Chapter 173 Lipstick Is a Big Business
At the same time, the winery will start to make wine.
On this day, Jiang Hao and Jiu'erquan arrived at the wine shop. After a group of people were busy, the clear wine finally flowed out. Jiang Hao took a bowl and took a sip.
All looked at him,
"How do you manage?" Jiu'er asked nervously, because this winery is the hope and future of everyone here.
"It's okay." Jiang Hao gave a good or bad answer.
Others took their bowls to pick up the wine. After tasting it, Erdan's father said, "It's about the same as the 5 yuan a jar of wine on the market."
In the end, Big Brother Luohan came to a pertinent conclusion, "After all this pot is made, there should be a surplus of four or five hundred yuan."
Four or five hundred yuan is not much, which is a kung fu money.
"I think it's okay, it's worse than Shiba Lixiang, but it's okay." Er Zhuang said.
"Bailixiang is sorghum wine. What we are making now is grain wine, and the shopkeeper has the secret recipe of sorghum wine, which can't be compared." Da Zhuang said.
Luohan looked at Jiang Hao and asked with expectation, "The shopkeeper, do you have a secret recipe for this kind of wine?"
Each secret recipe is paired with different wines, and the secret recipe is not so easy to come by.
Jiang Hao smiled and said, "The secret recipe really exists."
He asked the guys to move ten jars of wine to his humble laboratory, and then locked himself in there and fiddled around. After a few days, Jiang Hao finally got out.
A group of old folks gathered around the living room, and in the middle stood a table of the Eight Immortals with a wine jar on it. Jiang Hao grabbed the wine cap, and suddenly a fresh aroma of wine came out. Said: "It smells so good, it smells so good."
Drain a large bowl and fill it with liquor.
"Try them all."
Everyone picked it up one after another, Dazhuang took a sip, and immediately shouted, "Good wine, really good." After speaking, he drank the bowl of wine with a few mouthfuls.
Luo Han took two sips and said, "It smells like a refreshing scent, the mouth is fresh and refreshing, and there is a touch of sweetness. It's really a good wine. If it is said that it has been aged for five years and ten years, there will definitely be people who believe it."
Jiang Hao felt amused,
The fragrance is due to those "esters". Esters are insoluble in water, but easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Lower esters are liquids with aromatic odors, and the fragrance is derived from them.
As for the sweet touch that was once heartwarming, huh, it's the effect of saccharin and sodium cyclamate.
"What do you think of our wine now, it should be able to sell well." Jiang Hao said.
Luohan immediately said: "The previous wine was five yuan a jar, and now this one can definitely be sold for 15 yuan a jar, 20 is possible."
"Okay, all the wines are produced and put into jars and placed in the wine cellar. I will add the secret recipe, and then seal it up for a month, and then I can sell it. When I make money, I will give everyone a bonus." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
The crowd cheered.
Jiu'er also laughed beside her.
That night, Jiang Hao taught Jiu'er how to use additives. He didn't bother to do this kind of tedious and repetitive work, and he had more important things.
whats the matter?
Make lipstick.
At that time, when he returned from the store to the chemical store, Jiang Hao kept thinking about lipstick. Such a simple thing can be sold for such an expensive price. It is absolutely huge profit. It is much easier than making wine. Making money is easier.
Is he short of money?
lack.
The winery and the courtyard have spent almost all the money he brought from Shandong, and now there is some money left to live, otherwise Jiu'er would not be so reluctant to buy a piece of clothing.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sell a dish for dozens of dollars.
Going to the jewelry store, he couldn't afford to buy a piece of jewelry for Jiu'er. He was very depressed. He was a traveler, how could he let money stumped him.
In the chemical store, Jiang Hao just bought a few materials needed to make lipstick. These days, he got alcohol additives and didn't care about other things. Now that things in the winery are arranged, Jiang Hao remembered this again.
Jiang Hao plunged into his humble laboratory again.
How to make lipstick, it's not too simple, come come, I will teach you now.
Use olive oil or sweet almond oil, add an appropriate amount of lipstick powder, you ask what is lipstick powder, in fact, it is powder ground from various petals, such as rose petals, peach petals, cherry blossom petals, he doesn't have this stuff now, then use Rouge powder instead, better.
Then grind with a fine bristle brush to fully blend the lipstick powder with the oil.
Then add fat and beeswax.
What are you doing, moisturizing.
Now put the beaker on the alcohol stove and simmer slowly over low heat, no, it is heated over water to fully melt the fat and beeswax.
If you want a fragrance, you can add some essence or flower wax now. If there is a vitamin E capsule, squeeze two drops. Unfortunately, it is 1935. It will not be until 1938 that Switzerland will make a vitamin E synthetic agent, but this thing has No big difference.
The last step is to pour the lipstick solution into the mold and wait for a few minutes to solidify. At this point, a lipstick heart is ready.
Perhaps the only difficulty is to master the material ratio and temperature.
These may be secret technologies in the Republic of China, but on the modern Internet, there are a lot of searches, and there are hundreds of methods.
Jiang Hao made 10 lipsticks at a time. After waiting for ten minutes, he started to open the mold and gently took out the lipstick heart inside.
