Even Shen Ao was stunned for a moment at this moment. Fortunately, his temperament matured and he quickly returned to normal. All of this did not escape the observing eyes of Concubine Zhao, which made her couldn't help but feel happy.
In ancient times, it was very important for cousins to move closer to each other. If Shen Ao could marry Tang Min, it would be a great joy for the Zhao family, and the wealth would not go to outsiders.
There are such thoughts. Firstly, Concubine Zhao really likes Shen Ao. She can feel that this nephew is very affectionate and her daughter will not suffer a loss if she marries him. Secondly, for some unknown reason, the emperor treats Miner. I have never liked it very much. It was the same when I was a child, and it is still the same when I grow up. I couldn't find the reason, which made Concubine Zhao very worried for a time. She was also afraid that the emperor would eventually find someone to marry off her daughter, so she decided to think of a solution first. .
Shen Ao didn't know this, otherwise he would have strongly opposed it. Just kidding, these are close relatives. How could he and cousin Tang Min get together? Even if he was beaten to death for such a thing, he wouldn't even do it. Will do it.
It's just that Concubine Zhao's eyes are very obscure, and Shen Ao has never thought about this aspect, so she can't feel it at all. Because I don't know, the family is happily together at this moment, except Liu Liu who is studying. Prince Tang Jia rushed over, and it was really a family reunion.
...
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The eldest princess knelt down and was reporting the good news to Emperor Qianwen. With her eyes dancing with joy, the account books were presented to the dragon case one by one by Yan Fu's hands.
Finally, the eldest princess almost finished speaking and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she looked up at Emperor Qianwen who was sitting on the dragon throne and said: "Brother, the country has made a total of twenty-four thousand taels of profit this time. According to the previous distribution, , twelve thousand taels can be sent to the palace. The silver has been packed in boxes and can be carried into the palace for inspection at any time."
"Haha, not bad." Emperor Qianwen also looked happy. He was happy not only for the money and benefit, but also for Shen Ao's performance.
Long Yan was overjoyed. Seeing that the opportunity was good, the eldest princess told the story of sending eight guards to protect Shen Ao's personal safety. She also said that King Xiang indeed sent Han Ce, his chief staff officer, but he only sent gifts. There is nothing excessive in expressing willingness to make friends.
Speaking of this matter, Emperor Qianwen snorted coldly, "This Xiu'er is quite sensible and knows that this matter has nothing to do with Duke Zhongguo."
Although these words were extremely fair, for some reason they fell in the ears of the eldest princess. She had a feeling that Shen Ao, the loyal Duke, had a very important status in the eyes of the imperial brother, not much different from that of Prince Xiang.
Although there is no basis for it, this is the true feeling of women.
Yan Fu, who was standing by the side, looked at his nose, his nose and his heart. Then he seemed to have a discomfort in his throat and coughed lightly.
This cough reached the ears of Emperor Qianwen in the quiet hall. After hearing this, his face turned serious, and he sighed softly: "You should also keep a close eye on this Shen Ao. After all, he is still young. Don't get carried away. If we cause any big trouble, we will be in trouble later."
"Yes, the imperial sister has written it down." The eldest princess agreed repeatedly. Then she doubted herself: "It seems that the imperial brother is still worried about this Shen Ao, and that's right. He is just a minister, even if his father once I saved the emperor's brother's life, but isn't that the duty of a minister? Now that he has been dead for fifteen years, most of his kindness in Da must have disappeared. How can it be compared with Prince Xiang, the emperor's brother's biological son?
Shaking her head lightly and leaving the unrealistic thoughts behind, the eldest princess immediately said: "Brother, according to Duke Zhongguo's plan, Guochanglong will launch soap, goat milk soap and You can definitely make a lot of money from perfume and other items. Then more money can be added to the treasury, and the emperor can recruit more troops to pacify the four directions. At that time, the Daqian Dynasty was in The imperial brother’s hands will also shine brightly and achieve a prosperous generation.”
No one doesn't like nice words, and so does Emperor Qianwen. He said with a smile: "Okay, the emperor brother will wait for the emperor sister to bring more money. I think the emperor sister will not let me down."
"It must be so." The eldest princess said as if to assure herself.
...
On May 29th of the 15th year of Hanchang, it was easy to open the market, offer sacrifices, avoid asking about names, and enter the house.
On this morning, the 36 Guochanglong branch in Daliang City was once again crowded with people, and the queue was longer than in the previous days.
What is different from the past is that this time there are not only civilians in the queue, but also many people wearing silk and satin. Most of them have rosy faces and good temperament. At first glance, they are slaves of wealthy families.
