Gu Xiaonan is an ordinary primary school teacher in an elementary school in the capital. Taking advantage of her vacation, she plans to go to the department store to buy one or two suitable spring clothes. Before she reaches the door of the capital department store, she sees the front A large crowd gathered around.

That little red lips.

“Lipstick?”

"A lipstick for sale?!"

One of the older recalled: "I haven't dressed up like this for many years."

Gu Xiaonan saw the two photos of the beauties with red lips, and her heart moved. Although she did not have lipstick, she tried an actor's lipstick once or twice every year when the school put on theatrical performances. The experience of lipstick is not very good. After applying it, it looks like a **** mouth. It is exaggerated and scary. It can only be used on stage. what.

Gu Xiaonan shook his head, walked into the department store, but did not go to the clothing area first, but went to the newly placed lipstick counter with the flow of people.

On the way she saw a few people with lipstick on their lips, the lipstick on their lips was not the same as she imagined, not a simple bright red, but a lighter color Red, like a little orange in the red... What surprised Gu Xiaonan even more was that when the three girls walked out side by side, the lipstick colors on their lips turned out to be different.

One of them, Gu Xiaonan, was not sure if she was wearing lipstick, because it looked like her natural rosy lip color from a distance, very beautiful.

Gu Xiaonan felt eager to try.

She walked to the lipstick counter, but there was already a long queue in front of her, and it was crowded, and the voices of various discussions filled her ears:

"Do I want this shade one, or size two, and size three looks good too."

"No. 1 is red, No. 2 is orange, No. 3 is purple, No. 4 is a reddish brown."

"I see that the number 4 is applied to the lips, it looks natural and good-looking, it is not like wearing lipstick."

"I like red ones, so I just paint them, why don't people see them?"

"I think No. 2 looks better, with a little orange in the red. Look at the person before, when she painted it, she felt that the whole person turned white a lot..."

Wanxi Lipstick has a total of four colors of lipsticks, which are distinguished by simple colors 1, 2, 3, and 4. People in line are all here to buy lipsticks, but they have not yet bought them, so it is difficult to choose First offense.

There are many people at the lipstick counter today, and there are four lipstick counter salesmen next to them. The lips of the four salesmen are painted with four kinds of lipsticks. The salesperson just uses this to let customers choose as a reference.

These four salesmen were personally selected by Su Xiaoman, and they chose four kinds of lipsticks that were suitable for their facial features.

Su Xiaoman did a lipstick application training for them, such as how to teach customers how to choose lipstick, and various ways to apply lipstick.

"You can choose this shade 1 on my lips, if you think it's too bright, I recommend this shade 4."

"The second shade makes the skin whiter."

Gu Xiaonan didn't listen to much, she already had a choice in her heart, she liked the second color and the fourth color, these two colors were so beautiful, Gu Xiaonan was at the back of the team, she also planned to Buy a lipstick.

She asked the price just now, a lipstick was three yuan, and today she brought a full forty yuan to buy clothes.

Buying an extra lipstick is nothing.

Or buy two?

The person who bought lipstick in front of them could also queue up to let the salesman who was wearing the fourth color help with lip makeup. Many of them didn't buy it, so they just watched.

This fourth-color sales clerk is a guest appearance by Comrade Xiao Ding. She often part-time makeup for actors in the song and dance troupe. She has studied how to help customers build strengths and avoid weaknesses, and what kind of lips are more suitable for what kind of lip makeup.

Originally an ordinary girl, after she put on lipstick, she added three or four points of beauty.

With a bright smile.

"Okay, look in the mirror." Xiaoding smiled and handed a mirror to the woman in the seat.

The woman in the seat picked up the mirror and saw herself in the mirror, and she was very happy

Xiao Ding also felt very happy when she saw the smile on her face. Rather than serving dishes and washing dishes at home, she would rather come here to put makeup on people and watch them in her hands one by one The bottom becomes beautiful, and she feels a great sense of accomplishment.

Even if she doesn't make money, she loves the job.

Xiao Ding discovered that his hobby was actually putting on makeup.

