As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. After everyone present opened their mouths to discuss the matter, Zhang Qingting's eyes quickly put away that trace of doubt, and there were only more doubts left! However, this doubt is very different from his doubt, and now she is just surprised that this Qiao Ergong has recruited such strange talents, it is really useful to have one or two!
Let's talk about this Bao Shiming first, nicknamed Bao Inquiring, he is famous in the capital, and he is familiar with the nine sects within this radius. If you ask him which alley in the capital has a beautiful girl and which one hides an underground casino, he can come with you with his fingers. Don't look at him who is five big and thick, and he always giggles and doesn't seem to be serious, in fact, his head is more alive than anyone else, and he has more eyes, but he is not just an ordinary head of the village, it is more than enough to be a shopkeeper wherever he goes.
The brothers of the Yan family are very quiet and silent, but they are thoughtful, and they can hit the nail on the head when they say occasionally. For example, when it comes to doing this ready-to-wear business, they are most afraid of people copying it, so the two brothers put forward a very good suggestion, "Since it is a fixed size, it is better to cut the clothes, for example, someone only cares about the placket, and someone only cares about embroidery, which not only allows them to do it faster, but also prevents some people from leaking out our samples without permission." ”
Zhang Qingting secretly wondered in his heart when he heard this, it seems that this person who really practices martial arts well will never be an elm pimple. Fang Cai really underestimated them, thinking that they were just bodyguards and the like, but I didn't expect that they could still have such thoughts.
As for that Jiang family, it's even more amazing. She only glanced at a few clothes designed by Zhang Qingting in the past, and she was able to accurately tell the fabric and needlework method of each one. Some patterns Zhang Qingting only knows, but she can accurately distinguish the origin of each suit and the several other patterns it extends.
Zhang Qingting was greatly embarrassed, fortunately he had foresight before, and expected that his level was just a frog at the bottom of the well, so he didn't show off wantonly, and offered to invite some people who really knew how to come back. Otherwise, if she really comes to a big expert like this, she will be embarrassed and thrown to her grandmother's house.
In the end, although Jiang was cold and outspoken, it was rare that he did not criticize her many masterpieces too much, but praised lightly, "There are two things that are quite interesting." ”
Zhang Qingting was already very satisfied. As for the origin of this eldest sister, it is still unknown. However, just listening to her knowledge of the weaving, weaving, embroidery, and color matching of the north and the south is by no means an ordinary embroiderer.
As for the Jade Tea Sect Master, don't look at his young age, but he has been a Taoist priest in the Tianyi Temple, the most famous temple in Bei'an, for fourteen years.
Since he was a monk, since he was seven years old, he was responsible for cleaning the most noble and mysterious royal inner hall in the Tianyi Temple for ten years. Coming to Tianyi Temple to worship and pray for blessings is almost the only opportunity for all the concubines and nobles in the palace to get in touch with the outside world for a short time, so the importance of this little-known Taoist servant can be imagined.
In the entire capital, almost all the dignitaries and nobles did not dare to easily offend any of the Taoist leaders in the Tianyi Temple. And this little Taoist with clear and transparent eyes and a gentle and harmless appearance is the object of competition among many wealthy families. No one knows how many wealthy secrets he has in his hands, and there are hidden things in the palace. The breadth of his connections should be staggering, right? Zhang Qingting secretly guessed, besides, listening to the conversation of this little Taoist, his identity would not be as simple as just a miscellaneous servant, otherwise why would Qiao Zhongda find him?
However, this cannot be asked. Everyone here seems to have their own past that cannot be touched, and between them and Qiao Zhongda, they are not like masters and servants, but more like Gao Yi, who will come together for some common purpose. However, just after meeting, Zhang Qingting didn't think that others should pour beans from a bamboo tube, and talk openly and honestly.
Everyone has their own reasons for doing things. There is a fate to get together, but there is no fate to separate. Since everyone is now willing to do things together, it is enough for her to do her part and do her part. Presumably Qiao Zhongda knows the truth very well, right? After talking about business, he didn't stay long, and he was really a gentleman's friendship as light as water, neither lazy nor polite.
When Zhang Qingting finally walked out of this room, he was shocked to find that the sky had already darkened, and he only remembered that he had eaten dim sum twice in it, but he didn't expect most of the day's work to pass in the blink of an eye.
Taking a deep breath of the crisp evening breeze, Zhang Qingting stretched out his fingers and gently rubbed the sore yang acupoint, and his whole head seemed to be squeezed empty. With these people, there is no room for a little bit of hidden power, they are all people who really do things, Qiao Zhongda also blew the wind with the rest of the people before, and everyone came prepared. Even if there were some arguments, it was a few clean and neat rounds to settle the matter. After the big cabinet was decided, everyone assigned a specific messenger and went to work.
