[055] Please Second Sister You and Third Sister You Platform
Jia Chen smiled and said:
"This matter is of great importance. As a court official, my second uncle needs to go to the yamen to work on duty on weekdays and has no time to run a business. My nephew suggested asking Lian's second sister-in-law to help with the business of snowflake cream. I wonder what my second uncle intends?"
In fact, the Ministry of Works, Wailang, who was appointed by Jia Zheng, was just a idle position and he didn't have to go to the Ministry of Works at all. However, Jia Chen wanted to use this as an excuse to ask Wang Xifeng, who is good at financial management and skilled, to take charge of the business.
If a nerd like Jia Zheng gets involved in business, he will definitely be poor in management and may even be deceived.
Jia Zheng was used to being idle and didn't want to run a business by himself. At this time, Jia Chen proposed that Wang Xifeng be responsible for this matter, and he was just happy to be idle, so he smiled and said:
"Good idea, I'll send someone to invite the Feng Yat-tou here."
After a while, Wang Xifeng twisted her hips and hips, and walked in in a charming and charming manner.
"Wife greets the second master." Wang Xifeng bowed her knees and gave a blessing.
Wang Xifeng is actually the daughter-in-law of Jia Zheng's brother Jia She, but when she saluted Jia Zheng, she can also call herself a wife because she counts as the daughter-in-law of the Jia family.
In Dazhou, the daughter-in-law often calls herself a daughter-in-law in front of her parents-in-law.
Jia Chen also stood up and bowed to Wang Xifeng: "I have met Sister-in-law Lian."
Wang Xifeng did not dare to glar at Jia Chen in front of Jia Zheng, but looked directly into Jia Chen's eyes and said with a smile:
"Brother Chen, don't have to be too polite. Please sit down and have tea."
She spoke with confidence, but her voice was not loud, but every word was shady and powerful, as if she had regarded herself as the master of Rong Mansion.
With such a strong aura and such outstanding ability, no wonder Jia Zheng and his wife appointed her the power to manage Rongguo Mansion.
After Jia Chen sat down, Wang Xifeng sat down and looked at Jia Zheng with a smile and asked:
"The second master asked me to come, what instructions do you have?"
Jia Zheng stroked his goatee and smiled embarrassedly:
"Brother Chen said he wanted to do business with our Rong Mansion. He wanted to make and sell a kind of makeup flake cream. I can't explain it clearly. Please let Brother Chen tell you in detail."
Wang Xifeng knew that Jia Zheng was pedantic and unpretentious, so she told him that she was playing the piano with a cow, so she turned to look at Jia Chen and asked with a smile:
"Brother Chen, I have never heard of this kind of sauce cream. How to make it? What is the cost? How much is the appropriate price?"
Jia Chen smiled indifferently and said:
"Only four raw materials are needed: beeswax, flower juice, milk and glycerin. The addition ratios of these four need to be prepared after the test to achieve the best effect and then determine it.
Each bottle of snow cream is only half a tael, so it is easy to calculate the cost of each bottle based on the raw materials. The price is based on the cost, and it can be doubled by five times."
Wang Xifeng immediately opened her mouth and asked in surprise:
"That is, the price per bottle is five times the cost? Can anyone still buy it?"
Jia Chen smiled and said:
"Everyone has a love of beauty. Women are willing to please themselves. In order to make themselves look more beautiful, not to mention five times, even if they double ten times, there will be people who buy it. But for the sake of sales, I will turn it over for the time being.
After the market is opened, it will not be too late to raise the price again.”
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, in order to make herself more beautiful, women dared to apply mercury powder to their faces, and they would apply cinnabar to their lips. Cinnabar is a compound of mercury, which is highly toxic.
Women are so crazy about beauty that they don’t even want their lives. Do they still care about the price?
