Compared to the scene in the court, Yun Miao was really immersed in the joy of vacation at this time.
Regarding the chaos in the martial arts world, it seemed as if it had nothing to do with her.
After all, she has more important things to do now.
At this time, in the huge garden, in front of the main gate of the wealthy family's courtyard.
Yun Miao was wearing a blue mink fur robe. She had returned to her girlish attire and was slowly getting off the parked carriage.
Beside her were He Yao and Tan Yao. As for Tao Yao and Li Yao, one went to keep an eye on Yue Ge, while the other stayed in the yard to protect Su Fan.
At this moment, He Yao and Tan Yao were both looking at the tall gated courtyard in front of them with confusion. He Yao was very curious and couldn't help asking, "Miss, where is this?"
"The Bai family." Yun Miao said lightly.
When they go out, He Yao and the others would call her "Miss" instead of "Immortal Lord".
Bai family?
It was the first time that Taoyao and the other three heard of the existence of this family.
But Yun Miao smiled softly. "The Bai family is a major perfume maker in the capital, with many shops throughout the city. I was considering opening a shop selling beauty creams and lotions, but I found that the market for women's beauty products in the capital is not only saturated but also very reluctant to enter. Although some of the finished products sold by Shengbaoju were previously bought by wealthy women, it has yet to gain popularity in the general public market."
The Bai family has its own refinery and system, and is not short of manpower. If we can form an incense-making alliance with the Bai family from the beginning of opening a shop, it will be mutually beneficial and will go much more smoothly."
"But Miss, everything you sell is top quality, guaranteed by Shengbaoju. Once your customers use your things, it'll be hard to imagine them not being snatched up by the entire capital. Why would you even give them a share?" He Yao was puzzled. It was obvious that the Bai family was taking advantage of the situation.
Yun Miao looked at her and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Then what do you think, your lady, I opened a shop just to make money?"
"Of course not. Miss, you are rich enough to rival a country. The treasure house of the Immortal Palace is at your disposal. Moreover, you can make medicine, so you are naturally not short of money. He Yao thinks that you must be doing this out of interest and hobby!" He Yao spoke after careful consideration.
Yun Miao explained, "The beauty industry in Beijing is complex, and forcing my way into it would be too exhausting. And coincidentally, I usually don't have that kind of energy. But if I can create beauty cream to benefit everyone while also taking care of everything else in the shop, having a strong partner will naturally help me last longer."
Even if one day she quits her job and wants to retire, this skill will not be lost.
Naturally, this partner also needs to be worthy of her teaching.
"Why does the young lady choose the Bai family?" Tan Yao next to her rarely spoke.
Looking at the aloof and beautiful maid, Yun Miao raised an eyebrow and explained, "It's said that the Bai family has an excellent reputation in the capital. They're a major incense-making family with a history of over a hundred years. However, they've only begun to show signs of decline in the past two years. It's normal for them to expand their market and seek new opportunities. I'll have to visit them to confirm the details."
After Yun Miao finished speaking, she walked towards the main gate of the Bai family.
When the two servants at the door saw Yun Miao, they asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"We are here to visit Master Bai. I wonder if he is at home now?" Yun Miao asked politely.
The servant looked Yun Miao up and down and said, "Our master never meets guests easily. If you want to meet him, please introduce yourself first."
"I am a humble pharmacist, just a small pharmacist. I have some new products that I would like to discuss with Master Bai. These are some perfumes and ointments that I developed. Please send them to Master Bai to have a look." Yun Miao took out two exquisite jade bottles from the bag around her waist and handed them to the servant in front of her.
Seeing that the other party was so polite, the servant naturally couldn't continue to chase him away.
He could only put away the jade bottle that Yun Miao handed over and said, "Okay, then please wait a moment, young lady."
Having said that, he turned and left.
At this time, it was the lobby of the Bai family.
Bai Jinsong, the head of the Bai family, was sitting in the main seat.
He gazed at the core management of the Bai Family Chamber of Commerce gathered below, then frowned and said, "There are many powerful pharmaceutical experts and talented people in the capital now. If our Bai Family's formulas don't adjust, they will soon be replaced. Competition is fierce, and the Bai Family, a century-old brand, has been stagnant in recent years. Despite our stringent quality control, we've struggled to achieve breakthroughs. Even Shengbaoju is auctioning off its beauty cream at exorbitant prices, yet our Bai Family remains closed-minded and inflexible."
"But... Old man, the incense and sachets made by our Bai family are also loved by the ladies in the court! And the perfumed ointments, don't the young ladies of each family like them very much? Our Bai family has been making incense for a hundred years and has rich experience. Those young men from outside the sect just casually make some low-quality incense, which is only liked by some common people without taste. Our products are of high quality and strict prices, and we are targeting the aristocratic market. How can you compare our Bai family with those small and second-rate merchants?" One of the old masters said dissatisfiedly.
The others also showed the same expression.
The Bai family's craftsmanship is complex and diverse, and many of the skills are passed down from generation to generation.
I don't follow the crowd nowadays, but it's just that people in the aristocratic circle like to try new things. After they find out that those things are just for show, they will definitely turn back. There is no need to rush.
"Yes! Old man, you are still too worried."
"We are a major incense maker. No one is more proficient in the art of incense than the Bai family. Others' opportunistic practices are just to please those noble ladies for a while. Over time, they will realize that our Bai family's craftsmanship is the best."
But Bai Jinsong frowned.
The management of the Bai family are all older and have worked hard with the Bai family. Their mindsets have long been focused on pursuing stability and have lost the vitality of innovation and adventure.
Blind self-confidence makes you unaware of the earth-shaking changes in the outside world.
"Compared to the monotonous perfume-making products, ladies now prefer skin care products that leave a fragrance on the body and can beautify the skin. Although our perfume is good, it only has the effect of leaving a fragrance. The perfume has not made any new breakthroughs, and most customers say that they are tired of the smell. However, several beauty creams sold by Shengbaoju some time ago have become famous in the aristocratic circle. I got this from my wife, you can smell it." After Bai Jinsong finished speaking, he placed a bottle of beauty cream in a round white jade bottle on the table.
After hearing this, everyone moved closer doubtfully.
One of the old men with a frizzy white beard was the first to pick up the beauty cream. "It doesn't look anything special. The packaging isn't even as good as our perfume essence..."
But when he brought the paste close to his nose, his eyes widened.
