Chapter 299 Director Huo's Three Views Subverted
Lu Chiyu was not angry when she heard what Director Huo said, because after spending the past few days with him, she already knew that he was a retired senior leader, and thriftiness was engraved in his bones. As a factory director, his clothes were still patched, and he had given her full support for her work these days.
So she explained carefully: "As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. If we can package it in a more upscale way, we can increase the price of our fragrance pills.
The most important thing is that if this business succeeds, we can also create jobs for both carpenters and silk makers.
We are in a red country right now, and we should create as many jobs as we can. Ultimately, it will all be borne by those selling body spray pills."
Director Huo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Why didn't he think of this? This way their industry can feed more people.
"So, Chief Engineer Lu, what price are you going to sell these fragrance pills for?" After figuring it out, Director Huo couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he said this, the busy workers couldn't help but look at Lu Chiyu.
Seeing this, Lu Chiyu stretched out a finger.
"One dollar?" Director Huo guessed.
The production cost of this body fragrance pill is about thirty cents, plus the wooden box is forty cents, and the silk handkerchief is ten cents. The price of one dollar may be a little low, but if you can make a small profit but sell in large quantities, this price is acceptable.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chiyu shook his head.
"Ten yuan?" Director Huo guessed again. He felt that the price of ten yuan was a bit high, but it was still acceptable.
However, Lu Chiyu continued to shake his head.
"Chief Engineer Lu, we are not going to sell it for ten cents per piece, right? That way we will lose money." Director Huo would rather think that Lu Chiyu would lose money to gain publicity than to guess that it would be a hundred yuan per piece.
The others couldn't help but look at Lu Chiyu worriedly. They didn't want to work hard to make wedding dresses for others.
Seeing Director Huo's worried look, Lu Chiyu hurriedly said, "Of course not. I plan to sell them for one thousand US dollars each."
BANG!!!
As soon as Lu Chiyu finished speaking, the enamel cup in Director Huo's hand fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the boiling water inside was filled by Director Huo when he came in the morning. After he inspected it for half an hour, the water was no longer hot. Otherwise, the water inside would have scalded Lu himself.
When the other people at the scene heard the price Lu Chiyu said, they were so shocked that their mouths opened wide enough to fit a duck egg, and they couldn't close them for a long time.
When Director Huo saw that his precious water cup had fallen, he didn't care about the grief at the moment. He quickly picked up the cup and found that only a little paint had fallen off, and the remaining water inside had not leaked. He breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not broken.
He touched the cup lovingly, as if caressing a child, and then he finally continued the previous topic, asking Lu Chiyu in a shocked voice: "One... one thousand US dollars?"
Director Huo, who thought that selling one pearl for ten yuan was the best he could do, still couldn't digest this sky-high price which had increased a hundred times.
"Yes." Lu Chiyu nodded. Looking at the sixty-year-old man in front of her who was grimacing in grief over an enamel cup, she secretly decided to use the first money from selling the fragrance pills to buy him a new enamel cup.
After receiving Lu Chiyu's confirmation again, everyone present no longer doubted that they had heard it wrong.
"This...isn't this too expensive? Will any foreigner buy it at this price?" Director Huo didn't want to discourage Lu Chiyu, but would there really be a fool who would buy a pill that can only remove body odor and make the body emit fragrance for a thousand US dollars?
In short, if he dared to buy it, his great-grandfather would probably crawl out of the ground and scold him for being a spendthrift.
