Chapter 966: Old Friends Meet (2)

At this time, people were proud of holding a steady job, and they had no interest in starting businesses. Those who had their own businesses were known as entrepreneurs.

In that era, entrepreneurs were very much looked down on.

Those who had steady salaries had higher status and commanded more respect. They never made a fortune, but they had a steady stream of income, although it was low. They could never afford such expensive cosmetics.

To Qin Si and Qin Nian, who were rich young ladies accustomed to overseas life, such prices were nothing. But they had been back in China for some time, and they understood local pricing. So they were also shocked by Gu Qingyao’s prices.

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Yes, that’s the price. I’m not going to mass market it. The quality is also not meant for the mass market. The current production volume is too low.”

Ji Mingyue said incredulously, “Will anyone buy it at this price?”

Gu Qingyao said, “Don’t worry. As long as the product is good enough, it will certainly sell. Things are different now. The various wealthy families are growing, and their income has increased. They can afford it.”

Ji Mingyue immediately fell silent.

Because she knew that Gu Qingyao was right.

The Ji family did not have much wealth. As a family that had recently risen, it did not have much money at all. Among her own brothers, her oldest brother, Ji Mingzhe, was the richest.

Because Mo Beihan had told him earlier to trade his resources for antiques on the black market. At that time, antiques, especially jewelry and gems were not worth anything.

But now that the market had opened up, the price of such things had slowly risen. Her older brother now used these items to give his wife and children a better life.

By contrast, her other brothers were living off their fixed salary.

If things were like that in the Ji family, what about the other wealthy families?

What about those families which had plenty of wealth?

Her older brother did not have many items, and he only took a few out now and then to supplement their household expenses. He could not bear to spend more.

But families with deep pockets could afford to spend carelessly.

The girls stayed at the Qiao house for some time. In the afternoon, Gu Qingyao cooked a few dishes and gave them a good meal before they went off happily.

Mo Beihan ate in Gu Qingyao’s little courtyard, but he continued to linger. He lounged in Gu Qingyao’s bed, flipping through a book.

When he saw Gu Qingyao enter, he smiled and patted the space next to him. “Do you want to nap?”

Gu Qingyao smiled, “No, I’m not tired! Let’s go out! I haven’t gone for a drive in a long time!”

Mo Beihan smiled. He got up and took her hand to leave.

They got into the car, and Mo Beihan drove. Gu Qingyao sat next to the driver’s seat. As they drove down the capital’s main streets and looked at the crowds and the low-rise houses, they could scarcely believe the prosperity of this place in twenty years’ time.

Gu Qingyao looked at the scenery outside her window and said dreamily, “I wonder how those people in the Qing River Brigade are doing. So many years have passed since I left.”

Mo Beihan drove with one hand and held her hand with the other. “Where would you like to go? I’m free for the next few days. Shall I bring you back for a look?”

Gu Qingyao thought about it and shook her head. “I wouldn’t know what to do if I went back! Grandfather and Grandma are here, and I don’t have any other family left in our home village. What would I do if I went back? But it’s still my old home.. I haven’t been back for so many years, and I miss it a little.”
