Full of excitement, Li Lechen took a closer look and was immediately dumbfounded: What kind of manufacturing workshop is this? It's a completely enclosed workshop. All he could see was a huge machine standing there, with a large entrance on one side where he didn't know what went in, and a large exit on the other side where he didn't know what went out. After that, he couldn't see anything else.
"What's this all about?" Li Lechen was speechless.
"This is the manufacturing workshop, the one you requested to see."
"Can't we see inside?"
"I can't see it."
"Then what else is worth seeing?"
"So it's really boring."
“”
Knowing that no matter how much he complained, the guide had already stated that it was "boring," so the guide didn't need to explain anything further, Li Lechen could only compromise and say, "Then can I see the raw material workshop? Or, can I see what you use to make those cosmetics? If I don't know the ingredients, I won't feel at ease using them."
"You can rest assured that our products are all-natural and contain no additives."
"Talk is cheap. You're not going to tell me that when I visit your factory, I can't even look at the raw materials, are you?"
"sure!"
Li Lechen was actually quite worried about not being allowed to see the raw materials, because if he didn't know the ingredients, he wouldn't be able to sell those cleaning soaps. If there were really some illegal ingredients in them, such as using the arms, legs, or internal organs of genetically modified humans as raw materials, he would definitely be investigated.
Fortunately, the guide readily agreed.
But when Li Lechen saw the so-called "raw material workshop," he was still disappointed.
The raw material workshop is not inside the factory; the camera then pans to the contaminated area.
Through the virtual screen, Li Lechen could see a place that was completely different from the quarantine zone, the safe zone, and even his own side.
I had watched several live streams of the contaminated area before, but I could only see a very small area. I knew that there were some mutated animals in the contaminated area, but I didn't expect that the contaminated area was actually like a primeval forest.
If we disregard the enormous animals that occasionally appear before them, Li Lechen would definitely tell them that this is the real exclusive zone!
“Our raw materials all come from polluted areas,” the guide explained. “Our robots can enter polluted areas to cut down trees and collect air and water. Except for diamonds, which need to be identified manually, robots can obtain all the raw materials for our company from polluted areas.”
Later, Li Lechen learned that the cosmetic ingredients from the Beauty Dream Factory were indeed very simple, all derived from natural plants and minerals. However, while the extraction process played a part in their effectiveness, the inherent properties of the plants made up the majority. These were ancient trees that had grown for thousands of years, completely free from human pollution—how could their effects not be phenomenal?
After touring this boring "Beautiful Dream Factory," Li Lechen naturally abandoned his plan to study the ingredients of the cleansing soap in the comprehensive laboratory. After all, it's made from pure natural plants and minerals; who cares to study it?
The current focus is on how to promote it.
After thinking it over, the only person I could think of was Xu Ziyuan, who would knock on my dorm room door all the time.
Just as I was about to send her a message, Zhou Mi called.
"that"
Although Zhou Mi had thought about how to bring up the cleaning soap, she suddenly didn't know what to say when the call actually connected.
Zhou Mi didn't say anything explicitly, and even if Li Lechen could guess perfectly well, she wouldn't have expected her to bring up the cleaning soap. After all, Zhou Mi didn't care much about it; cleaning soap wasn't a disposable product. So, she asked blankly, "What do you want?"
I wanted to ask if it was expensive.
"Um?"
"Isn't it troublesome?"
"???"
Zhou Mi talked for a long time but couldn't get to the point, which made Zhao Minmin, who was next to her, very anxious. She grabbed the phone and said, "I'm Zhou Mi's roommate. I think the cleaning soap you made is super useful. I wanted to ask if you could send me another one."
After Zhao Minmin quickly finished speaking, Zhou Mi realized that the reason she had hesitated earlier was because she hadn't said something important, and clearly, Zhao Minmin hadn't either. So she grabbed the phone again, this time without hesitation: "I think this thing wouldn't be easy for you to make. If the cost is high, she won't take it from you for free."
Li Lechen finally understood what the two were saying and naturally had no objection: "It is indeed quite expensive. The raw materials alone cost more than three hundred."
The amount of three hundred was just a casual remark. Unexpectedly, Zhao Minmin became even more excited: "WeChat or Alipay? I'll transfer the money to you!"
To be honest, since we're not exactly strangers, if I just give you one, it'll be hard to ask for more later. But if I pay for it, then once I get one, I'll get another.
Li Lechen pretended to think for a while, then agreed to make a few more pieces in a few days. With a larger quantity, the cost would be spread out.
It's true that you can't underestimate a woman's ability to promote something. Whether something is good or not, women will spread the word, and soon everyone will know. Especially since Li Lechen's cleansing soap is genuinely good.
Although Zhou Mi felt sorry for her, every girl who heard that the cleaning soap was very good would inevitably try it when she came to her dorm.
Although it was a fairly large bar of cleaning soap, it couldn't withstand wave after wave of users and soon became a tiny pellet.
Fortunately, Li Lechen made a new batch of cleaning soap, which was then launched in the girls' dormitory 307.
The saying goes, "Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders," so Li Lechen naturally wanted to give Zhou Mi the distribution rights for the school. According to Li Lechen's own estimate, the cost of a bar of cleaning soap was about 200 yuan. Adding his own production costs, he gave Zhou Mi a price of 280 yuan, and then Zhou Mi sold it for 300 yuan, making a profit of 20 yuan.
Li Lechen originally wanted Zhou Mi to sell it at a higher price, but Zhou Mi insisted on low profit margins and high volume, leaving Li Lechen with no choice. Fortunately, Sunshine Coins were worth even less to him, and there were no purchase limits on the cleaning soap, so he figured he might as well stick to low profit margins and high volume.
Thanks to the previous advertising effect, Li Lechen's handmade cleaning soap sold 43 pieces on the first day of its official sale. Counting the 80 yuan she received, Zhou Mi felt that she had never earned so much in a single day in her life.
As for Li Lechen, he naturally made even more money; by simply reselling the item, he could earn tens of thousands of yuan.
However, no one would complain about having too much money. On the contrary, Li Lechen felt that the money-making speed was too slow. After all, such a good product would definitely be in high demand if it were properly promoted.
Furthermore, after negotiations with Meixi Pure Water Company, the company agreed to accept orders for bottling services starting at 300,000 bottles, with each bottle costing only 30 cents (0.3 yuan) before deducting the cost of finished packaging. In other words, Li Lechen only needed to invest 90,000 yuan to start this business.
Sending 300,000 bottles of Class I water to the mall at once should create quite a stir.
