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

Chapter 432 Launch new products to maintain popularity

The second day after arriving in Kunming.

Zhang Cenyun took the initiative to come to the door and said he wanted to reconcile Zhu Xuan's accounts.

She had already seen the profit from the tea, and checked it with Zhu Xuan when the ledger was on the ship, but she could only see the profit from the cosmetics after she returned.

"How much profit have you made in the past few months?"

Zhu Xuan saw at the end of the account book that the net profit was more than five million taels. They shared it equally, and each of them could get more than two million taels.

The market in the southwest region has just opened and can generate such huge profits. Women's money is really easy to make. Zhu Xuan simply scanned the contents of the account book and found that the majority were high-end cosmetics and accessories, all of which were wealthy businessmen and powerful customers. But the proportion of low-end products is also 40%.

In the low-end part, the bulk of the consumers are indeed prostitutes, and the rest are ordinary people.

It has to be said that Zhang Cenyun's judgment of the market was very accurate. After putting forward the suggestion of low-end cosmetics, he first targeted the group of prostitutes.

Sure enough, it can bring surprises.

"Because the market has just opened, His Highness's stuff is still very novel, and the effect is very good when used. The initial profit can be very high."

"But after a while, the market will be saturated. If there are no new products launched, cosmetics cannot be used up once. If you rely solely on old products to maintain your business, there will be a period of low profits."

“Wait until those noble ladies run out of products before buying them, and then profits will rise again.”

"However, prostitutes and others use cosmetics very frequently, so the low-end profits should be better."

Zhang Cenyun explained.

Words such as "market saturation" and "down period" were all learned from Zhu Xuan when she was on the ship.

When Zhu Xuan was doing business in the Ming Dynasty, he also brought a lot of new vocabulary, and people around him could basically understand its meaning.

"If Madam is a consumer, would you like us to launch some new products regularly?" Zhu Xuan asked a question.

"Of course I do!"

Zhang Cenyun nodded and said: "We women, especially those noble ladies, are usually very boring and like to buy some small things, such as cosmetics, which have become their favorite consumer goods. Under normal circumstances, even high-end cosmetics If there are too many, I will get tired of them. I hope to launch some special and different styles of cosmetics regularly. Even if I still have a bunch of them at home, I will want them as soon as new products are released."

This is their consumer psychology.

Zhu Xuan finally understood why hundreds of years later, many girls already have many different lipsticks in their homes, but they still want to buy new ones.

You can also wonder why a red lipstick can be made into a variety of different colors. Although they are all red, they can also be divided into watermelon red, grapefruit red, etc.

Not without reason.

Zhu Xuan can only give the simplest cosmetic concepts, but he doesn't know much about launching and designing new products on a regular basis.

The most important thing is that I don't understand the needs of those ladies.

"Madam, do you know how to launch new products?"

Zhu Xuan thought about it and looked at Zhang Cenyun.

Would it be appropriate to leave the task of creating new products and maintaining popularity to Zhang Cenyun?

But the most important thing is to see if Zhang Cenyun has relevant ideas.

"Your Highness, do you want to leave this business to me?"

Zhang Cenyun felt happy and asked expectantly.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "If Madam thinks she can do it, then I will leave it to Madam to take charge."

"of course can!"

Zhang Cenyun immediately agreed: "I understand women better than Your Highness. In fact, I also have some ideas. If Your Highness is really willing to leave it to me, I will not let Him down!"

"That!"

Zhu Xuan thought about it and felt that Zhang Cenyun could still be trusted.

What's more, she is in Kunming and with the Mu family, Uncle Mu can trust her and leave the task of developing new products to her.

When the time comes, let the people at Mubang Factory cooperate, and the matter will be settled.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

Zhang Cenyun bowed Yingying.

Then she smiled happily, her smile was beautiful, even charming, her pretty face was slightly flushed, highlighting the unique charm of a beautiful woman. I have arranged the cosmetics matters and completed the reconciliation.

Zhu Xuan took the money and left.

One can imagine how much more than two million taels of silver weighed.

Zhu Xuan searched for a while in Kunming and found that there was also a bank here. He directly revealed his identity and deposited the money. Of course he trusted the bank run by the emperor's official.

The bank manager here doesn't dare to do anything to him yet.

All the silver was exchanged for Ming Dynasty treasure notes. Zhu Xuan collected these treasure notes and exchanged them back to cash when he returned to Yingtian. He also had to promote the continued development of Ming Dynasty treasure notes and reform the payment methods of Ming Dynasty.

-

Time passed quickly and it was time to return to Beijing.

Zhu Xuan took Xu Miaojin away and reluctantly said goodbye to Mu Yuanjun.

After this year, Zhu Xuan will be thirteen years old.

It has been thirteen years since I traveled through the Ming Dynasty and helped Grandpa Huang maintain his life. He lived seven years longer than in history.

"Time flies so fast!" Zhu Xuan sighed with emotion.

Unknowingly, so many years have passed.

Although he hasn't grown up yet, he has already done a lot of things that even adults can't do.

"Time flies really fast, and my brother has grown up."

After hearing Zhu Xuan's words, Xu Miaojin smiled and held his hand, and said happily: "My brother is much taller and stronger than before."

Zhu Xuan said: "But I can't get married to Sister Miaojin yet. According to Grandpa Huang's plan, it should take another two years."

Xu Miaojin was shy when it came to getting married.

Even though they have been together for so long and have a good and strong relationship, they can't help but blush.

"Two years passed quickly."

Xu Miaojin said softly: "We have waited so long, we can wait a few more years."

Zhu Xuan held her in his arms and stood on the bow of the boat, blowing the breeze together.

"What's wrong with Sister Hua'er?"

Xu Miaojin thought of Cen Hua.

Zhu Xuan said: "That little girl has become very good recently and doesn't compete with me, but she still needs to be strong and will stay strong throughout her life."

"The flowers are nice."

Xu Miaojin said and asked: "Should we stop at Panyu?"

Zhu Xuan said: "We won't stop here. When I pick up Uncle Twenty-one, I will go back to Yingtian. It will be almost mid-December when I go back. The time is just right."

It's a pity that I can't meet Cen Hua again.

But Xu Miaojin unconditionally supported Zhu Xuan's approach.

Returning to Mubang, I picked up Zhu Mo and replenished the ship with enough coal before heading north together.

The big ship rides the wind and waves, crisscrossing the sea, and will return to the mouth of the Yangtze River in a short time.

At this time, it had started to snow in Yingtian.

The Ming Dynasty is about to enter the Little Ice Age. The weather is getting colder now, and it is easy to snow south of the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River.

However, in the early Ming Dynasty, the impact was not great.

The snow now is still auspicious snow, which heralds a good harvest.

"Finally home."

Zhu Mo stood on the bow of the boat and shouted loudly.
