Chapter 355 Mistakes
When Jiang Shu arrived at Jiang's Silk Shop, the embroiderers had been working for nearly two hours.
The assistants brought cartloads of cloth and cotton into the shop, and the soldiers took away the finished winter clothes. The two groups of people performed their duties and worked in an orderly manner.
Jiang Shu checked and saw that everything was normal. When he was about to leave for the next silk shop, he heard a cry of surprise.
"Why is this cloth so fragile? It will tear with a little force."
"Hey, this one is moldy, all moldy..."
Jiang Shu turned back and took the cloth in question to check.
It was really moldy.
"Spread it out and take a look."
Jiang Shu asked the two embroiderers to hold one end of the cloth each and pull it out to check carefully.
Unfortunately, the entire piece of cloth had mold spots from the outside to the inside. A close sniff revealed a pungent moldy smell.
Jiang Shu held the cloth with both hands and gently applied force.
"Sizzle--" the cloth cracked.
Jiang Shu immediately frowned and ordered all the embroiderers to check other cloths.
A quarter of an hour later, the embroiderers said in panic: "Princess, they are all moldy and rotten."
If it was just moldy, it could be washed and dried before use. But these cloths were rotten and would break with a little force, and could not be used at all.
Jiang Shu's face was solemn, and he pursed his lips and asked the shopkeeper Liu: "How much cloth is there in this batch?"
Shopkeeper Liu said: "There are three trucks that have arrived at the store, with a total of 180 pieces. I don't know how many have not arrived yet."
"And I'm afraid the other silk shops have the same goods."
Jiang's own cloth had been used up a long time ago, and in recent days, it has been using cloth from other silk shops. This is the first time such a problem has occurred.
After taking a look at the cloth piled up in the room, Jiang Shu asked solemnly: "Whose goods are they?"
Was it an accident or intentional that the goods had such a big mistake?
Shopkeeper Liu said: "Huang's Silk Shop."
"Huang's Silk Shop?" Jiang Shu was a little unsure.
Shopkeeper Liu said affirmatively: "Yes."
Jiang Shu frowned even more fiercely.
Boss Huang is good friends with Jiang's father and has helped Jiang's family through a difficult time. Why would he give Jiang's family such goods?
Jiang Shu was puzzled. The most important thing now was to get new cloth to avoid delaying the construction period.
"What should we do now? Can we still do it today?" The embroiderers looked at each other and then at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu said decisively, "Do it."
"How... do we do it?" The embroiderers looked at the unusable cloth all over the floor, not knowing what Jiang Shu meant.
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Jiang Shu thought quickly and made a decision: "Manager Liu, send someone to find my father to find out whether other shops are like this. If there are problems with the goods, load them onto a truck and take them to Huang's house."
"Also, send someone to find Mr. Huang and ask him to come back to Huang's house to meet me."
"Yes." Manager Liu agreed and told several employees to act separately, while the rest of them and Xiu Niang loaded the damaged cloth onto the truck.
Jiang Shu left quickly and went to the nearby silk shop to check the situation.
An hour later, Jiang Shu arrived at Huang's house.
"Has Uncle Huang returned?" Jiang Shu asked the gatekeeper.
The servant said, "He is back. Princess, please come in."
Jiang Shu followed the servant into the mansion and arrived at the hall.
"Princess." Boss Huang stood up and saluted.
Jiang Shu waved his hand and said, "Uncle Huang, you don't have to be so polite."
After sitting down, Jiang Shu asked directly, "Uncle Huang, do you know that there is a problem with the cloth sent to Jiang's?"
Boss Huang shook his head with a guilty look on his face, "I just saw the goods sent back by Jiang's. I'm really sorry, I didn't know about it in advance."
Before Jiang Shu came, Jiang's had sent several carts of cloth. After asking about the reason, Boss Huang personally checked and was shocked.
Seeing Jiang Shu's doubtful face, Boss Huang explained, "This batch of goods was purchased by my son. I have asked someone to find him.
While the two were talking, Jiang's father arrived.
