Gu Shishi also rushed to the last bus for Singles' Day.
Many of the branded skincare products, clothes, and even the painting tools she wanted had pre-sales activities with more discounts.
She happily discussed with Huo Chuchu which was the most cost-effective and which she could stock up on.
This wasn't something a rich girl should do in the first place.
She had everything at home.
Even if she didn't have it, Mrs. Lin would prepare it for her as long as she asked.
Even daily necessities like facial cream were custom-made and stocked.
But Gu Shishi felt that she should enjoy the fun of shopping on her own.
She was also someone who sold paintings and had a small savings.
How could she not buy, buy, buy!
If she didn't spend money herself, how could she make money quickly?!
Therefore, not only did she participate, but she also asked a bunch of her best friends to participate … However, Ling Xiaomei's shopping ability was a little different from hers. The Qin sisters were busy working at the hospital and writing journal papers until they were bald. Only Huo Chuchu was free and could do it!
Therefore, the two of them sent shopping links to each other every day and stocked up on face masks for almost two years!
Even Huo Chuchu, a real rich girl who couldn't be bothered to care about Singles' Day, was dragged into the water this time. She even felt that it was fun!
Yes, fun, fun that she couldn't experience in a rich family!
It was only then that Huo Chuchu realized that it was so interesting and exciting to see a cat building a post, giving likes, receiving small red packets as subsidies, staying up late to place orders, discounts, and double the freebies!
Huo Chuchu also lacked friends and the experience of ordinary life. He hit it off with Gu Shishi, who was born and raised in an ordinary family!
The two of them were so happy that they forgot about home.
Singles' Day wasn't over yet, but they were already thinking about what to buy on 618 next year.
Huo Sishen, who had been ignored at night for an entire week, expressed that he couldn't understand.
The fun of women.
The joy of shopping.
The excitement of staying up late to place orders.
It was really hard for him to understand.
But from a businessman's point of view, he was once again sure that the women's market was really a big piece of cake that could be mined.
People who didn't have much money would be stupid if they had too much money.
He didn't know which part of it was worth buying a bunch of useless items.
The face masks had expired and could only be thrown away or given away. He had already foreseen the result.
But … as long as his wife was happy.
"Is there enough money?"
After observing for a week, Mr. Huo could only say this in the end.
He was the perfect example of a man.
Gu Shishi nodded. "Yes, it's fine. Chuchu and I have already paid in installments."
Mr. Huo wondered if he had heard wrong.
"Ask Si Yi to send you a card in the afternoon. What about the credit card I gave you last time? "
Gu Shishi shook her hand. "No, no. I still have money. Didn't the Zhang family give me a card back? I'll pay in installments. Hua Pei has a discount. "
Very good.
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
His wife had actually reached the point of paying in installments.
However, she enjoyed it very much.
He pursed his lips and lowered his gaze.
"Yes."
There was nothing he could do about it.
As long as she was happy.
"Where's Chuchu? She's also interested in those promotions? "
Huo Sishen suddenly felt that his former godsister's theory was wrong.
Excessive oppression would only lead to excessive freedom after gaining freedom.
It is better to let go than to block.
"Yes."
Gu Shishi looked up from her phone screen.
"It's very worth it. If you pay in installments, you'll earn at least a month's bank interest."
Huo Sishen took a deep breath.
After Gu Shishi finished speaking, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she saw his expression.
"Experience life."
"You won't be able to experience this kind of fun."
Huo Sishen nodded.
Indeed, he had never done it before.
However, he didn't intend to interfere with the things that little girls liked to do. He only needed to support them.
"Sleep early tonight."
He was just unhappy about staying up late.
"Roar!"
Gu Shishi was almost done with her shopping.
That night, she returned to being an obedient little wife. She washed herself early and lay in bed to wait for a certain someone …
From the next day onwards, the satisfied Mr. Huo didn't ask about the Double 12 anymore.
At the same time, the sales data of Hua Jian were continuously displayed in the background of Liu Zhichao and the others' computers.
The promotion period for the new brand was only one month.
The market share was congenitally insufficient.
Liu Zhichao set the Double 12 sales for himself: one million yuan. That was about 5,000 units of products sold.
From the moment the pre-order channel was opened, he had been staring at the data report every day.
Liu Zhichao was panicking!
He and all the employees in this factory, from research and development to production to testing … to sales and marketing … Nearly 400 people had been abandoned once!
Because the product operation failed, it was abandoned by the previous boss and sold as a package.
If the new product and brand failed again, what would his fate be? What would the fate of the other people in this factory be?
