Chapter 248 - 167 Liancourt_3
The small workshop was named "Liancourt" Perfumer Workshop, and the cosmetic brand it produced was also called "Liancourt." The workshop was positioned to produce mid-to-high-end products, with the production of other inferior products discontinued. Currently, only the Clear Lotus Scented Rouge was being produced, the raw materials for which were still sourced from deep within the mountains and sold at a high price after packaging.
They were simply waiting for the following year, when the golden lotus seeds they had planted would grow into golden lotuses, which would then be used as raw materials to create even more top-tier cosmetics. The golden lotuses were much more vibrant than the ones available on the market, and their color tended to be more orange. However, since ghosts have no sense of smell, Qian Yixiu had no idea what the scent of the golden lotus would be like.
At the same time, work had begun on the technical renovation of the "Liancourt" Perfumer Workshop, acquiring production equipment, expanding the production site, and improving the production environment. These were all costly ventures, but Qian Sangui had the boldness to instruct that if the money needed to be spent, it would be spent.
The third line of business was cooperating with the Armed Escort Bureau on certain operations, and they had just begun negotiations.
The business scope of Jinxiu Embroidery Workshop was quite broad, with its main operations being tea, lotus roots, and cosmetics, while its side business included all money-making ventures.
Qian Sangui served as the chairman, Qian Hua as the general manager, Cai He as the accountant, and Qian Yixiu was supposedly an observer, but in reality, acted as the creative director. After the board meeting concluded, it fell to Qian Hua to oversee the implementation of everything.
Qian Hua was indeed a talent; he could fully grasp the master’s vision and implemented it excellently. Sometimes Qian Yixiu had thoughts that weren’t good to express too explicitly, so she would mention half and withhold half, then pretend to be "a little confused" and seek Qian Hua’s explanation, thereby communicating what she intended to convey.
Qian Hua had always known the young master was precocious, but after getting to know him more deeply, he was surprised to find that the young master was not only precocious but also had quite unusual and quirky ideas that were, nevertheless, absolutely practical.
In order to commend Qian Hua and to ensure his continued enthusiasm for his work, he was given a raise, and Lady Wei and Qian Xiaofeng were both transferred to the county town. Qian Xiaolei became Qian Yijin’s personal page and began to attend a private school, formally moving into the east wing of the courtyard. Qian Xiaoyu also became Cheng Yue’s head maid and embroidery assistant and was betrothed to Huang Tie, awaiting only the appropriate age to marry.
Because this period was especially busy, Qian Sangui spent most of his time living in the mansion in the county town. And since his young mother couldn’t be separated from Qian Yixiu, Qian Yixiu would occasionally visit the county town but always had to rush back home by the afternoon.
Before long, it was the tenth day of the eighth month, and Qian Sangui returned from the county town with a spring in his step, bringing with him two officials from the County Government Office. They had come to survey the land. As soon as Wang Lizheng heard the news, he hurriedly came to assist the officials.
