Chapter 406: Exchanges
Facts have proved that Ake's idea is good, but he can't bear the unpredictability of the people of this world......
When Ake was still a newsboy, he had been on the streets for so long, and he had met a lot of friends who came out to work like him, so he still had a little mass base.
He only needs to go to the street where he used to go and shout, and he can attract a lot of small friends. And many children know that Ake is doing well now, and they all think of him as the leader, making him look like a gang boss at a young age.
As soon as everyone heard that he was in trouble and that he could make extra money after the thing was done, they didn't say a word, and agreed to help him on the spot.
Ake gave them money, asked them to go to the embroidery village to buy embroidery thread, and repeatedly instructed them not to mention the signboard of the splendid cloth shop.
The children went in batches and came back in batches. Shi Lan, who strictly controls the quality of embroidery thread, was about to cry when she saw the embroidery thread they bought......
Shi Lan grabbed a roll of embroidery thread with one hand and a roll of embroidery thread with poor color with the other, and said without tears: "We never use such embroidery thread." You see, this thread is fluffy, and the color is not eye-catching, and I don't know if it will fade or not. And this one, the thread broke as soon as the stirrup was broken, and it wasn't strong at all! โ
The embroidery threads bought by a few ingenious little girls called by Ake were all good colors, but those male dolls had never done the work of threading needles and threads, so how did they know that there were still such exquisiteness.
One of the children who reacted quickly said: "We all came according to Ake's request, and we were afraid of the shopkeeper's suspicion, so we all went separately." โ
Lao Qu didn't see much loss, not to mention that it was a group of dolls doing things, and it was normal for him to have omissions, so he didn't go to his heart.
He kindly asked, "Then what did you say after you went?" โ
One by one, the children rushed to speak:
"I said my mother was going to sew me new clothes for the New Year, and she wanted to buy the best thread you have here."
"I'll just say buy the best thread you've got here."
"I said my mother was going to embroider a quilt cover......
The excuses they make are not varied, but they are much the same.
Finally, a child waved his hand and said, "When I paid the money with the shopkeeper and delivered the goods with one hand, he said that I was giving me the best thread, and I definitely didn't mean to buy such a poor quality thread for you!" โ
As soon as he said this, the other children who took money to do things but didn't do it well also panicked, lest they be misunderstood that they had secretly hidden money and deliberately did such an inauthentic thing.
Lao Qu touched the child's little brain as if comforting, and smiled very kindly. He held the youngest doll in his lap and said patiently, "You are friends with Ake, of course I believe you." "He could see that these were honest children." You have little contact in this area, and you can tell whether the quality of the embroidery thread is good or bad. Just like me, I've lived for such a long time, and I can't see that the threads you bought back are any different from the ones we usually use in our shop. Your sister Shilan is a professional embroiderer, she can tell the difference. Just now, your sister Shilan was in a hurry, and her tone was a little heavy, didn't it scare you, right? โ
Listening to Lao Qu say so many comforting words, a little hairy boy was embarrassed, grabbed his head and smiled: "Hey, what is this?" โ
If the problem wasn't with these children, then Shi Lan would know what was going on.
"It's also 'the price is fair, and the children are not bullied'!" Shi Lan doesn't know much about reading, but the tricks with these eight characters can be seen everywhere on the street, and she has memorized them even if she hasn't learned them. "The shopkeeper of the embroidery village is shoddy, and he doesn't feel sorry for selling such poor quality embroidery thread to the children, and slapping himself in the face!"
Ake took the initiative to admit his mistake, "It's all my fault, it's me who didn't take it into account......"
Lao Qu comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, eat a trench and grow wise, just spend money to buy a lesson." โ
The eldest boy gathered the unsatisfactory embroidery threads together, and assured Lao Qu and Shi Lan: "Uncle, sister, don't worry, don't say that Ake is our friend, even if he is not, we will take your money and we will handle things for you." If he doesn't reason with us, we will come to the door one by one to make trouble with him, so that he can't do business! โ
Lao Qu saw that the loss was not big, and thought to himself, forget it, don't come to the door because of this small loss, but these children didn't make sense, but they were beaten badly. But not everyone feels the same sorry for these children as he does.
