Chapter 143: Yan Sulan cheats
The shark yarn mill is not in a hurry to open.
The first time Chu Yue saw Yan Sulan after returning was on the third day after the plaque of the shark yarn workshop was hung up.
Today's Xie family is located in the middle of the city, and they bought a three-entry courtyard very high-profile, naturally they are still respected by the old lady and the old man, but the power of the family is still in the hands of the big house.
I heard that since I moved to Nanzhou City, the second room is like the nouveau riche in Chuyue's cognition.
Especially the second uncle, day and night nostalgic fireworks Willow Lane, Pingning at home is always crying, and the whole second room is flying chickens and dogs. He kept his promise and didn't take a concubine, but he simply didn't go home, and he bought a drunken green house almost every day, which was really unhappy.
The second aunt has long been used to it, and she doesn't care about him, just take care of her in-laws, and the Xie family has her own place.
Pingning is different, she is a concubine and is not taken seriously. The second uncle has long been tired of her crying every day, so he doesn't like to go to her the most. is to go home, but also to fall into the gentle countryside of other concubines, and to snub Pingning.
Pingning was going to the old man and the old lady to have a quarrel in the third or second day, and she was very reluctant to let the second uncle divorce her. In the end, he still took a fancy to the current Xie family, and suddenly had money, so he was naturally reluctant to leave.
The days of the second room were lively, and the big room was not idle.
Today's big house is a thriving figure in Nanzhou City, relying on the method of cultivating pearls they developed in the early moon, suppressing those small retail investors who are not as good as them, making a lot of money, and almost monopolizing the pearl business in Nanzhou.
Uncle wears bright clothes every day, and eats and drinks outside. And it is very rare to accept a concubine under the matchmaking of the second room, although Yan Sulan is unhappy, but the concubine room is also obedient, and she asks Yan Sulan every day, beating her back and pinching her legs, and occasionally she can coax Yan Sulan to be happy.
Yan Sulan, as the leader at home and abroad, naturally has enough of her own shelves. is a noble lady who makes friends outside, and she can be regarded as a famous figure in Nanzhou City.
On the third day of the first month, when the sign of their shark yarn shop was hung on the door, she came.
Surrounded by a group of noble ladies, she is very different from the past: wearing a purple and silver threaded Su embroidered auspicious cloud and a hundred flowers skirt, wearing a set of gold tassels on her head, her face is white, and she is very beautiful.
said that she was called, but in fact, she was also very curious about the shark yarn workshop. In front of the brand, I turned around and asked, and when I saw that the sturgeon was polite, I thought it had nothing to do with me, so I enthusiastically left my own address, so that the sturgeon had time to go to the house to play.
When it came, he also gave a bracelet to save gold to the sturgeon, which looked very generous.
Yuan Sturgeon knew the relationship between her, Chu Yue and Xie Siyun, but she was also calm. The kind words coaxed her to be happy, and let her publicize the shark yarn shop among those noblewomen, saying that their shark yarn workshop has rare clothes and materials in the world, and invite everyone to come and cheer when it opens ten days later. The words are complete, Yan Sulan is naturally their "living advertisement".
This short meeting was just that Chu Yue unilaterally saw Yan Sulan.
During the ten days, Chuyue placed advertisements as when the Fat Mill was first established, especially emphasizing that the clothes of their Shark Yarn Mill are rare in the world, and there are some precious fabrics that are not the same as this one.
All of a sudden, the people of the entire Nanzhou City seemed to be discussing this mysterious shark yarn workshop.
On the government side, they have already paid a large amount of taxes in the early month, which can be regarded as appeasement. In addition, there is Jing Lixin, but no one is difficult for them.
At the beginning of the month, they roughly sorted out the goods they had: the skein was completely sufficient, and this time they had taken almost all the inventory of skein on the Spirit Tomb Island. Moreover, two teams of thirty trustworthy people were specially arranged to open a sea passage between Spirit Tomb Island and Nanzhou City, to send food and things that the islanders needed to the island, and change them into new skeins, at least for now, they do not need to worry about the supply of goods.
Pearls were also completely sufficient, and some of the remaining women, under the leadership of the sturgeon, soon settled in Nanzhou City, and were responsible for decorating the pearls on the skein according to the patterns given by the early moon and the sturgeon. In this way, not only the quantity of their goods is sufficient, but also the variety is very rich.
The first day of opening was just a soft opening, and the cloth village was not like a rouge gouache factory, they didn't need to set up all kinds of private rooms, so they just needed to put things on the table.
Chuyue roughly divides the shark yarn mill into two areas: as soon as you enter the door, there is a pure pigment or only a few simple patterns of hank, which she is relatively cheaper and mainly aimed at those middle-class customers.
Further inside, there is a hank with intricate patterns and various pearls falling. The price of this kind of hank is not affordable for people who are not wealthy.
