In the elegant room, Hu Changan was drinking tea leisurely.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a roar.
I saw that Cuicui actually took the old bustard and left and returned.
This time, the madam was obviously much more enthusiastic than down below.
In the eyes of the old bustard, Hu Changan is simply a huge gold mine with a steady stream of money.
Pulling Cuicui, the madam sat down in front of Hu Changan: "Sir, your new rouge is so easy to use! The color is so beautiful that it's dazzling. The girls in our building are all vying to use it.
Where’s your new rouge!”
"Young master, how about this? Since you are going to give Cuicui free rouge, do you mind giving one to all the girls in the building?"
"When you come here from now on, we at Zuiyue Tower will definitely treat you as a guest and will always arrange the best seats for you for free!"
What the Madam said was definitely bleeding a lot.
You must know that Zuiyue Tower is one of the best brothels in Yingtian City. The elegant rooms in Zuiyue Tower are not so easy to book.
During the busiest time, the private rooms in Zuiyue Tower have to be booked half a month in advance.
Hu Changan thought for a moment and agreed to the madam's suggestion.
Although giving lipstick to all the girls in the building may seem like a lot, the production cost of this lipstick is actually not too high.
As long as you keep planting cacti, you can produce a steady stream of cochineal insects, which can then be used to make lipstick.
As for the cactus, except for a little soil and paying taxes on time, there is no other cost at all.
The lipstick shells processed by Li's agency seem to be of high value, but in fact they only look exquisite in workmanship and the materials used are ordinary materials.
If you think about it seriously, it's actually not very valuable.
So Hu Changan gave lipstick to all the girls in Zuiyue Tower without actually spending much money at all.
But if all the girls in Zuiyuelou wear lipstick, then lipstick will definitely spread among everyone at an extremely fast speed.
Not to mention that Hu Changan can also get the qualification to book an elegant room in Zuiyue Tower in advance for free, which can not only be bought with money.
It can be said that Hu Changan will definitely make a profit from this transaction.
However, Hu Changan has additional conditions: "I can give you the new rouge for free, but if the girl in your building is selected to become an oiran, the oiran must use my Hu's rouge when parading in the streets."
"Yes, yes, of course." The old bustard smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't even see his eyes, and he happily agreed to Hu Changan's proposal.
What's so difficult about asking an oiran to wear Hu's rouge when parading around the streets?
Even if Hu Changan didn't say it specifically, the madam would still do it.
As for the color of this new rouge, which rouge on the market can compare with it?
Applying it on girls' lips will definitely enhance their beauty.
When an oiran parades through the streets, she naturally wants to show her most beautiful side.
Since there are good things, why not use them?
Moreover, after using Hu Changan’s rouge, the madam was very confident.
In the future, she will definitely be able to create a few more courtesans like Cuicui!
This is definitely a win-win situation.
However, the old madam also had her own considerations: "Master, I wonder if you can just sell this new style of rouge to me, the girl from Zuiyue House? If you only sell it to our house, I can also give you a large amount of extra money.
"
The madam thought very well.
When doing business, it is natural to do exclusive business.
Only by monopolizing can we make more money.
If all the girls in Quanying Tiancheng start to wear this magical new style of rouge in the future, then the girls in her building will naturally become less competitive.
Of course, Hu Changan decisively rejected the Madam's proposal.
What Hu Changan wants to do is the business of all the girls in Yingtian City, especially the ladies of high families.
The brothel here is only responsible for the early promotion. He can't put all his wealth on a small brothel.
Seeing this, the old bustard also sighed slightly.
It seems that this exclusive business may not be possible.
However, the madam was not discouraged.
After all, everyone is doing business and talking about business.
Hu Changan felt that this matter was unprofitable, so it was normal for him to reject her proposal.
However, the madam still wanted to try again: "Master Hu, since it's never possible, can three months be enough?"
"Within three months, the young master will only provide us girls in Zuiyue Tower with new styles of rouge."
"In exchange, I promise that our girls in Zuiyue Tower will use the young master's rouge no matter what the occasion is."
Hu Changan thought for a moment and agreed to the madam's suggestion.
After all, it's winter now, and cochineal insects grow slowly, so I can't make too much lipstick at once.
Since lipstick cannot be produced on a large scale, it is okay to stock up on goods a little.
This is the legendary hunger marketing.
When everyone is itching to wait until the goods are released, the price of the goods will definitely be shot up!
When the madam saw this, she also smiled happily.
Three months, this is completely enough for a professional bustard.
With this magical new rouge, she will definitely lead Zuiyuelou to a higher level!
After the business was settled, the Madam quietly retreated, leaving her space to Hu Changan and Cuicui.
After all, although the old bustard still has charm, it is still not as beautiful as the beautiful flowers.
Young masters come to brothels to appreciate the beauty.
As soon as the old bustard got older, he would not disturb Hu Changan's leisurely life.
So Hu Changan asked Cuicui to play the piano again.
Hu Changan quietly listened to the music of the piano while sipping the fragrant tea.
I have to say that Guqin still has a unique flavor.
The beautiful sound of the piano, accompanied by the gentle voice of the beautiful lady, is definitely a wonderful enjoyment.
After listening to the piano, Hu Changan left directly.
It's getting late now, and Hu Chang'an has to go to court tomorrow.
It's better to go back and catch up on some sleep first.
...
Next, Hu Changan's focus shifted to briquettes.
Winter is coming soon, and Hu Changan wants to use coal and heating as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the winter in Yingtian City would be really difficult.
At first, Hu Changan thought about entrusting the Ministry of Works Workshop to help him build tools for making briquettes.
But soon, he gave up this idea.
In novels, this is nothing, but in reality, this is a proper public tool for private use!
If a good person were to read a copy of it, Hu Changan would definitely not be able to eat it and keep walking around.
So Hu Changan had no choice but to turn his attention to private blacksmith workshops.
Apart from weapons, private iron workshops can still make other things.
For example, agricultural tools and ordinary kitchen knives are sold in standard styles, and you can also create customized models according to your own personal needs, which can be said to be very convenient.
However, the efficiency of private blacksmith workshops is countless times slower than that of the Ministry of Works workshops.
