Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Zhu Yanxiao had already understood her routine and immediately interrupted Shen Shenshen: "Second Miss Shen, please get to the point."

Shen Shen rolled his eyes in his heart: Humph~ Isn't this providing you with emotional value? Forget it.

"Wait, I'm thirsty, let me drink some water." Shen Shenshen naturally walked to the table that was obviously of extraordinary quality, picked up the tea that the maid had just brought, and drank it all in one breath. After drinking a cup, she picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea, and drank another cup.

The posture was ugly and not elegant at all. Zhu Yanxiao stared at her without saying a word.

Shen Shen finished drinking the tea and turned to look at Zhu Yanxiao: "Ziyuan, the tea in your palace is indeed top quality, not bad."

"Speak! More! Harder!"

Zhu Yanxiao almost uttered these three words through gritted teeth.

"I know, I know!" Shen Shen saw that he was on the verge of going berserk, and immediately responded obediently.

"Ziyuan, let me ask another question. What is the average price of jewelry at Heyinlou now?"

“Average price?”

"Um... Which style of jewelry sells best at Heyinlou?"

"Golden step-shaking."

"What percentage of Heyinlou's sales does it account for?"

"Sixty to seventy percent."

"How much silver would it cost to buy an ordinary golden hairpin from Heyinlou?"

"About four taels of silver."

"Let me do the math for you. Based on the annual income of a wealthy businessman, we'll take the middle value, which is twenty-one taels of silver. An ordinary hairpin at Heyinlou sells for about four taels of silver, which accounts for 19% of the annual revenue. Let me do the math..." Shen Shen quickly calculated the positioning of luxury goods in his previous life in his mind.

Nineteen percent? What is this? Zhu Yanxiao was puzzled, but he did not interrupt the girl's thoughts. He stared at the serious and intelligent woman he had never seen before.

Zhu Zhixi felt that she was Shen Shenshen's mentor, a talented woman who could recognize heroes with her discerning eyes. Brother Ziyuan should thank her for bringing a genius to the Marquis' Mansion. Was she just playing the pig to eat the tiger? Humph~ Those women who looked down on Shen Shen behind his back should wait for their faces to be slapped. At the next gathering, you will see a different second lady of the Shen family.

The study was silent for about half a cup of tea. Shen Shenshen estimated the proportion of luxury goods that could be purchased by the income of the previous life. She said to Zhu Yanxiao: "Ziyuan, I suggest that our Heyinlou take the golden hairpin as an example and increase the price by two taels of silver to six taels of silver."

Before Zhu Yanxiao could reply, Zhu Zhixi exclaimed, "Six taels of silver for a golden hairpin? Shenshen, you are crazy. The price that Zhaixinglou charges for Heyinlou is already 10% lower than the price. If we raise the price, won't there be even fewer customers to buy it?"

"Zhi Xi!" Zhu Yanxiao interrupted, his slightly rising tone expressing his dissatisfaction with his sister's impatience. Then he continued in a cold voice, "Second Miss Shen, please continue."

Zhu Zhixi immediately stopped talking and shut up.

Shen Shenshen continued: "The price has been raised to six taels of silver. The purpose is to make Heyinlou jewelry a luxury item as I just said. Let everyone know that not everyone can afford the jewelry of the palace. As Zhixi said just now, customers think it is too expensive and stop patronizing? Oh, that's okay. You can go to Zhaixinglou to buy cheaper ones. We don't sell this kind of jewelry that is common in the streets at Heyinlou, thank you. But if you own a piece of Heyinlou jewelry, then congratulations, you have reached the threshold of the noble class, and this jewelry is something you can show off."

Capital for showing off? Another sentence that he couldn't understand. Zhu Yanxiao frowned slightly. How many times had he frowned today? Because it was the first time that he felt that he could only rely on guessing to understand the meaning of a woman's discussion. This feeling made him very uncomfortable and not very happy.

"Six taels of silver... means that the price of Heyinlou jewelry will rise instead of fall..." Zhu Yanxiao whispered in thought, while tapping lightly on the valuable solid wooden table with his index finger.

Shen Shen looked at Zhu Yanxiao confidently and said, "Ziyuan, believe me, everyone has vanity, especially nobles or wealthy people, who are worried about not being able to find a place to show off their wealth."

Zhu Yanxiao nodded slightly, thinking that what Shen Shen said made sense: "Second Miss Shen, the idea you discussed with us today is too bold for the palace. At present, I cannot give you an accurate answer. You must report it to your father before making a decision."

"I understand this. But time waits for no one, Xiao Zhu. Is the prince in the palace today? Otherwise... should we go to the prince and make a plea now?"

"Xiao Zhu?" Zhu Zhixi couldn't help but repeat it exaggeratedly.

Zhu Yanxiao glanced at his sister with cold eyes, and Zhu Zhixi immediately behaved obediently: shut up, lower your head, and play with your fingers.

Prince Zhu then said in an even colder voice: "Second Miss Shen, I remember clearly telling you that Ziyuan is the greatest tolerance I can give you."

Shen Shen grinned, clasped his hands together and acted pitiful: "Oh, little... Ziyuan, I know. I was just too impatient. I won't do it again, I promise, I promise." After saying that, he blinked his bright eyes at Zhu Yanxiao.

Damn it, does she know what she is doing?

Zhu Yanxiao found that he couldn't look Shen Shen in the face, and immediately turned his head away from her. Then he remembered that the meeting was at a critical moment, and he sighed helplessly, and turned his perfect and delicate face back. At this time, his tone was no longer happy: "The last question, and the most important one, what are the conditions or purpose for Miss Shen's active help to Heyinlou?"

"Hehe. Ziyuan, we are already very familiar with each other, right? That is... I'm going to say it straight... Haha..."

She touched her nose a little embarrassedly and said, "After I have explained these methods, there are still many things to follow up. You can leave them to me. If you implement them according to my plan, the money earned by Heyinlou will be... divided with me."

When Zhu Yanxiao heard this, he was shocked: Are you here to ask for money?

He had a half-smile on his face, and his expression that was both good and evil made him even more charming. He said, "If you make money, you can share some with Miss Shen, of course. But if you don't make money, and Heyinlou doesn't succeed because of your plan change, how much of the money lost by the palace can Miss Shen be responsible for?" After saying that, Zhu Yanxiao's slender fingers slowly played with the tea lid of the teacup on the table, his charming face full of teasing.

After Shen Shen heard this, his eyes rolled around, thinking: Responsible for the loss? How is that possible? Haha, Xiao Zhu, you think too much. I can't be responsible even if I have money, let alone now. Want to trick me? Maybe in the next life.

“Ahem. Shen Shen cleared his throat and said, “Hehehe, Ziyuan, you know I don’t have any money. I don’t have the ability to let you bear the loss, right? However, I really can’t let you suffer a loss. I’ve thought about it, otherwise... If there is a loss, then... ”

"How about I pledge my love to you?"
