Chapter 21: Make money, make money

It wasn't until Mo Li'er's soft call woke Xu Zizhen that he came back to his senses: "Huh? What happened to Pear? ”

Mo Li'er smiled and said, "Brother Xu forgot one of the most important things, what price should this mascara be sold?" ”

Oh yes, the price hasn't been set yet, and I can make a fortune with this thing, he smiled and held out two fingers and shook it.

Mo Li'er said: "Two taels of silver?" ”

Xu Zizhen shook his head and smiled: "No, it's twenty taels." ”

"What? Twenty taels?! Mo Li'er was stunned for a moment, and Mo Xie, who was not far away, was also shocked when she heard it.

You must know that the highest-grade rouge sold in Xie Fuchun is only three taels of silver a box, and it is still a sandalwood box, although this mascara is valuable, but after all, the white porcelain bottle is only the size of a thumb, and such a little thing sells for twenty taels, even Mo Li'er's tranquil temperament can't help but scold him for a profiteer.

Xu Zizhen doesn't care about these, it's true that the money is earned in his pocket, although his history was not very good when he was in school, but he also knew that the Song Dynasty was the richest dynasty in history, and the per capita GDP of the people of the Great Song Dynasty was equivalent to a few British, that is to say, if the British could only eat one bun a day, the people of the Great Song Dynasty could eat two and throw two.

However, he looked at Mo Li'er's tangled face, and still smiled and enlightened: "Li'er, you don't understand, as the saying goes, things are scarce, since we have this thing in Xie Fuchun all over the world, don't you kill others to death?" Besides, although our bottle is small, a bottle can last for a long time, is it possible that we sell a bottle and wait for others to use it up in a year before buying it? ”

Mo Li'er is not very old, she has been exposed to such a family since she was a child, and she still knows a lot about the science of business, like Xu Zizhen, she actually disagrees with this business, but out of trust in Xu Zizhen, she finally responded.

Xie Fuchun is a veteran fat powder shop in Suzhou, and it has been a decent business for more than 100 years, but today he suddenly changed his style, and there were so many flowery Qinglou women standing outside the door, which was really eye-catching.

So many red sisters have to spend money to go to the red sleeves to see it on weekdays, but today they can see it as long as they pass by, the red skirt Luopa, the autumn waves are circulating, like Qian Tongzhi, the old hand of the Qinglou has been electrocuted into that stupid look, it is conceivable that those honest people, those men passing by were fascinated, stunned on the side of the street and looked straight in the eyes.

With that wife by her side, she pinched her husband with hatred, and at the same time cursed hatefully "fox spirit", "shameless" and so on, the yellow-faced women secretly regretted in their hearts, and they knew that Lu Dao would not take this road today.

At this time, someone with sharp eyes noticed the problem and immediately shouted: "Hey, what are these sisters wiping on their eyes?" ”

When he said this, someone next to him immediately reacted: "Ah, sure enough, why do these eyes look like goblins!" ”

Soon, everyone present noticed this situation, and more and more people gathered around the girls when they saw each other, and they saw the opportunity to giggle and laugh: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think it looks good?" This is Xie Fuchun's new wonderful thing, called mascara, which has just begun to be sold at this time. ”

Everyone was stunned, but then they were surprised, this is really a wonderful thing, those sisters' eyelashes have become long and curvy one by one, and they can almost rest a toothpick on it.

As soon as this news came out, the men were better, but they continued to look at Sister Hong, who didn't spend money, but those women couldn't stand, which woman didn't like to be pretty? Even the yellow-faced woman has to think of ways to make herself young and beautiful, so as to hook her man's heart.

Almost all the women in the crowd had bright eyes, and they didn't want to run straight to Xie Fuchun, and soon, the spacious store hall was packed.

Women are the most ruthless in the pursuit of beauty, whether in the Song Dynasty or the twenty-first century, this is an irreversible truth, those women who enter the store after learning the price of this mascara, as long as they have money in their pockets, they all happily buy a bottle, and those who are not well-off are still reluctant to leave, hesitating at the counter to think about whether to borrow money to buy.

Now those men secretly regretted it, twenty taels of silver is not much, but it is not a lot to say less, and it is only a small bottle of things to buy at this price, and I can't help but scold my own ruined girl with a heartbeat.

I have to say that the current situation has exceeded Xu Zizhen's expectations, the crowd has squeezed him behind the counter, and the smell of incense powder and shavings oil in the room makes him feel the urge to sneeze, which is extremely uncomfortable, but watching Sister Sun and Sister Wu take back a silver ingot of white flowers, he is indescribably comfortable in his heart.

Make money, make money, a bottle of twenty taels, eighty bottles is one thousand six, but the cost of these things adds up to less than three taels of silver, no wonder Li'er looked at herself just now with contempt for the two words.

