Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Bai Feng accompanied Cao Jie and walked carefully around the soap production workshop.

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji held paper and pen behind them and wrote down the key points that Cao Jie said one by one.

Bai Feng said nothing to interfere with Cao Jie's thoughts.

When he said that he would hand over the soap production workshop to Cao Jie, Bai Feng would not interfere casually.

This also hopes that Cao Jie can participate more in his career.

Now the people around Bai Feng who can really be trusted can be named through the system, and the first one on the list is Cao Jie.

Although by solving the Xianbei people's problem, the relationship between Bai Feng and Cao Cao eased slightly.

But this is only the situation at this time. After Bai Feng builds the steam train in the future, no one can say whether the relationship between him and Cao Cao will change.

Therefore, Bai Feng now needs to train Cao Jie to help him manage these businesses and ensure that the R\u0026D center will have sufficient funds in the future to continuously invest in the research of new technologies and products.

Now Bai Feng is no longer satisfied with making the lives of the people of Hanzhong and Yamatai better.

He wanted to actually do something that would have a significant impact on the future direction of history.

Steam engines and steam trains both started.

Although Bai Feng didn't know to what extent he could develop the productivity of the entire Wei Dynasty in his lifetime.

But no matter what, Bai Feng will try his best.

Bai Feng, Cao Jie, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji did not leave the soap production workshop until noon and returned to the Hanzhong Hou Mansion.

"Husband, I already know the operation of the entire soap factory."

“Now it’s not just officials and wealthy people in Hanzhong who are starting to use soap in their homes.”

"Even the scholars and ladies in Yizhou began to use soap as a washing product."

"We only rely on one soap production workshop, and we can no longer meet the increasing number of orders."

In the study room of the Hou Mansion, Cao Jie took out an order and placed it in front of Bai Feng, and then spoke slowly.

After Bai Feng took the soap order, he found that in addition to the local Hanzhong nobles and wealthy businessmen, there were also many names of Yizhou nobles and wealthy businessmen.

"So many families have started ordering soap from us?"

Bai Feng did not expect that Cao Jie had promoted soap so well according to the "lady's route" idea he provided to her.

Not only in Hanzhong City, but also in Yizhou, the use of soap became popular.

What Bai Feng still doesn't know is that among the nobles in Yizhou, if any family can use soap, it is not only a symbol of financial resources, but also a symbol of status.

If you don’t have a few relatives and friends in Hanzhong, there is really no way to buy soap from other channels.

The soaps produced in the soap workshops in the north of the city would be snapped up by Hanzhong gentry and wealthy businessmen as soon as possible.

Otherwise, Cao Jie wouldn't have so many orders for soap.

"The soap promotion you did in Jie'er is really great. I didn't expect the effect to be so good!"

The more Bai Feng placed this soap order, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but praise Cao Jie again.

"With soap alone, the entire Hou Mansion can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year!"

The profit of tens of thousands taels of silver is not a small amount for Bai Feng.

He built a research and development center, then recruited craftsmen, provided canteens and dormitories, as well as various tools and ores for making steam engines.

It only cost more than three thousand taels of silver.

After hearing Bai Feng's compliment, Cao Jie said to Bai Feng with a smile and confidence:

"The price of soap has not increased yet. It is still one tael of silver per piece."

"But I once heard Mrs. Li say that the soap flowing into Yizhou now has been sold for ten taels of silver. Even if the price is ten times higher, there are still nobles and wealthy businessmen who can't buy the soap."

After Bai Feng heard the news about Cao Jie, he couldn't help but lower his head and think deeply.

Since someone spends ten times the money to buy a piece of soap, it shows that the soap is really useful and very popular among people.

This is also an important reason why Cao Jie is eager to build a soap workshop.

"Husband, I think we can make adjustments to the existing price. Our soap can be sold for more money!"

Cao Jie said this, becoming more and more confident.

However, Bai Feng's idea is slightly different from Cao Jie's.

"Jie'er, I think increasing the price of existing soaps will definitely bring us greater benefits in the short term."

"But in the long run, it would be better for soap to remain at the current price."

Cao Jie didn't come first. Why did Bai Feng suddenly become conservative now?

Bai Feng naturally saw the puzzlement in Cao Jie's eyes.

Then Bai Feng began to explain to Cao Jie:

"Sooner or later someone else will crack the recipe for making soap, and it seems to me that soap's gravitational powers are pretty strong though."

"But we also have to consider that the more expensive the soap is now, the more people will be attracted to imitate the soap."

Before Bai Feng finished his analysis, Cao Jie had already understood Bai Feng's intention.

"In your opinion, besides increasing prices, are there any other good ways to expand the scale of soap production?"

Since Cao Jie took over the soap production workshop from Bai Feng, he began to think about the future development of the soap workshop.

But I don’t think she has a clear development path yet.

"In my opinion, the price of this soap cannot continue to rise, and the price of the existing soap should even drop again until some well-off people can afford it." Bai Feng said to Cao Jie. Before, Bai Feng really didn't want to interfere with Cao Jie's arrangement and operation of the soap production workshop. But on such an important matter of development route, Bai Feng still had to make it clear with Cao Jie. Cao Jie was a little confused when he heard Bai Feng say that not only should the price not be raised, but it should also be reduced. What kind of operation is this? "Husband, you have to explain it to Jie'er in detail." Cao Jie sat next to Bai Feng, intending to listen to Bai Feng's arrangement for the soap. "Soap is now popular throughout Yizhou, but I think soap should eventually become an affordable daily cleaning product for all the people of Wei."

"So the price of some soaps must be cheap enough."

"But the soaps sold to the children of the gentry and the wealthy businessmen must be differentiated!"

"We can divide soaps of different qualities into different prices."

"In this way, the people can afford soaps, and the gentry can use good soaps!"

Bai Feng began to explain to Cao Jie his ideas about the soap market route.
