Chapter 133: Sneaky Business
Last time, the Ye family didn’t sell out all the goods. This time, the business is even worse. Now it’s past eleven o’clock, and there are still a lot of goods left on the stall.
Meng Shulan stood at a distance and took a look, and found that the things on the Ye family stall were not as rich as theirs. They only sold common colors such as blue, black, and gray.
At this time, Meng Changli was also whispering to her sister, "That day, the two Ye brothers got off the car and followed us. Thanks to Shen Chengyuan, we borrowed a bicycle from someone and left them behind in no time."
It was a perfect idea to ask Shen Chengyuan to accompany me into the city.
Not only did the Ye brothers fail to get the supply from their side, but the wool and cotton shoes currently on the Meng family's stall were also obtained through Shen Chengyuan's introduction.
Meng Shulan nodded secretly. As long as the Ye family couldn't get their fabric supply, they would not be able to make exactly the same things. The difference would be in the color alone.
However, there are only a few textile factories in the city, and it is only a matter of time before our supply of goods is taken away by them.
With the opening of the market, manufacturers that were previously closed to the outside world will also take the initiative to sell their products in the market.
Soon, the wholesale market will slowly take shape.
The two stood in the distance and watched for a while, and Meng Shulan said, "Sister, let's go buy some groceries."
Meng Shulan felt that there was nothing to see for the time being.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the Ye family’s stall has failed. Whether it will rise again depends on whether those people can think of ways to reverse it or start from other aspects.
If they just want to learn from others, they can only follow in others' footsteps and will never be able to surpass them.
"OK."
Meng Changli just wanted to bring her sister over to see a joke, and now she is satisfied.
But when the two sisters turned around, they happened to meet Ye Ran who was walking towards them with her schoolbag on her back.
It seemed that Ye Ran had also handed in her paper and finished school. She came here not to wait for the bus back to the village, but to go to the store to take a look.
When they met suddenly, Meng Changli laughed and took the initiative to greet Ye Ran.
"Xiao Ran, your family has already run two business events. Did you make any money?"
It was obvious that Meng Changli was gloating over other people's misfortune.
Ye Ran stared at her, her hands holding the straps of her schoolbag so tightly that they turned white.
make money?
The goods were not even sold out, so I made no money at all.
Ye Ran didn't say anything. She gritted her teeth, glanced at the two sisters, turned her head and walked away quickly.
Meng Changli was still there shouting, "Hey, Xiaoran, why are you running? It's rare to meet you, let's chat!"
Seeing Ye Ran quicken her pace due to anger, Meng Shulan also found it funny.
In the previous life, the Ye family followed Gu Hansong in doing business. Although they didn't make much, they still made some money, which made many people flatter and envy them.
In this life, things changed direction and it became more difficult for their family to make money.
In fact, as long as the Ye family does not have those petty intentions and just finds some goods to sell, they will make money no matter what in this age of gold.
But they simply don't do it and have to compete with others.
Once you hit a snag here and look back to find the direction, you will find that the other road is definitely crowded with competitors, and everything will become difficult.
Meng Changli took Meng Shulan to the market to buy fish and meat to reward her sister for completing her final exams.
The two sisters bought the things and some snacks for the two children, then went back with the baskets.
They were originally talking and laughing, but when they approached the store, Meng Shulan stopped, grabbed her sister's arm and pulled her aside.
"Sister, look over there, isn't that Ye Feng?"
Meng Changli looked in the direction her sister's hand was pointing, and sure enough, she saw Ye Feng standing in a corner not far away, looking around, apparently observing the situation at her stall.
They just went to see them, but who knew that others were not idle either, and were observing them all the time.
This is really...
Meng Changli sneered and walked straight towards Ye Feng with her sister and two children.
Ye Feng soon noticed them, his eyes avoided them, and he wanted to leave, but then he thought this was too deliberate, so he held back and did not move, and even greeted the two sisters.
"Sister Chang Li, are you buying groceries? Shu Lan, are you done with the exam?"
The Ye family is so shameless.
Meng Changli said: "Ye Feng, what are you doing here in a sneaky way?"
Ye Feng looked around and said helplessly, "I, I'm shopping, why am I sneaking around? Sister Chang Li, did you misunderstand something?"
Ye Feng was talking to Meng Changli, but his eyes were always on Meng Shulan.
It's been a long time since I've had such close contact with her. I have to say that Meng Shulan has become more beautiful. She seems to be a little taller and more feminine, which is fascinating.
Meng Shulan felt disgusted when she met Ye Feng's vague gaze.
Indeed, people were just looking at her, and Meng Changli couldn't grasp anything. It would be a waste of time to continue talking.
Meng Changli snorted twice and said to Ye Feng with disdain: "If you have the energy to hang out outside, why don't you go back and think more about how to run your family business. I just went to your place to check, and there are a lot of them left. I don't know how many of them were sold. Is the little money you made enough for you to share?"
Meng Changli rolled her eyes at him and left with her people.
Ye Feng's face looked very ugly as he watched the two sisters leave.
Indeed, the second business still did not improve, and was even worse than the previous one.
He originally thought that the Meng family only had a few women and they would never be able to compete with them. However, he knew that these people were a bit smart and left his two brothers behind the last time they entered the city.
I still underestimated women. In the current situation, I have to be ruthless.
…
On the other side, Meng Shulan was also saying to her sister: "The methods of those people in the Ye family are far from this. They have already invested money. If this business doesn't take off, they may think of other shady tricks."
Meng Changli said: "No matter what they do, as long as it's not against the law, I'm not afraid."
To put it bluntly, the two are not on the same level.
She is planning to open a factory and build a brand. This town is just a springboard for the initial stage. If they want to fight for it, they can give it up. However, these people's behavior is too disgusting. Meng Changli would rather give it to irrelevant people than to them.
The two sisters returned to the yard, took the dishes to the kitchen, and gave them to the aunt who was in charge of cooking. Then they went to Meng Changli's personal studio which had been specially separated.
Although the place is not big and its current scale is small, Meng Changli is the designer here.
These were all set up according to Meng Shulan's suggestions. In the studio, Meng Changli not only has a good working environment and personal space, but can also keep subsequent new products confidential in advance.
When she arrived at the studio, Meng Changli took out two rolls of labels and showed them to her sister.
It was a white cloth strip with the simplest words and patterns printed in red, but it was the initial form of their trademark.
Meng Shulan laughed when she saw it.
"Sister, you came out so soon!"