The person holding the mirror is looking around, and the person holding the mirror in his hand is reluctant to put it down, and he can't wait to see the attractive red lips in the mirror from time to time.

But the people waiting next to you are already anxious: "Can you move your **** faster to make room for the people behind."

The man stood up angrily.

"I want to buy one of your vanity mirrors on the counter."

Another teller smiled and handed her one.

Ordinary people, some have thin upper lips and thick lower lips, and some are born with low lip peaks, they need various ways to put on a suitable lip makeup for them.

I also helped her satisfy her when she said what she wanted.

"You help me make it look better."

The lipstick sales team is still going on. If you only buy lipstick without makeup, it will be very fast, but most of the people who bought lipstick can't help it. Waiting for someone's skillful hand to paint yourself a beautiful and suitable lip makeup.

Gu Xiaonan was in the queue, and it was her turn soon. She bought two lipsticks in color No. 2 and No. 4. These two lipsticks were very beautiful on the outside without any special patterns on them. , just a row of very nice raised brush writing:

—There is a beautiful woman, who is elegant and graceful.

The last word "Wanxi" is bigger than the others.

This font is elegantly written, with a strong ancient rhyme, when I see this line of characters, a clear and graceful beauty immediately emerges in my mind.

Before making lipstick, Su Xiaoman deliberately went to a Chinese calligraphy master and asked him for this line of calligraphy. .

Su Xiaoman printed this line on the lipstick shell.

The paste inside also has the word "Wanxi",

As soon as Gu Xiaonan saw this line of words, he immediately liked it. From time to time, he rubbed this line of raised words with his hands, and many beautiful pictures in the poems suddenly appeared in his mind.

Under the lipstick, paste the color number and the date range of the lipstick.

In addition, a small card is also presented, which briefly introduces several methods of applying lipstick. For daily use, it can be applied thinly, thickly, or smudged by hand.

Gu Xiaonan looked at it carefully for a while, but did not intend to apply her lips, but waited for the salesperson to apply her lip makeup.

While she was waiting, she heard that makeup remover and vanity mirror were also sold on the counter, so she was attracted again.

Makeup remover can easily remove lipstick on the lips. The counter sells a very small bottle of makeup remover, about ten centimeters high, which is not expensive, just a few cents. The other is a round, palm-sized foldable and convenient vanity mirror. Once opened, there is a small comb inside.

The vanity mirror has a metal shell and is very delicately made. It costs two yuan, and a picture of a classical beauty is printed on the shell.

As soon as she saw this small and exquisite mirror that can be carried around, Gu Xiaonan was tempted again, and heard the salesperson say that if you buy a lipstick and a mirror, a small bottle of pocket makeup remover will be given as a gift. , No need to think about it at all, Gu Xiaonan bought it again.

It is said that the sale has just started today, and there are activities. If you buy four lipsticks of different colors at one time, you will receive a makeup remover and mirror, and a beautiful packaging.

Gu Xiaonan felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. It turned out that if she bought four lipsticks, she could get a mirror as a gift. Then she bought a mirror and bought two lipsticks, so she might as well add some money to buy four lipsticks. lipstick.

The other two shades, even if you don't like it, can also be given to others, or sold separately to others.

"You're not being kind, why didn't you say it earlier, buy four lipsticks and get a mirror. Now I've bought a lipstick and a mirror, thanks to that."

"It's okay, as long as you make up the price of the four lipsticks now, the mirror will be sent, and the mirror money just now can be counted as lipstick money."

After hearing this, Gu Xiaonan suddenly felt that the clerk was very kind, no matter what, they would not lose money when they bought it, they could have four shades of lipstick and a beautiful dressing mirror , why not do it?

"Then I want a full set of lipsticks."

There are not a few people who bought four lipsticks in one go like her. On the first day alone, they sold 3,000 lipsticks, and on the second day, the sales were even more popular, and they sold more than 10,000 sticks, at this time, it is not only women who come to buy lipsticks, but also many men who buy in large quantities. These are not to buy back for their own use, but some men who travel around to transport and bring goods.

Even if you buy hundreds of lipsticks, it's only 300 yuan, which is nothing to these rich masters.

