0176: The Potential Crisis Hidden Behind The Prosperity.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the weather is unbelievably good, and the light blue sky makes people feel good.
On the No. 1 Avenue of the Imperial Capital, a store named 'Qianxiang Pavilion' opened.
A lot of flowers were placed at the entrance of the store, and a circle of flowers was also hung on the plaque at the entrance.
The opening of shops in this era is almost like this. The door and signboards are decorated with flowers.
The meaning is as brilliant as flowers.
The entrance of Qianxiang Pavilion was full of carriages, and the family emblems of various nobles were hung on the carriages, which immediately attracted the attention of wealthy merchants in the surrounding shops.
They had never seen a store open that could attract so many nobles, so they gathered near Qianxiang Pavilion.
Ordinary people don't care about the opening of shops on No. 1 Avenue of the Imperial City, because they can't afford them.
"What does Qianxiang Pavilion sell? It sounds like it sells sachets, right? Have you heard of it?"
"There are several shops on this street that sell good sachets. Why would they want to open another store on this street? It's really stupid."
"Maybe their sachets are very good, and they are confident that they will drive to First Avenue to compete with other companies for business."
"Don't forget, Duke Yuwu's family owns a share of this store, so the store opened by a nobleman can't be bad, right?"
"Look, the people who came are all the housekeepers of the noble families, and the personal servants of the noble ladies."
"It's probably because of Duke Yuwu's face. Let's take a look first."
A dozen wealthy businessmen are like people eating melons, all chattering about Qianxiang Pavilion.
In addition to the wealthy businessmen, there are also some nobles who also have a wait-and-see attitude.
No one dared to make trouble at the scene. After all, everyone had been warned by the noble masters that Duke Yuwu's family had a share in Qianxiang Pavilion.
"Crunch!"
The door of Qianxiang Pavilion was opened, and it was officially opened.
The housekeepers and personal maids waited for more than half an hour, and when they saw the opening of the shop, they couldn't wait to walk in.
"Hello, I want ten bottles of perfume."
"I also want ten bottles of perfume here, give me ten bottles for each flavor."
"I want twenty bottles of perfume, I want more, give it to me first.
Those people shouted as soon as they entered the store, as if they were afraid they couldn't buy perfume.
Seeing this group of people approaching fiercely, Peishan calmly raised her hand and pressed down, and said fearlessly, "Everyone, our production is limited, so we can only limit purchases."
After she was appointed by Qiao Ji as the person in charge of the perfume project, she also became the store manager of Qianxiang Pavilion.
"Purchasing restriction? How about a purchase restriction method." A butler of a great nobleman asked.
He was assigned a mission, and he didn't have to go back if he didn't buy ten bottles.
Those nobles received the news in advance, knowing that many nobles would go to buy perfume, so they called people to wait early.
"The purchase limit is determined according to the rank of the nobility. Everyone below the viscount is limited to one bottle. The viscount buys two bottles, the earl three bottles, the marquis four bottles, and the duke five bottles."
Peishan paused for a moment, and said seriously, "The royal family is limited to dry bottles."
This trick was also arranged by Qiao Ji, so that the style of the perfume will immediately improve.
"..." The housekeepers and personal maids were stunned for a moment.
Although they had objections, they didn't dare to talk about it publicly. After all, Duke Yuwu had a share in Qianxiang Pavilion.
These housekeepers and personal maids can only blame their masters if they want to blame them. Whoever let them have people's noble rank is not high.
"Our owner is the earl, please give me three bottles of perfume."
"This is our family crest, please give me five bottles of perfume."
"I want four bottles of perfume here, and my owner is the Marquis of Gauch."
The housekeeper and the personal maid can't take care of so much anymore, although there is no way to buy back a dozen or twenty bottles of perfume according to the owner's request.
But it's better than going back empty-handed. Now I can buy as many bottles as I can.
"Please line up and buy the number of perfumes according to the rank of nobility." Pei Shan came out again.
What she said was also arranged by Qiao Ji.
The purpose is to let people outside know that perfume is a very high-end thing.
At this moment, in the backyard of Qianxiangge shop.
