh, Shanxi, that's a good place, it's next to Beizhili in Taihang Mountain......"

After chatting like this for almost half an hour, after two pots of tea, Chen Fangshi finally got back to the topic and spoke.

"Childe, I don't know yet, even in Yangzhou, unity soap is also a best-seller, since two months ago, soap into Yangzhou, the contemptible Fu Guangxing has been selling soap, this time to Nanjing, one is to meet Childe, this two, or want to talk about business with Childe?"

Finally got to the point.

Hearing Chen Fangshi say this, Shi Yiwen said with a smile.

"The soap can sell well in Yangzhou, all thanks to Mr. Chen, speaking of which, the future generations still have to thank Mr. Chen. I don't know what business Mr. Chen wants to talk about? ”

Because he didn't know the intention of this Chen Fangshi, Shi Yiwen seemed a little polite.

"That's the case, Shi Gongzi, I heard from Director Li that Gongzi's soap factory has now made soap, which has all kinds of fragrances, and after washing your hands, you also have a lingering fragrance?"

"It's true that soap has just been put into production, and there are only three scents at present, and other scents will be developed in the future."

It's not that Shi Yiwen doesn't develop other fragrances, it's because the essential oils that add fragrance to soap are only three large amounts: sandalwood, jasmine, and osmanthus, so naturally there are only these three fragrances.

"That couldn't be better!"

Chen Fangshi said seriously.

"Childe, the contemptible people came to visit Childe because they wanted to buy soap. I don't know what Childe thinks? ”

"Oh, that's right!"

It turned out that it was for this, Shi Yiwen laughed.

"Since Hou Sheng opened a soap factory just to do business, Master Chen wants to buy soap, how can there be any reason not to sell it, just talk to Director Li about this!"

"Master Li can't do the master."

Chen Fangshi said with a smile.

"Because I want a lot of money, only Childe can call the shots!"

How much?

Shi Yiwen asked directly:

"I don't know how much Master Chen wants to buy?"

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Fangshi said.

"I buy 5,000 boxes, 5,000 boxes a month!"

Chen Fangshi's words made Shi Yiwen take a breath.

5,000 boxes!

That's a lot!

Although soap is not a big box of 100 yuan a box of soap, there are 60 yuan in a box, and 5,000 boxes are 300,000 yuan!

That's not a small number.

Although the United Soap Factory has been expanded several times, it can now make 30,000 pieces of soap and 20,000 pieces of soap every day, which is about 10,000 boxes a month, and he buys half of it, how can he not surprise Shi Yiwen?

It seems that this soap factory is going to expand its production scale.

I just don't know if the essential oil can be supplied. But no problem, you can buy fragrance essential oils from other places.

After thinking about it, Shi Yiwen replied.

"Five thousand boxes...... It's a little more, but it's not impossible. ”

Seeing that Shi Yiwen agreed, Chen Fangshi's face showed joy and smiled happily.

"Shi Gongzi is refreshing, but the price is ......"

"Twenty Wen!"

After thinking about it in his heart, Shi Yiwen said again.

"Twenty wen a piece of soap, it is the general price, this is indispensable, a box is only 1200 wen!"

"Please ask Childe to be cheaper."

Chen Fangshi bargained.

"After all, I'm going to ship to Yangzhou, and I'm going to order five thousand boxes at a time, if Gongzi can be cheaper, I can order six months' worth of goods first!" And pay a deposit of 5% at a time. ”

What a generous shot!

Fifty percent of the order is more than 10,000 taels of silver.

Despite the surprise in his heart, Shi Yiwen still shook his head and said.

"Mr. Chen didn't know that this soap is different from soap, and it is quite complicated to produce, so the cost is extremely high. If it weren't for the purpose of opening up the market and opening up sales, these 20 articles would never work, that is, in the past few months, after the sales channel is opened, the price will still increase. To be honest, 20 texts is at most a small profit. ”

This is of course a fake!

In fact, it is not more expensive than soap, and essential oils are almost given away for free, and even the cost of soap now can reach more than 500% of the windfall profits because of the low cost of cottonseed oil.

Of course Chen Fangshi didn't know all this, Li Mingdong on the side looked at the owner and said openly.

"Master Chen, to be honest, if it weren't for the son's spit, I would never agree to these 50 million boxes, after all, you are not the only one who wants soap now!"

As soon as he said this, Chen Fangshi thought about it for a while, as if he had made up his mind.

"Okay, that's the price, but I need an extra 5,000 boxes of soap......"

Staring at Shi Yiwen, Chen Fangshi said.

"These are 5,000 boxes per month, and Childe must guarantee that the goods will be supplied!"
