Chapter 17 Seeking Cooperation
The next morning, Li Jingshan got off work, first went home to get a batch of Dragon Boat Festival embroidery embroidered by her mother, and when she sent it to the embroidery workshop, it happened that Zhang Qiaoyan was talking with a lady in gorgeous clothes and makeup. Seeing her coming, he clasped his palms and smiled, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived." Madam, the Dragon Boat Festival embroidery you want to order is exactly what our store cooperated with this girl. Now you can believe it, I can't sell you embroidery samples, but your order will be delivered on time. ”
The noble lady glanced at Li Jingshan, and then turned to her: "Girl, then you can say it, the three hundred sachets and three hundred handkerchiefs I want will be delivered in ten days." ”
With that, supported by the little maid beside him, he walked out of the store and got into a gorgeous carriage waiting at the door. Li Jingshan stood by the door and bowed to see her off, and when the noble lady walked by, a gust of incense blew in her face.
Li Jingshan was wondering, which lady of a high-ranking family is this, Zhang Qiaoyan has already come over, took her hand and said with a smile, "My sister Fang Cai also saw it, that is the housekeeper lady of the prefect's family, I like your Dragon Boat Festival embroidery very much, I want to order hundreds of sachets and handkerchiefs for the people in the house and socialize, this is a big deal, my sister will help you inherit it first." ”
Li Jingshan also heard the order number, and now when she heard that it was true, she didn't care about how much profit this business bringed, so she was so frightened that she said in fright: "Sister Zhang, I have to embroider 600 pieces of embroidery in ten days, and my mother just doesn't eat or sleep, and she can't hand over so many goods!" ”
Zhang Qiaoyan patted her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, your mother can't embroider alone, but what about ten or twenty people?" Can't you embroider it? ”
Li Jingshan suddenly understood and woke up: "What do you mean, let other embroiderers ......"
Zhang Qiaoyan nodded and smiled: "I came to you today to discuss this matter with you." Now your Dragon Boat Festival series of embroidery is in demand, and there is an endless stream of people who come to ask for goods, which is the time when the market is optimistic. If we can ship more goods, this is a lot of money. ”
"It's just that your mother alone can't do this purchase. So, I want to discuss with you, buy your pattern, and give it to other embroiderers to do. Take advantage of this festive season to produce a lot of goods. What do you think? ”
Li Jingshan was stunned, and the first thing she thought of was, wouldn't she and her mother return to the time when they had to make embroidery piecework? !
Zhang Qiaoyan has been in the mall for a long time, and she knew what she was thinking at a glance, and hurriedly said: "Naturally, the embroidery handed over by your family is still counted as consignment." And if you hand over the items for consignment, I can pay for them as soon as I receive them. In this way, you have an extra income from patterns. ”
Li Jingshan bowed her head and was silent, Zhang Qiaoyan saw that she seemed to be tempted, and continued: "I'll give you one or two pieces of silver for each pattern." What do you think? ”
Zhang Qiaoyan's price is not low.
The usual embroidery sample is only a hundred dollars a piece. The elaborate design is only three or four hundred dollars a piece. Now Zhang Qiaoyan has tripled as soon as he opens his mouth, and it is already because the embroidery of these Dragon Boat Festival patterns is now selling well, and it is sure that it can return to the capital. If the sales are not good in the later stage, she will also have to take risks.
Li Jingshan considered that an embroidered sachet or embroidered handkerchief could earn 20 yuan, and only that single order, a single sachet embroidered handkerchief could earn 12,000 yuan - a full twelve taels of silver! And it is obvious that the embroidery workshop is not only taking over this single business. And if he sells the pattern, all he gets is eight taels of silver......
Zhang Qiaoyan saw that Li Jingshan was still silent, slightly displeased, but still said with a pleasant face: "Sister, don't you think it's too little?" It's just that with my rights and responsibilities, I can only give so much, and I can't call the shots no matter how much. ”
Li Jingshan's mind suddenly flashed like lightning, and she looked up and smiled, "It's not too little." It's rare for my sister to be able to see my embroidery and embroidery patterns, and I also want to seek a long-term cooperation with Xiufang. I have a suggestion, tell my sister first, see if it works? ”
"What advice? You please. ”
Li Jingshan took out her painting book, handed it to Zhang Qiaoyan, and said: "Sister, please see, these are some embroidery samples I have painted, if my sister can see it, I can provide these patterns to Guixiufang, but not by the embroidery, but after the embroidery is made, I will share the profits according to the situation of the sale." For every piece of embroidery sold, I want to divide ...... Well, 30% of the profits. ”
Zhang Qiaoyan is so smart, she understands the key to this proposal as soon as she hears it, Li Jingshan maximizes the benefits of selling patterns, and if those designs sell better, she can get more. But at the same time, the risk is shared, if those embroidery products do not sell well, the show will not lose the silver to buy the pattern.
In fact, it is a win-win proposition. It's just that this share of the amount......
Zhang Qiaoyan pondered for a while and said with a smile, "Your proposal is excellent. It's just that I can't be the master of the major matters of cooperation, and I have to make decisions with the big treasurer. You wait here, I'll go and explain the matter to the owner right away. ”
After that, he told the guys in the store to deal with it first, and he hurried out to find the big shopkeeper.
