Reborn Princess Chasing Her Husband Crematorium
Chapter 123, the mysterious foreign aid invited by Shen Qing
Everyone looked at Jin Fanhua.
There was no expression on Jin Fanhua's face at this time. She did not answer Zheng Jinlin's words, but said to Uncle Jin: "Uncle Jin, give the guest two cups of tea. I remember that our house bought some good Longjing a few days ago. "
Uncle Jin received the order and respectfully left the meeting hall.
Two cups of tea is nothing but the Zheng family. Obviously they are not guests.
The same sentence corresponds to what Zheng Jinlin said at the beginning, "We haven't seen each other for a few days, but Boss Jin's style remains the same."
Immediately, Jin Fanhua arranged seats for Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu.
"It's a joke for you two."
"Where, that cotton field impressed me deeply." Shen Qing said.
"Did Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang come from the imperial capital?" Jin Fanhua asked.
"Yes, we are newly married and want to travel around the country of Xi." Shen Qing said with a smile.
After a few words, the two actually started talking.
The faces of the Zheng family members who were completely ignored gradually turned gloomy.
Soon, Uncle Jin served tea.
Seeing that these people seemed to be chatting for a long time, Zheng Jinlin couldn't help but said: "Boss Jin, is this how you do business?"
Jin Fanhua stopped talking and finally focused on Zheng Jinlin.
Zheng Jinlin looked provocative.
This time Zheng Jinlin decided to produce 200,000 kilograms of cotton. The two hundred thousand kilograms were purchased from the Jin family at thirty-five cents per catty. Even if they were sold for fifty cents per catty, they would earn nearly four thousand taels. And making money by yourself means that the Jin family loses money.
Thinking of this, Zheng Jinlin couldn't help but feel proud.
Seeing that Jin Fanhua was about to suffer a big loss, Zheng Jinlin mercifully chose to forgive her hostility and dissatisfaction at this time.
"Boss Zheng's first time doing business?" Jin Fanhua said coldly, "The cotton will not be harvested for more than three months, and now you come to me and ask for it?"
Zheng Jinlin smiled when he heard this: "Of course I want Boss Jin's words. With your words, I can rest assured."
Zheng Jinlin is not afraid of Jin Fanhua breaking the contract.
After all, the penalty for breaking the contract was written as three times the income, which was twelve thousand taels.
Now that he had Jin Fanhua's approval, Zheng Jinlin left with his people.
As soon as the Zheng family left, Jin Di hurriedly said: "Sister! Why did you just agree to him like that?!"
Jin Fanhua really didn't want to talk to Jin Di more, and looked at Jin Di like an idiot, which made Jin Di immediately feel discouraged.
"I'm leaving now..."
After saying that, Jin Di walked away in despair.
The entire meeting hall finally fell silent.
Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu actually watched a wonderful show.
"Is Boss Jin really not worried at all?" Shen Qing asked.
"How can you do business without losing money?" Jin Fanhua said, "Besides, it's still unclear who is losing money."
"How to say?"
"We'll know in a few months. It's too early to tell."
Shen Qing did not pursue the question, but changed the subject: "I want to hear you talk about the Chu family."
The Chu family is the largest merchant in the entire north and is also the leader of the merchants. It controls the order of the entire northern business community.
The Chu family owns the largest and best quality cotton land in the north.
Therefore, the Chu family also enjoys a high reputation in ready-to-wear.
From the output value of raw materials to the clothes on each person's body, the Chu family handles the entire line. Therefore, under such a virtuous cycle, the Chu family is naturally prosperous.
But the Chu family never stopped anyone from challenging him.
He is standing on a high place, but any family that wants to replace the Chu family and become the leader in the north can challenge him. The Chu family will not reject anyone who comes.
To challenge the Chu family, it is natural to use the northerner's method and rely on strength.
This strength, unlike Jin Fanhua's gambling skills, needs to be truly free of impurities.
Of course, in order to avoid being too complicated, the Chu family boiled the competition down to one point.
Competing sales of ready-to-wear clothing.
In fact, it is based on the entire northern garment market and based on actual sales results.
Of course, there have been some attempts to manipulate sales results through some unfair means. Once discovered, this family will appear on all the most eye-catching bulletin boards in the entire north.
Often the families that are announced are basically completely ruined in the north.
After all, the most important thing for a businessman is credibility.
"Ready-made clothing sales?" Shen Qing asked.
