City: I, the God of Cooking!

To be able to experience going to the countryside is to be a very old intellectual. Although Meng Zhan has not studied much, the Confucian temperament given to him by Long Zaitian is very comfortable.

"Hello, Uncle Long." Meng Zhan said.

Long Zaitian asked with a smile: "Where did you get your orchids?"

"This..." Meng Zhan couldn't tell the place of origin for a while.

"That's right, I saw this kind of flower when I was young, it's very important to me." Long Zaitian said solemnly.

Meng Zhan was surprised, Xue Youlan undoubtedly came from another world, Long Zaitian had seen it before, could it be that he has been to another world?
"Where have you seen it?"

"It's like this, many years ago..." Long Zaitian narrated what happened many years ago.

It turns out that many years ago, Long Zaitian and Li Yun's father were both young people with no background. How hard is it to achieve a career?
Fortunately, they rescued a mysterious woman who was seriously injured. In order to repay their kindness, the woman took out many precious gems, the quality of which was unique in the world. They sold these gems, opened up a relationship, and returned to the city , and then use the principal to do business, and today Li Yun's perfume company is established.

Meng Zhan was curious, "Can you describe the appearance of the gemstone to me?"

"Back then we left a gemstone as a souvenir, and I brought it here specially today." Long Zaitian took out a handkerchief from his arms. It was a very old checked handkerchief, which was slightly yellowed and looked old.

After unfolding the handkerchief, a transparent purple gem appeared in front of Meng Zhan.

Meng Zhan was taken aback, isn't this the magic spar?

"Host, this is not a magic spar, but an extremely rare amethyst gemstone in the magic crystal mine, which contains a hundred times stronger magic power than the magic spar."

After listening to the system's explanation, Meng Zhan suddenly realized, and asked, "How many magic crystals can this one be exchanged for?"

"According to the magic power conversion, it is one to one hundred, but this kind of gemstone is very rare, and it is considered a high-grade gemstone in another world, so it is often not used as a magic spar, but as an ornament."

Meng Zhan nodded slightly. It seems that the mysterious woman came from another world. Otherwise, how could there be amethyst gems?
Long Zaitian asked: "Have you seen this kind of gem?"

Meng Zhan nodded slightly: "This is an amethyst gemstone, which is rare."

Long Zaitian excitedly said: "Then can you tell me where this ore is produced? I don't want to make a fortune from it, but I want to know the information about that woman back then."

Meng Zhan didn't expect Professor Long to be an infatuated species, so he said: "This kind of gemstone usually appears in extinct volcanoes, and there is no specific place of origin."

Long Zaitian was very disappointed.

"Sit down and chat." Li Yun smiled and refilled a cup of tea for Meng Zhan.

Meng Zhan thanked him and asked, "Professor Long, do you have anything else to ask me?"

Only then did Long Zaitian put down the amethyst gem and said with a smile: "I want to know what technique you used to preserve the fragrance of the orchid?"

Meng Zhan picked up the teacup, didn't drink it after hearing this, put it back, and said, "Isn't this simple?"

Long Zaitian smiled wryly: "Simple? I have been fighting with the researchers in the laboratory for several days and nights, but I can't do it."

"what happened?"

"The orchid has a very specific floral scent that changes chemically once it's extracted."

Meng Zhan nodded slightly, "Since it's like this, it's fine to make it into a sachet, why must it be made into a perfume?"

The aroma of Snow Orchid lasts for a very long time.

If made into a sachet, the scent of flowers can be preserved almost forever.

Li Yun and Long Zaitian fell into deep thought.

"It makes sense. Sachets have existed since ancient times, but they were gradually replaced by perfumes. We can restart the culture of sachets and form a unique style of the company." Long Zaitian thought deeply.

Li Yun pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, the equipment in the factory will have to be replaced with new ones."

For an orchid as precious as the Snow Orchid, high-precision instruments are required, and they must be customized. The value of a machine may be comparable to that of a sports car.

If you get dozens of units, it will cost hundreds of millions.

If the sales volume is good, it will take time to pay back the cost. If the sales volume is not good, the company is bound to lose a lot of money.

Most importantly, it will take time for the machine to be developed.

The release date of the new product is just ten days away, and it is already too late.

As the chairman of the company, you must consider everything comprehensively.

Such a big decision needs to be discussed with the company's board of directors. Based on Li Yun's understanding of them, they definitely do not agree to take risks.

Even if no new products are launched this year, they will never agree to spend a few hundred million to try and make mistakes.

Lin Fengjie said: "I can support you, but in the worst case, I will pay for it."

Li Yun shook her head, "The cost of trial and error is too high."

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Meng Zhan said: "It's better to make sachets by hand at the beginning, so that you can save a lot of money."

In China, labor is definitely the cheapest.

Only a few thousand yuan a month is needed to recruit enough manpower, and the remaining money can be used for publicity.

Li Yun's eyes lit up when she heard this, "This method is good, I can recruit workers to prepare for production now, but the raw materials..."

Their eyes fell on Meng Zhan, and the raw material was the most important thing.

And Meng Zhan just happened to have a way to cultivate the snow orchids infinitely, so he was worried that he couldn't find a market.

"I can guarantee enough raw materials, at this price..." Meng Zhan tapped his fingers on the table.

Snow Orchid is extremely precious in the real world. If you sell it as an ornamental flower for 10,000+, it should be considered cheap.

However, Li Yun's perfume costs only a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars per bottle.

The best-selling perfumes are those priced in the thousands, and not many people buy those priced above [-] yuan.

Because of that price, ladies generally choose well-known foreign brands.

Li Yun seemed to have made up his mind a long time ago, so he said confidently: "The net profit of this sachet is four or six for us, and you six for four."

The raw materials in Meng Zhan's hands can be said to be endless, and he even has the principal to hire people to make sachets, but he does not have the time and energy, and the more important point is to promote resources.

No matter how good your stuff is, in this era of advanced Internet, you will be submerged in the massive amount of information.

Therefore, if Meng Zhan really wants to do this business alone, the biggest expense may not be the development cost, but the promotion cost.

Black Snake Fruit Wine is a good example. If it weren't for a knowledgeable person like Mr. Qin, those wines might have been thrown into his hands.

But using Li Yun's resources can save a lot of costs, because Li Yun's company itself has a brand effect.

Meng Zhan nodded, "Okay, but instead of four or six, we'll split five or five. I'll be responsible for providing the raw materials, and I'll leave the rest to you. What do you think?"