He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, you can go to the embroidery workshop with Ake to eat snacks." โ
As soon as I heard the snack, a few greedy children swallowed a mouthful of saliva without a breath, and made a "coo" sound, which was the youngest doll sitting on Lao Qu's lap and made the biggest noise in his mouth.
Seeing that Lao Qu couldn't help laughing, he put him down and let a little brother hold his hand, "Let's go with my brothers and sisters." โ
The little brother still took away the embroidery thread that was not of good quality.
took other people's money and ate other people's snacks, but they couldn't do the little things that others explained, how could these children be happy in their hearts? Don't look at their young age, in fact, they are also very thoughtful people.
After eating the snacks, a young lady took her youngest brother, took the embroidery thread that the sister and brother bought before, and went to the embroidery village to ask for an explanation.
When I arrived near Xiuzhuang, my sister coaxed my younger brother, "Mao Dan'er, I still want to eat snacks in the future, if you want to eat, you can cry to your sister now." โ
The younger brother blinked his watery eyes, very confused, and the immature child's voice babbled and asked, "Sister, why?" โ
My sister made a tiger face, "If you don't cry, you won't have any snacks to eat in the future!" โ
After hearing this, he couldn't eat snacks, and his younger brother grinned, and tears appeared in a bunch of clear eyes.
It wasn't until he cried that his sister took him to the embroidery village again.
As soon as the sister and brother arrived at the embroidery village, the elder sister shouted: "Shopkeeper, look at what broken thread you sold me!" You sell things in your store, aren't you a fool! Seeing that we are children, they bullied us for not knowing the goods, right? โ
"Where did you come from, hairy boy, get out of here quickly!" The guys in the embroidery village came to pick up people.
The little girl is also a powerful corner, pulling her crying brother into the pile, shouting at the guests in the embroidery village, "Everyone gives our sister and brother a comment, more than half an hour ago, I took 20 copper yuan to buy embroidery thread from them." They all said that the embroidery thread in this house was the best, so I brought my brother here, and guess what - I gave the shopkeeper twenty copper dollars, but he gave me two bundles of embroidery thread, and my sisters and aunts came to see what the shopkeeper gave me was broken, and the stirrups broke! โ
The young lady demonstrated to everyone on the spot, pulled a piece of embroidery thread, and with a little force, the embroidery thread was broken into two.
How energetic she can be as a child.
The young lady was aggrieved, "I took the embroidery thread home, and my mother bought two bundles of embroidery thread of this quality for 20 copper yuan, and sold me and my brother for a ......."
The young lady secretly pulled her brother's hand, but the younger brother was a bright-eyed person, and immediately amplified his cry, crying so much that his liver and intestines were broken.
Listening to what the little girl said, a guest in Xiuzhuang couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, what's going on?" โ
The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "What's the matter, can't you see this, I don't know where the hairy boy who came from wants to slander me!" โ
The young lady led her younger brother and rushed to the shopkeeper, "I lied to you? See for yourselfโ" she showed the unopened bundle of embroidery threads, "and there is a label of your embroidery village on it, could it be that the words on this label are still written by me?" I can't even write my own name, so how can I write such a regular word? โ
Before the theory was cleared here, another child entered the cloth village and went straight to the shopkeeper.
He handed the two bundles of embroidery thread to the shopkeeper, and said in a milky voice: "Shopkeeper, my mother said that the embroidery thread you gave me was fluffy, and let me bring it to you to change." โ
Forget about one, another one, can these dolls all come to blackmail the shopkeeper?
Seeing this, a customer who was supposed to pay the bill suddenly said that he would not buy it.
Seeing that the business could not be done, the shopkeeper was so angry that he wanted to kick these children out, but the eyes of the guests in the embroidery village were focused on him and these children.
With so many people watching, if he doesn't treat his children well, he will be retorted for. For the sake of the moment, the loss of these guests is small, in case this matter spreads, stinks his reputation with the embroidery village, and the future business will not be good, and then it will be the real gain outweighs the loss.
The shopkeeper of the embroidery village secretly weighed it and made up his mind in his heart.
