After the expansion, the Lin family's ancestral house covers a very large area. It has red walls and green tiles, various carved beams and painted columns, and luxurious decorations. People can smell the smell of silver when they are inside.
The current head of the family, Lin Kunping, married a five-room concubine in order to continue his family life. After unremitting efforts, he finally had a son. He regarded Lin Zican as his treasure and pampered him since he was a child. However, a few days ago, someone sneaked into the Lin Mansion and almost beat him to death.
In anger, he went to the county government office, but there was still no news of the culprit after so many days.
In a certain room in the main courtyard, Lin Kunping watched Lin Zican finish the soup and quickly walked up to cover him with a quilt.
Lin Zican's face was ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, have you caught the assassin?"
"Don't worry, dad will send someone to the government later to urge him." The man with white temples wearing a light brown silk coat patted his chest with his wrinkled hands.
Hearing this, Lin Zican's anger increased instead of abating, and he shouted: "They are all trash. I haven't been able to catch anyone for so many days. Oh, please stop touching me and get out!"
Lin Kunping was pushed away, looked down at him, shook his head helplessly, turned and walked out of the room.
Outside the house, a stooped old man had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the owner of the house coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
However, Lin Kunping raised his hand to signal him not to speak, so as not to disturb Lin Zican, and led him to the corridor leading to the main hall: "Have you found out everything about Jianghai Buxing?"
Three days ago, Jianghai Clothing Store in Xicheng suddenly announced its closure. Although the outside world was spreading rumors that Jianghai Chamber of Commerce did not want to waste any more time on this store that had been losing money, the spies he had installed came with some gossip, so they sent
The butler went to investigate.
Butler Luo nodded slightly and explained: "For the record, head of the family, there have been many layoffs in the past two days because Jianghai Clothing Store in Dongcheng has taken over a large order and needs manpower to rush the production. After that, Xicheng Cloth Store will officially close its doors.
, the shopkeeper has already found a new owner to sublet the shop, and today many of his subordinates discovered that they secretly transported the cloth to Dongcheng."
Hearing this, Lin Kunping's eyes flashed with suspicion, and he asked: "Didn't you say that Yue Shuhua set a test for the young accountant?"
"Master, you are worrying too much. That boy is only seventeen years old and knows nothing. How can he revitalize the cloth industry? Maybe it is just a false move by Yue Shuhua. She has been fighting wits and courage with you in the past two years. This kind of trick is useless.
That's not enough!" Butler Luo flattered him with a smile.
After listening to his words, Lin Kunping's expression softened. Maybe he was overthinking it. How could someone in this world be able to calculate half a year's accounts without any abacus? He snorted coldly, held his head high and said:
"That bitch Yue Shuhua is always playing tricks. Now the business is closed. In a few days, I will make her Jianghai Chamber of Commerce disappear completely. She actually wants to be on an equal footing with my Lin family in Yunhuai County. She is simply seeking death!"
Butler Luo bowed and said with a smile: "My master is wise and powerful, the Lin family has a transcendent background, and the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce is just a grasshopper in the autumn, it can't jump around for a few days!"
At the same time, in the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce, Qi was listening to the news from his subordinates and wondered: "How could Dongcheng Cloth Co., Ltd. have taken any big orders? What on earth is that guy planning to do? He can't even sell the cloth, so he still wants to sell it.
I'm afraid it's crazy to make it into clothes!"
Lu Yi leaned on the chair and drank tea, and replied calmly: "He has the chief's order in his hand. We can't do anything to him. We'd better wait for the shopkeeper to come back!"
Zhu Linyuan on the side snorted coldly and added: "Let that boy continue playing the zither. The shopkeeper will suffer the consequences when he comes back!"
Last year, the shopkeeper of a branch made several wrong decisions in a row because of his insistence on going his own way, causing the store to suffer huge losses and was almost killed by Yue Shuhua. What Tang Ji did was even worse, and he must be punished.
It would be heavier. He could already imagine the scene of the other party being tied to a pillar and beaten.
Qi Zheng did not participate in the discussion anymore, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window and looked at the bustling street, murmuring: "Shopkeeper, what exactly do you think?"
...
"Mr. Tang, can the outside world believe the false news we spread?" Yao Jin stood at the desk and asked Tang Ji, who was designing clothes.
Tang Ji finished the last stroke in his hand. After taking a look at the new work, he nodded with satisfaction, raised it up and showed it: "Don't worry, I've said hello to Shopkeeper He from Dongcheng Clothing Store. It's OK for both sides to have the same caliber.
Show me, what do you think of this dress?"
Yao Jin didn't understand this either and could only nod silently.
Tang Ji put down the rice paper boredly. As expected, his only close friend was Jiang Ran. Showing these design drawings to others was like playing the piano to an ox. He stood up, relaxed his muscles and bones, and said, "Let's go and see the progress of the layoffs."
Immediately, the two walked out of the room. From the railing on the second floor, they could see busy figures at each table on the first floor. They nodded with satisfaction and walked towards a certain room.
The old woman who was teaching in the room turned her head and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, you are here!"
"Hey, Sister-in-law Chen, you are busy with your business, don't worry about me." Tang Ji politely replied.
The number of layoffs recruited this time reached hundreds, and new people came every day, so teachers to teach new people were indispensable. This lady named Chen was highly skilled in crafts, literate, and had strong expressive skills. She quickly
So he promoted me.
Aunt Chen had chatted a lot with Tang Ji in the past two days. She felt that this young master was a good person, especially when he called her "Sister-in-law", she made her look younger. She nodded in response and continued her teaching: "What I just said
Where did it come from, oh yes, the big and small sizes must be controlled well, and there must be no mistakes..."
Tang Ji stared at Xiaohui again, and after making sure that everyone was listening carefully, he turned around and walked out of the room.
After reaching the stairs, he turned around and said to Yao Jin who was following behind him: "Okay, I'll leave first, I'll leave this place to you to keep an eye on!"
The application time has passed, and Tang Ji cannot stay and work overtime. This morning I heard from Cheng Tie that the barbecue grill was made. In order to thank Jiu'er for spending time teaching him martial arts every night, it's time to reward him with a barbecue feast!
In this regard, Yao Jin didn't say anything, because he was used to it, and he handed him off: "Yes, Mr. Tang, go slowly."
After a while, a waiter in the store stood behind the wooden fence and looked downstairs at the figures saying goodbye to the tailors. He said to Yao Jin beside him: "Shopkeeper Yao, people outside say that our cloth shop is completely out of business. Just say it."
Can we rely on this batch of ready-made garments to make a comeback?"
Yao Jin sighed. He had never tried this selling method. He even said that there were no shops in Yunhuai County that sold ready-made clothes, so he did not dare to draw any conclusions.
But for some reason, every time he saw Tang Ji's confident smile, he felt that he would definitely be able to turn around this time. He stopped thinking about it and responded to the guys with the words he learned from Tang Ji: "You just work hard, and I'll leave the rest to you."
