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?"
