Grand Opening Special Offers!

Buy one get one free.

Buy an autumn outfit and get a summer outfit free.

The original price of the autumn clothing was 2.9 taels, but now it's only 1.9 taels!

The person next door who was still buying fabric looked slightly puzzled.

When did the common people's cloth shop open a cheap cloth shop?

A waiter is trying to attract customers!

A customer was buying fabric when someone suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "My God, the autumn clothes next door are almost exactly the same as those sold in the city, the styles are the same, and even the fabric is softer than those in the city."

The price is several hundred coins cheaper, and they even give away a summer outfit for free.

Some people questioned, "Really? I'm an honest person, don't lie to me, I might actually believe you."

"Let's go take a look. I'm not buying anything. Buying fabric is the most cost-effective option. Ready-made clothes are too expensive."

A woman whispered to you, "I'll tell you, remember the style later, then buy a bolt of cloth, go to the end of the fifth alley north of Shule Street, there's an old tailor shop with more than a dozen branches, tell them the style you want."

After paying the deposit, he would take some time to visit the clothing store, glance at the garments, and not even bother to touch them. In less than two weeks, he would have an identical piece, costing only a few hundred coins for labor.

Among the crowd, some men strained their ears and transcribed all the messages.

Report to Uncle Fu and Chen Xian.

Uncle Fu smiled helplessly: "Brother Chen, you see, we were pretty shrewd, weren't we? We copied the clothing shops in the prefectural city, but we didn't expect these people down below to be even more cunning than us. They copied our clothes too, only buying the fabric!"

Chen Xian: "It's easy. We'll sign contracts with all the skilled tailors in the city and bring them under our control."

Uncle Fu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Awesome.

Chen Xian smiled and found a few of his men to give him a few instructions.

Uncle Fu asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"It's just a backup plan, a side move..."

Just as I was about to ask for more details, the manager asked Uncle Fu to go to the cloth shop next door to discuss business, as some individual customers had bought a lot of cloth.

...

At the same time, a similar situation occurred at the Gu family's place.

When the Gu family made a big splash, the painters, tailors, and shop assistants who returned from Yingzhou Prefecture looked travel-worn.

They were drinking tea and eating chicken legs in the private room.

He recounted what had happened in the business.

Gu Junshan's expression softened slightly as he looked at the patterns the shop assistant had brought over, as well as the ready-made garments that were selling well.

"Thanks for your hard work."

These are the foundations of the Gu family's comeback.

He instructed Gu San, "Go and bring the families of these tailors, apprentices, and painters to the area under our jurisdiction and keep them under strict surveillance."

"father?"

Gu Junshan sneered, "I don't trust anyone now. The safest thing to do is to keep their family members under control."

Ru Bo rushed in from outside, "Master, the Baixing Cloth Shop has opened for business..."

Out of breath.

"What's up?"

"They opened a cheap clothing store with a buy-one-get-one-free promotion, and the clothes cost only 1.9 taels."

Gu Junshan was slightly taken aback; his intuition told him that something was wrong.

"Moreover, they have more styles of ready-to-wear clothing than we do, twenty or thirty different styles."

Gu Junshan waved his hand weakly: "Damn it!"

How could the other party be more decisive than him, always one step ahead of him? At this moment, he anticipated that the Song family would have him by the neck.

There's only one way now!

"Quickly gather all the skilled tailors in the city, and also gather some reliable painters."

"Sir, here's the problem. The clerk just came to report that Fulilun has signed contracts with all the skilled tailors in the city to work at the Pingjia Cloth Shop."

Gu Junshan stared at him coldly: "Can you finish what you're saying all at once?"

I always feel like I'm living in someone's shadow, and no matter what I do, it's all planned out in advance by that person.

The Gu family is facing increasing difficulties...

Gu Sanjing watched quietly, "Father, should we still recruit that painter?"

Gu Junshan waved his hand, as if he had used up all his strength.

"What use is a painter if there are no skilled tailors?"

Seemingly already envisioning the future of the Gu family, he slumped back into the chair, as if all his strength had been drained away...

Does this mean that Gujia will only be able to accept small-scale buyers in the future, who spend all day at the shop and only sell two or three horses a day?

Young Master Gu started directing the shop assistants at the shop entrance. He couldn't just abandon the cloth business after the Gu family was gone. He noticed that his father seemed to have lost his spirit.

He began to reluctantly order those men around.

"Keep a close eye on the Qianyun yarn in the shop. I don't care how the situation in the city's fabric industry changes... No one can copy the Gu family's Qianyun yarn. Do your job well and don't make wild guesses!"

"Yes, Third Young Master."

An old beggar was seen squatting outside the cloth shop on West Street.

Her hair was filthy, leaving only her eyes, which kept following the man's mouth movements, as if she was trying hard to record something.

Talking on and on.

A group of beggars around chuckled, "That old madman who appeared out of nowhere..."

When Gu Sanshao saw a dirty beggar squatting in the corner, he ordered his waiter to chase him away.

"Go away, you filthy thing! Go squat over there. This cloth shop is not a place for stinking beggars like you..."

They scattered in a panic.
