At the door of the Cheng family, Cheng Yaojin held Zhang Chao's hand very kindly, but Qin Qiong stood aside and was very calm and calm. Those who didn't know thought that Zhang Chao was Cheng Yaojin's adopted son.

After the last meeting of the tail-burning banquet, Zhang Chao held a simple board of directors with several major shareholders of the Zhang Group. There were a total of seven directors on the board, including two seats for the Zhang family, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Luo Shixin and Li Shiji.

Li Shiji had already set out to Hebei, so only six people attended the meeting. Zhang Chao was very unceremonious and directly gave himself the position of chairman and president. His father was given the position of vice chairman by him, and Qin Qiong was given the label of executive director by him.

My father and Qin Qiong didn't take this vice chairman and executive director seriously, just thought it was Zhang Chao's entertainment. He didn't do it without the process, but he was also a major shareholder, and he owned 10% of the shares. Why did he have no place on the board of directors?

In order to comfort this guy who was always excited to look like a baboon because he washed his face with soap. Zhang Chao had to give Cheng Yaojin another position as executive director.

As for Niu Jinda and the other two, they can only be ordinary directors.

In fact, Zhang Chao's Zhang's company is not listed, so Dong's board of directors is actually entertaining himself. Whether it is the deputy director, the executive director or the executive director, Qin Qiong and others cannot really participate in this actual operation.

However, Zhang Chao still looks very formal. He was just a floppy writer in his previous life. It is rare to have the opportunity to become a successful entrepreneur now, so he should not take the opportunity to show off his addiction.

Of course, the board of directors he convened actually wanted to hand over the soap matter to them.

The soap transaction is Zhang Chao's exclusive secret recipe, but Zhang Chao knows the huge profits of this thing, so he is determined to continue to wear the tiger skins of the five dukes.

"What did you say? A piece of soap costs only more than one hundred cents?"

In the study of the Cheng family, six directors of the Zhang family group were all sitting on the kang in Cheng Yaojin's study. Cheng Yaojin's kang was also repaired by the Zhang family, but it was different from the warm kang built by the people of Zhangjiagou. The kang was built with blue bricks, and the edges of the kang were also made of red sandalwood. The kang mat and kang table were all used for precious things. Not only were there many pastries on the kang table, but there were even Yu Ruyi, who was specially tickled.

Cheng Yaojin was leaning against the small table on the kang, and from time to time Gu Fang touched his much smoother face like self-pity. However, after hearing Zhang Chao report the cost of soap straightforwardly, he suddenly sat down with a loud voice.

"What a joke? How is it possible to have such a good piece of soap cost more than one hundred cents?"

Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Niu Jinda and others also stared at Zhang Chao with wide eyes, looking disbelief. The father was shocked in advance, and the reaction was slightly better at this time, but he still couldn't calm down completely.

If you dare to sell for more than 100 cents, it will be at least fifty times more expensive. It is too unintentional.

"Boy, you even cheated on your own family, right? I booked 100 yuan. You really dare to ask me for 600 yuan!" Cheng Yaojin was ready to rub his hands and showed his white teeth.

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, more than one hundred sips are just the cost of the material, and of course the cost of soap is more than that."

"Didn't you say that the materials are only more than 100 cents? What's the cost?" Luo Shixin asked in confusion.

"Of course there are other costs. First of all, you need a secret medicine, which is hot alkali."

"Does the turbid alkali have anything to do with the platinum you got before?"

"Although the names are similar, they are actually two things. They are both troublesome and they are my exclusive secret recipe." Speaking of this, Zhang Chao said proudly, "Such an exclusive secret is of course of extraordinary value. Using my secret recipe for hot alkali is the cost, right? You said that if I say that the secret recipe fee for each piece of soap is consistent, it is not too much, right?"

Niu Xiu Niu Jinda thought about it and it seemed that it was really reasonable. The secret recipe seems to be worthwhile, but it is the most precious thing. You can't buy it even if you have money.

"Secondly, it is not possible to turn into soap immediately with the materials. We also have to process various materials according to the process formula and then produce them. There are dozens of processes in the first and second, which is very complicated. This labor costs, right? I invite Bailu villagers to work, and I have to book three meals a day and add two liters of millet noodles a day. In short, it will cost dozens of people a day. If you ask for one hundred, you will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars that day."

"It makes sense." Cheng Yaojin nodded as he touched the long beard on his chin.

"And there is a saying that wine is so good that it is afraid of the deep alley. When we have soap, we have to sell it to make money. Otherwise, the more we make it, the more we will lose. We have to ask people to promote it, right? We have to promote it with those pharmacies and let them agree to let us put the soap in their store to sell it? We have to pay for this promotion fee? We have to pay for someone to do sales? We even have to take out some soap as gifts and trial supplies, and give them free of charge to those wealthy families to try it out? These trial samples are also cost money!"

Cheng Yaojin was not fooled by Zhang Chao, "Our soap is so popular today, so why do you need to promote it? By the way, what is that advertisement?"

"Advertising is to advertise our soaps in short, in short, it is to promote our soaps so that everyone can know." Zhang Chao explained, and then refuted Cheng Yaojin, "Our soap does have a good start today, but only a hundred people know today. Even if they go back and pass on word of mouth, how many people can know? Today everyone has booked a lot, which is enough for them to use for a year or even a few years. Could it be that we are doing this business?"

