Chapter 163 Chen Xingyun takes over the soap business!
Xiao Ying nodded approvingly. It seemed that Chen Xingyun's time running the shop was not in vain. Even she would divide the products for sale according to different groups of people.
"That's a good point. This way it can be open to everyone."
Chen Xingyun smiled even more happily, and her proposal was approved by her mother.
Chen Xinghai frowned slightly. "Isn't the price of ordinary soap too low? A pound of oil costs thirty or forty wen, and alkali costs dozens of wen. The cost is not cheap."
Having managed the Chili Workshop for such a long time, he naturally knows a lot about this aspect.
"That's true." Chen Xingyun was persuaded by him: "Then sell it for a little more, about ten or twenty coins."
"But ordinary people might not be willing to buy it." Chen Xinghai shook his head and said, "Ordinary people now generally use soapnut powder, which only costs a few coins per pound. Our soap costs more than ten coins per small piece, which is not competitive at all."
"I've also heard that wealthy families make their own bath beans, adding different herbs and spices. I guess they wouldn't be interested in our soaps."
Having said that, he suddenly looked at Xiao Ying with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"Mom, I didn't mean to pour cold water on you, it's just..."
"I know, and you're right."
Not only did Xiao Ying not blame him, but he was very pleased. It seemed that Xinghai had grown a lot during this period of time.
"Then our soap..."
Chen Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief, but then became even more worried.
Xiao Ying said slowly: "You have to know that this world is not just about rich and poor people. Everything has its own value after it appears."
"Ordinary people might be reluctant to spend money on soap, but if people in a town, or even a county town, have extra money at home, do you think they would choose the cheaper but less effective soapnut powder, or the more convenient and refined soap and scented soap?"
Chen Xinghai thought for a moment: "At least some people will choose soap and perfumed soap."
"That's it." Xiao Ying nodded. "Sometimes, we can't just look at the effect of something. We also have to consider the identity and status of the user. Otherwise, why do those rich people use bath beans instead of soapnut powder?"
"Soap and perfumed soap target the middle class between the rich and the poor. These people may not be able to afford bath beans, and soapnut powder is too cheap for them to highlight the gap between them and the poor."
"Furthermore, among the wealthy families who could afford bath soap, only a few masters used it, while the hundreds or even thousands of servants in the house were still the targets of soap and perfumed soap promotion."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement. It was indeed true.
Take their own family for example. They could only afford soapnut powder in the past, but in the future they will definitely use perfumed soap and soap.
So what if it's a bit more expensive? It's not like I can't afford it. As long as it works, that's fine.
If you put yourself in other people’s shoes, I believe there are many people who have this idea.
Xiao Ying added, "There's no end to making money. We don't need to consider everyone. As long as a small number of people are willing to buy and use it, we'll be considered a success."
Finally, she looked at Chen Xingyun and said, "Next, I hope you can make a detailed plan, just as you said before, to produce different types, as well as the subsequent pricing and positioning."
"You have a talent for business. If you do well, I will hand over the soap business to you."
As the business expands, she certainly cannot do everything herself. At this time, she needs to promote trustworthy and capable managers to take charge of the business.
The spicy sesame oil has always been managed by Chen Xinghai, and the soap can be handed over to Chen Xingyun.
As for Chen Xinghe, he should focus on studying. Chen Xingyue is still too young and has no talent in this area. She will have her own path in the future.
"Mom, can I really do this?"
Chen Xingyun suddenly opened his eyes wide, never expecting that his mother would suddenly entrust him with such an important task.
She felt a lot of pressure, but also a little excited and happy. She was even more excited than the last time her mother asked her to open a shop by herself.
“Believe in yourself, you can do it.”
Xiao Ying smiled and touched her head. Sometimes, if you don’t push yourself, you won’t know your limits.
"I, I..." Chen Xingyun's cheeks flushed red, and he suddenly clenched his fists and bit his lower lip with his pearly teeth: "Mom, I will definitely not let you down!"
"Well, I'll wait and see."
Xiao Ying was very satisfied with her attitude. It was good that she was hardworking and daring enough to take risks.
"Oh, Mom, there's something I forgot to tell you."
Chen Xingyue, who was not very interested in this, suddenly spoke, a trace of annoyance flashing across her little face.
"What's up?"
"They are the people who are reclaiming the land in the mountains. They have finished building all the houses today. Once the soil dries, they can move in. So tomorrow they will officially start reclaiming the land and farming."
"Mom said last time that she would send them seeds, and they asked me to ask when they could send them."
Chen Xingyue felt a little guilty and she almost forgot about it.
Xiao Ying suddenly realized and took out a storage bag and handed it to her.
"The seeds are all in here. Take them and give them to them tomorrow."
"no problem."
Chen Xingyue was very happy to receive another task, and was determined to get it done well.
The next morning, she took the seeds into the mountains and asked each family to come and register the number of acres of land they wanted to reclaim and what they wanted to plant.
After all the registrations were completed, the seeds were distributed one by one according to the registered quantity, and the people were very convinced.
At the same time, Xiao Ying took Ling Yun into the Immortal Palace again.
Ling Yun was responsible for teaching the four children, while Xiao Ying checked the situation of the spiritual field.
Due to the different speeds of time flowing inside and outside, nearly two days had already passed inside. The rapeseed had long been harvested, the rice and wheat were almost done, and the people were digging potatoes.
At this rate, all the harvest will probably be completed in two or three days.
After more than a day of adaptation, everyone had more smiles on their faces, perhaps because they all discovered the beauty of this space.
Everyone's mentality gradually changed. They felt that it was indeed better here than outside, and they were full of hope every day when they opened their eyes.
It turned out that the lady had not lied to them. The crops here were indeed high-yield, with the yield of rice and wheat exceeding 1,000 kilograms per mu.
These things called sweet potatoes and potatoes have a higher yield per mu, which can really reach 10,000 kilograms.
They had never heard of such a high yield, and they didn't expect that they could now grow it with their own hands. The feeling was like picking up gold.
Seeing that everyone was motivated, Xiao Ying felt relieved.
In addition to checking the spiritual fields today, she also delivered sixty to seventy kilograms of meat, and will deliver a second batch in a few days.
The speed of time flowing inside and outside is different, so the time inside should naturally be taken as the standard.
Various crops were also distributed as food for the future. Each person could get between 50 and 100 kilograms of each crop, including grain and vegetables.
By this calculation, each person can get at least 500 kilograms, which is more than enough to cope with the next four months.
When the new season's grain comes out, we can divide it into 30% and 70% shares. We don't have to worry about food anymore and we can start making money.
