Ning Xia Qing went to Gu Feng and learned from Gu Feng that Ning Yongda had already negotiated with Miao Laosan, and Ning Xia Qing was a little incredulous: "Dad is actually ...... I really agreed to go out of the ship, and we talked about it, but it was too fast......"

Gu Feng said with a smile while tidying up the warehouse: "Can you not be happy?" The family didn't give the goods, and the shopkeeper was so anxious that he went straight to the fire, so he hurriedly went to settle with Miao Laosan, and the shop was counting on this batch of materials to save the emergency! And ah, once this product is completed, we will be able to get rid of the control of our own family. ”

Ningxia Qing was dumbfounded, she understood that this statement was not unreasonable.

Gu Feng sorted out a few rotten flowers and said, "For so many years, the shopkeeper has been relying on the supply of goods from his own family. However, the family always raises the price at every turn, and also restricts the type and quantity of materials that the shopkeeper can get. To tell the truth, although we have been seeing through it for so many years, we all know that our family is deliberately pressing the shopkeeper. ”

Gu Feng carefully placed a few boxes of sisal and said, "I'm not the Ning family, I shouldn't have said bad things about the Ning family's own family in front of you, but the family's side is too much, I really can't bear it." For example, in the case of Mulberry Garden, the eldest man of the family forced the shopkeeper to rent the Mulberry Garden to him, and even mentioned that the shopkeeper let the Mulberry Garden out, which is simply bullying! ”

Gu Feng patted the dust on the double-sided crepe and said, "To be honest, the shopkeeper has long wanted to get rid of his family. But over the years, the family has been doing everything possible to pick up silver from the hands of the shopkeeper, so that the shopkeeper has no money left in his hands, and how can he open up another source of goods without silver? ”

Gu Feng moved a few fine-colored brocades over and said: "Qing'er, thanks to you, thanks to you for helping the shopkeeper earn the silver of the Weaving Bureau, so that the shopkeeper can take a breath from the pressure of his own family, and also have the money to open up new sources of goods." ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at the materials that Gu Feng had sorted out, rotten flower silk, sisal cloth, double-sided crepe, and fine-colored brocade...... Miscellaneous, there are inferior goods in the best materials, there are superior goods in the inferior materials, the customers of these materials are very few, and they are not a group of people at all, so it is difficult to retain regular customers, how can business be good?

In addition, this pile of materials is used for different purposes, some are made for clothes, some are made for window screens, and even there are tarpaulins for ships, for different audiences, there is no way to retain regular guests, no wonder some materials are put in the warehouse to accumulate dust!

Ning Xia Qing knows that although Ning Yongda is not a material for doing business, Ning Yongda is not stupid. Don't even think about it, the reason why there are such a bunch of chicken ribs in the Ning family's warehouse is definitely not Ning Yongda's original intention, it must be that after the family monopolized the supply of goods, they deliberately gave Ning Yongda these materials, and deliberately made Ning Yongda's business unruly, so as to achieve the purpose of suppressing Ning Yongda.

Therefore, Ning Yongda's decision to go out of the ship was actually to resist the suppression of his own family, which was a kind of decision.

She understands that the departure from the ship is a foregone conclusion, but the departure from the ship is a major event, and she has to help Ning Yongda take care of it.

Ning Xia Qing thought about it with a frown, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Gu Feng, how much silver did my father and Miao Laosan each have?" Surely you know, right? Just tell me. ”

Gu Feng smiled innocently, looked left and right, and after making sure that there was no one else, he came to Ning Ningqing's side, and drew an eight, and then two fours.

