Chapter 19 The Way to Make Money
In other words, Huang Xu gave his suggestions to Lu Bohe, and explained that this is the only way to solve the current financial problems, and Lu Bo must be asked to consider it. Lu Bo was skeptical after hearing this, he didn't know if this method would work, although it was contrary to common sense, but it was not completely unreasonable, and after thinking about it, there was no more way, so he reluctantly agreed to give it a try, and instructed Huang Xu to take full responsibility for this matter, in addition, he also asked Yu Zhendong to help. Yu Zhendong did not shirk either, because this matter also had a lot to do with him, the logistics director.
So, after the reception banquet that night, Huang Xu began to handle the matter. He first asked Yu Zhendong to go to the foreign company in Tianjing City to purchase some raw materials, these things, some time ago he had asked people to inquire, some foreign companies can buy, let's first take a look at what Huang Xu's procurement list is listed in some things: friction agent, adhesive, sugar, flavor, hose, imported pig bristles, imported beef bones, bleach, etc., he originally wanted some polystyrene, nylon yarn or something, but thinking that this era may not have it, he can only give up. In addition, he also asked Yu Zhendong to prepare some tools for cutting, drilling, chiseling, sharpening, grinding, polishing, lettering, coloring, drying, and some utensils and utensils for holding and mixing products. As soon as everything is ready, he can implement his first step.
Looking at the list of these raw materials, we should probably know what Huang Xu is going to do, yes, he wants to start producing high-end toothbrushes and toothpaste that have never been seen in this era, and then sell them to the right people in the right places, so as to achieve the purpose of making money, on the one hand, to solve the financial difficulties of the current forbidden army, on the other hand, to make a fortune for himself. The first and most important step now is to complete the production of toothbrushes and toothpaste.
At the same time as purchasing materials, he also asked Yu Zhendong to select some ingenious and honest and credible sergeants in the camp so that they can be used as production workers in the future, these sergeants not only need to be able to strictly abide by the secrets of production, but also need to be eye-catching and work quickly, only to meet these two points can participate in this work, Yu Zhendong did not dare to slack off, after private screening and research, Zuihou selected a hundred qualified soldiers to enter this Jihua, only claimed to the outside world, Special training of this group of outstanding soldiers is required for a special military task.
After everything was ready, Huang Xu needed to provide the necessary pre-job training to these soldiers so that they could understand the relevant production process and the essentials of production. First of all, Huang Xu asked Yu Zhendong to gather these people and drive them to a hidden place where Haode was prepared in advance, this place was only known to Huang Xu, Yu Zhendong and Lu Bo, and then Huang Xu distributed the production process of Haode in advance to them, and equipped them with some pictures of his self-painting, trying to make the whole process more vivid and vivid.
The following is the relevant training materials for the production essentials and production process prepared by Huang Xu for everyone, and we can also refer to it in detail.
*******************************
One. Toothbrush Making:
1. The toothbrush production process is divided into: blanking - > modeling - > bleaching - > drilling hole - > piercing hair - > polishing - > lettering - > coloring - > drying - > production is completed.
2. The essentials of production: each process has higher requirements, the operation must be skilled, and the comprehensive quality of the operator is required
3. Detailed operation steps:
Blanking: Cattle bones are sawn into sheets.
Shaping: Determine the length of the brush handle according to the blanking, and then make various brush handles by chiseling, sharpening and grinding.
Bleaching: Soak the shaped bone stem with bleach and bleach.
Drill hole: Use a drill to drill the brush handle slot.
Piercing: The treated bristles are inserted into the eyes by hand, with an equal number of hairs per eye, which is difficult and accurate.
Polishing: Use a homemade cloth plate for handle polishing, and the finish should not be too old.
Lettering: that is, marking some calligraphy and painting for decoration at the brush handle.
Coloring: According to the requirements of beauty and beauty, the words (patterns) are painted in different colors.
Drying: Use a bamboo splint to clamp each row of bristles and dry them at high temperature to make the hairs neat.
One. Toothpaste Making:
1. The toothpaste production process is divided into: water release - > add adhesive - > dissolve sugar, flavor in water - > stir evenly - > complete the preliminary production of colloids - > placement - > add friction agent - > stir again - > complete zuihou's toothpaste - >Packing with a hose - > is completed.
2. The essentials of toothpaste making: the whole production process has high requirements for the operation feel of the production personnel, and needs to be very familiar with the ingredient ratio of each raw material.
