Chapter 55: Lipstick is popular
Xiuzhen realm, in Pingyan City.
It was afternoon, the sun was shining in the sky, and the city was crowded with people, and people were busy with their own things in the alleys of ancient buildings of varying heights.
In a slightly ornate mansion, a noble lady is holding her newly purchased lipstick and applying it to her lips in front of a bronze mirror.
Half an hour later, she kept looking left and right at the bronze mirror, and finally put away the lipstick in her hand with satisfaction.
This lipstick is made from the earth, with a small and beautiful appearance and fine workmanship, which is rare to see in the cultivation world.
The lady carefully hid the lipstick in the makeup case, which she had bought for three taels of silver. In Pingyan City, three taels of silver can allow an ordinary person to live for three months, and she only uses it to buy a lipstick.
After packing up the cosmetics, she walked out of the room and walked towards the account room where her husband was, smiling and charming.
When I arrived at the place, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed as a wealthy businessman, was dealing with some errands on the books.
"Master, are you thirsty? After the lady finished speaking, she poured a cup of warm tea for the middle-aged man.
"Well, I'm just a little thirsty, didn't you go play cards with those ladies today?"
The middle-aged man said, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then continued to deal with chores.
"What's so fun about playing cards, I play every day, and I'm tired of playing. Sir, don't you notice anything special about me?" said the lady, and pursed her lips.
"Oh, let me take a look!" the middle-aged man glanced at the lady carefully and said, "Madame's lipstick is much more beautiful than before!"
"You can finally see that this is a new type of lipstick I bought today, and I heard that it was brought by a merchant from far away, and you think it is very beautiful, right?" said the lady happily.
"Well, it's very beautiful, and Madame looks better than before. ”
"Really? I bought it for three taels of silver, and it seems to be a good deal. ”
After the lady finished speaking, she kissed her lord on the face, leaving a red lip print, and left happily. And when the middle-aged man heard that he had bought it for three taels of silver, he immediately sighed: What a loser, how many things do you have to sell for three taels of silver to earn it back.
Today, many rich wives have bought this novel lipstick, they are not only beautiful in front of their husbands, but also compare in the circle of that group of women, and this lipstick has become the talk of rich wives.
In Pingyan City, there is a very famous place called Beauty Square. There are many women who make a living by selling their talents, singing, dancing, and having fun with the rich in the beauty shop. Generally, they don't sell themselves, and selling themselves is an accident.
There are many famous beauties in the beauty shop, and it is also a place frequented by wealthy people. These beauties who sell their arts have a high sense of comparison, and whoever is the most beautiful is the most popular, and the more money they make.
One of them, a woman with a medium complexion, stumbled upon a special lipstick, and after using it, her beautiful lips immediately became the highlight of the eye. She used to look relatively ordinary, but after wearing bright red lipstick, her overall beauty was increased by half, and she was sought after by many rich people.
Subsequently, her value also rose, and she performed a performance, received a lot more rewards than before, and some people wanted to invite companionship alone, and the price was higher.
All of a sudden, the women in the beauty shop inquired where they could buy such lipstick, and they all wanted to buy one. What woman doesn't want something that can make people beautiful? After becoming beautiful, it can attract more customers to reward!
After many inquiries, they finally knew that this lipstick was from the daughter of the county master. The lipstick in Xu Honglian's hand quickly became a hot item, but fortunately she had a lot of inventory, otherwise it would not be enough to sell.
Xu Honglian felt that the selling price of three taels of silver was a bit expensive at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it is not expensive at all. At present, she is the only one who has this kind of lipstick for sale, and it is completely up to her to decide how much to sell. If she wants to buy five taels of silver, maybe those women who love beauty will still rush to buy it.
Where did the lipstick come from? It all started in the morning.
Xiao Tian handed over the preparation of the company to Fu Yuanyuan and them, and became the shopkeeper himself. After talking to his parents the next morning, he shuttled to the cultivation realm.
The first time he came to the cultivation realm, he went to the city to find Xu Honglian, the daughter of the magistrate. If you want to mix in the cultivation realm, of course, you have to use the coins of the cultivation realm to find Xu Honglian, just to earn silver taels.
Xu Honglian was very happy to meet Xiao Tian.
"Tea, please!"
In the county governor's mansion, in an octagonal pavilion, Xu Honglian and Xiao Tian sat in the pavilion and drank tea together.
