"What? How can there be no stock? I remember that we didn't have a lot of inventory before, and you were still worried about the problem of unsalable? He An's expression changed greatly when he heard this.

Next is the Begging Festival, if they can't solve the inventory problem, then the Begging Festival will be a big loss.

"In addition to praying for good craftsmanship, the women of this begging festival will definitely buy a lot of skin care products, but now that I have counted the inventory, I find that the skin care products we have left now can support the use of the beggar festival store." Shi Yingqiu's face changed greatly.

He An's face was incredulous when she heard this, and she hurriedly took the account book from Shi Yingqiu's hand.

When the crackling sound of the abacus sounded in his ears, it didn't take long for He An to calculate a number.

But when he saw that number, He An's face changed suddenly.

"The two of us are patronizing to do big business, completely forgetting that there is such a thing, there may be no better way than to work overtime at the moment, fortunately, I have already opened the workshop a few days ago, so now as long as those workers work overtime, we should still be able to catch up, as for the goods of the merchants of the Western Regions, we can also hurry up and slowly drive him out." He An said as he lowered his head and pondered on the paper.

After calculating for a long time, she can be regarded as a more secure way.

Shi Yingqiu held his chin with both hands, looking melancholy.

"Seriously, I thought that the two of us could make a lot of money now, but I didn't expect that this big profit hadn't been made yet, but we had a lot of troubles first." Shi Yingqiu said with a painful face.

What is this like? It's like dying before you get out of school.

Just won a big business, and you have to face a lot of problems.

"I think you should recalculate the problem of whether our raw materials are enough at the moment, those aloe vera and other things need to be fresh, because they need freshness, quality and quantity, so we didn't buy too much when we bought them before." Shi Yingqiu stared at the ledger from a distance and said.

After hearing Shi Yingqiu's words, He'an immediately lowered his head and recalculated the raw materials they needed.

Sure enough, after the calculation, He'an, whose face was not very good, is now even more gloomy.

"I really didn't expect that we would need so many raw materials, and now the only way is to go out and buy on a large scale, but if we buy on a large scale, it is likely to lead to uneven quality, which may affect our reputation." He An said sadly.

Money has to be earned, and word of mouth can't be smashed, otherwise it will be equivalent to lifting a stone and hitting one's own feet.

This doesn't work, it doesn't work, everything is like falling into a dead end, and you can't get out no matter how you go.

"I thought that there are a lot of aloe vera in the backyard of the palace, all of which are good Curacao varieties, why don't we go and pull out all the aloe vera first, and then do it in the beauty salon recently, as for the rest, you are looking for someone to buy it slowly, how about it?" Shi Yingqiu's hand swiped the rice paper one by one, and the other hand supported his head, blinking his eyes and asking.

"It's okay." He An nodded and said.

She had seen those aloe vera before, the quality was not bad, and it also met their standards, and the most important thing was that it was planted in the backyard of the palace, and there was no need to pay for it with anyone, saving a lot of costs.

The two of them said they would do it, Shi Yingqiu organized people here to cut down all the aloe vera in the palace, and over there, He'an had also organized a lot of people to go out and buy things like aloe vera milk pearl powder on a large scale.

However, on the third day, He'an hit a bottleneck.

"The first two days of the purchase was normal, but on the third day, the prices of various merchants increased all of a sudden." He An said unhappily.

After Shi Yingqiu heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the person opposite: "Could it be because our large-scale acquisition two days ago attracted their attention?" ”

"I don't think so, even if it is a price increase caused by our acquisition that has attracted their attention, it will not increase so much at once, at most it will be three percent or three percent." He An said as he flipped through the ledger in his hand.

Because of the price increase of those merchants, they are now able to recover a lot less raw materials.

"So what's going to be done? The first two days of acquisition are only enough for half a month's use at most. Shi Yingqiu sighed, she hadn't counted the orders for those merchants in the Western Regions.

"I think you have to think about something even worse now, when I went out today, there were still many merchants from the Western Regions who came to me and proposed to cooperate with us." He An got up and walked to Shi Yingqiu's side, took a brush and gently counted a few numbers on the rice paper.

Those numbers mean the amount of production and raw materials they need in the near future.

