Seeing her expression, Fu Heng was startled, he thought that she did not know how to use it. But just as he was about to laugh and teach her, he saw that she had already opened the lid skillfully, turning the base to push up the blubber.
"So, it's just a mouth moisturizer. Second Brother is indeed meticulous. He knows that I won't be able to use the lipstick that I made outside for the next one or two years." Xu Mingwei smelt the fragrance as if it was from Jasmine's beeswax. In addition, he mixed a few other types of gentle oils to soothe the crispness and hardness of Jasmine's wax.
She looked at the tubular packaging outside again. It looked like it had been irrigated with metal, but she didn't know what it was.
Fu Heng looked at her in surprise and asked, "You have seen this before?"
It was too late for Xu Mingwei to pretend that she did not know her now, she only said, "I was about to ask you, this thing was made so easily, and my brother found it on the ship?"
Fu Heng nodded his head, "A small one would cost as much as an acre of fertile land. According to second brother, it had become very popular overseas recently. The price would be doubled if the shell was inlaid with shellfish and stone. He found it interesting, but he was unable to get his hands on the gem-encrusted one.
Xu Mingwei laughed, "This little thing only costs one or two pieces of silver. I'll laugh at him later. "
Fu Heng had originally wanted to say that it was also because of his brother-in-law's good intentions, but was moved by her words all of a sudden and asked with widened eyes, "Why is the cost of this thing so low?"
Xu Mingwei nodded her head. If she did not have the energy to look for the fine copper smith with the tube, she would have been able to do it. But hearing Fu Heng's meaning, she choked on her words, thought for a while, and then replied: "This business is easy. "I'll give you a few ideas, but I don't want the rest. How about I give you a one percent bonus package?"
Fu Heng was unable to hide his astonishment, the woman's home, the exit was after money, it was his, and in the future, wouldn't it be hers?
Xu Mingwei laughed, "You can't do this business by yourself. The teachers of the other two houses had not even seen a hair of the other two houses, so how could they not be in the public court? You'll have to find a few partners and introduce someone who can be the head of the organization. You can only come up with some capital. Don't blame me for asking you for a bonus every year. This is a dowry for our children in the future. "You don't love your daughter anyway. If I give birth to her in the future, I'll have to deposit the dowry money for her."
Seeing that she was turning over old debts again, Fu Heng was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, and sighed, "I only casually said that for a moment, I will teach you for an entire life, and after you give birth to your daughter in the future, you don't think that I do not love her for nothing."
Xu Mingwei smiled and looked at him, unwilling to believe it, "Who knows, we only know after looking at the rest."
Fu Heng could only say, "Forget it, we will listen to you. No matter what the net profit is, we will at least split a percentage of your bonus money annually, is this enough to satisfy you?"
Xu Mingwei nodded his head, then started to explain in detail, "You took this tube to look for a few sturdy copper blacksmith men, if you want to be able to make meticulous things, it's best to buy them all, so as to avoid them digging around in the future and keeping the New Year fat pigs for others, leaving behind a pile of meat that you can't fish out in the water."
Fu Heng's face became more serious, he only noted it down secretly, and heard her continue, "After we find a suitable workshop, it would be best to avoid eyes and ears, or else we can take care of the mold, this business will require us to monopolize for a year or two, and even if others copy it, there will be no place for them outside."
What kind of monopoly would it be, since it could be so painstakingly copied? Fu Heng could not help but ask himself, but he did not have an answer. Although he had two stores under his name, he did business in silk under the manager's name. He also did not care about the quarterly balance, and did not ask about the business in the store, so in this business, he was no smarter than Lady Wang.
"That is not difficult to say. When you get back, you can ask my mother for two makeup women. Tell them to make a different kind of dark and light colored paste. If they can hold on, they won't be able to get rid of the hot weather. You wouldn't understand this even if I told you. I only showed this to my mother. She naturally knows that it is one of them. The first batch will only be placed around twenty in the ancient pavilion to be sold for one tael of gold each. They will be sold for ten days, and no matter how much is left, they will all be reclaimed. In addition, they will be sent to other families in the name of your partners. "It would be even better if he could make it in time for the flower sacrifice. He can keep the ancient pavilion hidden for the next day so that the people who come to ask can step through the door. At this time, it's time for the real goods to be sold."
Fu Heng was startled when he heard it, but he could roughly guess her intentions. First, he bid a high price in the capital, then bid on the ladies who were considered rich in the capital. If you sell it elsewhere in the capital... A share or two of the capital was not even worth half a tael of silver, but it was worth one tael of gold! The profits from it were unimaginable!
