Huang Xuan went to Shanghai Stock Exchange.

She was going to Shanghai Daily Chemical Co., Ltd. to discuss purchasing bulk shampoo and conditioner.

Luo Xuan estimated that Huang Xuan was very likely to be able to successfully negotiate this time: mainly because Saibei is an old area.

The brother provinces, cities, enterprises and institutions outside are still happy to provide counterpart support here.

Coupled with the fact that bulk shampoos are purchased in large quantities, manufacturers cannot suffer losses.

After all, the biggest production cost for things like shampoo and hair conditioner is the plastic bottle.

The production cost of the shampoo inside is very low. The cost is so low that it is beyond the imagination of most people.

Let’s put it this way: In later generations of hand sanitizer, shampoo, and shower gel, in the entire production process, the most expensive part is the “plastic pump.”

Next is the plastic bottle.

The shampoo and hand sanitizer inside are not valuable parts.

Huang Xuan brought the "Travel Certificate" from the Tuocheng Prefectural Committee and the corresponding support letter written by the top leaders to "Shanghai Daily Chemicals".

so,

Logically speaking, Huang Xuan can easily handle this matter. Perhaps the difficulty lies in how to transport it.

In this period, it was really not easy to get a train skin.

Huang Xuan went to Shanghai, and Peng Yong also flew to Yangcheng.

In Yangcheng, there is the famous "Chemical Raw Materials Street".

This time Peng Yong went to Yangcheng and not only needed to purchase glycerin, blending agents, emulsifiers, and petroleum jelly, these raw materials for the production of cosmetics.

And he is also tasked with printing plastic packaging and customizing plastic bottles for packaging shampoo and shampoo.

During this period, the most advanced place in the country for packaging design was in Yangcheng.

And inland places like Saibei include Bashu Province.

To put it bluntly: even the instant noodle seasoning packets of later generations, in this era, they do not have the ability to produce.

And for aspects such as packaging pattern design, ergonomics, and plastic layout printing.

It’s simply a mess!

Even in the 1990s, designing and printing patterns on snakeskin bags had to rely on factories in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to do it well.

In order to make our products different from the silly, thick and black packaging on the market.

That's why Luo Xuancai entrusted Peng Yong to go to Yangcheng with the sketches he designed to customize cosmetic bottles, soft plastic packaging similar to the "snake oil ointment" of later generations, and tubes like hand cream.

However, most of the plastic pipes in this period were imported, so they were very expensive.

It was not until the 1970s that our country began mass production of plastic pipes.

At the same time, printing trademark patterns on plastic tubes requires a "gravure plate engraving machine".

Therefore, the cost of making the entire plastic packaging tube for cosmetics is indeed not low.

This forced Luo Xuan, who was short of funds, to hand over all the more than 20,000 yuan in cash in his space to the Post and Telecommunications Bureau, and exchange the cash for "telegraphic remittance" to Peng Yong.

Finished all this.

Luo Xuan didn't go looking for Accountant Li, who was with him in Camel City.

When it's dark tomorrow, Accountant Li will naturally lead the pick-up driver from the Agricultural Machinery Sales and Service Co., Ltd. to drive the two tractors directly to Zhimi County to participate in the "Flower Parade".

Arrive at the bus station at the south gate of Tuocheng.

Luo Xuan spent 1 yuan and 80 cents and got on the bus back to Zhimi County, intending to go back and prepare for setting up a factory.

And at the same time,

Thousands of miles away in Laos County, Lao Minzheng, Lao Dao, and Lao Min's daughter-in-law Hanzhu were sitting in a rubber plantation worried.

Lao Min looked at the north with deep eyes: "It's been almost a month since Miao Meisha left. Has she arrived in Saibei? She won't even send a telegram back."

Lao Dao took a puff of cigarette and said, "Don't worry, this girl Miao Meisha, her brain is many times stronger than those idiots in our village!"

"Wajia Meisha, you are the one who is fierce and fierce, not those girls in Nongzhai who have nothing to do with foreign affairs."

Old Min sighed, "But this time Meisha sent snake oil to Luo Xuan. It's so far away. She's a girl, she has to stay and change trains, ugh!"

Hanzhu on the side smiled slightly: "Old Min, don't worry. My sister Meisha will definitely send the things to the north of Saibei smoothly. Isn't it for the sake of unity? Do you in the mainland give preferential treatment to us border residents?

