After Ji Linglong left, Lin Jichen wondered whether he should give Ji Tongyin some gifts for her birthday.
Thinking about this problem, he went straight to a shop that was not yet open. There was a plaque hanging outside the shop: Democracy Rouge Museum.
The name is strange, but the store is a gold store.
Although it was not open yet, Lin Jichen still walked into the store without any hindrance.
It is already filled with all kinds of rouge, gouache, perfume and lipstick.
There are so many things to look at.
Lin Jichen was able to get in so easily because he opened this store.
These days, apart from studying music theory during the day, I have nothing to do, and it’s hard to go out of town to practice for fear of wasting time.
So Lin Jichen took advantage of the evening time to take care of his unopened shop.
In Fengqu City, he still has 5 shops that have not been opened.
There are still 8 shops that are not open in Yunxia City. It is a waste to keep these shops empty.
Lin Jichen then ran to Yunxia City and used these few days to imitate the gourd and open a pharmacy, equipment store, pet store, auction house and inn.
The names are all the old names of the original Fengqu City, which are made into time-honored brands.
In order to open these stores, Lin Jichen exhausted all his brain cells, recruiting employees, collecting materials, preparing products, promoting advertisements, etc.
I am as tired as my grandson after busying myself.
He said that he and Li Xinghun would not be that tired after playing ten more games.
I'm really not good at business.
If it weren't for a few taels of silver, Lin Jichen really wouldn't want to deal with these things.
Everyone has areas in which they are not very good at, and they just don’t know anything about business.
His greatest advantage and ability in this regard is to seize the opportunity and occupy a large number of gold stores.
And this move also makes him nearly invincible, just like other guilds who open shops and engage in various commercial activities, discounts and promotions, etc. in order to attract customers.
Lin Jichen's shop has never done this. It's not that he doesn't want to do it, but it takes too much brain cells. Lin Jichen doesn't want to waste too much time, so he doesn't bother to do it.
In this way, other stores are still far from his opponents.
After all, Lin Jichen's store has already become famous and has taken the lead. The location of the store is so good, the place is so big, and there are so many things.
No matter how much other stores try to compete, it will be of no use if they cannot catch up in these aspects and achieve little.
Many people were jealous, and many bosses complained that Lin Jichen was like a rookie holding a magic weapon. No matter how good he was, as long as he knew how to use it simply, he would still be invincible.
This is really a typical example of how a pig can fly even if you put it on the vent!
Lin Jichen was not angry about this, but felt quite honored. Of course, after the honor, he felt exhausted both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, he has opened an old store before, so he is familiar with it and can just keep doing it according to the original model.
And the most important source of goods is that his old store now has more and more employees, and the goods accumulated in the warehouse every day are barely enough to supply the opening of a new store.
The new store is also recruiting a large number of people, and Lin Jichen has brought hundreds of players recruited from the forum into the new store.
Then choose an NPC to take charge of management and be the store manager.
Players will not let them be store managers, mainly because they cannot be trusted.
In terms of credibility, Lin Jichen believed in Nuwa's data.
I want to take advantage of these few days to open all the remaining shops into new ones, such as restaurants, cinemas, rouge shops, jewelry stores, clothing stores, etc.
But Lin Jichen overestimated his business ability.
Only then did I realize that it was too difficult to open a new store.
He first opened a rouge shop to test the water.
Because no player can make something like rouge, so we can only rely on the craftsmen in the game, and craftsmen are relatively rare.
Even if Lin Jichen hired people every day, he still couldn't find many.
Inviting them was only one of them. Lin Jichen also had to research various raw materials for rouge gouache and then buy them everywhere.
To this end, he hired a large number of NPC craftsmen to specialize in production. He also recycled various rouge materials from the public screen in the world, and then asked the craftsmen to make them separately.
Once the finished product is ready, it will be put on the shelves and marked with a price.
Lin Jichen definitely doesn't want to earn mortal money, all he wants to earn is spiritual stones.
The only people who are willing to sell rouge and spend spiritual stones are female monks.
In order to cater to the taste of female monks, Lin Jichen chose to make and sell rouge gouache with aura.
For example, a certain kind of lipstick is made from the rhizomes and flowers and leaves of the Red Reed Flower Demon in the Golden Core Realm. It not only looks good when applied, but also has the effect of increasing attributes or reducing damage.
These materials are not cheap, and the quantities are not large.
Of course, the price is not cheap either. An ordinary bottle of foundation-building rouge gouache costs dozens of spirit stones, while a bottle of crystal-level rouge powder costs hundreds.
Lin Jichen has been making acquisitions these days, and can only barely meet the needs of this rouge shop.
He currently has 7 stores left to open, but Lin Jichen really has no energy left.
God knows how he, a novice businessman, has been doing these past few days.
There are specialties in the profession, and it is really a torture for those who are not good at it and do not know the profession.
Lin Jichen said he didn't want to open a new store for the time being. Even if he planned to rent it out to others, he wouldn't want to do it himself.
He really wanted to ask Jiang Luoyu for help, but he also had a lot of property to deal with, so he had no time to help her.
It would be better for her to hire a right-hand assistant to help. In short, Lin Jichen wouldn't want to worry about the store anymore.
He just wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper and concentrate on his cultivation.
Lin Jichen stood in his rouge shop and began to carefully select, and finally chose a spiritual rouge gift box.
This gift box is the most expensive in his store, costing tens of thousands of spiritual stones, and there are only less than ten copies.
Then he went to the largest treasure pavilion in Yunxia City and spent tens of thousands more to buy a decent piece of jewelry, and then he collected Ji Tongyin's birthday gift.
After doing this, Lin Jichen's pockets were empty again.
During this period of time, several major stores had accumulated millions of spirit stones, but he had squandered them all in the past few days.
I took it all to open a store.
Lin Jichen could only lament that spiritual stones really don't have to be spent.
Of course, Lin Jichen, who has opened six new stores, is full of confidence. It won't take long for him to earn back the spiritual stones he spent.
Two days flew by.
That afternoon, Linglong sent his maidservant to lead Lin Jichen into the Qianlong Palace secretly.
Lin Jichen hasn't been here for a long time. Since the quarrel with Ji Hongyue, he is not welcome here at all. He is not even allowed to buy a store now.
If he hadn't sneaked in on a carriage, the guards wouldn't have let him in at all.
No one expected that this public enemy of the Qianlong royal family would sneak into the palace again.
Lin Jichen was still a little nervous while sitting on the carriage. If Ji Hongyue discovered this, his life would be at stake.
My master didn't know that he had gone to the palace to fool around again. It might be too late to save him...
But there was nothing he could do. Who made him feel ashamed of Princess Tongyin all the time?
