dream of red mansion

"Also, what's more... the third girl seems to be having a bad time recently..."

Chapter 64 Soap Scale Up

"What's up with her?"

Hearing Peifeng say that Tanchun is not going well, Jia Qing is a little surprised.He didn't see any clues today, what's going on?

Peifeng slightly turned her body and said in a low voice, "I heard that Aunt Zhao asked the third girl to beg for silver flowers..."

"Oh?"

"I don't know the details, anyway, my aunt said she was short of money to spend, and wanted to get some money from the third girl, but the third girl couldn't give her anything, so she went to the third girl's room every day to make trouble.

Second master, do you think it's funny or not, the third girl is only this old, other parents are thinking about buying more for their girls at this time.It's a coincidence that there is someone like her, not only does not buy more, but also wants to get money from here, really! "

It turned out to be Aunt Zhao who was hated by everyone in Jia's mansion!Then there is nothing incomprehensible. If that person expects her to be reasonable, it will be more difficult than going to heaven.

Maybe it's been a year, the girls in the mansion have received many rewards from Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, and they are jealous of the rewards in Tanchun's hands.

The truth is the same, but there is another reason for it, and it comes from Jia Huan, who is Tanchun's younger brother and Jia Zheng's concubine.

Originally, after a year, the sisters were quite well-off, so they naturally wanted to send some gifts to each other to show their closeness.

Tanchun did not forget about Jia Huan, and bought him some books and a pen holder, hoping that Jia Huan would be able to study well in the future.Who knows that Aunt Zhao has shallow eyesight, and when she heard that Tanchun gave Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu and others either rouge or hairpins, and seeing that Jia Huan had only got such worthless things, she immediately became furious.

In her heart, all Tanchun's things should be given to her younger brother Jia Huan, and others are just elbows out.

She thought, anyway, it was just taking advantage of outsiders, so she simply asked for it herself.So she said that she had taken a fancy to a hairpin in Zhenbao Pavilion, but she was short of 20 taels of silver, and asked Tanchun to lend it to her first.

Where did Tanchun have so much cash for her, and explained that he did not.Aunt Zhao didn't believe it, so she came to the door to beg for it again and again to no avail, and she didn't have any self-cultivation, so she said all the nasty things.What ungrateful, clinging to his wife and so on.

No shame at all.

This kind of harm from close relatives is unbearable for many adults, let alone a girl who is only seven or eight years old in Tanchun.

But she has a strong temper and is unwilling to show weakness in front of others.So when she was with Jia Qing and others today, she acted very ordinary, she was afraid that Jia Qing would look down on her because of this!

But as Daiyu said, it's not easy for others to manage this kind of thing.Jia Qing also just thought that if the time is right, she might as well help Tanchun.

"Okay, it's not a big deal. Why think so much, let's go to sleep."

As he spoke, he tightened his grip on the beautiful woman in his arms, and stopped talking.

……

The next day, before dawn, Jia Qing got up.

Did sleep well last night.

After washing up, I went to Jiamu's place to ask for Ann, and then I went back to my courtyard.

Not long after, a woman told her that someone was looking for her outside the second door, so she went out.

After leaving the Chuihua Gate, I saw Li Yan waiting for him there.

"what's up?"

Li Yan bowed respectfully before saying: "Go back to Second Master, it's Boss Shen who's here."

Since Jia Qing bought the yard in the back street, he told Shen Congcheng not to go to Ningguo Mansion to look for him, just send someone there to talk to him if there is anything to do.

He came at this time, most likely to tell him about last quarter's dividend.

When we arrived at the courtyard in the back street, as soon as we entered the main hall, we saw Shen Congcheng sitting on a guest seat drinking tea.

"Brother Shen can send someone to give instructions if you have something to do, why did you come in person?"

Shen Congcheng stood up with a smile and said, "Oh? Could it be that my brother doesn't want my brother to disturb my leisurely life, so I don't want to see my brother."