"I forgot to mention that when you guys imitate that tube, remember to leave a mark on it. Just don't carve it with your surname." What women use is a delicate, roughly made, and cannot be sold for a good price. "If not, why would you look at my second brother? Why would you want to steal the jewelled one? It's not like there's any difference between the items in there." Xu Mingwei said.
Fu Heng was still paying attention to the Ancient Underworld Pavilion that she mentioned earlier. How did she know that the Ancient Underworld Pavilion would ask for this mouth fat to sell? After some thought, she realized that the sable cloak was borrowed by the Duke of Qin. At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if the Xu family had turned the corner to help His Highness Duke of Qin accumulate money. He obviously did not know that Xu Mingzhang would gift his this birthday present. However, he didn't know how long this business would last for. A tael of gold was not a small sum after all …
"First of all, there is second. After about half a year of selling them, it was about time for the others to show off their skills. At this time, they were still not willing to pay a single cent, just changing the shell. They would do it more meticulously and put up a limited number of sales sign, for example, there were only two hundred of them. "At the same time, I will push some fresh ones to you. I will draw a blueprint for you in a bit and put in all the makeup. There will be a western mirror and also a logo. Not only will the capital sell it, but you can also sell it back to the Southern Ocean."
In fact, there were many other ways to do business. For example, buy one, send one, get member points, and then develop a secondary card. With similar ingredients, it would be cheaper to sell a new logo and use cheaper prices to quickly substitute for fat-mouthed paper. It was just that they didn't know what to say for a while, but for someone like her, it was clear that it was the "I'm very expensive, you can't afford to buy it" mode of sale. When the time came, she probably wouldn't need to say anything. The people from the Duke of Qin's side would've thought of a more suitable idea long ago.
Since her family, her husband's family, and her best sisters were all on the Duke of Qin's side, she could only hope that he had an extra chance at winning the throne. Otherwise, no one would be able to escape the endgame.
That night, Fu Heng accompanied her to eat longevity noodles, then happily took the tube of lip balm and headed towards the study room. Xu Mingwei then told Wan Rong to wait at the door while she took a rest. Unexpectedly, after only two steps, his stomach began to churn with pain. Seeing that she was suddenly holding onto her stomach, Wan Rong felt that it was not good and immediately said to Wan Rou, "Grandmother seems to be starting to move, quickly call the Old Lai family and Lady Jin over."
Wan Rou stared at her, "If we really have to activate it, why did we have to invite them first? I went to invite the stable woman."
As he spoke, he ran out. Wan Rong had no choice but to call Wei Bao, thus she was slightly relieved. She went over to support Xu Mingwei, and asked anxiously: "Grandmother is really going to attack? "Is your stomach really tight?"
Xu Mingwei shook her head, "I don't know either, it was too painful to say anything, and now it's better."
Just as she finished speaking, her stomach once again throbbed in pain, but she was still able to endure it. Wan Rong pointed at the hem of her skirt and screamed, almost scaring her too, "Grandmother, it's the amniotic fluid that's broken."
Xu Mingwei looked down and actually saw a small puddle of water on the ground. It was too painful just now, but now that Wan Rong said it, she felt that it was cold on her legs.
The Lady Jin and Old Lai's families had just arrived. They were all experienced people and could tell what the situation was. The Lady Jin said to Wan Rong, "Grandmother is about to give birth. Go and get the kitchen to prepare hot water.
The delivery room was prepared in advance in May, and it was cleaned every day, smoking the mosquitoes. Lady Jin was talking about something that shouldn't be there, but to prevent someone from learning from Qing Mei and secretly hiding something.
Wan Rong was only worried that she had nothing to do, so when she received the Lady Jin's orders, she hurriedly left as if she had found her pillar.
Meng Ting and Meng Yang had never seen such a scene before, they were all cowering in a corner with a panicked look on their face. The people who taught the Old Lai family how to take care of things for them, in case they get flustered later on, they would only get in the way.
Jade Peaches was not present today, there was only Wei Bao who did not have a place to make the arrangements. Seeing that her hands and feet were quick, Lady Jin instructed her to go to the Xu family and inform them of the news. She only said that it had just been activated and did not know when she would be born.
Although Xu Mingwei saw that the room was in a mess for a moment, she quickly taught the Lady Jin and Old Lai's arrangements, and her heart became a lot calmer.
"Grandmother, please change your clothes first. It will be easier to have new ones later." The Lady Jin said.
Xu Mingwei's stomach started to hurt even more, she had to endure the pain and change into a new skirt. With their support, she walked around the house slowly, and only after doing some exercises did she feel better.
