Return to the Tang Dynasty to be a villain

Chapter 49: Earning 100,000 Coins a Day

That’s right, Zhang Yizhi’s answer not only surprised Li Lingyue, but also confused the noble ladies who were enjoying the services of the other guys at the moment.

"Your Highness," Zhang Yizhi said as he washed Li Lingyue's face with soap, a faint smile on his face. "We only give away these goods, not sell them."

"Send?" Wu Xiuli, the youngest among the girls, immediately became interested, and stared at the glass boxes on the table with sparkling eyes.

"Then I want all of these. Please send someone to deliver them to the princess's residence later."

"Your Highness," Zhang Yizhi turned around and shook his head with a smile after hearing Wu Xiuli's words, "That won't do."

"Why?" Wu Xiuli's face suddenly darkened. She pouted and looked at the perfume bottle in her hand reluctantly. "Mr. Zhang, didn't you say these were gifts?"

Zhang Yizhi looked at Wu Xiuli's depressed expression, turned around and saw that the women in the training room all had puzzled expressions on their faces.

Turning around, he called in Li Linfu, who had been waiting outside the door with a stack of contracts in his hands.

Li Linfu didn't say anything more. He picked up a piece of paper in his hand and started reading. This was the business model formulated by Qin Yi.

"What does membership mean?" Wu Xiuli looked at Li Linfu with curiosity.

Li Linfu had no choice but to follow the rhetoric Qin Yi had given him before and explain the membership system to the women who also looked puzzled.

“We at Shiseido can be considered a big family, and our members are like family members.”

"As long as you become a member, you can enjoy the treatment of our Shiseido family."

"So that's how it is. How can I become a member?"

The gold medal supporting actress Wu Xiuli continued to ask questions. She really liked Shiseido's products, so her attitude was the most positive.

After listening to Li Linfu's narration, everyone understood the criteria for becoming a member of Zichengtang.

Simply put, it means paying money.

Qin Yi divided the membership levels into five categories: bronze, silver, gold, gem and star.

That’s right, it was copied from the levels in Honor of Kings. The only difference was that there were no diamonds in this era, so he changed it to gems.

Bronze members pay an annual membership fee of one string of cash, and can receive a set of Hua Xiangrong, Lu Ningxiang and Xi Ningzhi sets within one year.

Silver members pay an annual membership fee of ten strings of cash and can receive a set of products every month. At the same time, if Shiseido releases a new product, they can receive one first and are eligible to develop bronze members.

According to the rules set by Qin Yi, they can get 50% of the membership income for every bronze member they develop.

Gold members pay an annual membership fee of one hundred coins and can receive two sets of products every month. When Shiseido releases new products, they can receive two pieces first in order to develop silver members.

If the silver members they develop develop bronze members, in addition to the 50% of the profits left by the silver members, they can also draw 50% of the distribution.

The annual membership fee paid by Gem members is one thousand coins. They can receive five sets of products every month and can receive five new products from Shiseido first. They are also eligible to develop members below the gold level.

The annual membership fee paid by Star members is 10,000 strings of cash. They can receive ten sets of service kits every month, have priority to receive ten new products from Shiseido, and can develop members below the gem level.

"Ten thousand strings of cash a year?" Wu Xiuli couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

Although she was a princess, her annual salary and official land income was only a few thousand strings of cash.

When she thought about spending ten thousand strings of cash a year on such a small amount of things, she couldn't help but be shocked.

At the same time, the training classroom fell into silence.

Li Lingyue and others looked at each other, not quite understanding what Li Linfu meant.

Zhang Yizhi and Li Linfu knew that they needed to let these ladies digest the situation, so they stood aside silently.

After a long silence, Li Lingyue raised her head and looked at Li Linfu.

"Sir, if you become a Star Glory member, you can get a share of the profits no matter how many people you introduce to Shiseido?"

"That's right," Li Linfu nodded, then corrected Li Lingyue, "Your Highness, at Shiseido, people like us are called training instructors, or instructors for short."

Li Lingyue was good at calculating after all. After careful consideration, she immediately figured out the key.

Although becoming a Star Glory member requires an annual fee of 10,000 strings of cash, she can earn it back by recruiting 20 Gem members.

