Mrs. Xie was very busy. Su Wan watched for a while and then left with satisfaction. When it comes to judging people, she is still the one who knows the tricks. She is the one who knows how to do business. Isn't it easy to do business?
Please allow her a little narcissism.
According to what Madam Xie said, Su Wan took Su Chen and Su Yi to the city gate to look for a carriage.
Su Wan was doing business, and Su Chen and Su Yi were just following her. They were just two little followers, helping her run errands and carrying bags. They would go wherever she went, silently protecting her.
The farm where the flowers are grown is about twenty miles outside the city, and renting a carriage for a round trip costs twenty taels of silver.
Renting a very ordinary carriage, the three brothers and sisters staggered on the bumpy road to their destination.
From a distance, I can already smell the fragrance of flowers. When I open the curtains, I can clearly see the farm. The several farms together cover an area of several hundred acres. The mountains and plains are filled with flowers. , various varieties.
Red, yellow, white, pink.
Seasonal flowers in April include peonies, peonies, magnolias, rhododendrons, lilies, and clivias.
Su Wan planned to load two carts of each different variety. After taking them back, they would be distilled into floral dew and mass-produce floral goat milk soap.
The hydrosol of each fragrance is directly extracted from a large vat, so you don’t have to worry about using it.
I randomly found a farmer and discussed ordering flowers with him.
The farmer took her on a walk around his farm, and the flowers in the flower field were in full bloom.
The flower farmer heard that Su Wan was going to transport a large amount of flowers back to Qinghe County, so he told Su Wan about the problems he would face.
Su Wan learned that if these flowers were to be sent back to Qinghe County fresh, they would have to be uprooted.
If there were only flower bones, given the fragility of the flowers, they would have withered before they even reached Qinghe County.
However, Xiangzhou Prefecture is too far away from Qinghe County. Even if the flowers are uprooted, the freshness of the flowers cannot be guaranteed.
However, there are no farmers growing flowers in Qinghe County, so they can only come to Xiangzhou to order.
This matter became a problem that troubled Su Wan.
If she grows flowers by herself, she will definitely not be able to grow them in a short time.
When Su Wan came out of the flower field, his brows were almost knitted together.
Su Chen and Su Yi went in together. They heard what the farmer just said word for word, so they naturally knew what Su Wan was worried about.
Su Wan doesn't want to just make ordinary goat milk soap, she wants to innovate. The most important thing is that the hair soap must use floral hydrosol to make it smell better.
The floral goat milk soap and hair soap can be sold at a high price. Thirty cents a piece is not too expensive. The profits are huge, much more than ordinary goat milk soap.
If she wants to go to the mid-to-high end, she must make floral soaps and hair soaps.
But the current problem is that the flower farm is too far away from Qinghe County and cannot be supplied.
When flowers wither and rot, their smell will be greatly affected, so they must be fresh.
Just when Su Wan was at a loss, Su Yi gave her an idea.
"Wan Wan, in my opinion, if you want to do a good job in the goat milk soap business, it is better to move directly to Xiangzhou Prefecture to set up a workshop and hire people to work. There are large flower fields here and an unlimited supply of flowers. There is no need for you to I spent a lot of time traveling back and forth between Qinghe County and Xiangzhou Prefecture. After the flowers were delivered, I just made them into floral dew, and then made into soap to sell. , Xiangzhou will also be your main business place, since you will move out sooner or later, why not come to Xiangzhou now?"
Su Yi thought that if Su Wan came directly to Xiangzhou to do business, she wouldn't need to travel around a lot, and it would save a lot of trouble.
He didn't want to watch Su Wan running back and forth like this every day, how tiring it was to toss back and forth.
"But Wan Wan just bought the land to plant flowers and build a workshop, and now he has decided to come to Xiangzhou. Wouldn't the land he bought be in vain?" Su Chen considered the effort Su Wan had put into buying the land before.
I rushed to Xiangzhou all of a sudden. Didn't I buy those lands in vain?
"There is nothing wrong with doing business. If you buy the land, you can grow food, so you won't lose money no matter what."
Su Yi saw clearly that if you buy this kind of grain land, you won't lose any money. If you have the land deed in your hand, you will go bankrupt one day, but you can still make a fortune by farming when you come back.
Su Wan listened to what Fifth Brother said and reflected on it. He did not think comprehensively before. He just came up with an idea and hurriedly bought land to grow his own flowers and build a workshop. Now because of the supply of flowers, I got stuck on something, only to realize that my previous decision was full of loopholes.
If you insist on running a workshop at home, not to mention that flowers cannot be delivered remotely, this is already a big problem. Even if Su Wan usually has to go out to talk about something or buy something, it will be inconvenient.
In the countryside, it would be inconvenient for many suppliers to come to her.
"Actually, I just thought about setting up a workshop in the countryside because our new house had just been built and we had only lived in it for a few days before leaving. My parents were reluctant to leave it. That's why I thought about opening a workshop in the countryside. It's true that I didn't think comprehensively enough. In fact, Those fields are not difficult, I can use them for other things, but I’m just afraid that my parents won’t come to Xiangzhou with me.”
Su Wan was a little depressed. She had been too confident before, so when she realized that she had made a mistake in her decision-making, she felt aggrieved.
I am still too young to think about problems and not look at things comprehensively. I have to correct my faults every time I think about them, otherwise I will suffer big losses in the future.
Seeing how disappointed she was, Su Yi pulled her to sit down on the grass on the horizon, and gently removed a dead leaf that accidentally got on her shoulder.
"Wan Wan, you want to do big things. As you said yourself, those who achieve big things don't stick to trivial matters. How can you look forward and backward? You haven't even tried it. How do you know that your parents don't want to come to Xiangzhou with you?
If you think about it carefully, how much trouble would you save if you came to Xiangzhou? Flowers and almond oil are so close that they can be delivered to you on time, so there will be no delay. When you need something, you can buy it in Xiangzhou Prefecture, so you don’t have to look for it everywhere. Another one, you can expand your goat milk soap business in the future. Okay, how can we supply flowers from the three acres of land at home? Not to mention that we don’t know how to grow flowers. If we don’t grow well, it will delay things. Unlike Xiangzhou, there is such a large flower field here. There are flowers for you all year round. Isn’t it beautiful? "
Now, it's Su Yi's turn to explain to her. Su Yi is such a person. He always has a smile on his face, has a very gentle temper, is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and doesn't talk much.
But he was really attentive. He took everything into consideration that Su Wan didn't consider.
Before, when Su Wan wanted to buy land to plant flowers, he wanted to say something, but he was afraid of hurting her self-confidence, so he didn't say anything.
Su Yi thought that if she discovered the problem herself and gained a memory after suffering the loss, she would be able to think clearly before doing something next time. Wouldn't it be more guiding than him deliberately reminding her?
