After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

There was still more than an hour before the agreed time. Qin Yao and Song Yu did not return to the inn, but asked about the news about Fulong Trading Company on the street.

Half a year has passed, and with the support of the eldest princess, the current Fulong Trading Company is much stronger than before.

Now the suppliers of Fucheng Chinese medicine shops have been changed to Fulong Trading Company, and the leather materials in major cloth shops also come from Fulong Trading Company.

Other tea and groceries are also involved.

Although he is not yet the number one customer in Zijing Mansion, he is currently the most popular customer of the Water Transport Department.

I heard from guests in the teahouse that Fulong Trading Company is now preparing to contract all the ships at the Zijin Mansion Water Transport Terminal to earn money from the river transport.

This is not something that ordinary companies can do. Only someone above them can hope to intervene in the official business.

Precisely because of the high-profile behavior of Fulong Trading Company in the past six months, some people in the firm even speculated that it was Qiu Yanmai who murdered Guo Lin, the owner of Jinglin Trading Company, and was now preparing to replace him.

When Song Yu inquired about the news, Qin Yao was picking up herbal tea to drink and almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Of course, she's a pro and doesn't actually spill the tea.

However, being so close to her, Song Yu still noticed something and asked with concern: "Madam, are you okay?"

Qin Yao waved her hand, but finally drank the herbal tea in one gulp and said something fair for Qiu Yan.

She said: "It is absolutely impossible that Qiu Yan killed Guo Lin."

Those people who were discussing enthusiastically immediately turned to look at Qin Yao and asked in dissatisfaction: "Why are you so sure!"

Qin Yao thought to herself, don’t I know the person I killed?

With a calm expression on his face, he said: "These two people are totally incompatible with each other, and their business scopes are also different. There is no need for Qiu Dong's family."

Anyway, she clarified that it is none of her business whether she believes it or not.

"Let's go." Qin Yao motioned to Song Yu to take the lady's box. It was almost time to go to Dengyun Tower for the meeting.

Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen arrived first, and when they met, they were all old acquaintances. Qin Yao introduced Song Yu, and the four of them sat down one by one.

The food was served quickly. After eating a few chopsticks, the four of them talked about business.

Qin Yao didn't need to mention the final payment this time. Jiang Wen took the initiative to hand over the money.

The last order was for 5,000 book boxes. A deposit of 1,000 was paid in advance, and there is still a balance of 1,000 left.

It was a banknote. Song Yu took it and checked it, confirmed it was correct, and nodded to Qin Yao.

Qiu Yan said: "This time we will need 5,000 more. We can deliver them before mid-December."

Qin Yao frowned slightly. The quantity requested was obviously less. It seems that the magic book box has passed its best-selling period.

If this situation continues, next year's total shipments may not reach 10,000 units.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao winked at Song Yu and asked him to take out the new products and show them to them.

Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen saw the box covered with gray cloth when they entered the door just now, but Qin Yao didn't mention it, so they couldn't take the initiative to ask.

Now seeing Song Yu pull away the cloth cover to reveal the small portable box inside, with the peach blossoms embossed on the surface of the box, his eyes really lit up.

Qiu Yan looked at Qin Yao with great interest: "What is this?"

"Lady's box." Qin Yao nodded, and Song Yu understood. He stood up and moved the dishes on the table to make a space, and gave Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen an all-round explanation of the use of the lady's box and the design concept.

The sentence "exclusively for noble ladies" made Jiang Wen's eyes light up.

In particular, the small bronze mirror embedded in the box is particularly innovative. Of course, the noble ladies all have their own makeup packages, which are also equipped with bronze mirrors to facilitate daily makeup application.

However, that bronze mirror cannot be taken away at any time, and it is not as pleasant as this small side.

In short, when Jiang Wen, a grown man, saw this lady's box, he felt that if he bought it home and brought it to his wife and daughter, they would definitely like it.

Qin Yao scooped up the soup stock that Dengyunlou's chef had specially cooked for nine hours, and while slowly tasting it, she said:

"This time, I plan to take the mid-to-high-end route. It will be positioned as the home of those officials and merchants. They have the strongest purchasing power and have the capital to use the Lady's Box."

"If the owner and shopkeeper think it's good, we might as well cooperate again. We will produce the products and you will be responsible for packaging and sales."

Qiu Yan frowned slightly. He heard a new word, "Packaging?"

"Yes." Qin Yao smiled and said: "If I say this is a box that can hold things, then it is completely inferior to other large wooden boxes, and no one will buy it."

"But if I say that this is an exclusive suitcase specially designed for noble ladies and a symbol of status, wealth and rights, then it is no longer a worthless wooden box, but a lady's box specially designed for noble ladies."

This explanation was simple and easy to understand. Qiu Yan nodded and understood what she meant - brag, brag hard!

Jiang Wen asked tentatively: "How many ladies' boxes can the factory produce in a year?"

"Well" Qin Yao thought about it seriously, but her tone of voice seemed very perfunctory, "Let's tentatively decide on two thousand. After all, it is a limited edition that is purely handmade and carefully carved by workers."

Jiang Wen couldn't help but smile.

Qiu Yan also reminded Qin Yao with some helplessness: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the world, but the initial supply cannot be enough. Even if we have all the tricks, we can't stop the emergence of counterfeit products."

"Besides, noble ladies may not buy our account!"

Song Yu was shocked when he heard what he said. Yes, he had almost forgotten about this.

How to stop counterfeiters?

In fact, this is not the point. The point is how to make their lady's box unique.

Song Yu was afraid that Qin Yao had not thought of this. After all, Qin Yao had not mentioned how to push the box out during the whole trip.

anxiety?

It doesn't exist for her.

Three pairs of eyes looked over. Qin Yao was still drinking soup calmly and said in a leisurely tone:

"We can empower the product. If we want to make the lady's box produced by Fulong Trading Company unique, it's actually very simple. It just depends on who is using it, and only uses products from Fulong Trading Company."

Having said this, Qin Yao raised her eyebrows at Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen. Her hints were equivalent to making it clear, and they should understand who she was talking about.

"And" Qin Yao picked up the lady's box on the table and suddenly said as if she just remembered:

"Since we are taking the mid-to-high-end route, the raw materials of this box must be upgraded by at least two levels. The box body must be made of top quality wood, the lining and partitions must be made of silk, the Huarong Road clasp must be made of jade, and the handles must be made of jade. Wrap it with ribbon.”

"Not only that, but also need to make anti-counterfeiting marks to ensure that it can be distinguished from other counterfeit products."

"Okay, that's all I can think of for the moment. The dishes are getting cold. Why don't you guys eat some more?" Qin Yao asked sincerely.

Song Yu, Qiu Yan, and Jiang Wen glanced at her numbly, "You just made people excited, who can still eat it!"

Qin Yao, "Then I will eat them all."

The three of them were still immersed in this novel marketing concept and couldn't get over it. They didn't care at all whether she ate it all or not.
