25 Chapter XXV
The next day, Ansel slept and yawned lazily and came out of his bedroom to go downstairs when he happened to meet Ning Xuan, whose eyes were as red as rabbits, and was startled, "What's wrong with you?" β
Ning Xuan glanced at Ansel and shook his head, "It was too late to draw the drawings yesterday, I have already made breakfast, come and eat." Please remember the URL of this site: . β
Looking at Ning Xuan like this, Anse El couldn't help but think of the situation when his little guy took over the list of Erin's wedding dress, and suddenly a sense of crisis hit, and he followed closely behind Ning Xuan and poked Ning Xuan's back with his fingers, "Hey, I said my dear young man, you can't completely forget yourself as soon as you work, you know, it is also one of your jobs to be in charge of your beloved great boss's food, I will never accept that you let your boss starve for the sake of work!" β
Ning Xuan listened to his boss's righteous words, turned around and was just about to say something, but Aji, who had already gotten up and was accompanying Ning Xuan to make breakfast, also rushed over like a small cannonball, hugged Ning Xuan's leg and jumped, "That's it, Papa can't just work and ignore Aji, Aji doesn't accept it!" β
Looking at the rare united front, the corners of Ning Xuan's mouth twitched, and Anse El nodded vigorously before Ning Xuan could speak, "I completely agree with Aji's opinion!" β
Ning Xuan's head had a black line, "Can you understand what Aji is saying?" β
Anse El replied frankly, "I don't understand, but I think what it wants to say should be similar to what I said." β
"......" Facing the condemning eyes of one person and one dragon, Ning Xuan finally had to raise his hand in surrender, "Okay, okay, I know, I won't forget everything else as soon as I start doing things, I promise, really!" Seeing that the two of them still didn't believe each other, Ning Xuan had no choice but to add another oath, "If I violate, I will become a big fat man of three hundred pounds!" β
Anse El knew Ning Xuan's resentment about his weight, so he nodded with satisfaction, while Aji took advantage of the fire to rob, "If Papa violates it, you will buy me a hundred strings of bullet fish!" β
The corners of Ning Xuan's mouth twitched again, but in the face of Aji's expectant eyes, he had to nod with difficulty, "Okay...... Deal. β
"Wow! Have breakfast! With Ning Xuan's permission, Aji cheered, and then jumped to the wooden chair specially made for it by Ning Xuan, and sat down with the help of the elasticity of his tail, grabbed a piece of meat with his little paws, and ate it deliciously.
Ansel, on the other hand, walked to the coffee table in front of the chair and picked up a stack of parchment that Ning Xuan had placed there, and waited until he had flipped through them one by one before raising his eyes to look at Ning Xuan, "Is this all what you came up with?" β
Ning Xuan smiled embarrassedly, "I'm not that great, these are the styles of my hometown's high heels, I just drew everything I can think of." β
Anse El nodded, pulled out a few of them, and asked, "Can this also be called high heels?" β
"No...... In fact, high heels are just a description of the height of shoes, and there are also flat shoes and medium heels corresponding to them. Ning Xuan stepped forward and pointed to the drawings that Ansel took out separately and explained, "Like this kind of thin belt, suitable for summer wear, called sandals, and this kind of toe can be worn in all seasons, of course, wear less in winter, collectively known as single shoes, can be called round toe, pointed toe, square toe and fish mouth according to the shape of the toe toe, etc." In winter, ladies and ladies choose to wear boots, which are very high and calf or even higher......"
Ansel listened very carefully, until Ning Xuan finished his introduction, he also took the stack of drawings and looked at it for a while, then patted Ning Xuan's shoulder with a smile, "I said I found the treasure." Then he habitually pinched Ning Xuan's chin, "With this, my dear young man, you will soon become a very rich man." β
"Me? Rich? Ning Xuan was stunned for a moment.
"yes, rich man." Ansel tossed the parchment with a muffled sound, "With these drawings, you will have a wealth that will make others jealous, my dear young man, my best dresser, but there is no time when I will suffer in the business that Ansel is talking about." β
Ning Xuan listened in a daze, although he wanted to ask, but Anse El put down the drawing first and then hooked Ning Xuan's neck and walked towards the dining table, "But first, we need to fill in our belly, and other things will be talked about later." β
Crispy and yellowish rice crackers fried in egg mixture, a glass of Ning Xuan's hand-squeezed juice, a hard-boiled egg and a slice of bacon, Anse El felt that the first meal of the day was from his hair to his toes, so even if he had to go to see Watson later, it was not so unbearable.
