Seeing that the two of them were thoughtful, Qiao Lixi made persistent efforts, "In terms of strength, we have, but in terms of background, we are not necessarily stronger than 'Shu Embroidery Building', if it weren't for this opportunity this year, the imperial merchants of Shu Jin may not be able to take the turn of our Qiao family, knowing themselves and knowing that they will not be defeated in a hundred battles, it is also good for us to explore the truth and reality." ”

Qiao Jinwen didn't agree with Qiao Yixi's words very much.

Background?

Who has a bigger background than the Three Princes?

However, there is one thing Qiao Yixi said right, the other party can do such a big business in the capital, and it is not possible to do it without a little access and background.

It's better to find out who the other person is.

If it is the Three Princes, everyone will be partners in the future, and if it is not the Three Princes, everyone will be political enemies in the future.

With this realization, the group arrived at the main street.

Zhengjie is the main road of the Beijing market, and those who can open shops here are not enough to have money, and they can't squeeze in without a door.

"This 'tea ceremony' is the best tea house in the capital, and like us, it is also an imperial businessman, all along, no one knows the owner of the 'tea ceremony', only knows that the tribute tea that goes out from here is the emperor's favorite, that is, the concubines with status in the palace do not get much every year, and they are worth half a catty."

"So expensive?" Qiao Yi asked in surprise.

Qiao Jinwen nodded, "It's just that I voted for the emperor's favor, so the tide is rising, and the ladies in the palace are also touting the tea here so much to please the emperor, not necessarily as good as the tea in southern Sichuan." ”

Not really.

Qiao Yixi nodded secretly.

This "tea ceremony" is Zhong Chenglin's, she was still drinking tea here yesterday, no, drinking honey water.

It's just that I didn't expect that Zhong Chenglin had already made the tea business so big. Think about it, with Uncle Gu's big Buddha in charge, if you don't do business in the palace, I'm really sorry for Uncle Gu's ability.

It's just that......

Qiao Yixi frowned.

Why did Uncle Gu do business in the palace?

Is it because the emperor is the richest man in the world, and for the sake of military spending, he has done business in front of the big rich, or is it because of something else?

So what is this "other"?

Is that the one she thinks?

Before he could think through it, the carriage stopped.

"Let's walk over there." Qiao Jinwen said to the two.

The main street is spacious, and the security is very good, it is precisely because there are the most background and richest businessmen in the capital gathered here, so Qiao Jinwen simply took a look at each other, and had a number in her heart, in the future, when the Qiao family opened a store in the capital, she would be able to make suggestions.

In the end, Shang Jia was born, and the three-and-a-half-year-old children went all the way, with a vicious eye, and did not let go of any detail.

After looking at three stores in a row and leaving the store, Qiao Jinwen sighed with emotion: "The merchants in the capital are indeed powerful, and their vision and ability are much more powerful than those of Jincheng. ”

"If you really want to talk about the quality of the goods, in fact, Jincheng and the capital are almost the same, but the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many nobles, and there is no money, and the same goods can be sold three times more in the capital. As for vision and ability, these are things that need to be tempered, there are many nobles in the capital, everything needs to be more than one heart, and the world must be smooth enough, and after a lot of experience, the eyesight and ability will naturally be practiced, which I am not very worried about. Qiao Yi said confidently.

Qiao Jinwen nodded and said, "What the second brother said is that when we invite people, we only need to pay more attention, and these are not problems." ”

The two brothers and sisters talked as they walked, ignoring Qiao Lixi beside them, but a few dozen meters away, they talked to themselves about the Qiao family's new store.

"That's the 'Shu Embroidery Building'?" Standing on the corner of the street, Qiao Jinwen proudly raised her chin at the two-story shop opposite.

To say that you are not jealous is false.

Such an embroidery building, looking at the entire capital, I am afraid that it is a unique one, not to mention anything else, just to get a shop on the main street, or this kind of two-story shop, even if there are three princes to help, the Qiao family may not be able to get it.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jinwen finally had a serious attitude towards "Shu Embroidery Building".

If it's an alliance, it's fine, but if it's a political enemy, it's too tricky.

She didn't think that the Qiao family could easily bring down the "Shu Embroidery Building", and it was best to avoid it. However, if the owner of the "Shu Embroidery Building" is also secretly supporting the financial resources of a certain prince, then it is only a matter of time before the Qiao family and the "Shu Embroidery Building" face each other.

That's the trouble.

The strength of the Qiao family in the capital is not as good as the "Shu Embroidery Building", no matter how good the things are, it will take time to make a reputation in the noble circle, and the Qiao family can't afford to wait.

I entered the building with a heavy heart.

Compared with Qiao Jinwen's worries, Qiao Yixi was obviously much more relaxed.

Standing in the doorway, she took a small look.

The façade of "Shu embroidery building" is very large, the surrounding three shops add up, it is barely the same as the area of "Shu embroidery building", and "Shu embroidery building" is two floors up and down, and the backyard is also divided into two parts, one part is to entertain special distinguished guests, and the other part is the place where the clerk rests.

The shop has been carefully decorated, but it is not the kind of golden light, eye-catching shining, the tone of the whole shop is dark, in the corner of the table, the cabinet feet and other inconspicuous places are depicted with gold edges, low-key luxury, not showing mountain dew, extraordinarily calm.

