Chapter 298 Production of fragrance pills and their sky-high price!
The recipe for the scented pills was one she had obtained through an exam in the medical space. It had only one function, which was to make the user's body fragrant.
It can make your body emit fragrance as if you have sprayed perfume without using perfume, and it is long-lasting. Moreover, the fragrance that everyone "awakens" after taking it is different. If you are not satisfied with the fragrance or are tired of it, you can take another pill to change the flavor until you are satisfied. Just ask yourself whether such a pill is awesome.
Perhaps such pills are not very attractive to the current red people in China. After all, who would spend money on perfume when they haven't even solved the problem of food and clothing? Besides, the yellow people generally don't have much body odor.
But it is different for people of color in other countries. Whether they are black or white, they generally have a strong body odor, which is why perfumes from foreign countries have always been a best-seller.
Poor countries don't count; her deodorant pills can definitely be sold to all the developed countries with people of color in the world! The question is how big this market is!
Sure enough, when Minister Shen heard about the efficacy of this body fragrance pill, his first reaction was that it could only make people have body fragrance and it was useless, but after listening to Lu Chiyu's analysis of its market, his eyes lit up.
He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Lu, please continue to discuss the production and sales of these fragrance pills with Secretary Wu. We will sell a batch first, and if they sell well, we will expand production."
With Minister Shen's words, the matter of the fragrance pills went very smoothly.
Less than an hour after Lu Chiyu communicated with Secretary Wu, Director Huo of the Huaxia Pharmaceutical Factory branch, a state-owned pharmaceutical factory in Jun City, came to the hospital in person to pick up Lu Chiyu.
After arriving at the pharmaceutical factory, Lu Chiyu immediately arranged for all the staff that could be transferred to start producing body fragrance pills.
There was no other way, they had to come up with the fragrance pills before the international craze for traditional Chinese medicine died down.
Everyone at this time had a strong sense of collective honor, especially Lu Chiyu, who was the hero of this anti-epidemic campaign. When they learned that they were going to produce the magic pills with the prescription provided by Lu Chiyu to earn foreign exchange, the transferred workers were a hundred times more motivated than Lu Chiyu had imagined. They were so excited that they asked to work overtime to make the fragrance pills.
Especially once the confidentiality agreement was signed and the high wages and subsidies during this period were announced, the workers' sense of honor and motivation exploded, and their enthusiasm for production was extremely high.
The workers were so eager to make pills for Lu Chiyu without stopping for 24 hours that even when Lu Chiyu and the factory leaders asked everyone to take shifts and get more rest, it didn't work. There were always people who secretly insisted on continuing to work.
Every time Lu Chiyu returned to the production workshop after a rest at the pharmaceutical factory guesthouse, she would always find that the workers who had worked overtime the previous night were in the workshop again early in the morning. Later she learned that these people had not slept all night.
Seeing how hard these workers worked, Lu Chiyu secretly made up his mind to sell these fragrance pills well and earn a lot of foreign exchange so as not to let everyone's efforts go to waste.
The ancestors at that time were all hardworking and diligent. It is no wonder that the people of their nation had such excellent qualities that they were able to stand tall among the nations of the world in later generations!
Working day and night like this, and with Lu Chiyu staying on site to personally guide the preparation of the prescription, they produced the first batch of one thousand fragrance pills in just five days.
Watching the last step in front of me, the workers put the perfume pills sealed with beeswax into the newly delivered quaint and exquisitely carved wooden boxes, and even put a small silk handkerchief inside to wrap the pills.
For the hundredth time, Director Huo felt that the packaging of these deodorant pills cost more than the production cost of the deodorant pills themselves.
It’s not that the cost of materials is high. The wooden boxes that Lu Chiyu had people make are not even half the size of his palm. How much wood can be used? Even the silk handkerchief is pitifully small, only a ten-centimeter square.
What distressed him was the carving on the wooden box and the labor involved in making the silk handkerchief, which in his opinion were unnecessary.
Finally, he couldn't help but said to Lu Chiyu, "Chief Engineer Lu, do we really need such beautiful packaging for a small pill? As long as our pills are effective, that's all that matters."
