Soon, Wang Chuan made inquiries and came to a pastry workshop.
This pancake workshop is called Zhang’s pancake workshop.
Before Hu Changan's soap workshop appeared, this was also the largest soap workshop in Yingtian City.
Every day, carts and carts of soap are sent to various places in Yingtian City for sale.
However, with the rise of Hu Changan's soap workshop, Zhang's soap workshop gradually declined.
After all, everyone is discerning. This soap is not only easier to use than soap, but it is also much cheaper.
With soap, who would use soap?
As a result, Zhang's Pastry Workshop gradually declined.
We used to be able to transport several carts of soap to the outside every day, but now I fear it will take three to five days to get one cart together.
Looking at the door of Zhang's Pastry Workshop, Wang Chuan smiled.
He believed that the owner of Zhang Zhang's soap workshop would be very interested in his secret soap recipe.
Wang Chuan knocked on the door of Zhang's Pastry Workshop.
Soon, a boy came out to answer the door.
However, when he saw that the person knocking on the door was the unkempt Wang Chuan, the boy covered his nose in disgust and quickly made a gesture to close the door.
While closing the door, the boy yelled: "Where did you come from, beggar? Get out of here! This is not a place for you to run wild!"
When Wang Chuan heard this, he became anxious. He quickly blocked the door and said to the boy in a flattering manner: "Please be accommodating. I have a big business to discuss with your employer this time."
"I came from Hu's soap workshop."
"I know exactly how they make soap."
"With this method of making soap, I believe that you Zhang family will be able to become one of the best soap workshops in Yingtian City again before long!"
When the young man heard this, he was also doubtful.
Seeing Wang Chuan's unkempt appearance, the boy instinctively doubted the authenticity of Wang Chuan's words.
But what if Wang Chuan’s words are true?
Their Zhang's workshop has been in decline for a long time.
If we continue like this, I'm afraid the owner will go bankrupt soon!
Of course the servant doesn't want his employer to go bankrupt.
After all, if the boss goes bankrupt, servants like them will live on the streets!
After much thought, the boy decided to report it to his employer.
What if this thing is true?
Soon, a middle-aged man with a big belly came to the door under the leadership of the boy.
This person is none other than Zhang Jun, the owner of Zhang's workshop.
Looking at Wang Chuan, Zhang Jun looked disgusted: "You said you have the secret recipe of Hu's soap workshop?"
"Tell me, what is the secret recipe?"
Zhang Jun didn't quite believe that the ragged man in front of him could come up with any secret recipe.
However, just to be on the safe side, Zhang Jun decided to come and have a look.
If he missed the secret soap recipe of Hu's workshop, Zhang Jun would definitely regret it to death!
When Wang Chuan heard this, he straightened his chest and retaliated.
As he listened, Zhang Jun's eyes suddenly burst into light.
Good guy, it looks like what this guy said is true!
Once I have this secret soap recipe, I will publish it myself!
Suddenly, Zhang Jun's attitude towards Wang Chuan made a 180-degree turn.
Looking at Wang Chuan, Zhang Jun smiled enthusiastically: "Brother, come in quickly, eat something and wash up. If you help our Zhang family's workshop make soap, our Zhang family will definitely benefit from you!"
Wang Chuan also smiled slightly when he heard this.
A few people just held each other and walked towards the back room...
...
A week later, Zhang's soap workshop launched its soap grandly.
Several grocery stores that cooperated with Zhang's workshop saw this and quickly increased their order quantities.
Finally, in addition to Hu's workshop, there is a second workshop in Yingtian City that launches soap!
The shopkeepers of these grocery stores have long been envious of Hu's grocery store's daily income from soap!
They also want to make a fortune from soap like Hu's Grocery Store!
As a result, Zhang's Spicy Rice Workshop resumed its business of shipping out several carts of soap every day.
However, Zhang Jun, the owner of Zhang's Pasta Workshop, does not have a very good-looking face.
Looking at the data presented by the accountant, Zhang Jun couldn't help but look a little sad.
The sales volume of this soap is really good right now.
But this soap makes no money at all!
The cost of a piece of soap is 200 copper coins.
But the price of soap in Hu's grocery store is only 60 copper coins!
If the soap from Zhang's Yizi Workshop is to be sold, the price must be consistent with the price of soap in Hu's grocery store.
After all, for the same thing, why should consumers choose high-priced soap when they are full?
And this money is earned by more than just Zhang’s Pasta Factory.
Unlike Hu's, which integrates distribution and distribution, Zhang's Pasta Workshop is only responsible for production.
As for the sales, it is entirely the responsibility of other grocery stores.
These other grocery stores also have to make money selling things!
Therefore, Zhang could only lower the price of soap even lower.
The current ex-factory price of soap in Zhang's workshop is only 55 copper coins.
Even so, those grocery stores that cooperate with Zhang's Pasta Workshop are still thinking of bargaining!
For Zhang, the cost of this soap is 200 Wen, but the selling price is only 55 Wen.
This is definitely a huge loss!
For every piece of soap sold, Zhang would lose 145 copper coins!
Zhang Jun looked at the account book and felt his heart bleed.
Looking at Wang Chuan, Zhang Jun was furious: "Are you sure your method of making soap is correct?"
"Why can the Hu family make money, but I can't?"
However, Wang Chuan looked at Zhang Jun with a bitter look on his face.
Can you blame him?
The blame lies with the craftsmen in the workshop!
What Wang Chuan saw in Hu's workshop was the tacit cooperation of everyone.
Bars of soap are made and piled in the warehouse in the blink of an eye.
Let’s look at Zhang’s Workshop again?
Although these craftsmen look very serious when working, their efficiency is simply as high as the heavens and the earth compared with the craftsmen of Hu's workshop.
Workers here still use the most traditional methods to make soap.
What's even more annoying is that the soap-making tools in Zhang's workshop are basically antiques from the last century.
Just make a bar or two of soap, and these old things will make an overwhelmed sound and then go out of business.
The craftsmen in Zhang's workshop have to stop and repair their tools every few hours.
How could it possibly be faster at this speed?
But no matter what, Zhang Jun has now become Wang Chuan's immediate boss.
Wang Chuan did not want to undermine Zhang Jun.
So Wang Chuan had no choice but to comfort Zhang Jun and said: "Boss, there is absolutely no problem with my soap making method!"
"Maybe your craftsmen are just not very skilled, so they work slowly."
"I believe that when your efficiency improves later, you will definitely make a lot of money!"