"Yes." Jin Fanhua nodded.
Why do others buy your clothes?
The quality of cotton, the quality of cloth, the style of clothes, the quality of ready-made clothes, the way of sales in ready-made clothes stores, the number of customers...
All of this determines the sales of ready-to-wear.
If there is an error in the middle link, it will have an impact on the sales of ready-made clothing.
For a moment, Shen Qing didn't know what to say.
She was at a loss.
Because she really knows nothing about it.
And the Chu family is a leader, can she really do it?
"Does it feel difficult?" Jin Fanhua asked.
Shen Qing didn't hold it back and nodded: "It sounds really difficult."
"Otherwise, why can the Chu family stand in the north for many years without falling?" Jin Fanhua said with a smile.
"Does Boss Jin have any idea?" Shen Qing asked.
"I can't tell you how to do it," Jin Fanhua said, "I couldn't defeat the Chu family before, but now, maybe there are some ideas that can be realized, so it's not necessarily impossible to give it a try."
Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu looked at each other.
"Appreciate further details."
"When it comes to cotton, I think that in the entire north, except for the Chu family, it is our Jin family."
Shen Qing could not agree more with this.
"In terms of clothing styles, if the Ding family's ready-made clothing styles were expanded to the entire Xi Kingdom, they would not be worse than those of the Chu family.
The reason why the Ding family has always been in the middle and upper reaches in the north is entirely because of the Ding family's strategy and deployment of the entire Xi Kingdom's clothing, which has led to their inability to adapt to the dressing habits of northerners.
In addition, I have always disliked her for being stupid, so the two of us have never collaborated.
As for now, with His Highness as your guide, the cooperation between our two companies can be regarded as a strong alliance.
The price of fifty cents per catty for the Ding family is within my acceptable range. After all, it is for the soldiers. "
After saying that, Jin Fanhua glanced at Tang Zongjiu.
Tang Zongjiu nodded: "Thank you very much."
"No need," Jin Fanhua shook his head, "If Xi Dong's soldiers use it well, then the soldiers in the west and north can also enjoy it in the future. I believe this business will grow bigger and bigger."
"Of course, the premise is that we can defeat the Chu family at this moment. If the business community in the north cannot be unified, it will also be a trouble for the future."
Shen Qing and Tang Zongjiu agreed on this point.
This is something Shen Qing has always insisted on.
“So, if I cooperate with Ding Yuhang, I believe we can compete with the Chu family in terms of quality of ready-made garments.
The next step is the sales of ready-made clothing. This time it is in the northern land, so the ready-made clothing needs to be suitable for the north. This point must be changed by Ding Yuhang.
Secondly, if we can surpass the Chu family in some aspects, our chances of winning will be greater. "
"Some aspects?" Shen Qing asked.
"Yes, for example..." Jin Fanhua thought for a while, "the design of ready-to-wear."
"Concerning this, I think I hired a very good helper." Shen Qing said.
Shen Qing had already mentioned this person before, and it was obvious that he planned to introduce him to everyone when he arrived.
"The last thing is sales. To expand sales, the more customers the better. Your Highness, you have a special identity here. If we can use some of them at this time, our chances of winning will be greater."
"Isn't this considered 'cheating'?" Shen Qing asked.
Jin Fanhua smiled: "Your Highness, connections are also a type of strength."
"I understand!" Shen Qing suddenly realized.
"Moreover, the Chu family is comparing the sales volume of ready-made clothes. There are loopholes in this matter." Jin Fanhua said.
"Loophole?" Shen Qing asked.
"Yes, there is a loophole." Jin Fanhua glanced at everyone, "He only looks at the sales volume of ready-made clothes, but not the input costs. In other words, he is not comparing net profits."
"No one wants to do business at a loss, right?" Shen Qing said.
"Naturally, so no one has thought about it and is not willing to spend the money." Jin Fanhua continued, "But we..."
After this conversation, the time came to night unknowingly.
Jin Fanhua left Shen Qing to eat, and Shen Qing was naturally not polite.
After returning to the Tang Mansion, Shen Qing began to work on the clothing store.
The weather was fine that day, and the helper Shen Qing had been thinking about finally arrived at the Tang Mansion.
Jin Fanhua, Gu Su Xiaoxiao and others had also been waiting at the Tang Mansion early, wanting to see with their own eyes who the foreign aid Her Royal Highness the Princess had specially invited.
"I'm coming!"
