If it had been before, Shen Ye's parents would never have let him go out like this. But after experiencing this, I feel that just living is enough. If you have any ideas, just go and be good.
After working hard for a while, a strange shop opened in the capital.
It was also the first time for Jian Yu, Mi Zihan and others to come in and visit, and they were amazed.
This room is full of pink pig plush dolls similar to those Bai Yue gave to Bai Chuan.
But it’s not just pigs, there are all kinds of shapes.
Bai Yue deigned to condescend to receive the group of relatives and friends in person and introduce them to them.
"This is the zodiac series." Bai Yue said: "Five hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver each."
You have never seen the animals in the Chinese zodiac in real form, and you have seen them in pictures. But I think you and Bai Yue made them like this.
It seems like it is, but it seems like it's not. It always feels weird.
"This is the exotic series." Bai Yue continued to introduce.
Giraffes, giant pandas, red pandas, octopuses, polar bears, including the cute and cute Komodo dragons, many of which Beijing residents have probably never seen, and most of which are not even known to exist. There is no need to consider the authenticity, let’s just say Cute or not.
This is... okay.
"These are very complicated in workmanship and are limited editions. The price varies depending on the size, ranging from a few hundred taels for small ones to thousands for large ones. Customized prices are negotiable."
There are also fresher series.
"This is the Plant Elf series, three hundred and eighty-eight pieces."
Jian Yu picked up a... big cabbage with eyes. It could only be said that Bai Yue was thinking about something every day.
Potato essence, cabbage essence, radish essence, and even a willow essence with a head full of braids and a black briquette monster.
The most expensive thing is the doll that returns to its essence, which is a doll, but it is completely different from the dolls on the market today. This doll has hair, expressions, big eyes, long eyelashes, clothes and shoes, and is so exquisite that it seems like it will come to life.
In Qin Jiu's words, my wife is so beautiful.
Bai Yue said boldly: "I'll give you one for each of you. You can choose whatever you want."
What is most abundant in the capital is the rich. From high-ranking officials to wealthy businessmen, they can make hundreds or thousands of taels of silver for ordinary people without blinking an eye.
A low-key person like Jian Yu feels that he is short of money every day. If Bai Yue really wants something, he can pay tens of thousands of taels.
As soon as they saw a fresh store selling fresh things, and Prince Ning had given it a plaque saying it was auspicious for opening, everyone naturally wanted to go in and take a look.
Of course, there are those who can't afford it, so they can afford it. There are those who find it too expensive and want to spend money, and there are also those who think that although it is expensive, it is worth the price for something unique.
The shop became lively and bustling, and everyone stood upstairs watching. As they watched, they heard a quarrel below.
The two ladies fell in love with the same model, the willow tree spirit with a head full of whips. They refused to give in to the other. Peggy and Lin Yi were trying to persuade each other, and they made a big fuss.
Everyone watched for a long time.
Mi Zihan suddenly said: "Don't you only have one of these in your store?"
"Yes, I told you it's a limited edition." Bai Yue said, "Everything is one. Haven't you noticed that there is no pig in the Chinese zodiac? The pig is in the uncle's place."
The main reason is that it is too time-consuming and delicate to make. And if there are too many of them, they are not valuable. Things are more valuable when they are scarce.
Mi Zihan was speechless: "Then how much money can you make from this store? Even if you sell them all, it won't be enough for the store. What will you do next?"
"Then we'll do it again. I can guarantee that each one will be different and will be sold for three years." Bai Yue shook his head.
In an era without copyright, she couldn't come up with any style. In the future, she will also produce holiday commemorative models during the holidays.
Bai Yue is so confident, it's not that everyone doesn't believe him.
But Jian Yu also felt that it was inappropriate: "Then it's so tiring for you. It's not cost-effective to just sell one after making one look."
It's not like Bai Yue would do such an uneconomical thing.
Mi Zihan raised another hidden danger: "Although this doll has a strange shape, if you open it up for viewing, after being looked at, people will naturally imitate it. Even if it cannot be imitated so exquisitely, it will be possible, but they can
It can be sold very cheaply, but once a large number of cheap imitations come on the market, can you still sell it?"
Bai Yue disagreed.
"If rich people, like me, want to buy, they must still buy the original. Not to mention the imitation is not exquisite, even if the imitation is more exquisite, they still have to buy the original. When we sell, we have names recorded and numbers. You
You can tell if the hand is fake just by checking it. For example, Mr. Mi, you claimed to have spent 500 taels on a small gift for the girl, but when the girl checked it, she found it was fake. Isn’t that embarrassing?”
Bai Yue understood the psychology of the young master and the eldest daughter very well. At the end of the day, what he bought was not the item, but the brand.
And as long as she raises the price high enough, she can create a brand that gives people the impression of being expensive and high-end.
The two young ladies who were quarreling were finally coaxed, and each bought one and left with a smile. Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, this was much harder than working as an errand in Jian's house. She wanted to curse in her heart, but also had a smile on her face.
Bai Yue did not return that day and all night.
She, Peiqi, and Lin Yi spent the whole night counting money in the store.
Jian Yu didn't go back. He found a rest room in the store and spent the night casually. When he got up the next day, he saw Bai Yue, whose eyes were still shining, and quickly dragged him back to rest.
Not to mention that the family is so short of money that they are just waiting for the rice to be cooked. Even if they are short of money, they cannot exchange their lives for money.
Jian Yu dragged Bai Yue back, fed him a bun, took off his coat and shoes, and stuffed him into the quilt to rest.
Bai Yue yawned and patted Jian Yu's chest with satisfaction.
"Master Jian, stop working. I will be able to support you soon. I will give you five hundred taels of pocket money every month, but I won't let you work."
She was really not stingy with him at all, and Jian Yu was a little touched.
Then Bai Yue fell asleep.
Jian Yu touched his chest. He didn't expect Bai Yue to have such lofty ambitions. However, his position was not just for the five hundred taels of salary every year. Who was an official in the court and lived on that salary?
Beijing is a trendsetter across the country. Anything new can be exciting for a while, and naturally countless people will imitate it.
But no one expected it to happen so quickly.
On the fifth day after Bai Yue's store opened, Mi Zihan arrived in a hurry early in the morning.
Send her a doll bought at the market.
"Thirty taels of silver each." Mi Zihan said: "He basically has the styles in your store and the styles he has sold before. They are just smaller and rougher in workmanship, but they are much cheaper. They are basically three to five taels or ten.
Two or eight taels. I looked at it for a while and saw that the sales were so good that they were snapped up like crazy. They even accepted orders. Someone ordered a thousand pieces at a time, probably planning to ship them out."
Jian Yu was also surprised that it was so fast. He took it over to see if it was true.
The two of them looked at Bai Yue to see if she had any remedies.
Bai Yue just smiled incomprehensibly.
Mi Zihan was laughed so hard that she frowned and said, "Why are you laughing?"
Bai Yue said inexplicably: "Guess, where did so many imitations that appeared on the market overnight come from? If we hadn't prepared in advance, how could so many of them come out in just a few days?"
