Chapter 550: Nothing to do
Bi Yuntao returned to Xue Mansion and met Mrs. Xue again. After coming out of the study, it was already noon. Bi Yuntao was exhausted from traveling back and forth today.
I wanted to wait for Meng Ruoxi to come over and talk to her and rest, but I couldn't bear the physical fatigue, so I had my lunch early and lay down to rest.
I slept until dark, originally thinking of taking advantage of the dinner opportunity to coax Xue Ruyue, but unexpectedly, she didn't even meet me, and she and Mrs. Xue enjoyed the delicacies of Lingxiao Pavilion in the house.
Looking at the empty foyer, Bi Yuntao muttered something angrily. He threw down his chopsticks and wanted to walk away, but he was so worried that he would not be hungry after one meal. Bi Yuntao had to turn his grief and anger into motivation. , focusing on the delicious food in front of him.
In the next few days, Bi Yuntao was obsessed with meeting Xue Ruyue, but she left early and came back late every day, deliberately avoiding him and not giving him a chance to meet. This made Bi Yuntao sigh every day.
During these days, Chen Wenjing sent famous invitations to Bi Yuntao every day. You don't have to think about it to know that after seeing the cheongsam and other items that day, Chen Wenjing couldn't put it down and invited him to come. But Bi Yuntao didn't have that idea. He said that the red flag at home was still flying outside, but now the red flag was on the verge of collapse. Bi Yuntao wanted to hug Xue Ruyue's legs to prevent her from leaving, but Xue Ruyue couldn't even see a human figure. Less than.
However, Zhao Ling'er always ran to Xue Mansion these days, and Qi learned from him that the fashion conference that day was very successful. Although the sudden appearance of people looking at them made them panic for a while, the cheongsam and women's underwear It is very popular with the ladies, and even the "models" can't put it down.
Not only Mrs. Xue and others, but also Bi Yuntao found this quite surprising. Hearing that no less than a hundred sets of orders were received at the scene.
Bi Yuntao lamented that in this world, there is always nothing that is unexpected and impossible. Women in this era also pursue beauty and comfort.
Of course, the most popular one is the perfume. The three different types of perfumes he developed were highly sought after by all the female guests present. They had never seen such a fragrant and pleasant gouache before. Naturally, the whole audience went crazy.
Those perfumes were priced at ninety taels per bottle, and they immediately received orders for 200 bottles, and then received an additional order for 300 bottles. It was really a good start.
Of course, this is also due to Bi Yuntao's contribution. A bottle of perfume costs 90 taels. Each person is limited to one bottle of perfume of each scent. If you want to buy 500 taels, in addition to the three perfumes, you must buy cheongsam and high heels. , underwear and other items, this can also be regarded as a kind of bundled sale. Of course, this situation only occurs on that day. After that day, there is no discount threshold of 500 taels.
This ninety taels of silver can be said to be very expensive for this era, but perfume, as a luxury product that has just appeared, is not affordable for everyone.
After hearing the news, Bi Yuntao was a little confused. He still underestimated the purchasing power of women in this era. At first, he thought that five hundred taels of silver was quite high, but he did not expect that it would be easily achieved after such a deal.
This is not to blame Bi Yuntao. In fact, the He family's policy is too attractive. The He family has always had a good credit and is very prestigious in the world. As long as the He family makes a guarantee and provides a bodyguard, it will basically be done. You can sit back and relax, although the price of escorts is much higher than that of the Ye family, but it is acceptable to avoid losing money and buy peace of mind.
In fact, the cost of this perfume itself is very expensive, and consuming a large number of petals every day is terrifying. Even a large family like the Xue family, which has a dedicated garden outside the south of the city, cannot afford it. In addition, it is winter again, even if Uncle Jing passes it. Various means have been used to mobilize petals from acquisitions, and production capacity is still very tight.
Bi Yuntao has made preliminary calculations that after large-scale production, the cost of each bottle will be about five taels of silver. He had already negotiated with Uncle Jing that the area of the garden in the south of the city would be expanded and expanded again, and new flowers would be planted according to the seasons in order to expand production capacity next year.
As for now, the perfume produced by his perfume workshop is very limited. According to preliminary estimates, even if the petals are fully supplied, less than 500 bottles will be produced a month. Compared with the huge market demand, it is really a drop in the bucket.
At the same time, Bi Yuntao also feels that perfume, as a new thing, must maintain a certain degree of mystery and nobility in its early stages in order to arouse consumers' appetite. You can't swarm them all at once, as that will make you famous for a while, but it won't last long. Therefore, he proposed a limited supply strategy to Xue Ruyue, which was actually a hype method.
The Xue family's perfume is limited to 500 bottles per month, but it has been sold out in the first few days of this month. This perfume has become a new luxury item among the upper-class ladies in Jinling. It is said that every bottle has been sold out. When it came to one hundred and fifty taels of silver, it was still priceless but not marketable. With the help of perfume, the promotion of cheongsam and underwear is also very smooth, and the future of the Xue family is bright.
Xue Ruyue and Mrs. Xue have been very busy these days. They have to fully spread the cheongsam and women's underwear, and the perfume is also limited in supply. They are also under great pressure.
Suddenly, the female clerks in the Xue family's shops became extremely popular. Look at it, they are quite motivated to develop into a women's product store.
After Bi Yuntao understood this, he was relieved. Although he was very confident in the promotion of perfumes, cheongsams and other products, he still couldn't help but worry.
He put more thought into this matter than his restaurant. In the eyes of outsiders, it seemed to be putting the cart before the horse, but Bi Yuntao didn't care. No one knew how much benefit he could get from this.
On this day, Bi Yuntao still failed to see Xue Ruyue after waiting arduously. Bi Yuntao behaved like a grudge against her husband. He even wanted to break into the west wing to find her several times, but as soon as he stepped on Before entering the archway of the west wing, the figure in red was blocking the way. No matter how Bi Yuntao persuaded her, Qiu Ying refused to give in.
What Bi Yuntao did was seen by all the servants in Xue Mansion, and these Xue Ruyue naturally knew about it, but they all turned a deaf ear to it, as if they were keeping a cold war to the end.
After Bi Yuntao asked to see Xue Ruyue again to no avail, he had no choice but to drag his exhausted body back to the room.
As soon as I walked to the door of the room, I saw that girl Xiao He standing pretty under the eaves, with her mouth pouting and her face full of displeasure. I didn't know who had offended her again.
