Actually, that's not all. Besides Meng Zhao being their savior, following Meng Zhao meant they would have a real chance to make a living. Not only were the wages high, but the benefits were also good. She firmly believed that as long as she worked hard, she would have even more money in the future.

Meng Zhao glanced at He Jianxia, ​​a hint of approval flashing in her eyes. "I told you before, don't mention gratitude or anything like that anymore. Just do your job well for me. As for this matter, you did the right thing. The customers who buy our gift boxes are all well-off. They can tell whether these things are rough or exquisite. We can't fool them."

"What should we do about Master Zhang? I refused him, and he was quite unhappy."

After pondering for a moment, Meng Zhao said, "It's not easy to change Master Zhang's side. Before, because we needed the items urgently, I only mentioned the internal compartments of the gift box. The specific patterns on the outside were all drawn by them. If we find another carving master to use the patterns drawn by him, it will inevitably cause gossip."

"But since this has happened, we can't just leave it unprepared. Find a few good artists to design some patterns and buy them out. Then, see if there are any skilled sculptors among the ones who made soap molds for us before. Let's start by cooperating with them on single-layer gift boxes. If the quality is stable, we'll ask them to make the next new product."

He Jianxia nodded, then brought up another matter, "The honey and astragalus gift set hasn't sold for several days. I notified the workshop to stop production, but there are still twenty boxes in stock in the backyard. I'm worried that if it's left for too long, it will affect the effectiveness."

Meng Zhao asked curiously, "This kit is very effective, and it's also cheaper than other kits, so why isn't it selling?"

"Shopkeeper, in this set, apart from the honey and astragalus cream, all the other items can be purchased directly. The honey and astragalus cream was also included in our previous pearl set, but it was seventy coins more expensive. Most customers would prefer to buy the pearl set."

Seeing Meng Zhao frown, He Jianxia suggested, "Should we lower the price? If we just lower it by about 150 coins, it will sell much better."

Meng Zhao shook his head. "No, this set isn't expensive enough, and we've already sold quite a few. If we suddenly lower the price, the customers who bought it before will probably be unhappy. It's one thing if they come back asking for a price difference, but if people think we set prices arbitrarily and have no credibility, that would be a real problem."

He Jianxia listened and felt that Meng Zhao's words made sense, but this thing could not be kept for long after it was made, so how should it be disposed of?

“I understand. I will find a way to resolve this. Jianxia, ​​I don’t have as much contact with the customers as you do. If any of the sets are not properly matched, please let me know in time. We need to adjust them according to the customers’ needs; we can’t work in isolation.”

Ultimately, this is because Meng Zhao didn't put the products in the gift set together well. The gift set must contain unique and highly attractive individual items to entice customers to buy.

He Jianxia nodded to indicate that she understood. Seeing that there was nothing else, Meng Zhao let He Jianxia go out and get busy.

As Meng Zhao was leaving, she happened to run into a travel-worn merchant who was walking into the shop.

She looked up and felt that the man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who he was for a moment. Just then, Meng Jianqiu peeked out from behind the counter and whispered, "Manager, this is Boss Xing. He usually does business in the Pingyang County area and often comes here to buy goods."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhao's heart stirred, and he quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Boss Xing, what items do you want today?"

Mr. Xing smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, "Your pearl gift boxes sell well, give me ten more sets."

"Mr. Xing, why don't you take a look at our honey and astragalus gift box? It's 750 coins a set, and the effects are pretty good too."

The man shook his head. "No need, just give me the pearl set."

Even if he sold the honey and astragalus gift set at a reasonable price, it wouldn't sell well. Since he was constantly running around selling the goods, he naturally had to look for in-demand items.

Seeing that Mr. Xing showed little interest in the honey and astragalus gift set, Meng Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Xing, how about this? I have twenty more honey and astragalus gift sets here, 750 coins per set, you can take them all. Also, I'll reserve three bottles of our Snow Jade Skin Rejuvenating Cream for you, what do you think?"

Mr. Xing's eyes widened immediately. "Snow Jade Skin Rejuvenating Cream? Isn't that out of stock?"

Meng Zhao smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "This is a new batch, but it's already been reserved. If you want some, I'll reserve three bottles for you as a discount for our long-standing friendship."

Upon hearing this, Boss Xing immediately began to calculate in his mind. A bottle of Snowland Skin Rejuvenating Cream was priced at three taels of silver, but because it had long been out of stock and was being hotly debated outside, he could sell it immediately even if it was priced at six taels of silver per bottle.

As for the honey and astragalus gift set, although it's hard to sell at 750 coins per set, if I sell it for 600 coins per set myself, I won't have to worry about sales. Even if I lose 150 coins per set, 20 sets would only be 3 taels of silver, which would be enough to make up for it with one bottle of Snow Jade Skin Rejuvenating Cream, and the remaining two bottles would be pure profit.

Thinking of this, Boss Xing immediately made a decision and readily said, "Okay! As Boss Meng said, I'll take all three bottles of Snow Jade Skin Rejuvenating Cream and the twenty sets of Honey and Astragalus Gift Boxes!"
