The crystal and jade lipstick tubes would not cost a lot more than the current cost, but the price could definitely increase by more than a hundred times.
Also, they did not need to have many tubes like this, more than a dozen sets would be enough.
“That sounds great! In this way we can make more money and satisfy what the noble ladies and madams like. That is like killing two birds with one stone!” Qiao Xuan nodded in agreement.
Yuezheng Xiao struck his thigh and smiled. “That is true! Exactly what I think!”
Qiao Xuan thought for a while and said, “How about this, next year there will be a set of twelve beauties limited edition lipsticks, the twelve beauties each correspond to a kind of flower for twelve months. The lipstick tubes will represent spring, summer, autumn and winter which will be made of emerald, carnelian, gold, and crystal respectively. The tube will be carved with patterns of beauties and flowers, inlaid with various pearls and gemstones.”
“Three pieces will be released in one season, and the whole set can be collected in one year. Three packs can be sold at one go, and more effort should be made on the packaging. We can draw patterns and ask famous artists to sell them. You must make sure that it is exquisitely made! As for the price, I’m not an expert on it, so it’s fine for you to decide.”
Yuezheng Xiao’s eyes sparkled when he heard the idea. He patted the table in delight. “That is a great thought! We are definitely going to do this! Let’s release a set of Twelve Beauties, limited edition first, then I’ll find someone to figure out a more elaborate idea later. After that, we can launch some other series, ah, think about it slowly. This way we’re going to earn a lot of money! At that time, after deducting the cost, we will share the profit equally.”
Yuezheng Xiao already had an idea about the pricing. He decided to sell the lipsticks with cost included at more than 3000 liang for one lipstick.
Since it was a limited version, he would at most produce 10 sets so they could look rare.
He was sure that they would be very well received. They did not need to worry about not being able to sell them.
Ten sets for the 12 beauty series with 12 lipsticks for one set would earn them so much.
The two money lovers started to discuss the plan in detail.
They did not stop until it was time for lunch.
Xie Jingrong had already booked the restaurant, and they all headed there.
Inside the elegant room, Shao Yunduan was shocked hearing what Yuezheng Xiao said about the limited version of lipsticks. Xie Jingrong spoke highly of the idea when he heard about it.
Twelve beauties and twelve famous flowers would be drawn by famous artists, and the outer tubes would be made by famous craftsmen. The gold, jade and crystals corresponded to the four seasons. They were luxurious and elegant enough, and will work perfectly as limited versions.
Rare things were always more expensive, and they would definitely be sold.
A few thousand liang was nothing in rich people’s eyes. After all, real rich people had so much money to spend that it simply could not finish.
Hearing that it was Qiao Xuan’s idea, Xie Jingrong could not help but look at this girl with admiration.
The County Magistrate was totally blind to alienate and dislike this daughter of his. If he had treated her well and taken her as an advisor, he would have been promoted and made a fortune, and fame long ago instead of trying to stick up to powerful and rich people in this humiliating way.
Shao Yunduan was a learned man, but he just could not believe that someone would spend this much money upon buying one lipstick like that. It sounded ridiculous.
But Shao Yunduan could not help but feel emotional, when he saw how confident Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao were when they talked about selling these lipsticks.
He simply could not understand what was up with rich people..
