Part 4: Setting Up the Soap Factory
With the increasing demand and availability of resources, Lin Yuer knew it was time to establish a dedicated soap production facility. She partnered with Mr. Li, a businessman who was keen to support her vision. Together, they found a suitable location near a water source, which was crucial for soap production. The factory was modest but well-equipped for the scale of production Lin Yuer envisioned.
Lin Yuer designed the factory layout, focusing on efficiency and hygiene. She divided the factory into sections: one for mixing the ingredients, one for curing the soap, and one for packaging. Each section was carefully monitored to ensure the quality of the soap remained consistent.
At first, the factory's output was still small, but Lin Yuer had big plans. She started hiring local workers and training them in the soap-making process. With each new batch, the factory grew more efficient, and soon, it was capable of producing soap in large quantities. Lin Yuer expanded her operation to meet the increasing demand, and the soap became widely available in markets far beyond her village.
