CHAPTER XXXVIII
At this moment, the shopkeeper came to report: "The boss of Yujin Yuan is here." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Helian rushed in and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Song Chunniang, but he quickly returned to his normal expression and greeted with a smile: "Miss Song hasn't seen her for a long time." On the day of the competition, I said goodbye to the government in a hurry, and I don't know what happened to you. ”
"It's good, but it's been a few days at home. What about Helian Gongzi? I heard that Yujinyuan's business is less, and I want to make a special trip to apologize for bore. ”
"Miss Song is serious, the rumors of that day are purely windless and waves, no wonder no one. I also borrowed these few days of leisure, I went to the capital again, and found out that we sent a princess from the Western Regions who was deeply loved by the emperor of the dynasty, and now the capital has risen the Western Regions costumes, and I borrowed a familiar ready-to-wear store in the capital to sell some goods, which are very popular, and I quickly came back to work overtime to stock up and then sent them to the capital. Isn't this just your way to the fabric? ”
Doing business in the capital so quickly, Helian Chong's timing was really good.
"It's not easy to do business in the capital, congratulations to Prince Helian." Song Chunniang sincerely congratulated, "However, what are you going to do with Yujinyuan?" Or just leave it at that? ”
"The best way to deal with rumours that are clearly false is to ignore them. I believe that it will not be long before the rumors dissipate and the business of Yujin Yuan will return to normal. Helian Chong said confidently and with concern, "Song Jiabuzhuang has also been affected to some extent, right?" What should the eldest lady do? ”
"Well, there are a lot of returns, and a lot of business is also yellow." Song Chunniang did not shy away from saying, "Shopkeeper Zhang and I are trying to find a way to solve it." ”
Helian Chong pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the eldest lady know how the business of the Meizhou An family is?" ”
Song Chunniang had just lifted the grounding, and before she could inquire about all aspects of the situation, she turned her head to look at Zhang De, "Does Shopkeeper Zhang know?" ”
"Lord Zhou came forward, and the An family was punished by the Meizhou government, although they were spared from prison, but they were fined a lot of silver, which hurt their vitality, and their reputation was greatly damaged, so it was no longer a climate. Now I'm busy taking care of the shop and sending the old servant. Zhang De was busy telling everything he had learned.
"Can someone take over the shop and the old servants that settle down to deal with?" Helian Chong asked again.
"Although the scale of Anjia is not as good as ours, it is also one of the best cloth villages in Meizhou, and their family disposes of the store, and other small cloth villages cannot be digested one by one, and there are only one or two listed for inventory, and the rest are still for sale. As for the old servants, except for a very few who were accepted, the others were sent away. ”
"Miss Song, I suggest that the Song family Buzhuang take action and take care of the An family's shop and the old servants. Putting on a high-profile mess to receive the An family not only buys people's hearts, but also creates good public opinion. What do you think? ”
The biggest trouble for the Song family at present is public opinion and image, the image damaged by the settlement of the family, and then established from the settlement family, it can be said that it is a success and a failure.
Helian Chong's method is really a desperate way to survive.
"What Gongzi Helian said is reasonable," Song Chunniang couldn't help but praise, "It's just that our Song family Buzhuang originally planned to open a branch in Meizhou, but we couldn't open up the situation, so it was over." Even if the settled store is closed, it will be a problem to operate in the future. ”
Helian Chong thought for a while and suggested: "Back to the old question, does Song Jiabuzhuang want to cooperate more deeply with Yujinyuan?" Together, we opened a store in Meizhou where cloth and ready-to-wear coexist, from the selection of fabrics to the production of ready-to-wear one-stop service, coupled with our characteristic clothing styles, it must be popular in Meizhou, which has been confirmed before. ”
Helian Chong's first pot of gold was earned in Meizhou, and Yujinyuan's clothing is bound to be popular in Meizhou. This proposal is a foolproof approach. From a businessman's point of view, there must be a reason why such a good cake can share a piece of the pie with others.
Out of prudence, Song Chunniang asked: "Prince Helian, Yujinyuan can open a branch in Meizhou alone, why do you still want to cooperate with us?" ”
"What if I say it's because of you, Miss Song?" Helian Chong still had his usual smile, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
Song Chunniang was stunned by Helian Chong's answer, and her mind couldn't turn when she was talking about business for the first time, "What do you mean?" ”
"I think we fit well and can work together more in business."
It turned out that he was just a business partner...... This answer is expected, but no, Song Chunniang is a little lost.