At this moment, the guys of Xiuzhuang were speaking ill of those children, and they were going to make a gesture to drive them away. Seeing this, the shopkeeper stopped the man and greeted the children with a smile.
"I don't care if you are here to slander me or something else, my Jiangshu Embroidery Village has always been a child without bullying in business, and I have never sold bad threads. Don't you just want to exchange these bad threads for the good embroidery threads in my shop, I'll just change them for you! He deliberately amplified his voice so that the other guests in the store could hear and witness his attitude
People do not stand without integrity, and the same is true for doing business.
He will never admit that he has shoddy embroidery threads in the embroidery village, otherwise he is undoubtedly smashing his own signboard. In order to establish a good reputation for Xiuzhuang, why not be a "good person"!
Looking at the hypocritical face of the shopkeeper, the children disdained to fight with him. As long as the embroidery thread can be replaced with a good quality, what if you carry a black pot, it won't hurt for them anyway.
The young lady changed the embroidery thread and kept a heart, and deliberately checked it in front of the shopkeeper, although she couldn't see the quality, but when she saw the shopkeeper's painful expression, she knew that the other party didn't play tricks anymore.
As soon as these two groups of small pot friends left, a few children came to cry, make trouble, and hang themselves to ask for a replacement.
The shopkeeper was overwhelmed, and gradually became aware of it. Before today, the embroidery village opened its doors to do business, and it has never encountered such a thing, why do so many children come to buy embroidery thread today?
No, it's definitely not right!
The shopkeeper asked one of the shopkeepers to sneak up on a kid who had left after changing the thread to see where the kid had gone.
The man came to report that the children who had appeared in the embroidery village today had gone to one place after buying and changing the thread -- the splendid cloth shop.
The shopkeeper's anger, it is really a foot high, he was ordered to make things difficult for the splendid cloth shop, but the people of the splendid cloth shop actually used this trick and let a group of hairy children help buy the goods!
He immediately reported the matter to Ye Yipin of the Yipin Chamber of Commerce.
After Ye Yipin heard about this, he didn't have to be angry. He asked his counterparts in the entire Shanghai market to isolate the Splendid Cloth Shop, and he didn't believe that the Splendid Cloth Store could still do it!
However, he didn't expect that there was one in the industry that would not buy his account at all, that is, Xinhua Weaving and Dyeing Factory, which was a rising star like Jinxiu Cloth Company.
And Lao Qu was also worried that Xinhua Weaving and Dyeing Factory would collude with the Ye family to deal with the splendid cloth shop, but after inviting McKay to a meal today, he was really relieved.
It's not because McKay patted his chest and assured him that he was relieved, but after listening to McKay talk about the past, he realized that there was a grudge between the Mai family, the Shengshi Weaving and Dyeing Factory, which was the predecessor of Xinhua Weaving and Dyeing Factory, and the declining textile king Sheng Chunlai.
The Shengshi Weaving and Dyeing Factory originally belonged to the Mai family, but it was later occupied by Ye Yipin's old thief and Sheng Chunlai. The Mai family was in the middle of the road, and Mackay's father couldn't afford to fall ill because of this, and died within two years. After his father's death, his mother was depressed and unhappy, and finally ended up depressed.
After the death of his parents, he left the sad place and embarked on the road of studying in a foreign country. It was not long ago that he heard about the fall of Sheng Chunlai, and he came back determined to revive the family business.
Not to mention that Mai Kay and the Xinshi Dyeing Factory have a contractual relationship with the Splendid Cloth Company, even if there is no such relationship, he will not do that shameless deed with Ye Yipin.
Lao Qu took a reassurance pill from McKay, returned to the Splendid Cloth Shop, and happened to bump into his son Guancheng at the door.
I drank a little wine when I was having dinner with McKay just now, and now the wine is strong, Lao Qu is drunk, and he speaks a little roughly, "Why are you here?" Why don't you teach your students at school? โ
After Channel Cheng entered the splendid cloth shop with him, he handed him a pictorial.
He confiscated the pictorial from a deserted schoolgirl in class today.
