When Lin Jinglei and the others left, they took away more than a dozen soap samples that Duan Wenjun had made before.
Now that they decided to do this business together, they naturally wanted to go back and try it themselves.
The setting of the soap workshop has also been finalized, and the first batch of investment is expected to be one thousand taels of silver.
Lin Jinglei took out five hundred taels, and Ye Ziqi, Wen Zixuan and Luo Yuji each contributed one hundred taels.
This is their entire monthly payment.
In Wen Zixuan’s words, since everyone wants to do business, they must show determination to burn the boat.
At the beginning of the workshop, there will definitely be many places to spend money. If you invest more, you will get more profit.
So, I took out all the monthly money for this month.
Since they no longer have money on their bodies, they no longer have the capital to spend a lot of money, so naturally they will not go.
You can focus all your energy on the workshop and business.
Of course, if needed in the future, their monthly money can be supplemented to start this business as soon as possible.
Because Lin Jinglei paid the most money and Wen Zixuan provided the house in the workshop, they each held 25% of the shares.
Ye Ziqi and Luo Yuji each accounted for 10%.
Although Duan Wenjun only paid a symbolic two hundred taels of silver, he had the largest share, a full 30%.
He also knew that several people were thanking him for asking them to partner together, so he did not refuse.
Lin Jinglei and the others went ahead and made arrangements after leaving Duan Mansion, and Duan Wenjun also started to leave for Lingxiao City.
He knew that by the time he came back from Lingxiao City, Lin Jinglei and the others would be almost ready, and they would probably be busy enough to fly by then.
This soap is not difficult to make. The only key technology is the saponification reaction process.
When the time comes, he must try out this process himself and then teach it to the workers in charge.
After returning from Lingxiao City, it is estimated that Huang Xiaoming will buy the shops around the Duan Family Winery and start building the inn.
The carriage drove slowly on the official road.
This time, Duan Wenjun did not let Duan Xiaoxing and Cuiping follow him, but only took Yuan Gungun on the road.
"Master Duan, am I really relieved to let those young masters do the soap business?" He raised the riding crop in his hand, and Yuan Gagon finally couldn't help but speak.
Duan Wenjun nodded, "That's right! Second Senior Brother, do you have any questions?"
"Is it because this is just a small business?" Yuan Gungun frowned, "But I feel that although the capital investment is not much, there is a lot of room for profit, and you can definitely make a lot of money!"
"Second Senior Brother has a unique vision." Duan Wenjun smiled after hearing this. "Yes, this seems to be a small business, but it is not a small business. It is like a snowball, it can easily grow bigger. Especially, the technical content It’s not high. If you make money, expand immediately and continue to make money. That will double the profit margin.”
Yuan Gungun nodded thoughtfully, "Since it is such a profitable business, why leave it to them? I feel that Mr. Duan handed over this business to them not only for the sake of brotherhood with those young masters, but also for Let’s have another purpose!”
Duan Wenjun smiled when he heard this, "It seems that I can't hide anything from the second senior brother. In fact, this soap business is just a test for me."
"Testing?" Yuan Gonggun was a little confused.
Duan Wenjun let out a long sigh, "Actually, I have always felt that although these people have done a lot of ridiculous things with me before, they are still quite smart. Just like the methods just discussed, it proves that they all have good business talents. , much better than the people outside. If you leave this business to them, you will definitely not lose money."
Yuan Gungun nodded thoughtfully, "But you don't allow them to use the family to interfere in the business. What's going on? These people have agreed to you now, but in the face of the family's interests..."
"What I just told them is true. I just hope that they can make money on their own through this soap business, so that they can improve their status in the family." Duan Wenjun frowned "I It only restricts their family capital from entering our business, but it does not restrict the money they earn from contributing to the family, so there is not much conflict in nature. They earn their own money and can spend it themselves. You can give flowers to the family. In fact, it is part of their family assets, but the initiative is in their hands."
Yuan Gungun looked at Duan Wenjun and showed an intriguing smile, "I think you don't just want them to be admired by their families and people in Wangjiang!"
"Haha, no one knows me better than my second senior brother!" Duan Wenjun laughed. "Yes, this is just the beginning. I told them that our future business will not only be limited to Wangjiang, but also Spread throughout Dashun, and can even be sold to neighboring countries. In this case, it will definitely not be possible with just a few of us."
"It seems that Mr. Duan's calculations are very deep!" Yuan Gonggun also laughed. "If the business becomes big, then it will inevitably need to cooperate with others. At that time, the Ye family's horse team and the Luo family's shipping , this is a convenient place for you to sell things to other places in Dashun!"
Duan Wenjun nodded slightly, "I have such an idea. This is why I don't let them integrate into the family capital. Only by giving them a sense of ownership and making them confident can our business be successful in the long run. To At that time, even if they really cooperate with their family, they will be able to understand their position."
"But having said that, if the major families in Wangjiang can follow suit and become stronger and bigger, then our Wangjiang commercial market will definitely be very active, and it is not certain that we will surpass Lingxiao County City by then. After all, Hello everyone, that’s really good.”
Yuan Gonggun stared at Duan Wenjun, staring blankly, without speaking for a long time.
Such a huge plan and such a far-sighted idea, could a nineteen-year-old boy have come up with this?
Before, Yuan Gonggun was a little unconvinced by Duan Wenjun's theory that he had immortals teaching him in his dreams.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that this seemed to be the only reasonable explanation.
If this were not the case, Duan Wenjun's thinking and business acumen would be unparalleled.
In the evening of the next day, the carriage finally arrived at Lingxiao City. Chai Jingyun had already sent someone to wait at the city gate.
Seeing Duan Wenjun and the others arriving, the waiting people ushered them directly into Prince Rui's Mansion, where Chai Jingyun was already waiting for them at a banquet.
Waiting with Chai Jingyun was a young man in his twenties.
Seeing Duan Wenjun come in, Chai Jingyun stood up in person and welcomed him into the banquet. "Wenjun, I've finally come to you. Come, let me introduce you to Lou Loulou, the captain of the Southern Military Academy."
After speaking, he turned around and looked at the young man beside him, "Loulou, these are Mr. Duan Wenjun and the second senior brother Yujianmen that I often mentioned to you."
When Lou Loulou heard this, he hugged his fists towards the two of them and showed a faint smile.
Hearing Chai Jingyun's introduction, Duan Wenjun couldn't help but be stunned.
He thought the name Yuan Gonggun was novel enough, but he never expected that there would be such a weird name as Lou Loulou in this world.
But he didn't show it on his face, instead he hurriedly returned the greeting to Lou Loulou.
"Yuan Gonggun of Yujianmen has met Young Master Lou." Fang Gungun on the side said, "Last year, Chen Guo's spies entered Dashun and stole the border defense map. Young Master Lou hunted him down alone, killed eighteen people and escaped without hesitation. The border defense map was taken back, but it became a legend in the world. Fang Gonggun is truly lucky to see the true face of the young master today. "
Duan Wenjun was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him a few more times.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Chen Guo sent eighteen masters to sneak into the Dashun border and stole the defense map of the southern border army.
The southern border of Dashun is adjacent to the three countries of Dian, Mu and Chen. If the defense plan is leaked and the three countries take advantage of it, the consequences will be disastrous.
It is said that there was a captain in the southern frontier army who ran for more than 800 miles without sleep for three days and three nights, killing all the spies of the Chen State and successfully recaptured the defense map.
This matter is well known in Dashun, and even Duan Wenjun, the original owner of the body, has heard of it.
However, Duan Wenjun never expected that the famous captain in the southern frontier army would be the young man in front of him, Lou Loulou...
