My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

Lan was a man who had seen the world, and when he saw the next room and the hustle and bustle downstairs, he couldn't help but be amazed.

I have already started to settle the accounts silently in my heart.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, "Zhenzhen, it's so lively here. You must have earned at least a few hundred taels of silver in bonuses this day, right?"

Lu Zhenzhen smiled without saying anything.

Seeing such a popular scene, I am worried whether the inventory is sufficient.

However, considering Cai's means and the preparations over several months, I think they should have enough.

Unexpectedly, by the second half of the afternoon, all the prepared stock was sold out.

Many people who got to know the news later, or rushed here after seeing the results, could only sigh while looking at the plaque of Hongyanzui.

The hired shopkeeper apologized very sincerely and said that because Hongyanzui's rouge and powder were made with expensive ingredients and sophisticated production processes, there was not much stock.

I'm sorry to have made you all make a wasted trip, but in order not to reduce the quality of our rouge and powder, I'll have to ask you to wait for a few more days.

In the next few days, you can come to Hongyanzui to try out makeup. After finding the one that suits you best, you can wait for a new batch of rouge and powder to arrive and then buy the one you like.

Of course, you can also make reservations in advance for the items you have selected long ago. After paying the deposit, when the next batch arrives, the items you have reserved will be reserved in advance to ensure that the customers who have made reservations can grab them first.

After these words were spoken, those who had not bought anything were no longer discouraged and surrounded the maid and the shopkeeper to make reservations.

Only then did Cai get away to pay her respects to Lu Zhenzhen and Lan.

She had been busy for half the day and hadn't had a drop of water. Once she sat down, she didn't care about anything else, apologized, and drank three bowls of tea before she came back to life.

He said excitedly, "Madam, we've only been open for half a day and we've already sold 70% of the goods."

Lan couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you say that everything was sold out? Why did you say that only 70% was sold?"

Cai smiled faintly. "This is what Madam taught me. It's called hunger marketing. You have to keep the customers hanging and not let them get it easily. That way they will always remember it, and it will also make our rouge and powder seem more valuable than ordinary ones."

Lan turned to look at Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen smiled innocently at Lan.

Well, there is no business without fraud! Besides, it’s not her fault. In the era of knowledge explosion she lived in before, she really knew a little about everything.

These are some of the familiar tactics in the business world of later generations. Don’t blame her for using them effortlessly. It’s nothing special, it just comes easy to her!

In Lan's eyes, Lu Zhenzhen was good in every way and there was nothing wrong with her.

Lu Zhenzhen smiled, and she immediately thought, oh, her own Zhenzhen is such a clever little girl, she knows everything!

She even did a good job in her first business venture. Let her do it!

Patting Lu Zhenzhen's hand lovingly, she said, "If you like doing business, I'll buy you a few shops to help you pass the time, okay?"

At the same time, he pulled Nanny Ye aside and started asking which location was good.

Cai had never seen a mother-in-law who doted on her daughter-in-law so much, and she looked at her with envy.

Then he got down to business: "According to our previous estimates, if 70% of the goods are sold, our gross profit today will be 1,385 taels. As for the remaining 30% of the goods, I plan to start selling another 25% in six days, and keep the remaining 50% of the goods as a reserve for emergencies."

"A new batch of rouge and powder will not be delivered for half a month. By then, 30% will be delivered here. The remaining 70% can be used to open another Hongyanzuile in Nanwu Mansion."

Cai is full of confidence: "If everything goes well, we can distribute dividends before the New Year. I am confident that we can earn this amount before the New Year."

As he said this, he raised his palm and gestured.

Five thousand taels?

Lu Zhenzhen was a little bit unconvinced. This was not a small amount.

Cai smiled, "Madam, you don't know that the women in Nanwu Mansion are particularly fond of comparing themselves with others, admiring beauty, and spending money lavishly! The businesses there are much larger than those in Nanyue. It's said that the women in the family can spend tens or even hundreds of taels of silver on a single dress without blinking an eye."

"Our rouge and powder are so good, and they use a secret recipe from the palace. If they come to Nanwu Mansion, the price won't be this high. It'll be at least double or triple that. Only then will the ladies of Nanwu Mansion be so eager to buy them!"

Lu Zhenzhen understood immediately. The wives of the business owners in Nanwu Prefecture were all very wealthy and only bought expensive things instead of the right ones!

That's the best customer in the world - hey, the best and most high-quality customers.

With such a high-quality customer base, why worry about not getting rich quickly?

Lu Zhenzhen stood up and patted Cai's shoulder solemnly: "You are right! We should open a new Hongyanzui in Nanwu Mansion as soon as possible and bring such excellent rouge and powder to them! I believe in you, keep going!"

Cai's face immediately flushed, and she patted her chest with great confidence: "Madam, don't worry, I will work hard and strive to spread the Red Beauty Drunk throughout Baiyue as soon as possible!"

Have goals and aspirations!

Lu Zhenzhen immediately gave spiritual encouragement, which was to paint a rosy picture.

After feeding Cai well, Lu Zhenzhen took Lan and the others and quietly left through the back door.

When I returned home, I remembered something. The weather was getting colder, and Bai Yujing's business would end this year.

It's time to settle the accounts and distribute the profits.

She promised to give dividends to the emperor, so she must fulfill her promise, right?

After I went back and asked, I found out that the Lin family, the Huang family, and the Yu family had already sent people to inquire about the accounts and dividends.

It's just that Lu Zhenzhen had been recuperating from her injuries and pregnancy a few days ago, and then she was busy preparing the delivery room and asked her subordinates to learn how to deliver babies from the midwife, so Fu Zhiyi didn't let them report.

When Lu Zhenzhen asked, the three families got the news and immediately came with their accountants to reconcile the accounts.

Lu Zhenzhen was in the front yard, and there was a large screen in the courtyard.

She and Lan sat behind the screen.

The three families came in with their accountant, but they only saw the screen and the shadowy figures behind it.

The Huang and Yu families are both headed by the two families. The Lin family is now headed by Cai’s eldest son, and today is the first time he appeared in front of Lu Zhenzhen.

First kneel down and kowtow as a gesture of respect.

Lu Zhenzhen moved chairs for them to sit down, served them tea, and began to listen to their accounts.

The account books had already been delivered and were placed in front of Lu Zhenzhen.

Lu Zhenzhen flipped through it roughly and asked Haitang, Moli and others to check it in public.

Inside, there was the sound of abacus beads clacking and account books flipping.

The three bosses outside all lowered their heads and held their tea without daring to breathe.

The account books of the three businesses show that although their shops are not in the same place, the prices are the same.

It is convenient to check.

The four maids used an abacus to check the accounts, and soon the accounts of the three families were reviewed.

The Lin family earned more than five thousand taels of white jade crystals, the Huang family earned more than four thousand taels, and the Yu family, which always looked inconspicuous, actually earned the most, almost six thousand taels.

This was beyond Lu Zhenzhen's expectation.

The total amount of money from the three families was almost 15,000 silver coins.

It really is a huge profit.

Even so, the three families are still very confident that they will earn more next year.

Lu Zhenzhen naturally hoped for more. She had said at the beginning that she should get 40% of the dividends, 10% of which would be subsidized to ordinary people, leaving her with 30%.

Even if it's 30%, it's still 4,500 taels.

If she gave the emperor another ten percent, which would be fifteen hundred taels, she would still get three thousand taels.

In other words, she came up with a recipe and easily earned three thousand taels.