If they were sold again, would they be able to find a new boss? Or would they be declared bankrupt?
If the employees were laid off or laid off, as the general manager, he would be blamed.
"Old Liu, do you want to go for a drink tonight?"
R&D Lao Xia walked to his side.
Anyway, it was going to be a sleepless night.
Liu Zhichao nodded. "Sure."
He wanted to smoke!
He couldn't sleep at home.
On the first day of the pre-order, only 34 units were sold.
For the next three days, the average daily sales was about 50 units.
The sales at the offline counter were also average. Because there were few stores, the consumers didn't know much about this brand. Everyone was very careful about what they applied on their faces.
"Sigh, the boss is right. We should do a livestream. I saw that little boy last night. He sold more than 5,000 units of lipstick in one night. "
"This is the ability to sell goods."
Liu Zhichao felt terrible just thinking about it.
He couldn't make an appointment now!
Their Double 12 business contracts were already fully booked.
It was a different era. They were still old-fashioned and focused on offline marketing. Their online marketing was lagging behind.
"This is just the first step. Don't be afraid."
Lao Xia sipped his tea.
"Didn't the boss finish drawing the promotional posters for next year?"
Liu Zhichao's expression suddenly became strange.
Speaking of this, Boss Gu was really enthusiastic.
She drew one a day and finished drawing the packaging drawings for all the products in no time. In the end, she still wanted more and started to draw promotional posters!
In the past few days, she even said that she was going to make a special poster for the top three customers on Double 12.
A skincare company that refunded the customers' drawings was also a strange thing in the industry.
However, he felt that this refunding was quite reliable.
Because he couldn't take his eyes off the original poster drawn by the boss. After looking at it for a while, he wanted to look at it again and again … Although he couldn't describe it, he felt that it was exquisite.
If he got it, he would make a profit!
"I have to go and ask if the boss has prepared the few paintings that will be refunded. Ask the marketing department to put them on the website as soon as possible. "
Liu Zhichao suddenly stopped smoking.
He walked to the entrance of the factory and went back to the office.
Lao Xia also put out his cigarette. "Okay, I'll go and test the new formula too."
**
Gu Shishi had indeed finished drawing.
The packaging of the product was at most a small design. She had drawn the three sides of the gift.
The emperor's face.
The lady's hairpin.
The swordsman's swift movement.
The scholar's drunken wine.
In addition, she made a few fan faces to entertain herself. This time, she took them out as a bonus.
When she put down the selling price and commercial value of the drawings, she felt the freedom and joy of a fish swimming in the sea when she picked up the brush.
The painting style changed from the previous simple, delicate, and traditional style to a more relaxed and lively one.
Liu Zhichao sent a message to ask. She had just finished taking photos and was about to send them to him.
"I prepared 12 sets of gifts. Some are drawings, some are fan faces, and some are sketching glassware. You see, do you want to give them in order of sales or keep a few sets and give them to the first ten thousandth order or the 6666th order customer? "
"Okay."
Liu Zhichao hurriedly agreed.
But he wiped his sweat again.
The first ten thousandth order?
With so many orders, he would probably not be able to sleep from laughing!
Sigh.
The boss's expectations were so high.
He frowned even more.
The results of the pre-sales for the past few days were really bad!
But Gu Shishi didn't know his worries. Otherwise, she would probably comfort him.
Many people didn't participate in the pre-sales.
Especially those in the circle of tycoons.
At least, Chen Kexin said that he would be ruthless this time.
Simply put, ten thousand orders were about two to three million yuan.
Not only did she give the goods, but she also gave the drawings.
Hmm … It was too worth it.
Gu Shishi was not worried at all.
Moreover, she felt that this toner was quite good.
The rich ladies and madams all felt that it was good. Her price of 300 yuan per 100ml bottle was not expensive at all.
Everyone also bought some of Master Xia's newly developed oil control facial cleanser and refreshing lotion products according to the toner formula. The sales would not be too bad.
Even if it was not possible for the time being, she was confident in the future.
Gu Shishi was calm and did not panic.
She had done what she needed to do. Now, she just had to be relaxed.
She had no regrets. When it was time to check the results, she just had to be calm.
Director Liu's mentality was not good. He had to practice.
Gu Shishi comforted him. "There will be 618 orders next year. If you are worried, you can come up with a plan first."
Liu Zhichao: "… Okay!"
It was good to divert his attention.
But Gu Shishi was still a reliable boss. She couldn't bear to make him anxious and end up with nothing.
