MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 473 Packaging empowerment

 There was still more than an hour before the agreed time. Qin Yao and Song Yu did not return to the inn, but asked about the news about Fulong Trading Company on the street.

 Half a year has passed, and with the support of the eldest princess, the strength of Fulong Trading Company today has been greatly improved compared to before.

Now the suppliers of Fucheng Chinese medicine shops have been changed to Fulong Trading Company, and the leather materials in major cloth shops also come from Fulong Trading Company.

 Other tea and groceries are also involved.

Although he is not yet the number one customer in Zijing Mansion, he is currently the most popular customer of the Water Transport Department.

I heard from guests in the teahouse that Fulong Trading Company is now preparing to contract all the ships at the Zijing Mansion Water Transport Terminal to earn money from the river transport.

This is not something that ordinary firms can do. Only someone above them can hope to intervene in the official business.

Precisely because of the high-profile behavior of Fulong Trading Company in the past six months, some people in the firm even speculated that it was Qiu Yanmai who murdered Guo Lin, the owner of Jinglin Trading Company, and was now preparing to replace him.

When Song Yu inquired about the news, Qin Yao was picking up herbal tea to drink and almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Of course, she was a professional and didn’t really spit out the tea.

However, being so close to her, Song Yu still noticed something and asked with concern: "Madam, are you okay?"

Qin Yao waved her hands, but finally drank the herbal tea in one gulp and said something fair for Qiu Yan.

She said: "It is absolutely impossible that Qiu Yan killed Guo Lin."

The few people who were discussing enthusiastically immediately turned to look at Qin Yao and asked unconvinced: "Why are you so sure!"

Qin Yao thought to herself, I don’t know about the person I killed?

With a calm expression on his face, he said: "These two people are totally incompatible with each other, and their business scopes are also different. There is no need for Qiu Dong's family."

 She clarified it anyway, whether you believe it or not is none of her business.

 “Let’s go.” Qin Yao motioned to Song Yu to pick up the lady’s box. It was almost time to go to Dengyun Tower for the meeting.

Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen arrived first. When they met, they were all old acquaintances. Qin Yao introduced Song Yu, and the four of them sat down one by one.

The food was served very quickly. After eating a few chopsticks, the four of them talked about business.

Qin Yao didn't need to mention the final payment this time. Jiang Wen took the initiative to hand over the money.

 The last order was for 5,000 book boxes. A deposit of 1,000 has been paid in advance, and there is still a balance of 1,000 left.

 The money used was a banknote. Song Yu took it and checked it, confirming it was correct, and nodded to Qin Yao.

Qiu Yan said: "We will order five thousand more this time. We can deliver them before mid-December."

Qin Yao frowned slightly. The quantity requested was obviously less. It seemed that the Shenli Book Box had passed its best-selling period.

 According to this situation, next year's total shipments may not reach 10,000 units.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao winked at Song Yu and asked him to take out the new product and show it to the two of them.

Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen saw the box covered with gray cloth when they entered the door just now, but Qin Yao didn't mention it, so they couldn't take the initiative to ask about it.

Now I saw Song Yu pull away the cloth cover to reveal the small portable box inside. Reflecting the peach blossoms embossed on the surface of the box, my eyes really lit up.

Qiu Yan looked at Qin Yao with great interest: "What is this?"

"Lady's box." Qin Yao nodded, and Song Yu understood. He stood up and moved the dishes on the table to make a space, and gave Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen an all-round explanation of the use of the lady's box and the design concept.

 The sentence "only for noble ladies" made Jiang Wen's eyes light up.

Especially the small bronze mirror built into the box is particularly innovative. Of course, noble ladies all have their own makeup packages, which are also equipped with bronze mirrors to facilitate daily makeup application.

 However, the bronze mirror cannot be taken away at any time, and it is not as pleasant as this small side.

 In short, when Jiang Wen, a grown man, saw this lady's box, he felt that if he bought it home and brought it to his wife and daughter, they would definitely like it.

Qin Yao scooped up the soup stock that Dengyunlou’s chef had specially cooked for nine hours. While tasting it slowly, she said:

“This time, I plan to take the mid-to-high-end route, positioning it as the home of those officials and merchants. They have the strongest purchasing power and have the capital to use the Lady’s Box.”

“If the owner and shopkeeper think it’s good, we might as well cooperate again. We will produce the products and you will be responsible for packaging and sales.”

Qiu Yan frowned slightly. He heard a new word, "packaging?"

"Yes." Qin Yao smiled and said: "If I say this is a box that can hold things, then it is completely inferior to other large wooden boxes, and no one will buy it."

"But if I say that this is an exclusive suitcase specially designed for noble ladies and a symbol of status, wealth and rights, then it is no longer a worthless wooden box, but a lady's box specially designed for noble ladies."

This explanation is simple and easy to understand. Qiu Yan nodded and understood what she meant - brag, brag hard!

Jiang Wen asked tentatively: "How many ladies' boxes can the factory produce in a year?"

"Well" Qin Yao thought about it seriously, but her tone of voice seemed very perfunctory, "Let's tentatively decide on two thousand. After all, it is a limited edition that is purely handmade and carefully carved by workers."

Jiang Wen couldn't hold back his smile.

Qiu Yan also reminded Qin Yao with some helplessness: "There are many skilled craftsmen in the world, but we can't supply enough in the early stage. Even if we have all the tricks, we can't stop the emergence of counterfeit products."

“Besides, noble ladies may not buy our account!”

Song Yu was shocked when he heard what he said. Yes, he had almost forgotten about it.

How to stop counterfeiters?

 In fact, this is not the point. The point is how to make their lady's box unique.

Song Yu was afraid that Qin Yao had not thought of this. After all, Qin Yao had not mentioned how to push the box out during the whole trip.

anxiety?

  There is no such thing as her.

Three pairs of eyes looked over. Qin Yao was still drinking soup calmly and said in a leisurely tone:

“We can empower the product. If we want to make the lady’s box produced by Fulong Trading Company unique, it’s actually very simple. It depends on who is using it, and we only use products from Fulong Trading Company.”

Having said this, Qin Yao raised her eyebrows at Qiu Yan and Jiang Wen. Her hints were equivalent to making it clear, and they should understand who she was talking about.

"Moreover" Qin Yao picked up the lady's box on the table and suddenly said as if she just remembered:

"Since we are taking the mid-to-high-end route, the raw materials of this box must be upgraded by at least two levels. The box body must be made of top quality wood, the lining and partitions must be made of silk, the Huarong Road clasp must be made of jade, and the handles must be made of jade. Wrap it with ribbon."

“Not only that, but also need to make anti-counterfeiting marks to ensure that it can be distinguished from other counterfeit products.”

“Okay, that’s all I can think of for the moment. The dishes are getting cold. Why don’t you eat some more?” Qin Yao asked sincerely.

Song Yu, Qiu Yan, and Jiang Wen glanced at her numbly. You just made people excited, who can still eat it?

  Qin Yao, “Then I’ll eat them all.”

The three of them were still immersed in this novel marketing concept and couldn't get over it. They didn't care at all whether she ate it all or not.
