The villain helps me build infrastructure

Ying Qi was indeed full of confidence. He was very satisfied with the three lipsticks he finally developed, and even kindly invited several female colleagues from the City Lord's Mansion to try them out for free.

Jiang Qin got three of them. The packaging is very exquisite. The whole is black with a matte feel, which is very textured, but not dull at all, because there is a touch of fine gold in the middle.

She opened the top cover curiously, only to find that there is a golden blue character engraved on the top. The font is elegant and beautiful, like a branch unfurling in spring. I don't know who wrote it. Could it be the city lord's own handwriting?

She turned over the lipstick again and found two words at the bottom. The reddest one was "Hong Yan", the water red one was "Dewdrop", and the last tomato red one was called "June". , which should be the name of the color?

It's so funny, Jiang Qin immediately sat in front of the mirror, chose "Dewdrop", and then awkwardly painted it on her lips.

The lip balm she used in the past only needs to be adjusted on the paper, and then lick her lips. This is the first time to draw lips by herself.

The paste of the lipstick is not flat, and the right slope allows her to apply the color easily, but her hand is a little unsteady, so the edge overflows a bit, but it doesn't matter, she takes the handkerchief on one side, carefully wipes the overflowing red Wipe it off, and what will appear in the mirror are moist, plump and delicate lips.

Jiang Qin's eyes lit up, and she took a closer look. The name of this lipstick is really correct, isn't the color like the dewdrops on the red petals in the morning?

She even felt that her lips were so tender that water could be squeezed out.

The first color was so good-looking, she couldn't wait to try the other two.

The "beauty" is not as moist as "dew", but the color is fuller, with a bit of sharpness in the delicate and beautiful. It is obviously only a little different, but they are two completely different feelings. If Jiang Qin knows that there is a word called Qi If they are on the field, then she will know how to describe this "beautiful girl".

As for "June", it is red with a little orange tone, so it looks extra white and very clear. If it is summer, this one will definitely look good.

Jiang Qin happily put away the three lipsticks. As for the lipstick before, she can only put it on hold. Now that she has lipstick, she probably won't use lipstick anymore.

Even female cultivators like Jiang Qin who came from the Lieyang Sect liked it so much, let alone other people. The [-] lipsticks produced were put in the supply store, and they were all sold out in less than half a day.

Su Qiuyan didn't expect this thing to be so popular, Ying Qi said happily: "Since it's so popular in Qingzhou, it shouldn't be a problem in other small cities."

However, the colors are still too few. These three lipsticks are all red-toned, and he has to develop some other lipsticks.

"Don't worry about this." Su Qiuyan said, "You can put it in Qu'an to see the reaction."

It's normal for Qingzhou people to like it. Most of them haven't even used lip balm before. Can you not like it?But Qu'an is different. Whether it's a mortal or a monk, there are basically lipsticks that can be used at home. If they can accept lipsticks, then the sales of lipsticks will be considered stable.

Ying Qi said: "Then let people sell it, I'm going to make other colors."

He focused on research and development, leaving all other things to others.

Fortunately, the deputy director of the factory, Wan Jie, is in charge. He has gradually handed over the office work recently, and is fully in charge of the trivial matters of the cosmetics factory, such as where the factory is repaired, how to build the production line, and what kind of equipment is needed. Workers and the like, these are all in his care.

Of course, he is also fully responsible for going to Qu'an to sell things this time.

It's just that he is only a Qi-refining monk, so he lacks confidence, and he has to be accompanied by a Jindan monk, otherwise what if he gets robbed halfway.

Qin Yue was reluctant to part with Su Qiuyan, so only Zhou Hai volunteered.

"I'm going out this time, and I'm going to see Wang Ning as well." Zhou Hai said.

Wang Ning has been away for almost half a month, and has not received any news so far, Zhou Hai is also a little worried.

Su Qiuyan said: "Then I will trouble Brother Zhou."

So Zhou Hai took Wan Jie, Wan Jie took three hundred lipsticks, and arrived in Qu'an in a day.

Zhou Hai didn't plan to take the lower-level route this time, so he directly posted the post, intending to visit the Lord Qu'an.

City Lord Qu'an was in seclusion, so naturally he had no time to see him, but the steward of the City Lord's Mansion knew his identity and dared not neglect him, so he immediately invited Zhou Hai into the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion in Qu'an is much more magnificent than Qingzhou. The windows in Qingzhou are made of glass, and the bright jade they directly use, although they look similar from a distance, the price is very different.

Wan Jie felt that his eyes were not enough, but he still kept his identity in mind and did not dare to lose Qingzhou's face, so he followed Zhou Hai into the flower hall without squinting.

Zhou Hai came here this time mainly to rent a shop. Since he wants to sell things, there must be a place to sell them. He is not willing to put their things in others for consignment.

As soon as the butler heard this, he asked someone to bring up the list of shops, and found three vacant shops: "The first one is on Zhuque Street, the location is the best, it has two floors, but the area is not big, and the other two need It’s bigger, but the location is not as lively as this.”

Zhou Hai didn't hesitate: "I want the one with the best location."

