The middle-aged man smiled slightly, then looked up at the painting and spoke slowly.
"The composition of this painting is very unique. I was attracted to it the first time I saw it. The distribution of elements and the white space are just right, with a wonderful sense of balance. It inexplicably evoked memories deep in my heart. It felt like I saw my own story in the painting."
Su Miaomiao listened quietly to the other party finish speaking.
Seeing the emotions surging in the other person's eyes, she believed that what he said was true.
It seems that the person in front of me really likes this painting, and I believe he will cherish it after getting it.
So when the other party asked her again if she was willing to give up, she decided to oblige him.
"You and I both love painting. I understand how you feel right now, so I'm willing to sell this painting to you."
When the other party heard this, he was immediately surprised and asked quickly.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Su, for your help. Please make an offer."
As soon as the words fell, everyone was surprised that Su Miaomiao actually shook her head.
What does shaking your head mean? Does that mean you're changing your mind and don't want to sell the painting anymore?
The three guests were suddenly a little panicked, and hurriedly tried to recall whether they had said something wrong that made Su Miaomiao unhappy.
Without waiting for them to ask about the situation, Su Miaomiao spoke directly.
"You set the price. Just give me whatever you think the painting is worth."
After Su Miaomiao finished speaking, she ignored the three stunned people and spoke directly to the foreman behind her.
"Go and call two men over to take the painting down and wrap it up for this guest."
The foreman took the order and went out to call for help, while Su Miaomiao turned around and continued to face the three guests.
The customer who wanted to buy a painting asked a little embarrassedly.
"Isn't this a bit bad? How about we let Shopkeeper Su make the offer?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. You and I both like the same painting. It's fate. You can give it to me as much as you want. Just think of it as making friends."
"This..." The man hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then it's as you say."
After the man finished speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said solemnly.
"Shopkeeper Su, I'm your friend. My last name is Zhang He, and my family has made a living through business for generations. I'd like to consider this three thousand taels of silver as the proceeds from the painting. Please accept it."
Three thousand taels, so much?
Su Miaomiao guessed that the guest who was willing to dine in box number one must be wealthy, so she let the other party bid for the painting himself. However, she did not expect that the other party would be so generous and would spend three thousand taels of silver at once.
There is indeed never a shortage of rich people in this world, and no matter what era it is, there are always people who spend money like water.
Su Miaomiao took a look at the banknote and didn't take it, but said.
"Master Zhang, isn't this a bit too much?"
"Not much. I also think it's a bit tacky to use gold and silver to measure Shopkeeper Su's beloved things. Unfortunately, Zhang is so poor that he only has these useless things left."
Seeing that Su Miaomiao was still hesitating, Zhang He continued.
"Zhang has already stolen my love today. If Shopkeeper Su doesn't accept these banknotes, Zhang will be ashamed. So, Shopkeeper Su, please..."
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Su Miaomiao interrupted the other person and took the banknote readily.
She only spent two taels of silver when she bought this painting, and now she has sold it for three thousand taels of silver, making a net profit of 2,998 taels of silver.
With this money she is one step closer to upgrading her system.
Zhang He was a man who was very formal and particular about formalities, and she couldn't bear to take advantage of him so much, so she asked on a whim.
"Mr. Zhang, what business are you in?"
Zhang He seemed to be surprised that Su Miaomiao would suddenly ask this question. He was slightly stunned for a moment, but quickly concealed his emotions and answered politely.
"My family has been running a cloth shop for generations. We have a stock of high-quality cloth from all over the country, including many suitable for Shopkeeper Su. I'll have my people send some to Shopkeeper Su later as a token of my gratitude."
Seeing that Zhang He misunderstood that she wanted something, Su Miaomiao hurriedly spoke.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, but no thanks. I just wanted to learn about your situation. I thought we could do business together if there was an opportunity."
Zhang He couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in his eyes after hearing this, and he asked.
"Not only does Manager Su run a successful restaurant, but he's also interested in the cloth business?"
He wondered if Su Miaomiao wanted to enter the cloth business and steal his business.
Normally, given his situation, he didn't need to take any of his colleagues seriously, but for some reason, he was inexplicably afraid of Su Miaomiao.
Maybe it was because the restaurant was refreshing and beyond his expectations, from its decoration to its dishes, service and opening activities.
Subconsciously, Su Miaomiao gave him the impression of a woman with extraordinary abilities, so he had this idea.
Fortunately, he soon saw Su Miaomiao shaking her head and said.
"I'm not interested in the cloth business, I'm interested in the money. As long as we can make money together, it doesn't matter what we sell. The important thing is that we make money together."
"oh?"
Zhang He raised his eyebrows. He was very interested in what Su Miaomiao said.
It's not about competing or replacing him, but about making money together.
He was worried about not being able to find a breakthrough in his business, so maybe this was a good opportunity.
It would be a good thing if they could really work together to make money.
Zhang He figured it out and felt that it was time to show his strength, so he quickly expressed it.
"Our Zhang Cloth Shop has close cooperation with major workshops and dyeing vats across the country. For example, the imperial weaving workshops in the capital and the aristocratic weaving families in Jiangnan are all my business partners. My network of influence spans the world. I have huge warehouses in various places, stocking countless stocks and able to allocate them at will. Many textile industry events respect me..."
