I'm in the Red Mansion

Chapter 99 Shi Xiangyun

The Chamber of Commerce was formally established.

Soon, the alliance consisting of seven old brands and a new product, Jiangzhu, quickly swept the entire rouge and powder market in the capital.

Because currently on the market, only the foundations launched by these eight major companies are non-toxic.

The foundation sold by other merchants uses toxic lead powder as the main ingredient, and is naturally ruthlessly abandoned by the market.

Of course, there are also some small businesses that sell foundation made from rough and low-quality rice flour, which is actually non-toxic.

On the contrary, they survived because of this, and their business is even better than before.

However, the Eight Great Families did not kill all the people. When they ate the meat, they would not leave any soup for others.

Of course, it is also because they look down upon the tiny profits at the bottom.

Although the base number is large, the competition is very fierce because there is no threshold.

The eight big companies are too lazy to sink into the bottom-end market.

The Chamber of Commerce composed of the eight major families is naturally led by Jiangzhu.

And they are also beginning to divide up the market outside the capital.

These eight major companies have their own channels.

This is also true for the Xue family. Although the Xue family's businesses are not spread throughout the entire Daxia, they are more or less present in most of Daxia.

Otherwise, how could the Xue family, simply a family of merchants, be ranked as one of the four major families in Jinling?

However, although the Xue family's channels were very extensive, they did not cover the entire Daxia after all.

But this is not the case with the other seven time-honored brands.

As long as one has money, one can buy the goods of the other seven time-honored brands in any small county in Daxia.

In this regard, the Xue family is still a step behind.

And now, Jiangzhu already occupies a dominant position in the Chamber of Commerce.

If they want to fight for these shares, they will definitely be able to get them.

During this period, Feng Ziying also came to ask Jia Cong.

Jia Cong couldn't help but say: "Big Brother, our foundation is still shallow. Even if we maintain the current scale, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep up with the production, right?"

Hearing this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but nodded.

Jia Cong continued: "In this case, there is no need for us to expand blindly."

"It's best for us to take steady steps and steadily expand the scale of production."

"The market does not need to expand too much for the time being. Once the production capacity catches up, it will not be too late for us to slowly seize the market."

"And I guess, let alone us, even the seven old brands can't keep up, right?"

This is indeed the case. After all, the seven old brands also have to change their recipes and start production again.

In a short period of time, their production is far from meeting market demand.

Therefore, they are not the only ones who are anxious now.

Jia Cong continued: "In this case, there is no need for us to seize the lead."

"Don't forget, there is a much bigger market out there, and this is just the beginning."

"Don't lose your composure for the sake of short-term interests."

"We still have a lot of tricks that we haven't used yet, for example, our new packaging."

After listening to what Jia Cong said, Feng Ziying was suddenly enlightened and convinced.

He couldn't help but say: "Junior brother is right, let's do as he says."

……

In the following days, Jiangzhu entered a period of rapid but orderly development.

But all this has little to do with Jia Cong.

He enjoyed his leisure time and studied hard behind closed doors every day.

However, recently Lin Daiyu and Sanchun have been visiting him more often.

Mainly, Xichun came to learn painting from him, and Tanchun came to learn calligraphy from him.

Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, learned both painting and calligraphy.

Yingchun did not learn painting or calligraphy, but she really liked the lively and happy atmosphere of having sisters together.

As a result, Xue Baochai also liked to hang out with Jia Cong. She also liked calligraphy and painting.

One day, the girls came to Jia Cong's courtyard again. Xichun couldn't help asking, "Third Brother Cong, you draw so realistically on paper. If you draw on the ground, can you make it look real?"

Jia Cong had never tried this before. He just wrote a few three-dimensional words on the ground when he went out to sell paintings for the first time.

However, before traveling through time, he had seen a similar video on his mobile phone.

The host of the video draws on the ground, drawing a few steps, or a bridge, or a cross section.

They are all lifelike and indistinguishable from the real ones.

Pedestrians were so frightened that they stopped in their tracks, and even small animals mistook them for real.

Jia Cong himself had never painted it.

After hearing what Xichun said, he also became interested.

Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Let me give it a try."

After hearing what Jia Cong said, the girls all became interested.

Jia Cong took the paintbrush, went to the yard, cleaned the area in front of the courtyard, and started painting.

His sketches had reached perfection, so he painted them very quickly.

A small pond soon appeared under his pen, and Jia Cong also drew a winding bridge on it.

The state of perfection is indeed extraordinary.

The painting is so similar.

The girls clearly watched the painting come into being bit by bit under Jia Cong's brush.

But they just felt that this pond and this bridge were real.

Looking at the portrait in front of them, the women were all amazed.

At this moment, everyone suddenly heard someone outside the door laughing:

"Sister Ai, so you are here!"

"You guys are together every day, and you ignored me when I came, and you hid away to play by yourselves."

It’s true that I heard his voice before I saw him.

But since he loved his sister, Jia Cong guessed that the person who came was most likely Shi Xiangyun.

This little girl has a bit of a big tongue.

Jia Cong has never seen Shi Xiangyun in his life.

The main house is at the back, so he rarely goes to the front yard.

And Shi Xiangyun almost never came to the back.

Naturally, the two of them would never meet again.

At this time, Jia Cong wanted to see what Sister Shi, who was a true hero and a romantic scholar, looked like.

Soon, a girl came in laughing.

She had a wasp waist and a monkey back, the posture of a crane and the shape of a mantis. Her eyes were bright and her eyebrows were slightly thick.

It made her look less gentle, but more heroic.

When Jia Cong saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise it in his heart.

As expected, she is the chivalrous and willful pretty Xiangyun, and it seems that she should look like this.

When Shi Xiangyun saw Jia Cong, she bowed and said, "I guess this must be Third Brother Cong. Nice to meet you, Third Brother Cong."

Jia Cong smiled and said, "Sister Yun is an honored guest. Your presence has made my humble courtyard shine."

Shi Xiangyun also greeted the other girls one by one.

The young sisters hadn't seen each other for many days, and when they got together, they had endless things to talk about.

Jia Cong couldn't help but say, "Sister Yun is here. There's no point in talking in the yard. Please come in quickly."

At this time, Tanchun suddenly gave a wink to Lin Daiyu and the other girls.

Lin Daiyu immediately understood and nodded slightly.

Next, Tanchun pretended to talk to Lin Daiyu, stopped, and let Shi Xiangyun move to the front.
