Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1262 Li Wenxiu's Career Aspiration 【Happy Mid-Autumn Festival】

The opening ceremony of Li Wenxiu Beauty Salon can be said to have stole the limelight.

More than half of the distinguished ladies in Shanghai attended the ceremony.

Unknowingly, the social circle of Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu has become more and more high-end.

The wife of the richest man is also the object that many women want to get acquainted with.

Such a large-scale beauty salon is still very rare in this era in Shanghai.

Before the beauty salon opened, it was widely advertised in various magazines and media. There were only two themes of the advertisement: beauty and youth.

An inch of time is an inch of gold, and an inch of gold is hard to buy a new look!

Which woman does not love beauty?After the age of thirty, a woman will have a sense of urgency of aging appearance and a sense of crisis of losing youth.

They are willing to believe that beauty salons can make people return to youth and beauty again.

The richer a woman is, the more she wants to retain her beauty and prolong her youth.

Li Wenxiu grasped this psychology of women, and through touching slogans, she drew people into her shop for consumption.

In order to better retain customers, Li Wenxiu launched a membership system.

In general roadside shops, it costs 25 yuan to wash the head, and [-] yuan to wash the face and massage the shoulder and neck.Small shops generally do not have body items, let alone other high-end beauty items.

What Li Wenxiu does is high-end beauty, such as anti-aging and anti-wrinkle programs, which are usually aimed at women with obvious wrinkles, as well as skin rejuvenation, hyaluronic acid and other programs, which are even more expensive.

According to rumors, in China in the 80s, hyaluronic acid could only be imported, and the price was about 20 yuan per kilogram.In the era when the per capita salary was less than 100 yuan, there was even no price.

Hyaluronic acid has the functions of locking a lot of water, keeping the skin moisturized and elastic. Like the beauty needles we often hear about, this is used in the medical and aesthetic industry. Generally, botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid are used.

Entering the 90s, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, rich women and celebrities have long used beauty injections to delay aging.

The reason this stuff is expensive is because it's extremely hard to get.Hyaluronic acid was extracted and discovered by scientists from ox eyes as early as 1934, and it is mainly used in eye surgery and osteoarthritis treatment.Due to technical limitations, people can only extract hyaluronic acid from animal tissues such as cockscombs, ox eyes, and umbilical cords.As a result, the extremely low extraction ratio and complicated process naturally created the high value of hyaluronic acid.

Li Wenxiu introduced this expensive beauty product to the mainland, and naturally won the favor of wealthy wives.

At that time, a group of people had already become rich first, and the rich people's pursuit of quality of life determined that this product had a considerable market in China.

Li Wenxiu wants to build a high-end beauty salon, and when advertising, he also popularized hyaluronic acid.

The introduction of Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television dramas has made mainlanders aware of the beauty value of hyaluronic acid. Women also want to try to be youthful and immortal like female stars, but they don’t know where to get this kind of beauty injection.

Now you don’t need to go abroad, and you don’t need to go to Hong Kong and Taiwan. You only need to go to Shanghai and Aixiu Beauty Salon, and you can get this kind of beauty injection that makes people stay young forever, which naturally arouses the pursuit of beauty lovers.

On the day of the opening, Wang Lin hadn't come back after picking up the plane, and congratulators from all walks of life arrived one after another.

Almost all the celebrities from Shencheng's political, business and entertainment circles came.

Shen Xue and Zhou Congee are Li Wenxiu's best girlfriends, they came here today, they are not only guests, but also half masters, helping Li Wenxiu receive guests.

"Wenxiu, is Miss Tang here?" Shen Xue asked.

"Tang Yan? She called me and said sorry. She's been busy recently and hasn't come back from Australia, so she can't come to participate." Li Wenxiu said.

"Let me just say, she has such a good relationship with us, if there is no accident, she will definitely come." Shen Xue said, "Wenjuan and Sister Lin are in Shencheng, without them, it feels like two pistachios are missing. "

Li Wenxiu said: "I only take care of one thing now, that is, no one opens the card."

Shen Xue smiled and said: "Then you are worrying too much, let me tell you, what you really need to worry about is whether the cards you prepared are enough or not?"

Li Wenxiu laughed and said: "I have prepared ten thousand cards! If I can open ten thousand cards today, then I will get rich."

Zhou Congee said: "Rare! You man is so rich, you still need to rely on this to get rich? Looking at the whole continent, you are the richest and most blessed woman! I am really not satisfied!"

Li Wenxiu said: "He has money, it's his, and I have to work hard to make money by myself."

Zhou Congee said: "I'm curious, don't you and Wang Lin's money be used together? Are they separate? You earn your money and you spend yours?"

"That's not true. The money I earn belongs to me. He never uses my money. I can use the money he earns as I like." Li Wenxiu smiled.

"Tsk tsk, that's great. What's yours is yours, what's his is still yours!" Zhou Congee said, "Then you are still working so hard?"

