HCB Chapter 553: Especially Good at Bluffing
Chapter 553: Especially Good at Bluffing
"I don't know how sincere they are, but as long as there are benefits and the Fu family's reputation, they won't make things difficult for the workshop."
Shen Youyou is very open-minded about this point. Since your own "capital" is not enough to gain other people's attention, you have to give them enough benefits.
This time when she came out, she brought out basically all of her money, as well as most of the money in the hands of the nine clans, because this time, she wanted to make a big splash.
In addition to calcium tablet and cod liver oil workshops, she also plans to open seasoning workshops, dry goods workshops, and plastic packaging workshops.
Even though Kyoto is not far from Zhigu, they don't have the manpower to keep delivering packaging bags and plastic bottles here.
There is no need to talk about cod liver oil. Not to mention herself, even the young men from the Nine Tribes who followed her can make it.
I didn’t plan to make any capsules, although I had seen people make capsules with starch and gelatin in my previous life.
In fact, gelatin is also very easy to make. It is extracted from animal skins and bones.
However, the cost of making capsules is high and the labor consumption is also high, which will undoubtedly increase the price of cod liver oil.
She estimated that cod liver oil and calcium tablets would cost no more than thirty cents per bottle, which would last for about two months.
The main purpose is to make it affordable for everyone.
The packaging is also directly in plastic bottles, but in order to accurately measure the amount of cod liver oil each time,
He would add a straw design to the cap of the cod liver oil, similar to the essential oil packaging of later generations.
Of course, the production of calcium tablets is also the reason why she must come to Zhigu.
Because the calcium tablet she could think of that had the lowest cost and could be mass-produced was made from oyster shells.
Oyster shells are rich in calcium carbonate, which is an excellent source of calcium.
Through a specific processing technique, calcium carbonate can be extracted from oyster shells and made into calcium tablets.
This calcium tablet not only supplements the calcium needed by the human body, but also has certain medicinal value.
According to research by many medical scientists, calcium tablets made from oyster shells can not only nourish the kidneys and strengthen bones, but are also particularly suitable for children with calcium deficiency and osteoporosis in the elderly.
It can also relieve frequent urination and incomplete urination, especially symptoms such as frequent urination and incomplete urination caused by weak kidneys.
It can also be used to treat sore throat caused by internal heat.
As for the production method, it is not complicated.
Wash and dry the oyster shells, which people in this dynasty called oysters. It is best to steam and sterilize them at high temperature and then dry them at high temperature.
After crushing, add appropriate amount of sucrose and starch, then it can be dried and pressed into tablets to make finished calcium tablets.
Therefore, she opened a seasoning workshop at the same time, because oyster shells can be used to make calcium tablets, and oyster meat can be directly used to make oyster sauce.
Our main point is that it cannot be wasted!
Of course, it’s called a seasoning workshop, not an oyster sauce workshop, which proves that her plan is definitely not as simple as just making oyster sauce.
For example, MSG is also one of her purposes this time.
However, she has come up with three recipes for MSG. The cheapest one is to dry mushrooms and dried shrimps, grind them into powder and mix them together.
She estimated the price for this kind of thing to be around ten or twenty coins.
Of course this is a small package. Large packages also come in half-pound and one-pound packages.
The mid-priced recipe is made with mushrooms, dried shrimps, kelp and seaweed, and the price is estimated to be fifty cents per ounce.
There is no way. With the cost and labor of low-priced MSG, there is basically no profit. So if you want to make money, you have to earn it from rich people.
Therefore, there is another type of MSG, which is made from sea cucumber. She intends to make this type of MSG into a premium MSG.
Others are packed in bags, this one is packed in bottles, and the price must be worthy of its specialness.
As for the dried goods workshop, there is no need to say more. There are dried scallops, dried clams, dried shrimps, dried squids, dried sea cucumbers, and kelp shreds.
All kinds of dried fish, in short, as long as they are fresh, they can be made.
She even planned to go back and ask Grandpa Li to reopen the escort company, and for the time being, only go between Kyoto and Zhigu.
First, they can sell the shoe soles, plastic cotton, new fiber cloth and other products produced in Tangjia Village to various places and even foreign countries through the Zhigu sea route.
The second is that the products produced in Zhigu can be transported to Kyoto for sale.
They believe that as long as the workshop in Zhigu gets on track, the business of their nine clans will soon enter a new stage.
Perhaps only then will they be qualified and have the foundation to become a true imperial merchant.
Because these workshops, apart from selling products to ordinary people, have very low prices and low profits, and they follow the principle of small profits but quick turnover.
She will also launch various fine products targeting wealthy households and wealthy families.
For example, let's go for more refined cod liver oil. For example, there are many varieties of deep-sea fish, and there are naturally cheap ones, which must be used to make ordinary cod liver oil.
Of course, if the fish is expensive, the cod liver oil produced will only be more expensive.
Because one meal of a wealthy family costs almost several months' worth of money of common people, it can be said that they are not short of money, and what they need is not the same medicine as common people.
When they buy things, they don't buy cheap ones, they only buy expensive and rare ones.
For items like this, Shen Youyou dares to sell them for ten or twenty taels.
After everything was planned, everyone in Tangjia Village worked overtime at home to produce various exhibits.
Shen Youyou and his team have basically gotten on the right track in Zhigu.
It's easier to get things done if you have money. Magistrate Hu even opened a back door and got the workshop's residential land at a very cheap price.
Sima Jiang kept his word and assigned many prisoners from the army to help them build the workshop.
It is similar to the labor camp prisoners in the previous life, who did not need to be paid, but only provided with food.
But this is already very good for these prisoners, because working for them here means they can really eat well. Although they still eat corn bread, they have stewed fish for every meal.
Buy the cheapest Spanish mackerel and stew more than ten pots at a time.
Shen Fugui brought a dozen boys with him and was responsible for the construction of the workshop and other matters.
Shen Youyou's love workshop this time doesn't plan to be too fancy, it just wants to be practical.
There are rows of large warehouses. For example, the warehouses for making fish oil and oyster sauce are equipped with pots and stoves.
Ovens or drying rooms are used to make calcium tablets, MSG and dried goods.
As for Shen Youyou herself and Grandpa Li, they have basically been running between the two places in the past few months.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Given the temper of her family members, believe it or not, if Shen Youyou dares not to show up at home for a month, not to mention her grandparents, her mother, her brother can always find time to visit her.
If he were someone like his father, he would probably just quit and go to Zhigu.
Fortunately, Uncle Fugui is super helpful. Even if she is not around, he can solve any problems on his own.
It was said that some local tyrants came to cause trouble when they saw them building a workshop. Uncle Fugui was not panicked at all and said something very intimidating:
"Let your boss go to the government office and Sima Mansion to ask who owns our workshop before you come here to order us around."
Although Shen Youyou and Grandpa Li had just returned to Tangjia Village when the incident happened, when she came back again, she listened to Brother Sanzhuang telling her about the situation at that time.
Brother San Zhuang said: "At that time, our Uncle Fugui's aura was just like Uncle San, he looked like a high-ranking official!"
