After serving as Gu Jingyu's bridesmaid, Lin Wanwan returned to Datang and had a deep sleep.
Getting married is really tiring, especially during the toasting session. You have to pour wine with all kinds of people, endure their greasiness and difficulty, and satisfy the wishes of the guests. You can't satisfy yourself alone. You can't fall out, you have to hold on to a smile.
It's really terrible.
Lin Wanwan takes the role of herself, I can't do that!
So she should stay single! Only a poor old girl will become the laughing stock of those around her, while a wealthy single woman will always be respected.
Working hard to make money is the most secure thing!
Lin Wanwan is indeed very serious about making money. Two days after Gu Jingyu's wedding, Lin Wanwan held the opening ceremony of her first store in Datang.
This shop is a courtyard structure. Originally, Lin Wanwan only planned to open a gouache shop, but when it came time to actually decorate and design it, she made it according to the scale of a beauty salon, and named the shop "Beauty Smile".
Now the staff has been trained, the shopkeepers and small shopkeepers are in place, and the pre-opening publicity campaign has not been left behind.
In preparation for the opening of Hongyanxiao today, Lin Wanwan sent out a lot of invitations.
She posted posts on all the noble ladies and noble girls in Luang County who could have a little relationship with her, just to see how many people would come to support them today.
There should be quite a lot of it. After all, several ladies have asked her about the foundation in her hand. She had already told them that it would be sold in the Hongyanxiao shop in the future, so they had no reason not to come.
The markets in Datang always open in the afternoon and close before the sun sets. The same goes for Hongyanxiao. The opening time is noon. So what is the time used for in the morning? To purchase goods and prepare for opening!
In an era when carriages and horses were so slow, if the business opened in the morning, many people would not be able to reach the city in time. Who would they sell to?
The journey that takes half an hour by car in modern times takes at least two hours in Datang. Unless you drive very fast, there are only a few people in the world who can afford a horse.
Horses to the people of the Tang Dynasty are almost equivalent to the BMW cars of later generations to ordinary people. Although BMWs are domestically produced and imported, it is undeniable that no matter how cheap a BMW is, not everyone can afford it. The same goes for horses, which can
A gentleman who owns a horse can already be considered to be upper middle class.
However, when the city opens its doors for business, it is obviously not possible to only target aristocrats with relatively fast and convenient transportation. Common people who walk on their legs are also a large consumer group that cannot be ignored. Therefore, opening in the afternoon is also in line with the characteristics of the times.
Half a day of traveling, half a day of shopping, and then a long leisurely return home. The pace of life of the people of the Tang Dynasty was so slow.
In the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the families of officials raised children (both men and women) according to their rank, but ordinary people did not have this blessing. In later generations, the pear garden, which was very popular among inner-city houses, had not yet appeared!
Nowadays, apart from entertaining themselves by singing, dancing, going out and partying, people rarely have other entertainment consumption, especially women.
The emergence of the Liyuan is also thanks to Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. This emperor loved singing and dancing, especially the music of colorful clothes and feathers. He set up a music and dance institution in the palace and often personally guided rehearsals. This allowed the industry to gradually develop and eventually...
The palace flew to the homes of ordinary people...
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were actually very playful, even Li Shimin.
Don't think that the Emperor Zhenguan was very diligent in his work. He stayed in the palace all day long, diligently handled government affairs, and met with ministers. In fact, Li Shimin's painting style should not be too chic!
For example, in February of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Jing and the Turks fought in Yinshan Mountain and were defeated. Bingwu arrived at Ziwentang.
What is "warm soup"? It is a hot spring. In the Tang Dynasty, especially the generation near Chang'an, from ordinary people to the emperor, their favorite thing to do was to soak in hot springs.
Nowadays, people do business and socialize at the wine table. People in the Tang Dynasty prefer to meet frankly in the public hot spring pool, grab a bottle of wine, and chat while drinking.
While Li Jing was dealing with the Turks, our Emperor Li Shimin was enjoying a hot spring bath. How worried could he be? He was soaking in a hot spring here for a while, and then went there for spring hunting. He often traveled on the go.
What will happen is that when the emperor fishes, it is very satisfying.
The emperor let himself go so freely, and the people below him naturally wanted to follow his example. For example, the 996,007 blessings in modern society had no market in the Tang Dynasty, and no one liked involution.
Considering that people in the Tang Dynasty love to have fun, but don’t have so many entertainment projects, Lin Wanwan’s Hongyanxiao has arranged a lot of performances since its opening.
Shadow puppet shows, pot throwing games, playing the piano and composing poems were all arranged. Even the group of embroiderers raised in the house were called to show their appreciation today.
The opening must be lively and lively. Although the target group of Hongyanxiao is the female family members of the aristocracy, the aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alleys. You have to shout and shout a few days before the opening, otherwise it will not be enough to just rely on Lin Wanwan to promote it when socializing with others!
Lin Wanwan is not that idle person who can socialize every day. She is really very busy.
I have to farm, study medicine, practice acupuncture and piano, and catch the sea, so how can I have time to attend banquets every day?
Therefore, we can only use modern methods for publicity, such as distributing brochures to other rouge and gouache shops, ready-made clothing shops, cloth shops, treasure shops, jade shops, etc. where women's families go!
Others feel sorry for the paper, but Lin Wanwan doesn't feel sorry for it! Send out the flyers and print them hard!
In the Tang Dynasty, you can compete with her on anything, just don't compete with money. Whoever competes with you will lose. In the Tang Dynasty, she was extremely wealthy.
When Shen arrived, the five female relatives of the Zhang, Wang, Shi, Fang, and Fan families who were friends with the Lin family came to support him. In addition, there were other female relatives of the nobles who got the news and came to see what was new.
Everyone's back home life is so boring. It's rare for something new to happen, so why not come and take a look.
So on the first day, the house was really crowded with guests, and the Silla maids’ hands turned white just by making facial masks for these people. But although there were many people who came to support them, they were willing to spend real money to become members.
But there weren't many people.
They couldn't understand the idea of depositing money in other people's stores in advance and then spending it little by little. This was completely different from what Lin Wanwan expected.
The top-up membership system suffered a blow on the first day. After a long time, only the Zhang family's granddaughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, paid one gold to become a junior member. Just because of Lin Wanwan's reputation as the village monarch, Lin Wanwan was considered a junior member.
Customers obtained through facial recognition are not obtained through marketing and deception.
Lin Wanwan thought that by copying the modern marketing model, she would deceive the ladies of the Tang Dynasty into stunned silence! But it turned out that she was too naive!
When it comes to money, everyone is very cautious! Instead, she used a lot of her free facial mask services in vain!
But it was impossible to defeat Lin Wanwan with such a small difficulty. She still didn't believe it. The first small goal was to acquire a thousand senior members within a month, and to catch all the wealthy female relatives of the upper-class families in Luan County! This chapter has been completed!