A small business that can be bought back and given to the woman you love.

On the third day, Wanxi lipsticks have appeared in the Shanghai stock market, and the sales scene is extremely hot. The price of a lipstick can even be sold for six to ten dollars, even if it is such a "high price", for For most "ten thousand yuan households" and "top-notch households", it is not a big money.

In the following days, several other shopping malls in the capital also added sales counters for "Wanxi" lipsticks, and the sales of such new things continued to be hot.

However, such a scene is not a rare thing for the people in Beijing. In the past few years, the economy has opened up, and there have been many explosive things. In the past, those watches, Radios and sewing machines have become common things in people's homes. Now refrigerators, color TVs, and washing machines are the fastest-selling items. Last time, it was a thick and beautiful winter coat, and this time it was lipstick. In order to get these fast-selling items, even Some people lined up in front of the department store in the middle of the night.

The capital now has a population of more than 9 million. It is a large city in China. The purchasing power of residents is very considerable, not to mention the large market in the country.

Eight or nine days later, Wanxi lipsticks are out of stock.

I work overtime to make lipsticks, and only 8,000 lipsticks are produced in one day. Su Xiaoman does not intend to blindly expand the production line. It will not take long for this big cake to be divided up by other people. It is better to gradually launch new products, establish brand effects, and be at the forefront of trends.

Su Xiaoman plans to launch a new color lipstick next time, and is still stocking water glossy lip glaze. In addition to the lipstick business, Su Xiaoman also plans to open up an eyebrow pencil production line.

There is another advantage of starting a business in the capital, that is, there are many colleges and universities here, and there are many talents. Su Xiaoman directly recruited a fresh graduate management student with a high salary to help him manage his lipstick factory.

The college student's name is Zhang Yuntao, female, 22 years old, from the countryside, born beautifully, she has her own ideas, at this time, the college students were assigned work by the school, but Zhang Yuntao did not participate in the assignment. Find a factory management job.

"Sister Xiaoman, before I came, I was worried that you would not accept me."

Su Xiaoman smiled, "I'm also worried that you, a college student, are not willing to take office."

Compared to recruiting other people from the society, Su Xiaoman still trusts the college students of this era. Zhang Yuntao is a very hard-working and creative person, a talent she needs.

With Zhang Yuntao assisting, coordinating sales, and managing factory workers, Su Xiaoman is much more relaxed. She also found an accountant, Lin Du, and the lipstick factory gradually entered the right track.

Su Xiaoman plans to rest for a few days, she will go home to count the money.

The loan owed to the bank has long been repaid. In addition, after deducting materials, labor and other costs, she has about 100,000 in her hands, and the family who know this amount are scared One hop.

"So much?!"

"It's not too much. I heard people say that if you set up a street stall, you can sell thousands of them a day."

"Manman's lipstick is hot in town these days."

"Is our family suddenly rich?"

Their family is indeed the same as other wealthy households, earning tens of thousands in a few nights and eating the first big cake. Of course, this income is still incomparable with other coal bosses .

This money is not too much, but not too little. In addition to continuing to develop the cosmetics market, Su Xiaoman also wants to invest in TV dramas and movies at this time. Less, costumes, props, actors' wages, live-action shooting, at this time to make a TV series, at least it will cost tens of millions or even millions.

In this comparison, her money is nothing.

The courtyard has been renovated inside and out.

Now that the family is rich, all kinds of living conditions have to be raised, and the broken house and courtyard should be repaired.

Xie Mingtu, who took pocket money, smiled and kissed her on the face, "It's ordered."

"Don't save money, all kinds of home appliances are arranged!" After I had money, I spoke a lot more freely.

"My daughter-in-law makes all the money she makes."

Su Xiaoman hugged and kissed him happily, "I can make money, brother Xiaotu, you have the greatest credit."

Xie Mingtu, who took the money, began to renovate the courtyard, all the rooms began to be renovated, and all kinds of cabinets and furniture were added, flushing toilets, showers and bathrooms, and tap water pipes and wires were added. Lines, buy washing machines, refrigerators, color TVs, electric irons, bicycles, motorcycles...

