Chapter 214 Talking about Investment
Yun Fuling stayed in the medicine garden for a few days and watched with her own eyes as each medicinal seedling was planted.
These medicinal seedlings were all cultivated by Yun Fuling in the space medicine garden in advance. They were then passed through several hands using sleight of hand, pretending that they were bought from somewhere else and then transported to the medicine garden.
The roots of the medicinal seedlings were still covered with the spiritual soil in the space, and they were still full of vitality when they were transported to the medicine garden.
After planting, pour a bucket of water on it and it will take root in the soil.
Yun Fuling took a look around and found that all the medicinal seedlings planted were alive.
She also gave Zhuo Lin and others some specific instructions on how to take care of these medicinal seedlings on a daily basis.
He also compiled the key points into a book and left it to Zhuo Lin.
After the matters at the medicine garden were concluded, Yun Fuling returned to the capital.
On the way, she made a special trip to inspect the village where the soap workshop was built.
The soap workshop had just been built and was on track. Xu Dong had been staying here these days, taking charge of all matters concerning the soap workshop.
Upon hearing that Yun Fuling was coming, Xu Dong quickly put down what he was doing, tidied his appearance, and trotted out to greet her.
After the formalities, Xu Donglian took Yun Fuling to inspect various parts of the workshop.
"How much can we produce in a day now?" Yun Fuling asked.
Xu Dong handed the notebook to Yun Fuling, "I can make 300 bars of soap a day, 300 bars of scented soap, and 100 bottles of lotion."
"Everything produced in the past few days has been registered and put into storage. This is the register for storage."
Yun Fuling glanced through the registration book.
Since there are no modern machines and equipment, everything in the workshop relies on manual labor, so the output is naturally lower.
But Yun Fuling was not in a hurry. She thought that one should eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
"The prince has placed an order for 5,000 pieces of soap and body lotion each. You should keep an eye on them and make sure they don't miss the delivery date."
Xu Dong immediately responded with a yes.
Xiao Jingyi placed a large order, so the soap workshop naturally had to rely on him for supply first.
However, Yun Fuling, who had originally planned to open a beauty shop, is no longer in a hurry.
If she doesn’t have enough goods, how can she open a shop?
After returning to Prince Yi's Mansion, Yun Fuling had just sat down to drink a sip of tea when Steward Yuan came over to report:
"Princess, the Fifth Prince's wife has sent people to visit us several times in the past few days."
Yun Fuling nodded slightly and asked, "Did the Fifth Prince's wife tell you what it was about?"
"I didn't mention that." Butler Yuan shook his head.
"I understand. You go down first." Yun Fuling waved her hand.
Butler Yuan bowed respectfully and then left.
Yun Fuling was half lying on the chaise longue and guessed a little bit.
It seems that her beauty shop is about to take shape.
The next day, Yun Fuling was planning to go to the Fifth Prince's residence, but unexpectedly the Fifth Prince's wife arrived first.
Moreover, she did not come alone, but came with the second wife of the Duke of Xiangguo, Mrs. Jiang, and the third wife of the Earl of Dongchang, Mrs. Wan.
After the four of them met, they exchanged a few pleasantries, and the Fifth Prince's wife went straight to the point: "Seventh brother's sister, the soap and other things you sent over last time are actually quite useful."
"Sister Jiang, Sister Wan and I all love it very much."
"Do you have any idea of opening a shop?"
When Yun Fuling heard this, she knew that her previous guess was correct.
The Fifth Prince's wife sent people over one after another, wanting to discuss this business with her.
Moreover, the Fifth Prince's wife took the initiative and eagerly asked for cooperation, so Yun Fuling naturally occupied an advantageous position and took the initiative in this deal.
Xiao Jingyi is still one step ahead.
She had good things like soap in her hands, so there was no need for her to take the initiative to look for others to discuss cooperation.
If there is someone who knows what she is talking about, they will naturally come to her on their own initiative.
Yun Fuling sat on the Diaoyutai and said with a smile: "What if you have an idea? What if you don't have an idea?"
When the Fifth Prince's wife met Yun Fuling's smiling gaze, she suddenly had an epiphany.
With such a good thing, Xiao Jingyi could easily make this business a success just by relying on his power. There was no need to look for other people to form a partnership and share the profits.
But from what Yun Fuling said just now, she didn't directly refuse, which means that the deal can still be negotiated.
It all depends on what chips they can come up with!
It’s not that the Fifth Prince’s wife is too shameless to eat from Yun Fuling’s pot.
The truth was that the Fifth Prince had no foundation, and when he first left the palace to set up his own household, the palace only gave him a settlement fee of 300,000 taels of silver according to the custom.
The Fifth Prince and his wife are not very good at business.
These years, he has relied on his own savings and the annual rewards from the palace.
But the Fifth Prince is a prince, and he always has to attend some necessary social events and spend the necessary expenses.
As the years go by, the family's financial situation becomes increasingly slim.
The Fifth Prince and his wife both felt that they could no longer live off their savings like this.
But the two of them didn't know where to get the money.
The income from the fields in the farm is only enough to provide food and drink for the family.
They didn't know how to run a business, and they lost a lot of money in the beginning. Later they simply rented out all the shops and lived off the rent.
But the rent they collected was not enough to cover their expenses.
Until the day Yun Fuling sent soap and other items.
The Fifth Prince happened to be there that day, and out of curiosity, he tried each one according to the instructions written by Yun Fuling.
After trying it out, the fifth prince felt that this was a business opportunity.
He immediately encouraged the Fifth Prince's wife to go to Yun Fuling to discuss the matter.
He has always followed Xiao Jingyi and has great faith in him.
Since Xiao Jingyi has chosen Yun Fuling and married her as his principal wife, Yun Fuling must be extraordinary.
The Fifth Prince had previously heard that Yun Fuling was not only an expert in medicine, but was also an expert in making medicines.
The pills she made were in short supply at Jishidiang.
Relying solely on her pills, Yun Fuling's newly opened Jishidiang was able to gain a firm foothold in the capital, and her business was booming, making a fortune every day.
Now she took out the soap and other things.
The fifth prince had a hunch that these things would definitely make a lot of money.
If the Fifth Prince's wife could follow Yun Fuling, there would definitely be many benefits.
The Fifth Prince's wife was also moved by what the Fifth Prince said, so she sent a letter to Prince Yi's Palace.
Unexpectedly, I heard that Yun Fuling went to the medicine garden and was not in the mansion for the past few days.
During this period, Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Wan happened to come again. When chatting, they mentioned the soap and other things that Yun Fuling gave them, and they praised them very much.
If this thing were sold on the market, it would definitely be in great demand.
At first the speaker had no intention of saying it and was just speaking casually, but soon the three of them took it seriously.
After the three of them discussed it, they all became interested in this business.
Upon hearing that Yun Fuling had returned home, the Fifth Prince's wife and her two wives made an appointment to come together to see if they could discuss this cooperation.
Unexpectedly, after she opened her mouth, Yun Fuling responded with an indifferent attitude.
The Fifth Prince's Consort and the other two looked at each other, and the Fifth Prince's Consort spoke first, "Sister-in-law, I have a shop on Qingluan Street in the East Market. It has five storefronts, a three-story building, and a backyard. If you are willing to let us join this business, I will give you this shop as a share, how about that?"
