Chapter 133
Zhong Qiao carefully collected the details she mentioned - an old lady from Shanghai, wearing an exquisite cheongsam, and brought an interpreter wearing gold-framed glasses. She sounded either rich or noble, but it was difficult to associate such a person with their class, so how could she easily give this opportunity to Liu Sanhua.
Zhong Qiao had some doubts in his mind, but he did not dampen Liu Sanhua's interest. Instead, he decided to go with Jingui to visit this big customer from Shanghai.
The next day, Zhong Qiao found his home with the address given by Liu Sanhua.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, this is so grand." Jin Gui looked around, carefully examining the facilities. "Look at this door, and these steps. Even the flowers and plants at the door are carefully tended. You can tell at a glance that this is a wealthy family."
Zhong Qiao tugged at her sleeve and made a shushing gesture: "Don't act rashly."
"What's wrong?" Jingui asked.
Zhong Qiao lowered his voice and said, "Don't you find it strangely quiet here?"
Since they entered the door, they didn't meet anyone, not even the neighbors who lived near the house. It was as if the street was empty.
"Maybe these rich people don't like to go out?" Jin Gui said carefully.
Zhong Qiao shook his head and was about to reply, but the next second, some noisy sounds came from behind him.
The two men looked back and saw that it was an old man in a Zhongshan suit walking his dog. He looked gentle and elegant. However, the difference was that the dog he was holding had messy hair, was dirty, and was struggling violently.
"Someone's here." Jin Gui whispered, "Sister Zhong Qiao, this means they just rarely go out, not never go out. What should we say now?"
Zhong Qiao stared at the dog for a long time before retracting his gaze. After a moment's deliberation, he said, "Since we're here, knock on the door first."
She was also very curious about what kind of big client it was.
Jingui went forward and knocked on the door. After about 2 minutes, the door opened. A man wearing gold-framed glasses opened the door.
Seeing two strange women at the door, the man was stunned: "Who are you?"
Zhong Qiao quickly answered, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you in advance. My employee told me yesterday that he took your order. I thought he was joking. After all, you have so many orders, so I didn't come to ask."
A hint of sudden realization crossed the man's face. "Oh, you mean that little girl."
"Thank goodness she saved my old lady. Before I could even thank her, the little girl was so happy when she heard we were going to buy all your goods that she ran home like crazy."
Zhong Qiao and Jingui looked at each other. This should be the three flowers.
"She has a quick temper, but she has a good heart. Didn't expect you?"
"Not really," the man replied politely, "but you have to wait a moment. I have to go in and ask the old lady."
Zhong Qiao and Jin Gui didn't dare to say no, so they let the man go and ask. After about six or seven minutes, the door was opened again, and the man stepped aside to make room for them: "Please come in, both of you."
Zhong Qiao glanced at him and walked into the door calmly. However, Jin Gui, who had never seen the world, had never seen such a scene before. She followed Zhong Qiao closely, not forgetting to look around.
If she looked at it for a second longer, she would gasp.
Because it is too luxurious.
Flowing water, rockery, courtyard, corridor, and then into the inner room, all the electrical appliances that were scarce in this era are available.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, we're going to be rich." Such a wealthy family spent money like water. Jingui suppressed her emotions and whispered, "What they spend is enough to feed us for several months."
Not sure if he was heard, the man walking in front let out a faint laugh, but for Jingui's sake, he said nothing.
The old lady Liu Sanhua rescued was drinking coffee leisurely at this moment. She was exactly as she described, delicate, sophisticated, and decent. Although her face was full of wrinkles and her hair was gray, she looked like a lady from a noble family.
"Please take a seat." The man led them to their seats and then left.
Jingui was stunned by this scene.
The old lady smiled gently and said, "You are the people the little girl brought here? Where is she? Why didn't she come with you today?"
Jin Gui stammered nervously and couldn't answer at all, so Zhong Qiao spoke first to answer.
"She caught a cold yesterday, so we let her rest at home."
The old lady felt guilty when she heard this. "It's all my fault. If it weren't for saving me, she wouldn't have caught a cold. Hey, I'll ask Jia Ming to send her some supplements later."
This was Liu Sanhua's business, so Zhong Qiao didn't say anything. After the old lady finished expressing her feelings about falling into the water, she changed the subject: "Old lady, I heard you want to buy all our clothes. Are you serious?"
The old lady took a sip of coffee and said, "Of course, don't worry, I won't give you a penny less, but I do have some conditions."
Zhong Qiao knew that there was no free lunch in the world, so he simply didn't interrupt her and let her state her conditions.
"We're only giving you a deposit because we can't guarantee the quality of the next batch of clothes. We'll pay you the balance after our people have inspected them and made sure they're flawless. If you accept this deal, we can continue the discussion. If you don't, I'm sorry."
Jin Gui had been with Zhong Qiao for a while and had read some information about deposits in college, so she understood it immediately, but she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Zhong Qiao hesitated for a moment, still unable to make up his mind.
If she could take over this business, she could split up and move to a new place. If not, she would have to save more with her current savings. Besides, the matter was too urgent and there were still many things that had not been investigated clearly, so she didn't dare to take it over.
Another point is that the opportunity is right in front of her and she must seize it.
The two intensely conflicting emotions prevented Zhong Qiao from making the most rational judgment.
The old lady said, "I've seen your clothes, and they're pretty good. But you have to be considerate of us. So many merchants are vying for cooperation with our family. Your family is really lucky. It's a pity that I'm a very suspicious person. What I hate most is people who go back on their words and try to fool me afterwards."
"So, I'll only pay a deposit before I get the goods. If your people put their heart into making the clothes and I see their value and quality, I'll pay you directly."
Jin Gui pulled Zhong Qiao's sleeve and said, "What do you mean? Do you want to agree? If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when the next one will come."
Zhong Qiao hesitated for a long time and said, "What is your budget? How much will the deposit be?"
The old lady grinned and said, "You are quite clever, little girl. If it were someone else, they would have been scared out of their wits. The budget and deposit will be twice the market price. It depends on whether you want it or not."
