I opened a shopping mall in Xihuan

While Rose City was still in the warm summer, Bayswater, the capital city of Sealand at the northern end, had already entered late autumn. The autumn wind was rustling on the bustling Vigileti Street, and the withered and yellow leaves were floating layer after layer.

The morning sky was cold and cold, Lin Nuo rubbed his ears and cheeks that were reddened by the cold wind, pushed open the sky-blue painted shop door, and was greeted by a smoky fragrant wind, which provoked He sneezed several times.

Although it is the spices sold in his own shop, there are too many types of spices, and the smell of mixing them together is still very pungent.

Damn, when the cosmetics make money, he will never touch these damn spices again.

Cursing in his heart, Lin Nuo walked around the spice cabinet and went to the cosmetics section to check the products.

After he bought the goods from Los Angeles, he remodeled the layout of the store, moved all the spices to the corner cabinets, and spent a lot of money to the carpenter's shop to customize four cosmetics similar to the summer forest main store. The container is placed in the center of the store, and the neat goods are placed on the cabinet by category.

The two salesmen in the store greeted immediately when they heard the sound: "Hi, boss."

Lin Nuo stood in front of the copper mirror on the counter, straightened his gray and thin curly hair in front of the mirror, and asked the salesperson casually, "Are there any customers this morning?"

"not yet."

Lin Nuo nodded, and his heart is normal. His spice shop is usually so deserted. Spices are expensive and very few people use them. It's just because of the huge profits that every transaction can last for several days. He doesn't care if there are too many people.

But now I can't let it go on like this. After all, today is the day when cosmetics are on the shelves, and there are no new customers to shop.

Lin Nuo thought about it for a while, recalling that Youxia would put an elf stand at the entrance of the cosmetics store to attract customers, so he asked the salesperson: "Where's the poster, have you posted it?"

"poster?"

"It's the promotional poster of the elves. I remember that there were gifts, rolled into tubes."

"Are you talking about this?" The salesperson pulled out the poster from the drawer and opened it, hesitatingly asked, "Is this going to be posted outside? Will it be stolen?"

"Paste, if you don't post it, where are the guests? Post it on the wall, one on each side. I'll ask the concierge on the opposite side to help you watch more," Lin Nuo said flatly, "There is also a poster of a black-haired human race on it. Just post it in the house, and post a few more."

Since the boss has ordered so, the salesperson can only do so.

It took more than ten minutes to put up the poster, and the effect was immediate. Within a few minutes, guests walked in the door.

The visitor was wearing a luxurious and dignified black long dress and a wide-brimmed hat on her head. She seemed to be a beautiful young woman, but when she raised her head to reveal a slightly wrinkled and slack face, she realized that the other person was Already old.

Although Lin Nuo didn't know her, but looking at her attire, she knew she must be a rich lady.

Leaving aside the salesperson, he greeted him and said, "Hi madam, would you like to take a look at the cosmetics?"

"I saw the poster posted at your door," the lady said, her voice sounded a bit old, "it said that there are cosmetics that can make my skin look as young and smooth as an elf, and it is a magical thing like a rejuvenating potion ?"

"Well... Although I really want to say yes, unfortunately, cosmetics don't have such magical functions." Lin Nuo replied carefully, "You also know that there are not many rejuvenating potions in the whole continent, and they are often accompanied by have serious side effects.”

The lady was obviously a little disappointed, but she still had a glimmer of hope and asked, "So what do you have in your store?"

"That's a lot, I'm a cosmetics store, as long as you can imagine the cosmetics I have here, the foundation that can make the skin fair and bright, the eyebrow pencil and eyebrow primer that make the eyebrows shape and three-dimensional, let Eyeliner and mascara for big and bright eyes, and lipstick and lip gloss for lips that are bright red and full."

When Lin Nuo was training at that time, he asked his subordinates to learn makeup, but he also learned a lot of knowledge by going to the cosmetics store every day and explaining it to the shopping guide, so he can sell it to customers casually.

When the lady was attracted by his words and expressed that she wanted to see the product, Lin Nuo immediately brought her to the eye shadow shelf.

He took out the most exquisite and high-profile embossed eyeshadow palette from the display cabinet, and opened the lid of the copper tray with a "click", and the brightly colored embossed eyeshadow that appeared inside immediately attracted all the ladies' attention.

"This is our Embossed eye shadow series. The one I have is the No. [-] Romantic Town. Its candy-like color scheme is inspired by the colorful roofs of the town. If you look closely, it is carved in the shape of a It's a beautiful rural house, and you can see the balcony and garden here." Lin Nuo introduced while watching the other party's motionless gaze.

"It is indeed a very delicate carving." The lady agreed, and then asked in puzzlement: "Can these gorgeous paints be used on the eyelids?"