Wang Xifeng blinked a pair of phoenix eyes with rippling water waves and said with a smile:
"That's true. Not to mention the ladies and wives of the Duke and Marquis' House, even the maids in our Rong Mansion, who doesn't like to wear flowers or paint pink, and those girls and daughters-in-law of ordinary families also love beauty.
.
I am very optimistic about this kind of snow cream. When the first batch is made, I am willing to buy a few bottles out of my own pocket. I will first give my ancestors a bottle and then give it to the women of Ningrong’s two mansions.”
Jia Chen secretly praised Wang Xifeng for being a good person. He not only invited him to buy favors, but also took the opportunity to advertise Snowflake Cream. In the future, the female relatives of Ningrong's two mansions will be potential customers of Snowflake Cream.
Jia Chen smiled and reminded:
"Although we must praise this novel cosmetics when selling snow cream, customers may not believe it, and someone needs to demonstrate the effect in public."
Wang Xifeng's eyes rolled and she smiled:
"This is simple. I can ask the two sisters of You Dashao from the East Mansion to demonstrate. They are both elegant and elegant, gentle and beautiful. Not to mention applying snow cream to them, even if they are made of rice soup.
The paste can still fascinate a large piece.”
Jia Chen knew that she was talking about You Erjie and You Sanjie.
These two sisters are natural beauties. Without applying makeup, they can also invert all living beings. If they apply shiny and shiny snow cream, they will definitely add a lot of color.
In the original work, there are eight characters to describe You Erjie - flowers are the intestines and snow are the skin.
There is also a poem about You Sanjie - the ground is covered with peach blossoms, and it is hard to support the jade mountain.
The two sisters of Youshi are both outstanding, and they all have beautiful appearances that are fascinating.
Jia Chen smiled deeply:
"I heard that Sister-in-law You's two sisters have peerless appearances. If they could ask them to help demonstrate, the sales of Snow Cream will definitely increase a lot."
Wang Xifeng's eyes fluttered and she smiled:
"I can't let them work in vain. From now on, we can give each of them a bottle of snow cream every month as a thank you gift to them. I wonder if Brother Chen agrees?"
Jia Chen smiled casually and said:
"This is naturally. It's a big deal to hire a shopkeeper and a waiter. You Erjie and You Sanjie help us increase sales. How can we treat others badly?"
This is just like asking celebrities to advertise in later generations, and it is worthwhile to give others an advertising fee.
Wang Xifeng nodded and smiled:
"It's comfortable to chat with a smart person like Brother Chen. Let's talk about how much money you and the Rong Mansion each pay, and how to share the money?"
Jia Chen did not reveal his background first, but asked:
"How much is Rong Mansion willing to pay?"
As soon as these words were said, Jia Zheng and Wang Xifeng subconsciously looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment flashing in their eyes.
Now the inner pockets of Rongfu are almost out of business, and I really can't afford much money.
Jia Zheng curled his lips and had a bitter face, not knowing how to respond.
Wang Xifeng sighed softly and said in a stern voice:
"Brother Chen, I'm not hiding it. The Rong Mansion is short of money and can only take out two thousand taels of cash now."
In fact, the Rongfu’s inner pocket still has 3,000 taels of silver, but we can’t take them all out to do business, right? We have to leave 1,000 taels to support the daily expenses of Rongfu.
Jia Chen was speechless. He had guessed that the Rong Mansion was now in short supply, but he did not expect that it would be so cold.
With the current economic situation of Rongfu, I am afraid that it is not as good as the local rich people outside the outskirts of Shenjing City.
It is even more impossible to compare with Jia Chen. Jia Chen now has more than 30,000 taels of silver notes in his hand.
Seeing Jia Chen's complex expression, Wang Xifeng thought he couldn't take out much money, so she was in awkward and embarrassed, so she smiled and comforted:
"Brother Chen has been from a poor family since childhood. He just made hundreds of taels of silver by selling the "Rules of Disciples". It is normal that you can't afford much money. Don't belittle yourself. You can tell me how much money you have. Don't worry, we can win the big head by ours.
