Chapter Thirteen: A Visitor From Afar (1)
The store has opened in a lively atmosphere. There are three famous flowers in "Living House" in charge. It is difficult to become famous without thinking. However, the three beauties are not as simple as working. Under Yang Yi's inspiration, they are now shareholders of the store, each accounting for 20% of the shares. The shares are not in vain, and of course they have to invest, so Yang Yi's turnover problem does not exist for the time being.
For the purpose of caring for them, except for the first day of opening, the store will not receive male customers in the future. The big sign at the door shows that the men stop.
He gave all the things in the store to these three sisters, so the shopkeepers of "Life" who are of course these three, the accountant or the three, the guy or them, HOHO. Yang Yi didn't know where to hide and have fun secretly when he found such a good boss.
The busy days always pass quickly, and Yang Yi, who has freed up his hands, focuses on product development, employee training, and production management. The effect of "beauty" is quickly spread on the market. With the three live advertisements of Huo Xiaoyutou and the others, the products produced are always out of stock, which is a bit in short supply. Now the ladies and ladies in Shanghai often complain that Shanghai people cannot buy things from Shanghai because customers from all over the country were in a hurry and Yang Yi's orders were scheduled until March next year. For this reason, Huo Xiaoyu and the others forced Yang Yi to agree and give priority to supplying goods to specialty stores in the future. Yang Yi has now squatted in the factory all day long, like a death-hunting ghost, asking workers to work overtime.
Half a year passed in a flash, and in December 1852, the Taiping Army had entered Hubei and was in a state of unstoppable force. The troops were approaching the city of Wuchang, and time became even more urgent.
A large fleet sailed into the dock in Shanghai and came down a group of foreigners. The leader was not someone else, but Hoffman, who Yang Yi had been looking forward to for a long time.
After a warm hug, Yang Yi and Hoffman reunited in Shanghai in winter.
"Oh my God!! Hoffman, how did you bring a fleet of roads? Is there a navy in Prussia?" Yang Yi joked.
"Friend, you are such a genius. Do you know what I have brought? I am now the General Office of the Empire's Business in China and the Chief Advisor of the Empire's Ambassador to China."
It turned out that after Hoffman returned to Prussia this time, the beginning was not smooth. The foreigners were also afraid of new things, let alone things used on their faces. For women in the upper class, if they ruined their faces that could still be seen, it would be a big loss.
Although Hoffman used all the methods to promote it, the result was that except for tea and silk, the cosmetics were not sold at all. But luck came, and the city wall could not stop it. One of Hoffman's classmates was from the Kerberu family. He invited Hoffman to attend a dance party of the Kerberu family. At the dance party, Hoffman met a woman who always had thin sand. The classmate introduced him to him and found out that he was the direct granddaughter of the Kerberu family. He had a veil because his face was full of beans. Many doctors could not cure it. I was really embarrassed to use that face to meet people. When Hoffman heard this, Hoffman immediately recommended the "Beauty" series of cosmetics. Before Hoffman left, Yang Yidian lost dozens of bottles of facial cleanser that he had just made.
Under Hoffman's advocacy, the lady bought the "Beauty" brand facial cleanser and widow for use. This use was a big deal. After a week, the Doudou on her face could not last long. In another week, the Doudou would not be seen on her face. The scars left by the Doudou were also lost under the action of the widow, and the whole face seemed to be growing again. A month later, Miss Keberu could finally attend the dance without wearing a veil. She said "Beauty" cosmetics when she met everyone, and she would appear at any time.
By the way, even Hoffmann gave a large amount of rewards, and also bought a widow and facial cleanser for one year in one go. This time, Hoffmann and the "Beauty" became famous among the wives and ladies in the upper class. The "Beauty" who was originally seriously unsold suddenly became the most popular treasure. Hoffmann took the opportunity to sell too high and sold in limited quantities, making a big profit. Due to the limited "Beauty" brought back, many young men in the upper class were kicked under the bed by their wives or lovers because they could not buy "Beauty", and threatened that they would not be allowed to go to my mother's bed if they didn't buy "Beauty".
Hoffman, who became rich and famous, suddenly became a legend in the upper class. The best husband and lover of the ladies and wives, appeared in dance parties and entertainment venues all day long. Even the Prussian Daily conducted an exclusive interview with Hoffman. (In fact, the reporter couldn't buy the "beauty" and couldn't get into the lover's bed for three days. He didn't get a deal, so he volunteered to the editor-in-chief to come for an interview. He took the opportunity to buy Hoffman's only bottles of widows.)
Of course, people have to talk to others. An interview is full of splendors, what is the Prussian warrior encountering gods in the East, what is the gentleman Hoffman fighting pirates bravely, what is the "beautiful" cosmetics creating miracles, for a time, only those who can read in the whole of Prussia can find someone who doesn't know Kane Hoffman. It's difficult to find someone who doesn't know Kane Hoffman.
This report doesn't matter. If the newspapers don't publish Hoffman's news for a while, then you don't want to sell it well. The Prussian Daily's approach was immediately imitated by other newspapers. Aren't you writing about Hoffman's adventure in China? Other newspapers wrote "The rise of the declining family - Hoffman's growth experience", and the one wrote "The past that Hoffman and I have to tell - the true confession of Hoffman's first love Miss Mary." After digging deeply, some reporters actually discovered that Hoffman
The Mann family is a great and legendary family. More than 200 years ago, Hoffman was a close relative of the ancestors of Emperor William now, and was directly from a grandfather. This alarmed Emperor William. At that time, he decided to personally meet Hoffman, a relative of sweet potato vine, and established Hoffman as a representative figure of the successors of the empire in developing the East. At the same time, he was awarded the title of Viscount to the General Office of the Great Prussian Empire in China and the Chief Advisor of the Imperial Ambassador to China.
The old arms dealer, the Keberu family, knew that Hoffman made money by getting a few broken guns from their family, and immediately realized that China was a huge arms market. So his classmate, as the representative of the family, had an emergency consultation with Hoffman. (Which of these arms buyers is not as good as the dog Turin, and what else does he do if he moves slowly?)
Hoffman signed an agreement with Kerbert Company as the European CEO of "Liren" Group to jointly run a factory in China, with Kerbert providing half of the equipment and technology funds, and the "Liren" Group providing half of the land and the other half of the funds, each of which holds 50% of the shares. At the same time, he also signed an agreement with Kerbert Cosmetics United Industrial Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Kerbert family, to Prussian general agent of the "Liren" series of products. (In fact, his classmate asked an acquaintance to help register overnight.)
Hoffman, who had made a fortune and became famous, admired Yang Yi so much that he could not be more respected. He was determined to implement Yang Yi's instructions without any discount. He was active everywhere and poached everywhere. As soon as everyone heard that he could make a fortune in China, he asked more people to come to China. After careful selection, Hoffman was not good at technology, not handsome, and not handsome enough to affect the image of the empire, and not too old. In addition, the technicians and technicians sent by Keberu actually loaded 5 ships of 1,000 people, and the machinery, equipment, guns and ammunition they bought, and the equipment brought by the Keberu family, were 13 ships, which were not much smaller than a fleet.
(I have to accompany my wife tonight, but I can't write it. Now I'll post a little first and everyone can read it.)
