Chapter 32: The New Owner
After a little reining in his thoughts, Uncle He said solemnly: "Aunt Cui, the 100,000 pairs of pants in the Zhenwu Army are not a small number, with Xiao Lao'er's current cutting ability, it will take at least two months to make it, and if all the orders in the army are made, the people in the city are afraid that they will be disappointed, and our Bird's Nest brand will also be abused by them." β
Cui Wenqing thought for a while, and said: "The Bird's Nest pants are so popular, I believe that there will be other imitations and sales soon, for the sake of quantity, those merchants will definitely fight a quantity war, a price war, most people will go to his house to buy, and the profits of the pants will further decline, I mean that our Bird's Nest brand can not take the low-end route, but to maintain the original price unchanged, it doesn't matter if it is expensive, make your own brand, and the military orders can not be given up, because when you are poor, it is General Bai who gives a helping hand, and sends charcoal in the snow!" β
He Laohan was shocked, understood the meaning of Cui Wenqing's words, nodded and said: "Okay, just according to my uncle's words, there is another thing for the little old man to ask his uncle." β
"But it's okay to say it, old man!"
"That's the case, if it weren't for your uncle's advice, how could the little old man make so much money? Xiao Lao'er has never been greedy in business, as long as he promised to repay the fifty taels of gambling debts, and the rest of the two hundred taels of income, please aunt, you can accept it. He Laohan said, and he was going to get the money.
Cui Wenqing admired He Laohan's honesty and honesty, smiled and said: "Everything is because of your luck, uncle, why do you need to see the outside like this, don't be polite." β
He Laohan said righteously: "That's not good, it's my uncle's uncle's, and the little old man won't take more." β
Cui Wenqing thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I don't want these two hundred taels of silver, it will be counted as an investment and cooperate with you, I don't know what you think?" β
He Laohan was stunned, and suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "This method is good, with the support of my uncle, Xiao Lao'er's silk shop will definitely become more and more prosperous." β
Cui Wenqing shook his head and smiled, stood up and looked around at this small shop that was more than three feet long and wide, and said with a negative hand: "How can a person with big things in mind be trapped in a corner? How can such a small shop bear the dream of being famous! If I want to do business, I must become the leading businessman in Daqi! β
Gan Xinda, who had been silent, was slightly stunned, obviously a little shocked.
Little Lori didn't understand it at all, she just felt that her aunt was extraordinary, and her eyes were full of little stars for a while.
As for Uncle He, he only felt that his blood that had been cooled for many years was ignited by Cui Wenqing's words, and Zhou's body was actually hot, and his heart was also full of strong fighting spirit.
But the old man's thoughts were more practical, and He Laohan quickly sobered up and sighed lightly: "Uncle, you dislike this shop is too small, right?" I didn't think it before, but since the advent of the pants, we don't have enough manpower in the store, and Xiao Lao'er also thinks so. However, it is still unknown how long the Bird's Nest pants will be popular, and it is a bit of a haste to expand the store now. β
Cui Wenqing smiled leisurely: "It's just pants, you can't get on the table, let's play and earn the first pot of gold, as for the future, there are many more profitable businesses to cooperate with you, you can rest assured." β
Cui Wenqing didn't say empty words, thinking of what women's bras, women's stockings, bikinis, and fun underwear could be copied to Daqi, his heart couldn't help but be excited.
He Laohan hesitated, nodded abruptly and said, "Okay, everything is up to my uncle, Xiao Lao'er will go out to find a store now." β
Cui Wenqing nodded and reminded: "In fact, the most important thing is that the new store's garment room must be large enough, and more tailors need to be hired to cope with it." β
He Laohan bowed his head and said: "Little Lao'er understands, when I find the store, I will ask my uncle to take a look." β
On the way back, Gan Xinda couldn't help but say: "Uncle, there will be a place in the end that I don't know whether to say or not." β
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "Captain Gan is a bold person, why do you need to twist and pinch, if you have something to say, it doesn't hurt." β
"Well, the last general will be blunt." Gan Xinda smiled, and then said: "The last general thinks that uncle, you are from a beautiful background, and you should retake the imperial examination with your meritorious name, so that one day you can be named outside the Ying Tianmen and become a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, why do you want to do business with Uncle He now?" And it's still a fig leaf for others, and the last general is worried that if this happens, I'm afraid that it will insult your uncle's reputation. β
Cui Wenqing pondered for a moment and chuckled: "It's true that the pants are a fig leaf, but as long as it is a profitable business, we don't steal it, and we don't rob it, why can't we do it?" As for the reputation below...... Hehe, all the old men are in charge outside, I just have ideas, but it's nothing, so I don't have to worry about it. β
When Gan Xinda heard Cui Wenqing's theory, he showed a thoughtful look, and sighed with a smile: "Uncle, you are informal, you are really unique!" β
In the next few days, Cui Wenqing stayed in the Dadu Governor's Mansion and did not go out, quietly thinking about dealing with Zheweiben's father and son.
Judging from the unscrupulous attitude of Zhen Wei at the celebration military banquet, I am afraid that the current situation of the Zhenwu Army is even worse than what Zhi Zhao said, and the Zhenwu Army and Zhi Zhao himself are all in danger.
And recently, Cui Wenqing learned that the reason why Zhe Weiben wants to seize Zhe Zhao's power has a lot to do with the situation in the DPRK.
Now the name of the emperor of Daqi is Chen Hong, but he is in his early thirties, and because of his young accession to the throne, the government has been controlled by the Empress Dowager Xie.
Empress Dowager Xie is a person who is in power, reusing relatives and preferring the youngest son of the Six Sages King, and there are rumors that the Empress Dowager Xie wants to abolish the current sage and set up the Six Sages King as the emperor.
Therefore, the situation in the DPRK and China has always been turbulent, and the imperial party headed by Wang Anshi, the Shangshu Ling, and Yang Wenguang, the privy envoy, has been fighting openly and secretly with the Empress Dowager represented by Sima Guang, the Zhongshu Ling.
Zhi Zhao is the granddaughter of Yang Wenguang, and the Zhi family and the Yang family have always shared weal and woe, so they are staunch supporters of the Imperial Party.
On the other hand, it is Empress Dowager Xie's cronies in the Zhenwu Army, and her political tendency is also to advocate the abolition.
Zhi Wei was able to be as stable as Mount Tai in the Zhenwu Army, and he also constantly challenged the authority of Zhi Zhao's commander, which inevitably did not have the contribution of Empress Dowager Xie.
"Originally, I only thought that the second uncle wanted to rob his niece's property, but I didn't expect that it involved a court dispute, and it was getting more and more complicated!"
After figuring out everything, Cui Wenqing sighed inexplicably.
At this moment, Lotus Ye ran into the room with a happy face, shook Cui Wenqing's arm and smiled: "Uncle, I have good news for you, Daddy has found a suitable store." β
"Oh, you've found it? Moving so fast? Cui Wenqing was a little surprised.
Lotus Ye nodded and smiled: "Of course, Daddy just sent someone to ask Uncle to go and have a look, if you are satisfied, he will rent it first." β
"Okay, let's go." Cui Wenqing was not ambiguous, and immediately took the lotus leaf and went out under the escort of Gan Xinda.
