Chapter 617: New Projects, Development
The popularity of perfume was completely beyond Jiang Xingchen's imagination, and his original idea was to help the Hua family occupy the high-end market of Moon Shadow, and then sell ordinary incense powder through the membership system to crack down on the two poplar and willow families.
But he never expected that the influence of the perfume would be so great, not only the four neutral kingdoms, but even the high-ranking of the eight kingdoms that were hostile to the Qiankun Empire went to Moon Shadow to buy perfume. If it weren't for the great hatred between Xuanyuan Tianzong and Moon Shadow, it is estimated that many of them would have gone.
Originally, he thought that the price of 1,000 citrine coins was not low, but the price of 2,000 was grabbed by the Hua family, and a bottle of dark night was fried for 20,000, which made him embarrassed. Now Qin Manwu and Wang Zhicheng have both sent letters and want to act as an agent for perfume.
What Jiang Xingchen couldn't figure out was that Cheng Dù, who was sought after for perfume, was really exaggerated, and it was far more popular than in the previous life. But then again, although he didn't use perfume in his last life, the classmates in the class, especially the female classmates, had a lot of uses, and several of them were rich in the second generation, and they used high-end goods. But in his impression, the perfume of the previous life was far less good than the one made by Xian Ning now.
"Isn't it because the essential oil extracted from the things that grow in the world of vitality is different from the plants...... Especially that dark night!" Jiang Xingchen thought to himself.
What he didn't know was that the plants used to refine the dark night essential oil themselves had that effect, at that time, Xian Ning was widely inclusive, and a large number of real materials were taken, and Xin'er, as a doctor, knew a lot of plants, so he was invited by Xian Ning. As a result, she magically recommended a love flower named Ju Ti, and a vine called Silk. This is also the reason why Xin'er later said that he likes dark nights!
Come to the Institute. When Jiang Xingchen found Xianning, she was still instructing her subordinates to mix perfumes.
"Xianning, can the production of perfume be increased?" Jiang Xingchen directly explained his intentions.
Xian Ning frowned, thought about it, and said: "It's okay to improve, but the resources will soon be used up, and there are too many raw materials needed for essential oil refining, often hundreds of catties of petals to refine one catty of essential oil...... In order to last the aroma, we use a high proportion of essential oils. At least more than 20%. In other words, a pound of essential oil can mix up to fifty bottles of perfume......"
"Understood!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, he understood what Xian Ning meant. In other words, it is possible to increase production, but the resources consumed are too large, so in this case, even if the output is temporarily increased. The raw materials are also not enough for later use.
It was originally developed for bees. He planted a few hillside flowers, but even if he used them to make essential oils, he was afraid that they would not be able to keep up with the consumption of production.
Jiang Xingchen lowered his head and pondered, the perfume business is so hot, hunger marketing is no longer appropriate. Now we have to continue to develop the barren mountains and plant some plants for perfume production.
"Qin Manwu and the Wang family master's side, they had to put it down for the time being, the development of barren mountains is not a matter of a while...... Other than that. The cattle and sheep that are raised have to be moved to another place! There are many mountains here in Xingchen Ling. It wasn't suitable for large-scale grazing, and he wondered if he would slowly move to the Cursed Lands, where at least it would be a great plain......
Jiang Xingchen groaned and didn't speak for a long time.
"Xingchen, what are you thinking about! If you want me to say, the production of perfume should be maintained as it is, if the resource development is too large, it will not be able to be used in the future!" Xian Ning saw that Jiang Xingchen didn't speak for a long time, and raised his hand to push him.
Jiang Xingchen came back to his senses, raised his head and smiled at Xian Ning and said, "I know this, just now I was trying to develop a few more hillsides and plant the plants we need, especially the pedicle flowers and silk vines!"
Hearing this, Xian Ning's white face was slightly red, and the essence extracted from the silk vine was the essential oil of the dark night, and the effect of the dark night could not be clearer.
She knew that Jiang Xingchen didn't mean anything else, but she just felt embarrassed and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Xingchen, are there any research projects in the future, now the people below the perfume section are fully able to get started!"
"There is a project, but it can't be studied yet!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"What project, why can't you study it?" Xian Ning immediately asked, and as soon as she heard that there was a project, her embarrassment disappeared in an instant.
"Porcelain, glass, bicycles... These are to be studied, but no corresponding raw materials have been found, of course, it can't be carried out! Porcelain needs to find porcelain clay, glass needs to find white sand, or quartz stone, and a large amount of caustic soda is also needed. It's not easy to bike, at least we don't have ...... rubber."
As soon as Jiang Xingchen explained, he unconsciously said many words that had not appeared before. Hearing this, Xian Ning was dumbfounded, and looked at Jiang Xingchen's eyes more and more curious.
In fact, since Jiang Xingchen launched research projects one after another, she has been curious. How many things Jiang Xingchen had in her head, paper, piano, syringes, gliders, and then thinking about the grenades, ballistas or something before, she sometimes wondered if Jiang Xingchen was a human being, otherwise how could she know so much. Now every time she finishes researching a project, she will ask Jiang Xingchen for the next project, knowing that he must have it in his hands, which has become a habit.