"Let's go!" Greeted Bi Tao, who had been guarding outside, Zhang Qingting got in the car and went home. Shang Bitao had the heart to inquire a few words, but it could be seen that she looked tired, so she didn't open her mouth very interestingly.
Until the front of the house, Zhang Qingting explained to her, "It's late tonight, I'm really tired, please help me make amends in front of the old lady, and tomorrow will come over in person to explain to her in the morning." ”
Bi Tao went back to her life, and Zhang Qingting was really tired, even if she went back to her own courtyard, she didn't want to talk. She also had injuries on her body, and she fell asleep after taking the medicine. just muttered to Zhao Chengcai, "It's really not easy to make money!" ”
Zhao Chengcai smiled instead, "Is it the first time you know?" If it is easy to make money, then the money that comes will not be serious. Look at your face, go to sleep! ”
Early the next morning, Zhang Qingting, who had recuperated his spirits, went to Mrs. Meng. When she invited Mrs. Meng, she took away all the subordinates, and seeing that no outsiders were present, Zhang Qingting stopped playing tricks, and made amends first, "Old lady, I didn't get your consent yesterday, so I took it upon myself to take charge of something, don't be angry when you hear it, but you will understand after listening, I am also for the sake of this business to be better." ”
You've cut it first and then played, what else do I have to pursue? Mrs. Meng only said, "Speak quickly!" ”
Those that shouldn't be said, Zhang Qingting didn't mention a word, only mentioned the vital interests of the Meng Mansion, "We want to do this business, and there will be many places that rely on Second Master Qiao's efforts in the future." The cloth alone has to rely on him on credit. If you want to become bigger, this hired worker hires people, not to mention the miscellaneous expenses, and things are even more difficult to do. So Second Master Qiao mentioned it to me, and wanted to buy a share in this Heyuewu. In the future, he will be fully responsible for the purchase of fabrics and the sale of ready-to-wear garments, and everyone will share the profits according to their own capital. ”
When Mrs. Meng heard this, her brows furrowed slightly, "According to the capital?" "Then how can she have so much cash to support this transaction?
"Of course, if there is still needlework in the house, this part of the money will be counted separately. Old lady, don't be upset, in fact, I think Second Master Qiao is very reasonable. Zhang Qingting had already figured it out in the negotiation with them yesterday, in this world, only how much effort can be made in this world, how much money can be made, and if you want to take the lion's share for no reason, then no one is a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Although we have done this business, after all, the amount is small, and we only earn a few dozen taels of silver in a month. But if there is the participation of the second master, then the situation is completely different, and you can use the same money to fight for more benefits. The people in the house are still in the house, but they come back with some handiwork, and they are easy to control. Besides, Second Master Qiao promised me that it would be shipped in spring, summer and autumn and winter in the future, and if you want to do it, you will pay the silver in. If you don't want to do it one day, you can stop at any time. ”
Looking at their mother-in-law's somewhat unhappy faces, Zhang Qingting threw out a enough temptation, "As for me, since I don't have any capital, I'm embarrassed to say anything about the money with the government." The government will get as much as it should for this penny. Of course, you can still use my name. ”
Mrs. Meng was surprised to hear this, "Then you...... Isn't it in vain? ”
Where can Zhang Qingting do such a stupid thing? smiled a little, "It's not a secret, Second Master Qiao said that if I don't have the money to cooperate with him, only the card of Heyuewu is worth a few dollars." Others rebelled and agreed to give me a 10% dry share for this signboard. If I want to help design a new sample, I will take some dividends according to a certain percentage of the sales of the new sample. This also lest I be lazy and force me to do more. ”
She privately calculated that if Qiao Zhongda joined, it would not be a problem to make this business tens of thousands of dollars a year, at that time, even if she took one percent, she would have an income of more than a thousand, which was already very good. The last beating also taught her a lesson, this is not good to be a bird, and if she is not good, she will be beaten. Zhang Qingting would rather be safe, she is not so greedy, anyway, as long as this golden signboard is still in her hand, she is a sure deal.
Mrs. Meng asked a key question, "Then how big is his first batch going to be?" She also has to know the quantity to know if it's worth it to join.
Zhang Qingting stretched out a finger, "At least ten thousand books." There were many things to prepare for this year, but Second Master Qiao had already prepared a merchant ship to sell goods in the Southern Dynasties. By the beginning of next spring, this business will be necessary. I think it's better than tossing around by ourselves, and they will take care of all the appearances, and we just have to wait for the dividends. Besides, he is an imperial businessman, and it is more convenient for him to come forward than us. I just don't know what the two ladies think? ”
Their faces were a little hesitant, and Mrs. Meng thought for a while, "Let's do it!" ”
In this way, it is true that they want to control the business alone, but it saves them a lot of unnecessary trouble. When you think about it, it still seems to be a good deal.
