Lipsticks had become the absolute favorite of young ladies and madams in the province. They were so proud of being able to get each color.
Yuezheng Xiao did not put the lipsticks into the market in bulk, so the ladies and madams were even more eager to buy them.
The news had spread to the neighboring cities as well. Some young ladies and madams even asked their housekeepers to stand in queue just to buy them first, or asked their locally-residing relatives to purchase some for them.
His cosmetics stores were selling many things due to which they had earned a great deal.
Yuezheng Xiao had decided to set the price at 5 liang for each. After deducting the cost, he could earn 2 liang for one, which was already enough for him.
After all, the lipsticks could be sold out no matter how many there were on the shelf. Due to this single item, the store had earned tens of thousands of liang a month. In addition, the powder, blushers and all helped him earn even more.
That was just one small store.
But the lipsticks became far more popular than he had expected, so he raised the cost by two liang for each, so one lipstick costed seven liang then onwards.
He had intended to raise 5 qian for the ones Qjao Xuan brought with her this time.
Qjao Xuan had brought some new colors on this trip, which interested Yuezheng Xiao even more. Qjao Xuan took them out and showed them to him, whilst making an explanation about it.
Yuezheng Xiao bought all the lipsticks and lip balms she had with her this time.
He could not help but say emotionally, “The lipsticks are sold out so easily. Brother Shao, and Sister-in-law, give me as many as you can. My Elder Brother was here a few days ago and he was interested in the lipsticks as well. If they can be sold outside the province, we will definitely expand our business! I look forward to seeing a big business growing out of this!’
Qiao Xuan was quite glad as well. She exchanged a look with Shao Yunduan and said gently, “Of course we will, but not right now. Young Master Yuezheng, thanks for your understanding!’
“Of course I understand.” Yuezheng Xiao smiled. “We can always wait for big business!’
Although they did have some stock, he said to the public that the lipsticks were not so easily made, so the production could not be raised. That was why everyone was waiting expectantly.
In the province, the Yuezheng Family was the top in the business area, so no one dared to set them up, nor was there anyone who dared to suppress them.
Also, he was prepared to get Xie Jingrong involved in it, by giving him 20% of the shares.
Due to the existence of the young master of the Xie Family, no one would dare to touch this business.
Soon Yuezheng Xiao waved them goodbye.
He told them that he was going to open a huge banquet for them, and they would come with a wagon. Xie Jingrong would be asked to join them so they could save time instead of going to visit them at the door.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were both smart people, so they nodded and saw them off politely.
When the waiter was cleaning up, Shao Yunduan gave him 2 qian and asked him more about the Yuezheng Family.
Those who worked at the restaurant were always up to date with the gossip.
The waiter, who received money and liked talking, started to say it all out.
The couple were not surprised to hear that there was chaos in the Yuezheng Family, which was noble and big.
The waiter might not be telling the entire truth, but the big picture was definitely right..