When she was free from research, she often wondered if Jiang Xingchen had also obtained relics, but in the end she came to the conclusion that this was simply impossible, and Jiang Xingchen's strength in his early years could not protect such a thing at all. In addition, Dashang used to be the most powerful dynasty, but the things recorded in the relics of Dashang in her hand were simply different from what Jiang Xingchen proposed.
When Xian Ning was stunned, Jiang Xingchen also stopped, he saw Xian Ning's strange appearance, and immediately realized that he had said too much!
"Huh...... What, I just remembered that the Bauhinia tour is almost here, and I still have to go to the stage with Sister Wanrou to choreograph the stage......" As he spoke, Jiang Xingchen was about to run. He had used this trick many times, and whenever Xian Ning was curious and asked him why he knew so many things, he would use the excuse of running away because there was really no way to explain it.
But this time, he didn't run, as soon as he spoke, Xian Ning realized what he was going to do, and reached out and grabbed his arm.
"Don't go yet! You've said so much, and you don't have a single project that can be done, that's not good! Today you have to leave a feasible research direction!"
Hearing that Xian Ning didn't ask him why he knew so many things like before, Jiang Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, you let me think about it!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"You want to, hurry up!" Xian Ning nodded.
"What's that, Xian Ning, can you let go of my arm first!" Jiang Xingchen blinked and said a little helplessly.
"Can't!" Xian Ning shook her head and said, "If you run away, I won't be able to catch up with you!"
"Hey~" Jiang Xingchen was speechless, this eldest sister is too naïve, I want to give you a research topic, what are you running.
"Think about it, concentrate a little!" Xian Ning completely ignored Jiang Xingchen's expression, still clutching his arm.
Jiang Xingchen had no choice this time, so he could only shake his head with a wry smile, and then lowered his head in contemplation.
For a long time, Jiang Xingchen didn't speak, Xian Ning felt that his hand hurt when he grabbed it, and couldn't help asking, "How is it, do you have any eyebrows?"
"You think the project is blowing in the wind, and you think of it!" Jiang Xingchen pursed his lips.
"Why, is there something wrong with what I said! You have so many things in your head, it's easier than the wind blows, and you don't know how your head grows...... What quartz, what caustic soda ......"
Hearing Xian Ning mention this stubble again, Jiang Xingchen subconsciously struggled to run away. But Xian Ning was dead to him, and he didn't dare to use his strength, for fear of hurting Xian Ning.
"Xian Ning, I've already thought of it, you let go first!" Jiang Xingchen begged, now that there is no one in the house, it would be bad if people could see the current situation.
"No, you're too cunning, if I let go, you'll definitely run!" Xian Ning shook his head categorically.
Jiang Xingchen was really speechless this time, so he had to let Xian Ning grasp it and tell him about the new project he had just thought of.
"What we're making this time is called soap!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Soap, what is this thing, what is it for?" Xian Ning was stunned for a moment and asked. The name sounds a little strange.
"This kind of thing called soap is used for bathing and bathing, which can fully wash off the oil stains on people...... Jiang Xingchen began to explain the purpose of soap little by little.
Now the limestone is already there, after calcination is quicklime, adding water can become hydrated lime, and then react with alkali to get caustic soda, and then with oil, essential oils are also available, it is not difficult to make soap.
Hearing Jiang Xingchen's explanation, Xian Ning's eyes became brighter and brighter, if it was like what Jiang Xingchen described, once the soap was produced, it would definitely be very popular, and the economic benefits would be quite large.
Then, Jiang Xingchen explained the general process of making zuò soap again, Xian Ning nodded again and again when he heard it, and the hand holding his arm unconsciously let go.
As soon as he saw Xian Ning let go, Jiang Xingchen hurriedly accelerated the speed of explanation, and hurriedly said goodbye and left while Xian Ning was still thinking about it.
This time, Xian Ning ignored him, but turned around and took out a pen and paper and recorded everything Jiang Xingchen had just said......
After Jiang Xingchen returned to Xinzhen, he went directly to the city hall, found Grandpa Fu, and proposed a plan to develop the mountainous land.
Since the Tianxia Commercial Bank had just sent 30 million for fifty catties of tea, Grandpa Fu was quite wealthy, so he immediately agreed to Jiang Xingchen's request.
Jiang Xingchen considered that the empire was now rebuilding after the disaster, the personnel were tight, and it was not easy to recruit workers, so he wrote a letter to Wu Tianfeng and asked the Seventh Army to borrow 3,000 people.
At this time, it was already June 20th, Jiang Xingchen's twentieth birthday was approaching, and since Mei'er was about to return, the Bauhinia tour also needed him to participate in the choreography, and now he was going to develop the mountains, so the plan to go to the Cursed Land was temporarily shelved.
But at this time, Jiang Xingchen received a letter from Han Xiaowu, saying that they were in trouble! (To be continued......)