Go to the house, in Jiu'er's vanity box, find the American lipstick that she bought for Jiu'er last time. After Jiang Hao brought it back to Jiu'er last time, Jiu'er liked it, she used it carefully, just painted it. Only twice.
After comparing the two, Jiang Hao couldn't help but praise.
"Perfect!"
Remove the original lipstick, put on a lipstick heart made by yourself, and drag Jiu'er, who was in the yard with the soles of her shoes, to the vanity mirror, "Jiu'er, how about trying this lipstick."
Jiu'er looked at it, "Isn't this my one, ah no, the one I used, this is a new one."
"Try it."
Jiang Hao urged.
Jiu'er lightly smeared it on her mouth, and her little mouth became brighter, Jiu'er said, "It seems to be a little darker than the last one, but it's also pretty, and it's moist, dry, and sweet. taste."
"I'll try it," Jiang Hao leaned over.
"It's expensive to paint the lipstick that I just painted, and I have to repaint it." Jiu'er complained a little.
"Hehe, don't worry, this thing, you can have as many as you want in the future." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
Now that the lipstick is made, as for the cost, the cost is nothing at all, and the outer packaging is much more expensive than the lipstick.
He asked someone to customize a batch of colored glass shells for infrared packaging, which looked much more high-end than the copper shells of foreigners. What American products, international brands, they made them look like brass bullets, look Let this, this is called art, this can attract women.
Jiang Hao is going to do lipstick business, he thinks there is a lot to do.
Although it only comes for three months at a time, the world is fixed and exists forever. He needs to manage his business well. Now, for him, he needs money.
Even if he is allowed to fly to other countries, he has to be able to afford a plane, right?
Hehehehe!
In this era, Chinese people are not popular, and foreigners have their own halo in China. Jiang Hao put his idea on George, and George has the relationship with his cousin, which is definitely a good tiger skin.
Jiang Hao talked to Jiu'er, this time he brought two guys and a car to Rongcheng for the second time. As soon as he arrived in Rongcheng, he went straight to the George Chemicals Store.
Jiang Hao came over and asked the guy to inform George. When Jiang Hao saw George coming downstairs, he smiled and said in English, "George, do you remember me?"
"Of course my friend, are you here to buy again?" George stepped forward and shook hands with Jiang Hao enthusiastically.
"It's really here to buy." He took out a list and handed it to George. George looked at it. It was similar to what he asked for last time, but the quantity was much larger. He turned around and gave it to the man to prepare it. people do it.
"It's better to go upstairs and sit. There is a tea room above me, and good friends will drink tea there when they come over." George invited.
"Of course."
After the two sat down in the tea room, George made tea, and Jiang Hao said, "George, I brought something here this time."
"What?" George asked curiously.
Jiang Hao opened the delicate gift box in his hand, revealing a row of small colored boxes inside, George looked at it for a while, "What is this, I can't see it."
Jiang Hao picked up one, opened the package, and revealed the lipstick inside. George said in surprise, "Jiang Hao, did you get the wrong gift? I don't like lipstick."
Jiang Hao smiled, "No, this is not for you."
"Could it be my wife, do you know her?" George asked, staring at Jiang Hao.
"Of course I don't know, George. I made these lipsticks myself. I brought them here so you can see how they look." Jiang Hao said.
"You made it yourself, oh, do you have a secret recipe for lipstick? It won't be rumored, how did you master it." George said, picked up a lipstick, looked at it, and said, "I don't understand very well. These, but they look good, by the way, I can let my wife take a look."
Having said this, George shouted loudly, "Linda, can you come over?"
Not long after, a tall and slender woman walked out of the back room. She looked pretty. Her brows and cheekbones were slightly prominent. In Jiang Hao's opinion, she was not a beauty. Maybe there are differences in aesthetics between the East and the West.
"This is my Chinese lady, Xu Lin, whose English name is Linda." George introduced.
"Hello Linda," Jiang Hao greeted politely.
"Linda, come and see how these lipsticks look," George said.
The woman looked at the box and saw the delicate colored glass case, and she liked it very much. She opened the lipstick and smelled it, "The scent is really good, better than the ones I used."
I smeared it on the back of my hand again, and then I couldn't wait to walk into the room. When I came out after a while, I saw that the lipstick color had changed on the woman's mouth. The woman said with joy: "George, where did you buy these? The lipstick is amazing, it's rich and smooth, better than the American brand I've used before, and it doesn't like to fade."
"Oh, these lipsticks are made by this Mr. Jiang. It seems that he made a good thing. At least my Linda likes it." George said.
"Since Madam likes it, these lipsticks will be given to Madam." Jiang Hao said.
The woman happily took the lipstick and left, leaving only two men. George looked at Jiang Hao with great interest and said, "Jiang Hao, you came to me, I'm afraid it's not just for a few lipsticks."
"George, what do you think about our lipstick business? Will it be more profitable than your chemical store?" Jiang Hao said.
George's eyes lit up at once, "You mean, do this business with me, the lipstick business?"
"Yes, I have a hunch that lipstick is a big business."
