Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 208 Business Wizards
Unlike Yang Qian in Jizhou City, who had to deal with evil spirits all day long and whose mind was filled with calculations of life and death, Yang Xun's life in Sandao City was extremely comfortable.

Other shops were all named “XX Rouge and Powder Shop” or “XX Studio” or “XX Pavilion”, but Yang Xun’s shop was just named with two words: Shenyan.

It sounds confusing and subconsciously I think, what the hell is this?

But the word "神" in the name is arrogant enough. The "颜" at the end triggers endless reverie.

Coupled with the huge store, exquisite and luxurious decoration, and the groundbreaking move of having all the pretty and simple women as shop assistants, the store's grade was immediately set apart from other stores, and by a long way.

Which store would put exquisite and delicious snacks in the store for people to taste for free? There are even fresh fruits and sweet drinks.

Which store would give free products to customers, calling it a "trial" and saying if they like the product, they can just buy it?

Whose store doesn't have "cheap stuff" at all? Anything with the lowest price is also the highest grade in other stores? The general price is two to three times more expensive, and even the "most recommended" price here can be said to break most people's perception of the price of rouge and powder.

A box of facial cream the size of a baby's palm costs only a little over one or two taels, and it's sold for sixty silver coins!

A set of rouge, powder and maintenance kit that claims to "beautify and reverse aging" costs three gold coins!
are you crazy?
When other families came in and saw this, they all sneered, thinking that the owner of this "divine face" was crazy.

But soon they found that although the things here were extremely expensive, they could not stop the noble ladies from the city from coming here one after another. They were usually very stingy, but when they came here, they were extremely generous and bought sets of things with just a wave of their hands.

Even such expensive “God-like” products were out of stock in just over a month!

Not only is it ridiculously expensive, it also sells ridiculously well!

This immediately confused those who claimed to be experienced in this industry. They didn't understand, but they also knew that there must be a secret to success behind this seemingly outrageous surface.

It is said that the products here are really not exaggerated, and they really have the magical effect of nourishing the skin and reversing aging. Even if it is only a little bit, it is incomparable to other products.

Expensive? Expensive for a reason!

But what is this called in the eyes of others?
Robbery? This is much more cruel than robbery!

Walk around the store and look at the clearly priced items on the counter. Anyone can vaguely hear the sound of gold flakes falling into other people's pockets like water.

Is anyone having any evil thoughts?
Yang Xun could easily guess that Shen Yan's success in making a fortune would certainly be coveted by others. But what would it matter if he was coveted?

What is he trying to do by trying to control the Yang family's business in Sandao City? Is he seeking his own death?

Who dares to touch the business of Yang Qian, the younger brother of the chief officer of the Jizhou Prefecture City Patrol Department and the Five Thunder Palace Little Immortal Master? Who dares to rob him?
nobody.

So Yang Xun was already worried about why his products were so easy to sell, but the herbs and processes required were so complicated? Even if the price was set so high, he still couldn't sell them freely. The store was only open for two months and the demand was already insufficient.

The noble ladies in the Three Dao Cities alone don't consume so much. But the "gift" attribute of this thing is high enough. And the effect is good. When you use it to go the "lady route", it will definitely be much more face-saving to give it away than gold and silver jewelry, and the effect is much better!
Because the gift you gave to the other party, if they find it effective and want to use it for a long time, will they contact you? After a while, won’t the relationship be established?
Yang Xun told his elder brother in a letter that he would not consider opening a branch within half a year, but now it seems that the process of opening a branch may have to be accelerated. At the same time, he also has to train a few trustworthy people to help mix some materials and speed up output.

Eating is the time when Yang Xun is at his best every day. He sits on the chair with his bowl in his hands and eats the rice with big mouthfuls. "Has your elder brother not replied yet?" Xu Ying sat in the upper seat, looking a little unhappy.

"Mother, how long has my brother been in office in Jizhou City? He is very busy now, and it will probably take a few days for him to reply. Why are you in such a hurry? I am not in any hurry either."

"How old is your brother? He will be thirty in a few years! Other families of men his age have children running around everywhere. He is not in a hurry. If I don't urge him, I don't know how long he will wait!

Besides, weren't you anxious before? Are you not anxious now? Are you going to run to a brothel as soon as you have some money in your hand?"

Yang Xun almost had a mouthful of rice stuck in his throat. He quickly said, "Mom, please don't blame me. I told my elder brother everything according to your instructions. I am on your side!" Yang Xun sold out his elder brother without hesitation.

He had to sell it. Yang Xun couldn't stand his mother's nagging.

"My side? Don't think I don't know. You two brothers must have discussed it behind my back.

But this is a big deal, do you think your brother will go to see the girl from the Fang family?"

Yang Xun saw the hesitation on his mother's face, and for a moment he could only say seriously: "Mom, I may not go. First, he is too busy, and second, if he wants to delay, there is no need to go. He can just reply to you "I don't like it" when the time comes. You really can't do anything about him. You can't force him to get married, right? Big brother won't let you arrange it."

This was not pleasant to hear, but Xu Ying knew that the second son was telling the truth. She really couldn't force a marriage for her eldest son. After all, the eldest son's status and temper were there, and if he was unhappy, no one could force him.

"But mother, are the Fang family really that good? They are just noble officials, and they can't help big brother at all. And is the girl in that family really as beautiful as you said? Can she seduce big brother's soul?"

Speaking of this, Xu Ying smiled and said proudly: "A noble official is better! And you, a street thug, don't know shit! The Fang family has many connections in the officialdom, and even in the capital, they have many students and relatives. If they want to help, they can definitely help your brother.

As for that girl, hehe, although I have never seen her in person, but I heard from Mrs. Wang that she is extraordinarily beautiful, considerate and gentle, and influenced by her family's education, her literary talent is not inferior to most scholars.

Although your brother is outstanding, how could he not be attracted by a girl like this?

Humph! My son, how could I not know? As long as he goes to see the girl from the Fang family, the marriage will basically be settled."

Although Xu Ying didn't have much experience, she was not stupid. She had been going in and out of the courtyards of various families in the three cities these days. After learning from what she saw and heard, she pondered over it when she had nothing to do. Now she had a good idea of ​​what was going on.

Seeing his mother so confident, Yang Xun also became curious about what the girl from the Fang family looked like.

We spent the whole meal chatting like this.

Just after dinner, the servant came to say that there was a guest at the front door, saying that he was from Jizhou Prefecture, and came to pay a visit to Old Madam Yang. There was also a visiting card.

Yang Xun took the visiting card and saw that it was gold-plated.

There were a few words written on the visiting card: Hongyunfa Horse and Carriage Company, Manager Wu Zhong.
