Chapter 608 Taobao District
Today's candle craftsmanship is not very good, and many candles have a smell. Some people don't mind smelling it, but some people get a headache after smelling it.
This problem is easy to solve. For Cheng Hui, it is a piece of cake. It only requires a small machine.
As for incense, she did not use industrial fragrances, but only extracted from herbs.
"It tastes good, right?" Cheng Hui asked.
Xu Yuanzhong held back his tears and nodded: "It smells good! I smell it, it smells a bit like osmanthus? It's a little lighter, but very natural, and it doesn't give me a headache."
He has smelled perfume, but he can't stand any kind of perfume. It gives him a headache, except for natural floral scents.
Cheng Hui smiled and said, "I didn't expect Director Xu to be so professional. This is indeed the natural fragrance of osmanthus. I'll call two people in, and we'll discuss the production of scented candles together."
The secretary went out, and soon two more people came into the room.
A man and a woman, both middle-aged, dressed simply, in their forties.
Most factory managers start at this age because they need to gain experience before becoming a factory manager.
The woman's name is Liu Fang. She is not very pretty, but she has an elegant temperament.
She is the director of the factory that supplies petals for Peach Blossom Su. It is located in the mountains outside Beijing. It specializes in making sachets. It is a small factory run by an unpopular commune. They use traditional techniques. They don't make much money, but they are not starving.
Who knew that a few days ago, a big customer, Cheng Hui, appeared out of nowhere, bought all their spices, cleared out their inventory, and booked a large order for next year, with an output that is 10 times their original annual output.
Liu Fang was just wondering if someone was playing a joke on her when she received a notice from Cheng Hui asking her to go into the city for an interview.
She came over quickly, but who knew that she would be put on some list while being mixed in the crowd.
She was really confused.
The other man is Jian Guang, the director of a glass handicraft factory in Beijing.
Glass is also a scarce commodity now. Beer bottles and glass bottles were recycled until the 1990s and taken back for recycling.
In fact, his factory is not a "proper" glass factory. It does not produce glass windows and glass bottles, which are in high demand. Their factory mainly produces glass handicrafts, which are purely handmade, mainly vases.
There is a market for vases nowadays, and people with better financial conditions like to buy a few vases to take home and put artificial flowers in them.
Unfortunately, this factory is not large, with only a few dozen employees, and not many tasks to be assigned.
He came in through the back door, a real back door, the back door of the office, and Cheng Hui's name was not on the list.
But he knew what he was here for. Cheng Hui placed an order for 100,000 glass cups for their factory! 100,000!
Even if Cheng Hui didn't call him, he would have come over today to ask if she was joking with him.
"Okay, everyone is here." Cheng Hui pointed at the scented candles on the table and said, "Everyone, look, this is what the three of you produced through cooperation, scented candles."
Liu Fang's eyes sparkled and her mind worked wildly. It turned out that spices could be added to candles? Why didn't she think of it!
Scented candles are definitely the first on the market, so business is sure to be good!
It's just a bit too small, isn't it? Why put it in a glass? Increased costs? If it is made into an ordinary candle, which is thin and long, it will sell better, right?
When Jian Guang saw that the glass cups he was asked to customize were actually used to hold candles, his brain froze for a few seconds.
He felt that he would never have thought that a cup could be used in this way.
As he watched, he also questioned: "In fact, it is okay not to use a glass cup? Just make the candle into this shape and it will stand up."
Candles can be shaped by themselves, and this short and fat one can sit without dripping wax, so putting a glass in it seemed completely redundant to him.
The other two people nodded, they thought so too!
Cheng Hui said: "You have to use a cup. Not using a cup is not classy. Just like loose biscuits and biscuits in a tin box, which one looks better?"
Of course, the one with the iron box is more beautiful and advanced, but...
"It's cheaper in bulk." said Xu Yuanzhong.
The others nodded.
Cheng Hui said: "High-priced snacks also have their market, and so do candles. You don't have to feel sorry for those who can afford them. We won't discuss this issue anymore."
She said to Jian Guang: "I called you here today to let you know what these glass cups are used for. Go back and produce them with confidence. Is it okay to produce 1,000 a day?"
"No problem!" Jian Guang immediately patted his chest and said.
He blows into one of these cups, which are not even as big as his palm!
Moreover, the original style is "random", the sizes are almost the same, and they can be blown into any shape, and they can be irregular.
Unlike other water cups, which must be of uniform shape and regular in shape, they cannot be produced by machines.
"Then go ahead. Send your work to my warehouse No. 38 every day. My secretary will tell you the address later." Cheng Hui said.
Jian Guang immediately said goodbye and went to find his secretary.
The so-called Warehouse No. 38 was converted from the abandoned factories she had collected before and numbered them uniformly. This Warehouse No. 38 was not far from the candle factory, just in the next alley, making it convenient for the candle factory to use.
Cheng Hui then said to Liu Fang, "I think you can improve the process of extracting essences and make a few perfumes."
Liu Fang nodded: "We have made perfumes before, but due to the production process, they could not be preserved for long and either faded or went bad. Later, we simply stopped making them."
"As for the machine issue, I have a complete set of machines for extracting and making perfumes. I can lend them to you." Cheng Hui emphasized, "It's a loan, free of charge."
Because it is free to borrow, if the other party is disobedient, she can take it back without saying anything~
Liu Fang's eyes lit up. Is it so good? Lend it to them for free? What does she want?
Cheng Hui said: "But part of the products produced will be used by the candle factory, and the other part will be made into perfume and only supplied to the commercial street. Do you want to rent a shop? Or do you want to rent a stall?"
Cheng Hui wanted to sell perfume, so she specifically looked for this small factory.
Other factories use industrial fragrances, which is not suitable because she does not have the formulas for those industrial fragrances.
The fragrances she knew about had either not been developed yet or were not exported to the mainland.
Only natural perfumes are the best.
She is only responsible for providing machine extraction, and professional perfume blending is left to professionals.
Liu Fang finally knew why she was on the list. Her heart was pounding. "I, I want to choose the store! Perfumes will only be high-end if they are placed in the store, and the market will be better."
The key point is that Cheng Hui promised that she would guarantee the store and make up for it if the profit was not 20,000 yuan a month!
She is not after the 20,000 yuan. If she really can't make any money, she will definitely not take it! She just wanted a shop for free.
Cheng Hui nodded: "If you have the guts, you can."
She thought she would choose the stall. After all, the rent was cheap, and a timid person would definitely choose the stall.
She likes a bold partner who will rush forward on his own without her having to drag him down.
Finally, Cheng Hui looked at Xu Yuanzhong and said, "The spices will also be delivered to Warehouse No. 38, which is in the alley behind your factory. If you open a back door in the factory, you can get there in a few minutes. The secretary will give you the formula and production process of scented candles in a while."
Cheng Hui asked, "Which stall do you choose?"
She directly gave the order that the candles could only be used in one stall and were not worthy of entering the store.
Li Yuanzhong didn't want to open a shop in the first place. He looked at the floor plan on the table. This plan was different from the one outside. There were four large stall areas on this plan, which were subdivided.
Clothing area, department store area, food area, Taobao area.
He definitely couldn't enter the clothing area or the food area. He didn't understand the difference between the department store area and the Taobao area. So where should he go?
