Chapter Eighty-Two: Talking Business
Xie Huai is over fifty years old, originally a short and fat man, but since beating Tang Wan and digging his corner, his original body of flesh has long been gone, and his hair is half white, in recent years, due to bad business, he has aged a lot at a speed visible to the naked eye, and business has become more and more difficult to do in recent years.
Now that he suddenly heard Qin Niang say this, his slightly sunken cheeks obviously trembled a little, and then smiled bitterly: "Miss Yang, don't make fun of me, you have seen the business of the small shop now, what is there worth for Miss Yang to come and talk to me about business?" ”
Qin Niang went straight to the shop: "Shopkeeper, since it's not yet time to open, let's go inside and talk." ”
When Xie Huai heard this, this Miss Yang didn't look like a joke, so he nodded, hurriedly closed the door again, and then led a few of them to the inner hall.
Hearing that there were distinguished customers in the store, Xie Huai's wife also went downstairs with him, and served them tea very warmly.
"I don't know what business Miss Yang wants to talk about with Xie?" After a cup of tea, Xie Huai looked at Qin Niang and asked politely.
In the past, Qin Niang was also hired by the owner of his shop, but in recent years, the business has been difficult to maintain, he wanted to close the shop several times and return to his hometown with his wife and children, but he was unwilling, and his wife also persuaded him, maybe there will be a turnaround after a while?
In fact, he knew in his heart that if there were no more new works, where would his shop be able to come back to life?
"Shopkeeper, I know that the reason why your business has fallen into such a field is that the craftsman was poached by the Tang Clan's gold shop opposite, right?" Qin Niang didn't talk nonsense to him, and hit his tears straight to the point.
Xie Huai was stunned: "How did Miss Yang know?" "This matter, in fact, has not spread in the industry, first, no one believes it, and second, if it makes a big fuss, it will only make things worse for his Xie family, and there is no benefit.
"I not only know, but also know that when they left, they also took away the shopkeeper's well-designed drawings, it is by relying on these drawings that Tang's gold shop has today's scale, the shopkeeper wants to win them, you have to come up with better works, only drawings, I believe, with the Xie family's century-old heritage, it can still be made." Qin Niang looked at Xie Huai's eyes and said with a faint smile.
Xie Huai's heart jumped when she said it, he didn't expect that the other party was not very old, but he knew a lot, Tang's despicable methods have been exhausted over the years, but how easy is it to defeat the other party?
"Miss Yang, I know you have good intentions, but now, the old man has not been able to draw decent drawings for a long time, I am afraid that he will live up to Miss's good intentions." Speaking of this, Xie Huai couldn't help but feel sad, thinking that the gold shop of his Xie family was also a century-old shop, and those craftsmen were even more so, starting to follow their Xie family from their ancestors, from generation to generation, only to this day, I didn't expect that the friendship of several generations was pry away.
Moreover, he stole several sets of drawings of the head and face that he had carefully painted.
A series of blows, so that he can no longer clear his mind to paint the picture, yes, they can only improve on the basis of the old works in the past, but, the rich ladies and daughters in the capital, are not some immutable people, everyone likes fresh things, especially like the only one, this is always the old altar with new wine, after a long time, which one still comes here to patronize?
"The shopkeeper hasn't listened to me yet, so soon he is discouraged?" Qin Niang smiled, raised her hand and took out a roll of paper from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Xie Huai, "The shopkeeper can take a look, if these drawings are enough, can they fight a turnaround?" ”
Xie Huai was stunned, hurriedly took it with both hands, unfolded it to see, and with just one glance, his eyes lit up, and the excitement in his tone couldn't be concealed, he raised his head to look at her and asked, "Miss Yang, is this going to use these drawings for the shop?" ”
The smile on Qin Niang's face became deeper and deeper, and she just asked, "Is the shopkeeper still satisfied?" ”
Where is Xie Huai still dissatisfied? He couldn't be more satisfied, so he nodded hurriedly: "Of course satisfied, but I don't know what Miss Yang's conditions are?" ”
Such a novel head is naturally able to overwhelm the crowd, but he is not carried away by the excitement, he knows very well that there is no free lunch in this world, and this drawing will naturally not be given to him in vain.
"The shopkeeper is really a cheerful person, so I won't talk darkly." Qin Niang said, hooking her finger at Xie Huai.