Jiang Shu asked about the situation in a hurry.
Jiang's father frowned and said, "There are eleven carts of goods from West City and North City, all of which are moldy and rotten."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu said solemnly, "Including the thirteen carts from East City and South City, there are a total of twenty-four carts. "
There are sixty pieces of cloth in a truck, which means there are more than a thousand pieces in total, and there must be quite a few in Huang's warehouse.
Huang's suffered heavy losses this time.
" "Oh!" Boss Huang sighed heavily, feeling very sad.
Jiang Shu and Jiang's father looked at each other, and after a few words of comfort, they spoke carefully: "Uncle Huang, is there any cloth that can be used in your warehouse?"
Boss Huang nodded and said, "Yes, I'll ask someone to restock it."
"Thank you, Uncle Huang. "Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
The important matter was urgent, and the loss could only be put on hold.
Boss Huang waved his hand and called someone
to make arrangements. Jiang's father also told Jiang's employees to follow and re-deliver the goods.
Huang's specializes in Yi Zhuang, and Yi Zhuang's business is bigger than Jiang's, with sufficient inventory.
But this delay will take at least half a day.
Fortunately, the first batch of winter clothes has been shipped out, and the second batch will not be a big deal if it is a day or two late.
The three of them were discussing the follow-up matters, and Master Huang hurried back.
When Boss Huang saw him, he angrily questioned: "What's the matter with this batch of goods!"
Master Huang dodged and said: "I was deceived by the supplier."
Boss Huang snorted coldly, slammed the table and asked angrily: "Didn't you check the goods when they arrived? "
Mr. Huang glanced at Jiang Shu and Jiang's father, looking a little embarrassed, and whispered: "Dad, I will explain this to you later. Now it is urgent to deal with the goods for Jiang Ji."
A man in his thirties was really embarrassed to be questioned in front of outsiders.
Boss Huang sneered: "By the time you solve it, Xiu Niang will go home to sleep."
Hearing this, Mr. Huang smiled and said: "Dad arranged it so quickly, I hope it won't delay things."
"Hmph!" Boss Huang stared at him and said, "Don't fool me, what's going on!"
Young Master Huang coughed and said with all his strength, "There are guests here, don't scare the princess and Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Shu and Jiang's father heard this and stood up to say goodbye.
They didn't leave before because they had some important matters to discuss. But now is obviously not the time to discuss matters, so it's better to go back first.
The father and daughter stood up and wanted to leave, but Boss Huang said, "Princess, Brother Jiang, please sit down. You are not outsiders. Today's matter is of great importance and must be clarified."
Boss Huang knew what Young Master Huang was thinking, but he was determined to embarrass him in front of Jiang Shu and Jiang's father, just to teach him a lesson and make him remember.
Otherwise, how could he feel at ease handing over the huge Huang family business to him in the future?
Jiang Shu, Jiang's father, understood Boss Huang's intentions. Seeing that he looked determined, he had to sit back. Young
Master Huang saw that he could not escape, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "When the goods arrived, the supplier showed me that they were qualified goods. I thought he was an acquaintance, so I did not test each car. I was negligent."
"Just a momentary negligence?" Boss Huang did not believe it.
"...Yes." Young Master Huang replied with a guilty conscience.
Boss Huang's eyes were cold: "Okay, then you go to the authorities."
Young Master Huang's scalp tightened when he heard it, and he whispered, "Dad, it's not necessary, after all, he is an acquaintance..."
"Goods worth two hundred thousand taels of silver, even if he is my own son, I have to arrest him and bring him to justice!"
Young Master Huang's heart trembled, and he suddenly knelt down: "Dad, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been blinded by the small profit of the fly head and fell into this big trap."
He knew that this matter had something to do with him!
Mr. Huang was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "Idiot!"
At this point, he could no longer hide it,
so Mr. Huang had to tell the truth. The matter was very simple. The supplier gave Mr. Huang a sum of money to let him accept the defective goods.
Of course, Mr. Huang was indeed deceived.
