"Is it hard? Don't be fooled. ”

"In the final analysis, is fate and face more important or money more important?"

Zhao Shuo asked meaningfully.

"This ......"

Wang Chuxi grinned again and was about to cry.

Nonsense, of course it's money.

Zhao Shuo saw that his uncle had fallen into the eyes of money, and immediately decided to change directions.

"As long as you are willing to settle it in private, then I will press Gao Yu's side for you to ensure that there will be no problems with him."

"And I will also give you a money-making job, this job is protected by the imperial court, it is protected by me, as long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter how much you earn."

"What job??"

"Come here." Zhao Shuo greeted Wang Chuxi and glanced at Li Huai at the same time.

Li Huai turned to leave, and a moment later, walked in with a beautiful box.

Wang Chuxi leaned up, but saw Zhao Shuo open the box.

Suddenly there was a burst of aroma.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Lipstick."

"Lipstick?"

"Yes, and it's rose-scented."

"What is this for?"

"Makeup."

"Makeup??"

"Yes, this thing is the same as the red rouge on your lips that you pampered in the brothel."

"Oh." Wang Chuxi was stunned.

Not to mention, he suddenly misses Ah Xiang a little bit now.

I even wanted to bring a gift to Ah Xiang to soothe her worried and scared little heart.

"Your Majesty, what do you want Lao Chen to do?"

"I gave you a job, and you sold this?"

"Huh?" After Wang Chuxi was surprised, he waved his hand disdainfully: "How much can this be sold for?" ”

"Don't underestimate this thing, women will be ecstatic when they see it."

"And what the magic does?"

"Of course, and this thing is worth fifty taels of silver."

Wang Chuxi was not surprised at all after hearing this price.

After all, this thing was taken out by the emperor.

Zhao Shuo said again: "I can guarantee you that this thing can definitely capture the hearts of most rich and noble women, for example, if you give Ah Xiang such one, Ah Xiang will miss you for the rest of your life." ”

"Really?" Wang Chuxi looked at Zhao Shuo innocently and harmlessly like a second fool.

Zhao Shuo nodded and said, "Of course it's true, now I tell you that this thing is very valuable, if you run it, what price can you raise?" ”

Wang Chuxi carefully took out the delicate and oily thing that could turn and rise to the scent of roses.

After looking at it seriously for a long time, he praised it from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty, this thing is really very chic, small and exquisite, if you let the old minister run it, it will not be a problem to sell it for a hundred taels of silver." ”

Club! It's really amazing!

Wang Chuxi's price directly doubled.

If this guy were placed in ancient times, the cliff would be a ruthless businessman.

A vampire to be exact.

After all, this thing was developed by Zhao Shuo and Empress Zhu and the three thousand beauties in the harem.

Zhao Shuo provided R&D solutions and raw materials.

In fact, it is made of lard, rose pollen and plant ash with acetic acid.

During this period of the Great Song Dynasty, resources were not abundant.

Therefore, the cost that Zhao Shuo revealed to Wang Chuxi just now was fifty taels of silver.

Zhao Shuo already felt that it was outrageously expensive.

Because the fifty taels of silver in the Great Song Dynasty were converted into renminbi, which was 60,000 yuan.

Is it a luxury to buy a lipstick for 60,000?

It's extravagant!

Therefore, Zhao Shuo felt that Wang Chuxi's price was a bit outrageous.

"100 taels, can this thing be shipped?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's definitely a big sale, how much is there, how much the old minister will sell for you."

"Tell me about it."

"First of all, publicize its preciousness, it is a palace secret, an offering for the queen's mother, let alone a hundred taels, even if it is five hundred taels, there must be someone crazy."

"After all, scarcity is expensive."

Okay, this old thing.

Very talented in business.

"And then?"

"Then I told them that there are not many of them, they are limited, first come, first served, and the latter ones are gone."

"It is estimated that it can be speculated to a sky-high price."

Hearing this plan, Zhao Shuo was directly stunned.

The method that Wang Chuxi said was the earliest hunger sale in history.

So much so that Zhao Shuo seriously doubted that this goods was not a merchant who had crossed over?

The master who was born for a fever?

Zhao Shuo suppressed the curiosity in his heart and asked, "But there are not many of these things, and the beauties in the harem can only produce two hundred pieces a month." ”

Zhao Shuo is telling the truth.

Since he began to reduce the expenses of the court, the virtuous Empress Zhu also began to look for a way out of self-reliance.

It was on this basis that Zhao Shuo invented lipstick.

A batch has already been made.

But there are not many of them.

"Your Majesty, this is easy to do."

"You pass on the craft to the minister."

"Well, that's a good idea." Thinking of the famous scene of Wang Chuxi, who is the uncle of the country, leading people to make lipstick, Zhao Shuo felt that his scalp was numb.

But there's another problem.

"Wait."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"You just said that there aren't many things, so people are on a first-come, first-served basis, but how do you sell the ones you make later? When the officials know that you have hoarded a lot, then you must not be scolded for being a profiteer? ”

"This ......"

Wang Chuxi also thought of this loophole.

So he folded his chin in thought for a moment.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has thought of a way." ”

"Say."

"Lao Chen thinks that he can make different styles."

"Lao Chen will sell this batch first."

"And then when you build the next batch, make this rotating drum into a different shape."

"Isn't this just a strengthened version?"

"Then, after changing the rose on the lipstick, change it to a jasmine, osmanthus or lilac flavor......"

it!

Zhao Shuo's eyes lit up, and he was suddenly stunned: "Wang Chuxi? ”

"Your Majesty?"

"Have you ever heard of fever?"

"Huh? What did Your Majesty say? ”

"It's fine." Zhao Shuo shook his head, and then said to Wang Chuxi in a serious tone: "I also understand, you are the material for doing business, so this work will be handed over to you to take care of." ”

"For each batch of goods, you collect the funds, and I will give you a percentage of the profit when the time comes."

"Aha? Only one percent? Your Majesty, it's also difficult for the old ministers. ”

"Huh? Then I will leave this job to Gao Yu to do? ”

"Don't, it's better for the old minister to do it for Your Majesty."

The seriousness on Zhao Shuo's face suddenly broke the ice, and he smiled warmly: "Okay, so good." ”

Finding that Wang Chuxi had no motivation to start a business in an instant, Zhao Shuo patiently encouraged: "Uncle Guo, don't be discouraged, think about this lipstick, if you come to make it on your behalf in the future, the output will become larger, then it will not only be sold in Bianliang City, but also in Beijing City, Jinling City, and even to the rich people in the Great Song Dynasty." ”
