Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

"My husband is saying that there may be nobles supporting these traders?"

Then Cao Jie couldn't help but ask Bai Feng.

No one knows the profits of the soap factory better than the nobles, especially the nobles who have invested in the soap factory.

Faced with such a huge profit, but the majority still has to go to Bai Feng, they will naturally feel unwilling to do so.

And after taking a stake in the soap workshop, a large part of the craftsmen responsible for producing soap were provided by these nobles.

For these nobles, it was not difficult to obtain the soap recipe.

So after listening to Bai Feng's guess, Cao Jie felt that it was very possible.

"If that's the case, how should we respond?"

Zhang Qiying, who was about to go to Qingzhou to open a soap workshop and shop, couldn't help but ask Bai Feng.

Diao Chan and Cai Wenji also looked at Bai Feng with worried faces.

After hearing this, Bai Feng first said to Cao Jie:

"Yes, I do have concerns about this."

"If you want to really know whether there is support from the nobles behind those vendors, we need shopkeeper Chen to investigate."

Then Bai Feng turned to Zhang Qiying and said:

"Of course there are ways to deal with it, and they are not very complicated, but we need to invest more money in the soap factory."

Zhang Qiying and Cao Jie both became interested after hearing this.

"The vendors who imitate soaps and sell them must have a higher cost of making soaps than us, and then they sell the soaps at a lower price."

"It's just that the profit margin of soap is very high. Even so, traders who imitate soap can still make a lot of money."

"The key is that if the soap can keep up, it won't worry about sales."

Bai Feng first analyzed to Cao Jie and the others why counterfeit soap vendors were able to make profits.

Then Bai Feng started to talk about how to deal with it.

"Since these vendors are able to make profits from imitation because soaps are highly profitable, then we can use the method of reducing profits to make these vendors lose their profit margins."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Cao Jie and the others suddenly showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Originally, this was a competition between counterfeit soap vendors and soap workshops for profits.

Why do you want to reduce your profits now?

Isn't this the way to injure the enemy a thousand times and injure yourself a thousand and five times? !

Bai Feng naturally saw the confusion and confusion of Cao Jie and others.

So Bai Feng continued to say to them:

"Of course, the reduced profit does not reduce the total profit we get from soap. Don't get it wrong, hahaha!"

"What I mean by reducing profits is to reduce the unit price profit of soap. This part of the reduced profit can be easily made up for."

When Bai Feng said this, the expressions of Cao Jie, Diao Chan, and Cai Wenji turned from worry to joy.

"Husband, please stop showing off here!"

Cao Jie could not wait to know what method Bai Feng used to stop other vendors from imitating soap.

Now everyone starts to act coquettishly.

"Hahaha, don't be anxious, I'll tell you right now."

Bai Feng looked at Cao Jie's charming appearance and couldn't help but smile.

"As long as we continue to expand the scale of our soap factory, we can further reduce the cost of soap production."

"In this way, while reducing unit price profits, we can rely on the increase in sales to obtain more total profits than before!"

After Bai Feng finished speaking, he looked at Cao Jie with a smile.

After hearing Bai Feng's plan, Cao Jie quickly understood what Bai Feng meant.

"Husband, I understand!"

"Although our soaps are cheaper, we can sell more!"

"Unless those counterfeit soap vendors are selling at a loss, no one will buy their soap."

"My husband is really a genius!"

At this time, Cao Jie was as happy as a little girl.

The face was full of smiles, and the eyes looking at Bai Feng were filled with admiration.

The matter that worried her before was so easily solved in Bai Feng's few words.

Liu Li, Zhang Qiying, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji were also convinced after hearing Bai Feng's strategy.

As expected of a gentleman, no problem can faze him.

"Hahaha, that's what you understand by Jie'er."

"So let's build soap workshops in Qingzhou and Xuzhou as soon as possible. At the same time, let shopkeeper Chen conduct a secret investigation to confirm whether any nobles have leaked the soap formula."

"If there are really nobles who dare to do things not according to the rules, then don't even think about making a penny of copper coins through soap!"

At the end of his speech, the smile in Bai Feng's eyes had disappeared.

"Well, I understand."

Cao Jie nodded and said.

After helping Cao Jie resolve the matter, Bai Feng returned to his room to rest.

Cao Jie, Zhang Qiying, Cai Wenji and Diao Chan continued to discuss in the garden how to open soap workshops and stores in Qingzhou and Xuzhou as soon as possible.

It happened that the railway construction in Hanzhong was coming to an end. Cao Jie wanted to go to Yecheng in person at this time, and then to Qingzhou and Xuzhou to preside over the matter.

A month passed by in a flash.

After winter officially entered, the Hanzhong railway was finally completed.

This time, Bai Feng spent nearly half a year building the railway between the nine cities in Hanzhong.

In total, more than 6,000 craftsmen were employed, of which 3,000 craftsmen were recruited from Yizhou, accounting for half of the total number of craftsmen.

If it were not for the success of making explosives, there would not be a mile of railway in Hanzhong now.

"Science and technology are always the primary productive forces!"

Bai Feng, who was inspecting the newly completed railway, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It took three days for Bai Feng to inspect all sections of the railway.

Under Bai Feng's strict requirements, there were no serious accidents during the construction of the Hanzhong railway.

After Bai Feng's inspection, the railway has no problems and can be put into use now.

Bai Feng then began to arrange for the craftsmen recruited from Yizhou to return to Yizhou.

The three thousand craftsmen recruited from Yizhou all felt that they were working too fast and wanted to stay in Hanzhong longer.

The reason is that the treatment given by Bai Feng is very good, and Hanzhong is more prosperous than Yizhou.

These craftsmen recruited from Yizhou saw the more prosperous Hanzhong, and they all enjoyed good food and drink when building the railway, except for Bai Feng's stricter requirements.

When returning to Yizhou, these craftsmen all talked privately that if there was an opportunity in the future, they must settle down in Hanzhong.

Bai Feng now has no time to care about what the Yizhou craftsmen are thinking. What he is most concerned about now is the manufacturing situation of the second steam train in the R\u0026D center.