"Well, this tea is very fragrant and tastes very good!"
Xiao Tian took a sip and felt that the taste was really unique, and after drinking it, his mouth was fragrant and refreshed. Even though he rarely drank tea before, he thought it was very good.
"This tea is called green leaf tea, and it comes from a unique tea tree. The tea leaves are picked when they have just grown more than ten days ago, and then after processing, they become the tea we drink now. If you are interested, I can give you half a catty. ”
Xu Honglian said that this kind of tea is considered a high-grade tea in Pingyancheng, with good taste and a slightly more expensive price. But for the wealthy, price is not an issue.
"I was really interested, and I drank this tea, which made people linger. Remember the cooperation we talked about? I'm coming to you today because there's something you need to sell. ”
After Xiao Tian finished speaking, he took out an earth-made lipstick from the space and demonstrated it in front of Xu Honglian.
"This is a lipstick unique to our hometown, it is very simple to use, open this lid, twist it gently, and after the lipstick comes out, apply it evenly to the lips. ”
Xu Honglian saw the beautiful lipstick, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
"The stuff from your hometown is really beautiful, and the color of this lipstick is also very good. Do you mean to ask me to sell this lipstick? I think it's going to be sought after by some rich ladies. Xu Honglian said with a hint of surprise.
"Yes, I'm just asking you to act as an agent for the sale of this lipstick, and this is just the beginning of our cooperation. ”
"If that's the case, that's great! How many lipsticks do you have, and at what price?"
Xu Honglian was a little excited, she has a very keen intuition about business, if the number of lipsticks is enough, the profit is quite huge.
Xiao Tian said with a calm expression: "I brought 10,000 sticks, each of which costs three taels of silver." After you help me sell it, I'll give you 10% as a payment, how about it?"
"What? Three taels of silver a piece, isn't it too expensive? Will you really give me a reward of 10%?" this ......" Xu Honglian said in surprise.
One tael of gold, ten taels of silver, and one thousand copper coins. One percent of 30,000 taels of silver is 3,000 taels, which is equivalent to 300,000 copper coins, which is quite a large amount.
A shopkeeper can earn three taels of silver every month, that is, three hundred copper coins, if you want to earn 300,000 copper coins, how long will it take?
And a lipstick actually costs three taels of silver, which is equivalent to a month's work for the second child in the shop. Buying an iPhone on the planet also requires an average person to save three months' salary. Now Xiao Tian sells a lipstick to the price of one-third of the iPhone, which is the so-called no business, no annihilation.
"That's right, it's three taels of silver. You just have to sell it, and after you sell it, your remuneration will not be less, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future!"
Xiao Tian replied affirmatively, he had a certain calculation in his heart. Ginseng is not worth much in the cultivation realm, but when it reaches the earth, it can be sold at a sky-high price. The same is true for lipstick in the cultivation world, there are no other branches in other places, only this one, if you want to be expensive, you can't do it.
Xu Honglian saw that Xiao Tian was very firm and confident. He said that if he sells it for three taels of silver, then sell it for three taels! How much can it be sold for, and then we will talk about it.
Then the two chatted, and Xiao Tian left all the lipsticks in the storage space at Xu Honglian's house. is not worried that the other party will not admit it, this little thing, in his eyes, is not worth mentioning.
Before leaving, Xu Honglian gave Xiao Tian half a catty of green leaf tea, and Xiao Tian naturally accepted it.
Since Xu Honglian got the lipstick produced by the earth, she has launched a circle of friends to sell it to those rich wives. As the daughter of the county magistrate, she knows many rich daughters.
After some sales, it was quickly recognized by those rich wives. This lipstick is so easy to use, dozens of sticks were sold in one morning, and people continued to buy it in the afternoon.
The lipstick spread ten, ten, hundreds, not only in the mouths of rich wives, but also in the beauty shop, which provoked those women in the dust to come and buy it.
After seeing the popularity of lipstick, Xu Honglian no longer felt that the price of three taels of silver was expensive, but felt that it was very cheap. In one day, she had sold more than 100 sticks, and she earned more than 400 taels of silver.
She couldn't help but sigh secretly, the money was so easy to come by, and with a commission of one-tenth, she could get more than forty taels of silver. This is just a day, how many people can earn more than forty taels a day?
Subsequently, this lipstick became popular in the hands of the noble ladies in Pingyancheng.
