In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.
The winter month is coming to an end, and it has been more than half a month since the opening of the Dianjiangchun jewelry store, which Chi Tang and Yun Zhao co-founded.
Ladies and young ladies in the capital city consider it an honor to wear zodiac animal bracelets.
Each of the twelve zodiac animal bracelets has twelve bracelets for each animal, but each one has a slightly different color scheme.
Therefore, it can be said that each one is unique.
In less than half a month, they were all given away.
What followed was a surge in sales!
Yun Zhao counts money until his hands cramp up every day.
Sister-in-law Chi, whose restaurant had been open for a month, couldn't help but exclaim, "My sister and Yunzhao are really amazing. Their sales in just half a month are equivalent to my restaurant's income for two months."
It would be a lie to say I'm not envious, but it's not much.
Because her restaurant also makes a considerable amount of money.
Sister-in-law Chi has also made up her mind.
After she earns back her initial investment and keeps some working capital, she plans to buy a house and shops in the capital.
He bought a house and a shop for each of his three sons and his aunt.
Yes, my sister-in-law can buy more to use as part of her dowry!
"It's only like this because we just opened. After two or three months, when things calm down, there won't be as many customers," Chi Tang said with a grin.
Who would complain about having too much money?
"Miss, Miss! Prince Anping has been captured alive! We've won! Now we just wait for the army to return in triumph!"
Excited shouts came from outside.
Who wouldn't be happy to win a battle?
"Really? Then the stars are coming back?" Sister Chi's heart immediately settled down.
Although we can't see the stars yet, the war is over, and the danger posed by the stars has been greatly reduced, which puts the mother's mind at ease.
At least I should be able to get a good night's sleep.
“Such a happy occasion, let’s do a joint activity?” Chi Tang suddenly said.
"Joint activities?"
Sister-in-law Chi and Yun Zhao did not understand.
"At both of our stores, everyone who makes a purchase will receive a 10% discount. Purchases over 20 taels of silver will get a 20% discount, and purchases over 100 taels will get a 34% discount. Furthermore, at the jewelry store, purchases over 120 taels will not only receive a 34% discount, but also a 2-tael silver voucher for the restaurant. This 2-tael voucher can only be used after a purchase of 100 taels of silver; it applies to both the discount and the voucher! Let's do this between our two stores!"
Actually, the customers of the two stores have something in common.
That means they have strong spending power and their families are wealthy.
Otherwise, could one buy jewelry that costs tens of taels of silver cheaper or hundreds of taels of silver more easily?
People who buy this kind of jewelry value quality of life, so naturally they're willing to spend money on it.
It's not human to not take advantage of a cheap deal.
With this mindset in mind, if you get a discount coupon from one store to another, you definitely have to go there.
I was originally going to buy a piece of jewelry for seventy taels, but I got a 66% discount if I spent over one hundred taels! That's such a great deal, I have to buy more!
With that kind of mentality, there's no doubt that many people will buy it.
"...Tangtang, even though more people will buy it this way, and we can make a lot of money with low profit margins, we won't actually earn much more than we do now."
After fiddling with the abacus for a few moments, Yun Zhao spoke after some thought.
After all, a 66% discount is too big; they don't make much profit.
Chi Tang didn't care: "This discount was originally to celebrate the victory, so it doesn't matter if we earn a little less."
"Tangtang is right, let's do it!"
The two women hit it off immediately and made the decision happily.
Yun Zhao wasn't someone who cared much about money; she was just reminding Chi Tang that she hadn't done the math.
Seeing that Chi Tang didn't care, he didn't say anything more and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
Unsurprisingly, the restaurants and jewelry stores were flooded with customers!
After that, many shops in Beijing followed suit!
That's a story for another time.
Half a month later, Prince Anping was escorted back to the capital, and the army returned in triumph.
The Chi family happily prepared a large table of dishes, as well as things that Xingxing might like, and were just waiting for Xingxing to come back.
Unfortunately, the stars didn't return during the day; they only returned drunkenly at night.
It's obvious that he came back after drinking celebratory wine.
"Star!"
Upon seeing her son, Sister Chi could no longer hold back. She ran over as fast as she could, hugged her son tightly, and burst into tears!
She clearly despised women like that the most, but at this moment, all she wanted to do was hold her son and cry.
Although Xingxing was drunk, she wasn't knocked down by Sister-in-law Chi. Instead, she held her mother tightly, her voice deep and resonant:
"Mother, I'm back. I'm back safe and sound."
There were no missing limbs or any life-threatening injuries.
"Okay, it's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
Supported by her husband, Aunt Chi looked her grandson up and down, tears streaming down her face.
The old lady endured for a long time, but when she saw that her daughter-in-law showed no intention of letting go of her grandson, she got impatient and started to pull him away herself.
"Have you held him enough? Let me see my grandson."
The saying "the youngest son, the eldest grandson, is the old lady's lifeblood" is not just empty talk.
Although Aunt Chi tries her best to treat all her children and grandchildren equally.
But among her grandchildren, the old lady's favorite thing was the stars.
Perhaps it was because he was her first grandson that her feelings were different.
"Mommy, don't cry. If you don't let go, Grandma just beat you," Xingxing joked.
Sister-in-law Chi immediately let go of her son, wiping away her tears with amusement: "Nonsense."
Aunt Chi didn't care about being teased by her grandson. She immediately surrounded him, looking him up and down, and then tried to lift his clothes.