If each Gem member develops ten Gold members, each Gold member develops ten Silver members, and each Silver member develops ten Bronze members, then she will have 200 Gold members, 2,000 Silver members, and 20,000 Bronze members under her command.

By this calculation, she can get at least tens of thousands of coins in profit every year, which is simply a profitable business.

Li Lingyue is very confident that she can develop 20 gem members.

With her current connections in Chang'an, it is not difficult to find someone who can contribute 1,000 strings of cash every month.

More than ten people, including Crown Princess Dou, Princess Liang, Princess Wei, etc., shared the same idea as Li Lingyue.

They were able to stand firm in the position of mistress of the house in such a complicated environment. Each of them had an extraordinary mind. After a simple calculation, they understood the trick.

Therefore, among the 35 noble ladies who attended Shiseido's opening ceremony today, Li Lingyue and 12 others became Star members.

Another twenty people purchased gem memberships. Even Wu Xiuli and a few others who had no other income and could only live on their salaries became gold members.

At the same time, Zhang Yizhi also promised the girls that he would hold a training session every week in the future. They could bring their familiar sisters to participate and help these members develop new members.

After the women signed the contract with Shiseido, they left one after another and hurried home to prepare money.

After the training classroom was empty, Qin Yi slowly walked out from the back of the classroom.

Zhang Yizhi, Zhang Changzong, Li Linfu and others were sorting out the membership contracts. When they looked up and saw Qin Yi, they all smiled excitedly.

"Da Lang," Zhang Yizhi said, smiling broadly as he approached Qin Yi. "Today we've earned 140,000 strings of cash. This business is just as you said, a bonanza of wealth!"

Qin Yi's robe was now soaked as if it had been washed with water.

When he was standing outside the door just now, looking at the situation inside, his heart felt as nervous as if someone was holding it.

After all, he was not sure whether today's event would succeed. Before Qin Yi traveled through time, those who were engaged in pyramid schemes had spent many years laying the groundwork before finally becoming successful.

Therefore, Qin Yi had no idea whether this method would work 1,300 years ago.

Seeing the women finally sign the contract, he felt relieved.

"Don't be too proud yet," Qin Yi rolled his eyes at Zhang Yizhi in annoyance. "As the saying goes, it's better to be at peace when the money is in your pocket. Don't be too anxious to be happy before the money arrives."

Shiseido was just outside the Suzaku Gate, not far from the residences of these noble ladies. Not long after, the sound of a carriage was heard outside the window.

About two hours later, around the time of Xu, all the money from each family was finally collected.

He left 28,000 strings of cash as a reward to the Zhang brothers, and gave Zhang Yizhi another 20,000 strings of cash to reward his fellow servants. Qin Yi then sent someone to call Qin Zhong and bought two carriages from the carriage shop.

One was a cart for hauling goods, and the other was Qin Yi's own vehicle.

It has been nearly a month since he came to this era. As of today, Qin Yi finally lives a life with a house and a car.

All the money was brought back to the small courtyard in Dunhuafang, and then sent to the sheltered space under the city wall through a secret passage. Qin Yi's frightened heart, which had been suffering for more than a month, finally settled down.

After settling all this, he sent Gao Xianzhi to send a letter to find Wei Xian. With the money, he could finally start to develop.

Two hours later, the lights in Chang'an City began to light up, and Qin Yi had already arrived at Hua'e Tower.

As soon as she paid half a string of money, Aunt Yang was naturally overjoyed and led Qin Yi to a quiet box on the second floor.

After a while, Hua Niang led Wei Xian into the box. Before that, a pot of wine and a few side dishes were already placed on the table in front of Qin Yi.

"Mentor."

Wei Xian was also a bachelor, and as soon as he entered the box, he bowed to Qin Yi generously.

Qin Yi picked up the wine jug, poured a glass of wine and brought it to Wei Xian.

"Master Wei, you're welcome. I invited you here today to ask you something. Does the bet we made that day still stand?"

Half an hour later, Qin Yi and Wei Xian left Hua'e Tower separately, but their expressions were completely different.

Qin Yi was naturally calm and composed.

When Wei Xian left, his expression was complicated, a little dejected, but also a little excited.