This is the steady style that famous families and century-old families like, and it is also the sleek style appreciated by the officials of the DPRK and China.

The style of the shop represents the style of the owner, and what customers will attract is the taste of the customer.

At this point, "Shu Embroidery Building" is quite powerful.

The things that "Shu embroidery building" operates are naturally related to Shu brocade and Shu embroidery.

The "Shu Brocade" here is definitely not as good as the Qiao family, after all, the Qiao family is authentic, Qiao Yixi, as a layman pretending to be an insider, followed Qiao Yi and Qiao Jinwen to look at a few Shu brocades at random, and didn't see any way, but Qiao Yi and Qiao Jinwen spoke in a low voice.

"The handiwork is good, and the quality is better than that of ordinary Shu brocade." When she said this, Qiao Jinwen was extremely heavy.

If it weren't for the secret recipe in the hands of the Qiao family, which improved the flaws in the details of the workmanship of Shu brocade, from the quality of Shu brocade alone, the "Shu embroidery building" could completely compete with the Qiao family!

"I estimate that the owner of 'Shu Embroidery Building' is from Shuzhou." Qiao Yi also looked serious, "Only the textile workers in Shuzhou have such craftsmanship, you see, this is obviously the craft of Shuzhou, and only the real Shujin workers know the details." ”

Qiao Yi pointed to the knot of Shu Jin and whispered to Qiao Jinwen.

This is the unique textile technique of Shu brocade, and it is also the place where Shu brocade is different from other silk brocades, and only the profound Shu brocade weavers can make it.

"Second brother, who do you think it will be?" Qiao Jinwen asked directly.

Qiao Yixi stood aside secretly, looking at Qiao Yi with hatred.

Qiao Yi pondered for a few seconds and analyzed: "There are several situations, the first is that the owner of the 'Shu Embroidery Building' is from Shuzhou, so he is so familiar with Shu Jin. However, here's the problem, in Shuzhou, our Qiao family is the first person in Shujin who is the only one, and the other party directly crossed us and quietly fought such a world in the capital, which is too powerful. ”

Truly.

Qiao Jinwen had to face up to Qiao Yi's words.

The owner behind the "Shu Embroidery Building" directly gave up Shuzhou and planned in the capital, how much courage does this take?

Businessmen have always been cautious, not to mention giving up familiar places, developing on other people's territory, that is, on their own territory, opening a branch has to plan and plan.

"Moreover, what I care about the most is that if the owner of 'Shu Xiulou' is from Shuzhou, and he has developed so well in the capital, we don't know anything, either the other party is low-key and has no desire, or it is deliberate."

"With such a big business, how can there be no desire? So, it must be deliberate, it's just that I don't understand, what is the other party's deliberately low-key for? Or is it that from the very beginning, the other party's goal is the capital? ”

The more the brother and sister talked, the more contradictory they became, and the more unclear they became.

"It's possible," Qiao Yi said, "Before, because of Shu Dao, it was inconvenient to transport things out of Shuzhou, although there were also Shu brocade merchants doing business outside, but no one had ever made the business so big and so influential. We have no news from Jincheng at all, so from the very beginning, the target of the other party is the capital. ”

Jincheng?

Hehe, I'm sorry.

The other party never took the Qiao family in Jincheng in his eyes.

Being ignored by opponents is the most intolerable thing for Qiao Yi!

"Then, there is another possibility," Qiao Yi said slowly, "The owner of this shop is from the capital, and he hired a weaver from Shu brocade at a high price. ”

Therefore, the two talked for a long time, but they didn't get to the point, but the brother and sister are more inclined to the latter possibility, after all, when you treat each other as opponents seriously, but you don't get into each other's eyes at all, this feeling is very bad.

The group went up to the second floor.

The second floor is the VIP room.

Those who can go up to the second floor are all people with a little bit of identity and face.

The decoration on the second floor is a bit more elaborate than on the first floor.

Qiao Jinwen asked the guy to take out the album and carefully selected.

Qiao Yixi leaned her head over.

Therefore, the mind of a businessman must not be underestimated.

The album is divided into two parts.

Part of it is Shu brocade.

A small sample of each category is pasted on the album for customers to choose from, so that customers can carefully distinguish the quality and choose the color and style after selecting the grade.

The other part is Shu embroidery.

Each embroidery pattern is printed on the album, and the color of the embroidery pattern can be changed or redesigned according to the customer's requirements.

Shu embroidery building, since it is called embroidery building, Shu brocade is naturally not the focus, the focus is on Shu embroidery.

Because, to be precise, "Shu Embroidery Building" is actually a ready-to-wear store.

Moreover, only Shu embroidery is used to make ready-to-wear.

Scarcity is expensive.

Shu embroidery is famous, because of the relationship between Shu Dao and various objective factors, Shu embroidery has been priceless for a long time. Shu embroidery is exquisite, and the folk are not without Shu embroidery, but those are low-grade and do not conform to the identity of nobles. Therefore, when the "Shu Embroidery Building" opened, the nobles in the capital flocked to it, and actually guided a wave of trends, and by the way, the popularity of the "Shu Embroidery Building" was launched.

So, that's the right time, the right place!

Qiao Lixi also had to sigh: Good luck.
