Thinking about it, Fang Chen took a palm-sized piece of soap in his hand and said to Li Yun: "I'm going out, please put these soaps away for me."
After saying that, he took the soap and ran happily into Yanghuafang, came to the house where Ye Xue'e and Hongxiu lived, and knocked on the door.
"Who!"
A wary voice came from inside the house, and Fang Chen said, "It's me, Fang Chen."
The door opened quickly, and Hongxiu looked at Fang Chen strangely: "Mr. Fang, why are you here?"
"I'll give you something nice. Come out with your dirty clothes."
Fang Chen walked in the door as he spoke. Ye Xue'e also heard the noise and walked out. When she saw Fang Chen, she couldn't help but be startled, and then a blush appeared on her cheeks.
"Master Fang, why are you here?"
"I made a good gadget and I need your help to try it."
Fang Chen smiled and looked at Hongxiu: "Why are you still standing there? Go get the dirty clothes quickly."
Hearing Fang Chen talk about clothes, Ye Xue'e sighed secretly, then noticed the soap on Fang Chen's hand and thought of what he said.
"Master Fang wants dirty clothes because of the things on his hands?"
Fang Chen nodded: "This is called soap. I made it. It can be used for washing clothes and bathing. The effect is much better than soap locust. You guys try it."
Hearing what he said, Ye Xue'e and Hong Xiu couldn't help but be curious.
Fang Chen fetched a bucket of water, while Hongxiu went into the house to see if there were any dirty clothes or anything else.
Ye Xue'e looked at the soap soaked in the wooden bucket and asked curiously: "Master Fang, how do you use this soap?"
"Just take it and rub it with your hands, you see."
Fang Chen demonstrated while talking, and a large amount of foam suddenly appeared in the bucket. This surprising scene immediately attracted Ye Xue'e's attention.
"It's so magical! Is this made of soap locust?"
Fang Chen shook his head: "No, but the effect is the same as that of saponin. Hongxiu is here, come and try it quickly."
Hongxiu held a slightly oily rag in her hand, and at Fang Chen's instruction, she began to scrub the rag.
After a while, Hong Xiu picked up the rag and said in surprise: "It's washed so quickly!"
Fang Chen laughed and said proudly: "That's natural, I am the only one in the world who can make this thing. Let me tell you, this thing can also be used for bathing. I will bother you more and send you two yuan later. You guys
Use it and see.”
Ye Xue'e hurriedly said: "How can this be done? Master Fang, this is too precious!"
In Ye Xue'e's opinion, soap locust is only used by rich people. Fang Chen's soap is more effective than soap locust. It must be a valuable thing.
Unexpectedly, Fang Chen laughed: "Why is it expensive? Miss Ye's soap is not a luxury product, at least it won't be soon."
Ye Xue'e was surprised: "Xue'e has never seen this kind of thing before. Since it was made by you, Mr. Fang, it is certainly precious if it is the only one in the world."
Fang Chen smiled. He was in a happy mood at the moment, so he had nothing to hide and told the two women about his plan to use soap to improve the economic benefits of Yanghuafang.
Hongxiu didn't think it was anything, but the extremely smart Ye Xue'e was shocked and said: "What! Master Fang, you want the people of Yanghuafang to make and sell this soap!"
"good."
Fang Chen nodded: "I spent a lot of time shopping in the market today and found that this soap has huge profit margins. A person's life is nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation."
"Leave this soap to the people of Yanghuafang to make and sell it. It won't take long. As long as we can sell the soap, not to mention the entire imperial capital, at least everyone in the outer city will have to come to Yanghuafang if they want to use this soap."
Shop to buy.”
Ye Xue'e looked at Fang Chen blankly: "Master Fang, do you know how much this is?"
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows: "Is this important? Isn't it enough that the people can make money?"
Ye Xue'e hurriedly said: "No, what Xue'e means is that if Mr. Fang sells it yourself, it won't take long for Mr. Fang to accumulate your wealth to an unimaginable figure."
"You also said that a person's life is all about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Xue'e can be sure that this soap will become a necessity for every household in the future. Even if it is sold at a low price, the demand is huge!"
Fang Chen smiled and asked, "Miss Ye, what do I need so much money for?"
Ye Xue'e was speechless when asked, "Is there anyone in this world who doesn't love money?"
She felt that she could not see through Fang Chen more and more.
Fang Chen continued: "Besides my bet with Liu Yuanqing, my other purpose in running Yanghuafang is to make the people of Yanghuafang live well. This is enough. Using this soap to make money is certainly a good idea.
, but it’s not that important to me.”
At this moment, Fang Chen, who originally had a somewhat wretched image in Ye Xue'e's heart, suddenly became taller again.
In an instant, he could even conjure up an image of a contemporary figure who served the country and the people.
Fang Chen didn't notice Ye Xue'e's strangeness and took out the soap and handed it to Hongxiu: "This soap will dissolve in water. Remember to take it out and put it in a dry place after each use. You can use it again later. I also
If you have anything to do, leave first."
When he finished speaking, Ye Xue'e, who was standing aside in a daze, hurriedly said: "Master Fang, wait!"
"Huh? What's wrong with Miss Ye?"
Ye Xue'e said: "I just have something to tell Mr. Fang. Xue'e feels that you are not thoughtful enough to let the common people make and sell soap."
Fang Chen frowned slightly: "How do you say that?"
Ye Xue'e: "Let's go into the house and talk."
Arriving at the house, Ye Xue'e asked Hongxiu to make tea. After seeing Fang Chen sit down, she said: "Master Fang, it's like this. Xue'e believes that soap has huge profit potential. If you completely hand over soap to the people of Yanghuafang
If we come to operate it, I am afraid that not only will we not be able to achieve the results Mr. Fang wants, but we may even be able to make wedding clothes for others."
Fang Chen was stunned, and quickly realized that what Ye Xue'e said was not unreasonable, and hurriedly said: "Miss Ye, please give me some advice."
Ye Xue'e's pretty face turned red: "I don't dare to take it seriously. It's just Xue'e's humble opinion. That's it."
"First of all, this place is the imperial capital. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries. Most of the people in Yanghuafang are ordinary civilians. With such huge benefits, the ordinary people, to put it bluntly, cannot hold it or eat it."
"If you go by what Mr. Fang thought before, then it is very likely that a situation will happen, that is, when some dignitaries realize the profit space behind the soap, they will use coercion and inducement to take the soap from the hands of the people.
, to make money.”
"How can ordinary people defeat them? What do you think, Mr. Fang?"
Fang Chen was full of surprise. He really hadn't considered this before. When he heard Ye Xue'e explain it clearly, he suddenly felt enlightened.
I didn't expect Ye Xue'e to be so smart.
"I've learned a lesson. I really haven't thought about this carefully. After you said this, it is indeed a bit ill-considered."
