Daixiang came back from buying groceries with a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong?"
"Sister Mu, why is there no movement at all from the Lei's business?" Dai Xiang watched as Gu's business flourished, while their rouge shop was completely still.
"No rush, it takes time to make those things."
Judging by the time, it should be soon.
On the eve of the winter solstice, the Lei's Trading Company, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly started beating drums and gongs.
Gu's Trading Company naturally heard about the movement at Lei's Trading Company and sent a clerk over to inquire about the news. Soon the clerk came hurriedly.
"how?"
"Lei's has introduced several new rouges and powders. Their owner said that they are more effective than our rouges and cheaper." The clerk finished all the information he had found out in one breath.
The shopkeeper of Gu's frowned, "How is that possible? Do they really have that ability?"
"I heard it absolutely."
"Go buy a few boxes and try them out," instructed the shopkeeper Gu.
When the shop assistant went to buy it, he found that it had been sold out. Although many women were hesitant, the cheap price and the discounted price of only half the price naturally made many women willing to buy it and try it out.
If it's really as they say, then there's no loss at all.
When Daixiang returned from shopping, she hurried to the front hall. "Sister Mu, there's finally some news. The company has launched our rouge, and it sold out in no time."
"Yeah." This time was a few days earlier than she expected.
"What's strange is that they don't have whitening cream, anti-aging cream, moisturizing cream, anti-wrinkle cream, etc. all on the market at the same time. They don't even have an ice cream."
Little Moer explained softly, "This is called throwing a brick to attract jade."
If these whitening creams were launched first and then rouge, people would only be interested in the whitening creams, and the rouge would be relegated to a lower class.
Now, let's launch the rouge first, let everyone know that their rouge is better than Gu's, and put Lei's rouge on the same level as Bingji Cream. Then, we can launch something even better. Once those things come out, the effect will only be even better.
With good rouge as a foundation, these things don't need any promotion at all, everyone will buy it.
Daixiang nodded, not quite understanding.
Xiao Moer patiently explained it to her, and Daixiang finally understood the twists and turns involved.
A few days later, Lei's rouge became famous and was sought after for its low price and good quality.
Southern Tang Kingdom·Gu Mansion
Today is a busy day in the Gu Mansion. The shopkeepers from all the major prefectures have come to Chang'an to report their semi-annual profits.
This year, thanks to the release of a new type of rouge, all the major provincial governments had made a lot of money, so their accounts naturally looked very good. When the shopkeepers entered, each one was beaming with joy.
After everyone was seated, Gu Pianran walked into the hall.
After seeing her, all the shopkeepers stood up and saluted Gu Pianran.
"My lady."
After Gu Pianran sat down, he gestured to everyone, "Please sit down."
"Now let Manager Zhang start the report." Gu Pianran said.
Shopkeeper Zhang, who was sitting at the very end, stood up and began to report with a smile.
After he finished his report, Gu Pianran smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Zhang."
Next, the shopkeepers took turns reporting.
When it was the fifth person's turn, a maid came hurriedly and handed a letter to Gu Pianran. Gu Pianran opened it with a smile, but after reading the contents of the letter, the smile on her face disappeared.
