Tian An stood up, resting his chin on his hand and turning around twice, "It's not impossible."
Peng Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then Tian An said, "But I will only cooperate with you in this shop. No one else, including your family, can interfere."
Then he looked at the others, "It's the same for everyone. Can you accept that?"
Then he walked over to Gu Jinyan and said, "Sister Jinyan's shop is her own. Her family doesn't interfere with her. She has to bear the losses and gains herself."
Peng Zhang agreed readily. After all, his own small treasury was enough for him to build it, so it didn't matter even if the shop went bankrupt.
What's more, he believed in Tian An and had enough confidence. After all, he was a veteran in the business world. If he could still ruin his shop, he would rather buy a piece of tofu and kill himself than give up his business.
The others were silent for a moment. Although they were the legitimate daughters of the family, the family was large and there were many people in it. Even if they were favored, it was impossible for them to just build a shop.
Wu Yufei's family is okay. There are only a few people in the family and her parents are away all year round. She only needs to discuss it with her three brothers.
The same thing happened to Qin Yalan. She was her father's only daughter, so everything would be left to her anyway. Her grandfather, Imperial Physician Qin, was busy studying medicine and didn't care about these things at all. As long as her father agreed, there was no problem.
The most troublesome are the families of Zuo Yunshu, Wei Lingran and Song Zhiyun. They are all old-established families with many people and complicated relationships. There are a lot of legitimate daughters, legitimate sons, illegitimate daughters and illegitimate sons in their families. It is a mess.
Fortunately, the three of them knew their family situation and also understood Tian An's concerns, so they didn't blame her for proposing this condition.
Seeing the three people's disappointed faces, Tian An sighed and said, "Don't give up so quickly. Go back and discuss it with your aunts and see if you can think of a solution!"
The three of them forced smiles, but they held no hope. In a large family, everyone prospers and suffers together, making it difficult for individuals to stand out.
After the morning opening, Tian An settled the restaurant. After lunch, everyone had nothing to do. Peng Zhang suggested that Tian An go to check on his shop so that he could clean it up and open it as soon as possible.
Seeing that the business of each of Tian An's shops was booming, he had been itching to try it. He had finally waited for the opportunity when Tian An agreed to it, and he had to confirm it quickly, otherwise what if she changed her mind?
The shop that Peng Zhang and Tian An were going to open together was in the outer city, and the eight of them took three carriages to go together. Peng Zhang naturally led the way in his own carriage, while Tian An, Gu Jinyan, Qin Yalan, and Wu Yufei rode in the middle of the carriage, and Zuo Yunshu, Wei Lingran, and Song Zhiyun followed in the last carriage.
On the last carriage, Wei Lingran said dejectedly, "My family will definitely not agree to give me a shop."
Song Zhiyun's mother nodded in agreement, "My family is the same. What a pity, such a good opportunity."
Zuo Yunshu bit her lip and said, "My mother does have two dowry shops, but..."
"Dowry shop!" Wei Lingran suddenly had an idea. "Sisters, tell me, if I ask my mother to give me the dowry she was going to give me in the future, will she be angry?"
Song Zhiyun looked at her speechlessly, "I don't know if your mother will be angry, I only know that if I dare to go to her like this, and my father finds out, I will definitely be beaten."
Wei Lingran was stunned.
Zuo Yunshu said, "I think what Lingran said makes sense."
Wei Lingran's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Song Zhiyun looked at the two of them with a look of astonishment on her face, "Are you two possessed by demons?"
Zuo Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "We can do this, and then this... After all, man proposes, God disposes. Let's give it a try! If it doesn't work, forget it."
The two thought about it and nodded hesitantly.
The shop that Peng Zhang brought them to was previously a restaurant. It had two floors, the first floor was the lobby and the second floor was the private rooms. The area was much larger than the Huanyanfang in her inner city.
If she were to use it to open Huanyanfang to sell skin care products, the layout wouldn't need to be changed much, and the decoration could be even more luxurious than her main store in the inner city.
Tian An told him his thoughts, and Peng Zhang smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I thought so too."
After the cooperation project was confirmed, Tian An immediately asked someone to bring pen and paper to write a contract. After the two signed the contract, Peng Zhang happily took the contract and went to prepare.
Their cooperation is actually similar to franchising. The decoration style and name of the store must be consistent with the head office. Just follow it. With Peng Zhang's ability, he can get everything done in less than half a month.
There was another business deal, so Tian An had to go back and prepare. After returning to the inner city, everyone went their separate ways.
Deng Xue hesitated to speak along the way. Tian An looked at her several times before sighing and saying, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Deng Xue hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss, if you let Miss Zuo and the others do business with you, aren't you afraid that they will take away all the business from your own shop?"
What did Tian An think she was going to say?
"We call this financing. Each store is far enough apart that we can't compete with other stores for business. Besides, we can get half of the profits from each store. The more stores we open, the more we get. This is a good thing."
Deng Xue nodded half-knowingly, "So, we're the ones who benefited."
Tian An shook his head. "This is a good thing for both parties. With our own funds and capabilities, we can't open so many shops at once."
Peng Zhang and his team have a shop but lack the skills to succeed, but if we work together, we can all profit, which is called a win-win situation."
Deng Xue felt that she understood, but it seemed that she didn't understand. She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it. Anyway, what the lady said was good was good.
Here, Zuo Yunshu and the other two went to look for their mothers as soon as they got home.
Seeing her daughter coming over, Mrs. Zuo smiled kindly, "Didn't you go to attend the opening of An An's new store? Why are you back now?"
Zuo Yunshu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mother, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Madam Zuo also asked sternly, "What do you want to discuss with me?"
"That's right, I want to open a shop." He then emphasized: "A shop of my own."
Seeing that Madam Zuo didn't stop her, she continued, "I want to buy your dowry shop in the east of the city with my mother. I'll return it to you when I make some money."
Madam Zuo looked at her daughter in confusion and said, "You want to start a business in the shop? I'll give it to you. What's there to talk about between us, mother and daughter, borrowing and repaying?"
Zuo Yunshu shook his head. "Mother is the mistress of the house, and she has many concerns about what she says and does. There are many people in the mansion. If mother only gave it to me, the others would definitely make a fuss. But if I spend the money to buy it myself, they can't blame mother."
Mrs. Zuo was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to say such words. Her eyes immediately became moist. Her daughter had grown up and felt sorry for her!
