Chapter 139: Company
The table was silent again, but Sage could see the questioning looks. He quickly continued to keep from losing momentum.
I know theres bound to be plenty of questions. Dont worry, Im not trying to make you all into silent investors and let you worry about whether or not youll ever get your money back let alone make a profit. Were far too good of friends for that.
Geng He actually let out an audible sigh and relaxed somewhat. It seems he had been tense about not wanting to let his friend down. Wan Yuhan started to laugh, Good, good! I was worried you needed money, this Big Brother just spent all his money on a new beast!
Qiu Hou slapped his back, Wow, what a man! Boasting about being broke. I wish I could be that brave!
Sage nearly snorted to keep his laughter in, but Yuan Hu didnt care and just broke into raucous laughter. Slapping his thigh and clapping his hands. Wan Yuhan realized what hed said and looked annoyed for one second before he also started laughing. The whole group broke into chuckles for a while before they all calmed down again.Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.
Were not here to beg for money. We want you all to join the company. I invented some magical devices and had some business ideas. Wan Ling has helped me refine the ideas and is managing the business side of things. Were opening branches in many cities already. The problem is that I want to go into seclusion. Im worried that Wan Ling will run into problems and I wont be able to help.
Sage let his worry show on his face and looked to each of his friends, For this reason I thought this would be a good solution. I can gain more support, and also give benefits to my closest friends!
Even in this world, women quite enjoyed cosmetics and Sage knew of far more of them than existed here. Geng He was a Doctor and an Alchemist, a combination that let him diagnose problems and create his own prescriptions. Sage called upon his help to start developing some cosmetic products. While he didnt know much about chemistry or the makeup industry and their creations, Sage at least caught a few tidbits. From what he saw, most of the ladies used powder, eyebrow darkening, lipstick and nail painting. Sage gave Geng He ideas on how to create a concealer or foundation, along with coloring the standard powder they already used. A concealer could be made by just adding powder to beeswax, cocoa butter, or other similar materials. The colored powders could be used to create eyeshadow or blush and they could use the Palace of Prosperity to introduce their products to the populace.
Wan Ling was skeptical, wondering who would want to color their face entirely pink, blue or purple. It was only after a few were created and Sage directed her to add just a tint of different colors to her eyelids that she changed her tune. He had no idea what sorts of styles would crop up, and there was no doubt that others would copy their idea, but it could cause a boost in popularity at least for a short while.
Sage spent the next few weeks in the Smithy, creating the dozens of devices that would be needed to open the Palace of Prosperity in a dozen more locations. They were all quite simple and inexpensive, in fact the most expensive part of them were the arrays that would make them self destruct if they were tampered with. While he was at it, Sage experimented on a few more money making ideas. What he knew about makeup was limited, but he knew of a few devices that women loved. Hair curlers and hair dryers. For these two devices he didnt bother with concealing arrays, they were just too simple. The hair curler only required a single heating array and a single spirit stone mounted on the handle.
The hair dryer ended up a little more expensive than he wanted. At first, he thought of using different sorts of bellows and fan type systems to move heated air, but eventually he gave up. In the end he realized that the mundane technology of this sort was really lacking and it was actually easier to just create a small tornado creating array and add heat to it. The plan to create a hand-held blow dryer turned into the salon style hair dresser mounted to the back of a chair.
Eh, not like it matters to me. Still works!
He made detailed designs of all the unique devices and prepared them for later. Once the company was a little more popular he planned on bringing them to the Holy Flame Sect to shop out the low level labor. He also thought of having them practice their skills on bricks, which could then be used to create walls, but the Blacksmithing apprentices were far more focused on practicing their forging skills more than they practiced their array inscribing. That was also the reason why Sage was only a Rank 1 Blacksmith, they needed to shape and forge high level materials far more than they needed to inscribe arrays. If they needed an unusual array they could always hire a Formation Master to assist them, the Smith was mainly needed to do the forging.
I can finally go into seclusion again!