Ning Xia Qing was shocked: "Dad is out of four thousand taels? That's pretty much all the running water in the shop, right? ”

"Not really!" Gu Feng whispered: "But ah, the shopkeeper later said that you are about to get married, and you have to leave 1,000 taels for you to buy and buy, so I and Miao Laosan paid 3,000 taels." ”

Hearing the word "marry", Ning Ningqing lowered his eyes slightly, and then continued to ask casually: "Is Dad sure that Miao Laosan is reliable?" ”

Gu Feng waved his hand and said confidently: "Qing'er, don't worry, this trip will definitely be reliable, because the shopkeeper will follow the boat in person." ”

Ning Ningqing frowned, and immediately asked, "My father wants to go to the boat himself?" Why? What exactly does he want to buy? ”

Gu Feng nodded and said, "The reason why the shopkeeper wants to go with the ship is also to see the market over there for reference. On this trip, the shopkeeper mainly went to the middle and low-grade yarns. You may not know that yarn is more profitable than any other material. The shopkeeper wants to inquire and see how the yarn market is there, if it is cost-effective, a large number of medium and low-grade yarn may come back. ”

Ningxia Qing remembered that Tan Wenshi once taught her that if you want things to sell well, the cheaper the cheap things are, and the more expensive the expensive things are. This is because those who come to buy cheap things care about the price, and those who come to buy expensive things care about status.

Ning Yongda wants to turn to mainly sell low-grade yarn materials, wants to get materials at a cheaper purchase price by opening up new sources, wants to win at low prices, and wants to mainly do business for low-end customers, this idea is right.

But Tan Wenshi also said that every shop has its own fixed customers, if you change the grade of the shop, you will lose those repeat customers, and if you want to accumulate new customers, it takes a certain amount of time, in this sense, changing the grade of the shop is almost equivalent to opening a new shop, which means a great risk.

Ning Ningqing understands this truth, and Ning Yongda, who has been in business for so many years, naturally understands that if it weren't for being bullied by his own family, Ning Yongda would not have chosen such a risky path.

But she couldn't let Ning Yongda go to the boat, it was too dangerous, and she had to find a way to stop it.

She will always remember that in her previous life, Ning Yongda owed a huge debt and was carried back from the casino, covered in blood, some of whom fought with others, and some of whom vomited out in a hurry.

To this day, when she thinks of Ning Yongda's tragic situation back then, she will have nightmares from time to time.

It wasn't that time yet, and she didn't know if her rebirth could change Ning Yongda's fate.

Therefore, before that time came, she couldn't let Ning Yongda take any more risks, if she let Ning Yongda go on a boat, it would be equivalent to cutting her heart out!

"Uncle Gu Feng, does my father have to go with the boat? Can you persuade him not to go? ”

"Qing'er, what's wrong with you, why are you so pale? The shopkeeper should have already decided to go, and went with Miao Laosan's cronies. The shopkeeper wants to take a look and understand the market, which is a good thing. ”

Ning Xia Qing said bitterly, but pleaded with Gu Feng very sincerely: "Uncle Gu Feng, I beg you, you must help me persuade my father, don't go with the boat this time." ”

Gu Feng was confused: "Why?" ”

"This ...... Sailing is too risky, my father is the pillar of the family, I must not let my father take this risk, if something happens, grandma will definitely not be able to stand it, grandma is this age......"

Gu Feng smiled and waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Qing'er, you are really worried, the shopkeeper has been doing business for so many years, and he has enough experience in walking the rivers and lakes, nothing will happen." Besides, the shopkeeper has already decided, even if I persuade it, I guess I won't be able to persuade it. ”

Ningxia Qing lowered his eyes, knowing that Uncle Gu Feng couldn't persuade him. This is not surprising, after all, Uncle Gu Feng doesn't know the worries in her heart, so naturally he won't have the same sense of crisis as her. She sighed, and had no choice but to give up arguing with Uncle Gu Feng about the matter and prepare to leave the warehouse.

Before leaving, she said: "Uncle Gu Feng, I probably know what kind of yarn will be fashionable in the future, I will make a list, you can give this list to my father." ”

Gu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Okay, Qing'er's eyes are vicious, I believe that the yarn material selected by Qing'er will definitely sell well!" ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and went to Cao's house again.

