Chapter 361: Good Fortune Comes
If a person wants to become a talking point, if he is not stupid and incorrigible, he is too legendary.
As for the real boss, that's unspeakable.
Qin Xiang has transitioned into a legend in the small circle of the capital.
Mrs. Mo listened to the discussions of the people around her, and took a sip of rose tea with a smile. I believe that after today, the name of Mrs. Qin will definitely resound in the capital.
And those who were not invited did not know how to be ridiculed.
The next day, as Mrs. Mo thought, Mrs. Qin's three words had become the focus of everyone's discussion. Whether it's talking about her beauty and honor, or talking about how special the appreciation on the water side will be, it's more about talking about these materials that have never been seen before.
Like Mrs. Wang, there are many people who are not invited.
Not everyone has the capital to become a premium member, first of all, to reach a certain amount of consumption, and secondly, to be invited by the water side.
The two seem simple, but they are not easy. If you accumulate a certain amount, you can indeed get a membership card, but it is not a premium member, and you cannot enjoy some privileges.
At a banquet, Mrs. Mo showed off: "That senior member, don't you know? In fact, not many people have this card. Now it seems that there are many, but it is just a gathering of powerful people in the capital. What privileges? It's just the first thing to know about any new styles.
Haha, there are some styles that are not yet on the market, and they are also fortunate to be a person who wears them. Is there a closure service? What you don't understand. As a premium member, I have the right to make the whole store serve me. ”
So, everyone knew that the point of what Mrs. Mo said was not how great this card was, but in the latter sentence.
Who doesn't know that Mrs. Wang's real surname is Zhou, but she is a side branch of the Zhou family in Hancheng. Because of the marriage of the public, there is preferential treatment in the Zhou family's shop. Every time she comes to show off, she is afraid that people will not know her surname is Zhou.
is probably used to being powerful in the Zhou family, and he actually took this skill to Qin Ji and tossed it. As for the result? That's a big joke.
She couldn't get used to Mrs. Mo, so naturally she even had to slander Mrs. Mo's favorite shop. As for Mrs. Mo finally finding an opportunity, of course she had to laugh at Mrs. Wang fiercely.
After the appreciation meeting, those who didn't make it couldn't help but show envious expressions when they listened to those who had been there talk about their experiences. Among them, there is also Mrs. Wang. It's just that her performance is disdainful, and she doesn't want people to know that she actually wants to go in the slightest.
"Isn't it just an appreciation party, what's the big deal?" Mrs. Wang snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Who in the entire Xiyan doesn't know that the best fabric comes from Zhou Ji, and just one on the water side will bluff you?" If you say this, I don't know how many people will laugh at you for not knowing it, but it is the same thing as the village woman likes it. ”
Mrs. Wang targeted Mrs. Mo, and accidentally overturned a boatload of people.
The things of the weekly record are good, but what's the use of that? Zhou Ji only sells fabrics, it does not make ready-to-wear. How many people don't have any aesthetics, let alone know how to match. But they went to the water side, and they were taken care of from head to toe. Even ordinary guests can choose the right dress for themselves.
But what about the weekly diary? Don't say whether the fabric is good or not, but the service attitude is not good at all. The guys in the shop look down on people one by one, and they have to get angry every time they buy materials.
Some people quietly stayed away from Mrs. Wang, so as not to be infected by fools.
From the side, the appreciation meeting was a real success.
Soon, "Beauty" was published.
The whole magazine did a comprehensive analysis of this appreciation meeting, not only detailing the fabrics, but even several dresses that have not yet been on the market.
The women who bought the magazines all screamed at the beautiful dresses in the pictures, and their eyes were full of words that they wanted to buy them.
"Did you buy "Beauty"?"
"Bought it, bought it."
"Great! What's your giveaway? I'm here ...... Balabala."
"Mine is...... It's just right to swap with you. ”
Included in the issue are two palm-sized pieces of fabric, which is nothing unusual. But the two pieces of fabric are exquisitely made, and they have never been seen before. It's not enough to make a handkerchief out of such a small piece of fabric, but it's enough to make something delicate.
If you have the good craftsmanship, you will make a small sachet, stuff a bead of incense into it, and tie it around your waist, which is the most beautiful cub on the whole street.
Therefore, if you get the same style of fabric, you want to be able to exchange it with others. In this way, everyone can get a different type of fabric, and everyone is happy.
Mrs. Wang said that it was not good on the water side, and she also sent someone to secretly buy "Beauty".
Because the gifts given in this issue of the magazine were too valuable, the maids sent to buy them almost failed to complete this task.
"What kind of aya brocade is this?" Mrs. Wang twisted a thin piece of material, very unimpressed. She threw the fabric on the ground and walked into the house with disdain.
Only the little maid in the yard saw the piece of material, and her eyes lit up. After asking the grandmother, I quietly put away the materials.
Such a good material lady is lost? It has an extremely beautiful glow in the sun.
Ayaki Nishiki is expensive, and magazines don't come with it. Even if there were, it would be Europe.
Qin Xiang chose some more popular fabrics for the magazine. Those that appeared at the appreciation did not appear this time.