Helian Chong saw the loneliness that flashed in Song Chunniang's eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course, I also want to take this opportunity to have more contact with you." Rumors say that we have a lot of relationship, so let's get closer to be worthy of the rumor-mongers? ”
"Helian Gongzi said it was a rumor, where is it true." Song Chunniang's mind was confused, and she didn't know what she was talking about.
Helian raised his eyebrows, and his thin lips were a little narrow, "That's not true, sometimes the rumors are hidden in the truth of the facts, but the person concerned didn't notice it, but a third party saw it, don't you say?" Chun Niang? ”
Song Chunniang had a big alarm bell in her head, this Helian Chong is worthy of being from the Western Regions, he speaks and does things so directly, when he says this, is he confessing to himself? It was also directly called Chunniang. God, that's getting too fast......
Song Chunniang couldn't react, and she didn't know what to say.
And even more embarrassing than her is Zhang Deda's shopkeeper. I never expected to meet someone confessing to my eldest lady in this situation, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
Fortunately, two guests came immediately, relieving the embarrassment in front of them.
The people who came were Yang Jian and Meng Tan. The two didn't expect Helian Chong to be here, and after seeing each other, Helian Chong said to Song Chunniang: "Chunniang, since Yang Gongzi and Meng Gongzi have something to ask, I won't bother." After that, he was about to say goodbye and leave.
"Brother Helian, please stay, I want to ask not only Miss Song for this question, but also you, just because you are here, I will ask you for advice as well. I don't know if Brother Helian is convenient or not? Yang also kept his words.
Helian Chong was not in a hurry, so he stayed.
The question Yang Jian asked was about the water chestnut, a plant produced in Meizhou recorded in a miscellaneous book, which was sometimes collected by the locals to make thread cloth and made into clothing. However, this cloth is coarse, not breathable, and is not used much. However, Meizhou is rich in this thing, and the locals want to reclaim the cultivated land, and they have to work hard to pull out the water chestnuts and burn them. For the people of Meizhou, this plant is like chicken ribs, made into clothes for their own use, it is not suitable to sell, and it is time-consuming and laborious to clean up other crops.
What Yang Jian thinks about is whether there is a way to improve the material made of this plant and make use of it, so that the income level of Meizhou people can be improved, and a lot of effort can be saved.
Regarding the plant that Yang Jian said, Song Chunniang had also heard about it, and as early as a few years ago, when Song Jiabuzhuang wanted to enter Meizhou, she considered whether to use it. It's a pity that I tried a few methods and didn't improve, so it didn't work.
Yang Jian mentioned it again, and Song Chunniang also told the truth and honestly informed the results of her own cloth village attempt.
Yang Jian was not surprised by Song Chunniang's answer, he could think of making more use of it, how could Song Jiabuzhuang, as an industry leader, not think of it? However, even if he came to ask for advice, Yang Jian wanted to convey more than these, "Miss Song, I was fortunate to see an ancient book, which talked about the characteristics of some plants, including water chestnuts, I carefully studied what was said in the book, and personally went to Meizhou to understand on the spot, and found that in the process of making yarn, it can be appropriately filled with crops that are mutually restrained, which may improve the material of the yarn." ”
"Oh?" Song Chunniang didn't expect that Yang Jian had already tried it, and it seemed to have a good effect, "What kind of crop did Yang Gongzi add?" ”
"It's similar to the juice of the fruit, peony and the like, but the yarn made in this way has other problems, the color is very uneven, and there is no other color, and the material made is not good-looking."
"I don't know if Yang Gongzi can have a cloth with water chestnut?"
"Yes." Yang Jian took out a small piece of cloth from his coat pocket, "This is the last time I went to Meizhou, I found someone to make it." ”
Song Chunniang took it and took a look, it was indeed uneven, the background color was uneven, and there were deep or shallow fine lines, which seemed to be out of color, but the fabric felt soft and delicate to the touch, more than many times better than before.
"The uneven color may be due to the uneven adhesion of the juice when soaking the water chestnut, and it may be improved if the juice can be stirred frequently during soaking, or if the surface layer of the water chestnut is brushed with a brush after soaking."
The Song family has its own weaving workshop, and Song Chunniang has some understanding of the production process of fabrics.
"I have tried all the methods mentioned by Miss Song, but unfortunately the effect is not good. This cloth is already the most effective after trying many methods. ”
"I'm also a layman when it comes to weaving. If Yang Gongzi doesn't mind, I can take this piece of cloth to the weaving workshop at home and ask the workers to help take a look. ”
"That couldn't be better." Yang Jian sincerely thanks.