After Aggie was full, he continued to become a sleeping dragon and went to Huhu, while Ansel took Ning Xuan out of the door, and when he was about to go out, Ansel held up a stack of parchment paper in his hand and asked Ning Xuan, "Which kind of high heels do you want to wear for the little daughter of the Field family?" β
Ning Xuan stepped forward and pulled out two of them and showed them to Ansel, "These two, but I haven't decided which pair of them to use." β
"Okay." Anse El glanced at it, then took the two separate pieces of parchment with his free hand, put the rest of the drawings aside, and then patted Ning Xuan, "Let's go." β
Ning Xuan looked at the stack of drawings left behind and asked puzzledly, "These...... Don't you have to bring them all? β
Ansel stretched out a finger and waved, "A successful businessman will never let the other party see all your hole cards in the first place. β
Doesn't that sound fashionable? That's right, because this is what Ansair realized when Ning Xuan was bored and made parchment cards to teach Ansel to play.
Ning Xuan, who is a female celebrity designer or something, feels that he can still speak, but in business, he is a super rookie, so Ansel said so, and Ning Xuan no longer expressed his opinion, and obediently followed Ansel.
On the way, Ning Xuan wanted to speak several times, but finally Ansel stopped and turned to look at Ning Xuan, "My dear young man, what kind of affectionate and touching words make you unable to say it even after mustering up the courage to do so?" I know that I am a very good man, so, you have to understand that because of my excellence, any compliment you have is appropriate for me. So, what are you going to say to me? β
"......" Ning Xuan, who originally had something to say, was a little dumbfounded at the moment, because he was not at all mentally prepared for his boss to suddenly make a long comment on himself to the extreme.
After waiting for a while, without waiting for Ning Xuan's voice, Anse El habitually scratched Ning Xuan's chin again, "My dear Ah Xuan, after so long days and nights, will you still be amazed and lose your mind when you see my outstanding face at first glance?" β
"......" The corners of Ning Xuan's mouth twitched fiercely twice, and then he stretched out his hand to probe Ansel's forehead, "Ansai, are you sick?" β
"......" This time it was Anse El who was silent, but soon this silence was also broken by Anse Elle, he grabbed Ning Xuan's hand and didn't let him touch his forehead, and then put the white soft hand to his mouth, stared at the owner of the hand viciously and said, "You're sick!" Say, What will you say to me? Or I'll bite! β
Ning Xuan was accustomed to Ansel's sunny and rainy convulsive character, and he understood very well the temperament of the other party to do what he said, so he smiled very gently, and while reaching out and patting Ansel comfortingly, he quickly said what he wanted to ask just now, "What I want to ask is that you said yesterday that there are certain industries in Fra City, and you and Watson share the world equally, do you mean that you and Watson dominate most of the business in Fla City, and your biggest opponent is Watson, isn't it?" β
Ning Xuan's cooperative attitude made Anse El very satisfied, he snorted and let go of Ning Xuan's hand and said as he walked, "Just such a little thing can still make you linger and stop talking for so long, you are really my unqualified little fellow." Dividing the world equally is literal, this business in Fra City, as long as it is to make money in business, I and Watson basically account for more than three of the ten, and the rest is someone else's. As for the opponents? Hmph, he's still worse than me. β
"So, the reason we're going to Watson now is because he's still in the shoe business?" Ning Xuan felt that Ansel's last sentence was actually a little wet, but he wisely didn't ask it and continued to ask the question he wanted to ask, "But, as you said, you and Watson Fra City each have more than three shares, and the rest belongs to someone else, so is he the only one who makes shoes in the entire Fla City?" Isn't anyone else in the industry? β
When Ning Xuan Zheng'er asked a question, Ansel's answer was always very patient, "Of course not, too domineering behavior can't last long, just like my clothing shop, I sell clothes and clothes, so other stores in Fura City don't sell clothes and clothes?" Of course not, but they only deal in inferior goods, and mine is the best in Fla City. And so is Watson. Why do we do our best? It's just because we have in our hands the methods and secrets of making the best products. They have their channels to make money, and we have channels for us to make money, and each one does not interfere with each other. Moreover, if you do business with the aristocracy, of course ordinary shoe shops can make the shoes you want, but their craftsmanship will certainly not be as good as Watson's. The aristocracy, on the other hand, seems to have a lot of money and can only scatter gold coins, but in terms of quality, they are the most shrewd except for connoisseurs. If you want to cut corners and perfunctory them, then, once in the end, you don't want to make the money of the nobility again. So remember, if you give the best you can, then the noble lords and ladies will not skimp on their gold coins, you know? β
"Hmm." Ning Xuan nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.
Anse El was very satisfied with Ning Xuan's attitude, and reached out to pinch Ning Xuan's earlobe, "So, stop asking stupid words, let's go." β
Although it seems that Ansel and Watson are incompatible, but it seems to confirm the saying, 'Your biggest opponent is also the person who knows you best', Ansel did not take Ning Xuan to the shop next door to the clothing store where Watson often stayed, but took him to a street where Ning Xuan had hardly been, and then familiarly pushed open the door of one of the shops that did not look good, and walked in.
