After being beaten by his mother, Huo Youcai wanted to throw the thing away.
But remembering that the little bottle was a gift from the boss, I didn't dare throw it away.
Mr. Hob had lived for decades and this was the first time he had ever seen bottled spices... no, perfumes.
This reminded him of the kaleidoscope that Prince Gan had given to the Empress Dowager at her birthday banquet.
It's a rare find.
...
While she was confined to her courtyard on New Year's Day, preparing various cosmetics, she was unaware that a fragrance called perfume had spread among the women of the capital.
It wasn't until Huo Youcai came to ask her when she would start selling perfume that she learned about what had happened at the Huo residence on New Year's Day.
"I have a few more bottles here, you can take them." Yuan Dan handed the newly formulated perfume to Huo Youcai.
"Then what about the price..."
On New Year's Day, after doing some calculations of the prices of the time, the price was finally set at: "ten taels of silver per bottle".
Cosmetics stores offer high-end services and cater to the wives and daughters of high-ranking officials and wealthy families in Beijing, so their prices cannot be set too low, but they also cannot be too high.
Huo Youcai hesitated and said, "Isn't it too cheap to sell such a rare item for only ten taels of silver?"
Yuan Dan shook his head: "The ingredients for perfume are not hard to find, and the price is reasonable."
Huo Youcai now follows his boss's every word without question.
But what he didn't expect was that these few bottles of perfume would sell for an astronomical price.
Because the quantity of perfume was so limited, ladies from all walks of life competed to buy it, driving the price up to a thousand taels per bottle. The last bottle was even sold for a thousand gold pieces.
Huo Youcai: "..."
The boss was right after all.
Women's money is so easy to earn.
Huo Xiaobawang never expected that women's money came from there.
It's all thanks to you grown men.
She didn't intend to implement any scarcity marketing strategy for New Year's Day, but she did indeed have a limited number of perfumes.
"Little Fatty, go find a few perfumers."
"Perfumer?" Huo Youcai immediately understood what his boss meant. "Boss, do you want to teach others how to make perfume?"
"Hmm." She was too busy making perfumes and other cosmetics by herself, so she thought it would be better to teach the techniques to others.
"But what if someone leaks the secret recipe?"
In this day and age, people who have any unique secret recipes will not easily pass them on to others.
Yuan Dan naturally understands this point, and there is no copyright protection law in this era: "So we have to put our trademarks on the products."
What is a trademark?
"It's the label. As soon as customers see this label, they know it's our product. If someone else makes the same product as us, it's a fake."
Huo Youcai was completely confused, but he trusted his boss: "If someone sells the same things as us, I'll bring people to their shop and smash it up."
Huo Xiaobawang says: Super fierce!
New Year's Day: "As long as you're happy."
Besides formulating cosmetics and perfumes, I also took some time during New Year's Day to check out the store's interior design.
She didn't decorate the shop in a modern style, but incorporated some modern design concepts, such as transparent display cases and carved, lacquered shelves.
Cosmetics stores must have mirrors, but the clarity of ancient bronze mirrors is something I really can't recommend for New Year's Day.
So she set her sights on Xiao Changqi.
She had heard that Xiao Changqi had successfully given away the kaleidoscope at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, which showed that the other party had already found the plane mirror.
"Is it really appropriate for me to go empty-handed?" Yuan Dan muttered to herself, then turned around, went back to her room, grabbed a bottle of men's cologne she had recently developed, and went out.