------
Here, Li Jingshan was waiting for a reply in the show, and the carriage of the noble lady who had just left the shop and the housekeeper of the Fang Governor's house was stopping in front of a delicate tea house.
The steward Mrs. Chen was curling down from the car when she heard a hearty laugh, "I have heard that the internal government of the prefect Fang is well managed, in addition to Mrs. Fang's well-managed family, but also because she has a capable officer." Now that I see Mrs. Chen, she is as graceful and luxurious as her master, and her bearing is extraordinary. It's worthy of coming out of the prefect's house. ”
Chen Niangzi heard a lot of such compliments, but it was said by the young man in front of her who was handsome and extraordinary, and had a beautiful voice, which made people more useful. She put the jade hand into the palm of the young man's outstretched hand, and he helped her out of the car before smiling: "Young Master Ruan, you are from the capital, what celebrity and noble lady have never seen, but you came to make fun of the concubine." ”
"No, no," Ruan Mingyu raised an index finger and shook it in front of his eyes, his knuckled fingers were slender and delicate, his eyes were sparkling, and he smiled calmly: "The beauty of the noble girl in the capital is like the scorching sun, which makes people unable to open their eyes, so that people dare not get close; How can you be as gentle as a lady, like a spring breeze. ”
Rao is lady Chen is well-informed, and she was also coaxed by him and couldn't help laughing, "It's all Ruan Sanshao is a good person, this is really true." ”
The two of them were polite, entered the tea house, and the guests and hosts were seated, Ruan Mingyu personally lifted the teapot on the table, and made a cup of tea for Mrs. Chen according to the full set of tea ceremony, "The craftsmanship is not good, lest you lose your appetite, don't be surprised." ”
"Under Ruan Gongzi, there are still bad items?" Mrs. Chen took it with a smile, took a sip, and praised: "Fresh and sweet, but this year's new Longjing? ”
"Exactly!" Ruan Mingyu rubbed his hands, as innocent and excited as a child who had pleased his elders, leaned over slightly, and whispered to Mrs. Chen: "This is the new Meiling bud tip this year, and the water is also the plum blossom snow water that has been stored in winter, so that it can be boiled with such a sweet taste." I tell you, this is what I quietly agreed with our big shopkeeper, just to honor a beauty like you! ”
Mrs. Chen is already a half-old, and now she has a young, handsome and well-informed son, coaxed like this, and a flower blooms on her face with a smile. She patted Ruan Mingyu with the silk fan in her hand and said, "Just with your cup of tea, these words, if I can call the shots of your request, I will agree immediately." Just ......"
Ruan Mingyu's ears pricked up, knowing that the latter words were the point.
"It's just that the jewelry in our house has always been taken care of by the eldest lady. I'm just responsible for buying according to the order, which one to order, what style to use, I can propose two sentences at most, I can't be the master at all. ”
Mrs. Chen took a sip of tea lightly and said: "And the prefect's mansion has been ordered with Si Zhenfang for many years, and their family is a royal workshop, so they must have credibility and reputation, and they must have quality." I have no reason to persuade the eldest lady to give up the near and far and change your home. ”
Ruan Mingyu's eyes were dark, but the smile on his face became more and more kind, and the two shallow wine vortices at the corners of his mouth added affinity to that smile. He smiled: "I can save this, my mother uses a Baihuafang incense powder at home, and she hasn't changed it for more than ten years." If you can get the lady to occasionally say a word or two in front of the eldest lady, I will come out of this Meiling bud tip, and invite the lady to drink tea every day! ”
Chen Niangzi covered her lips with a fan and smiled, "This bud tip is so good, if you want to be accompanied by Ruan Gongzi every day, it is not easy." The concubine doesn't dare to be delusional. Okay, for this good tea, if I have the chance, I will also mention you to the eldest lady. He got up and took his leave.
Ruan Mingyu hurriedly held her hand and personally sent her to the carriage. Watching the carriage go away, the smile on Ruan Mingyu's face fell silent, leaving only the dark and bottomless in his eyes, and his handsome face looked cold and serious, just like the pompous son with a warm smile.
--------
In the embroidery village, Li Jingshan waited for about half an hour, and Zhang Qiaoyan really came back with the big shopkeeper. Li Jingshan hurriedly stood up and whispered hello.
The big shopkeeper nodded with a serious expression, Li Jingshan looked at him without smiling, but had a bit of the demeanor of her former master Xie Baizi, I don't know if it is the artists who are in the background here are so characterful. It's different from the wild and uninhibited artist style of her time. Thinking about it made me feel nervous.
The big shopkeeper naturally didn't know what she was teasing in her heart, so he only said lightly to her: "Your proposal Zhang Zhangshi told me, and I also read your sketch, the idea is good, and the sketch is good." I think this cooperation is feasible. ”
When Li Jingshan heard this, a big stone fell to the ground in her heart, and she was about to thank him happily, but she heard him say again: "It's just that some of the details need to be carefully considered......
Obedient and listening, Li Jingshan knew that this was the point, and her heart hung again.