3. Detailed operation method:
Put the water into the basin, then add the adhesive to mix thoroughly, then dissolve the sugar, flavor, etc. in the water, and then stir evenly, stir vigorously, until these raw materials are mixed and expand into a uniform colloid, after this step, these haode colloids are left in the air for a period of time, zuihou will add the friction agent to the colloids and stir fully again until it becomes the paste of zuihou toothpaste.
********************************
Through this step, Huang Xu gave all the soldiers a preliminary understanding of the production process, and they basically had a basic impression of toothpaste and toothbrush in their brains. Next, Huang Xu will personally demonstrate all the production processes on the spot.
Huang Xu first put the materials collected by Yu Zhendong one by one on the workbench prepared in advance, and then counted the relevant raw materials according to the production process to confirm that the raw materials were not missing. And then in accordance with the requirements of the process, step by step production operations, because of the previous experience of making toothbrushes for himself, Hong Zhengyan, and Xiaoqian before entering the palace, although those products are relatively crude and inferior products, but in any case, this has made Huang Xu familiar with the whole process, so at this time, it is quite proficient to do a live demonstration for these future production personnel. The on-site demonstration of toothpaste making is slightly more difficult, because it has not been done before, although before the demonstration, Huang Xu himself has been trained in private, but due to the limited time, he is not very skilled, so during the demonstration, he did it several times before he succeeded, zuihou when a beautifully made toothbrush and a few tubes of fragrant toothpaste appeared in front of everyone, everyone felt really incredible, I couldn't see that the new deputy commander still had such a ability, and admiration couldn't help but arise spontaneously.
And when Lu Bo and Yu Zhendong were also excited after seeing these two things, the initial doubts were also swept away, with these two things, coupled with the beautiful vision that Huang Xu stated to them, they seemed to have seen a lot of silver tickets in their hands, and the anxiety and worry of these days have completely disappeared.
Under the on-site supervision of Huang Xu and Yu Zhendong, and under the tireless work of the sergeants day and night, 1,000 toothbrushes and 1,000 tubes of toothpaste have been officially completed. Although the tools are not advanced enough, the enthusiasm of the soldiers is very high, so the production process is very smooth, which also makes Huang Xu truly understand what is the truth that as long as the work is deep, the iron rod is sharpened into a needle.
However, we can't help but ask, weishenme only produces a thousand sets, in fact, the reason is very simple, Huang Xu still has a backhand, he has a larger jihua, and this thousand sets of products is just a beginning, he wants to develop the next step according to the sales of this thousand sets of products jihua, he hopes to develop more varieties on this basis, such as environmentally friendly toothbrushes, fluoride toothpaste, etc., so as to expand these products to one series after another, In order to meet the needs of guests at different levels, Zuihou Huang Xu's dream is to become a veritable toothbrush and toothpaste king in this era, to promote oral civilization forward, and at the same time to let those high-nosed, blue-eyed foreign horses take a look, Lao Tzu's Chinese invention can be much earlier than them, much more. By the way, if he has the opportunity, he also wants to sell these products abroad and make money from these foreigners, hehe, you Eight-Nation Alliance, you use strong ships and cannons to invade my Chinese territory, then Lao Tzu can't say that he will use this simple toothbrush and toothpaste to rule your mouth and make your money.
Huang Xu feels energetic when he thinks about it, but the top priority at the moment is to do a good job in the sales of these thousand sets of products, and this matter must be discussed with Lu Bo first, because after all, this is his territory.
"Brother Lu, how about it, brother's idea, it's okay." Walking into Lu Bo's Chinese army tent, Huang Xu said confidently.
"Huh... Ha....brother's idea is indeed wonderful, what is it called, yes, there is no ancient, there is no one after, I have lived most of my life, I have fought for half my life, I have seen many strange things, but everything is not as new as these two things that my brother did, it really opened my eyes, there is really you. Lu Bo's mood looks really good, frankly speaking, not only is it good, it is simply good, in this way, all the financial resources of the Heavenly King Palace Forbidden Army can be solved, how can you make him unhappy, "By the way, Brother Huang, have you thought about the corresponding jihua, how to sell this thing?" Lubo was worried again, this thing is good, but someone must also know the goods.
"Big brother praises. Big brother, please rest assured, the younger brother has already thought about it. Huang Xu was not worried at all.
"Then do we need to continue production later?" Lubo asked with concern.
