[Pride and Prejudice] Rich Lady

Due to an embarrassment, Mary found the reason for the unsalable part of the product, and she thought of many ways to avoid this embarrassing situation for customers.

But it is not easy. The social atmosphere in the UK is conservative. Compared with France across the strait, it can be said that it is entering an era of abstinence—the middle class, which has become rich due to business, is chasing the upper class, old-fashioned nobles and landlords in all aspects. According to their style, while there are more and more female workers at the bottom, middle-class women have to retreat to the family.These women and their families are the main customers of the workshop.

Mary was terribly worried, this soft and absorbent toilet paper is so good, but because it is "toilet paper", it seems that it will never sell well.

"I want to sell it in a box, and then there is no logo on the box, maybe everyone will feel better and not so embarrassed?" Mary said: "But to do this, after people know about our new product, they start to sell it." What do you do when you’re in the store? The clerks are too embarrassed to recommend toilet paper to customers, it’s downright offensive.”

"We can advertise." Elizabeth came up with an idea: "Treat the toilet paper as a fresh thing from the Ming Dynasty that is locally processed - the Ming Dynasty has already had toilet paper, and their paper is thicker and softer."

"Didn't the people of the Ming Dynasty use silk?" Mary looked surprised. "As described in the travel notes, the silk of the Ming Dynasty is very valuable in England, but ordinary people in this country can afford to wear it."

"The travel notes you read are too exaggerated and untrue, Mary—silk is too slippery, and it is not as good as papyrus. If the sea was not too humid, the shrewd Captain Anthony would have sold this product to Britain. I learned from Mrs. Li E I have seen straw paper from the Ming Dynasty, they divided the paper into the same small pieces, and heard that the straw paper used by the nobles, the paper pulp was boiled several times in boiling water, it is very clean and delicate, no worse than silk."

"I really want to see that powerful and advanced country with my own eyes." Mary admired, and then her attention was attracted by the crafts of the Ming Dynasty, "Maybe we can also use that method to make pulp better ?”

"After people accept our new products, of course." Elizabeth wrote and drew on the paper: "Afterwards, you can also add some grass juice, such as Houttuynia cordata juice, which can be sterilized; The harvested roses, those inferior ones that cannot be made into flower sauce, can be steamed to give fragrance to the straw paper. It can even imitate the Ming Dynasty, embossing beautiful graphics on paper, or accepting orders from noble castles , Press the graphics they want on the paper. These are high-level commodities, if we can take the first step, then the business of the workshop will soon flourish.”

This picture is so beautiful that Mary couldn't help laughing: "If you really accept customization, then someone will definitely ask to press the emblem or name of your enemy on the toilet paper-gentlemen in England can use every opportunity to add trouble to your enemy. "

"We don't accept this kind of business," Elizabeth laughed loudly, "but we can produce molds according to customers' requirements, and they can press them themselves. This is another small branch, and it can be written down first."

"The market is huge, Mary! Not only toilet paper, people are gradually discovering how convenient this kind of toilet paper can be thrown away. Maybe one day it can replace napkins, handkerchiefs, rags, etc..."

"Lizzie!" Even though dear Mary is smart and reads a lot, she still can't associate toilet paper with napkins. The little girl couldn't help but retch when she heard her sister's ambition.

Who can believe what Elizabeth said is true? In the future, there will really be a paper towel called "handkerchief paper" that will replace napkins and handkerchiefs and become a necessity everywhere.At that time, even the most elegant ladies would put a pack of fragrant and high-end handkerchiefs in their delicate bags—when girls cry, they would rather take a handkerchief than use someone else's. Handkerchiefs, this is a natural need for cleanliness.

"I said it was far away." Elizabeth picked up the quill again and dipped in the ink, "Let's continue talking about advertisements. We need to put some attention-getting gimmicks on the advertisements. There are more and more advertisements now. Compared with the new products, people are more willing to see those advertisements for hired workers and marriages.”

Inspired by her sister, Mary has a great idea on this point: "We can state that the production process of this kind of paper is all done by female workers, and has the virtues of women: soft, delicate and pure. In the advertisement of new products, you can also attach The notices for hiring female workers are more demanding, such as young, healthy, and clean girls, which will make the products more eye-catching."

"Oh!" Elizabeth couldn't help giving a thumbs up to her younger sister who knew nothing about her marketing strategy: she ignored men and specifically explained that the products processed by women, just sounding a bit mysterious makes people want to explore, this is It abruptly added a halo to the embarrassing "toilet paper".

"How did you come up with that?"

"I once drank a kind of tea from the Ming Dynasty, called Daughter's Tea." Mary was a little embarrassed, she explained: "It is said that it is very popular with the kings, nobles and rich people of Ming Dynasty. I remembered its story: this kind of tea is only An unmarried young lady can personally pick the buds from the old tea tree on the steep place, put them in her bosom, and then wash them with spring water. The young lady must come to make the tea herself. I heard that Ming people think this kind of tea is the purest, as Girls have the same character, and they also have a special fragrance, so they are very precious."