"Oh ma'am, this is not a paint, it is a very fine powder, it is not poisonous, you see, I will try the color for you."

As Lin Nuo said, he took the sample color test plate to test the color.

Because it was the first time to use this plate of samples, the lady couldn't bear to see that he was going to press his finger on the exquisite relief pattern, but then, when she saw the eye shadow extending a beautiful bright orange color on the arm , she was immediately shifted focus.

"What a bright color, like the setting sun!" The lady exclaimed in a low voice, and asked, "May I try it?"

Lin Nuo shrugged: "Of course, you can do whatever you want."

The lady took the eyeshadow palette and tried every color on the back of her hand like Lin Nuo did. After feeling the delicate touch of the powder, she immediately imagined how her young daughter would feel when she used them. How bright and eye-catching.

However, these colors are still too bright and not suitable for her own use.

So she asked again: "Are there other colors of this eye shadow?"

"Of course." When Lin Nuo first saw the Embossed series, he thought that this eye shadow would sell well in the capital, so he specially included every color number.

He quickly took out another three sets of eye shadows and said: "There are four sets of eye shadows in this series. In addition to this set of romantic town in your hand, there is also the second set of Swan Castle, the third set of Thorn Garden, and the fourth set of Dream Lake , the colors of each palette are different, and you can match eye makeup with several effects, if you still can’t find the color you want here, we also have other series of eyeshadow palettes.”

The lady took the plate No. [-] and opened it. When she saw the bright gold powder in the center, she couldn't help sighing: "My goddess, is this exclusively for the royal family? Only the royal family is worthy of using such a luxurious gold color!"

Immediately, she raised her eyes and saw the second plate that Lin Nuo had just opened, and her eyes were attracted by the peacock blue pearl eye shadow in the center.

She took Lin Nuo's plate over, shook her head and sighed, "Oh, this is the color that suits me."

"If you want this set of eye shadow, I can wrap it up for you right now." Lin Nuo said, "It's not expensive, only twelve silver coins."

In fact, the price of this set of eyeshadow in Xia Zhisen's main store is less than nine silver coins, but shipping and decoration costs must be considered after all when opening a branch store, so Youxia allows them to increase the price within five silver coins.

"I'll buy all four sets of this set," the lady said without hesitation, "How many sets of eye shadows like this do you have in your store?"

"Currently there are only ten sets in the store." Lin Nuo vaguely smelled the atmosphere of big business, and said quickly, "But if you want more, I can order from the Xiazhisen head office in Rose City, and it will take about 20 days. arrive."

"Xia Zhisen?" The lady was a little surprised, "It's the wood elf's shop."

"That's right." Lin Nuo asked, "Have you heard of Xia Zhisen?"

"Of course, I have a niece who is married in Los Angeles." The lady said, "The shampoo and essential oil lotion I use now are from Xia Zhisen. I often ask her to help me buy Xia Zhisen's products. I have to That said, the stuff from the elves does work really well."

"Since this is the case, you should be more at ease. My store originally sold spices, but now it has another identity, which is the branch of Xia Zhisen Cosmetics Store in Bayswater." Lin Nuo's smile deepened: " The products in my store are all from Xia Zhisen, have you seen those posters on the wall, this is the proof of the authentic store."

·

Meanwhile, in the heart of the sunny port city of Cotter City, another branch is preparing to open.

"Boss, where is this poster posted?"

Mei Ya was carefully unpacking the liquid foundation shell, when the team member Ao Run at the door suddenly yelled, almost causing her to drop the bottle.

She exhaled angrily and shouted back: "Stick to the wall!"

"Oh, the top and the bottom are still in the middle," Aurun asked again, "How about I stick it on the top of the door for you, so that those troublemakers can't tear it off."

Mei Ya rolled her eyes, put down the things in her hands and walked to the door, and saw Ao Run stepping on the ladder, trying to stick the poster on the signboard.

"You are sick, who can see it posted on it!" Mei Ya kicked the ladder: "Come down for me."

"Oh." Ao Run jumped down from the ladder.

Mei Ya picked up the posters and flipped through them. The first few were pictorials of Li Youmen, and the posters of Rice, which were mainly black and red, were found at the back.

She pulled out a poster and held it up in front of her. Seeing the people inside raised her eyebrows, she grinned at Ao Run and said, "Come on, post this one, and follow my instructions to paste it in the center of the outer wall."

"Okay boss!"

Ao Run moved quickly, and after a while, a row of lipstick posters were pasted on the wall of the gray building facing the street.

For the residents of Cote City, this kind of publicity is really novel. Passers-by on the street will be attracted by the pictorials on the wall from time to time, and stop to look at the beauties and slogans on the posters.

"Dark Knight, soft mist matte clarinet 012, protect your beauty."

