Like the Internet companies of later generations, only by taking the road of free and letting users get used to your products can they manipulate the market and earn excess profits later.

Hu Changan's soap business, although it is not a virtual industry, is also a new thing after all.

In the beginning, it was necessary to go the way of small profits and quick turnover, so that everyone could get used to soap, create a market, and then make a lot of money.

At present, Hu Changan is still in its infancy, so he naturally chooses small profits but quick turnover.

The price of a soap is 60 copper coins, and the most basic material cost is 30 copper coins, and then throwing away various labor expenses and sales expenses, the real profit is at most 10 copper coins, which is really not too high.

And now that my father Hu Weiyong has gone to Huating County to take up a job, the original income and gray income are gone.

In the huge Hu Mansion, all expenses had to be maintained by Hu Chang'an's soap business.

Although Hu Weiyong had taken away all the female dependents and a large part of his subordinates at that time, the daily expenses and monthly money required by the remaining maids were still not a small amount.

Hu Changan has thought about layoffs.

However, in this era, it is a proper shame for them to expel their subordinates from the family.

Unless a big mistake is made, the master will basically not fire his subordinates.

Everyone is doing a good job, and Hu Changan doesn't necessarily have to pick his nose and eyes, so he has to silently take over the burden left by his father.

And recently, Hu Changan also spent a huge amount of money to build a factory in the suburbs, and the money naturally flowed out.

Hu Changan calculated that not only did he not leave any savings this month, but even used the property left by his father.

Hu Changan couldn't help but choke, this master is really not good.

It seems that it is imperative to expand soap production.

Today, thanks to the hard work of the craftsmen, Hu Changan's workshop can produce about 10,000 bars of soap a day.

These 10,000 pieces of soap are placed in the store, and they are sold out before closing every day, and there are customers who can't buy soap after a long queue every day.

So if Hu Changan decides to expand production, these soaps will definitely be sold.

And in addition to individual customers, there is also an endless stream of businessmen who come to seek cooperation.

At present, Hu Changan's soap can be said to be completely famous.

Almost every week, businessmen from the nearby Suzhou and Yangzhou prefectures come to demand that soap be bought on a large scale and brought back to them for sale.

The farthest, even the merchants of Kaifeng Province.

It has to be said that the news of the businessman is well-informed.

As soon as there is a way to make money, everyone is like a shark that smells blood, swarming there.

However, due to production reasons, Hu Changan is worth reluctantly rejecting these businessmen who come to him one by one.

It seems that it is imperative to expand the production of soap!

However, what puzzled Hu Changan was that the factory in the suburbs had been built, the assembly line had been launched, and a lot of workers had been hired, but the output still could not rise.

Although this output is indeed higher than before, the increase is far from Hu Changan's expectations.

Hu Changan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and hurriedly called Steward Chen for questioning.

When Steward Chen heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Looking at the young master's face, I am afraid that things have not been done smoothly.

He has just been promoted from the shopkeeper to the manager, and he doesn't want to be beaten back to his original form just after being promoted!

Thinking of the young master's resolute appearance last time, Steward Chen was a little scared in his heart.

Sure enough, Steward Chen ushered in Hu Changan's questioning: "Steward Chen, I don't know why the output of this soap workshop has not increased significantly?" ”

After hearing this, Steward Chen hurriedly knelt down quickly, and said worriedly: "Young master, I'm sorry, my subordinates are not doing well, which makes the young master worried." ”

"It's just that this workshop matter, the subordinates are really willing and powerless!"

"My subordinates have always been accounting and managing money before, and I am really not familiar with the craftsmen, and I don't understand the twists and turns in it at all."

"And there are too many things in the Hu Mansion, and the subordinates really can't spare the energy to supervise the new workshop from beginning to end, so they have to hand over the affairs of the new workshop to Xiao Wang in the mansion."

"Xiao Wang has been coming to our Hu Mansion for more than 20 years, and he has been in Hu Mansion since the time when the master was in Ji'an (a county below Jiangxi), and his family has been a carpenter for generations, and he is also diligent."

"When building a new workshop, Xiao Wang ate and lived in the new workshop, and it was really not easy to eat and sleep in the open."

"A few days ago, my subordinates went to see it, and this new workshop was also built, just like the young master expected, it was tall and spacious."

"The subordinates basically don't have any problems, so they don't care much about the things in the workshop."

"I'm really embarrassed, please punish the young master!"

Hu Changan saw that Steward Chen was sincere with a worried face, and he didn't say much, so he had to let Chen Guan get up and speak in advance.

Indeed, this is also Hu Changan's inconsiderate thinking.

Now that the Hu family's stall is too big, they should find a few more stewards, otherwise they really can't manage it.

And although Steward Chen is loyal, he is indeed too honest and easy to be exploited by people with intentions.

Hu Changan is not a cool official after all, and he can understand the mood of his subordinates very well.

After all, Steward Chen seemed to be really conscientious and conscientious, and even had a few more gray hairs.

Thinking of this, Hu Changan was also calm.

Anyway, there are still a few days before the official promotion of the Lijia system in Xia County, Hu Changan decided to go out in person to see how the new workshop is working.

"Steward Chen, Young Master Ben decided to dress up Qiao Chuan and go to the new workshop to explore the truth and reality."

"Young Master, I'm going to disguise myself as a newly recruited subordinate, and then Steward Chen, you remember to talk about it."

"In the past few days, Steward Chen, don't go to the new workshop yet, just come and support me directly in three days, remember to bring my salute by the way."

"Young Master Ben still has something to do in Jiangning County later, and he is going to live directly in the new workshop over there."

What!

Steward Chen was directly circled, and it took a long time for him to react.

The young master actually wanted to disguise himself as a worker and go undercover directly in the new workshop?

This...... This is simply unheard of and unseen!

Before Steward Chen could speak, the old butler standing on the side immediately raised an objection: "Young master, you can't go!" Eat and live with those pancreatic craftsmen, can you afford it, young master? Don't get sick from exhaustion! ”

At present, there are two stewards in the Hu Mansion, who specialize in taking care of the fields and businesses in the mansion.

And those who take care of the inner house have a special housekeeper.

The original housekeeper was from the side of the housemother Liu, and naturally he was lukewarm to Hu Changan.

But now that Daddy Hu Weiyong and the army have gone to Huating County, the original housekeeper will naturally go with him.

The new housekeeper is a relative of Hu Changan's mother, Wang, and naturally shush Hu Changan, and can't wait to help Hu Changan from top to bottom.