He also knows the rules. In places like Qu'an, many small towns have shops here. In addition to the rent, Qu'an even collects taxes, so he asked, "I don't know how to calculate the price?"

The last time the housekeeper watched the incident with his own eyes. At that time, the real person Zhou didn't ask for anything after sending the person back. Wouldn't he just wait for the interest to be collected later?

So he said: "Your Majesty Zhou is being polite. The city lord has always admired the four fairy masters. Since the little fairy master wants to rent the shop, how dare we ask for any rent."

After expressing his attitude, he changed his voice again; "It's just that the city lord is in retreat now, and I dare not make the decision. Well, the rent and taxes for the first year will be exempted. After that, the city lord can only be determined after he leaves the seclusion. You see How about it?"

Zhou Hai didn't make things difficult for him, and said directly: "Okay, thank you very much."

Wan Jie really didn't expect that with just a few words, they would get a shop for nothing, it's like heaven's pie!

After Zhou Hai took him away, seeing that he still looked like he was taking advantage, he reminded him: "You are really honest, just for the last time, they should give us a shop for nothing."

Wan Jie didn't know where Xianshan was, and his fear of Qu'an had long been in his heart, so he didn't think about it for a while, and then he reacted after hearing the words: "Then they didn't take advantage of us?!"

A little unhappy!

Zhou Hai sneered: "If you want to take advantage of Xianshan, in your next life."

Wan Jie didn't know what Zhou Hai meant, but since Zhou Hai said it, he believed it.

The two followed the people from the City Lord's Mansion to the shop on Suzaku Street.

This shop is really not big. If calculated according to the area of ​​Qingzhou, it is more than 30 square meters. Fortunately, it has two floors.

Zhou Hai glanced at the shop, and felt that the inside was a little crude, but this time he had a construction team to dismantle and redecorate. He also had all kinds of furniture decorations in his storage belt, and it would take two or three days. That's it.

Wan Jie is not as picky as he is. He just thinks that this shop is good everywhere. After all, after having a shop, they don't have to be lowered by others. Whether it is animal skins, glass, jade or cosmetics, they can be sold here, and the price can also be adjusted. decide by yourself.

So after Zhou Hai drew the design drawings, the construction team got busy.

They dismantled everything inside, repainted the walls, made a suspended ceiling, and installed a very large glass lamp in the middle. After zooming in, it passes through the transparent glass and sprinkles in every corner of the store. It is really beautiful, completely different from the simple style of other stores.

After installing this kind of lamp, other cabinets also use glass. This is not ordinary glass. It is coated with something, so it looks extraordinarily radiant, and the tops of the cabinets on both sides are embedded with lamps. It is bright, but it is just right, even if an ordinary thing is placed in this cabinet, it can show 12 points of beauty.

Wan Jie was actually a little uncomfortable with this style. He was used to the wood everywhere and the dim warm light. When he entered his shop, he felt that his eyes were going to be blinded.

Zhou Haidao: "Go and see other shops, and you will know why we have decorated them like this."

Qingzhou is not well-known in the eastern border, if you want passers-by to come in, you have to use a slanted sword.

The other shops on the whole street are basically in the style Wanjie is used to, if they also dress like this, then there will be no novelty at all.

Wan Jie looked around and had to agree with Zhou Hai's opinion when he came back.

"What should we put on the first floor?" Wan Jie asked.

If you put bricks, mud, and animal skins in such a shiny shop, it's like throwing mud into a crystal vase.

Zhou Hai had already made plans: "The row of cabinets on the left contains the model of the house, which is close to the finished product step by step. For example, the first cabinet is a brick house, the second one has been painted with cement, and the last One is installed with glass."

"We not only sell these building materials, but also design and technology."

Wan Jie's eyes brightened the more he listened: "What about the one on the right?"

Zhou Haidao: "Let's put animal skins and cosmetics on the right side for the time being, but the animal skins have to be made into finished clothes and hung on one side, and our cosmetics are placed on the other side."

As for the second floor, because there are too few things to use at all, only beds, desks and cabinets are installed as a place to sleep and rest.

After the shop was finished, the only thing left was the products. Due to Zhou Hai's request, the models and furs took some time to get ready, so by the time the shop opened, the last snow had stopped.

The next day, people who hadn't gone out for a few days because of the snow couldn't wait to go to the streets.

For the people of Qu'an, shopping is a unique pleasure for them, because in the east, only the streets of Qu'an can see all kinds of things, and other small towns are not so prosperous at all, so The lively Zhuque Street is also one of the prides of Qu'an people.

On this day, many people have discovered that a new store has opened.

This is not uncommon. Every year, many small towns want to open stores in Qu'an, but they can't really make much money, because what they have, Qu'an can always have better.

This shop called "Qingzhou" seems to have directly used the name of the city as the name of the shop. Many people covered their mouths and laughed when they saw it. It really is a remote place that has never been heard of, and they don't know how to choose a nice name. .

But when the store opened, they changed their minds, because the inside was completely different, and there was no such decoration on the entire Suzaku Street.

