Soon, the "Soft Soft Cream" soap officially began mass production.

Zhu Houzhao priced "soft cream" at a price of fifteen cents per retail. He believed that after 18 years of Hongzhi resting with the people, although the court had no money, the people would not be able to enrich the people. The purchasing power of fifteen cents was not a problem for most people, especially the people in the capital.

However, Zhu Houzhao no longer cared about the specific management of these soaps. After all, his main responsibility was to rule the entire empire.

Wei Bin was responsible for the sale of "Soft Soft Paste" soap, but he cleverly found his own housekeeper and asked his shop to purchase 10,000 yuan in batches of soap at a low price of 12 cents. He also paid 300 taels in advance as a subsequent soap order.

Qiu Ju, Luo Xiang and other Bahu were also unwilling to fall behind, and asked his shop to find Wei Bin to order goods with a total value of more than 300 taels at a low price.

Because of this, Royal Industries achieved a net profit of more than 400 taels on the first day of its opening.

Wei Bin and Bahu's own shop took advantage of their information to buy "Soft Paste" first, and then directly increased the price of each piece of soap to one or two pieces, which directly increased the price by more than 80 times. Qiu Ju, who was familiar with the production process, even asked his servants to heat the "Soft Paste" soap and re-solidify it into a small half soap and then sell it at a high price of one or two pieces.

Zhu Houzhao naturally guessed their little thoughts, otherwise it would be impossible for Wei Bin to find a partner so soon to order his Royal Industrial soap from batches, and it seemed that he was very clear about his cost price.

But Zhu Houzhao did not expose it. As long as the Royal Industrial Company could still make money, he didn't care that Wei Bin and others would become the first batch of middlemen first.

However, what Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that Qiu Ju, Wei Bin and Bahu all lost money. After nearly half a month, almost no piece of soap was sold.

On this day, Zhu Houzhao called Qiu Ju and told him his intention to build glass.

After all, the current reserve of Royal Industrial Company is more than 100,000 taels, so it is natural to develop glass. Glass is also a simple process product and is also the main manufacturing material for the experimental instruments of the chemical industry and the biological industry. If Royal Industrial Company wants to further develop industry, it is urgent to manufacture glass.

However, at this time, Qiu Ju expressed his opinion: "Emperor, this soap seems to be not profitable. Now you are going to make glass again, so don't be in vain."

"What, soap doesn't make money?"

Zhu Houzhao asked in surprise.

Wei Bin nodded quickly: "Your Majesty, what Qiu Ju said is true. The 10,000 yuan soap ordered by Wei Ji Grocery Store is only sold for five yuan now. There are also several stores that have been contacted before and are unwilling to purchase the goods again."

After Wei Bin said that, he couldn't help but think that it would be a loss to death if he didn't make money! If it weren't for the emperor, you said that you were the biggest boss of this bullshit Royal Industrial Company, I would have asked for compensation directly, and the money was more than 600 taels of silver, all was wasted.

Qiu Ju also nodded, feeling very distressed that he saw the little private officials moving trucks of coal to the mountain. He thought that more than 100,000 taels of silver from the Royal Industrial Company were invested by himself. If you want to buy coal and make a crucible, you can spend your own money!

If the glass I made was not sold for money, I would have to lose my savings for many years.

Liu Jin was also very disappointed with the Royal Industrial Company, but he did not dare to oppose Zhu Houzhao openly, and said: "The Emperor, now the left rank of the court (civilian) of the outside world has a lot of opinions on this. It is rumored that Emperor, you are not doing your job properly. You have been doing some tricks and tricks in the leopard room all day long and abandoned government affairs. I was very angry when I heard this Royal Industrial Company! Why would it be better to stop this? Now our foundation is not stable, so it is not easy to do anything."

Gu Dayong and others also quickly agreed. After all, losing a few hundred taels now is nothing, but they are really worried that the emperor will lose all the tens of thousands of taels of silver he invested in.

Zhu Houzhao only smiled slightly at this time: "Wei Bin, didn't you say you are good at doing business, but you turned out to be a profitable business like this! You are so incompetent! Go to the store of Wei Ji's shop and tell him to spend ten taels of silver to me, and I will keep it to him a way to turn losses into profits. If it doesn't work, I will pay him twenty taels!"

Wei Bin couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that if he could really sell ten thousand pieces of soap, it wouldn't matter if he spent ten taels more. If he couldn't sell it, he would have to pay for his own 20 taels, it would be considered a talk of making up for the loss. So he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty is serious?"

"I am the emperor, how could I lie to you!"

Zhu Houzhao said and returned to the leopard room.

The other "Eight Tigers" did not object, and were watching, thinking, thinking that His Majesty really had a way to turn losses into profits? If so, it would naturally be a good thing, and at least it would not lose so much money in vain.

The next morning, Wei Bin urgently gave Zhu Houzhao silver: "The emperor, Wei Ji shop owner was ashamed of the emperor, so he asked the servants to help convey it. This is ten taels of silver."

"Well, they haven't studied the market thoroughly. The price of this soap cannot be too high. If you think about it carefully, one tael of silver is enough to buy a lot of new clothes. Who would buy a piece of soap? Those who can afford soap for one tael of silver are naturally rich families. But wealthy families change new clothes every day without soap, and they can't get much even if they wash their bodies. Therefore, the main goal of this soap must be aimed at the common people. Fifteen ounces are just right! In addition, people are resistant to new things, so I will give you a way to promote it."

Zhu Houzhao told Wei Bin how.

Wei Bin immediately asked Wei Ji's shop to give away small soap for free according to Zhu Houzhao's method, and then lowered the price to sell only fifteen cents per piece. Soon, on the third day after the free small soap was delivered, six or seven hundred people came to buy soap, and more than two thousand yuan was sold that day.

On the fourth day, all the soaps in Wei Ji's shop were sold out, making a profit of 300 taels! The actual profit was 290 taels! It was already a very profitable transaction in this era.

Wei Bin was so happy that he came to Zhu Houzhao's place the next day:

"The Emperor is worthy of being the Emperor. I really admire him. Wei Ji's shop sold out all the 10,000 yuan in inventory in just four days. Now there are still people waiting to ask for it!"

Seeing this, Qiu Ju and others hurriedly asked Wei Bin privately: "Brother Wei, what method has the emperor told you? It's so effective?"

Wei Bin hoped that Qiu Ju and others could not sell the soap, so he refused on the grounds that the emperor personally taught him and could not be circulated.

Qiu Ju and others had to come to Zhu Houzhao with the money.