Li Wenxiu smiled and shook her head: "I have to do something, right? If one day he doesn't want me, I will starve to death."

"How is this possible?" Zhou Porridge asked, "Will he abandon you?"

Li Wenxiu said: "Let me tell the truth."

"What's the matter?" Both Shen Xue and Zhou Congee became interested.

Li Wenxiu said: "I know a friend, she likes to raise birds, and the one she raises is a canary. She treats that bird very well, and even hired a nanny to take care of that bird."

"Huh? What kind of family is this? Even the birds hire a babysitter?"

"Really, her family's conditions are good. Later, her family fell into poverty, and she couldn't afford to raise birds or a nanny, so she had to release the birds. Guess what happened?"

"The bird won't fly away?"

"Yes, the bird didn't fly away, but died of starvation under the eaves of his house. The bird can't forage, can't survive, even if the bug is right by its mouth, it won't eat it, it has long been used to others Feed food into its mouth."

"..."

Shen Xue and Zhou Porridge looked at each other silently, each with their own thoughts.

Li Wenxiu said: "Ever since I heard the story she told me, I have told myself that I must never be a canary. Once something happens, I will be the last person to starve to death."

Zhou Congee said, "Wang Lin treats you so well, that's why he is reluctant to divorce you."

Li Wenxiu said: "The world is unpredictable! Apart from divorce, there are other accidents!"

Zhou Congee said, "You think so far."

Li Wenxiu said: "People don't have long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries. The friend I mentioned just now, her life is miserable."

"Is it worse than the birds she raises?" Zhou Porridge asked.

"Almost. She has a good family since she was a child, and a man married well. She has never done housework since she was a child. She was raised by her parents before, and then she was raised by a man. Anyway, she doesn't have to do anything. She stretches out her hands for clothes and opens her mouth for food. Cooking, I don’t know where to buy rice, noodles, and rapeseed, and I don’t know where to get money with my passbook at home.”

Shen Xue smiled and said, "Then this woman is stupid! Is there really such a woman?"

Zhou Congee said: "I believe what Wenxiu said, a person who has been out of touch with society since childhood really knows nothing."

Everyone was chatting, and when they saw guests coming, they went to receive them again.

The people who came this time were Sachiko, Yan Qin and others.

Yan Qin has been in the country for this period of time, so naturally he will not miss such a good day.

Gu Qingyu's family came over.

Li Wenxiu was busy greeting everyone.

The beauty salon is very large, and each floor has an independent lounge. After the guests arrive, they can visit or rest everywhere without being crowded.

Li Wenxiu looked at the time, it was twelve o'clock soon.

In another quarter of an hour, the celebration will begin.

"Why hasn't Wang Lin come yet?" Shen Xue looked outside the door.

Just as he was talking, a luxury extended Rolls-Royce motorhome drove over.

Everyone's eyes were instantly attracted by this car.

This luxury car is still eye-catching even after 1992 years, not to mention this is [-]!

Everyone is whispering, wondering what kind of guests are sitting in such a luxurious car?
Uncle Zhong got out of the car, came to the rear door, and opened it.

The first person to get out of the car was Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's attire today is very formal, with the demeanor of a successful person.

Immediately afterwards, three women and a man got out of the car.

Each of these three women has its own beauty, tall and beautiful, and the most gorgeous.

The last person to get off was Fa Ge.

"Wow! Isn't that Xu Wenqiang?" Someone at the scene recognized him at a glance.

There is no way, Fa Ge's face and temperament are too outstanding, it is difficult to keep a low profile.

"It's really Xu Wenqiang!" Someone screamed.

"Xu Wenqiang has come to Shanghai Beach!"

"My God! Xu Wenqiang is alive!"

"He's so handsome!"

"How tall is he?"

"..."

Discussions continued one after another, and everyone was attracted by these handsome men and beautiful women, and they gave out bursts of admiration.

Li Wenxiu and others came forward to meet them.

Wang Lin introduced Fa Ge and Fa Sao to them.

Li Wenxiu's pretty face turned red, and she greeted Fa Ge and Sao Fa shyly.

Brother Fa clasped his fists and cupped his hands: "Hello, Mrs. Wang! It's a pleasure to come to your beauty salon opening ceremony."

Li Wenxiu smiled and said, "Thank you. I'm glad to see you in the mainland. I grew up watching your TV series."

Fa Ge smiled slightly: "You look quite young, but do I look very old? I'm 55 years old, and I'm only 37 years old this year. I'm still young!"

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Fa Ge couldn't tell at all that he was born in 55, he was exactly the handsome, handsome and charming guy in the movie Across the World released last year!
Li Wenxiu asked: "Brother Fa, you look really young, how do you take care of yourself?"

Fa Ge pointed to the big signboard of the beauty salon: "Do more beauty treatments!"

Everyone laughed again, and they all felt that Fa Ge was approachable and had no airs.

The original ribbon-cutting ceremony was performed by Wang Lin and Li Wenxiu.

