Chapter 165;
Business is developing well
With their intervention, the Lin family, the Wei family and the He family behind the eldest princess's consort all became honest.
There was no one to add fuel to the flames, and some rumors would naturally dissipate after three to five days.
During these three to five days, Lu Yaoyao's life was quite pleasant.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle go out early and come back late every day to do busy business. A perfume shop has been opened, with the signboard of Dachang Princess.
As soon as this perfume appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of many ladies in the capital.
The more than 5,000 bottles of perfume stored in the early stage were sold out within just two days of opening.
Because the price set was not high, only two taels of silver per bottle, so many ladies flocked to it, which naturally attracted the attention of many civilian merchants.
No, I placed an order directly without buying the perfume.
Only two days after opening, not only did it sell 5,000 bottles, but it also received an order for 10,000 bottles.
Of course, not all the orders for 10,000 bottles are from retail investors, there are also some merchants who plan to become second-tier dealers.
Lu Kang was not very happy about this at first. After all, how good is this exclusive business?
But Lu Yaoyao didn't object at all.
Her reason is simple. No matter how many orders a merchant wants, the price will not be less than what their shop sells.
In other words, no matter how much you wholesale, the price is still the same as the retail price, which is two taels of silver per bottle.
After paying the money, she doesn't care whether you resell it or not.
After all, the capital is only two taels of silver. The merchants will buy it and resell it at a price that will not be lower than this. Naturally, there is no need to worry about them stealing business in the capital.
And with the brand name of Princess Dachang, who would be so bold as to compete with them for business in the capital?
Those merchants must only transport the goods to other places for sale.
Even if the selling price outside increases, it will not have any impact on them.
After all, they are the only ones who can make this thing. Even if the formula is given out or someone researches the formula, it is unlikely that they can make it.
You must know that one of the main ingredients in this perfume is alcohol.
With Dongzhou's current brewing technology, it is absolutely impossible to tinker with alcohol. As long as they have alcohol as the main raw material, they don't have to worry at all.
In the future, once they want to expand outward, with the selling price of these two taels, they can instantly win back the money from those second-rate merchants.
And another advantage of doing this is to open the market in advance and let people outside the capital know about perfume.
This will save them a lot of trouble when they want to expand outward.
Asking people to help open the market and transporting goods out of the capital also requires money, so she thinks it's appropriate to let people earn a little.
There is no need to be too greedy, just eat them all.
As for the spirits, she has given Su the full responsibility from the beginning, and the spirits have now been put on the market.
The response has been pretty good, but they don't have the liquor thing, and not everyone is willing to drink the strong liquor.
Some people like it, some people don't.
But even so, as soon as their spirits appeared, they quickly plundered 60% of the market in the capital.
Whether it's perfume or spirits, Lu Yaoyao's current plan is to take the popular route and not set the price too high.
What she has to do is to create a brand first, then gradually develop mid- to high-end products, and finally create luxury goods that symbolize status.
Both the brothers Lu Xiu and Lu Kang, as well as the Su family, admired these ideas of hers.
They have never seen this kind of business model before.
Perfume and spirits were already available, but the final soap was a delay.
First it was a raw material problem, and secondly it was a factory problem.
She had already given the drawings to Lao Kang in the village, and he was currently building a factory.
There is a large area next to the farm, which she has planned to become an industrial park. In the future, soaps, perfumes, and other subsequent products will be produced there.
Her idea is very simple, step by step, make it bigger and stronger.
On this day, just after breakfast, Lu Yaoyao was about to go to the study to find something to do for himself, when Qiu Shuang walked in from outside.
"Miss, my uncle is here."
"Uncle is here? Why don't you just invite him in?"
Lu Yaoyao hurriedly got up and walked out. As soon as he reached Qiu Shuang, he heard Qiu Shuang say again, "In addition to my uncle, Mr. Zhang and brother and sister Lu Wentao are also here."
Ever since the three Zhang family members broke into Lu Yaoyao's boudoir when they entered and left the Xiangjun Mansion.
Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yu always called Lu Wentao's brother and sister by their first names, and never called Miss Cousin.
"Come just come."
Lu Yaoyao had never taken the three of them seriously.
These days, they are all relatively honest and have not done anything wrong. For the sake of her uncle, she will naturally not take the initiative to find out about them.
"Uncle, why are you free to come to my place today?"
As she said that, she turned to look at the three Zhangs beside her.
"Aunt Zhang, cousin Wen Tao and cousin Lan are here too."
"I've seen you, cousin/cousin/cousin."
The three of them know more about etiquette than before.
"The past two days have been quite leisurely, so I happened to see you for something, so I came here."
Now the perfume shop is out of stock, and they are working overtime to make it. The order of 10,000 bottles has not been completed yet, and there will be nothing to do in the shop for a while.
"Come in and sit inside."
Lu Yaoyao led the four of them into the courtyard, while Qiu Yu and Qiu Shuang went to prepare tea.
"Uncle, what's the matter when you come to my place today? Is there something wrong with the business?"
Hearing this, Lu Xiu smiled and shook his head and said, "The business is fine. You made arrangements early and everything went smoothly."
"I came here today for two things."
"You see, we have been in the capital for a while. A few days ago, your grandfather came to me and told me that since the Lu family wants to come to the capital to develop, they must buy a house of their own."
"I found a suitable one at Yahang yesterday and bought it. I came here today just to tell you that we will move there first when everything is ready."
"I want to get familiar with the environment first and see what needs to be changed."
Lu Yaoyao knew about Lu Xiu's search for a yard.
"Well, that's a good thing. When we move, our family will have a good time."
"That's what your grandfather thought."
Lu Xiu nodded with a smile.
"What about the other thing?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang and Lu Wentao stood up without asking Lu Xiu to speak.
He rushed to Lu Yaoyao and gave him a salute.
"Miss Cousin, when we first arrived in the capital, we didn't understand the rules and did some things that were against the rules. I never gave you a serious apology."
"I asked the master to bring us here today because I want to apologize to you properly."
Lu Xiu immediately took over the conversation.
"During this period, they have been reflecting and already know their mistakes."
"It's also my fault that uncle didn't teach them well. I'll take them here to make amends to you."
As he spoke, he stood up.
