Chapter 56 Talking Business
Shen Xiuqi's face was serious, and he frowned and said, "Jinzhu, I invited these comrades home as guests."
Shen Jinzhu stamped her feet in anger.
"Brother, why did you ask them to do this? Have you forgotten? She was the one who embarrassed me in public last time."
Then he turned to Su Su and said, "I haven't had time to settle the score with you yet, and you dare to come here again! I must teach you a lesson today, and see if you dare to go against me in everything!"
"Someone, catch her for me!"
The servants around immediately gathered around. Sister Fang looked terrified, thinking they had entered a den of thieves.
"Don't mess around, we are military dependents. If anything happens here, you will be in trouble!"
Su Su remained calm and turned around and said, "Sister Fang, it's okay. Boss Shen will definitely not let this go."
She looked at Shen Xiuqi, "Don't you agree? Boss Shen."
There was a hint of appreciation in Shen Xiuqi's eyes.
He frowned tightly, glanced at the servant, and said, "Hurry up and get down."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jinzhu immediately shouted, "Brother! I'm your biological sister. Why don't you help me teach them a lesson? You're even trying to stop me. I'm going to tell Dad!"
Shen Jinzhu looked at Su Su hatefully, turned around and ran out the door.
Shen Xiuqi frowned and ordered the people beside him, "Follow the young lady and don't let her be in danger."
Su Su had no interest in staying here any longer, so she said:
"I'm not used to owing people things. I'll pay you for these organzas according to the Shanghai market price."
Chen Xiuqi said sincerely, "Comrade Su, I sincerely want to give you these organzas. Of course, I also have my own selfish motives. I actually want to ask you for advice on running a department store. Please help me."
Su Su raised her eyebrows, quite satisfied with Shen Xiuqi's attitude, and said, "Go ahead."
Chen Xiuqi nodded. "Comrade Su, you may have noticed that the department store's business is getting worse day by day, while the supply and marketing cooperative across the street is getting more and more crowded. My father has become so worried that he has fallen ill, because running a successful department store is what he has always wanted to do."
“So I want to ask you, is there any way to change this?”
Sister Fang looked at Su Su with a puzzled look on her face and whispered, "Rich people are really strange. Why am I asking you this? You don't run a department store!"
Lin Hongyi pursed her lips and said, "Maybe the Shen family knew what Comrade Su said just now."
"Why are you still eavesdropping on us?" Sister Fang looked at Su Su and asked, "Big sister, will you help them? I think Miss Zhu from his family is not friendly to us! Her eyes are almost growing to the sky."
Su Su was amused by what Sister Fang said. Although she didn't like Shen Jinzhu, she was ready to help Shen Xiuqi.
After all, she planned to make soap and sell it, and she needed the help of the department store platform.
Su Su smiled and said to Shen Xiuqi, "It's not really a question of asking for advice, but I'll just briefly share my thoughts. I hope it will help solve Boss Shen's problem."
"Boss Shen, what do you think is the difference between a department store and a supply and marketing cooperative?"
Shen Xiuqi frowned, "Are all the goods complete?"
Su Su smiled and said, "This is indeed the advantage of department stores, but it is also its disadvantage."
Shen Xiuqi pursed his lips and said, "Comrade Su, please continue."
Su Su nodded and said, "It's true that department stores have a wide range of goods, but the supply and marketing cooperatives also have most of the daily necessities of the people of Black City. I wonder if Boss Shen has done any research, but the prices at the supply and marketing cooperatives are much cheaper than those at department stores. In comparison, people are naturally more willing to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives."
Shen Xiuqi looked serious, nodded and said, "That's right, but if the goods are not complete, can it still be called a department store? And the quality of the goods inside is definitely better than that of the supply and marketing cooperative."
Su Su smiled and said, "Of course the goods must be complete, but we can do a good job of differentiation, publicity and service."
"Differentiation, publicity and service?" Chen Xiuqi's eyes lit up, and the look he gave Su Su became more and more intense.
"I understand! Comrade Su, thank you so much."
Talking to smart people is never tiring. Su Su narrowed her eyes and continued, "Boss Shen, I also want to discuss a business deal with you."
Shen Xiuqi became interested and quickly asked, "What business?"
Su Su smiled and said, "I want to set up a special counter in the department store to sell the soap I make. I will pay you the rent according to the market price."
Shen Xiuqi looked embarrassed. "Comrade Su, I am very grateful for your help. I am willing to set up a special counter, but there are already many products like soap in the department store. If you want to sell soap, I am afraid you will not make much money."
Su Su smiled and said, "What if my soap can beautify and nourish your skin?"
Shen Xiuqi's eyes lit up, he immediately smelled a huge business opportunity, "Comrade Su, are you serious?"
Sister Fang chimed in, "Boss Shen, how could this be true? I discovered this the last time I went back to Shanghai to visit my family. These days, girls in Shanghai all wash their faces with soap. After washing, their faces feel so nice and smooth. Look at my eldest sister, her skin is so good, you can't even see any pores. It's all because of that soap."
Shen Xiuqi's gaze fell on Su Su's face and he nodded in approval. The girl in front of him was so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off her.
So he immediately said:
"Okay, then Comrade Su, you can make a batch of soap in advance and sell it in the department store as a trial. I won't charge you rent for now. Once we're sure it's feasible, we can sign a contract. Of course, I'll also give you a discount on the rent."
Su Su's eyebrows curved. This Chen Xiuqi was indeed a good person and could be a long-term partner.
"Okay, I'll deliver the soap in three days."
Chen Xiuqi nodded and planned to have someone drive Su Su and the other two back to the military family compound.
Lin Hongyi turned around and said, "I have something else to do. I won't be going back to the military area right now. You guys go first."
Sister Fang: "Okay, Dr. Lin! See you later."
Su Su and Sister Fang got in the car and soon arrived at the gate of the military district.
After getting off the car, Sister Fang said with a smile on her face, "Big sister, with this yarn and silk, we can go back and start making the performance costumes. Just wait and wear them. I guarantee you'll be the most beautiful one in the entire military region!"
Su Su nodded and said, "I definitely believe in the craftsmanship of Sister Fang and the other sisters-in-law."
"By the way, Sister Fang, I plan to make more soaps and sell them in department stores later. Would you like to help me?"
Speaking of this, Sister Fang couldn't help but praise: "Big sister, I now think more and more that you are really amazing. After all, you were born and raised in Shanghai. Your mind and vision are really different from those of ordinary people!"
"I just went to the Shen family and felt terrified. The Shen family is really rich, but you are so open and generous, not afraid at all, and you were able to negotiate a deal. It's really amazing!"
