Chapter 376: Seeing is Believing
Ma Fuan knew that it was not easy for Zhang Mengjie to come out, so he also had something to discuss with them, so he sat down in the vacant seat closest to Zhang Mengjie without any twist. Wang hesitated for a moment and sat down, but instead of sitting near Zhang Mengjie like Ma Yuhu, he chose an inconspicuous position and sat down.
After the two sat down, Zhang Mengjie said: "I don't need to say it, presumably Ma Bo also knows the purpose of my coming out this time?" I would like to ask Marber in your estimation when will this place open for guests? ”
"Niangniang, although the tools for making the oilcloth have been bought, but the tools have not been installed, and even if they are installed, it will not be possible without a month's work from the start of construction to the formation of the oilcloth. Coupled with the time it takes for the embroiderer to make the garment and the time it takes to prepare it for sale, it will take at least two months. Ma Fuan answered Zhang Mengjie's question without thinking, which shows that he has already weighed these things.
"What if you just buy it into cloth?"
"The production of this oilcloth is not only time-consuming but also in high demand, so the oilcloth merchants will not sell it to customers who are not long-term or have a small quantity."
"Ma Bo, Niangniang is talking about finished cloth, not oilcloth." Ma Fuan was immersed in the category of oilcloth, and didn't notice that Zhang Mengjie was talking about finished cloth instead of oilcloth, and Qian San on the side reminded him.
"Cloth? Isn't it? Ma Fuan came to his senses and said.
Zhang Mengjie said: "I said at the beginning that I invited Ma Bo and Ling's daughter-in-law to come to Beijing to open a ready-to-wear shop, and the raincoat is just one of them. I can afford a month or two, you can afford it, and the guests can afford it, but can the master and embroiderer hired by Ma Bo afford it? Even if they really don't have anyone to answer, if someone is not right-minded. In order to accept Ma Bo and refuse the invitation of other bosses to raise the monthly example, Ma Bo, do you agree or not? ”
The master and the embroidery lady were both inquired and hired together by Steward Lin, and the monthly case was also very reasonable, so the hired master and the embroidery girl agreed very happily, Ma Fuan didn't think about it so much, thinking that it would be a foregone conclusion if they agreed to it. After Zhang Mengjie's reminder, I suddenly woke up, yes, not to mention a month or two, even a few days, there are a lot of changes.
Zhang Mengjie continued: "I'm not afraid of things, but I don't want something to happen for no reason. The growth of a new shop depends on credibility and integrity. If you have a conflict with someone from the beginning. Is there still a stable day in this shop? How can there be customers who will patronize? ”
"Niangniang, it's the grass people who owe it to consideration!"
Zhang Mengjie has said many times about the title, but Ma Fuan and Wang have never dared to change their words. Zhang Mengjie is also very helpless about this. But she persuaded again: "Marber." In the future, I hope that only you and Ling's daughter-in-law will know, since I call you uncle, I hope you forget my identity, and I hope you remember that I am your partner. It's not your owner, and it's not your boss. Of course, we are people in the same boat, and I will not let you go if you are in trouble. ”
"Mother? But this, grass people? Ma Fuan has a very clear idea of dealing with other things, and when it comes to Zhang Mengjie's identity and title, he doesn't know how to deal with himself.
"I don't force you to be as unscrupulous as them, I just hope that you don't have to be so restrained with me, and you don't need to remind yourself in private." Zhang Mengjie said: "If you remember, then Ma Bo said that if there is a cloth, when will this place be opened?"
"If there is a ready-made cloth and a sample of the ready-to-wear, it can be opened in five days." Ma Fu'an made a rough estimate.
Zhang Mengjie said: "Okay, leave the sample matter to me." This is the downtown area, Ma Bo has been here for a few days, do you know the situation of the cloth village here? ”
As soon as he mentioned the situation of the cloth village, Ma Fuan immediately wrinkled his brows, Zhang Mengjie thought that he had not paid attention to the affairs of the cloth village here, and just wanted to say something, he heard Ma Fuan say: "The most shops on this street are jade, as well as two restaurants, an inn, and some snack bars. The rest are two cloth houses. ”
"Is there a problem with these two cloth houses?" Speaking of the two cloth villages, Ma Fuan twisted his eyebrows and said with a look of wanting to speak and stopping.
Ma Fuan shook his head and said: "It's not that there is a problem with the two cloth villages, but that our situation is a little difficult to handle."
Zhang Mengjie said: "What do you say?"
Ma Fuan said: "The owners of the two cloth villages are brothers, and the character of these two brothers is the difference between heaven and earth. This brother is cunning, but he is a good hand in business. Therefore, his father relied on him very much when he was alive, and basically gave the eldest son what he could give and teach. If it weren't for the fact that their mother was not a partial, I am afraid that this younger brother would not be able to get this cloth house. ”
"Oh, listen to Ma Bo, they have a lot of inheritance on their ancestors?"
"Yes, teahouses, restaurants, jade, but except for the cloth village here, the other industries are in the downtown street in the east. This cloth village was actually the property of their mother's dowry. ”
"Ma Bo just said that our situation is not easy to handle, and you haven't said why it is difficult to handle?" Zhang Mengjie didn't want to inquire more about other people's private affairs, so she brought the topic to business again.
Ma Fuan said: "Under normal circumstances, we should buy cloth from my brother's family, but the problem is that my brother's family is also making oilcloth and grass, and I am afraid that if I don't make it clear to them in advance, they will come to make trouble." I am afraid that they will deliberately raise the price. ”
"Why can't you choose my brother's family?"
"This?" Ma Fuan was silent again.
"Can't tell?" Zhang Mengjie stood up and said, "Anyway, it's not far from this street, let's go and have a look."
said that it was not far away, and the group walked for about half an hour, and Zhang Mengjie saw two identical brocade cloths embroidered with the words "Pei Ji Buzhuang" from a distance.
Seeing Jinbu Zhang Mengjie, I knew why Ma Fuan used his brother's house and brother's house to replace Buzhuang just now, because not only the name of the store is exactly the same, but the two are still face to face.
When I got closer, I found that the layout of the two families was similar, but it was easy to find that the one on the left was the elder brother's, and the one on the right was the younger brother's.
Zhang Mengjie just wanted to walk into one of the cloth villages, and someone from the other cloth village came out to solicit customers: "Yo, isn't this the horse shopkeeper?" What is the wind that blows you here today? It's been a while since you bought that shop, and you don't know what the shopkeeper is going to do? ”
When Ma Fuan saw someone coming, he immediately smiled: "It turned out to be Pei Ji's young owner, let's just go shopping."
It may be that Pei Ji Shaodong's words made the young man who was dressed in brocade, with gold silk painted on the brocade robe, and wearing a jade crown smiling even more: "Just go shopping and come to Pei Ji, isn't this fate?" (To be continued.) )
