Chapter 177: Chapter 169: The Beauty of Flowers

"People are already inquiring about the moisturizing cream? So soon?" Lu Yun arched her brows, she had thought about waiting at least a year or so before selling the moisturizing cream.

"Yes, it’s because the effects are so good that word spreads fast. I’ve already asked your Aunt to come over tomorrow to hear the news. It’s best if we can discuss a rough draft of the bylaws tonight. The only thing is, do you have enough skincare cream to sell?"

Xia Yuan wasn’t sure whether to be happy or worried, afraid that Lu Yun would shake her head, so she asked with a worried face.

"There’s enough. That’s actually something I made myself. I can supply however much is needed," Lu Yun nodded.

"Ah, so this is also something you made yourself, no wonder it’s so effective. But weren’t you studying alchemy? How can you also make skincare cream?" Xia Yuan was both happy and puzzled, "Shouldn’t we give this moisturizing cream a name? How much should we sell one bottle for? If it’s too expensive, no one might buy it, but too cheap won’t do either, as the outside Hailey Oil only costs five cents, a dime... What about selling it for one yuan?"

"And what’s more important, how should we sell it? We can’t just put it on a snack stand to sell like potato chips, can we?" Lu Aiguo interjected from the side.

"Can’t we just wholesale them out like potato chips?" Xia Yuan blinked, "We sell it for one yuan, and even wholesaling for eighty cents would still be profitable."

"Mom, do you think this is cabbage?" Lu Yun couldn’t help but laugh. One yuan would really be selling at a loss.

"Too little? Have you seen cabbage selling for one yuan?" Xia Yuan’s eyes widened.

I have.

Lu Yun almost blurted out, luckily she held back, and then covered her mouth and laughed. The Chinese cabbage in the future would cost more than one yuan. But saying that now, mom and dad surely wouldn’t believe it.

"Dad’s idea is definitely not workable. I have an idea about this. But I don’t know if your Aunt and Uncle are willing or dare to..." Lu Yun shook her head and smiled.

"You mean to ask your Aunt to set up a stall and do business?" Xia Yuan guessed boldly.

"Not right, but also right."

Lu Yun smiled at her mother, "I’ve thought about it, let’s name the skincare cream ’Floral Beauty’."

"Floral Beauty?" Everyone repeated softly a few times, then all nodded.

"I think that’s a good idea," Lu Aiguo laughed, "It’s perfect since the skincare cream is for women, Shitou and I would be inappropriate to make it, and we’re already too busy with the potato chips to handle this. It would be best for your sister to take on this task."

"But if sister starts doing business and people from her factory see her, wouldn’t she lose her job?" Xia Yuan hesitated, feeling Xia Na wouldn’t agree to give up a good job for the sake of doing business.

She looked at Lu Yun, "You said it’s both right and wrong, what exactly is it then?"

"Mom, do you think ’Floral Beauty’ sounds good?" Lu Yun took out a bunch of skincare cream and arranged it on the table in a pattern of blossoming flowers, the delicate glass bottles, with their elegant green color, looked especially translucent and lustrous under the light and the reflection of the bottles themselves.

"Our ’Floral Beauty’ is naturally the best." Xia Yuan was full of confidence in this, believing that those who had used it would think the same.

"Mom, do you believe that one day our ’Floral Beauty’ will sell even better than the potato chips, and will earn much, much more?" Lu Yun picked up a bottle of ’Floral Beauty’ and gave it a deep look, casting her eyes towards her mother without directly answering her question, then her gaze shifted to dad and Shitou, as she smiled and arched her eyebrows.

"Impossible," Xia Yuan and Lu Aiguo’s faces both showed shock as they instinctively responded in unison.

Only Shitou nodded, "I believe."

"How could that be? You all know how much money the chip business can make in a day, don’t you? To earn much more than that, how is it possible?"

The voice of Lu Aiguo grew fainter under the steadfast gaze and smiles of both Shitou and Lu Yun.

"Xiaoyun, how much do you plan to sell a bottle of ’Flower Face’ for?" Xia Yuan suddenly asked seriously.

"I’ve prepared three types; the first kind will have half the quantity, be packaged in a floral iron box, and the effect will be reduced by seventy percent, selling for three yuan a box; the second type will come in a floral glass bottle, with the effect reduced by fifty percent, selling for nine yuan a box; the last kind will be like this one, priced at ninety-nine yuan for now."

Lu Yun said while feeling the pinch—settling for just ninety-nine for the last kind felt like a substantial loss.

Lu Yun had made her fortune in her previous life by selling ’Flower Face,’ so she was especially knowledgeable when it came to these matters. But in her previous life, when she began to sell these products, the skincare market was already quite mature, making the start relatively smooth.

Now, in an era where the average person’s salary was a mere thirty or forty yuan, and many still didn’t prioritize skincare, pricing could only start like this; any higher...

This was one of the reasons she had originally planned to delay selling ’Flower Face’ for a few more years. Plus, in her original plan, there was no first type. Such a product needed to target the high-end market—the higher the price, the more it seemed worth a try. And once women started using ’Flower Face,’ who would be willing to abandon it and switch brands?

"..." Xia Yuan was dumbfounded; wasn’t this pricing just extortionate?

"If you reduce Seventy percent, that’s only thirty percent of the effect left. Won’t everyone stop buying after trying it once?" It took a good while for Xia Yuan to find her voice again, which now had a touch of hoarseness.

In her opinion, perhaps only the first type might somewhat "deceive" a few people. But with the effect reduced by so much, it was likely just a one-off deal. She just hoped that after people used it, they wouldn’t come knocking on their door making trouble.

"Isn’t thirty percent effectiveness enough?"

Now it was Lu Yun’s turn to be taken aback. Don’t underestimate the thirty percent effectiveness; even that was enough to surpass all the most renowned international brands. Of course, compared to a certain potion from an island country in the future times that caused "disfigurement" for instant effects, their three-yuan iron box ’Flower Face’ couldn’t immediately show its superiority in effectiveness.

But if we speak of long-term effects, it’s incomparable—she felt disdain for those brands. Thinking about how, in the future, media had exposed the horrific consequences of that product for many years, yet there were still many who, for the sake of transient beauty, threw caution to the wind.

This showed just how persistent and crazy most women’s pursuit of beauty could be.

Therefore, Lu Yun wasn’t worried at all. Instead, she casually remarked, "If they don’t want to come back after using it, then they don’t have to."

"..." Xia Yuan stared at her, somewhat exasperated.

"Mom, even if Aunt Xia loses her current job, she will definitely have no regrets in the future. You have to have enough confidence in our ’Flower Face.’"

Lu Yun quickly grabbed her mother’s hand and shook it coquettishly, "You must believe that even the three-yuan iron box ’Flower Face’ is enough to drive people who’ve used it crazy."