Looking down, it is a bright floor tile, and I don't know what material is used. It is obviously a light gray, but it has white lines, which is completely different from ordinary stone bricks, and it looks extraordinarily delicate.

Looking up, it is a majestic and beautiful lantern, as if made of bright jade, dazzling and shining.

Looking to the left and right, cabinets of different sizes were also sealed with bright jade, and inside were things they had never seen before.

This surprise made people unable to resist walking in.

Then I couldn't get out.

The first male cultivator who came in pointed to the model of the house next to him and said, "You really aren't Mingyu?"

He was really surprised. This thing called glass looks no different from Mingyu, but the price is much cheaper.

Wan Jie said: "Well, this is glass, a specialty of Qingzhou. It's not as warm and moist as Mingyu, and it's not as valuable as Mingyu, but it's also very beautiful if you put it in your home."

The supply of their glass is limited in small towns, and those who buy it are unwilling to call it glass. They can pretend to be Mingyu if they can, so most people in Qu’an don’t know what glass is.

They sold glass this time, and they divided it into several grades. The cheapest glass is nothing to look at alone, but it looks very cheap when put together with the top-grade glass. This is a problem with the refining method.

The top glass is already comparable to Mingyu, so they also raised the price according to the grade of the glass.

The male cultivator immediately placed an order after hearing the words: "I want this kind."

He was referring to the top-notch one, the price of which was equivalent to a quarter of that of Mingyu. After all, Mingyu was jade, and glass was incomparable, so the price was already very high.

Wan Jie smiled even more happily, and he said, "I don't know what size you need? If you don't know, we can provide on-site measurement services for free, and we can also customize various windows."

The several types of windows he mentioned are displayed on the model, and the male repairman immediately took a fancy to the floor-to-ceiling windows: "I want this."

Wan Jie continued: "If you want to customize floor-to-ceiling windows, our construction team must go to the site to have a look."

Floor-to-ceiling windows can't be done everywhere. Some walls will collapse as soon as they hit the house, let alone install floor-to-ceiling windows.

Nanxiu didn't mind listening to it, but felt that Wan Jie was reliable: "Okay, then I'll pay a deposit first, and you can send someone to see it now, right?"

He really couldn't wait.

Wan Jie received the deposit, and immediately called two monks from the construction team to leave with the male cultivator.

At this time, another tall female cultivator also saw the lipstick. She had never seen such a novel lipstick. The Qingzhou female cultivator Wang Ya who was in charge of the reception went over and said, "Do you want to try it? We have a trial set here." , I'll paint it for you."

The tall female cultivator nodded, and saw Wang Ya took out a new lipstick. After taking it apart, she took a small brush from the side. Although the brush was clean, she put it in the glass next to it and lightly brushed it. Moved slightly.

"What is this cup?" The tall female cultivator couldn't help asking.

Wang Ya smiled and replied: "There is a cleaning spell inside to ensure that the brushes are absolutely clean."

Both the brush and the glass were delivered from the city a few days ago. They are said to be peripheral products of cosmetics. They can also be sold together when selling lipstick, but the price is not cheap, because the hair used for the brush is the hair of a monster, and the cup It is made of glass, and there is a set of arrays underneath that can be cleaned and disinfected, so it cannot be sold cheaply.

The tall female cultivator was even more satisfied when she heard this.

Seeing that she was no longer talking, Wang Ya gently took a little cream on the lipstick with a brush, and brushed it on her lips.

After a while, the lip makeup is drawn.

The female cultivator looked at the mirror, only to feel that the color of her lips immediately became brighter, and under the light, she could still see a thin shimmer.

Different from dry mouth fat, this thing called lipstick is surprisingly moisturizing.

She immediately laughed, tried two more shades, and ended up buying all three, along with a lip brush and cleansing cup.

So in less than half a cup of tea, two orders were made in the store.

Zhou Hai was very satisfied when he heard the words: "This is a good start, but there are some products that need to be limited, you can tell customers in advance, such as top-quality glass, there is only so much a month, and there are lipsticks, lip brushes, etc., the current production is also limited. "

If there are too many things, the price will be cheap, but it can't be too little, so this degree must be grasped.

As for whether other people will imitate them, Zhou Hai is not afraid. The glass refining technique is indeed not difficult, but the top-level glass uses a small refining technique contributed by Ying Qi, otherwise it would be impossible to look like Mingyu. Almost, and this kind of technique is only known to the Dragon Clan. If the Human Clan wants to crack it, I am afraid that a master craftsman must come to do it.

Similarly, the most important raw material for lipstick is the dragon companion plant brought by Ying Qi. This kind of plant can only grow where there are dragons. Even if other people can mix the color with them, the texture will definitely not be the same. Knowing that the reason why their lipstick is so moisturizing is because of the characteristics of this accompanying plant itself.

So want to imitate them, no problem, want to surpass them?impossible!Who let them have dragons in their city?

Zhou Hai stood on the side of the street with his hands behind his back, glanced at other shops, and said sorry to everyone in his heart.

Starting today, Qingzhou will come to compete with you for business.