Moreover, even for the lowest grade of plain hank, the price set at the beginning of the month was ten times the price of the most expensive silk on the market. The discount for the first seven days of trial opening is 20% off, and such a high price is definitely enough to dissuade many people.
But Hatsuki's idea is simple: first, hank is not a necessity, Hatsuki is to sell it as a luxury item. Since it is a luxury item, it is natural to set the price higher. And even if ordinary people can't afford it, it won't affect their daily use.
Second, hank is already rare. At least what Chuyue can guarantee is that at this stage, only their shark yarn mill has it. Even so, the early moon set this skein at a sky-high price, and others can't say anything.
Such a high price made Yao Qingyan startled, but praised Chuyue for having business acumen: "Such a high price looks daunting in the eyes of ordinary people, but those who are really rich don't care." And the price is so high, it will easily attract the attention of people in Beijing. The road you are going to take is the road of the imperial merchants! β
She saw it!
Chuyue's ambition is here: since she has a chance to ascend to the sky, she has to try her skills!
Seeing that the preliminary preparations were done, on the day of the opening, Chuyue specially asked Yao Qingyan to invite some people from Lepingzhai to come over as "security guards": although Jing Lixin is there, others probably don't dare to cause anything, but it's always right to make more preparations. If she loses one of these goods, she will lose one less, and she doesn't want to lose a single one!
In order to make the goods sold more interesting, the early moon of that day gave a sturgeon and his companions a dress made of hank yarn to each of them in the store. The guys wore plain colors, and the sturgeon wore pearls directly.
The whole store is lit up, and it is full of light and beautiful for a while.
As soon as the door of the store opened, I saw people outside rushing inβincluding the second and fourth rooms of the Xie family's big house.
There was no Xie Shen, which made Chu Yue's heart slightly sour.
Yan Sulan of the Xie family was generous, and directly dragged the second and fourth rooms into the inner room.
At first, they were amazed and praised that the hank was really something unique.
But soon, Yan Sulan pulled a hank with pale yellow pearls on it, looked carefully, seemed to notice something unusual, and as soon as her face changed, she called the sturgeon: "Where did you come from?" β
Yuan Sturgeon had already been prepared, and seeing Yan Sulan like this, he only wrote lightly: "I'm sorry, this is a secret in our shop." I don't think your Xie family will tell others about such a secret thing as how to cultivate pearls, right? β
Yan Sulan looked at the young sturgeon, so she simply turned cold, and threw the skein on the sturgeon: "Now the whole Nanzhou is using my Xie family's pearls." You've put these rare colored beads on your clothes? This colored bead can't be cultivated, you tell me where it came from, otherwise I will definitely sue you to the Chamber of Commerce! β
Yuan Sturgeon felt sorry for the skein, but just squeezed the skein in his hand: "I want to ask, what reason do you want to sue me to the Chamber of Commerce?" β
There are more and more people around them.
Yan Sulan snorted coldly and straightened her chest: "Before January, the Chamber of Commerce passed the agreement. The pearls in Nanzhou must be sold through the hands of my Xie family, if I sue you to the Chamber of Commerce, how do you guess the Chamber of Commerce will punish you? β
The sturgeon was not annoyed, but just smiled slightly, and then looked at the noble ladies around him: "Do you hear me?" The price of the pearls in your hands has almost doubled compared to before, and it is exactly what the Xie family did! β
These ladies seem to be friendly with Yan Sulan on weekdays, but in fact, they have long been impatient with her in their hearts. Now that I heard that the sturgeon was so provocative, I naturally wanted to whisper about it.
Yan Sulan didn't expect Yuan Sturgeon to be able to say this to others.
also became more and more anxious: "You...... Don't sow discord here! We're talking about pearls now, and you don't want to mess with me! β
Yuan Sturgeon was not afraid, she had already had the instructions of Chu Yue, she just looked directly into Yan Sulan's eyes: "If I hadn't obtained the consent of the Chamber of Commerce, would I have been able to sell things here for nothing?" You can go and sue, anyway, I have heard of your Xie family's domineering and selfish reputation. Just go and buy the hank in your hand before you go to sue you. No one has to think that your lady of the Xie family came to me to find fault because she couldn't afford this expensive skein with pearls! β
Chu Yue looked at it above, and she was about to applaud the distant sturgeon: she didn't know who she learned from because she was angry.
Yan Sulan was angry for a while, and simply got into a fight with the sturgeon: "I just don't pay, can you help me and?!" β
Yuan Sturgeon shrugged his shoulders, but his eyes looked at the crowd: "Everyone has seen it, it was Mrs. Xie who said that she would not pay me." If it really gets to the court at that time, I will make a decision for me! For all of you who are in charge of me, I am also in charge of today's skein, and I will give you one less point! β