At that time, pictorial magazines were equivalent to magazines now, publishing the hottest women's products at the moment, including cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, etc., which were loved by women who pursued fashion trends.
People and things that can be on this kind of pictorial are all on fire.
The splendid cloth shop is basically a fire, but-
There is a whole section of the pictorial that reports on the splendid cloth line, and there is not a good word in a few hundred words, and the whole is a critical article! The splendid cloth shop has become the scum of the industry!
Lao Qu was furious, "It's too much! Don't think about it, this must be another moth made by Ye Yipin! He threw the pictorial to Shi Lan and pointed in the direction of the embroidery workshop, "Take it to your little shopkeeper to see!" โ
Shi Lan went with the pictorial in her hand, and came back with the pictorial after a while. What made her laugh and cry was that in this matter, the reactions of the two shopkeepers were not the same.
Compared with the angry old canal, coriander's reaction was much calmer.
Shuyuan Pictorial is one of the most popular fashion magazines in Shanghai. When she used to work as a bartender at Baiyuemen, she often saw the backstage women of Baiyuemen holding "Shuyuan Pictorial", and even got together to discuss which new product in the pictorial was there.
"Real gold is not afraid of fire." Shi Lan relayed the original words of coriander to Lao Qu, and glanced at Channel Cheng angrily.
Is he so filial to his son, knowing that his father treats the splendid cloth shop as a treasure, he still shows this kind of thing to his father, which makes him angry.
Channel Cheng also realized that there was something wrong with what he had done, and with a little self-blame and chagrin in his heart, he comforted Lao Qu and said: "Rumors stop at the ...... of the wise."
As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a sour and rancid smell, Shi Lan squeezed him aside, and brought some of the other words said by coriander to Lao Qu, "Coriander said, this "Shuyuan Pictorial" may not be able to board if there is a way, if you have the contact information of the surname Ye, just give him a call, thank him for helping us put an advertisement on the Splendid Cloth Shop." โ
As soon as he heard this, Lao Qu's anger disappeared completely, and thinking of Ye Yipin's dumb old face that couldn't be said to be bitter after eating Coptis chinensis, he patted his thighs and laughed. He couldn't wait to see it with his own eyes!
He got up with a comfortable heart, "Just calling can't show our sincerity." Hurry up, prepare a big gift for me, no, it's a big gift for Ye Yipin! I want to take this gift and personally come to the door to thank you! โ
Channel Cheng was helpless, "Dad, you are provoking at the door." โ
Lao Qu was unreasonable and said: "What's the matter, I'm just going to provoke him Ye Yipin!" He is angry with me for no reason, so I can't be angry with him? โ
Lao Qu ran to fight with Ye Yipin, Shi Lan monopolized the power of the splendid cloth shop, and instructed Qian Lang: "You call a few people to go to Xinhua Weaving and Dyeing Factory to pick up more goods." โ
"Our splendid cloth shop has been hacked like that, can we still sell the goods when they are delivered?" Qian Lang was not in a high mood.
"If you are told to go, you will go." Seeing that Qian Lang still couldn't lift his strength, Shi Lan pressed him with the name of coriander, "This is what the little shopkeeper ordered!" โ
Channel Cheng was afraid that Qian Lang would not accept Shi Lan, so he urged him: "Hurry up." โ
Qian Lang originally planned to go to the Chu Embroidery Workshop to find coriander for verification, but after listening to the young owner of the Splendid Cloth Shop, he had no choice but to comply.
Lao Qu went to Hengtai Buzhuang in a happy mood, and came out of Hengtai Buzhuang in a happy mood, and Ye Yipin's angry face lingered in front of him along the way.
He was in Hengtai Buzhuang just now, holding Ye Yipin's hand, "Ye Lao Ye Lao" screamed hotter and hotter, but Ye Yipin's face turned blue for a while. He was "grateful" to Ye Yipin, the old guy was probably so angry that his eyes turned black, and he pointed in the wrong direction with his fingers shaking.
Ye Yipin stood at the gate of Hengtai Buzhuang, watching Lao Qu get into a luxury car and drive away, and as soon as the car drove away, he also fainted.
Heavens, O earth, why is this so! (To be continued.) )
