The beauty treatment is on the rise!
In less than half a month, Zhuyan Cream became popular throughout the capital.
Even the concubines of the harem sent people to buy from time to time.
This is the result of the joint efforts of Li Hongbi and Princess Ningguo!
At this moment, the two foxes, one big and one small, are calculating the profits of the facial cream.
Li Hongbi originally priced a bottle at a thousand taels, which was nothing to those noble ladies and concubines.
However, based on the principle of sustainable development, Princess Ningguo still cut the price in half. After all, the price of five hundred taels was already very high.
Of those rouge gouache on the market, the most expensive one only costs ten taels of silver per box!
It is conceivable that the price of beauty cream is not ordinary high. Except for noble ladies and concubines, ordinary people cannot afford it!
After Li Hongbi's rough calculation, the sales volume of Zhuyan Cream in the past half month has reached an astonishing one hundred thousand taels of silver!
One hundred thousand taels of silver, what is this concept?
During the Yongle period, one tael of silver was enough for a peasant family's daily expenses for an entire year!
And a seventh-grade county magistrate's annual salary is only forty-five taels of silver!
In other words, this one hundred thousand taels of silver is enough for an ordinary family to spend one hundred thousand years, and it is also enough for the salary of a seventh-grade magistrate for more than two thousand years...
Shocking!
Princess Ning Guo was shocked beyond measure!
She looked at Li Hongbi in disbelief, her eyes filled with money.
What kind of son-in-law is this? He is clearly the little God of Wealth!
Even Princess Ning Guo had already had a premonition that the profits from the facial cream would be terrifying.
But when the clear and detailed data was placed in front of her, she couldn't help but take a breath!
What is the cost of producing facial cream?
In addition to the cost of raw materials, there is only a small amount of labor cost, which adds up to less than 500 taels of silver, which is almost negligible!
This profit is really scary!
Mei Yin glanced curiously, and the next moment she sat down on the ground.
"How many?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Mei Yin was completely shocked.
In his entire life, he has never seen so much money!
Li Jinglong saw this and sneered: "Look at your potential, but it's just..."
"Wait! How much did you say?"
"One hundred thousand taels? Not forty thousand taels?"
Li Jinglong asked in disbelief.
His Duke Cao's mansion was rich, but his family's wealth was only two to thirty thousand taels of silver at most. That was the family property that Li Wenzhong saved for his descendants, most of which was used by Li Jinglong to build big ships.
The result is now good. Li Hongbi made a beauty cream and actually earned 100,000 taels of silver in half a month!
This is equivalent to the property of four or five Cao Guogong's houses!
Li Jinglong looked at Li Hongbi blankly.
Is this really my kind?
Li Hongbi smiled lightly and said: "One hundred thousand taels, which means that about two hundred bottles of Zhuyan Cream were sold."
"With this volume entering the market, the market for ladies and concubines is almost saturated, so the next turnover will definitely drop, at least it won't reach such a high level in a short time."
Princess Ningguo nodded upon hearing this. This truth is not difficult to understand.
A bottle of facial cream can be used for at least half a month. Those ladies and concubines bought at least ten bottles in one go. Calculating the time, it can be used for three or four months.
Therefore, the turnover of 100,000 taels is not just the profit of this month, but should be regarded as the profit of a quarter.
"But besides these ladies and concubines, there are other potential customers!"
Li Hongbi smiled, "After all, a bottle of facial cream is too expensive, but we can disassemble one bottle and sell it, just like ordinary rouge and gouache, put a little in a small box and adopt a retail strategy."
"Set a lower price and take advantage of the popularity of beauty cream, which is also a good sales opportunity."
Princess Ning Guo's eyes suddenly lit up and she nodded happily.
The ladies and concubines were rich, so they were willing to spend thousands of dollars to grab bottles and bottles.
But in addition to these noble ladies and concubines, there are also a large number of well-off families in the capital.
A bottle of beauty cream costs five hundred taels of silver, which is indeed a bit expensive for them.
But if it’s a small box of one hundred taels of silver, then they can definitely afford it!
