Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

How could something worth only a penny or two earn ten thousand silver dollars?!

It should be noted that one silver dollar currently has the purchasing power to buy 25 catties of rice.

One hundred silver dollars is enough for a normal family of five to live on for a year.

The soap factory has only been open for a month, yet it has already earned 10,000 silver dollars in sales?

Even after deducting equipment, raw material, and labor costs, it's still a huge sum of money after the calculation!

"Brother Ye..."

Ye Bai nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the financial report.

After smiling, Ye Bai fell into deep thought again.

Our current production capacity is limited.

That's all the money I can earn.

At this moment, Ye Bai had already begun to think about the recycling of by-products within the factory.

It's important to know that soap production always generates some byproducts, the most common of which is glycerin.

And isn't glycerin the most important raw material in skincare products?!

Thinking of this, Ye Bai's lips curled up even more.

No matter the era, women's money is always the easiest to earn.

Chapter Thirteen: A Powerful Blow – Luo Zhan Sells Himself to Save His Mother!

"The soap factory is running smoothly, and the new factory buildings are under construction..."

At this moment, Xiao Aqiao was earnestly explaining the business situation to Ye Bai beside her.

Previously, the soaps and soap flowers produced by the soap factory were very popular, and they were basically sold out on the same day they were put on the shelves.

After its reputation spread, not only local customers, but even some businesses from other provinces came to visit.

They are currently arranging for the expansion of their soap factory, planning to add several more production lines on the adjacent wasteland to meet the continuous stream of orders.

Ye Bai turned to look at Xiao Aqiao. During this period, Xiao Aqiao had been in charge of all aspects of the factory's operation and management. At this time, she had already developed a decisive and efficient temperament, and she even vaguely resembled the eldest sister.

Ye Bai nodded in satisfaction, then smiled and praised, "Little A Qiao, you've worked hard."

Upon hearing this, Xiao A blushed instantly, and a sense of accomplishment from being recognized welled up within her.

A new ambition unconsciously emerged, and she blurted it out.

"I can do many other things! You can leave everything to me!"

Seeing Xiao Aqiao's excited expression, Ye Bai immediately remembered the plan he had prepared earlier.

The soap factory is doing well, which is equivalent to providing new capital.

On the other hand, glycerin, a byproduct of soap production, can be processed multiple times and recycled.

It seems that the idea of ​​building a chemical plant can be put on the agenda.

After reviewing the entire plan without missing anything, Ye Bai turned and spoke.

“I plan to buy 100 acres of wasteland outside the city to continue building factories. I’ll start by building a chemical plant to produce face cream and lipstick for women, and then I’ll hand it over to you.”

face cream and lipstick?

Upon hearing the unfamiliar words, Xiao Aqiao's eyes showed surprise, and Ye Bai continued to explain.

"The face cream is used to apply the face cream, and the lipstick is used to brighten the complexion. Once these two products are made, the profits will be no less than those of a soap factory."

Will the profits be no less than those of a soap factory?

The surprise in Xiao Aqiao's eyes almost overflowed.

She knows the soap factory's profits better than anyone else! Can the face cream and lipstick really make more money than the soap factory?

Seeing the confident expression on Ye Bai's face, Xiao A Qiao's previous confusion instantly turned into unconditional trust.

She did whatever Brother Ye said.

Now she was even more confident, "Leave it to me, I'll definitely get it done for you!"

Ye Bai had no doubt about Xiao A Qiao's abilities, and he picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the key points.

It was not difficult to put the household chemical plant into operation.

Snow cream is mainly composed of glycerin, fragrance, water, alkali and stearic acid.

Lipstick is just as simple: glycerin mixed with oils, plus coloring pigments.

The specific plans for the entire household chemical plant, from construction and production to later operation, can be replicated from those of the previous soap factory.

With her previous experience, management was not a difficult task for Xiao Aqiao.

Just as Ye Bai finished writing and was about to continue explaining the key points to Xiao Aqiao, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

As soon as the study door opened, his subordinate's voice came in.

"Brother Ye, someone is lingering at the entrance of our Paramount Ballroom and won't leave. We don't know who they are!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai frowned slightly.

"Go out and see."

At his command, Ye Bai led Xiao A Qiao and the black-clad bodyguards to the main gate.

There stood a young, burly man with a dusty face and wearing a straw hat, kneeling motionless on the spot.

Judging from the looks of it, he had clearly been kneeling for quite some time, and his short shirt was covered in frost.

As he knelt in the center, the guests around him kept their distance, and the faint sounds of their conversations could be heard.

"This person stinks! Forget it, I'm not going today..."

"What's going on? Take a detour!"

"Is this some kind of beggar? Why doesn't he join the Beggars' Sect? What is he doing kneeling here?"

...

All of their discussions reached the ears of the group.

Xiao Aqiao's expression immediately changed.

Isn't this affecting business?!

Thinking this, she immediately spoke up and shouted loudly.

"Hey, who exactly are you?"

Upon hearing the voice, the burly man who had been kneeling on the spot and seemed somewhat taciturn finally raised his head.

Seemingly confirming that Ye Bai was the real person in charge, his extremely hoarse voice finally rang out.

"People who risk their lives."

Upon hearing this, the black-clad bodyguard who had previously tried to drive away the person in front of him now stared wide-eyed.

"What use is a worthless life?"

Then he turned to Ye Bai and complained.

"Brother Ye, this kid's been hanging around for ages. We brothers can't beat him in a fight..."

At this moment, the scene before him gave Ye Bai a vague sense of familiarity.

Suddenly, a strange conjecture appeared in Ye Bai's mind.

Could it be...

With a slight glint in his eyes, Ye Bai tentatively asked.

How much is your life worth?

As soon as the words left his mouth, the young man's tone became anxious, and his eyes lit up.

"Give me a hundred bucks, and my life is yours!"

The familiar lines crashed into Ye Bai's mind with a thunderous roar.

He subconsciously asked the next question based on a fragment of his memory.

"What do you want money for?"

Upon hearing this question, the burly man's voice rang out without hesitation.

"

"To cure my mother's illness!"

Upon hearing these four words, Ye Bai's suspicions were confirmed.

The person before me is undoubtedly Luo Zhan, the heavy puncher from the movie "Ma Yongzhen"!
