Chapter 484 Earning Too Much
The Rong'an Marquis and Madam Meng, who were originally waiting to watch the show, were stunned.
More jealous
In fact, Xu Zhichun was also stunned.
She didn't expect the sales to be so hot.
She carefully selected these items, knowing that they existed in this era but were relatively rare, so she set the prices very high.
Not to mention anything else, just those lipsticks, selling 500 pieces would make 25,000 taels, pure profit, with no cost at all.
The same goes for various other delicate and exquisite goods.
But she didn't expect that even though she had set the price so high, it still couldn't deter most customers.
She originally calculated that these things could be sold for a month or so, so she would only need to replenish the stock two or three times a month.
He made a lot of money leisurely.
Unexpectedly, all the goods were sold out after just five days of opening.
The most exaggerated one was the lipstick, which sold out within a day.
Next came pearl necklaces, bracelets, pendants, earrings of all sizes, as well as beads that had not yet been strung into finished products. They were all sold out in two and a half days, with a net profit of more than 80,000 taels of silver.
Including all other things, he made no less than 200,000 taels in the past few days.
Xu Zhichun sighed: There are so many rich people in Beijing
She was so scared that she quickly closed the shop and told others that the goods had not arrived yet and were sold out.
From then on, the store would be open on the second and sixteenth day of every month, and would be closed whenever the goods were sold out.
As for what exactly she sells each time, she doesn't know. She has to see what her supplier provides her.
Sell whatever you have.
Or if you have something you particularly want but can't find, you can leave a message and she will help you keep an eye out for it. Of course, the price will be very expensive.
This incident caused a huge uproar in the capital and became big news, and Xu Zhichun was helpless.
What else could she do?
Some people also asked who supplied her with the goods. Xu Zhichun only said that the other party was very mysterious, and she didn't know why the other party chose her instead of others.
The other party made three rules with her: she must not disclose the other party's information, she must sell whatever he gave her, and she must not follow or inquire about other people's affairs.
Fortunately, due to Liang Minglang's current status, no one dares to do anything to her.
As for the supply channels she mentioned, although everyone was envious, no one had the nerve to interfere and take over.
I just envy her good luck. After all, Western goods are notoriously rare.
If she could get hold of such a connection, even if she only had a few business trips a year, it would be enough to make her a lot of money.
Xu Zhichun himself thought so too, so the three shops in prime locations were usually closed, for fear that others would gossip about them.
The Marquis of Rong'an and his wife were particularly furious. They had taken over their shop, and yet it was left operating so carelessly? It was closed and empty for most of the month.
What they lost was all silver, and it was the silver that should have belonged to them!
But they couldn't even mock Xu Zhichun for being clueless and getting the shop for free without making any money.
It's not that they don't make money, it's that they make too much! They don't know the exact amount they've earned in the past few days, but a rough calculation suggests it's more than they've made in three years combined.
That profiteer! That cunning and greedy woman! Selling a tiny bottle of perfume for seventy or eighty taels of silver is like robbing money. Yet, so many people are willing to be fooled, vying to give her money.
It's so frustrating and I don't know where to start complaining.
Mrs. Meng was also very jealous. Seeing that Xu Zhichun's shop was probably empty for most of the month, she couldn't help but come up with the idea of renting it.
It sounds good, she only uses it when Xu Zhichun is closed and not doing business, and when she opens the business, she will keep it so that it does not affect her
In fact, she was happily making plans while she was thinking about it. When Xu Zhichun opened for business, no matter what she sold, she would have to stock up a lot of goods and sell them together with Xu Zhichun's goods. People had to buy her goods before they were allowed to buy Xu Zhichun's goods. Otherwise, Xu Zhichun would not sell those rare goods.
She felt that Xu Zhichun would definitely not refuse such an opportunity where everyone could make money. After all, she didn't intend to take advantage of her for nothing, so she would give her a share.
Xu Zhichun was speechless after hearing her excitedly talking about a bunch of nonsense, and politely declined.
Mrs. Meng couldn't believe it. "I'm just occupying the shop when you're not open. It doesn't affect you. Why not? Besides, I'm not using your shop for free. I pay you rent."
"That's inappropriate and inconvenient. Even if my shop is closed, the decorations and furnishings must be arranged properly and cleaned every day. It can't be destroyed."
Mrs. Meng found it difficult to understand and was just angry.
She believed that Xu Zhichun was petty and did it on purpose.
"What's this talk of brothers, about sharing happiness and hardships? Humph, it's all a joke! He's a marquis now, and you're just a small fourth-rank general. How can he take you seriously? He'd rather leave his good shop empty than find an excuse not to rent it to me. I'm not asking for it for nothing, so why? You're so stingy!"
"You said you could help me if anything happened, ha! If something does happen, it would be a good thing if you don't add insult to injury!"
"It's because you're not motivated. If you were motivated, your husband would be honored and I would be respected, and I wouldn't be looked down upon like this. How dare Xu, a peasant woman who appeared out of nowhere, treat me like this?"
“.”
Mrs. Meng cried and wiped her tears, feeling very aggrieved.
General Meng's face was as gloomy as iron, and he was filled with anger and resentment.
Some time after Xu Zhichun came to Beijing, the Queen finally summoned him.
She was a little nervous, but Liang Minglang smiled and comforted her, "Hasn't the palace maid already instructed you on the proper etiquette for an audience with the Empress? Just make sure you don't make any mistakes. The Empress is very kind and generous, and won't quibble over trivial matters. Just relax."
Xu Zhichun smiled helplessly. How could he feel at ease?
No matter how kind she is, she is still the queen!
She still gets nervous.
However, I am also a little bit expectant and curious, after all, I have never seen the queen.
The next day, Nanny Feng accompanied Xu Zhichun into the palace and met the queen in Kunning Palace.
Since arriving in Beijing, Xu Zhichun had never publicized the fact that he was Madam Shanci, either internally or externally, and he had never boasted about anything he had done in his hometown.
Although she found that many sweet potatoes and potatoes were planted in the north, and she was very happy that a few families planted them, she never boasted about it.
But the queen obviously knew everything about her.
After she paid her respects, the queen hurriedly asked someone to help her up and let her sit down.
