Dragon's Origin

Chapter 332: Comparative Experiment (Part 2)

As long as Wang Sheng had confidence, Mei'er had confidence. This came from Wang Sheng's almost invincible record in this area.

Sure enough, the results of the first few days of testing were very good, causing an uproar about Run Zi Fang exaggerating and plotting to suppress the industry. Suddenly, there was a turnaround.

On the sixth day, some pimples appeared on the face of a female slave. Fortunately, the other slaves in the experiment were doing well, and everyone thought it was just a coincidence.

However, on the seventh day, when eight female slaves had acne marks on their faces, and the first one to have acne had broken skin and spread over half of her face, everyone was speechless.

On the ninth day, the people who had been observing the ten female slaves no longer paid attention to whether their faces still had a whitening effect. All the female slaves' faces were red and swollen, and six of them had broken skin. Their entire faces were either red and swollen or pitted. Not to mention whitening, being able to maintain their original appearance was already a luxury.

On the tenth day, all the female slaves' faces turned into pitted old orange peel, with wrinkles, dullness, and dark spots appearing frequently. Redness and swelling would appear from time to time, and the scars left after the skin broke were extremely obvious.

There was no need to test anything further. This ten-day experiment had completely proved that the problematic cosmetics Run Zi Fang had mentioned were indeed problematic. The recall was simply too timely and showed sincerity.

If only the five slaves who used Run Zi Fang's cosmetics had developed this condition, everyone would have thought that Run Zi Fang had a good conscience and did not deceive everyone, making them trustworthy and worthy of being the preferred choice for future purchases.

However, the changes on the faces of the five female slaves who used traditional rouge were even more exaggerated than those who used Run Zi Fang's products. The first to have problems was the one who used traditional rouge, and the ones with the most rotten faces were also those from the traditional stores.

As soon as the results came out, the rumors of Run Zi Fang suppressing its competitors were thrown to the winds. Did Run Zi Fang even need to suppress them with such results? It was estimated that the old customers who heard the results would make their lives miserable. It should be known that some whitening products were sold at high prices to the wives and concubines of wealthy dignitaries. If these people came looking for them, they wouldn't be able to kneel and apologize enough every day.

The experiment ended, and the news spread like wildfire, causing an uproar throughout the kingdom. This was not limited to the capital city, but spread throughout all the principalities.

Run Zi Fang became famous in one fell swoop and became the industry benchmark, not just the largest cosmetics and beauty store in the capital. If Run Zi Fang said that a product needed to be recalled, then it must be a problematic product. If Run Zi Fang said that a product was not good, then it must be not good. If Run Zi Fang said that a raw material was not suitable, needless to say, anyone who was still running a business with that raw material would definitely lose money.

On the day the experiment ended, Run Zi Fang's turnover increased by 400%. The result frightened the female shopkeeper in charge of Run Zi Fang, and she quickly reported it to Mei'er and the other major shareholder, Empress.

After investigation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The result of the sharp increase in turnover was not because of anything else, but because a large number of customers from other places were buying, presumably wanting to bring them back to sell in various principalities, which led to a surge in sales.

"Should we open a few branches in the capitals of the various principalities?" Mei'er was so excited that she couldn't control herself after learning the results. Just the capital city alone was already so profitable. If they really opened stores in all the principalities across the country, what kind of profitable business would that be?

"Have you forgotten about Bao Qing Yu Tang's salt and sugar business?" Wang Sheng looked at Mei'er's cute and charming eyes filled with gold coins, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch her nose: "Do you want to repeat the same mistake?"

Was there anyone more familiar with Bao Qing Yu Tang than Mei'er? Bao Qing Yu Tang's salt and sugar business made 200 million gold coins in two years and was directly nationalized by the various principalities. Now Run Zi Fang could have hundreds of millions of net profits a year. If they really opened stores in various principalities, who knew how they would be swallowed alive.

After thinking about it, Mei'er finally gave up the idea of opening a branch. However, she now began to worry about the store in the capital. What if the royal family took action?

"Uncle Su is a member of the royal family, right?" Recalling the series of magical events before, Mei'er finally asked the question that she had always had.

"You just found out?" Wang Sheng looked at her with a look of disappointment. Mei'er was hopeless to be so slow.

"It's not that I just found out. I suspected it a long time ago, but I just didn't want to be sure." Mei'er was not stupid. She had noticed something was wrong a long time ago, but Wang Sheng had never said anything, so she had never asked. Now she finally couldn't help but ask.

"So, the capital city is the safest place." Wang Sheng didn't tell Mei'er the identities of the Emperor and Empress, but the identity of a member of the royal family could guarantee that there was basically nothing to worry about in the capital: "Actually, there is another advantage to this."

"What advantage?" Mei'er asked.

"That is, Run Zi Fang only has one store, the most authoritative store." Wang Sheng smiled and pointed out: "At any time, only the things from Run Zi Fang are the most authentic. Run Zi Fang can refuse to recognize anything bought from anywhere else. In this way, people from various principalities who want the best things might come to the capital. This can also be regarded as indirectly strengthening the position of the capital, and the Emperor will definitely be happy to see it happen, and Run Zi Fang's business will become more stable."

Mei'er nodded, acknowledging Wang Sheng's statement. Then she turned around and threw the idea of opening a branch out of her mind, and continued to happily hold up bottles of cosmetics for Wang Sheng to taste.

During this period, Mei'er was almost always with Wang Sheng. Without Mei'er deliberately seducing him, the two of them would sometimes reveal their true feelings while talking. Just like Wang Sheng's intimate scratch of Mei'er's nose just now, it was a natural and intimate action. This increasingly natural intimacy made Mei'er very happy.

While Wang Sheng was tasting the cosmetics, he was still paying attention to the giant cauldron in the Yuanhun space. The patterns on it were becoming more and more numerous.

...

Seventy percent.

Seventy-five percent.

Eighty percent.

...

One hundred percent.

When the patterns on the cauldron were all filled, like the three legs of the giant cauldron, the patterns on the cauldron began to flicker and flow, also turning into a colorful stream of light. Between the flickering lights, the outline of the cauldron even became a little uncertain, like a virtual giant cauldron.

Now, there were only two cauldron ears that had not been covered with patterns. The remaining cosmetics were enough to complete everything.
