Chapter 355: Cooperation

On the way, passing by a salt pan under construction, Zhu Zhirong saw many workers smearing a layer of earth-like things on the ground, and asked curiously: "Sister Wan'er, what are those workers doing?" Why don't these places release sea water to dry salt? ”

Zhao Wan'er glanced at what the workers were doing and explained: "They are leveling the ground with cement, this is the last salt pond, and the sea salt is dried from here, so the salt pans must be leveled and clean." ”

Zhu Zhirong's eyes lit up, she walked forward quickly, looked curiously at the cement that the workers were mixing, and said curiously: "It turns out that this is cement, which is really eye-opening." What is the main function of this cement? ”

Zhao Wan'er said: "In fact, the biggest role of cement is similar to an adhesive, which can make different stones and sand perfectly bonded together and unbreakable. It is best used in construction and can save a lot of time and effort. ”

In particular, reinforced concrete is added, which is extremely strong. It's just that iron is very precious these days, let alone steel bars, where is anyone willing to use steel bars to build houses? It was a very luxurious thing, like using gold to lay the floor.

When Zhao Wan'er said this, Zhu Zhirong's eyes were even hotter, but unfortunately others didn't sell it to her, and she was helpless.

When I entered the warehouse, I found that it was full of white and yellowish coarse salt, each of which was coarser than the sand in the mountains, and there was not much fine salt like the fine sand on the beach, let alone the refined salt like snow.

Zhu Zhirong grabbed a handful of coarse salt and rubbed it in her palm for a while, picked up one or two grains and licked them in her mouth, nodded and praised: "Sister Wan'er, the coarse salt you boiled is not much different from other places, but the taste is much better, at least the bitterness is very light." ”

Zhao Wan'er said with a smile: "That's natural, the sea salt that comes out of the sun has been filtered through nine processes, and some impurities containing bitterness have been filtered out, and the taste will naturally be much better." ”

Zhu Zhirong put down the salt grains in her hand, rubbed her palms, shook her head and said: "It's a pity that this kind of coarse salt is useless to me, although its bitterness is reduced a lot, but coarse salt is coarse salt, and the price is not very expensive." If I were to be trafficked back from the Tokai Province, it would not be worth it. ”

Zhao Wan'er said softly, she was already prepared for this, "Sister Rong, don't worry, there are fine salt and refined salt in the back." My sister can read it before making a decision. ”

Fine salt is sea salt purified after being dissolved, filtered and evaporated by coarse salt. It is much finer than coarse salt, but it requires several fewer processes than refined salt.

Generally, the so-called refined salt sold on the market now is the refined fine salt, which is different from the bagged snowflake salt that Su Ziheng brought from the earth in his previous life.

The refined salt that Zhao Wan'er brought to sell in Nanzhou last time was the kind of snowflake salt, which was not only snow-white without a trace of impurities, but also did not taste the slightest other messy taste.

This kind of snowflake salt is still difficult to make with the current technology of Donghai Province, and even if it is barely produced, the cost is very high, and it is not cost-effective to refine it with coarse salt.

In his previous life, Su Ziheng bought several tons of such snowflake salt in the base space, but he was afraid that if he crossed over to a place where birds don't or a primitive society, if he got something to eat, he didn't even have salt, it wouldn't hurt a lot.

Now it's different, if you can produce salt in Donghai Mansion, you have to sell the salt in the base space at a high price, and salt also has an expiration date.

Su Ziheng plans to use snowflake salt to drive the price of fine salt, just imagine, the price of snowflake salt is high, and large families must only be willing to use it for themselves when they use it for cooking or other uses, and the people in the family use more coarse salt and fine salt.

If Su Ziheng comes up with super-high quality snowflake salt, then it means that the fine salt process he produces will definitely be better, and it is reasonable that the price will be higher than the market price at that time.

This time, Zhu Zhirong came for the snowflake salt, but unfortunately Su Ziheng explained to Zhao Wan'er, and the snowflake salt was only given away but not sold. Only when a thousand catties of fine salt are purchased, a catty of snowflake salt will be given.

Su Ziheng's trick can be described as very ruthless, on the surface, it seems that Xuehua Salt is not making money, but in fact, all the money is taken back from the fine salt, and he earns more.

At the same time, because of this marketing method, there are very few snowflake salts on the market, giving people the illusion that they are in short supply, so that the price of snowflake salt will be increased a lot.

Zhu Zhirong was very helpless in the face of such conditions, but fortunately, the quality of Zhao's fine salt was not weaker than that of refined salt on the market, and the price was not much different, so it was not a loss. So she agreed to Su Ziheng's conditions.

For Su Ziheng, the mid-range fine salt is driven by snowflake salt, and the price is almost comparable to the high-grade refined salt on the market.

Fine salt Su Ziheng can use this method to raise the price, but he didn't think about raising the price of coarse salt, but in order to let more people eat salt, he also plans to sell it at a slightly lower market price.

Although making money is important, there is something more important in this world than making money. Besides, Su Ziheng is not without a way to make money, there is no need to suck blood on the common people. What he wants to earn is the money of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and the money of big families.

……

……

After the two sides reached a preliminary cooperation, Su Ziheng asked Zhao Waner to recommend perfume and soap to Zhu Zhirong.

Zhu Zhirong tried it once, and immediately couldn't put it down, bathed with soap and felt refreshed, and her body also exuded a faint floral fragrance, and then smeared a little perfume, feeling as if she was in a flower.

"It's amazing!" Zhu Zhirong looked at the small piece of soap in front of her and the small bottle of perfume in the trial pack, and her eyes began to glow.

With her many years of experience in business, these two products, if promoted to the market, will definitely attract the attention of countless noble ladies, and she herself is an excellent example.

When she learned that perfume and soap were the specialties of Tokai Prefecture, she thought about how to get her hands on this agency.

But do you want soap or perfume? It's a really tangled question.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhirong found Zhao Wan'er and asked about the agency price of soap and perfume.

Zhao Wan'er asked with a smile, "Sister Rong, if you are willing to spend how much money are you willing to spend on these two things?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Zhirong hesitated for a moment, then asked hesitantly: "Sister Wan'er, are the size of these two things the same as those used by my sister last night?" It seems that the soap is not used a few times, and the number of times the perfume is used is extremely limited. If this is the case, it will be very difficult to sell it at a good price, after all, it is only a consumable. ”
