Chapter 29 Chapter 29
The cold wind was whistling, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and a group of young men were galloping on their horses, laughing wildly.
Young Master Chen was among them, dressed in a dark suit that made him stand out among the crowd of people in fur coats.
A group of people stopped their horses, and someone noticed that Chen Ershao was dressed differently and started chatting.
"Why is Chen Er wearing so little today?"
"You forgot, he wore a fur coat a few days ago, and because of his fat body, the young master of the Qian family mistook him for a blind bear, which caused quite a joke."
"He's wearing so little this time, maybe he wants to wash away the humiliation he suffered before?" However, the person who said this didn't think this would have any effect.
Although Young Master Chen is dressed stylishly now, he has just been out for a short time and the cold wind may make the other party unable to bear it and have to put on fur coats again. Maybe some people have forgotten what happened before, but after he did this, those who didn't know it before now know it.
Listening to the whispers of others, Young Master Chen looked at their bloated figures, with a hint of pride between his brows.
Laugh, laugh, you will soon see how complete my preparations are.
When hunting, many people kept running and focused on hunting, so they didn't feel too cold. But as they slowed down and prepared to return to the camp built by the servants to rest for a while, the cold wind was like a knife, cutting their faces and causing pain. Even if they were wearing fur coats, they could not resist the slight chill.
"It's too cold!" someone murmured. "I should have stayed out earlier."
"Why are you still talking when you're already having fun? Besides, no matter how cold you are, you can't be as cold as the second young master of the Chen family. I'm afraid his clothes will shrink from the cold..."
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the other party stopped talking halfway and looked to the side with his eyes wide open, the person asking the question also looked over there and was stunned.
Because of the cold, many people huddled up and their faces turned pale, but Chen Er, wearing a thin suit and standing straight, showed no signs of being cold at all.
Don't say that Chen Er was pretending not to be cold. Even if it was a pretense at the beginning, it had been so long. With such thin clothes, he would have been sick from the cold. How could he be so energetic?
The movements of the two were still somewhat noticeable among the crowd. Two led three, three led four, and soon, everyone present discovered the situation on Chen Ershao's side.
The person who had just made fun of Chen Ershao felt slapped in the face. The only thing he was thankful for was that the wind was so strong that his voice was slightly covered up and not heard by everyone, otherwise he would have become a laughing stock.
"Brother Chen, why... aren't you cold at all?" Someone who had a better relationship with Young Master Chen asked soon. Even though the others pretended to be indifferent, they all pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the secret.
Second Young Master General Chen saw everything that the others did, and even though he remained expressionless, he was actually beaming with joy in his heart.
It was no wonder that after he discovered that the sweater was very warm, he was thinking about how to make a splash. Who remembers what happened before now?
With his face saved, Young Master Chen felt much more relaxed and no longer concealed the news about the sweater.
Fifteen taels of silver for a piece of clothing is indeed expensive and most people cannot afford it, but the people present are all rich kids, so spending a few dozen taels to buy a rare piece of clothing is not a big deal.
Especially after hearing Young Master Chen say that there were few sweaters, and looking at the expressions of the people around him, he realized that many people were tempted, and became even more anxious.
There are only a few of these sweaters. If someone else buys them, even if they just want to look cool for a few more days before them, they will not accept it.
Young people, who doesn’t want to be elegant? It’s just that the weather is cold, and it’s hard to have both elegance and warmth. Now that there is a way to have both, everyone can’t wait to try it out.
…
Shopkeeper Fang didn't expect that Young Master Chen would bring him such a big business. The few sweaters that Jiang Huai left here were almost sold out in an instant.
In fact, if Young Master Chen had not mentioned how many sweaters he had, everyone present knew each other and it would not be easy to offend anyone for a sweater. Some people would want to buy all the sweaters at once, so apart from Young Master Chen, he would be the only one who could wear them so stylishly.
Don’t worry about whether others can find it later, at least you can have it all to yourself now.
Shopkeeper Fang did not pay attention to the flirting between the rich kids, but was caught up in sweet troubles.
These sweaters were obviously not enough. When other rich kids learned that the sweaters were sold out, they urged Manager Fang to get more. Manager Fang agreed and finally sent these distinguished guests away.
Looking at the money he earned from selling sweaters, Shopkeeper Fang couldn't help pinching himself to make sure it wasn't an illusion, and his face immediately broke into a smile. A few days ago, he was still worried about the sales of sweaters, but now sweaters are indeed in short supply.
Although he might only be able to make money this once, he could earn five taels of silver for a sweater. If he sold more than a dozen, he could earn fifty or sixty taels, which was basically free money.
Shopkeeper Fang couldn't wait to ask Jiang Huai for the goods. After all, the sweaters would sell best when these rich young masters were still interested in them. If he delayed for a while, the other party might lose interest.
This is not the most important thing. What if other clothing stores also make sweaters? Then this business will be snatched away.
Shopkeeper Fang knows too well how quickly information spreads among his peers.