"Queen of temperament, velvet matte gold tube 476, become your own queen."

"Bright stars, matte star morning 004, I want to give you the stars all over the sky."

Josie worked in the tavern all night, and she just got off work. Originally, she just wanted to hurry home and sleep, but she was attracted by the beautiful men in the pictorials on the side of the road.

She browsed slowly along the road one poster after another, and when she saw the last poster and the advertisement on it, she suddenly felt a thumping feeling in her heart.

"Give me the sky full of stars, am I worth it?" She murmured to herself, inexplicably moved, not only by the man's sweet smile in the poster and the advertisement below, but also by the gun he held in his hand. The star lipstick studded with diamonds is heart-warming.

"But I certainly can't afford such a beautiful thing." She said a little dejectedly.

Having said that, when Josie passed by the store, she still couldn't help but look up at the signboard on the store door, silently remembering this unopened store in her heart.

·

"Liumen, is this you?" Senia Leimen asked in surprise, looking at the human-shaped stand sign at the entrance of the cosmetics store.

"En." Li Youmen nodded.

Ji En glanced at the scene inside the glass door and said, "I see that there are quite a few posters in the store."

Yolanda slightly raised his eyebrows, and teased: "I can't tell, you still have such a side."

Li Youmen's ears were slightly red, even though he was as calm as him, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed in this situation, and explained: "It's for Youxia's promotion."

"Everyone, don't stand and talk at the door, the traffic will be blocked." You Xia urged them to enter the door.

This morning, several elf elders said they wanted to see his shop, and Youxia took them all the way from the milk tea shop to the cosmetics shop, and during the whole process, no one was wearing a cloak, which caused several people to come all the way and turn around. The rate is too high, once you stay in a certain place for too long, it will block the streets.

As for why he doesn’t wear a cloak, according to the Elf King, since he wants to buy land near the city of Los, it’s best to discuss it directly with the city lord. Take the initiative better.

Having said that, after teasing Liyoumen's human-shaped signboard, everyone walked into the store, and the first thing they looked at was Liyoumen's poster.

Noticing that there were advertisements such as "Give you elf-like skin" on the posters, Senia Remon asked seriously: "Do cosmetics really have such an effect?"

"It's just a means of publicity." You Xia replied honestly: "But if the model has a good foundation, maybe it can really transform into an elf effect."

Jean said: "In other words, everything here is useless to us."

"That's not true," You Xia thought carefully, "Cosmetics have many other uses besides making people look beautiful. For example, some highly skilled makeup artists can use cosmetics to change your face and let you I don't even recognize myself."

After he finished speaking, a feeling of uneasiness suddenly appeared in his heart, as if something important had been ignored by him.

Makeup artist... oh no, Molly!

You Xia suddenly turned around and looked at the chair where the succubus often sat in the small dressing room, and found that, as expected, Jasmine was sitting there, staring straight at the elf elders, obviously there was no special effect, but she seemed to be able to feel it. His eyes are shining.

You Xia couldn't help feeling a little flustered, for fear that if the other party couldn't help it, he would boldly pounce on some elder.

On the other hand, Ji En just said that cosmetics are useless one second ago, but was attracted by lipsticks one second later, and randomly pulled a salesperson to let him introduce lipsticks.

While paying attention to the situation of the succubus, You Xia said to the Elf King: "Perhaps I can raise the first condition, that is, when outsiders ask about the source of the products I sell, can I say that they all come from the Yingdeng Forest? "

Yolanda said, "You can say that without wasting those three conditions."

"why?"

Before Yolanda could speak, the Great Elder passed by and answered him casually: "If your things come from the gift of the God of the Earth, and the God of the Earth is the incarnation of the will of the seventh-generation Elf King, then don't they belong to us in the first place? Wood elves?"

You Xia thought about it, and found that it really was the case!

Afterwards, when everyone was shopping around the store, he walked up to the motionless Jasmine and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect you to be so calm."

The succubus twitched the corner of her mouth: "Otherwise, any one of these people can crush me to death, do I dare to come over and seek death?"

You Xia thought, so you dared to tease me because I was weak?

He said with a half-smile, "You're quite self-aware."

"Of course, I'm content. It's enough to live with the things I can't get. If you get too close, you will be blinded."

You Xia was about to praise him for "living transparently", when he heard the succubus say in a turbulent tone: "Although the most powerful elf is also very good-looking, I still love my little baby the most, oh, baby It’s so handsome, and it’s even more exciting to move!”

You Xia: "..."

Because the influence of the six wood elves shopping was too great, the elf king's strategy quickly worked.

At noon that day, Youxia received the news that Marshall, the butler of the city lord, personally went to the Navigator Hotel where the wood elves stayed, and invited several elder elves to visit the city lord's mansion.