Now that Brother Fa is here, he can be said to be the most influential star on the scene, so Li Wenxiu suggested to Wang Lin that Brother Fa and Wang Lin should cut the ribbon together.

Of course Wang Lin had no objection.

Isn't the purpose of inviting celebrities here to advertise?
If the celebrity effect is not fully utilized, then Fa Ge's trip will not have the corresponding effect.

The celebration begins.

Amidst the festive music, Gu Qingyu was invited as a special host to preside over the opening ceremony.

Hosted by Hua Dan, the head of the TV station, Xiangjiang star platform, leading figures from all walks of life in politics, business and art gathered.

Looking at the whole of Shanghai, there will never be a store opening with such a grand ceremony.

Li Wenxiu entered the beauty industry at the beginning, but it was just a whim, she never thought that if she was not careful, she would make her career so big!
After Wang Lin and Fa Ge finished cutting the ribbon together, countless colored balls were released into the air, the colored cannons sounded, and dazzling fireworks rose up.

The audience burst into applause.

The opening ceremony ended in half an hour.

Next came lunch time.

The banquet was held at the Huamei Hotel across the street.

Fa Ge looked up at the towering Aixiu Building, and said, "When we were in the car, I noticed this building. It turns out that this is Mr. Wang's property."

Li Jiaxin smiled and said: "Brother Fa, look over there, there is another tall building, which is also Mr. Wang's property. There is also a bigger Aixiu Plaza in Pudong that is still under construction, and that building is bigger than the two here. The building must be tall. When it opens, it will definitely be an unprecedented event!"

Fa Ge said, "I heard that Wang is always the richest man in the Mainland, and his reputation is well-deserved."

Wang Linlian said it was a rumor, and I am not the richest man in the Mainland.

Fa Ge said in amazement: "You are not the richest man, so who is the richest man?"

Wang Lin couldn't answer for a while.

Everyone smiled knowingly.

Fa Ge came to Shanghai for the first time and had a very good impression of Shanghai. He did not expect that many big cities in the Mainland would develop so well.

After the luncheon, the women returned to the beauty parlor again. They came to cheer, and of course they had to open their cards!

Li Wenxiu produced [-] membership cards in the early stage.

If you want to become a member of the beauty salon, you need to deposit 3000 yuan before you can open a membership card.

In Li Wenxiu's mind, if he could sell all the 3000 membership cards, then he could earn [-] million, which would be a real fortune.

Although Shanghai has more than [-] million people, it is still difficult to sell [-] membership cards.

In fact, for those rich people, 3000 yuan is not much. If you want to use hyaluronic acid, this money is not enough at all. Even if you don’t get beauty injections and only do high-end care, it will cost two to three hundred yuan at a time. Money, the pre-deposited amount of 3000 yuan, will be spent in about ten times.

For the rest of the day, Li Wenxiu was busy in the beauty salon, busy with business.

There are many acquaintances who came to join us today, and for these people, 3000 yuan to open a card is nothing.

Shen Xue, Zhou Porridge, Zhou Xia, Gu Qingyu, Yan Qin and others all opened their cards.

Although Li Jiaxin, Zhou Xiaomin, Fa Sao and others were in Xiangjiang, they also opened a card to support Li Wenxiu's business.

Sister-in-law Fa smiled and said, when you open the beauty shop to Xiangjiang someday, I will bring dozens of friends to join me.

Li Wenxiu said that I will first set up stores in the mainland, and then go to Xiangjiang to develop after accumulating experience.

In the afternoon, Wang Lin took Fa Ge and Fa Sao to visit the beautiful city of Shanghai.

Fa Ge especially likes to visit the old streets and old alleys in Shanghai, especially the old concessions and old bungalow areas.

Tianping Road Street and Xiangnan Road Street are the areas with the highest concentration of old houses in the urban area and the best quality, accounting for more than one-third of the area of ​​houses of the same type in the city, ranking first among all districts in the city.Typical ones include Clement’s Apartment and Fuxing Apartment on Middle Fuxing Road, Shangfang Garden and Xinkang Garden on Middle Huaihai Road, Customs College on Fenyang Road, etc. are all famous garden-style houses, especially the few houses along Wuyuan Road. The elegant charm of the French Concession in the past ten years still exists today.

Xinhua Road Street, Jing'an Temple Street, Shimen Road near Beijin Road, Zhapu Road Street, the former Japanese Concession, Luwan District Huaihai Middle Road Street, Ruijin [-]nd Road Street and other areas have a considerable number of old houses.

In Shencheng's "Celebrity Street", under the romantic plane trees, there are old houses of different styles hidden.

Looking at these ancient buildings, Fa Ge was filled with emotion.

After shopping, Fa Ge became more determined in his desire to remake "Shanghai Bund".

Only when you shoot in Shanghai can you truly capture the original taste of Shanghai.

Wang Lin also had this intention, and the two hit it off.

Next, they will invite the original cast of "Shanghai Bund" to see if they can get together.