However, when the topic of looking for Jiang Huai came up, Shopkeeper Fang remembered that it was Jiang Huai who took the initiative to come to the door every time. Even though he knew Jiang Huai's name, he didn't know where he lived. Fortunately, he remembered that the sweater was made of wool, and Jiang Huai had asked for Luo Yuan's address before. Maybe he could find out about Jiang Huai by finding Luo Yuan.
Just as Manager Fang was anxiously looking for Jiang Huai, the clothing shops and cloth stores in Anyuan Prefecture also heard about this.
It’s not that they are really so well-informed, but some rich kids who failed to buy sweaters at Fang Ji’s Garment Store went to other stores to ask after leaving Fang Ji, and naturally leaked the news about the sweaters.
The business of dozens of taels of silver did not make them jealous. The main reason was that a dozen rich young men came to Fangji Garment Store to buy sweaters, which was fresh, and the new fabrics also made them curious.
Listening to the rich kid's description, the sweater was thin, close-fitting, and warm, but it was not made of leather. It seemed to be made of fur, soft and warm, which really made them confused.
Some shop owners wanted to see what the sweater looked like, but after seeing that other clothing stores didn't even know what sweaters were, the people who bought the sweaters cherished them even more and were reluctant to let them study them.
The rich kids who didn't buy the sweater were also anxious, and they would urge people to go to Fang Ji to ask if the sweater had arrived.
The reason why he acted so urgently was, firstly, that he was really anxious, and secondly, that he was worried that if he didn't go diligently, the sweater might arrive one day but the quantity would be small. Wouldn't that mean other people would buy it first and he would have to wait?
Manager Fang had never been urged like this before, but luckily he finally found Jiang Huai.
He handed all the money he earned to Jiang Huai, and took some newly knitted sweaters from him.
"Mr. Jiang, is that all? Do you have any more?" Even so, Shopkeeper Fang was still a little unsatisfied and wanted to get some more sweaters from Jiang Huai.
But what he took was the last stock here, and Jiang Huai had no extra goods to give him.
Shopkeeper Fang was unwilling to give in for a while. After all, the commission for each sweater was five taels of silver. As long as he could get a few more from Jiang Huai, he would have no worries about not being able to sell them.
However, Jiang Huai was indeed out of stock. Seeing this, Shopkeeper Fang could only remind him, "There are a lot of customers who want this sweater right now. You have to take advantage of this favorable situation and sell it quickly. Otherwise, when the favorable situation dies down, the sweater will be hard to sell."
Jiang Huai knew what Manager Fang meant and nodded carefully. The price of the sweater was indeed only for this period of time. Unless he chose hunger marketing to stabilize the price of the sweater, otherwise, as long as sales were expanded, the price of the sweater would not be able to maintain this number.
To expand, we must expand the production line.
Jiang Huai came to this conclusion after a brief analysis.
When Luo Yuan learned that Jiang Huai was planning to recruit people to make yarn and sweaters, he was the first to recommend himself.
Because she didn't have to worry about Luo Yuan, and because she ate well and rested well every day, He's health had improved a lot these days, and she could now take on the work of spinning and weaving.
Jiang Huai had never mentioned the expansion of enrollment before, and Luo Yuan hadn't mentioned this matter either. What if Jiang Huai thought he was greedy? But now that Jiang Huai brought it up, it was natural that the benefits would be kept within the family.
After spending these days together, Jiang Huai found that Luo Yuan was very grateful, which showed how He educated him. He also had some good feelings towards He. Besides, the job he was recruiting had to be trustworthy and could not be hired casually, so He was a good choice.
However, He alone might not be enough, and another one would be needed. Jiang Huai was thinking about where to recruit more people when Xiao Jingzhao offered to help.
"You're going to recruit people?" Jiang Huai was surprised.
Xiao Jingzhao nodded and said, "The method of making wool and sweaters is a unique secret that cannot be easily revealed to others. I was walking outside the city and met some refugees. I can sign a contract to sell myself, which is safer."
Jiang Huai was silent for a moment, but still agreed with Xiao Jingzhao's suggestion. He knew why Xiao Jingzhao did this. If it was an ordinary employment, it would be difficult to keep the secret once someone poached him. But if there was a contract of sale, the price of betrayal would be higher.
Although the wool sweater's method may be discovered by others in the future, you still have to be careful now.
Moreover, Jiang Huai felt that if he wanted to get things done, he really needed people he could always trust, otherwise it would be difficult to do business.
Hearing the two men say that the hired workers had to sign a contract to sell themselves, Luo Yuan looked a little embarrassed. He was willing to let He come to work for Jiang Huai, but the contract to sell themselves was beyond his expectations. Even though Jiang Huai and Xiao Jingzhao did not look like mean people, he was unwilling to do it.
"Sir, my mother..." But at the same time, Luo Yuan also knew that the making of wool and sweaters really needed to be kept secret, and he suddenly became conflicted.
"Just get He's company to sign a confidentiality document." Jiang Huai shook his head. All he asked for from He's company was just an ordinary employee, so he didn't ask for too much.