Shi Yingqiu didn't think about it, and bought all these aloe vera, but this key problem will cause their costs to rise too fast, and whether they can make a profit at that time is a question, and they will even face losses.

"If it really doesn't work, we might as well go into the palace and ask the Queen Mother for a favor." He An suddenly thought of the Queen Mother.

If the Queen Mother comes forward to buy these things as a royal family, then these people will not dare to increase so much even if the price increases.

"We haven't entered the palace to see the queen mother much during this time, so there are all kinds of things in the palace, will it not be good?" Shi Yingqiu looked at He An worriedly and asked.

But that's the only way they can do it now.

"If you don't want to watch the business in your hands be ruined like this, I think this is the best way now, as for the back of this matter, it is estimated that many people are secretly watching, so even if you want to ask the queen mother for help, you can't make too much fanfare." Shi Yingqiu reminded.

However, before the two of them had time to enter the palace, the Queen Mother suddenly sent someone over.

"The Queen Mother said that there were some things in the palace recently, and she couldn't use them up, so she called them to be sent to the two masters for the two masters to use." As he spoke, the eunuch ordered several large boxes to be opened.

The big box contained all the materials they needed now.

didn't expect the Queen Mother to send these things over at this time, Shi Yingqiu could be said to be ecstatic.

"Thank you Queen Mother, I never thought that Queen Mother would send us these things at this time!" Shi Yingqiu said happily.

Seeing the two of them so happy, the eunuch also smiled: "Two masters, the Queen Mother said that if you encounter such a thing in the future, you can go directly to Niangniang, and Niangniang will solve it for you." ”

"This is also because things are too sudden, we thought that we could solve it with our own strength, but we never thought that we couldn't solve it smoothly, and we were really embarrassed to bother my mother." He An said politely with embarrassment.

After the father-in-law said that it was okay, he saw that there was nothing else, so he took his leave first.

Shi Yingqiu was very happy holding the box of things.

"Don't be in a hurry to be happy, I think they have already done it, and they will definitely do it again, after all, they will never give up when they don't end the begging festival, or if they don't break us down." He An thought about it slightly and said.

Shi Yingqiu raised her eyebrows, if someone wants to fix themselves, then the best way is to let them suffer the consequences.

"What do you think will happen if we go to those merchants now and raise the price?" Shi Yingqiu looked at the people around him with a smile and asked.

He An smiled: "This method is good, when the time comes, we will have the queen mother behind us to help us purchase these things, and the royal people dare not make a price casually, but as for these people, it is not easy to say." ”

For a small amount of silver, they could get the merchants to keep the price higher.

"Come on, you give the money, I'll do the work, and the two of us will work together." As He An spoke, he stretched out his hand towards Shi Yingqiu.

Seeing He'an's hand, Shi Yingqiu was a little puzzled: "What are you doing?" You don't have any money yourself! ”

What a joke she can manage the books of the big shopkeeper.

"Although I am the shopkeeper of the beauty salon, after all, you are the boss, and the money should naturally be kept by the boss." He An looked at Shi Yingqiu with a smile and said.

When she heard this, Shi Yingqiu rolled her eyes in her heart, no matter when He'an always had her own reason.

She took out a silver ticket from her purse and handed it to He'an on the other side.

"Now those merchants can receive two portions of money, so that their goods will not be lost to those who can sell to the royal family, and they will have two more incomes, and there is no reason to be unhappy." He An rubbed the silver ticket, thought for a while and said: "It's just a pity, after the other small traders raised the price, I'm afraid that even they can't afford it, and they have lost so much money for no reason, and they haven't been able to bring us down, so I think they will be so angry that they vomit blood when the time comes." ”

This is not something that Shi Yingqiu can manage, the only thing they can do now is to take revenge and complain.

After He An took the silver ticket, he left the beauty salon quickly, as if he wanted to deliberately see them ugly, and there were many more people going back and forth outside the beauty salon recently.

And the begging festival is coming soon, rush to the beauty salon to order a package, and there are not a few people who want to do beauty.

But Shi Yingqiu still doesn't refuse to come here, which makes those who secretly do their own things behind their backs a little confused.

"Their raw materials should have been exhausted a long time ago, so why would they not refuse to come?" Several noble ladies said suspiciously in the teahouse.