Otherwise, it is a lower style and easy to offend customers. This kind of business that loses money and makes money, she won't do it.
As for why the cloth is included with the magazine, it is to imitate the island country next door in the previous life. Of course, the effect pursued by Qin Xiang is different from that of the island country. 315 Chinese Network
The fact that Beauty is a color magazine means that its pricing is definitely not cheap. Poor people can't afford to consume it, but as long as they can afford magazines, they have the opportunity to enter her shop for a second time.
Those who are unable to consume will continue to buy magazines to enjoy themselves, which can also invisibly drive the magazine market.
Sales of both magazines have been surging recently, and not just in the Beijing area.
The printing house is located in Fucheng and is sold along the periphery. She has signed contracts with various bookstores, and she has no problem selling magazines. Even the Jiangnan region will enter her sales map.
Qin Xiang had only been exploring in the north before, and now it was time to move south.
The Zhou family is the first, but it will definitely not be the last.
"What I want to do is win-win cooperation, not a monopoly."
A hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending is the manifestation of progress, and closing the country to the outside world is definitely not conducive to development.
Qin Xiang didn't know that her little temptation had already opened up the situation for her when she didn't know.
The situation of the Zhou family's dominance has already made people in the textile industry unbearable. At this time, Qin Ji's textile factory came into being, and it could completely compete with the Zhou family, which had already made these people see hope.
It was under this circumstance that Wu Yong came to the Fucheng.
He was originally from Hancheng, and his family made a living by raising silkworms, and he was also a well-known silkworm farmer in the local area.
Since their ancestors, the Wu family has lived in the cold city. They excavated terraces on the mountain to plant patches of mulberry trees, and built silkworm houses. The Wu family does not weave cloth themselves, but only makes silk and silk quilts.
Their silk is of good quality, and no matter which weaving mill likes it.
At that time, there were already several good workshops in Hancheng, all of which had a few large looms.
The Wu family's silk does not worry about sales, and it is a well-known rich family in the local area. It was during this period that the Zhou family began to gain momentum, and step by step became the Zhou family in today's cold city.
The price of the Wu family's silk is right, and the cloth made is not only light and thin, but also has a good gloss, which is the best raw material for silk fabrics. And the fabrics of the Zhou family began to become famous, also because they have been using the silk of the Wu family.
The relationship between the two sides was originally a cooperative relationship, but as the Zhou family became bigger and bigger, after the establishment of the current Zhou Ji firm, everything quietly changed.
The Zhou family began to suppress the Wu family without a trace, and the mulberry fields in their hands became less and less, and the silkworm room was closed one after another. Today, it can only be regarded as barely sustaining.
It was at this time that the Zhou family came to the door and asked them to hand over the Wu family's recipe for raising silkworms.
The Wu family understood, no wonder the Wu family's life was getting worse and worse, because the Zhou family had been suppressing them. Just like the Chen family, the Zhou family robbed them of the secret recipe for survival, so that their wives were separated and their families were ruined.
The Wu family has no choice, if you don't pay it, you will die, and if you pay it, you will die.
can let them sum up the experience of their ancestors, and this recipe that has allowed their Wu family to continue to this day will be handed over to the Zhou family, and no one will be reconciled. Who will bow to their enemies? The Wu family was unwilling.
The Zhou family laughed and left, saying that they would regret it.
For the next two years or so, no one came to buy the Wu family's silk. Bundles of silk should only be carefully placed in the warehouse to avoid becoming moldy and brittle. They can't get out of the cold city, and they can't sell the silk in their hands.
The Wu family was about to compromise, and at this time, a textile factory suddenly opened in Hancheng.
At that time, weavers of all sizes in the cold city named their homes Weaving Workshop. Only the spacious courtyard, the tall and wide house, hung the words Qin Ji Textile Factory outside the courtyard gate.
In addition, they also put up notices to buy large quantities of silk.
Hancheng is the world of the Zhou family, and no one dares to fight against the Zhou family. All the silk on the market must be selected by the Zhou family, and these products will flow into the people.
No one dared to sell silk to textile factories, and many people wondered if the factory would not be able to open at this point.
But some people heard the sound of looms in the textile mills, and saw horses of cloth being loaded onto horse-drawn carts.
"Dad, I want to sell the silk in the warehouse to the textile factory."
At dawn on the second day, Wu Yong took people to transport his silk to the textile factory.
The luster of the silk that has been stored for two years is still the same, but because it is not the silk of the year, the price has been slightly reduced. But even so, the price is two points higher than that of the Zhou family.
Wu Yong staggered home with a bag of silver, and when he saw his parents' worried eyes and his grandfather's nervous expression, he cried suddenly.
Then, after coming to Fucheng and seeing the larger-scale textile factories and various factories of Qin Ji, he decided to go north.
"That's what you're here for?"
Qin Xiang handed over the business of Hancheng to Zhang Xiaoyu, but he didn't expect that someone would bypass him to find the door.
"You want to work with me?"
Wu Yong looked at the unusually beautiful woman in front of him, swallowed his saliva and said nervously, "I...... I can give you the Wu family's sericulture technology, I just ask you to ......"