Xie Huai hurriedly attached his ears to it, and then, his eyes widened and he lowered his voice and asked, "Is this ...... Won't it be too much of a fuss? ”
Qin Niang took a sip of tea and asked, "Doesn't the shopkeeper Xie want to avenge the past?" If you don't dare, then just wait for the door to close in a few days, I can say that with your current situation, it won't last half a year, and besides, do you think the Tang family will let you go after you close? ”
Speaking of this, she chuckled lightly, and said: "You are wrong, the so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, even if you have closed Zhang Daji, for Tang Wan, after all, the heritage of your Xie family should not be underestimated, she will be afraid of you, if you are desperate and take refuge in others, then you will become bigger and compete with her, won't she let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”
"Therefore, you don't have to think about it, she will definitely use more despicable means to make your family only use her, and when the time comes, your wife and your children will never be able to escape her control."
"When the time comes, the life and death of your family will be in the hands of others, where will there be any way to live? With Tang Wan's temperament, she will definitely blow up all of you, and then kill you. ”
"With her current strength, even if you escape from the capital, I believe she can arrest you back, thank you, shopkeeper, you and your wife are old, and you must not be able to run if you want to, although your children have grown up, you can let them abandon their parents and flee alone, how can they do it?"
Qin Niang's words made Xie Huai's mind buzz, as she said, with Tang Wan's heart, he would definitely not let go of their family, and even if he didn't think about himself, he should also think about his wife and children.
Their family is a century-old brand in the capital, and it can't be destroyed in his hands!
After just a short period of thought, Xie Huai stood up, hugged his fist at her and made a deep gesture, and said earnestly: "Xie is willing to obey Miss Yang's orders, Miss Yang rest assured, although my Xie family is not a big family, but generations have made jewelry for a living, and the craftsmanship will not be bad, as far as my two sons can do it, and now with Miss's drawings, I believe that everything can start again." ”
"You remember to put the drawings away, lest someone steal them again." After Qin Niang's advice, she led the maid and the maid away.
After Xie Huaiqian's thanks, he told his wife not to open the door first, and he excitedly returned to the room with the drawings, took out paper and pens, spread out the sets of drawings, and followed the drawings.
After leaving Xie's gold shop, there have been some people on the street, some shops have opened early, have begun to open their doors to do business, and from time to time they shout at people passing by to attract business.
After staying a little farther away from Xie's gold shop, Qiu Tao approached Qin Niang and asked, "Miss, when will you make jewelry drawings?" ”
Since her young lady returned to the Yang Mansion that time, her whole person has changed, not only has her wrists become stronger, but also she has many new skills, she is by the side of the young lady every day, and she doesn't know when she learned to paint jewelry.
"I won't~" Qin Niang's voice said lazily, with a casual look, and her eyes were still looking at the stall that had begun to be set up from time to time, as if this was not a question worthy of her right color at all.
When Qiu Tao heard this, the whole person was stunned, and then she looked left and right again, and found that there was no one following her, so she lowered her voice again and asked, "You don't, where did those drawings come from?" ”
Qin Niang hooked her lips, looked at her nervous little appearance, and reached out to flick it on her forehead: "What do you care so much about?" Anyway, it's not stolen. ”
When Qiu Tao heard this, she put a little bit of heart, and always felt that her master had been doing things recently, and she was a little chattering, which made people incomprehensible, and several of them followed her to Xie's gold shop, but they still didn't understand what she was going to do.
said that she was going to order the first face, but in fact, she went to send the drawings, and she didn't say that she wanted to leave a copy of the first face, but even if it was to hit Tang Wan, it also gave Xie Huai a big bargain, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was not like her master's style.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, anyway, you just wait to see the show." Qin Niang didn't reveal her plans, not because she couldn't trust them, but because it wasn't good for them to know too much.
What's more, there are still ears next door, and now they are still on the street, even if they want to talk, they have to find a secret place to say it.
Otherwise, if it leaks out, then her bureau will not be in vain.
"So, now that we're done, are we going back to the house now?" Qiu Xue asked.
Qin Niang glanced at a certain shop not far away, her light flashed, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she pointed to that place and said, "Since they are all out, let's go over there and have a look." ”
Qiu Tao was startled, and hurriedly chased after her: "But, miss, isn't that Tang Wan's clothing store?" What are we going to do there, you don't need to go to her shop to make clothes, do you? ”
Gu Chen has several garment shops in his hands, and there are at least three on this street alone, can Fan have to do business for the enemy?
"You're really stupid when you say you're stupid, who said that the young lady went to that place to do business for the other party?" Qiu Xue glanced at her angrily and said.
