Chapter 1042 Shattered Peace
Fu Jingyou nodded after hearing this, and then said after a little consideration:
"Don't panic if you have a way in hand. Wait until Xiangdong comes back and ask."
They have their own factories and fixed sales outlets, so they have already made some achievements.
But for others, there are still a large number of people who continue to be in a precarious situation because of a lack of opportunities.
What they need to do now is convey their intentions to the connecting partners.
As long as they have the resources in hand, the partners will never miss this opportunity.
Even if there are no conditions, conditions will be created.
Because...
The vitality of the people at the bottom is vigorous and strong.
They are hardworking, conscientious, and have a strong desire for a better life, so they will not let go of any possibility that can bring happiness to themselves and their families.
Fu Jingyou himself came up from the bottom of the struggle, and no one understands it better than him.
He put his arm around his wife and comforted her on her shoulder:
"Don't worry too much. Let's take a look in the next two days before talking about it?"
Lu Miao nodded slightly.
Baichuan was held by his father's arm, and his sleep was not so comfortable and peaceful.
His little brows immediately wrinkled, and he kicked his legs and groaned in displeasure.
Fu Jingyou had no choice but to take back his hand, pat him lightly and look at him.
After rocking the boy until he fell asleep, Fu Jingyou sent him downstairs.
What we discussed the night before was to visit the factory courtyard the next day.
As a result, Chen Xiangdong called first the next day.
Chen Xiangdong came back late yesterday, and the post office was closed when he got home.
Although a telephone needs to be installed in the courtyard of the factory building, this matter has only been listed at the post office and has not yet been implemented.
It was late at night and he was very tired, so Chen Xiangdong did not go far away to find a phone booth. Instead, he called as soon as the post office opened this morning.
There is nothing wrong with the quality of this batch.
There were just a few broken bottles of essential oils at the bottom of the cargo box.
As soon as Chen Xiangdong smelled the strong fragrance when unpacking the box, he felt something was wrong.
When I took out everything later, it turned out to be true.
A bottle of essential oil weighs 50g. Not counting the messy shipping fees, customs taxes, etc., the price alone is one hundred yuan.
The goods that cost 9,000 yuan were only 90 bottles in total. The broken bottles were directly reimbursed for 200 yuan.
Chen Xiangdong was brooding and heartbroken.
Lu Miao could understand, but it was normal for shipping to suffer damage within a month or two.
"Just think of it as a good business and peace. If you have lost it, you have lost it. Don't keep thinking about these things."
Lu Miao comforted her with a few words of comfort, saying that "it's good to open the door", and took advantage of the situation to make arrangements for the follow-up:
"The essential oils arrived just in time. Guangzhou just called and said they wanted to place an order. You know the soap ratio. There is no need to save those essential oils. After negotiating the location with the soap factory, just use the ingredients according to the last ratio to make soap."
"Do them all?"
On the other end of the phone, Chen Xiangdong was extremely surprised:
"With so much essential oil, it would cost only 20,000 yuan to make soap? How much do they want? Can we sell it?"
Lu Miao is confident:
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of two futures at most."
From Cheng Yingjie's words, it is not difficult to judge that they should have stores specializing in related products in Hong Kong.
Because only relevant audience groups can give the most intuitive feedback in the shortest time.
Only when there is a market can there be follow-up.
Otherwise Cheng Yingjie wouldn’t have asked her for several times the amount of goods as soon as he turned around...
Cheng Yingjie was enjoying the meal, so they didn't need to worry about anything.
Even after handing over this batch of goods, it doesn't matter if Cheng Yingjie doesn't want them anymore.
It is indeed much more convenient to have Cheng Yingjie as a partner.
But they couldn't just hang from a tree. Lu Miao thought about it for a while and then brought up the tea seed oil.
Cheng Yingjie wanted 5,000 pieces of tea seed oil soap. To roughly convert it, the raw material tea seed oil would need at least 800 kilograms.
After Lu Miao finished talking about the weight, Chen Xiangdong on the other end of the phone scratched his head and didn't say anything for a long time.
But this is not the end, Lu Miao continued:
"You ask people, if they have a lot, they can just chip in a thousand catties."
In addition to supplying goods to Cheng Yingjie, they also need to keep a batch of goods on hand to sell and maintain their brand.
"...Okay, let me ask first." Chen Xiangdong responded dryly.
Chen Xiangdong subconsciously felt doubtful about this matter.
Not to mention one thousand catties or eight hundred catties, five hundred catties is probably enough.
Thinking about it, Chen Xiangdong asked:
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
"The quantity required is large, so they have to spend time preparing. When is the latest time to deliver the goods? Will it be in time?"
"One month at the latest, right? You can hand over a batch of essential oil soap first. It's okay to hand over tea seed oil soap later... It is expected that it is best to get a thousand kilograms of tea seed oil. If you don't have that, just get as much as you can. ”
"Okay, I get it."
"Yeah."
Lu Miao held the phone and nodded gently. Just as he was about to hang up, Chen Xiangdong asked again:
"By the way, sister-in-law, have those things you made a while ago come to fruition now?"
"Huh?"
Lu Miao was puzzled:
"What?"
Chen Xiangdong said: "It's that lipstick. Didn't you ask me to buy that mold last time? How is it now? Do you have any conclusions?"
"...It's early. I'll let you know the conclusion as soon as possible."
"Oh... okay then."
Chen Xiangdong's voice suddenly became much lower, and he felt a sense of disappointment that his expectations had been dashed.
Lu Miao was amused for a while.
After chatting with him for a while, he said that after the soap was made this time, he should also consider customizing a batch of soap plastic films with their brand characteristics, and then hung up the phone.
The tables and chairs ordered for the craft room have not been delivered yet, and I have been busy with the housewarming party these days.
Lu Miao really forgot about cochineal and lipstick.
Now that the matter was brought up again, Lu Miao couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
When Fu Jingyou went to the station to check the tickets, Lu Miao took the cochineal in cans and bottles and went up to the second floor together with the things he had asked Chen Xiangdong to buy.
There are many steps to convert cochineal insects into natural pigment powder, and she gradually completed some pre-processes herself.
Just do it if you think of it.
After moving the photo frame and hydroponic gardenias on the coffee table in the small hall, Lu Miao moved a small stool and started working.
The cochineal insects have become scabs, so the low-temperature drying step can be omitted directly.
Lu Miao poured an appropriate amount of cochineal into the small stone mortar, fiddled with it with his fingers, and first picked out the more obvious impurities before starting to grind it.
The finer the grinding, the easier it is for subsequent pigment extraction.
Lu Miao's heart sank and slowly began to pound.
At first, the scabs of cochineal insects appear grayish white or grayish brown. As they are slowly ground, the color gradually turns brown.
After waiting for it to be completely ground, Lu Miao took the stone mortar to the large semi-floor-to-ceiling glass window in the living room and took a closer look.
Under bright light, the red color inside the stone mortar is very obvious.
It probably contains a higher amount of pigment, so the color is darker, more of a purple-red hue.
Lu Miao put the stone mortar back on the coffee table, turned his eyes and was about to set up the alcohol lamp and beaker for the next step.
Under the large glass window on one side, there was an extra face.