After this series, Su Xiaoman discovered that the house decoration is really a bottomless pit, not to mention that their house is so big, the 30,000 yuan pocket money is really just sprinkled with water, and then added more Thousands go in.

Grandpa Jiang and Master Guan got on the bicycle, Grandma Jiang and Xiao Yaoyao had several wardrobes and dressers of their own, Xie Yan’s room had a row of model display racks, Master Guan The pile of books in stock also has a new shelf, Rhubarb lives in a luxury kennel, and Sanhua has her own cat climbing frame...

Su Xiaoman found that Xie Mingtu not only decorated the exterior of the house, but Comrade Xiaotu who took the money also added a lot of decorations to the house. Grandpa Jiang and Master Guan are both people who like old objects , Su Xiaoman also liked it, so Xie Mingtu bought some porcelain, jade ornaments, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. to enrich their new furniture.

At the beginning, Su Xiaoman didn't have any specific concept in his mind, so he felt that the decoration in the courtyard was too foreign, and the decoration should be retro. nod.

"Everyone listens."

Xie Mingtu, the home decoration chief engineer, controls the sale of all kinds of furniture decoration.

Get it."

Xie Yan and Xie Yao nodded honestly.

Su Xiaoman picked up the porcelain bottle. She originally planned to fill it with water and put some flowers on it. She lowered her head and glanced at the bottle, and suddenly felt that the pattern on the surface of the bottle was very beautiful.

Su Xiaoman took the porcelain vase in his hand from head to toe, thinking that this vase was well fired, it was so beautiful, it was a bit like an antique...

Antique? ? ! ! !

Su Xiaoman: "...??!!"

Su Xiaoman showed it to Master Guan, Master Guan nodded and said it was indeed an old item.

Su Xiaoman saw that they were not surprised at all, and the whole person was shocked. This is an antique. I don't know how many real and fake "old objects" were picked up by Xie Mingtu? !

When Xie Mingtu came back from get off work, Su Xiaoman hurriedly asked him: "Where did you buy the porcelain at home, the paintings and calligraphy on the wall?"

Xie Mingtu said lightly: "Wenwan Market."

"Just bought something old."

"Manman, don't you like it? Didn't you say you want something old?"

"I'll pick the ones you might like..."

Su Xiaoman: "…"

Su Xiaoman hugged their brother Gouzi's waist, thinking that his brother Xiaotu was the biggest moneymaker behind the scenes.

Let him do decoration, he can go to the Wenwan market to find antiques, although these antiques may not be very valuable at the moment.

Of course, this straight male dog went to Wenwan market to buy things, probably not to buy antiques, but felt that the Wenwan market at this moment can find a lot of good things, cheap and beautiful .

There are so many antiques circulating at this time, and the prices have not risen.

The price of jadeite has not risen at this time.

When she thought of this, Su Xiaoman regained her spirits. In short, she couldn't treat these antiques at home as antiques, they were just ornaments, their furniture ornaments, when they were bought home, they had to be used , to play a practical role, what antique treasures, many are still used as urinals in other people's homes.

If this porcelain vase is broken by my daughter and son, it will probably still be very heartache.

Su Xiaoman gave her husband another pocket money, asking him to go to the antique market when he has nothing to do, buy some things he likes, and add some ornaments to the home.

Xie Mingtu was quite happy with the pocket money given by his wife, he did have some things he wanted to buy.

"Can I buy anything?"

Su Xiaoman nodded: "You like it."

The next day, Su Xiaoman saw him come back with a bronze sword, and a bronze statue was dragged behind it. It is said that he gave it when he bought the sword, a small broken jar.

"Manman, I spent a lot of money to buy this sword. I saw it before and liked it... You don't blame me for spending money?"

Su Xiaoman shook his head blankly: "…"

"I was wondering if we should buy another house in our family, otherwise we won't be able to accumulate so many collections - oh no, display, piece."

Su Xiaoman felt that he should be a little bit less on these things that are not very valuable in this era. Even if they are real things, what price you buy them at now, and sell them at that price.

There are too many real and fake things on the market today.

Take it lightly…

It is still necessary to open a factory and do business to make good money.