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows: "You and Mr. Anthony...?"

Mary was a little uncomfortable, and she shifted in the armchair before she replied: "It is true that I heard the story from Mr. Anthony. He apologized for cheating me into buying them. I drank his tea and decided to forgive him. "

The little girl tried her best to be calm, as if it was nothing.But Elizabeth knew that although Anthony liked to chat, the captain was indeed a profiteer. Most of his words were for the purpose of digging holes. Those who were cheated by Anthony could only blame themselves for being stupid and careless. What a guilty mind.Mary only paid twenty pounds for a set of his books, which was worth money at all, and he was willing to apologize for making tea and telling stories?

The little girls have grown up, and Elizabeth sighed melancholy. Given that Mr. Anthony's behavior towards the opposite sex is still reassuring, she decided to wait and see what happens as the older sister: Mary's social circle has always been very narrow, and it is rare for her to be willing to read books from books. Go out and talk to people.

Seeing that Elizabeth didn't get to the bottom of it, Mary relaxed and started planning their new products with great interest.

As the two ladies expected, they added a feminine aura to recommend toilet paper, and indeed received a lot of orders.The ad was elegantly worded, describing the new paper as soft, clean, and absorbent, without mentioning a single word about its purpose, except for where to order the "Kling Paper" and where it was sold.On the other page of the newspaper that published the advertisement for Klin paper, there was another job advertisement. The requirements were much higher, but the salary was very considerable, which deepened the impression and made a wave of publicity for Klin paper.

Soon, Kelin paper, which was praised as being as delicate as a "girly skin", became famous. At the beginning, ladies were still shy to buy this kind of paper that matches the toilet, but everyone soon discovered that Kelin paper also sold in stores. Ingenuity.In the Violet clothing stores in London and nearby towns, rectangular boxes depicting lilies are lined up in the corners of the cupboards, and ladies shopping can pick up a tin box by dropping two pennies into it. Box of crem paper.

The clerks in the store have been trained. They will not pay attention to the movements of the ladies. They just listen to the sound of two coins falling into the iron box. This avoids embarrassment for both parties.And the ladies brought Kelin paper home, and it was quickly welcomed by the family. This kind of paper is much better than straw paper that needs to be crumpled and softened by hand.

More and more people started to use Kelin paper, and the sales of toilet paper actually boosted the business of clothing stores. This is beyond the expectation of Miss Bennet: Few women buy Kelin paper directly, and they often buy some specially Cloth or gadgets, 'by the way' take a box of paper.

The richer landowners and nobles have no such scruples, and they have plenty of servants to serve them.Of course, some old-fashioned and rigid people still resist some new things. In their mouths, Kling paper is actually connected with morality, but this is a minority after all.Most gentlemen would feel a little embarrassed when they received the straw paper that was sprayed and softened by the maid, and they were unwilling to condescend to do it by themselves. The appearance of Kelin paper just solved this little trouble.

As the production of Kelin Paper changed from a workshop to a factory, the number of workers also changed from a dozen to more than 100.The Kelin factory is mainly in charge of Mary, and like the two eldest sisters, she has begun to control a large amount of property.The Kling paper factory has a natural advantage over the other industries of the Bennet sisters, because it absorbs almost all the scattered female workers in the nearby area, and the remuneration and security are more reasonable than other factories, making the reputation of the factory the same for a while——Mary also Because of 'helping' her father manage the factory, she became famous and overwhelmed her two older sisters to become the most popular lady in the neighborhood.

"I have long seen that Miss Mary of Netherfield is the smartest and most capable of the family! You see, Mr. Bennet did not leave the factory to his two older daughters, but let her help manage it, enough It shows how much she is valued by her father! Let us guess how much Mr. Bennet will give her as a dowry, it must not be less than ten thousand pounds?"

Many similar stories were circulating in the town, and people had come from Hatfield to visit Netherfield Manor, just to inquire about Mary.It's a pity that this young lady hasn't entered the social world yet, and judging by what she means, she doesn't intend to cross the threshold that means "marriage" in a short time, which is very disappointing.

Mary, on the other hand, was very calm. She pushed forward step by step and Elizabeth's plan. It didn't take long for the light green Kling paper with Houttuynia cordata juice and rose fragrance to appear in the cupboard. Box with leaves and roses.Inside the box, two types of paper were introduced in a thoughtful manner. Houttuynia cordata can inhibit bacteria, and rose can soothe the spirit. Even the ordinary Keling paper packed in the lily box is stamped with the "" logo.

Just when the new Klin paper was on sale, Havering Private Insanity Sanatorium received a visit from an unexpected big shot, and she specially appointed to meet the owner of the hospital.

After receiving the letter, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth had to board the carriage quickly and head towards Havering in the dark.

The big man said bluntly that he wanted to meet the two owners of the hospital, especially Elizabeth.In view of her identity, everyone in Netherfield was on tenterhooks.

The author has something to say: Kelin Zhizhi, Mary is also on her own, more popular than the two "settled" sisters~
