Chapter 404, Selling Soap
A female housekeeper, two stunning female slaves, twenty seventeen or eighteen-year-old female slaves, two hundred fifteen or sixteen-year-old male slaves, a total of three hundred and fifty-six amethyst coins, paid a deposit of ten amethyst coins, Wu Liang turned around and left.
Coming to the shop that sold casting tools, he ordered a complete set of tools for casting, then went to the material store and ordered some ores, iron ingots, copper ingots, etc., and then went to the grain store and ordered some grain and seeds.
He found an inn to stay overnight, and the next morning, Wu Liang went to the slave market to settle the final payment, took away two hundred and twenty-three slaves, and went to the material store, the casting tool store, and the grain store......
"There are more than 500 amethyst coins left, one amethyst coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, more than 500 amethyst coins, enough for a period of time, go back to the villa first, wait to settle down, and then think about how to make money."
With more than 200 slaves to the Half Moon Villa, after handing over with the original owner of the Villa, Kordos, Wu Liang officially took over the Half Moon Villa, and after pondering for a while, he renamed the Villa Ling Tian Villa.
"Joanna, from now on, you are the steward of Ling Tian Villa." After the two hundred and twenty-three slaves lined up, Wu Liang said indifferently.
"Yes, master." The twenty-seven-year-old beautiful housekeeper nodded respectfully.
"Dai Qiyun, Dai Qimeng, you will be my maids in the future." Wu Liang said again.
The two stunning girls nodded in response, "Yes, master." ”
"Twenty of you, for the time being, you are responsible for cooking, washing clothes, and sweeping the floor." Wu Liang said to the twenty girls.
"Yes, master." Twenty girls nodded in response.
"Stand down." Wu Liang motioned for the female slaves to leave, looked at the two hundred male slaves, and asked them to run around the villa, the fastest 100 people were tentatively designated as escorts, and the remaining 100 temporarily served as workers.
In his opinion, the income from farming is too low, and it is better to set up some factories, such as soap factories, glass factories, and steel factories, with the knowledge in his mind, enough to make any machinery and equipment, but to spend more time.
It didn't take long for grain, seeds, materials, forging tools, etc., to be sent one after another, and after settling the final payment, Wu Liang asked Joanna to arrange male slaves and move all kinds of things to put away.
After lunch, Wu Liang gathered all the slaves and passed the Dragon and Tiger Refining Technique, which is suitable for men's cultivation, to a hundred workers on the first layer, and to a hundred guards on the first three layers.
The first layer was passed on to twenty female slaves, the first two layers were passed to Dai Qiyun and Dai Qimeng, and the first three layers were passed to the housekeeper Joanna.
Let all the slaves cultivate, Wu Liang walked into the forging room and began to forge the parts of the steam engine, and it took two days for a steam engine with superior performance to be hammered out by him.
"Use the steam engine for the time being, and when you make more money, you can get a hydroelectric power station, the river outside the villa has a large drop, and there is absolutely no problem with getting a small hydroelectric power station."
A few days later, Wu Liang entered Black Rock City with ten members of the escort team and purchased two thousand catties of animal oil, one thousand catties of trona, the price of animal oil is not expensive, seven copper coins a catty, and trona is a lot more expensive, one catty requires thirty copper coins.
After buying three horned carriages, loaded with animal oil and trona, and buying limestone and other materials, he took ten guards and drove the three or two horned carriages back to Ling Tian Villa, and the road was quite peaceful, and he did not encounter any bandits.
After purifying the soda ash and obtaining the soda ash, Wu Liang called ten workers and personally instructed them to make soap, and in less than half a day, ten workers were able to make soap alone, so far, he asked ten workers to make soap.
Time passed, the strength of the two hundred and twenty-three slaves continued to increase, and the pieces of soap were completely solidified.
That morning, Wu Liang took ten guards and pulled five thousand pieces of soap in a wildebeest carriage to Black Rock City in high spirits, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
"There are more than 200 amethyst coins left, and a store will cost at least 500 amethyst coins, and there are too many troubles to open a store, so sell the soap to the trading house first, and then consider whether to buy a store when the glass is made."
Wu Liang was quite familiar with the situation in Black Rock City, and he came to Baimeng Trading House with a familiar car, and asked the guards to wait outside, he took a piece of soap and strode in.
"What are you going to buy, sir?" A fellow greeted him and asked him with a smile.
"I'll look for Joe in charge." Wu Liang said indifferently.
"Sir, wait a minute, I'll call him." The man answered, walked quickly upstairs, and a moment later, he walked down the stairs with a middle-aged man.
Josley looked at the young man in front of him, admitting that he didn't know the other party, but he still smiled and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Steward Qiao, in Xia Wuliang, I have a magical thing that I am going to sell to Baimeng Commercial Bank." After Wu Liang finished speaking, he handed over the soap in his hand.
"What is this?" Josley asked, frowning.
"This thing is called soap, which can be used for laundry, hair washing, bathing, and dishwashing, and dirty things, as long as you apply this, wash it gently, and you can wash it clean." Wu Liang said.
"Really?" Josley asked suspiciously.
"Of course, you can have people try it." Wu Liang nodded.
"Go get me a basin of water." Josley said.
"Yes, Steward Joe." The man nodded, turned and walked away quickly, and in an instant, he brought a basin of water.
Josley wet his hands, applied some soap, rubbed them a few times, dipped his hands in water, and sucked them a few times, and saw that the ink on his hands was washed clean, and he was overjoyed.
"How?" Wu Liang asked with a smile.
"How much is a piece of soap like this? How many do you have? Josley asked eagerly.
"Fifty copper coins a piece, I only have five thousand." Wu Liang said without hesitation.
"The price is too high, twenty copper coins a piece, how about it?" Josley asked.
"Well, forty copper coins a piece, how about it?" Wu Liang asked again.
"Twenty-five copper coins a piece." Josley said.
"Thirty-five copper coins a piece." Wu Liang said.
"Thirty copper coins a piece, as many as you have, I will ask for as much as I want." Josley said.
"Deal." Wu Liang was silent for a few seconds, then nodded reluctantly.
The cost price of two copper coins of a piece of soap, sold at the price of 30 copper coins, the profit is several times, small profits are not bad, and the soap will be more expensive in the future.
"Mr. Wu, I hope that this kind of soap will only be provided by you to our Baimeng Commercial Bank." Josley said expectantly.
"At the same price, how about selling it only to you Baimeng Commercial Bank?" Wu Liang asked rhetorically.
"Okay." Josley smiled and nodded.
