Chapter 1393: Visit
Cao Jie and Ma Chao went to the mansion for a banquet.
During the banquet, Cao Jie informed Ma Chao and others about the conditions for the Liangzhou gentry to invest in the soap workshop and steam engine workshop.
In general, the conditions are not much different from those in Yongzhou.
Ma Chao and other Liangzhou gentry happily accepted all the conditions proposed by Cao Jie.
Soon Liangzhou also began to build soap workshops and steam engine workshops simultaneously.
For this kind of business that is sure to make money, the enthusiasm of the Liangzhou gentry is much greater than when they invested in the Youzhou soap workshop.
Willy Tatul and his family and followers in the city gradually became familiar with everything in Liangzhou City.
And Willy Tatul was also very interested in the soap workshop and steam engine workshop under construction in Liangzhou City.
Willy Tatul had used soap before.
For this kind of cleaning product, Willy Tatul, as a businessman, believed that if the soap was brought back to the Kushan Empire, it would definitely be sold at a high price.
Especially for the nobles who love to enjoy.
Willy Tatul's family members are satisfied with their life in Liangzhou City.
In addition to the language barrier, his family members feel that the life experience here is better than that in the Kushan Empire.
These days, Willy Tatul's family members have been constantly discussing how to gain a foothold in Liangzhou City.
Willy Tatul means that he still has to do his old business, that is, doing business.
And he has set his sights on soap.
In Willy Tatul's view, it is difficult for their family to start the fur and mineral business again in Liangzhou City.
So new products must be found.
At this time, soap naturally came into Willy Tatul's sight.
After he told his family about this idea, his family members also supported it very much.
And under the advice of the old housekeeper, Willy Tatul wanted to sell soap in the Kushan Empire.
But before that, what Willy Tatul needed to do was to have a stable source of soap.
It just so happened that Liangzhou was building a soap workshop, so he couldn't wait to meet the nobles and officials of Liangzhou.
So Willy Tatour and the old butler looked for Liangzhou merchants who had cooperated with Old Willy in the city before, hoping to get their recommendation.
Hard work pays off. With the unremitting efforts of the two, they finally found a businessman that the old butler remembered.
The businessman's name was Lou Quan, who used to specialize in porcelain business.
Because porcelain was very popular in the Kushan Empire.
However, after the trade exchanges on the Silk Road gradually decreased, Lou Quan has now invested in the soap workshop and the steam engine workshop.
When Willy Tatour and the old butler Al came to visit, Lou Quan was still stunned.
"Hello, Mr. Lou, this is Mr. Willy Tatour. Willy's father had done porcelain business with you before. You should still remember it, right?"
After seeing Lou Quan, the old butler Al gave him a gift and asked with a smile.
"Willie? Willie, I remember!"
"This should be the son of old Willie, right?"
Lou Quan recalled for a moment, and then based on Willie Tatur's appearance, he finally remembered.
When the old housekeeper saw that Lou Quan still remembered old Willie, he smiled and said again with emotion:
"Mr. Lou has a good memory. This is Master Willie, the son of Master Willie."
"This visit to Mr. Lou is also to cooperate with you again!"
When Lou Quan heard that it was a business visit, he immediately smiled to the old housekeeper Al and Willie Tatur:
"Hahaha, please come to the mansion and rest."
"We will talk about business slowly!"
Then Willie Tatur, the old housekeeper Al and Lou Quan came to the mansion together.
During the period, the old housekeeper Al told Willie Tatur not to worry, Lou Quan still remembered old Willie.
Willie Tatur also relaxed after hearing this, thinking that he should be able to achieve his goal this time.
In the study, Lou Quan and Willy Tatul began to chat with the help of the old housekeeper's translation.
Lou Quan asked about the situation of old Willy, but Willy Tatul did not tell him that his family was purged by Vasudeva I.
He evaded the question by saying that his father was sick and resting at home, and sent him to establish trade channels again.
Lou Quan did not doubt it much after hearing this, and then the two began to talk about business.
"Mr. Lou, when I came to Liangzhou City, I found that a kind of cleaning product called soap was very popular here, and workshops for producing soap were constantly being built in the city."
"And I have experienced the effects of soap myself, and I think soap will definitely be very popular in the Kushan Empire!"
"The nobles must like soap very much, so this time I came to see you in the hope of buying soap from you and then selling it in the Kushan Empire."
Willy Tatul then stated his purpose.
The old housekeeper Al translated Willy Tatul's request to Lou Quan.
Lou Quan smiled happily after hearing this.
This time he also invested in the soap workshop. Although he was not worried about the sales of soap, being able to sell soap to the Kushan Empire was also a good business.
"Hahaha, Willy, your idea is very good!"
"Soap is now very popular in Liangzhou City, or in the entire Wei Dynasty!"
"As for Willy, you want to sell soap to your own country, I agree with you very much. This is indeed a business that is sure to make money, hahaha!"
The old butler Al saw that Lou Quan was very interested in Willy Tatul's proposal, and happily translated his meaning to Willy Tatul.
"That's great, Mr. Lou!"
"I wonder how much soap you have now? I can pay you a part of the deposit now!"
Willie Tatul was also very excited when he heard it.
As long as he can successfully establish a soap sales channel from Liangzhou to the Kushan Empire, it will not be a delusion to revive the glory of the Tatul family.
"Willie, I don't have much soap in stock now, because the soap workshop here has not started yet."
"It only takes about half a month for the soap workshop to be able to go into production normally, and by then there will be sufficient supply."
Lou Quan asked Willy Tatul to wait patiently for a while.
At the same time, Lou Quan also hopes to contact some other Kushan Empire merchants.
Maybe there are higher bids!
Willy Tatul nodded and said it was okay.
Half a month was not a long time, and during this time he would also try to contact his friends in the Kushan Empire.
