Wow...
Many people couldn't wait and left to look for other dream towers...
...
Some people continued to wait in line.
They didn't know the location of the other buildings, but instead waited here, thinking that it would be their turn next time, and they could also continue to ask about the situation during this time:
"Excuse me, what's that heroic-looking beauty's makeup like? An ancient female knight..."
"No! That's a general's uniform, the first female general of the Ming Dynasty, the makeup of Qin Liangyu of the Ming Dynasty..."
: "Husband, do you want to draw one too..."
: "What should I draw?"
: "It's better to take pictures together..."
"What's so good about drawing a boy? He looks like a sissy when he wears this kind of ancient costume..."
Many boys agreed.
I have to say that this kind of ancient costume generally looks good on girls after putting on makeup, but it generally looks a bit weird on boys, or a bit feminine. Only some guys with very good looks can look good, so no matter how the girls persuade them, they are not very attractive to them.
But some girls started to threaten:
"You don't want to draw, right? Well, don't even think about entering my room today. You can sleep outside..."
: "I am from Shudao Mountain..."
"Hou Mingtao... do you believe it or not..."
Many boys can only choose to queue up to join.
This results in more people queuing...
.....
Gu Chuan: ∑(O_O;)
Ye Ze: ∑(;°Д°)
no?
Is this even possible? Even putting on makeup can be so popular...
Although it was a little hard to believe, the facts were right in front of them and they had no choice but to believe it.
Ye Ze: Is this makeup really that good-looking? Why don't I think so... Yumo, you said this thing is really that attractive... Yumo, where are you? Damn! I'm also queuing up..."
Just see.
Yumo also joined the makeup queue.
Ye Ze: (͡°ᴥ ͡° ʋ)
You really... slapped me in the face! But seeing Yumo's expectant eyes, what could he do but to queue up with her and put on makeup at Yumo's request.
.....
Assistant: "Mr. Gu, it seems this is how this city makes money, putting on makeup? It's a bit of a fuss... Mr. Gu, where are you going, Mr. Gu... Gu... Why are you lining up too..."
Gu Chuan first looked at Qin Liangyu's military uniform with great yearning, then said to the assistant: "Do you think makeup is just a small trick..."
Assistant: "Just putting on makeup..."
An hour later.
Gu Chuan, his assistant, Ye Ze, and Yu Mo all followed the third group of people out after finishing their makeup.
now.
Yumo looked excited.
Gu Chuan, Ye Ze and the assistant had complicated expressions on their faces. They had just experienced this whole process themselves and felt that this dressing room was even more terrifying. From choosing clothes to the makeup artists to applying makeup, it was like an assembly line operation, fast, accurate and ruthless.
main:
The whole process was friendly and there were no hidden consumer traps, giving people a very comfortable experience.
Moreover, although the makeup produced by this assembly line operation cannot be very impressive, it is basically not bad.
For most customers, that's enough...
...
Gu Chuan: "Do you still think this makeup shop is simple..."
The assistant said nothing.
Is it simple?
It's not easy! It's not easy at all!
This kind of standardized makeup and standardized selection of ancient clothing, which have never appeared before, seem very simple, but it is actually very difficult to achieve.
Gu Chuan: "Have you noticed the average price per customer for makeup..."
Assistant: "The price of makeup products ranges from 99 to 299. 99 and 199 account for a significant number, and there are also quite a few 299. The overall average customer price is around 180. This doesn't include the photographer's fee. Many people need to have their photos retouched by a photographer, and each one is not cheap. Although not many people require a photographer to accompany them, the overall average customer price has increased, sometimes to 200."
Gu Chuan: "There are about 30 customers who just came in to get their makeup done with us. The total makeup time is more than half an hour. If we do three waves of makeup in two hours, and only do it for ten hours a day, that means 15 waves of customers, that is, nearly 500 people, 200 yuan per person, and the total revenue is 100,000 yuan. The cost of renting clothes can be basically ignored, and the labor cost can only account for about 40% at most. Excluding other miscellaneous costs, the net profit is at least 50%!"
"And there are eighteen such makeup shops in the Northern Territory, with a total revenue of 1.8 million!"
Single store revenue: 100,000!
Head office revenue: 1.8 million!
A lot? A lot! Even if there's some skewed data here—it's impossible for every store to be completely packed, and even if they were, it wouldn't have lasted for ten hours—a million in total revenue is still within reach given the current popularity.
One million in a single day!
Monthly revenue of 30 million!
Annual revenue exceeds 300 million!
Even if we remove some of the water from this, the annual revenue can still be at least 200 million.
Two hundred million in revenue!
Half the net profit!
The most important thing is that this is just the tip of the iceberg in the North. They have just discovered their first profitable project, and they already have a terrifying revenue potential of over 200 million...
This moment:
Gu Chuan and Ye Ze were silent!
Gu Chuan: "Qin Jiang...I really underestimated you. Your city is really extraordinary."
Ye Ze: "Compared to you, my ice and snow projects are just playing house..."
At the same time, they found a more interesting phenomenon, that is, the young ladies in ancient costumes who were selling cosmetics would never step out of the range within a hundred meters of the cosmetics building, and they would not even shout at people passing by. Only people who came into this range would be sold to, and they were all very restrained in their sales. As long as you didn't talk to them, they wouldn't say anything more and would politely sell to the next person. It seemed that they would miss out on a lot of customers, but it actually gave people a very comfortable distance!
Distance creates beauty!
Distance makes people comfortable!
Those people selling cosmetics seemed to be isolated by a barrier, and it seemed that it was still useless. But when Gu Chuan and Ye Ze left the area within the makeup building, they listened to the other hawking and noises around them, and suddenly felt that this city was more real...
.......
Then everyone couldn't wait to move forward, wanting to see what other money-making projects this city had.
Along the way: Although the vendors were shouting their wares, they were very restrained in soliciting customers, which made the experience more enjoyable....
They saw various interesting fixed attractions:
[Xie Jin, imprisoned and waiting to be fed but very talkative]
[On the main artificial river: Flying Phoenix Show]
[Wandering Painter Tang Bohu…]
........
And the random sights interspersed among the crowds:
[Constable escorting a prisoner]
[A young lady in ancient costume holding a silver note and hammering a passerby]