?”

Lao Min nodded: "That's for sure! It's the same as asking the police comrade for directions, but Meisha and I have different effects.

If Meisha asks for directions, maybe we can get on a three-wheeler and take her to her destination."

Han Zhu smiled sweetly: "Then what are you worried about? Anyway, Meisha is determined to go to Saibei, and we can't stop her."

"Oh, that's right."

Old Min drooped his head: "Is she going to deliver snake oil? I think she is going to deliver meat. Oh, Mufa, who made your Meisha like Luo Xuan?"

Hanzhu asked: "There is still a lot of money left in the village's accounts this year. Can you and Lao Dao discuss what to do with this money?"

Lao Dao thought for a while: "How to deal with it? Let's just remit it to Luo Xuan. We won't make trouble if we keep the money, so let's just let Luo Xuan handle it."

Lao Min nodded in agreement: "In the entire village, the two who have invested the most are Luo Xuan and Lao Dao.

Now, since Lao Dao, you said to give this money to Luo Xuan for investment, what else can I say?"

Luoxuan, who lives in Saibei, is short of money.

But in Laku Village, there was a large amount of money lying on the account, but they were worried that they had no place to spend it.

Just because there are really few people with normal intelligence in Laku Village.

There are many people in this village. Although they are all in their 30s and 40s, in fact, the IQ of those people is roughly at 15 or 6 years old, or maybe not yet.

Therefore, the two sisters Hanzhu and Miao Meisha, who have a smart brain and business concepts,

Now he has become the financial manager of the entire Laku Village.

Usually the village has to sell rubber in batches, sell pigs, vegetables, chickens and ducks, or purchase daily necessities together.

All these things are managed by the two sisters Miao Meisha and Hanzhu.

But Lao Min and Lao Dao, two men with the most normal IQs in the entire Laku land, just hid in the background and quietly made money.

This is not because Old Min is evil.

But before Luo Xuan left, he repeatedly asked them: Never give all the money earned from selling rubber, chickens, ducks, geese, and cattle and pigs to the mountain people in the village.

Those guys in the village cannot be allowed to have money on hand!

Because these people have no self-discipline, no habit of saving money, and no plans for future life.

As long as they have some money in their hands, they will only do two things every day: drinking and smoking.

As we all know, the cigarettes they smoke are not ordinary dry cigarettes or cigarettes, but "special" cigarettes.

So if the money from selling rubber, selling pigs and selling vegetables is given to them, it will only harm the mountain people and create more lazy people.

On the contrary, after several consecutive years of training.

The women in Laku Village have been trained to be decent: especially girls like Namu and Nali, who used to be close to Luo Xuan.

Now, compared to the men in the village, they are better at cultivating the land, growing vegetables, growing corn, and raising pigs and chickens.

Even the hard and tiring work of harvesting rubber in the mountains is supported by the women in the village.

Now the economic situation in the entire Laku Village is very good.

The women are busy working every day to make money, and then they just give the men at home some rice, noodles, pork and snake meat to eat so that they don't starve to death.

Anyway, if they want cash to buy cigarettes, the women will not give them as usual.

If they are addicted to smoking and need money urgently, they can only work in the rubber plantations and earn some money.

It is said that years ago, when Luo Xuan saw that Xiao Rongrong's hands were badly damaged by the ruthless sand and cold wind.

At that time, Luo Xuan was thinking: Should I open a small workshop to produce cosmetics in this place?

The technical content of producing things like hand cream and snake oil ointment is really not high.

It's nothing more than a little petroleum jelly, glycerin, essence, plus some stabilizers, emulsifiers and the like.

If it were left to those small workshops in later generations, a couple could produce "Piaoyu" shampoo, "Taibao Sod Honey", and "Longdao Qishen Ointment" in a plastic bucket.

If I could successfully open such a factory in Saibei.

It is definitely a project with small investment and quick results.

After Luo Xuan made up his mind, he sent a telegram to Lao Min and others in Liao Lao County.

In this telegram, which cost Luo Xuan dozens of dollars, Luo Xuan asked Lao Dao and the wizard to mobilize the men in the village who were too lazy to burn snakes to eat.

Let them go to the rubber plantations in the mountains to catch snakes. Or even go to other places to buy a large number of pythons.

Snake meat belongs to those guys.