"For the time being, we are in the barracks, if it is too obvious, it may make people blush, if a bad one reaches the ears of the king of heaven, it is a big deal, so, we must do it in secret, I have thought about it, this first batch of products, we are produced in the barracks, but from the second batch, we may need to find another place, one can hide people's eyes, and the other can reduce the impact." Huang Xu said his thoughts. "In addition, regarding the sales of this first batch of 1,000 sets of products, I am ready to take the high-end route, that is, to sell directly in this central imperial city, not only the Tianwang Palace, but also the East Wangfu, the West Wangfu, the Yiwang Mansion, the Tianji Prime Minister's Mansion, etc., as long as it is the royal family and clansmen in this imperial city, dignitaries and dignitaries are our sales targets."
"Brother, this method is good, but how can we let these people buy our products, you may also know that the places where these people live are often deep courtyards, and it is difficult to see them in normal times, let alone say that it is difficult to sell things to them, difficult, difficult..."
"I'm not going to sell it, I'm going to let them do it themselves." Huang Xu can be described as full of confidence.
"Brother, you're dreaming." Lu Bo couldn't help but touch Huang Xu's head.
"Big brother, just wait and see, I will do what I say."
"Since you are full of confidence, then I won't say anything, if you still need to say anything, just say it, I'll let people do it."
"It's nothing special, just a few close sergeants will need help to maintain order and move the products." Huang Xu thought about it and said.
"Little things, I'll go back and inform Zhendong, you just go to him directly." Lubau thought it was a big deal, just a small thing.
After speaking, the two chatted for a while, and then, Huang Xu excused himself to prepare for the sale, and then withdrew.
In fact, Huang Xu's core jihua is to open a product promotion meeting, he has mentioned it to Hong Zhengyan before, Hong Zhengyan has also expressed his support, and now he is ready to put this small product introduction meeting in Hong Zhengyan's palace, so as to promote these products in a small circle in the palace, and then this small group of people will spread the good news, so that you pass me, I pass you, one pass ten, ten pass hundreds, hundreds pass thousands, As long as most of the dignitaries in this palace say yes, then everyone compares together, and they will treat things as treasures if they don't haode, which should be human nature, not to mention that their products are indeed unique and good.
As for the price of the product, this question, he didn't tell Lu Bo directly just now, he Huang Xu is not a fool, of course he is to make a fortune first, he will finish it first, and the rest will be their turn, but even some leftovers are enough for them to solve the current predicament, and they laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. Huang Xu's initial intended sales price is:
1 toothbrush: 10 taels of silver
1 toothpaste: 100 taels of silver
Then the price will increase depending on the situation, and he has not considered the situation of selling at a reduced price, because this situation will not appear. And what is the concept of price reversal proposed by Huang Xu, let's put it this way, based on the total family expenses of an ordinary person at that time, these money can cost them several lifetimes.
Is this expensive? In Huang Xu's opinion, it is not high, this is already low, if he wants to be more ruthless, the price will be a hundred taels of gold. It's really ruthless, but it can't be helped, who calls their products good.
Huang Xu couldn't help but think of Hong Zhengyan, and the reason why he dared to have the idea of selling these new things was entirely because of his relationship with Hong Zhengyan, and it was precisely with this relationship that those things that seemed impossible to others to, he would do it smoothly, thinking of Hong Zhengyan, he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, Yan'er, are you okay? Although he hasn't seen him for a few days, it seems to be like every other three autumns, which is called worrying about his stomach, but when he turned his head and thought of the possible ending between himself and Yan'er, he was sad again, alas, everything is as fate would have it.
In a moment, he put away this child's mentality, and the biggest thing now is how to sell his products, so what he urgently needs to do now is to meet Hong Zhengyan as soon as possible, tell her his thoughts, get her support, and let her cooperate with him to hold this new product introduction meeting in her palace, and through her network, invite those high-ranking and dignitary wives to the palace to attend the meeting, as long as they come, he will not worry about these people not being hooked.
After planning these, he selected several sets of samples he carefully made for display when the time came, and in addition, he also packed a set of love toothbrushes and toothpaste that he had painstakingly created, and prepared to take them to the palace, which was of course ready to be given to Hong Zhengyan. Then, he explained the situation to Lu Bo, only saying that he needed to go to the palace to see Princess Ruorou, and Lu Bo of course everything was right. So, Huang Xu left the camp gate and went straight to the direction of Hong Zhengyan's dormitory.
