The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 115 Borrowing Strength

When Ye Xinran and the others arrived at Yongle Hall, Li Qiao was circling around the persimmon tree in the backyard.

He left marks on the ground, apparently he had walked around for quite a while.

Li Mo sat at the tea table in the corridor, drinking tea, watching Li Qiao spinning around. He looked quite leisurely.

Seeing Ye Xinran coming, Li Qiao insisted on completing the last circle before coming to greet her.

"Madam Ye, Master Xiao, you are finally here."

"Huaian, sister-in-law, come over and have some tea. I just brewed some excellent Biluochun tea."

"Li Mo doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, which is different from what the guy said."

Ye Xinran winked at Xiao Huaian.

Xiao Huaian gestured to Ye Xinran to look at his hand.

"He is just like that. The more uncertain he is in his heart, the more he pretends to be indifferent on the surface. If you don't believe me, just look at his hands. He can hardly hold the cup steady because of the shaking."

Ye Xinran went to see according to his instructions.

That's true.

Several drops of tea splashed out from Li Mo's hand, but he seemed unaware.

Ye Xinran walked to the table, reached out for the kettle, poured two cups of tea, and then sat down.

He smiled and said, "Boss Li, it's a good thing that more goods are sold. Why do I see that you don't seem happy at all?"

"I am happy?"

Li Mo revealed his resentment as soon as he opened his mouth, "The Huo family just doesn't follow the rules. They rely on their wealth and power to suppress us in every way.

Our Snow Face Cream has changed its appearance and turned into Jade Face Cream. Sister-in-law, come and see if the Jade Face Cream they are selling is the same as our Snow Face Cream."

Ye Xinran opened the small jar that Li Mo handed over.

The jar is emerald green, different from the jar used for Snow Face Cream.

Even the color of the paste inside is slightly different.

Ye Xinran put the jar under her nose and smelled it. It seemed that angelica powder was added to it, so the color was not that green.

But the foundation is indeed her Snow Face Cream.

"It's definitely the Snow Cream. I didn't expect it to be so expensive after the makeover. Did we sell it too cheaply?"

Ye Xinran stared at the jar and said thoughtfully.

Li Mo looked at Ye Xinran in disbelief and couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, you don't regret cooperating with me, do you?

Do you want to cooperate with Heshun Medical Hall and sell it at a higher price again?"

When this incident first came out, this was the first thought in Li Mo's mind.

After all, businessmen are profit-driven, and who doesn’t want to make more money?

Fortunately, it was his sister-in-law who made the Snow Face Cream, otherwise he would not even have a chance to struggle.

"Ah."

Ye Xinran also admitted it generously.

“If you and your husband were not familiar with each other, I would indeed have this thought.

It doesn’t matter who I choose, I will definitely choose the one with the highest price.”

"So, you won't choose them now, right?"

Li Mo confirmed it again.

He didn't feel relieved until Ye Xinran nodded.

"Sister-in-law, we have to think of a way. Shunyitang is stealing our prescriptions and selling them for money!

Huo Jiushan, this kid, did nothing, but he was able to earn so much money just by relying on the fame left by his ancestors. I really can't swallow this."

"But, with them, won't our Snow Face Cream sell faster?"

Ye Xinran spoke in a calm tone, as if she didn't care.

Li Mo finally couldn't hold it anymore.

He stood up and turned around twice. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Xiao Huaian say, "Watch your attitude. Don't scare my wife."

Li Mo gave him a resentful look and had to sit down again.

He took a deep breath and said, "Sister-in-law, I can understand your thoughts.

No matter who buys the Snow Face Cream or how others use it, the 100 taels of silver have been obtained anyway. If a few more bottles are sold, more money can be earned, which is a good thing.

But you don’t understand the Huo family.

They can even spend tens or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to buy your Snow Face Cream, but their ultimate goal is definitely not something that can be satisfied by a few bottles of Snow Face Cream. What they ultimately want is the recipe of your Snow Face Cream.

Once they are sure that Yurong Cream can make a lot of money, they will definitely try every means to get the recipe.

Once the recipe of Snow Face Cream falls into their hands, they will be able to control the price.

By then, I can easily earn the money I spend on buying the Snow Face Cream now.

While our Snow Face Cream still has some strength left, we must put the Jade Face Cream's momentum down."

What Li Mo said was not alarmist.

Ye Xinran had also heard of such examples.

In business competition, in order to get what the other party has, one will first seize the market with similar products.

Until the other party is forced to lose its competitiveness, and then acquire it at a low price.

Unless you don't want to make money and just quit, the stronger party will always succeed.

In such an era where the strong prey on the weak, it is probably impossible to escape unscathed.

But on the way here, Ye Xinran already had an idea in his mind.

“What you said is their plan.

But what I am thinking now is why we have such a hard time selling a jar for 100 taels of silver, while they can sell it for 300 taels of silver easily. "

"It's because of their reputation!"

Li Qiao spoke unwillingly.

"Since fame can make a lot of money, let's improve our own reputation. As long as we can reach their level, we can make more money."

Ye Xinran said.

Listening to Ye Xinran talking, Li Mo sighed.

"It's not that easy. The Huo family's Shunyitang has been passed down for three generations. Their old man Huo Qiming is still the imperial physician in the palace. With this background, no matter how hard we try, we can't catch up."

“It could have been a bit of a stretch.”

Ye Xinran turned the cup in her hand, "But who made them want my things? I suddenly have an idea now. Maybe we can use their power to climb up."

"What idea? Is it a recipe?"

He knew his own business well. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't surpass Shunyitang overnight.

If you want to do something, you can only start with the prescription.

Ye Xinran nodded.

"It's just an immature idea. I'm going to go back and give it a try. If it works, I'll tell you how to do it."

"If Shunyitang comes to buy the Snow Face Cream, should we still sell it to them?" Li Qiao asked.

"Sell, of course we have to sell. Shunyitang is our guest now, so we have to be polite to our guests.

I just happened to bring fifty bottles of Snow Face Cream in my car, I'll bring them in later. If Shunyitang comes to buy them, just pretend you know nothing and sell them directly."

"Should we raise the price?" Li Qiao suggested.

"Since they are selling it for 300 taels, then we should sell it for 300 taels too! If they have the guts, they can raise the price to 600 taels!"

"Can you tell which guest is from Shunyitang and which one is not?"

Ye Xinran asked.

Li Qiao shook his head.