Ning Xuan had just walked into the store, and before he had time to take a good look around, a familiar voice full of surprise sounded, "Ansai, why are you here?" β
Ning Xuan fixed his eyes, who was Watson, who was not as strong and burly as a brown bear? Subconsciously, Ning Xuan smiled politely at the other party.
It's a pity that at this time, Watson's eyes were full of the sudden arrival of Anse Air, and he didn't receive Ning Xuan's greeting at all, he walked quickly towards Anse Air, but stopped when he was about to reach Anse Air, looking a little surprised and at a loss, "Ansai, is there something you came to me for?" β
Ansel glanced at Watson coldly, then raised the parchment rolled up in his hand, "Let's talk to you about business, find a quiet place." β
"Well, okay, come back with me." Watson's joy was unaffected by Ansel's coldness, and he nodded and pointed to the room behind him without even thinking about it.
Anse El walked over without saying a word, and Ning Xuan, who followed later, greeted Watson again when he passed by, "Hello, Mr. Wilson." β
It was only at this time that Watson finally saw Ning Xuan's cunzΓ i, he nodded at Ning Xuan and said hello, and then inserted in front of Ning Xuan and followed Anse Air.
For Watson's indifference to himself, Ning Xuan said that he was accustomed to it, this attitude is fine, it is better than the beast eyes that wanted to tear himself apart every time he saw him before, although Ning Xuan didn't know how this change of attitude from disgust to ignorance to occasional hello happened, but things always go in a good direction, and the rest, whatever!
When the three of them sat down in a spacious and bright room, Watson just looked at Ansel gently and did not speak, and Ansel obviously did not buy Watson's iron man tenderness, threw the parchment in front of Watson, and said in a tone without ups and downs, "This, can it be made?" β
Watson picked up the parchment that Ansel had thrown over, gave him a cursory look of surprise on his face, and then asked, "The shoe...... It looks a little weird, and you can make it, but how do you wear it? β
It's no wonder that Watson is surprised, in this world, in addition to the shoes made of straw rope, the shoes that everyone wears when the weather is hot are flat sandals made of cowhide, the appearance of that kind of shoes is similar to modern gladiator shoes, and when the weather is colder, cloth shoes or boots are worn, like the shoes painted by Ning Xuan, which is really unseen.
Anse El raised his chin at Ning Xuan, "Ah Xuan, you can explain." β
"Okay." Ning Xuan nodded and smiled politely at Watson, "Mr. Wilson, allow me to explain these two drawings for you......"
The so-called connoisseurs will know if there is one as soon as they make a move, and Anse Air only raised his own questions about the appearance when he saw this drawing, and Watson asked about the comfort of this kind of single shoe after Ning Xuan's explanation, focusing on the angle and so on, Ning Xuan racked his brains to shake everything he knew about shoes to be able to cope with Watson's question.
By the time Ning Xuan finished the last sentence, he already felt that his mouth was dry, and while Ning Xuan was drinking tea, Anse El asked Watson, "What do you think of this business?" β
Watson looked at Ansel, and the expression on his face was completely not as shrewd as Yan SΓΉ when he was facing Ning Xuan, but smiled very gently, "Anse, you have always had the best vision, and this business is worth investing in." I think that when these shoes are introduced, the women of the whole city of Fra will go crazy for it. β
"So...... What should be the proportion? Anse El asked directly.
"As always, four or six points." Watson replied.
Ansel frowned, "Business is business, and brothers have to settle accounts, you don't have to do it every time, five or five points." A Xuan's idea to draw a drawing, but this drawing cannot be put into reality without an experienced craftsman, so we will each account for half. β
"Okay, listen to you." Watson nodded again.
"Then make a contract." Anse El motioned for Ning Xuan to bring over the two clean parchments, personally took out a quill brush to write down the sharing contract, and asked Ning Xuan to sign his name on them before handing them to Watson.
Seeing that Ansel's name was not written on it, Watson frowned slightly and looked at the other party.
But apparently Anse Air was not in the mood to explain so much to Watson, so he only pushed the parchment in front of him, "If it's okay, then sign it, Ah Xuan and I still have things to deal with later." β
Watson glanced at Ning Xuan deeply, then at Anse Air, and finally signed his name, and then pressed his fingerprint.
After the contract was concluded, Ansel stood up first, "Then the matter will be decided first, make shoes, some of your craftsmen are experienced, I think the waiting time for the finished product will not be too long, if you have any questions during the period, you can send someone to ask Ah Xuan, now we still have something to do, go first." β
Although Ning Xuan is also involved in the current matter, Ning Xuan just feels that when Anse Air and Watson are together, he still has a supporting role, but the atmosphere always makes him extremely uncomfortable, and he is about to leave at this time, Ning Xuan is like being amnestied, and quickly stood up and gestured to Watson, and then followed Anse El away, leaving Watson looking down at one of the contracts left alone on the table, and shook his head with a wry smile.
