I trade in both worlds

After hearing this, Liu Fu's eyes lit up, and he obviously appreciated Liu Yuan's proposal very much.

"Master, you are wise! This way, these bags and Yuanbao rabbits will quickly spread throughout the capital and become treasures that everyone will vie for."

"Moreover, through this kind of publicity, our Jinxiu Pavilion can also attract more customers, thereby driving the sales of other products."

Liu Yuan smiled slightly, obviously satisfied with Liu Fu's comprehension.

"However, we still need to consider pricing carefully." He changed the subject and his expression became serious. "We must ensure profits, but we cannot let the price be too high and scare away potential customers. Have you seen the account book?"

"I have seen it." Liu Fu nodded and replied, having already made a calculation in his mind: "I calculated that the cost of a children's bag is 700 wen, the cost of a handbag is one liang, and the cost of a messenger bag is higher, at one liang and five qian."

"It's mainly because of the copper-plated gold chain, and the children's bag as well."

"Then what do you think is a suitable price?" Liu Yuan asked, his eyes fixed on Liu Fu.

Liu Fu thought for a moment and said cautiously, "I think the price of a children's messenger bag is five taels of silver, a handbag is twelve taels, and a messenger bag is fifteen taels."

"As for the Yuanbao rabbit, since it uses rabbit skin and cotton, the cost is about the same as a child's bag, so it is also priced at five taels of silver each."

After hearing this, Liu Yuan did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, as if he was weighing something.

Finally, he shook his head slowly, his eyes deep: "In terms of pricing, I think it can be adjusted a little bit."

"For children's bags, we can set the price at ten taels of silver each, and for adult bags, the price for handbags is twenty taels, and for crossbody bags is twenty-five taels. As for the Yuanbao rabbit..."

Liu Yuan thought for a moment and continued, "Yuanbao Rabbit, just as you said, five taels."

"Yes." Liu Fu respectfully wrote down the price set by Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan closed his eyes and ordered, "Take these to show the Madam and Young Madam tomorrow to see if they have any gifts to give."

"Yes." After Liu Fu put away the samples on the table, he took his leave and went back. Liu Yuan also got up and went back to the main courtyard to wash up and rest.

The next day, Liu Fu came to the main courtyard with a sample package. After reporting, Liu Fu entered the house.

Mrs. Liu was sitting by the window, holding an account book in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Hearing the noise, she raised her head, smiled gently and asked, "Manager Liu, what's the matter?"

After Liu Fu bowed, he replied respectfully, "Madam, the master has specially ordered me to bring these samples. Please take a look at them and see if they are suitable as New Year gifts for the noble families and officials who are on good terms with our Liu Mansion."

Following Liu Fu's movements, Mrs. Liu's eyes were instantly attracted by the bag on the table.

"Is this a bag that just came out of our own workshop?" A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes.

She put down the account book in her hand, stood up and walked to the table, looking at the bags carefully.

Her fingers gently slid across the surface of the bag, feeling the delicate texture and exquisite workmanship, and she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

"Yes, ma'am." Liu Fu replied with a smile, "The master specifically ordered that these bags and the Yuanbao rabbits be given as New Year gifts to the major families and officials who are on good terms with the Liu family."

"It can express our feelings and also promote our new products. Madam, you can also carry the bag when you go to a banquet. It would be best if you can give a few to the girls of your relatives. When the girls go out, they will definitely attract a lot of attention by carrying the small Yuanbao bag across their shoulders."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, a hint of approval flashed in her eyes.

She knew that Liu Yuan's move was not only to build closer relationships with various companies, but also to promote his own bags.

Mrs. Liu carefully examined the bags and picked up a small and exquisite children's crossbody bag, made of pink sheepskin with a gold-plated chain, and a Yuanbao rabbit hanging on the bag.

"It's so cute." She couldn't help but admire, "It would be nice if we had a little girl in our family." As she spoke, a hint of regret flashed in her eyes.

When Liu Fu heard this, he was moved. He remembered that Mrs. Liu Chen Jin's family had two nieces who were just the right age to carry children's bags.

So, he asked tentatively: "Madam, doesn't the young lady's family have two little nieces? Perhaps we can give it to them?"

When Madam Liu heard this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately ordered the maid beside her: "Go and invite the young mistress over quickly, and tell her that I have something to ask her."

After a while, Chen Jin hurried over. She was wearing a light pink jacket and skirt, with an exquisite jade hairpin in her hair, looking dignified and gentle.

After she bowed, her eyes were immediately attracted by the bags on the table, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Mother, what are these?"

"These are new products made in our own workshop." Mrs. Liu explained with a smile: "I think these two small bags are very suitable for your two little nieces from your mother's family. Take a look."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jin was very satisfied that her parents-in-law had specially prepared gifts for her family.

She looked at the children's bags with a twinkle in her eyes: "These bags are so cute, they will definitely like them."

As he spoke, Chen Jin couldn't help but touch each bag one by one, feeling the delicate texture.

"Mom, these bags are really nice." Chen Jin praised sincerely, "Especially this Yuanbao rabbit, with its long ears, it's so cute. I can give this to Yan Ge'er to play with."

When Yan Ge was a child, he was Chen Jin’s son. He was not yet two years old, and was at the age when he was lively and active.

Seeing this, Madam Liu was even more delighted and handed the Yuanbao rabbit on the table to Chen Jin, "Take them all and let Brother Yan have fun."

Chen Jin took the Yuanbao rabbit and smiled gratefully, "Thank you, mother."

Madam Liu turned to look at Liu Fu and asked, "Butler Liu, are these bags still in stock?"

"Yes, ma'am, we are well prepared this time and all are stored in the warehouse of Jinxiu Pavilion." Liu Fu replied respectfully.

"Okay." Madam Liu nodded and instructed, "Then prepare another one and send it to the young lady's yard so that she can also pick out what she likes."

"Thank you, mother." Chen Jin bowed again, his heart filled with joy.

Mrs. Liu continued, "These bags are new products from Jinxiu Pavilion. We will use them first, which can also be considered as a promotion."

"If you have a family that needs a gift, please make a list for Mother Liu so that we can prepare in advance."

Chen Jin nodded in agreement, and began to think about which friends and relatives would like these bags. She especially liked the Yuanbao rabbit.

A few days later, Chen Jin went to the Princess's Mansion with carefully selected gifts.

She gave a pink children's bag, a Yuanbao rabbit, and a red handbag to the eldest princess's daughter-in-law, Li Wan, who was also her good friend.