Shen Qing couldn't hold back his excitement and invited people into the Tang Mansion's meeting hall. There seemed to be a hint of respect in his words and deeds. This made everyone a little surprised.
Who would actually make Princess Shu Ning "respect"?
Could it be the Imperial Master?
I saw that the person who came had a delicate and picturesque face, skin as good as snow, a straight nose, and a pair of bright eyes as clear as autumn water. She was dressed in red, her posture was elegant, and her steps were light and elegant.
If this person isn't Ding Yuhong, the number one embroiderer in the Xi Kingdom, who is she?
That Mr. Ding Yuhong who was a female celebrity at Qingsi Academy, experienced teaching Shen Qing embroidery and almost doubted his ability.
Everyone didn't know who Ding Yuhong was at first, but after Shen Qing introduced Ding Yuhong in full, the eyes they looked at Ding Yuhong instantly became respectful.
The embroidery master of all the ladies from the aristocratic families in the imperial capital, and the number one embroiderer in the Xi Kingdom who was praised by the Queen!
Even Jin Fanhua couldn't help but look a little brighter when looking at Ding Yuhong.
With her here, the chances of winning the challenge against the Chu family are simply much higher!
Ding Yuhong set out from the imperial capital to the north in response to the Queen's decree.
Before setting off, she already knew what Shen Qing was going to do and her mission this time.
The road was full of travel and dust, and Ding Yuhong even fell ill. Although it was not serious, it delayed some of the trip.
She thought Shen Qing was just fooling around, and she had some objections in her heart.
But while on the road, she also heard about things in the south.
When she actually arrived in the north, came to Tang Mansion, and met these people, she knew from everyone's words that Princess Shu Ning was serious this time.
She retracted her inner revulsion, annoyed that she had made random judgments without understanding the whole story.
Therefore, she was extremely alert and spoke almost everything she knew.
Before officially opening the store, with Jin Fanhua's advice, Shen Qing and the others decided to make a finished product first.
However, the finished product Shen Qing mentioned was not beautiful clothes, but cotton armor for the soldiers to wear in winter.
When fighting in winter, it's freezing and snowy, and it's bitingly cold. People freeze into ice before they even start fighting.
The weapon is cold, and if you touch it with your hands, your skin will be scratched.
It would be a disaster for the soldiers to have to fight under such conditions.
And Xi Dong is about to face this severe test.
The cotton harvest can begin in September. What Shen Qing and the others have to do now is to deliver this batch of cotton armor to Xi Dong's soldiers in time.
So time waits for no one.
According to Shen Qing's memory, the war will last about half a year.
I don’t know if it’s too late.
Shen Qing glanced at everyone present and spoke seriously.
“It’s a cotton armor.
This kind of cotton armor is mainly made of cotton. The cotton is wetted and beaten repeatedly to make a very thin cotton piece. Several such cotton pieces are then embroidered into a very thick and solid cotton cloth.
There is iron armor between the two layers of cotton cloth, and the inside and outside are fixed with copper nails. It not only has a very good defense effect against firearms, but also has defense capabilities against traditional bows and slaves.
Moreover, the climate in Xidong is cold, and cotton armor also has the function of preventing cold. "
After speaking, she relied on her memory of seeing the cotton armor in her previous life, took out a pen and paper, and drew a rough outline of the cotton armor.
At this moment, even Tang Zongjiu couldn't help but move forward to take a look.
It looks very heavy at first glance, but it also gives people a strong sense of security.
"Your Highness Princess..." Jin Fanhua couldn't help but ask after seeing the drawings, "How do you know this?"
"Just..." Shen Qing rolled his eyes, "One night I had a dream, and I dreamed that our soldiers from the Xi Kingdom were wearing this kind of armor that could withstand cold and fire weapons, and they were invincible. Then I woke up, That’s how I remember it.”
Although everyone felt that Shen Qing was talking nonsense, they still nodded to express their belief.
After all, no matter how you look at this cotton armor, as long as it is made, it will be a good thing that benefits the country and the people.
Ding Yuhang has been silent in the past, and like Qin Wenyao, he has no sense of presence.
But at this time, among all the people who looked at the drawings, he was the most careful and serious.
Others may only see a rough outline, but his focused gaze always stays on every aspect of the drawing.
Shen Qing's drawing was just an outline, but three-dimensional images from all directions appeared in Ding Yuhang's mind.
Gradually, everyone withdrew their gaze, except Ding Yuhang.