"Where is it, I just feel that Brother Shen is busy with business, so he shouldn't come to my place to waste time, and the younger brother should come to the door in person."

Seeing that Jia Qing's words did not show any weakness, he praised secretly in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Okay, let's not be polite. But I didn't wrong you when I said that my brother is leisurely, my brother has been busy these few months. It’s broken, and they are still busy building workshops outside Beicheng during the New Year’s Eve.”

Jia Qing was surprised and said: "I remember that my brother built a workshop at the address of the original cloth workshop? Why did you start busy building outside the city so soon?"

Shen Congcheng said: "Oh, dear brother, you don't know. At first, I thought that the soap was just sold, so the demand should not be very high. After the first batch was made, I put it in my cloth shop and sold it. There is no publicity, but the price is set at a low point, and I plan to raise the price after I become famous.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, the reputation of this soap spread throughout the capital, and many people came to buy it.As a result, the cloth shop was very busy.

Seeing this, I opened three separate shops in Beijing and Zhongzhong, dedicated to selling various soaps, and began to increase the price. "

Well, it seems that the launch of this soap is going well.

"What's the price now?"

Jia Qing asked.

Shen Congcheng was obviously still a little surprised at the competitiveness of this new thing. Hearing this, he sighed and said, "I think you know the cost of this soap. Although it is more troublesome to make caustic soda, it only costs more manpower and does not cost much. However, now I have raised the price of the cheapest soap to four taels of silver, and I even priced the best one at ten taels of silver, but the supply is still in short supply!

So, I had to build a workshop again.It's just that I originally only had three cloth workshops in Beijing, and now I'm a little tight without one.As a last resort, I had to build a large workshop outside the city to avoid trouble in the future. "

Zizi, ten taels of silver a piece, isn't that more expensive than silver?However, there are a lot of rich people in Beijing, so no one cares if they like to show off.

Watching Shen Congcheng tell these things one by one, Jia Qing had to admit that he was impatient to deal with these things, it was very complicated.He is thankful that he has found a hardworking partner.

"Brother Shen doesn't need to tell me about these business matters, and my younger brother doesn't know much about them. I only have one thing to say, that is, when this business gets bigger, the job of keeping secrets will become more difficult.

Once a second soap workshop appears in central Beijing, our profits will be cut in half at least instantly. "

Shen Congcheng also said solemnly: "It's more than half. I've heard the news a long time ago that more than one family is eyeing our business.

Fortunately, the person I'm looking for in the court is very important this time, so it's okay for a while.It's just this confidential work, I will definitely try my best to do it well.

It was really leaked, and I also thought about countermeasures.

We have already taken the first share of the pie, as long as we do our best, those who come later will definitely not be able to surpass us!Moreover, people in Beijing are used to buying soap from us. I have decided to gradually abandon those low-level soaps and focus on making better soaps.Slowly everyone thought that only my Shen's soap is the best!Everyone else is imitating. "

This ancient man is really not to be underestimated. Isn't this the same principle as building brand effect?In this era without property rights, doing so can indeed protect one's own interests to the greatest extent.

"In addition, as long as I give me another half a year, I can completely occupy most of the soap business in Beijing. At that time, someone will imitate it. At most, I will give up some low-end business and let them do it. In the end, they will Finding that they can't make much money in the capital, according to the usual practice, they will go to other places to do it.

However, there are hundreds of cities and tens of millions of people in the territory of Dachu, so this business has a lot to do.But, it doesn't affect us much.It is enough for us to occupy the share in Beijing and China, and it is enough to occupy some from Chang'an, Nanjing, etc. If there is more, it will not be enough for us. "

Shen Cong became a Taoist.

Hearing these well-founded words, he knew that Shen Congcheng had already considered everything before and after, so he didn't have to worry about it, so he put back his original worries and asked directly: "Brother Shen What is the purpose of coming here this time?"
