Chapter 295 Designing Some Elegant Flower Notes
At this moment, he heard Gu Yuexuan's words and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said with a headache, "I really can't argue with you, but I can be sure that your Second Aunt is a person who truly loves embroidery. The embroidery shop that my husband and I have worked hard on for many years should be handed over to her. This kindness should not be wasted. I am already very satisfied."
But Gu Yuexuan still seemed unsatisfied.
She gazed eagerly at Boss Liu and said with a smile, "Boss Liu, you've been running this embroidery shop for many years. I'm sure you've accumulated a lot of stable customer base. Your business dealings with us must have been quite frequent in the past, right?"
Gu Yuexuan rubbed her hands and cleverly escalated the topic: "If Boss Liu still plans to engage in embroidery business in the county in the future, I naturally wouldn't make such an unpleasant request. But aren't you going south soon?"
"Since we will no longer be operating in the county, the customer base we've worked so hard to build will lose its value. How about transferring it to us?"
Gu Yuexuan's face was serious, and her tone was firm and powerful. "If we can consolidate the customer network provided by Boss Liu, then the variety and quantity of goods we purchase from you will only increase in the future. This is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. Boss Liu won't be stingy with this little bit of resources, right?"
Boss Liu was completely convinced by her words and was speechless.
Madam Liu listened for a long time, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she gently covered the corners of her smiling lips with a silk handkerchief. She glanced at Gu Yuexuan with a look of reproach, and said with a hint of teasing in her tone: "You little girl may be young, but you are so cunning and cunning, and you are so eloquent."
"After spending half a day with your Second Aunt, you not only snatched away all the treasures my wife and I treasured, but you're even coveting these too?"
Gu Yuexuan was rebuked but didn't take it seriously. She rubbed her nose and smiled innocently, "Isn't it just that I'm hoping to keep this embroidery shop from losing its luster in your hands, so that we can enjoy the joy of wealth together in the future?"
Mrs. Liu finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
Boss Liu waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Forget it, forget it. If I keep these, they will be useless. I might as well give them to you all at once."
"Just a heads up, business dealings are a wonderful thing, but next time you buy from me, don't let this happen again."
"Don't try to impress me with sweet words when you come to me to buy goods!"
Gu Yuexuan was delighted to get the item she had always wanted. She nodded in agreement immediately and vowed that she would never maliciously lower the price again when purchasing goods.
She never mentioned "no pressure", but she was determined not to give in and said "never pressure again".
Tu Su Minfei and Cheng Jing'en also entered the embroidery shop shortly afterwards. When they found that Gu Yuexuan and Yu were both busy and they couldn't find any place to intervene, they simply leaned aside and helped to sort out the accounts.
When the accounts were roughly sorted out, Yu solemnly took out the silver notes she had brought from home and went to the government office with the Liu couple to handle the transfer procedures.
When the contract was officially signed, Yu insisted on having his grandfather's name written on it.
She carefully folded the contract and whispered, "Although it has been agreed that the embroidery shop will be handed over to me for management, this silver is after all a family joint venture and should belong to everyone in the Tu Su family. It can't just be written on my name."
From then on, no matter whether the embroidery shop's business was good or bad, profitable or loss-making, all income would be deposited into the family's public account, and the distribution would be subject to the grandfather's wishes.
Under Tu Suting's skillful management, the wine-making workshop in the village is like a carefully painted painting, and its operating procedures are arranged in an orderly manner according to his plan.
Tu Su Minfei and Gu Yuexuan did not notice anything wrong, however, Cheng Jingen, who had been accompanying them all the way, had a hint of surprise in his eyes.
After experiencing a catastrophe, the changes in the Tu Su family seem to be far more than just Tu Subo and Tu Su Minfei.
The Tu Su family today is indeed a completely different family compared to the past.
The matter was settled, and the huge stone hanging in the hearts of several people finally fell to the ground.
In front of the embroidery shop is a bustling commercial area, and in the back is a quiet courtyard with two small side rooms attached.
The Liu couple and their children lived in the back. According to the agreement, they would move out in five days, and then the Yu family would be able to take over the whole thing.
Although the matter had been settled, Yu Shi did not feel relieved at all, but became even more anxious.
If she hadn't considered that Gu Yuexuan needed to take medicine on time, she would almost want to go home immediately.
At the table arranged by Cheng Jingen, although Yu Shi had no appetite, she still did not forget to say to Gu Yuexuan: "Xuanxuan, are the lists of old customers that you asked for just now complete?"
Gu Yuexuan hesitated a little as she held the chopsticks in her hand. "Boss Liu did give me a thick list, but I'm not sure if it's complete."
"It doesn't matter. Having this manuscript is better than knowing nothing at all."
Yu showed a satisfied smile, patted Gu Yuexuan's cheek gently, and said, "You are really thoughtful."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have been so anxious that I wouldn't have thought of this important matter."
Talking about her specialty, Yu's speech became more calm. "The news of the embroidery shop's change of ownership is difficult to conceal, and we don't intend to hide it. However, we must do everything we can to maintain the customer base we have accumulated over the years and prevent it from being lost easily."
"I remember when I was young, my family had a manager who was in charge of the cosmetics business. Whenever the store launched a new product, he would order his staff to carefully prepare a small gift from a list of regular customers and send it to each customer's home."
"First, it lets customers know about the store's new treasures, and second, it helps consolidate the loyalty of existing customers by offering small favors to prevent them from switching to other stores. I think we could learn a thing or two from this strategy."
Although the embroidery shop does not sell cosmetics or spices, nor does it spend a fortune to give each regular customer a gorgeous dress, it is not difficult to make some exquisite small items such as handkerchiefs and purses.
With a little creativity, even the smallest items can become eye-catching, and these thoughtfully given small gifts may lead to big things in the future.
Gu Yuexuan understood and nodded solemnly. "Then, in order to make the gift more beautiful when we go back, should we design some elegant floral paper? It would be best if we could draw the patterns of one or two sets of clothes on the floral paper."
Yu seemed a little surprised: "Drawing on flowery paper?"
Gu Yuexuan thought of the brochures distributed in the business world in her previous life and explained, "How can we give gifts without a list of items? We can be creative with the list."
"Second Aunt, sketch out the designs of the clothes you'll use to attract customers. Then hire a few skilled artists to paint these exquisite garments and make them into floral paper. Send these floral paper along with the small gifts you've prepared. When the recipients see the floral paper, they'll be tempted and perhaps even visit our shop the next day."
Nowadays, noble ladies rarely go out, and they don't just sit around and shop for clothes and jewelry. Usually, they invite a familiar embroiderer to come to their house to take their measurements, and then have the embroiderer deliver the finished work to their homes.
