More than half a month later, the shops next to Shen Mingzhu's two clothing stores were sublet and clothing stores were opened there.
What’s more, the women’s clothing she sells is of similar style to the ones in her store, and the prices are at least 20% to 30% cheaper than the clothes in her store.
How can we make any money after deducting the cost?
Shen Mingzhu asked her shop assistant to try to find out who the owner of the shop next door was, but he couldn't find out because only the manager was there.
Could the boss be Tang Weiwei?
Did she deliberately spend money to open such a loss-making store to engage in vicious competition and steal her business?
Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth, feeling very unhappy, and asked Guan Haisheng to help her come up with a plan.
Guan Haisheng smiled, but was very calm.
I analyzed it with her: "A store like this probably won't last a year. Let's let her business thrive for a while."
"When the shop owner calculates her accounts and finds she's lost a fortune, but hasn't yet shut down your shop, she'll naturally cut her losses and close it down!"
"Really? You think she'll close before me?"
"As long as you can be patient and not be influenced by her, she will definitely close the door first."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. No matter what the shop next door does, I'll just focus on running my own shop!"
"Well, the boy is teachable."
Guan Haisheng smiled and rubbed Shen Mingzhu's head, and the two had a very pleasant conversation.
Shen Mingzhu did not report this to Shen Xiaobei.
She thought that Shen Xiaobei had so many businesses to take care of, and she was already so old, she couldn't call to disturb her for every little thing and let her worry about her sister.
She now has Guan Haisheng, a smart military advisor, to use. Hehe, if there is anything, she can bother him while she is close to him.
It can not only enhance the common language between the two, but also allow Guan Haisheng to find more sense of value in her and satisfy his machismo.
It’s like killing two birds with one stone, very good!
As the summer vacation was coming to an end and she was about to return to Beijing, Gao Hongmian had already picked out a house in a community in Jiangzhong City.
The house was about 100 square meters and had three bedrooms, which was enough for their family of four. It was also not far from Duan Donglin's workplace, so it would be more convenient for him to commute to get off work in the future.
She prepared to bring her passbook and ID card over during the National Day holiday and pay for the house.
After deciding this matter and returning to Beijing, Gao Hongmian told Shen Xiaobei about the situation she had investigated about Guan Haisheng.
She had a very good impression of Guan Haisheng and spoke highly of him. Shen Xiaobei was very happy to hear that.
"Sister-in-law, what are their plans for marriage?"
"I asked them in person, and neither of them seemed to be in a hurry to get married."
"Guan Haisheng is two years younger than Mingzhu, so he's still quite young. He doesn't need to be anxious. But Mingzhu is almost 30, doesn't she know why she's anxious?"
"Even though Mingzhu said she'll be 30 in two years, my sister-in-law still has the temperament and looks of a young girl, and she looks very young!"
"And Guan Haisheng seems to treat her like a little girl. They don't look like an older sister-brother relationship at all!"
"Really? It seems that Guan Haisheng can subdue Mingzhu, but Mingzhu may not be able to subdue Guan Haisheng. This is a bit uncertain."
"Xiaobei, don't worry too much about Mingzhu's marriage. There's a saying that goes, 'Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.' I think Mingzhu seems like a blessed girl."
"Hey, sister-in-law, I'll take your good words! Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. Sister-in-law, I want to expand our clothing factory and open a branch."
"Really, Xiaobei?"
Hearing what Shen Xiaobei said, Gao Hongmian's eyes suddenly lit up, her face full of surprise.
"We really think alike about this! I thought of this when I was in Jiangzhong City, and I thought I'd mention it to you when I got back to see if you have any plans to do so."
"So my sister-in-law has the same idea. We're really on the same page. That's great! Then my sister-in-law should have already thought about where to build the branch factory, right?"
"I haven't thought about it specifically yet, but the main factory is built in Shenzhen, so far away from Beijing. It takes a lot of time for us to go back and forth every time."
"Sister-in-law, could the branch factory be built closer to Beijing? That way it would be more convenient for us to get to the factory!"
"Sister-in-law, we're on the same page again. I do want to build a branch factory closer to Beijing, and I've already decided on the address."
"Really, where are you going to build it?"
"Yanshan City is less than 200 miles away from Beijing City."
"Yanshan City? Is that the city where the earthquake happened in 1976?"
"Yes, actually I've had this idea for a long time. I want to open a factory and a training school in Yanshan to solve some of the local employment problems and provide some opportunities for the local people."
Shen Xiaobei said with a scorching gaze and a frank expression.
She has always had feelings for the city of Yanshan.
The days when she worked as a volunteer teacher in the Yanshan disaster area have always been a precious memory in her heart.
Over the years, she has paid special attention to any reports about Yanshan in newspapers or on television.
Today, after several years of efforts by the state and government, the reconstruction work in the Yanshan disaster area is about to enter the final stage.
This city destroyed by the earthquake will stand before the world in a new and better look.
As someone who once lived in Yanshan, she also wants to do her best and contribute more to the new Yanshan.
Moreover, now she has the ability to contribute to it!
"Xiaobei, you are such a visionary and sentimental person!"
