She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

At first, Su Mailou had some reservations. This meant that the actual selling price of each money tree would decrease by almost 20 yuan, to around 70 yuan.

Weaving one of these money trees yourself would take an hour, and the raw materials would cost 20 yuan, which is considered labor cost, so you wouldn't make a profit.

After listening to everyone's analysis, I nodded in agreement.

When a new business or a new store opens, the most important thing is to build a good reputation and open up the market, so of course, investment is needed.

When you start your own business, labor costs can't be factored in immediately. You can get two targeted customers for just over 20 yuan. In today's internet age, such customer acquisition costs are not high.

She even contacted some mothers as a backup plan, so that if orders surged, she could quickly increase the supply of products.

I've stockpiled a lot of copper wire; it keeps well and doesn't cause any problems.

The store also offers discounts of 100 yuan off for purchases over 1000 yuan, and 300 yuan off for purchases over 2000 yuan; some products are also available at half price for the second item.

These designs are all very sophisticated. The "Dragon Soars to Prosperity" is priced slightly higher, leaving ample profit margin. Although the product is larger, has more elements, and uses more copper wire, it is not valuable in itself.

The dragon's eyes were made of real gemstones, specifically red agate. Red agate is relatively inexpensive and has a vibrant color, which effectively mimics the spirit of a dragon's eyes.

Two good-quality red agates can be had for 100 yuan. As production volume increases, the price can be further reduced.

Based on this calculation, excluding labor costs, the cost of one "Longteng Caimao" is approximately 150 yuan.

A skilled worker would need about two hours to make this product. If you hire someone, the profit margin would be quite considerable, given the cost of 100 yuan.

The price of 888 isn't cheap, but the product is exquisite and elegant, with auspicious meaning. Buying one to decorate your home and create a festive atmosphere during the Chinese New Year is an affordable expense for most families.

后面故意设置了1000元减100，等于是900元就可以多买200多的产品，只比888多了12块钱，却可以多买100多块钱的产品。

It's still very appealing.

This greatly boosted overall sales and the sales volume of other products, which was very beneficial for the online store to gain traction.

The three of them sighed and joked, "Wow, so many years have passed, and we've definitely become more business-savvy."

"They've all become seasoned veterans, learning to scheme against others!"

"That's because you've been schemed against too many times!"

Everyone in the startup team was extremely excited. They finished their preparations early, and could only launch the new product and release promotional posters at 8:08 PM.

This was all planned in advance. We've been waiting for this for several days. It's a grand opening sale for the new store. On the evening of the 15th of the twelfth lunar month, at 8:08 PM, let's all look forward to getting rich and having good luck!

Also announced in advance was a free order event; the first person to place an order for each product would get it for free, including shipping.

Therefore, they are very confident about this event.

Sure enough, as soon as the event information was released at 8:08, the backend started receiving a flood of completed orders.

Su Maiqi and Lin Manlin are responsible for monitoring backend data and conducting promotional analysis in order to make adjustments and respond to new situations as needed.

Su Mailou has already started packing the products, labeling them with serial numbers, and will ship them to buyers first thing tomorrow morning.

While checking the inventory, we made the next product development plan.

截止到晚上十点半，888的发财树已经卖出了30棵，其中90%都参加了“满1000减100元的活动。”

Roughly calculated, the profit from this single product order is around 2 yuan.

In just two hours, the results far exceeded expectations!

Overjoyed, he danced and sang:

"The joyful drums beat out the celebrations year after year, the beautiful dances bring jubilation to Tianyi Plain, the sunshine paints today's day red, the flowers of life are our smiles, ah, today is a good day, all our wishes will come true, tomorrow will be a good day, let's open our doors and welcome the spring breeze..."

The startup trio instantly transformed into a singing and dancing trio, opening a bottle of red wine and raising a toast in celebration.

Even after 10 o'clock, the system's backend was still generating orders one after another.

The 88-yuan money tree sold over 400 trees, far exceeding the available stock. Su Mailou immediately activated her backup plan, contacting mothers to receive training and start working the next day.

A beginner can finish one tree per hour, but once you get the hang of it, a few people working according to a set procedure can finish in half an hour. Working ten hours a day, ten people can produce 200 trees.

Once you've mastered it, you can also take it home to do, which gives you more freedom.

The labor cost is 50 yuan per hour, plus 20 yuan for materials; after deducting the referral discount, it just covers the cost.

But the scale of this publicity campaign is astonishing.

To experiment with the fastest way to train newcomers, Su Maiqi and Lin Manlin acted as students and learned on the spot, working until after midnight without realizing it.

I made three or four finished products, and they actually looked quite decent.

She was so happy, Su Maiqi felt like she was floating, about to ascend to heaven, and said in a daze, "I don't want to go back to sleep tonight. Tomorrow morning I'm going to count the money first, and then go to the company."

She had just finished speaking when her phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call connected, Gu Tingyu's slightly drunk voice came from the other end: "You haven't gone home yet, have you? I'm passing by my sister's building, let's go home together."

Su Maiqi was still a little confused when Lin Manlin next to her joked, "It's the middle of the night, and President Gu has come to pick you up personally. You should go home now."

Not knowing what to say in front of her sister, Su Maiqi hung up the phone, packed her things, and went downstairs.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Gu Tingyu standing there wearing a black down jacket, and what was even funnier was that he was wearing a woolen hat; he stood there casually.

Su Maiqi was probably in a great mood, and she found the man much more pleasing to the eye. He was tall and thin, wearing a suit under his down jacket, clearly exuding the aura of a domineering CEO, yet he was also wearing an adorable knitted hat.

They look especially cute...

Yes, it's cute.

For some reason, Su Maiqi felt that there was a pitiful quality in his small eyes tonight, like a little boy who had been wronged.

The little boy, looking incredibly happy and tipsy, walked towards Su Maqi, who was as warm as sunshine.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone down, so bright it was blinding, and a kiss gently landed on the forehead.

The woman stood on tiptoe and kissed her forehead.

This feeling is a bit strange, like the kiss from your mother when you were wronged at school as a child.

Gu Tingyu was a little confused.

Su Maiqi looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes, without looking away at all.

Four eyes met, and Gu Tingyu suddenly felt ignited by the light emanating from the pair of eyes opposite him, and his whole body was instantly ablaze.

He took a step forward, hugged his face, and kissed him.