Besides, she also had to be responsible for the big boss's investment.
Therefore, she didn't have any psychological burden to beat around the bush from some people.
Then, she sent her painting and other photos to Grandma Chen, Chen Kexin, and the others. She also sent them to the ink painting group.
[Double 12 works. If you are interested, you can participate in the activity.]
[Free gift.]
Chen Kexin had already heard about it, but he didn't see the sample. He didn't have time to reply.
Grandma Chen was the first to move. "What's this? This link … Keke, download an app for me. It will be free if I buy the most? Eh, this emperor is applying toner before morning court? Haha! "
Chen Kexin: "… There's also the Empress's facial cleanser."
"Hmm? This looks good too. Eh, this court lady is applying flowers to the mirror — it's a facial mask … Also, the knight is applying sunscreen before getting on the horse? This is too funny! "
Grandma Chen suddenly laughed.
"Is this product really made by Shishi? Keke, can you help me get the next order? And the prize … "
Chen Kexin scratched his head. "Okay."
She had one set for herself, one set for her grandmother, one set for her mother.
Cousins, cousins, cousins, uncles and aunts … If they all placed orders, would they be able to get the top prize?
"Let's create two accounts. Keke, let your mother place an order too. Can we get two prizes?"
Grandma Chen used her presbyopia eyes to look at the activity rules.
Chen Kexin: "!"
Her grandmother was awesome. She even knew how to pay orders!
Meanwhile, the people from the Ink Painting Association were also stunned by the paintings in the group.
One by one, they were shocked out of the water.
[Huang Chuan: Ink and Wash, the Elder Ancestor's coffin can't be closed anymore …]
Lei: Quite interesting. It explores the development possibilities of modern ink painting and how to integrate it into the lives of the people. It's meaningful.
Old Shao: There were court ladies in the Qing Dynasty who served the empress dowager. How's the effect of this facial mask? I'm about to choose a gift for my old wife. This is quite interesting.
Huang Chuan: I think this court lady hairpin painting is the most elegant and profound. Have you ever copied the works of famous artists before?]
Ben 8: This is an emperor's hanging painting. Young friend, are you willing to let us have it? Can we only give it as a gift when we buy it? Can we exchange a painting for a painting?
Gu Shishi took some time to look at the conversation and smiled bitterly.
She just wanted them to admire her recent masterpiece. This group of old men was not her target audience.
Ink painting: I just want to ask for your comments. I feel that recently, when I pick up the brush to paint, I've never felt so smooth. Long distance, close up, and characters have a sense of mastery. The characters are also more vivid.
Everyone did not know whether to laugh or cry.
How could it not be vivid?
She could even use facial masks and facial cleansers!
But when she said that, the people in the group indeed turned from the content of the painting to the study of the strokes.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that her brushwork had indeed improved!
The characters were more vivid.
Both long distance and close up scenes were not as flashy and deliberate as before. It gave them a sense of harmony and naturalness as if it had always been there.
It was indeed a masterpiece!
Huang Chuan: Can we use this original art to communicate?
Of course not.
Gu Shishi wiped her sweat.
But after Huang Chuan said that, he realized that he had asked an unrealistic question.
Don't tell her that it had other uses.
Moreover, when the Ink Painting Association communicated with a bunch of serious landscape paintings, flowers, birds, and characters … Suddenly, there was an ancient person who used facial cleansers … How were they going to judge this?
Headache.
Huang Chuan immediately retracted his previous message.
He sent a new one.
Ink painting: There's a calligraphy exhibition in the city next week. Do you have any new works to show?
Gu Shishi really did not have any.
Many people practiced brushwork, but they just painted whatever they wanted.
[Can I borrow the picture of 'taking your wife on an outing' from last time? It's only on display for two weekends. It's framed and will be returned undamaged.
Gu Shishi was stunned. She did not even type and went straight to voice.
"President Huang, didn't I leave that painting to you?"
Huang Chuan: "… No."
Everyone in the association: "… No."
Only then did Gu Shishi realize that the moment she left, the big shot bought the painting.
A donation of 50 million yuan.
Gu Shishi was so shocked that the pen in her hand dropped.
Squandering!
This squandering man!
She could only tell President Huang that she would go and ask around.
She really did not know where the big shot kept the painting.
He bought it because it was her work?
He was going to collect it all?
Oh my god.
So cool ~
Gu Shishi immediately clutched her heart.
A second later, she reached out with her other hand to cover the activity poster of [Flowery] Promotion.
She could not let the prodigal see it.
Absolutely not.
