Chapter 7 Buying a Shop

Author: Xu Lin

After saying this, Shen Zhiyi knelt down and bowed again, and left the inner office, leaving Jiang Huaice standing there without moving for a long time.

"Master."

When Guo Lun went out, he met Shen Zhiyi. She walked hurriedly, as if she was hiding from someone. She walked very fast and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye. After walking into the inner office, she saw Jiang Huaice's somewhat absent-minded movements, so she Understood.

"What's up?"

Jiang Huaice came back to his senses when he heard Guo Lun's voice, only to hear Guo Lun continue: "The clue was broken. When we arrived, it was already in ruins."

He lowered his head and did not dare to look into Jiang Huaice's eyes. After all, this case was the same as that of the Guangping Chief Envoy that Xiao Zian was responsible for before. It was very involved. If he was not careful, the entire army would be wiped out. He was just the person behind the scenes. The chief minister of Quang Binh was promoted as the scapegoat, and the clues were lost.

How could it be that Greedy Moyin had half the national treasury? How could it be the work of just one person? He finally found out the tail, but when he got there, it was already in ruins. The trace was only half a month old.

When Guo Lun was upset, he heard him say: "After the Spring Siege is over, I will go there in person."

Since he woke up that day, he began to trace the events of his previous life. After careful consideration, he discovered that the person behind the scenes had begun to lay out his plans as early as this time, as if weaving a dense network. In the end, the whole Dayong was trapped and could no longer break free.

After Xiang Zihua was solved, and there were no messy people to disturb, Shen Zhiyi could calm down and think about the embroidery workshop. Lu Mei went out to inquire about it, and said that there was a fabric shop selling it on Sanli Street, but the price was slightly lower. Gao and Shen Zhiyi wanted to take over the shop this time, but they spent all their savings.

"It's okay, let's go take a look first."

After putting on the power fence to hide their appearance, the master and servant set off. The carriage stopped leisurely at the entrance of Sanli Street. Lu Mei led Shen Zhiyi to the door of the shop, and saw a plump man sitting behind the counter. The woman has a sad face.

He didn't stand up to greet them when he saw them coming in. He said feebly: "The distinguished guests will buy one and get one free for everything they like."

Shen Zhiyi stepped forward and reached out to touch the material under his hand. He felt that it was warm and cool to the touch, smooth and close to the skin. It was the best brocade, but it had been affected by some moisture and the quality was not very good.

Walking further inside, there are all kinds of fabrics, such as Suluo, Hualuo, weaving, crimson silk, Yunwu silk, etc., but for some reason there are only a few customers.

She raised her head and looked around. The decoration style of the shop was also very high-end and exquisite. She thought the damp fabrics were affecting the business. Shen Zhiyi nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the counter.

"Shopkeeper, your shop has a wide range of fabrics, why are there so few customers?"

A pretty female voice came, and the plump shopkeeper stood up and managed a smile: "Hey, to be honest with you, this batch of ingredients came from Shuozhou. It's a pity that before the ingredients left Shuozhou, there was a snowstorm, and all the ingredients were damaged. When the tide is over, not a single horse can be sold."

The shopkeeper originally came to Huai Jing because she wanted to get high-end customization. How could those noble ladies and ladies from aristocratic families accept that the clothes they wore were made of materials with poor quality? She originally wanted to deal with them at a low price, but the price was lowered no matter how low it was. Those ordinary people don't need such luxurious materials, they just say they are fancy but not useful.

So such a large batch of goods fell into the hands of the shopkeeper. In desperation, she could only stop the loss in time and choose to sublet. Otherwise, if she continued like this, she would suffer even greater losses.

"I see."

Shen Zhiyi naturally knew the reason for this. She had guessed it as soon as she touched the material. She just wanted to hear what the shopkeeper had to say, but she didn't expect that the shopkeeper was actually a real person.

"I intend to rent your shop, and I can accept all the fabrics in this shop."

Listening to her words, the shopkeeper's face showed disbelief, and then he looked overjoyed: "This, how good is this? The distinguished customer can't sell that batch of ingredients at all."

She was a real businessman and did not want to see Shen Zhiyi engage in loss-making business. She originally planned to take the materials home and make her own clothes.

"I have my own way, please give me a price."

Looking at Shen Zhiyi's dress and listening to her calm tone, the shopkeeper stretched out five fingers and gritted his teeth and said, "Five hundred taels, I'll give you those fabrics."

"Seven hundred taels, I won't take advantage of you. I'm just asking you to look after the store for me for a few more days."

This shopkeeper does business with integrity, and Shen Zhiyi will not take advantage of her. In fact, those fabrics may not even be able to get four or five hundred taels, and speaking of it, what she gave is still too little.

The shopkeeper didn't expect Shen Zhiyi to be so generous and thanked him repeatedly. Today he really met a distinguished person: "Of course, thank you, distinguished guest. Thank you, distinguished guest."

"If you prepare the house deed, I can give you the deposit today."

Shen Zhiyi asked Lu Mei to take out two hundred taels first. The shopkeeper had already prepared the house deed. After signing his name, he handed it to Shen Zhiyi. Lu Mei stepped forward to take the house deed and put it into the box.

"I'll bother you for the next few days. I'll bring someone over in a few days, and you can go back then."

The shopkeeper nodded and sent her out with a smile.

After solving the problem of the shop, Shen Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just needs to find a reliable shopkeeper to take over, and then find some embroiderers with outstanding embroidery skills.

"Why did you buy those defective products, girl? Those fabrics can't be sold. Aren't we just wasting our money?"

Lu Mei was also a little puzzled. Shen Zhiyi reached out and knocked on her little head: "I don't want the upper layer, I don't want the lower layer, what about the middle layer? I don't want pure fabrics, but what about ready-made clothes? We are just trying to accumulate customers, so we will lose a little in the early stage, but The follow-up will bring more profits, can I still sell your girl at a loss?"

She had this idea when she saw those cloths. There was actually a serious difference in the salary of Dayong officials. The income of upper-level officials was much higher than that of lower-level officials.

Therefore, the clothes of many middle- and lower-class officials and their families are mostly in a state of repair and repair for three years. If the family has some assets, it is better. If the family comes from a poor family, it is really pitiful.

Sometimes when I go to a banquet with my colleagues or colleagues, I can’t find any good clothes.

The fabrics in the fabric shop are only affected by dampness, which does not affect its use. She will dampen it again when the time comes, use these high-quality fabrics to cut into today's popular clothing styles, and then sell them to middle-level officials and their families at low prices. To conduct limited-time volume sales, you can accumulate some customers in the early stage.

In the later stage, she will sell ordinary materials with unique designs to stabilize these customers, and then go for high-quality customization. This is the business method she wants. In this way, the reputation of the embroidery shop can be quickly established.

"Hey, I don't have much silver left in my hand, and I will become a pauper."

Shen Zhiyi sighed and got on the carriage helplessly. Forget it, as long as the embroidery workshop opened, she could get her money back. The most important thing was to find out who framed the Shen family in her previous life. She didn't want to experience such a tragedy in her previous life again. Second time.
