Chapter 294 Killing Two Birds at Once
"Boss Liu speaks so frighteningly, how dare we stay any longer?"
Before Boss Liu could interrupt, Gu Yuexuan said with a smile, "Let's be frank. How about we have someone move all the remaining fabrics and embroidery items out of the store, count them piece by piece, and then set the price based on the count?"
This is obviously not feasible.
If you calculate carefully, it is indeed difficult to get even the slightest benefit from reselling it.
Boss Liu knew in his heart that it was indeed difficult to raise the price today. He sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, we are old acquaintances. Since you really want it, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore."
"Although the remaining fabrics in the store are not much and not valuable, the deed to the store alone is worth three hundred taels. This is real hard currency!"
"Four hundred taels is indeed not enough, how about six hundred taels?"
Mrs. Yu shook her head slightly: "Four hundred and fifty taels, I can't do anything more."
Boss Liu was almost crying, and said with a hoarse voice: "This is really too little, please add some more!"
"I can't do any more."
Yu insisted, "I've already scraped together these four hundred and fifty taels of silver by selling everything I had and scraping together everything I could. I can't come up with a penny more."
"If Boss Liu really doesn't agree, then we won't force it."
Boss Liu looked embarrassed and remained silent.
Gu Yuexuan's eyes swiveled as she slowly said, "Actually, Boss Liu, there's no need to be too regretful. Although the shop has changed hands, isn't the key to the business still in your hands?"
"This place is remote, making it difficult for caravans to pass through. Silk and satin materials are hard to come by. Hasn't Boss Liu been focusing on this business in the south? Sell your shop to us today, and from now on, you'll buy all the materials you need from us. Isn't the profit inherent in this back-and-forth?"
Boss Liu responded with a smile: "This embroidery shop only has this much space. How much fabric can you use?"
"That's hard to say."
Gu Yuexuan's brows were filled with indescribable pride. She glanced at Yu and said with a beaming expression, "You are of course aware of my second aunt's superb skills. With such a master like her in charge of the embroidery shop, customers are naturally coming in an endless stream."
“Although the store may not need much material in the short term, who can predict the future changes in the long run?”
"Perhaps in just three or two years, this embroidery shop will expand in scale and its business will be booming. By then, will Boss Liu still have to worry about the quantity of goods he supplies here?"
The future picture described by Gu Yuexuan is indeed very exciting.
Boss Liu showed a conflicted look on his face. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment. I'll go in and discuss this with my wife."
Gu Yuexuan nodded obediently. Boss Liu clenched his fists and turned to leave.
After Boss Liu disappeared from sight, Yu nervously wiped the cold sweat from her palms and wiped it hastily on the hem of her clothes. Then, she leaned close to Gu Yuexuan's ear and said in a trembling voice, "Xuanxuan, how can you easily promise to purchase a large amount of goods in the future? If everything has not been finalized, then doesn't it..."
"Shhh."
Gu Yuexuan, who was negotiating with someone for the first time, mustered up her courage, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her nervousness. She tilted her head slightly and responded softly, "What's so difficult about this?"
"Cheng Jing'en taught me that describing a promising future in business talks doesn't cost a penny. All you need to do is speak freely and exaggerate. After all, in business, both parties are bound to be insincere. Success is to convince the other party. Didn't Boss Liu believe our words?"
"Look, isn't Boss Liu already tempted?"
Yu was speechless for a moment and had no answer.
Half an hour later, Cheng Jingen and Tu Suminfei, who had been waiting anxiously, finally saw Gu Yuexuan walking out of the embroidery shop.
Gu Yuexuan spoke impatiently: "Immediately send a few skilled workers to the embroidery shop to take inventory of the existing stock."
Tu Suminfei couldn't help but smile: "Did you make it through?"
Gu Yuexuan's brows were filled with indescribable pride. She glanced at Yu and said with a beaming expression, "You are of course aware of my second aunt's superb skills. With such a master like her in charge of the embroidery shop, customers are naturally coming in an endless stream."

Gu Yuexuan spoke impatiently: "Immediately send a few skilled workers to the embroidery shop to take inventory of the existing stock."
Tu Suminfei couldn't help but smile: "Did you make it through?"
"I must hurry over and help Second Aunt convince Boss Liu, lest he regret it later. Otherwise, wouldn't all my and Second Aunt's efforts in persuading him be wasted?"
As soon as Gu Yuexuan finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Cheng Jingen and Tu Su Minfei looked at each other and smiled. After a moment, they couldn't help but laugh happily in unison.
This move was just right, making people sigh that they had underestimated her abilities before...
Thanks to the assistants summoned by Cheng Jingen, the items in the embroidery shop were carefully counted in less than two hours.
Yu was particularly meticulous. From complete cloths to tiny needles and colorful silk threads, every item, big or small, was recorded in detail by her.
At the same time, Gu Yuexuan was engaged in a slick negotiation with Boss Liu: "Boss Liu, look, today's deal not only solves a major issue for you and your wife, but also forges a good relationship with the Tu Su family, paving the way for future business. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
Under the bargaining knives wielded by Yu and Gu Yuexuan, Boss Liu could barely break even and did not make a penny more.
