Chapter 650: Not Cooperative
In the end, the third lady still listened to Gu Ming's suggestion, and really decided to name this store "Three and Fourteen".
It's a strange name, but it's also a name that you won't forget.
Next, the two of them spent several days, slowly, little by little, to discuss the big and small matters of opening the store. The big aspects such as the amount of investment, the proportion of each one, and the small places, such as what kind of tea the visitors make, what incense they burn, and what kind of water they use......
So the things have been settled one by one in the past few days.
After that, the two of them discussed it carefully and made sure that there was nothing missing, so they signed a draft agreement for cooperation, and the third lady hurriedly wrote a letter, recording all the circumstances in it, and asked the family to send it back quickly.
And now, she has finally calmed down and started to discuss some idle things with Gu Ming.
"In the future, the business of this store will definitely be good, let's hurry up and open a branch, and before those imitations react, we will open 'three and fourteen' stores all over the country! Everywhere, there must be our 'three and fourteen'! The third lady was ambitious and said in a high-spirited manner.
Gu Ming looked at her and didn't speak, just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Why are you laughing? Am I wrong? The third lady was not happy.
"This matter of your family is in your hands, right?" Gu Ming smiled and finally spoke. It's just that the words she asked were very strange, which made the third lady feel confused.
"Isn't that obvious?" Don't let her be responsible, such a big thing, will she do it alone? Didn't even send an overseer to the elders?
"Your family should think that this matter is a good opportunity to make friends with the fourth prince, and this money should probably be regarded as a gift of affection, and you can toss it...... Probably none of them would have thought that this thing would be successful. Although Gu Ming's attitude was very gentle, what she said was quite cold.
The third lady was stunned for a moment when she heard her words, but she had to admit it.
Although this amount of money is not small, in the eyes of the Xu family, it is still bearable. As long as you can successfully make friends with the four princes, you can become an imperial businessman...... No matter how big the price is, it can be afforded.
It's just that these words came out of Fourteen Niang's mouth, but they looked particularly cruel. Originally, she refused to think about it so much......
"But in fact, this business is very likely to be very successful and can be done very much." Gu Ming wanted to cooperate with her, on the one hand, because of lack of money, but the Xu family had no problem in this regard;
On the other hand, there is a shortage of manpower. In addition to female teachers, a nail salon needs a lot of talents to operate normally. And these talents, when trained, are even more difficult than female teachers. But the Xu family has been in business for generations and has a large scale, even if she only uses women, the Xu family should be able to make it up.
This is the essence of the Maison. The Gu family is also a family, but it is a scholarly family with a considerable library building. It was also from this book that she found clues that could cure Ning Yuqing's illness.
This is also the essence of the Maison.
It is impossible for a small family to have such benefits, and the same is true for the nouveau riche.
"But after a few years, the business will be opened, and it is estimated that you will be older, and at that time, these stores, if you put them in your hands, it will look very embarrassing...... Gu Ming continued.
The face of the third lady also became quite difficult to look at.
Although Gu Ming said very vaguely, the third lady herself is not a fool, except for Ning Yuqing's matter, she behaved a little stupid, in fact, she is a rather shrewd person.
She could hear the meaning of Gu Ming's words, but she was worried that after a few years, the "Three and Fourteen" business would become bigger, and the family's views would change.
At that time, she must be preparing to get married, and such a big business, if it continues to be in her hands, won't it become a dowry? Someone else's property?
If it's just a thing for fun, it doesn't matter if she marries someone and brings it with her; But if it's a big and profitable business, it's hard to say.
There are many people in the family, even if it is a grandmother, sometimes she doesn't say anything.
Although Gu Ming didn't like what she said, the third lady knew that she was really good for her and was helping her.
It seems that I really have to think about it in a few years...... The daughters of merchants generally marry a little older, but they are not more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
In fact, there is not much time left for yourself......
"Fourteen Niang, look at it, it's only been a long time, and the flowers on the nails have fallen off." The eighth prince sent a pair of well-maintained fingernails to Gu Ming's eyelids and showed her, "It seems that it is really not easy for women, flowers are painted on the nails, and I can't do anything, I just wrote a few words, and it fell off a lot of ......."
"The Eighth Prince is coming to me now, do you want me to draw a flower for you again?" Gu Ming, the old god, took a booklet beside him, flipped to a page casually, pointed to a rich and glorious peony on it, and said to them, "Why don't I draw this flower for you this time?" The silver is too light, so it's better to change to light red, goose yellow, and grass green to match the color......"
"Don't say goodbye, I'm just introducing someone to you." The Eighth Prince hurriedly waved his hand.
Still drawing? He really didn't dare to be interested.
Moreover, such a beautiful painting that takes so long to draw on the nails is only half a day's work, and it falls off very ugly......
"Lao Huang, what's wrong, why don't you come in?" He turned his head and shouted loudly outside.
Lao Huang? Gu Ming smiled, but the corners of her mouth showed a little disdain.
If she wasn't mistaken......
Before the words of the eighth prince fell, the people outside walked in, and Gu Ming really guessed correctly.
The old Huang he shouted was the old Mr. Huang who had made a special trip to visit Gu Ming last time, the big owner of "Moxiangfang".
But Gu Ming believes that the real big boss should be the Eighth Prince who sits in front of him and smiles gently.
"I heard that Fourteen Niang is going to do this business in the capital?" The Eighth Prince smiled and said to Gu Ming, "Then I'll recommend a good candidate to you." Lao Huang is honest and kind, you partner with him, absolutely reliable! You don't have to worry about anything in the future, just wait for the dividends! ”
If she really partnered with Lao Huang, Gu Ming believed that of course she wouldn't have to care about anything...... Because, soon, there will be nothing to do with her in this business!
The reputation of the Eighth Prince in this regard is not very good. In fact, in the merchant circles of the capital, his reputation is extremely stinky.
The businessmen who have been bankrupt by him have been more than ordinary over the years.
