All-around doctor Rong Sheng, after being brought to ancient times by a system, was as busy as a spinning top treating illnesses.
She was too tired and wanted to go home to leisurely farm.
Therefore, thanks to Rong's Cosmetics, the original rouge and face powder from Qinxiang Pavilion were completely sold out. There was no loss, but no huge profit either – enough!
At least Su Wenlan felt it was enough; otherwise, given the original speed at which Qinxiang Pavilion sold rouge and face powder, these products would probably have expired before they could be sold out.
In order to make Rong's Cosmetics and Qinxiang Pavilion more and more famous and attract more and more people to buy Rong's Cosmetics, Rong Mu asked people to promote Rong's Cosmetics in several nearby counties. However, in order to make Rong's Cosmetics known to more people, Rong Mu personally took one hundred sets of cosmetics and went with Su Wenlan to several neighboring counties to promote Rong's Cosmetics and Qinxiang Pavilion.
Because of Rong Mu's promotion, more and more people came to Qinxiang Pavilion to buy Rong's cosmetics, which made their rouge and face powder sell extremely well. Their reputation became known to everyone, and everyone knew that Qinxiang Pavilion's reputation was not a lie, but all true.
With Rong Sheng personally involved in the production, Rong's Cosmetics instantly became a sensation in Wenhong County. Coupled with Rong Mu and Su Wenlan's efforts in promoting it in other counties, Rong's Cosmetics and Qinxiang Pavilion quickly became a blessing for all women.
Even wealthy ladies and young women from other counties made special trips to Qinxiang Pavilion in Wenhong County to buy Rong's cosmetics, which made Rong's cosmetics more and more famous, overshadowing the once-popular rouge and face powder.
This also caused Rong Sheng's prepared cosmetics to be sold out, making Rong's cosmetics even more sought after, and more and more people placed orders for Rong's cosmetics.
Seeing the unprecedented success, Su Wenlan gave Rong Mu a thumbs up: "Rong Mu, you are really amazing! I didn't expect that after your promotion, Rong's Cosmetics would reach new heights, and our Qinxiang Pavilion would also make a fortune!"
Rong Mu was quite embarrassed, as these methods were all learned from the business manual Rong Sheng gave him, and had little to do with his own abilities.
However, such a booming business meant that Ronghua didn't have to worry about the money to buy or rent land, because the sales of Rong's Cosmetics had already exceeded 100,000 taels of silver.
"The success of Rong's Cosmetics is all thanks to you, Miss Su. Without your help, how could it have sold so well? So I thank you here!"
As he spoke, Rong Mu bowed to Su Wenlan, startling her. However, Rong Mu's gesture pleased her, as he hadn't used money to thank her, thus creating distance between them.
Su Wenlan did not tell Rong Mu that while they were promoting Rong's Cosmetics in other counties, she sent news about Rong's Cosmetics to the capital. The noble ladies in the capital would definitely keep an eye on Rong's Cosmetics, regardless of whether the news was true or not.
When the Rong family cosmetics she sent to the capital are fully displayed on her friends and family, more and more people will buy them. Therefore, Rong Sheng will produce Rong family cosmetics in large quantities for the noble ladies and wives of the capital to buy.
There's no need to overthink it. If the noble ladies of the capital knew about the effects of Rong's Cosmetics, they would definitely rush to Wenhong County or send people to buy Rong's Cosmetics. I'm afraid that their Qinxiang Pavilion business would be even better than it is now, truly a situation where supply couldn't meet demand.
If Rong Mu were to open a Qinxiang Pavilion in the capital, he could probably sell out all the cosmetics and pharmaceuticals there within half a day! And many people would be unable to buy Rong's cosmetics and pharmaceuticals!
You should know that wealthy families in the capital are not short of money. One hundred taels of silver is nothing to them. As long as the cosmetics are effective, they will become loyal customers of Qinxiangge and Rong's Cosmetics.
Rong Sheng exchanged all her medical ethics points for cosmetics and had Rong Mu sell them at Qinxiang Pavilion. At the same time, she instructed Rong Mu to keep a low profile and not let people know that they had a lot of cosmetics, otherwise the enthusiasm of people to buy Rong's cosmetics would be greatly reduced. Although the effect would not be greatly reduced, as long as people's enthusiasm remained, Rong's cosmetics could last.
Rong Mu fully understood Rong Sheng's meaning: only by controlling the quantity of Rong's cosmetics and creating a situation of supply falling short of demand could the cosmetics be made more valuable. Since Rong's cosmetics were made by Rong Sheng alone, the daily production quantity was limited, which indicated that scarcity would make them more valuable.
As long as Rong Mu fully utilizes the psychology of customers not being able to get what they want, and whets their appetite, more people who want to buy Rong's Cosmetics will be focused on Qinxiang Pavilion and Rong's Cosmetics, thus ensuring that they can buy Rong's Cosmetics as soon as possible.
This is called scarcity marketing!
However, it's important to strike the right balance, otherwise the losses will outweigh the gains.
Just in case, Rong Sheng asked the system to keep an eye on things to prevent any mishaps.
Rong Mu made a lot of money from cosmetics, and he took some time to send the money home and give it to Rong Hua.
Since returning, Ronghua has been helping Han Chan and her brother build their house. Because the county magistrate invited all the workers and able-bodied people in the county to help, the house was completed in less than three days.
Not only were the houses for Han Chan and her siblings completed, but the houses in Shanggui Village and Xiagui Village were also finished. Thanks to the good weather these past few days, everyone worked diligently and without incident. After inspection, every house met the standards, so people began cleaning their new homes. For families like Han Chan's, the county magistrate would give them a set of furniture and let them clean it themselves.
Han Chan's injuries have improved, and she no longer needs to be treated at Huimin Medical Clinic all the time. Rong Sheng prescribed a lot of medicine for her and repeatedly told Han Chan to take the medicine and apply the medicine as prescribed so that she could recover faster.
So Han Chan went home with Rong Mu.
The moment they returned home, both Han Chan and Rong Mu were stunned by what they saw: the houses were brand new and magnificent.
The new village also has several wide and flat roads, where two horse-drawn carriages can definitely travel at the same time without causing congestion.
Empty spaces have been left along both sides of the road, with the intention of planting trees or fruit trees that are suitable for the northern climate in these spaces when spring arrives.
It's not completely finished yet; some houses haven't been built, but it won't be long.
"A new home? Our new home?" Han Chan looked at the magnificent new house standing there, as if she were in a dream. Her face was full of disbelief. In just a few days, their new home was completed. It was wonderful!
Dad, Mom, can you see? My brother and I have a new house that's been built, and we'll be moving in soon.
We'll never have to live those miserable days again, when we didn't have enough to eat or wear!
After Han Chan and her brother's new home was completed, Han Tao followed Rong Hua to the Rong family to help with the work and also to help the Rong clan members. Han Tao understood in his heart that he and his brother were able to have such a happy life because of Rong Hua's family.
Therefore, I will do my best to thank Rong Hua's family and the Rong clan.