At this time, he was like a quiet sculpture, completely immersed in his own world.
Those bright eyes focused all the light in the room on one point. He raised his hand and turned the drawing many times, pausing for a long time every time he moved slightly.
Everything around him seemed to have stopped, and his breathing became light and even, as if blending with the surrounding air.
His brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, and each expression changed with the ups and downs of his thoughts.
After a long time, a "Gulu——" sound suddenly appeared in the room.
Ding Yuhang was stunned for a moment, as if his soul had returned to his body, he suddenly came back to his senses.
Taking a closer look, Shen Qing and the others were all looking at her with more than a dozen eyes.
Ding Yuhang looked at everyone with some embarrassment.
"Are you hungry?" Shen Qing said with a smile, "Dinner is ready. I've prepared something delicious for you this time."
When he heard about the food, Ding Yuhang smiled and asked, "What's delicious?"
"Beggar's Chicken!"
"Okay!" Ding Yuhang nodded, "I am indeed hungry."
Everyone came to the main hall to have a meal without urging or asking.
After Ding Yuhang took two bites, he took the initiative and said, "You can do it!"
"Really?" Shen Qing was also a little excited when he heard this.
"Boss Jin, please bring some cotton first!" Ding Yuhang looked at Jin Fanhua.
"Of course, fifty pounds will be delivered tomorrow." Jin Fanhua agreed without hesitation.
"I will immediately ask the people underground to start making it when I get back," Ding Yuhang looked at Shen Qing, "Your Highness, give me three days and I will make the finished product!"
"Okay!" Shen Qing said, "This matter cannot be delayed. If Xiaoxiao is done, I will send it to my father as soon as possible. I will also attach a letter and inform my father of all our efforts. Emperor. Once the emperor gets approval from the emperor, Xiaoxiao, your Ding family must immediately, not to mention tens of thousands, but thousands of cotton armors are necessary."
Ding Yuhang nodded: "It all depends on the time it takes for Boss Jin to finish this batch of cotton. If it's a race against time."
"You can rest assured on this. The first batch of cotton from me will definitely be delivered to your house."
"My current order price is fifty cents per catty. From now on..."
"If it is used to make cotton armor, the price can be reduced further."
“Boss Jin is so refreshing!”
"Boss Ding, you're welcome."
"That's settled the matter of cotton armor," Shen Qing continued, "Next, let's talk about the clothing store."
Shen Qing smiled and glanced at Tang Zongjiu with a hint of sly eyes.
He also said "hehe" in his mouth.
Tang Zongjiu's eyebrows jumped sharply.
Because this smile seemed familiar to him.
The next second, he remembered.
I remember when Shen Qing asked him to wear women's clothes, he used this expression.
"I……"
Before Tang Zongjiu could refuse, Shen Qing raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Not only you, Qin Wenyao and Ding Yuhang will also participate."
Qin Wenyao and Ding Yuhang, who were originally honest and practical and would never participate as long as they were not mentioned, subconsciously raised their heads.
Tang Zongjiu already had the answer in his mind. Even if it wasn't exactly the same, it was still close to the same answer.
As long as he is no longer allowed to wear women's clothing, he doesn't mind anything else.
Qin Wenyao was a boring gourd who never spoke to Gu Su Xiaoxiao at any time, so he naturally didn't ask too many questions.
Therefore, only Ding Yuhang asked.
"Participate in what?"
"Participate in building the reputation of our clothing store." Shen Qing said matter-of-factly.
"How to start?" Ding Yuhang continued to ask.
"Well... we'll wait until the store opens." Shen Qing said, "So, now we need to design eye-catching ready-to-wear styles."
"That's why His Highness specially called me here." Ding Hongyu said at this time.
"Yes, sir." Shen Qing nodded, "I need your embroidery skills. I remember your unique double-sided embroidery."
"Not bad." Ding Hongyu nodded.
"Then, sir, I hope you will embroider not only women's clothing but also men's clothing."
Everyone: "Men's clothing?"
Shen Qing looked at them: "Yeah, men's clothing, isn't it weird?"
Everyone: "..."
Shen Qing raised the corners of his lips: "Our ready-made clothing store has women's clothing as well as men's clothing. Isn't this strange?"
Crowd: Isn’t this strange?
Seeing everyone's surprised reactions, Shen Qing smiled deeply.
“Not only women’s clothing, men’s clothing, we also have children’s clothing~”
Everyone:!