Mo Xie and Mo Li'er stood on both sides, teaching those female guests how to use how to apply makeup, while Liuli stepped aside and looked at Xu Zizhen secretly, she saw Xu Zizhen's face smiling happily, this is clearly the appearance of a profiteer, how can there be a style that shocked the four last night when he was in the red sleeves?

In less than an hour, the eighty bottles of mascara brought by Xu Zizhen were sold out, and many people who came late and didn't buy them paid a deposit while complaining, all of which surprised Mo Xie, a veteran of the fat powder industry.

Xu Zizhen looked at the pile of silver and was overjoyed, and shouted with a wave of his hand: "Today, there is one counted, I will invite guests to dinner in Songhe Tower, and I will not return if I am not drunk!" ”

Mo Li'er sneered: "Brother Xu, don't be in a hurry to eat first, there are still many guests coming to pick up the goods tomorrow, and Li'er thinks you should prepare the goods first." ”

Xu Zizhen slapped his forehead: "Yes, I forgot about this...... In this way, you Xie Fuchun should have your own workshop, and I will hand over the recipe and method to you, and you will make this thing in the future. ”

Mo Xie was taken aback: "This ...... I'm afraid that's not right, right? ”

Judging from today's first sale scene, the fire storm of mascara can be predicted, and the formula and method have definitely become a valuable thing in this fat powder industry.

Xu Zizhen cares about this, in his opinion, Mo Li'er is his own person sooner or later, and the formula of the little mascara is nothing, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Mo Xie's face, he just waved his hand and found a piece of paper to write down the formula.

At this moment, a person suddenly broke in outside the door, five big and three thick and black like a piece of carbon, and as soon as he entered the door, he opened his throat and shouted: "Big brother! ”

This sudden voice startled everyone in the store, Xu Zizhen turned his head to look, but saw that it was his new "little brother" Hua Ye.

It's only past noon now, Xu Zizhen calculated the time, and said with a smile: "It's done?" ”

Hua Ye grinned: "It's done, with the help of the eldest brother, this matter is not difficult." ”

Today may be the most proud day after Hua Ye came to Suzhou, he was originally a Huaiyin person, many years ago due to the flood in his hometown, he came to Suzhou Mansion to seek a living, but he was a refugee, no capital to do business, and no craftsmanship, seeing that this day is almost unbearable, he was forced to start this splashing business under the helplessness, and he relied on collecting some stall protection fees and the like on weekdays.

Hua Ye's nature is straightforward and loves to make friends, although he is a little lustful, but he is very good to his friends and brothers, so he has also developed into a tyrant in the land after a few years, but he is an outsider after all, and his roots in the local area are not deep, and he has only occupied three of the six city gates of Suzhou with his best efforts.

Yesterday, he was arrested and fell into the hands of Xu Zizhen, who was just helpless to temporarily compromise, but he didn't expect Xu Zizhen to take the initiative to throw him an olive branch and say that he wanted to help him become the only boss in Suzhou City.

He didn't believe in this at all, looking at Xu Zizhen's age and appearance, he didn't look like a person with such great energy, although he responded verbally at that time, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, although he said that he was going to hit the other three city gates in the morning, but he still tentatively sent someone to see the situation first, and the result surprised him.

The head of the government office took his subordinates to guard outside the Lou Gate, one of the six city gates, early in the morning, and when Hua Ye walked by with a large group of people in their hearts, they turned a blind eye, and then Hua Ye suddenly understood, it turned out that Xu Zizhen, the cheap big brother, really didn't lie to himself.

As Hua Ye himself said, it is not a problem to take down any city gate with his strength, and now there is a thunder catcher to guard the city gate for him, and the bosses of the other two gates don't dare to run to help even if they get the news, so they just watched him easily snatch the Lou Gate.

As soon as the battle here ended, Hua Ye immediately led people straight to Qimen, and Lei Zhutou had already come here one step ahead of him, and it didn't take long for this area to be surnamed Hua.

It was not unsurprising that the door fell into his hands two hours later, although he was tired enough this morning, and many of his brothers were injured, but his heart was already happy.

Hua Ye didn't know where Xu Zizhen was sacred, but now he has completely regarded Xu Zizhen as his real boss, and he can mobilize the yamen to help him with a word, and this kind of energy is not comparable to his small splash.

Xu Zizhen looked at him with a complacent look, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, this is a win-win situation, with him in the future, he can be much safer in Suzhou, and it will be much easier to do business or other things.

He smiled and patted Hua Ye's shoulder: "Hua Ye, from now on, you can be regarded as a man of the hour." ”

Hua Ye bent down slightly and smiled humbly: "That's also the eldest brother's help." ”

Liuli, Mo Li'er and others on the side looked inexplicable, especially Mo Xie's family, she naturally knew the name of the Dao Hua Ye, although it was not full of evil, but it was quite famous, but now she was so low in her voice to Xu Zizhen, which made her completely confused.

Hua Ye suddenly smiled, leaned into Xu Zizhen's ear and whispered: "Big brother, I went to investigate what you told me, and my brother really found something." ”