"We have to strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of today's reputation, so that more people can know our soap, sell more soaps, and make more money."

Cheng Yaojin was unaware of his sternness.

He couldn't figure out the business salesmanship, but he thought Zhang Chao's words were reasonable and sounded very powerful.

He didn't think about it, so he didn't think about it. Cheng Yaojin waved his hand, "Then tell me, how much is the cost of this soap? How much profit can a piece of soap be sold?"

"Uncle Cheng, this is how I calculated it. This soap involves the exclusive secret product of huo alkali. Therefore, we calculate it according to the way I cooperated with Fumanlou before. The huo alkali and huo alkali are supplied by my alkaline workshop."

As for the price, the noodle alkali is one liter and two jin. If you charge two jin of the amount of noodle alkali, then spread it into the soap, and Zhang Chao's noodle alkali is only about 80 cents. This is not cost-effective. After all, the soap is more profitable, so Zhang Chao ordered a share of two jin per piece of soap without hesitation.

One code is converted into one code, and the business world must be calculated clearly.

Zhang Chao was willing to give Cheng Yaojin and others half of the shares, but he did not put the things like noodles and fire alkali into the business of everyone, but came out together. It was like a wholly owned company under Zhang Chao's name, or to give an example, for example, Taobao and Taobao use Alipay to make online payments, but Alipay does not belong to Taobao.

The industrial alkali used by everyone, whether it is dough alkali or hot alkali, is bought from Zhang Chao at a price of two jin per liter. This is considered a cost of operation. As for the materials used by Zhang Chao, how much money it costs and how much profit it is, this is Zhang Chao's own business.

After all, it involves Zhang Chao's secret recipe, so Qin Qiong and the others think this is nothing and very reasonable.

A piece of soap pays a lot of money for a lot of money, and it becomes the biggest price to convert it into the cost of soap.

Zhang Chao added the costs of hot alkali, labor and sales, and the final number was three taels of soap per piece, and the final cost was 2,500 ci.

This 2,500-yuan paper includes about 300-yuan sales and operation costs, and the real materials and labor costs are only over 200-yuan. The most expensive one is the simmering money, which accounts for two cents.

"Only two thousand five hundred people?"

Cheng Yaojin originally thought that Zhang Chao had said a lot, so the cost must have increased a lot. Who knew that after a long time, it only increased from one hundred documents to five hundred documents, which left a very wide sales and operation cost. Although the price of Huojian is still divided, the price is 6,000, and the total cost is only 2,500, which is still a huge profit of more than 200%.

"Then isn't our net profit of soap more than twice?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

Zhang Chao nodded. Soap is indeed a huge profit. No matter how much the cost is increased, it cannot be considered too high.

"How could it be so low? No, those pharmacies sell fragrant medicine and facial fat for so many years, and if they make such money, wouldn't they all dare to get rich?"

Zhang Chao shook his head. How can the aromatic medicines and facial fat in the pharmacies compare with Zhang Chao's soap? What materials do the products in those stores use? Pearls, jade shavings, more than a dozen medicinal materials, and more than a dozen flowers. The cheapest ones are bean flour and flour. Where can the things be made for washing hands and faces? They can only be used as snacks and eat them directly.

But what material does Zhang Chao use for soap?

The largest ingredients are vegetable oil residues. The ingredients are made of soybean oil. A pound of soybean oil costs only a hundred cents, while oil residues are cheaper. Secondly, the amount of water is water, which is even more expensive. Animal oil is used more, but Zhang Chao can directly purchase pig pancreas, butter, even pig internal organs, sow meat, blood neck meat, etc. from the slaughter market. No one wants to buy the things that are low prices to boil oil.

For example, butter is rarely eaten by people. This thing can be frozen while cooking it. But there is still a lot of butter on beefs. Usually, butter can only be sold to workshops that make candles, and the price is not expensive.

With a little control, the cost can be reduced a lot, that is, rosin, flavor, and alkali are valuable.

The two products are completely incomparable. Their aromatherapy and facial fat cost 5 jin, and the cost may be 80% or 90%. Then, Zhang Chao's soap costs 6 jin, but the actual cost is less than 10%.

"Dad, adoptive father, Uncle Cheng, Uncle Niu, Uncle Luo, we received a reservation for more than 3,000 yuan today, and the payment for the goods reached more than 20,000 yuan. After deducting our various materials and labor costs, we expect to make a profit of more than 1,700 yuan. If we deduct the share of the hot alkali, we still have a net profit of about 1,200 yuan."

Zhang Chao also put the soap transaction into their partnership transaction, and Cheng Yaojin owns 10% of the shares.

"Doesn't this mean that I made more than 1,200 dan today?"

Zhang Chao nodded to them with a smile, "Yes, you all made more than one million today!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes looked at Zhang Chao hot. Cheng Yaojin has become a new nobleman in the court in recent years with military merits and has received many rewards, but he has paid more than one million yuan in dividends while sitting there, but he has never thought of it, or even dared not imagine it.

"Sanlang, why don't I accept you as my adopted son too?" Cheng Yaojin said as he pulled Zhang Chao's hand.

Zhang Chao refused harshly. He didn't want to recognize so many fathers. Isn't it good to call Uncle Cheng?

"It's okay if you don't want to admit it. In the future, if you are outside, you will report my name to Cheng Yaojin. When something happens, I will personally take action to settle it for you." Cheng Yaojin laughed.