This result is entirely due to Guochanglong's advertisement three days ago. Not only are the prices of various items for sale written on the wooden boards of all branches, but there are also three more items, namely soap, goat milk soap and refined perfume. .
When it was first put up, many people were confused, and some people didn't pay attention at all. It wasn't until someone asked the store clerk that everyone knew that these three items were new items that Guochang Longzhong was about to launch. All have never been seen before.
Soap! It can wash all things, is easy to use, affordable, and has strong cleaning effect. It is a hundred times more effective than the so-called plant ash, aromatic alkali, and soap that everyone uses now.
Goat milk soap! It cleans the internal organs of the body. It is not only extremely clean, but also leaves a light and elegant fragrance. I heard that women in the palace now use this thing. And when the word "palace" is written on the soap, the status will be high. A lot came out.
Refined perfume. It has a very strong fragrance when sprayed on the human body. It can cover up the inelegant body odor of some women. It can also make the already fragrant woman more feminine and enhance her charm. There are rumors, When a woman sprinkles perfume on her body, a man will be addicted to it after smelling it. It also has a great effect in promoting excitement during sexual affairs and so on.
The three things that have not yet been released were praised so highly by the guys at Guochanglong that it made everyone who heard them feel itchy in their hearts. The rich people are looking forward to the things being released soon so that they can be immersed in them. Give it a try and see if it's true.
People with no money also want to join in the fun and see if other people who buy these things are as amazing as the guys say.
Out of curiosity, the news spread throughout Daliang City in three days, and almost all the people in the capital knew about it. Finally, the day came when the items were to be put on the market, and the country was naturally in a good mood again. lively scene.
As per the old rules, when the hour comes, Thirty-six Guochanglong opens the door on time. When they see so many customers crowding outside the door, it really scares the store clerks who have been mentally prepared.
Fortunately, Shen Ao had made preparations in advance. He had already told everyone to greet the guests well. Under the stimulation of the bonus system, all the clerks tried their best to show their best side and strive to make every guest happy. Guests can come with silver and return with a full load.
This was Shen Ao's idea again.
After becoming the manager of Guochanglong, the wage system was reformed. The monthly minimum wage was lowered and an additional benefit wage was added. The regulations stated that whoever sells more goods can get a corresponding commission, and whoever has a better service attitude After receiving the service satisfaction bonus, the work enthusiasm of all Guochanglong employees was aroused.
Facts have proved that in the face of temptation, there are no real lazy people in the world. They didn't work hard before just because the stimulation given was not big enough.
Nowadays, all the guys in Guochanglong not only have an amazingly good attitude towards customers, but they are also very good at talking. They have the ability to bring life to the dead and turn Tukara into gold.
With so many salesmen working hard to promote the products, the functions of the three new products quickly became popular among people, and batches of orders continued to be generated that morning, setting a new sales record for Guochanglong.
Among them, soap sells the most. This new product is relatively low-priced, effective, and most importantly, extremely durable. After the clerks tested the effectiveness on the spot, the soap in the store was sold out.
Although the price of a piece of soap has reached a "super high price" of one hundred cents, after using it, there is almost no loss or consumption, and half a basin of clothes has been washed cleanly, and there is still a light fragrance. The guys even took the opportunity to suggest that clothes washed with soap can also have anti-virus functions when worn on the body, which can reduce people's exposure to bacteria and make them healthier.
Although the clerk in the store can't explain what bacteria are, everyone still understands that the body is healthier and healthier. Some women will calculate too much in order to let their husbands and family members have a better body. .At that moment, they threw away the plant ash, balsamic alkali, soap and other substances they had used before, and picked up soap.
For a time, as soon as the box is opened, a box of soap is often sold out. Even some rich people are persuaded, and fearing that they will not be able to grab it, they simply buy it by the box, which makes the salesmen narrow their eyes. It became a seam.
In fact, the cost of a piece of soap is only about three cents. If it is produced on a large scale, the cost can be reduced. With a profit of nearly 3,200 times, I am afraid that future generations of businessmen will not even dare to think about it.
Shen Ao kept a careful eye on this matter. He purchased all the items, and he also paid the ratio in advance. The quoted cost price changed from less than three cents to thirty cents. Even so, the eldest princess When she heard that the price of soap would be one hundred cents a piece, she was still shocked. She thought that one dollar and fifty cents was already very high.
Shen Ao did not accept the eldest princess's suggestion. Intellectual property rights, patents, and monopoly. When these three factors come together, there is no reason not to sell at a higher price. He has also calculated that when people buy it, considering the cost-effectiveness, they will definitely save money. It’s the rich people who are the real consumer group. Since it’s the rich people who are being ripped off, why aren’t they making money?