Anyway, as long as you don't use it every day, a small box can last you almost half a month. That's a lot of profit, enough to fill the gap in the saturated aristocratic circle in the capital!
After all, there are only so many ladies and concubines in the capital, and it can easily lead to market saturation.
But there are many well-to-do families in the capital, and their number is more than ten times more than that of ladies and concubines!
Li Hongbi took out another planning document and said in a deep voice: "This is a business planning document about the beauty cream!"
"The capital of the Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly the most prosperous, but besides the capital, there are also a large number of prosperous cities, such as Yangzhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and Bashu and Chengdu!"
"But we cannot expand the market in this matter, but must rely on the power of the imperial court. After all, with the influence of our two families, we are far from being able to suppress those local snakes. Only after the royal family is brought in can we start to develop Local market!”
"The beauty cream has become popular in the capital, and its reputation has spread. As long as we open up the local market, we can continue to reap profits without any publicity. In addition, in order to ensure that the secret recipe will not be leaked, we will not open a local production base. This Duke Cao's government is fully responsible for the matter, so we can absolutely guarantee that the secret recipe will not be leaked!"
Princess Ning Guo was very happy and couldn't help but pull Li Hongbi into her arms and rub his head.
"Good boy, why do you have such a long head!"
Li Hongbi struggled to get up, but found that he couldn't break free at all.
hiss……
Her Royal Highness the Princess,
The strength is really great!
"Aunt, let's talk about business!"
"Now my aunt can enter the palace to meet the saint!"
When it came to business, Princess Ning Guo also straightened her face and let Li Hongbi go.
This matter is not only related to the profit of Zhuyan Cream, but also related to the life and death of their family!
The situations of Mei Yin and Li Jinglong are actually quite different.
One is the former Confederate Army coach!
One is the former commander-in-chief of the Huai'an Army!
Both of them led armies to fight against Emperor Yongle!
Emperor Yongle doesn't move them now, but that doesn't mean he won't move them in the future!
It is a perfectly normal method to stabilize people's hearts first and then settle the matter later!
Li Hongbi looked serious and said solemnly: "Aunt, you must bring this profit data sheet, business plan, and the last cooperation contract with you on this trip. Make sure that His Majesty the Emperor signs them, both copies! "
"Only when His Majesty the Emperor signs and seals it, you and I will have a talisman, and we won't have to be in such panic all day long!"
As soon as these words came out, Mei Yin and Li Jinglong fell silent.
In the final analysis, the current difficult situation the two families are in is all because of the two of them.
"Bo Yin, this incident has caused a lot of trouble. You and I have caused trouble, and we need my wife and son to solve it for us..."
Li Jinglong smiled sadly, and Mei Yin rarely retorted and scolded him.
"Jiujiang, go drink!"
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
Mei Yin and Li Jinglong walked away arm in arm.
Both of them are undisputed losers, and only one drink can solve a thousand worries.
Seeing this, Princess Ningguo's eyebrows stood up and she wanted to stop her, but was stopped by Li Hongbi.
"Uncle, let them go!"
Looking at the desolate backs of the two, Li Hongbi smiled.
"Anyway, the matter is almost settled."
"If they don't overcome that hurdle in their hearts, they will live an uncomfortable life!"
When Princess Ning Guo heard this, she glanced at Li Hongbi blankly.
"Hongbi, my aunt heard that you once shouted that the Tie family sisters were your women?"
Li Hongbi: "???"
ah?
What does it mean?
Can we still settle accounts after the fall?
Seeing Princess Ning Guo looking at him with a half-smile, Li Hongbi immediately stood up and ran away.
"Expedient solution!"
"What an expedient measure, aunt!"
"I am innocent with them, as can be seen from the sun and the moon!"
However, before Li Hongbi ran out of the backyard, he noticed another strong wind coming in front of him.
Then... he... flew out again...
Li Hongbi was flying in mid-air.
His face was full of lovelessness.
Lao Mei’s family is really evil!
Who the hell keeps an elephant at home?
tired.
Destroy it!
