Chapter 346 345. Come to the Door (3)
After hanging up the phone, Hans looked at Li Du strangely.
"What's wrong?" Li Du asked.
Hans said: "We don't have to go back for the time being, someone is coming to discuss business with us, and that's what we're talking about."
He pointed to the box in Godzilla's hand, which contained 4,800 milliliters of rose essential oil.
Li Du suddenly understood, and said with a smile, "The business came to you by yourself?"
Hans nodded and said, "Yes, I came to the door by myself, God bless, let us make more money."
The other party attached great importance to this business, and soon an S-series Mercedes-Benz drove up, and then two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, got out of the car and found them.
After the meeting, both parties introduced themselves first.
Both of them belonged to a spice company called 'Sigreia'. The man named Hill Crest was the purchasing director of the company, and the woman named Alice Humphrey was the company's perfumer. division.
Hill was the leader. He shook hands with Hans and Li Du one by one, and then said straight to the point: "We heard that you got some rose essential oil, so we wanted to see if we could cooperate."
Hans opened his arms exaggeratedly and said: "Yes, of course we can. We are going back to Flagstaff City. It would be even better if we brought some Franklin instead of a small bottle."
They had just checked out their room, so they went outside to find a coffee shop, asked for a private room, and then went inside with a suitcase to discuss business and evaluate the quality of essential oils.
The private room was not big enough, so Li Du asked Da Ao and Godzilla to rest casually. After thinking about it for a while, they stood at the door with their hands on their lower abdomen, assuming the role of door gods.
Li Du saw it when he came out to order coffee, and he smiled and said, "You don't need to do this, you go and rest."
Da Ao said: "Boss, you must have a bit of style, so that you can have momentum when discussing business."
Li Du patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back this time and count this month's bonus, you both have it."
Da Ao became more energetic, the boss turned to look at him, and he smiled back.
The boss turned his head quickly, and picked up the phone tremblingly.
Twenty-four bottles of rose essential oil were placed outside. Except for one bottle that was opened by Hans, the others were sealed with soft wax.
Alice opened the essential oil that she opened her mouth and sniffed it, then nodded and said: "Yes, rose essential oil, it should be Otto rose essential oil."
Hill said, "Okay, gentlemen, now we have to do a preliminary test on these oils, or we can't quote."
Hans said: "The test needs to open the bottle, right?"
If the answer is yes, then he has to think about it.
The identities of these two people were introduced by themselves. It is hard to say who their real identities are. If they open the bottle and they don’t buy it, it will reduce the value of the essential oil.
Hill said: "Our detection is divided into two steps. The first step is physical inspection, which does not require opening the bottle. The second step is chemical analysis, which requires opening the bottle."
"However," he said after a pause, "as long as the first step is completed, we can negotiate the price, and the second step will only proceed if you are satisfied with the price."
Hans said: "That is to say, the physical test determines whether you want it, and the chemical test determines the final price?"
"Yes, that's it." Hill nodded.
Hans looked at Li Du, Li Du also nodded, this request is not too much.
There is a white metal box in the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz. After getting their permission, Hill asked Godzilla to move the box in, and then put twenty-four bottles of essential oils into it.
When the box was opened, a puff of white gas came out, and the temperature inside was very low.
Hill introduced them: "This is the easiest way to identify, to see if it solidifies at low temperature. Usually, rose essential oil will crystallize below 14-17°C, because distilled rose essential oil contains about 15-18% natural wax quality ingredients."
A few minutes later, he opened the box, and twenty-four small cold bottles were taken out, and the essential oils inside were all in a colorless and semi-solidified state.
Seeing this, Hill and Alice whispered a few words, and Alice took out some reagents from the small bag, began to smear on the outside of the bottle, opened another bottle of essential oil, and started experimenting with a test tube.
Hill said with a smile: "Alice will continue to conduct several tests. Looking at it now, the results are very optimistic. I think we have a high probability that we will cooperate successfully this time."
Li Du said: "Take this opportunity, can you explain to us the knowledge of rose essential oil?"
Hill said: "Which aspect do you pay attention to? Let me first tell you which aspects should be used to judge the quality of rose essential oil, how about it?"
"Of course."
Hill took a sip of his coffee and said, "For consumers, judging the quality of essential oils can be done in terms of variety + origin + extraction method + purity + traits + ingredient data + price + brand."
"In terms of varieties, Damask rose is currently the best variety of rose essential oil recognized in the world. It has medical value and is very precious. There are also two common roses, red rose and thousand-leaf rose, which are the best varieties."
"In terms of origin, there are three major origins in the world, namely Bulgaria, Morocco, and Turkey. Their products are stable and excellent, and their output, craftsmanship, and price are all top-notch."
Hans was surprised: "Is this thing so rare? Only these three places produce it?"
Hill laughed and said: "No, it seems that my introduction is not comprehensive enough. These are the three major production areas. In addition, Russia, India, Iran, and China also produce, but international brands such as Chanel, Dior, Bulgari, and Hermes, they only I will choose essential oils from the three major producing areas.”
Li Du nodded and said, "You continue to introduce."
Hill said: "In terms of extraction methods, distillation is currently the best production method recognized by the mainstream. You may have noticed that just now Alice said that these essential oils are Rose Otto essential oils."
"Among them, the rose essential oil extracted by distillation is called Rose Otto essential oil. Under this process, the production of essential oil is limited, and the oil yield is low. The supply exceeds demand, so the price is expensive."
"The second common extraction method is solvent extraction. This product obtained through chemical solvent extraction is called rose essence, which is professionally called absolute oil."
"It contains a small amount of chemical solvents, so it is not suitable for deep aromatherapy and food, and the price is relatively low. It is mainly used in cosmetics and perfumes."
"There is also an extraction method called liposuction, which is a very old technique and is now obsolete. Animal fat is used for extraction, which is inefficient and easily polluted..."
Hill was interested in the introduction, and Li Du and Hans were also interested in listening, when suddenly there was a noise outside the door.
Li Du frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go take a look..."
Before he finished speaking, the door was pushed open roughly, and two black gun barrels stretched in!
