Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 390 Collaborative Cosmetics

The day before returning to Guangzhou, Zhu Xuan still accompanied his two young wives.

You must know that this separation is a very long separation. Of course, they have to get tired of being together on the eve of leaving.

After walking around the city, they returned to the store selling cosmetics.

Cheng didn't come today, but just arranged for a few female employees to go to work. Zhu Xuan and the others took a break here, drank some tea and had some snacks, but at this moment, a female employee from outside came and said that Zhang Cenyun was here to visit.

"What does she want to do?"

Xu Miaojin said softly.

Zhu Xuan could only comfort her: "Maybe she has something to do and wants to discuss and cooperate with us again."

He asked people to go out and bring Zhang Cenyun in.

"I have met His Majesty and the two young ladies."

Zhang Cenyun knew etiquette and bowed slightly.

Her graceful figure showed off her curves perfectly when she saluted, which made her look more mature.

Zhu Xuan finally understood Prime Minister Cao's hobbies and why so many people like to be Cao's thieves. This is not without reason.

Xu Miaojin and Mu Yuanjun looked at it with envy in their eyes. Although they were a little bit bitter about Zhang Cenyun and thought that this woman had a really good figure, they didn't go so far as to make sarcastic and angry remarks in person. He nodded politely and told Zhang Cenyun not to be polite.

They sat quietly next to Zhu Xuan. When outsiders were around, Zhu Xuan took the lead.

"Mrs. Zhang, sit down!"

Zhu Xuan said.

Zhang Cenyun sat down, lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at them. Before Zhu Xuan could ask questions, she first said: "I am here this time because I want to continue to cooperate with His Highness the Fifth Emperor."

Zhu Xuan asked: "Is there anything else we can do together?"

The tea cooperation has been reached. As soon as tomorrow, the people who purchase the tea will be in place. The tea will be packaged and sent to the trading port warehouse in Panyu, waiting to be shipped to the sea.

"I want to collaborate on... cosmetics and accessories."

Zhang Cenyun raised his head, glanced at the counter in front, and continued: "Mrs. Cheng helps His Highness sell cosmetics, and she only sells them in Kunming. I can sell them in the entire southwestern region of Ming Dynasty. The market is much larger than Kunming alone." , what do you think, Your Highness?"

She has a keen business acumen and knew the potential of cosmetics the first time she came into contact with them.

Cosmetics are better than the powders they commonly use. They are more convenient to use, come in a wide variety, with different colors and fragrances, and are far more beautiful than powders. They can easily form a trend among women.

The Zhang family's business is very large, and their shops are basically found in every city in the southwest.

Zhang Cenyun is a wealthy woman herself, and her business is not just tea. In addition, she reached a cooperation with Zhu Xuan yesterday, which made her a lot more courageous. Today she mustered up the courage to meet Zhu Xuan and propose this idea.

Zhu Xuan's eyes lit up.

This idea sounds good.

"Madam, can you share your opinion on how to sell cosmetics?" Zhu Xuan did not agree immediately.

I want to see how this woman's business acumen is.

Zhang Cenyun said unhurriedly: "His Highness has a fixed and stable way of selling cosmetics. The publicity and sales methods are also novel and unprecedented. The use of appointment and limited sales has aroused comparisons and expectations. Psychologically, I really admire this."

Those sales tactics can fool ordinary ladies.

But you can't fool a businesswoman like Zhang Cenyun. She can control a huge family business. If she didn't have some skills, she would have been swallowed up by others without even her bones.

Zhu Xuan didn't feel embarrassed, but became more interested in her, and asked again: "What do you think, madam?"

"Divide the grades!" Zhang Cenyun analyzed and said: "His Highness's cosmetics and accessories are currently mainly targeted at those noble ladies and businesswomen, who belong to the upper class and can bring huge benefits to His Highness. The people in this circle People are most in need of money. However, the lower class circles should not be underestimated. Small profits but quick turnover are also very profitable. In addition, the ladies in the upper class circles are not short of money. They are used to using more expensive ones and do not bother to be like ordinary women. , use those low-class and low-priced things, otherwise it will damage your status."

After listening to her analysis, Zhu Xuan nodded slightly.

There is some truth to these words.

"But ordinary women and women in the lower class can't even eat enough. Who is in the mood to use these things?"

Xu Miaojin has seen the hardships of ordinary people.

Now that they have money, they might as well buy more food and store it at home instead of wasting money on cosmetics and accessories.

Zhang Cenyun shook his head and said: "Not all people in the lower class are from poor families. There are also some people who cannot afford expensive cosmetics, but are eager to have similar ones. In addition, His Highness and the two ladies have ignored a group."

Zhu Xuan felt that his consideration was very comprehensive, but was there anything he had overlooked?
  "Which group?"

"prostitute!"

Zhang Cenyun's words made Zhu Xuan's eyes light up.

The group of prostitutes is indeed very important. They rely solely on their appearance to please men. The best thing to improve their appearance is those cosmetics, and then use some accessories to embellish it. Isn't this charming enough to kill people?

This group was ignored by Zhu Xuan.

Prostitutes consume more cosmetics than ordinary women and women!

"Your Highness should have thought of the importance of prostitutes, right?"

Seeing Zhu Xuan's eyes, Zhang Cenyun knew that Zhu Xuan had guessed what he was thinking.

However, she felt embarrassed to talk about prostitutes like this, and her pretty face turned crimson instantly, making her look as pretty as a ripe peach.

"I got it."

Zhu Xuan agreed with Zhang Cenyun's suggestion and said: "Since Madam comes with sincerity, let's cooperate!"

Zhang Cenyun was overjoyed. He got up and bowed again, saying happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me this opportunity."

"But, I have an idea."

Zhu Xuan thought about it and said: "Sell things for the upper and lower circles separately. Don't put them in the same store, otherwise it will lower the quality of the upper class."

Zhang Cenyun nodded slightly, this consideration was very necessary.

Zhu Xuan added: "I will instruct the factory to make a batch of low-quality cosmetics and accessories. The packaging, appearance, etc. will be different, and the smell will be different, but the effect will not be too different. People will look at it as low-end. We will send it to Kunming together when the time comes, and my wife will just come here to pick it up."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhang Cenyun has no objection.

Next, Zhu Xuan asked Hou Xian to send him paper and pen, and wrote two more contracts.

The method of cooperation is the same as Zhang Cenyun’s yesterday.

Zhang Cenyun signed the contract readily, hoping that the cosmetics would bring him unexpected effects.

Zhu Xuan also signed his name, so he can predict how great the benefits will be for the southwest region.

In addition, Zhang Cenyun is a woman, so it is most suitable to sell women's things. When the time comes, Zhu Xuan will talk to Mu Wushu and ask him to take care of Zhang Cenyun, so that he will not be afraid that Zhang Cenyun will be bullied by others.

The Mu family has a high reputation in Yunnan.
