CHAPTER 461: CHAPTER 461: THIS MONEY IS ENOUGH TO SCARE SOMEONE TO DEATH

Cui’er was extremely angry: "What do you mean, finished? Many people are saying that Pei’s approach is satisfying! It makes me so angry."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Lin Shiyao was stunned.

How could this be possible? Pei Shu’er had driven away the mourners.

In others’ eyes, that was completely heartless.

Finally, Lin Shiyao spoke: "Why not collaborate with other merchants in Jingzhou to corner Pei Shu’er?"

Sun Wen shook his head: "Pei Shu’er is now a part of the Commerce Association, and no one dares to provoke her, fearing that she’ll quit in anger."

Lin Shiyao stood up, paced around for a while, and then her eyes brightened.

"That won’t happen; since Pei Shu’er hasn’t withdrawn from the association, it means she’s not done with her affairs. You guys can go ahead and join forces; there won’t be any problems."

Sun Wen clapped his hands, suddenly realizing.

"Right, otherwise, why did Pei Shu’er join the Commerce Association in the first place? Previously she kept saying she would quit, perhaps to threaten our association!"

Sun Wen hastily said: "Now, contact the people in the association, we have to deal with Pei Shu’er."

This time, when the Commerce Association dealt with Pei’s Trading House, it was no longer a minor issue.

However, after Sun Wen discussed this matter, a few shopkeepers stepped forward.

Sister Xian laughed and said: "I’m not participating. You can do whatever you like, of course, I won’t tattle."

After all, the commotion from the association will surely reach her, whether she tattles or not, Pei Shu’er will find out.

Several other shopkeepers with vested interests with Pei’s also explicitly stated they wouldn’t participate.

Just like that, more than a dozen withdrew.

Moreover, these individuals were mostly from prominent local families in Jingzhou.

As for those newly joined business firms, Sun Wen didn’t plan to invite them.

They weren’t significant, and there was a hint of them siding with Pei Shu’er within the association.

Meanwhile, Pei Shu’er had naturally reached out to businesses from other places to discuss the matter, mainly focusing on her soap and whitening cream.

The shopkeepers of cosmetic shops lit up upon hearing this.

Pei’s pastries collaborated with pastry shops and restaurants, and they always regretted not being in the pastry business.

Otherwise, they could have used this opportunity with Manager Pei to make a comeback.

Some shops, not even as large, managed to make a comeback and even opened branches thanks to Pei Shu’er.

Now, it was finally their time to rise.

As for doubt?

None whatsoever, the whitening cream’s reputation had already spread locally, and many wanted to use it.

As for Baochun Hall’s skincare cream?

In the eyes of experts, it was merely fooling the laymen; the difference before and after using it was negligible.

At least it didn’t have the immediate effect of the whitening cream.

Moreover, the whitening cream was functional; once you became fair, you wouldn’t need to use it anymore.

However, skincare cream needed continuous use.

Some people hadn’t tasted its benefits before, but now some users fully understood.

Moreover, as more people used skincare cream, its drawbacks became apparent.

Once used, it couldn’t be stopped.

While used, it seemed perfect, but once stopped, the face became worse than before, red, swollen, and even peeling.

It was hardly a skincare cream; it was more like a disfigurement cream.

However, only they knew the drawbacks of this skincare cream.

Among the shopkeepers present, almost all had contracts with Pei Shu’er to procure, primarily the whitening cream.

Almost every shop ordered 20 bottles; currently, there were 30 cosmetic shops, and even pharmacies got involved.

A total of 40 outlets, 800 bottles altogether.

The wholesale price for each was three taels of silver, with no costs incurred and no need for promotion, ready to sell as soon as stocked.

The net profit was two taels of silver per bottle.

More importantly, there was no worry about sales.

As soon as the whitening cream was put on the shelves, within a day, 20 bottles were sold out.

From this batch alone, she received 2400 taels of silver.

The 800 bottles of whitening cream were delivered simultaneously.

Pei Shu’er’s personal stock had some reserves of this product.

But no matter how much stock there was, production had to start, or there wouldn’t be enough to sell.

So, Pei Shu’er needed to acquire a residence specifically for producing these skincare products.

However, she had been earning a decent amount lately, with 50 bottles of whitening cream selling out daily resulting in 250 taels of silver, beauty soap selling 30 boxes for 90 taels, and 40 taels of revenue from soap alone.

Soap was not expensive, but it sold in high volumes.

Just Pei’s Trading House alone earned 380 taels of silver daily.

Pei’s Restaurant now earned around 300 taels daily; Pei’s Pastries earned 120 additional; plus, the pastry workshop earned 200 daily.

That was 1000 taels in just one day.

Looking at the money, even Pei Shu’er was a bit shocked.

Even Zisu gasped.

This money... was just too easy to make!

They knew Pei’s was profitable, but didn’t realize all the businesses together could earn that much daily!

This... if spoken out loud, would probably scare someone to death!

But Pei’s Restaurant, Pei’s Pastries, and Pei’s Trading House all pursued a high and refined route.

They attracted customers with low prices and profited by selling high-end products.

Actually, without Pei Shu’er’s presence, without these out-of-era goods, along with Pei Shu’er’s marketing and courage.

Money could still be made, but not as exaggeratedly as now!

And since she opened stores in Jingzhou, Pei Shu’er had already accumulated 25,000 taels, just in net profit.

So, when purchasing a residence, Pei Shu’er hardly hesitated, spending money to buy a large property.

After all, accumulating more real estate couldn’t hurt now; later, it could all be mechanized.

As for the Dazi Army invading, she wouldn’t let them succeed.

This was her asset here.

Pei Shu’er immediately took out raw materials, and Tang Zan found a few trustworthy people; Pei Shu’er once again started the busy production of the whitening cream.

Simultaneously, Pei Shu’er also set up an anti-aging cream production line.

Anyway, the anti-aging cream followed the same marketing strategy, selecting testers first, and then letting everyone try it.

The effects weren’t as visible as the whitening cream, but if a woman looked younger, it could be seen from her skin and wrinkles.

At the same time, Pei Shu’er also gave the anti-aging cream to Mrs. Xiao Lin.

When she saw it, she was initially puzzled, until the little maid cleared her doubts.

"Madam, this is currently the most trendy anti-aging cream in Jingzhou City; my mother bought a bottle as soon as it came out, and now she looks five years younger."

After saying this, the young girl named Shiliu smiled sweetly at Pei Shu’er.

"My mother said at the time that Pei’s Trading House can’t go wrong, and if Manager Pei dares to let people try it, then she’s confident in the product."

"Sure enough, my mother was right! So madame, rest assured to use it, I know all the techniques!"
