The shopkeepers sitting down looked at her in surprise, not knowing what had happened.
"What a Lei family!" Gu Pianran suppressed his anger.
The shopkeeper Gu, who was in charge of Chang'an, asked, "Miss, what happened?"
"I just received a notice that Lei's Trading Company has released a new rouge. The effect of the rouge is slightly better than ours, and the price is two cents lower. Right now, no one in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty is buying Gu's rouge. It won't be long before this rouge is introduced to Southern Tang, and then there will be no more of our Gu's rouge."
They are clearly against them.
Trying to defeat them with low prices.
The stewards below saw that the eldest lady's face was not very happy, and none of them dared to speak.
Gu Pianran looked coldly at the chief treasurers of the major prefectures below, "What good countermeasures do you have?"
Seven or eight shopkeepers looked at each other in confusion.
Shopkeeper Zhang, who was sitting at the very end, said, "They want to use price to suppress us, so we'll lower our prices too."
After hearing this suggestion, Gu Pianran's expression did not improve at all. "Does anyone else have any other ideas?"
No one responded, everyone was silent.
Gu Pianran was very disappointed with them. No one could come up with any ideas at this time.
Shopkeeper Gu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Miss, if we simply lower the price, it won't be a long-term solution. For now, we must improve the quality of our rouge. Only then can we retain our customers. Lowering the price is a last resort."
Gu Pianran naturally knew this truth. She looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"Let's stop here for today."
Gu Pianran no longer had the heart to listen to their report and hurriedly left the conference room.
She went straight to the secret room, where various instruments were placed. This room was where she did experiments. All of Gu's best-selling products were developed in this secret room.
Gu Pianran looked at a plant of Sucuihong in a porcelain vase with a hesitant look.
If she wanted to improve the quality, she could only increase the amount of Su Cui Hong. This way, the effect would be faster and better, and it would definitely surpass Lei's rouge. However, she was afraid of something going wrong if the amount was increased.
Forget it, I'll make one portion first and let the others try it to see if there are any adverse reactions. If not, I can change the amount of the recipe.
Gu Pianran started to act without hesitation.
In the front hall, Tang Jingyu came. When the maids saw her, they hurried over to find the eldest lady.
When Xia He heard that Prince Jin was coming, she glanced at the closed study and did not go forward to disturb him.
The eldest lady has ordered that no matter who comes, no one is allowed to come in.
Xia He went to the front hall and saw Tang Jingyu. "Your Majesty, my young lady is in the study dealing with important matters. I'm afraid she won't be available today."
"But what happened?" Tang Jingyu asked.
Xia He did not hide anything and directly told what had happened before.
"The Lei family has released a new rouge and is suppressing our company. The young lady is worried about this matter."
Tang Jingyu frowned, "If the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't work out, then your young lady shouldn't enter. As for the Southern Tang, the Lei family can't cause any major trouble."
The Lei Company must be so bold as to want to suppress his woman.
"Tell Pianran to rest assured that the Lei family can't do anything to her in Southern Tang."