Qiao Ji and Eve sat next to each other, listening to the noise in the shop in front, they knew they had succeeded.
"Things are going very well." Eve gracefully held a small folding fan.
Aristocratic ladies always carry a small folding fan when they go out. The higher the family status, the more exquisite the small folding fan is.
The young lady's small folding fan is undoubtedly very exquisite. The material is made of special animal skin, and a lot of gold decorations are inlaid on it.
"Preliminary success." Qiao Ji is not surprised by the success of the fragrance.
Especially in this era of no fragrances, just give this rare thing a good hype.
It can become the favorite of the rich all at once, and a little vulgarity is their weapon of pretend.
Qiao Ji suddenly thought that now that the maids are not here, this is the best time to claim rewards
He tapped his lips naturally with his bony fingers, and said with a smile, "When will you pay back the reward you owe me?"
"you....…"
Eve's originally cold face immediately turned red, all the way to the base of her ears.
She clenched her snow-white hands lightly, and slowly got up to place a sweet kiss on Qiao Ji's lips.
"The reward has been issued." Eve sat back in her seat with a blushing face, turning her head and not daring to look directly at the boy.
She shyly picked up the small folding fan to fan the wind, wondering why it was so hot today.
"It's so perfunctory." Qiao Ji deliberately showed dissatisfaction.
"Then I'm leaving." A smile flashed across Eve's golden eyes, and she was a little arrogant and ready to stand up.
"Okay, okay...I'm very satisfied." Qiao Ji immediately put his arms around the girl's slender waist.
The waist that the eldest lady grasped gracefully just happened to fall on Qiao Ji's hand, and the girl suddenly became shy again.
"Xiang, the success of the perfume business means that there will be people who will be jealous. You have to be careful."
Eve twisted her body, trying to adjust her emotions calmly.
She took a small fan and tapped the delicate tip of her nose, and said softly and caringly, "Especially those who open sachet shops, some people are afraid to come in openly, but not necessarily in secret."
No way, who made perfume attract so much money.
The success of the perfume business is the crisis of the sachet business. In the future, the sachet will not become the top-tier, and the perfume will be promoted to the new top-tier.
Before the boy could answer, Eve continued, "Once the sachet business can no longer continue, someone will definitely take the risk and steal the secret recipe of the perfume."
Qiao Ji narrowed his eyes, and said calmly, "Don't be afraid, anyone who dares to stretch out his hand will cut off his hand, except that he has three heads and six arms.
He had long expected that such a day would come, and he was not a person who was afraid of getting into trouble.
"You, you're still in the mood to joke around." Eve shot him a look.
She showed a nice smile, and then asked, "I don't think it's just the perfume that makes the 950 perfume successful."
"Oh, did you see that?" Huan Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"I think it should be pottery, maybe this is more attractive.
After flicking the long golden hair on her shoulders, Eve whispered softly, "Do you have better pottery?"
"It's porcelain." Qiao Ji corrected in a flat tone.
He marveled at how the eldest lady's eyes could see the key point at once.
Eve looked at the young man in surprise, and didn't expect that there was another big business that could make money. After thinking about it, she asked, "Is it possible to produce a batch for wine?"
She wants to create luxury wine, the outer packaging is very important.
"Small problem." Qiao Ji responded with a chuckle.
He is planning to expand the scale of ceramics, otherwise it will not be enough to produce only 300 bottles of perfume a day.
Moreover, ceramics will also be a major industry for him to make money in the future, and the production speed must keep up.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Eve's small folding fan stopped suddenly.
She squinted her golden eyes and said lightly, "His Royal Highness Princess Yurafi wants to see you."
Qiao Ji looked at the young lady's appearance, and suddenly understood something.
He pretended to be surprised and asked, "Does Your Highness dare to come out now?"
"Of course I can't come out. It's just that I held an incense tasting meeting a few days ago, and Her Royal Highness found the opportunity to come out."
Eve chuckled lightly as if gloating.
She decided not to let Qiao Ji see the princess, that would be fine.
Cold treatment is the best way to deal with it.
It was mainly because Eve saw that Qiao Ji wasn't interested in the princess either, so she made the decision.
