The two girls did not stay for long. After a while, they left. When they left, the little palace maid Xia Xi was still in a daze and walked unsteadily.
Meanwhile, Li Chongyi was considering speeding up the pace of his business. He had to accumulate enough capital for himself within a year. This was a hard condition. If he wanted to marry two princesses, how could he not have some capital?
Of course, he had to use some other moves. For example, he had to first make Zhangsun Chong lose the right to marry Li Lizhi!
The combination of positive and strange was the way of the king.
For the next few days, Li Chongyi hung out with the craftsmen. Li Chongyi paid special attention to the production of perfume and personally checked every step.
This was the first batch of perfume. He would pursue perfection in all aspects. He wanted to become famous in one shot. This was not only related to the sales of the perfume, but also related to other products in the future. Although the people of the Great Tang did not have the consumer consciousness of the modern era, it was better to do more than to do less. The customers had a scale in their hearts that could measure the difference.
After a full ten days, the first batch of perfume was finally ready. There were three grades in total. The first grade was Lancome, which was specially for the ladies. There were only 30 bottles. The second series was called Estee Lauder, also known as Unlimited Charm, with 70 bottles. And the last series, L'Oréal, was 200 bottles of the civilian series.
The shop was also ready. It was the shop in the East City that Li Chongyi had won from a bet with Li Tai. There was definitely not enough time for renovations, so they simply tidied up. The walls were covered with light yellow silk and the floor was covered. According to Li Chongyi's request, everything else was not important. The most important thing was cleanliness. At the very least, it had to make the guests feel clean.
Then, Li Chongyi wrote a few pieces of calligraphy and hung them in the shop as decorations.
Of course, publicity was necessary. Before that, Li Chongyi had already gotten someone to print 2,000 flyers.
At this time, more than 12-year-old children were scattered around Chang 'an City, handing out flyers. According to Li Chongyi's request, these flyers had to be distributed to those who had the ability to buy them.
In order to distribute the flyers, these children were really hardworking. They actually ran to the entrance of the palace and took advantage of the time when the ministers were waiting outside before the court session to distribute the flyers to those ministers. Who asked these ministers to be people who bought abilities?
If this was the modern world, people with such status would not be bothered to read the flyers! But this was the Great Tang, and this was the first time they had seen something as new as a flyer. Curious, they all took one and began to read it seriously.
Thus, when it was time for the court session, almost all the officials had a flyer in their hands.
"His Majesty has arrived!"
"If there's anything, report. If there's nothing, withdraw!" As usual, the eunuch called out a few words and the morning court session officially began.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" The Minister of Rites, Chen Shuda, stepped forward and took out a memorial from his sleeve. He opened it and was about to read it when a piece of paper suddenly fell to the ground.
"Oh?" Li Shimin asked with a smile. Did Shuda receive another letter from Zheng De? A few days ago, Wuji mentioned to me that Zheng De did well in Shun Zhou.”
Seeing Li Shimin's gaze fall on his feet, Chen Shuda hurriedly said,""Your Majesty, this is not a letter from my son, but a gift from a child before I entered the palace. Each person has one, and it looks interesting.”
"Oh? How interesting? Read it and let me hear it too."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Shuda picked up the piece of paper from the ground and read it,"" At this moment, gold and silver seem cold, gems lack vitality, and luxurious carriages are not attractive enough. Don't be pretentious and feel the true luxury. Only the Lancome Lady's True Self Perfume is the desire of every woman. It can help you commemorate all your good times! May 13th, Fragrance Pavilion in the East Market. See you!”
Li Shiming knew that it was Li Chongyi's doing. He should have reprimanded Li Chongyi for his 'improper' behavior, but he thought about the fact that the perfume was owned by 30% of the palace. He had to support it, or else Empress Zhangsun would not be able to get away with it!
"En, this one knows about this perfume. It is indeed a good thing. The Empress had a bottle by chance before and liked it very much. Everyone, why don't you buy a bottle for each of your wives? Alright, Shuda, continue with the report.”
"Yes, Your Majesty…"
……
Naturally, there was an important place to distribute flyers, and that was the brothel.
Almost all the brothels in Chang 'an received the flyers.
Previously, when Li Chongyi and Li Tai made a bet, they had made a small wave of advertisements for the perfume. At that time, because it happened at the entrance of the brothel, there were many brothel women who were watching the show. Some of them were already curious about the perfume and made up their minds to buy a bottle when they could buy it.
After all, this was the time when even Empress Zhangsun used this perfume.
Therefore, the effect of this wave of advertisements was even better.
As for ordinary people?
Li Chongyi did not expect ordinary people to buy perfume. The so-called commoner's perfume was not sold to ordinary people. Which ordinary person would be willing to buy such an expensive thing?
On May 13th, Li Chongyi's Fragrance Pavilion officially opened. Li Chongyi brought Yue 'er to the Fragrance Pavilion. At this moment, the signboard of the Fragrance Pavilion was covered by a piece of red silk. However, through the red silk, the words " Fragrance Pavilion-Chang 'an Store " could be seen.
Compared to Li Chongyi's confidence, Yue 'er was a little worried. This worry was not because of the products. As Li Chongyi's girl, she naturally had a bottle of perfume. She had a bottle of almost every kind of floral fragrance, and they were all top-notch. She liked these perfumes very much.
Her worries stemmed from the price set by Li Chongyi.
Of the three grades of perfume, the cheapest one cost 4999 wen per bottle, which was only a penny and five strings of coins. The second grade was 8999 wen per bottle, which was nine strings of coins. The first grade was 29999 wen, which was thirty strings of coins.
This price was simply too expensive, especially the first tier. Not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy families and even those concubines who were not favored in the palace could not afford it! According to her thinking, if the price was cut in half, it would still be acceptable.
However, Li Chongyi was not worried at all. In his opinion, even if the price was doubled, these perfumes could still be sold. However, for the sake of the long-term business, he set the price so low.
One had to know that a certain amount of rabbit treasure had been added to these perfumes. In terms of quality, they had been greatly improved, especially the first-grade perfumes. They were not inferior to some ordinary perfumes in the modern world.