When Cao saw Ningxia Qing coming in, he was stunned: "Why are you here again?" Did you just forget to mention something? ”

Ning Xia Qing saw that there were broken silver and copper plates on Cao's kang table, and Cao divided them into piles, so Ning Ningqing asked, "Is my mother distributing moon silver?" ”

"yes." Cao replied, and then called Lan Ying and Ai Lu, and asked the two maids to send Yueyin to everyone's hands, and the two maids left, so Cao Shi pulled Ning Xia Qing to sit down, and asked, "Why did you come here again?" What is it for? ”

"Mother, is my dad going out again?"

Cao Shi was stunned: "That's true, but where did you hear about it?" Your dad just decided last night. ”

"Mother, can you not let Dad go?"

Cao Shi was puzzled: "Why? Your father has to go out for the business in the shop, this is not nonsense, you can't say that you won't go if you don't go. ”

"Not to mention the hard work of going far away, it is also easy to encounter risks. Dad is old, and he is the pillar of the family, if something happens to his father, what can our family do? ”

Cao Shi smiled when he heard this, and said, "Mother knows, you gave your father an idea a while ago and helped your father earn a lot of money, and your father praised me for your knowledge." However, it doesn't matter if you give your father an idea, but you can't manage too much, this business is a man's business after all. Your father is the head of the family, so we just need to listen to him. ”

Ning Xia Qing was a little annoyed, but he also knew that Cao's reaction was the reaction of all women in the world. As an elder, you will not believe the truth in the mouth of the juniors, and if you want to persuade them, reasoning will not work, and you must present cruel facts, even if this fact will frighten the other party.

So, Ning Xia Qing said: "Mother, I don't want to meddle in business matters, I'm just worried about my father." Mother, have you ever been to Chenjiang? Have you ever been to the Meigong River? ”

Cao Shi was stunned. Cao has been like ordinary women since he was a child, he has not left the door without leaving the second door, and he has even left Liu'an County only a handful of times, so naturally he has never seen the legendary Chen Jiang and Meigong River.

"Mother, do you know how urgent the water in Chen Jiang is? How fierce are the big waves of the Mui Gong River? Do you know how many boats have capsized there in the last year? How many people have died? If Dad goes south with the boat, he will inevitably pass through the Chen River and the Meigong River, are you really at ease? ”

"This ......" Cao Shi was stunned, obviously frightened by Ning Ningqing's words.

Ningxia Qingdao: "Mother, I am in the boudoir, I am isolated from the outside world, and I am not well-informed, but I remember that in the last year, I only heard that a total of sixteen boats capsized at the confluence of the Chen River and the Meigong River, and this is only what I heard. ”

Cao's face turned white.

Ning Xia Qing continued to say seriously: "It just rained a while ago, do you know how many merchants were killed by that rain?" It can be seen that the road to business is really dangerous, and we can't let my father take this risk! ”

Cao's eyes flickered, obviously he had been moved.

"Take 10,000 steps back, if my father walks like this, even if the road is safe, it will take more than a month to come back. Not only will I not be able to catch up with my grandfather's death day, but I will also delay my marriage proposal. ”

Cao Shi sighed and said, "What did you say...... It also makes sense, in fact, when your father told me last night that he was going out, I also persuaded him, but your father said that he would definitely not have an accident, so I agreed. Now even if I want to persuade ...... Qing'er, you also know, I have always only been in charge of the affairs of the house, business matters, I can't speak, even if I want to persuade it, I can't persuade it......"

Ning Xia Qing smiled and said, "You can't persuade it, but there is one person who can persuade it." ”

Cao asked, "You mean the old lady?" ”

Ning Xia Qing smiled and nodded.

Cao is a little conflicted. If Mrs. Ning spoke, Ning Yongda would naturally listen, but how to tell the old lady? The Cao family also persuaded Ning Yongda last night, saying that Ning Yongda is not in good health now and should not go out, but does the Cao family also use the same reason to persuade the old lady? Ning Yongda's bad health has been hidden from the old lady, and the Cao family does not dare to tell this secret casually.
