How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 485: Ruthless Money-Making Machine

Shu’er didn’t want to say anything, because if she did, wouldn’t Zhen Xu find it even easier to kill her?

She’s not foolish.

Seeing Shu’er’s actions, Zhen Xu finished his meal and retreated into the shadows.

Shu’er also went to visit Mrs. Hu, and gave her a set of skincare products from the beauty series.

After all, considering the spending level in Su County, Shu’er just put a few sets in the trading house for sale, not really expecting to make money from this. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Mrs. Hu invited Shu’er for a meal, and the next morning, they headed to Jingzhou.

After arriving in Jingzhou, they restocked on soap and beauty soap.

Then they collected the earnings from this period and reconciled the accounts.

There were many affairs in Jingzhou; after all, the industry in Jingzhou was quite large.

Here, there were several workshops and a few shops.

Shu’er had been away for a month, and with a daily profit of two thousand, she collected a total of sixty thousand taels of Silver.

She left ten thousand taels on the account for emergencies, and let Honghua manage the accounts diligently.

Then, she took Yinxing away with her.

Fortunately, now Zisu could manage, so taking Yinxing wouldn’t impact the business in the store.

This time, Liu Dafeng’s son, Lv Chuan, was also brought along, along with a few chefs.

The first place they went to was Xuzhou. Xuzhou’s reputation had already spread, thanks to the non-local merchants from Jingzhou.

Here, Shu’er also opened a restaurant.

When looking for people, Shu’er went to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wore white fox masks: "May I ask what the guest requires?"

Shu’er took out the Token, which was a silver piece with the words "Heavenly Mechanism" written on it, and a red tassel below.

"Bai Shisan pays respects to the Young Master’s Wife."

"I need 100 chefs now, preferably those with basic culinary skills. Additionally, I need 80 strong, hardworking women, and 80 men."

"Additionally, I need three people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion who can steady the situation, to oversee the affairs of the restaurant, trading house, and the workshop."

Bai Shisan said, "Give me three days, and I will certainly find reliable people for you."

In fact, what Shu’er liked most was the service attitude of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Moreover, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion fully met all the requirements of its patrons.

As long as the money was enough.

Of course, as the Young Master’s Wife, Shu’er didn’t need to pay.

During these three days, Shu’er was not idle either, wandering around Xuzhou with her people.

She wanted to choose suitable shops, preferably buying them outright, so she wouldn’t have to worry about landlords reclaiming the property for themselves when business boomed.

The shops she bought were all street-facing; foot traffic wasn’t her criterion, the focus was on the size of the buildings and the width of the street.

The city area wasn’t very large, so exploring it wasn’t too daunting.

Some stores were actually found with the help of reliable merchants from Jingzhou, and they all seemed quite good, with decent opinions.

After all, they genuinely hoped Pei’s could establish a foothold in Xuzhou; this way, sourcing goods wouldn’t be as troublesome.

The profit margins would also be larger.

They weren’t afraid of Pei’s stealing their business because they clearly understood how vast Pei’s market was.

Even if Pei’s let a little slip through their fingers, it would be more than enough for them to prosper.

Shu’er’s preliminary work continued until the tenth-day opening.

On this day, the restaurant, pastry shop, and trading house all opened simultaneously.

As for the workshop, the property had already been selected, and it was currently being renovated into a workshop format.

Initially, Shu’er placed the pastries at the shop’s entrance for sale, adopting a tasting approach.

The restaurant did the same.

Every dish had a sample, and if patrons were satisfied with the taste, they could enter the restaurant.

On the first day of opening, there were substantial discounts.

Many people, after dining, found it cheaper than eating at other restaurants in the city.

More importantly, the taste was exceptionally good and unique.

In the morning, only half of the first floor was occupied, but by evening, the entire floor was full.

As for the trading house, everyone already knew about the soap and beauty soap, as well as the skincare series for appearance enhancement, whitening, and anti-aging.

Upon seeing the discounts here, many young and married women immediately paid to buy them.

Seeing that the brand of Pei’s matched the one on the skincare products, they couldn’t help but be curious.

"Did you make this? But I see that Xu’s Trading House is selling them too."

Shu’er smiled and said, "Xu’s Trading House gets their goods from us at Pei’s. Pei’s business strategy is to establish a reputation for the products first, then we come over here."

With the mystery solved, everyone was now without worry and didn’t fear that they were buying fakes.

So this was actually the real source.

Many had wanted to buy before, but the skincare products weren’t enough, so many didn’t get a chance to purchase.

But it didn’t stop them from getting a sample to try from their close friends in the boudoir, and once they tried it, they couldn’t stop.

It was truly... too effective, wasn’t it?

The key was that even if they stopped using it, nothing happened, just maintaining the current state.

This... this was what a really good skincare product should be.

Then they secretly waited for this cream to reach Xuzhou, and now that it finally did, they weren’t going to be polite about it.

They all pulled out their money to purchase.

There’s just one word for it.

Buy!

Buy furiously!

Because they knew how effective this product was, some even stocked up several sets at once.

After all, based on the previous situation in Xuzhou, there might be a long-term shortage in the future.

It was necessary to stock up first, after all.

It should be noted that a set required 25 taels of silver, and if it wasn’t for those who were very wealthy, they really couldn’t afford it.

On the first day, Pei’s Restaurant’s revenue reached 150 taels of silver, and after accounting for drinks, the net profit was 100 taels.

Pei’s Pastry Shop’s revenue was 100 taels, with a net profit of 70 taels.

Pei’s Trading House’s revenue was 300 taels, with a net profit of 250 taels.

On the second day, the third floor of the restaurant was full, with a revenue of 450 taels and a net profit of 300 taels.

Pei’s Pastry Shop’s revenue was 220 taels, with a net profit of 200 taels.

Pei’s Trading House’s revenue was 500 taels, with a net profit of 420 taels.

The total revenue for the second day was 920 taels.

At the same time, the workshop had also started processing.

The senior craftsmen she brought had long taught the new workers how to make the products, and with clear divisions of labor and sufficient manpower, the efficiency was quite passable.

Half a month later, the restaurant, pastry shop, trading house, and workshop were all running very smoothly.

The operating model from Jingzhou was employed, and the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were already hands-on, with accounting also handled by them.

Shu’er wouldn’t say about anything else, but the management system of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was very strict from top to bottom.

Their members were also very disciplined.

Requests could be reported, but greed was unacceptable, or it meant death.

It was precisely such an almost tyrannical management mechanism that deterred any violations.

Especially since these people were trained by Tang Zan since childhood.

The chance of betrayal was almost zero.
