Chapter 52: Make a decision when necessary
Gongsun Huaili's heart skipped a beat. He took it carefully and held it in his hand.
Did she understand his feelings and respond?
When men and women give gifts to each other, to put it bluntly, it is a private transaction.
This jade pendant is not a rare item. There are countless of them in Pu Qiongzhi's warehouse.
But this is something she wears around her waist, which is already very ambiguous.
But if there really was something wrong, Pu Qiongzhi could also argue that the jade pendant was used to buy books and the payment was just cash.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Pu Qiongzhi's character has always been so low.
But she felt she was not wrong.
This is the way the world is, so harsh on women.
She was just trying to protect herself because she wanted it all. What was wrong with being a little despicable?
…
After the selection, both the selected and unselected ladies returned home.
Soon, the imperial edict will be delivered to each of their homes.
When Pei Wanqing came out, her steps were light and joyful.
She ordered a banquet at Ruilou to entertain several other chosen prince consorts.
Pu Qiongzhi had no time to dwell on Gongsun Huaili's affairs. She had originally just wanted to watch the fun, but she ended up bringing trouble upon herself.
Anyway, she has already prepared the nets to be cast, the traps to be set, and the pits to be dug.
Just wait for the final result.
In the past two days, she has been competing with the Yuelai Inn across the street.
As the imperial examination approached, the Ruilou building across the street also followed their example and hired a teacher to give lectures.
The storyteller on Pu Qiongzhi's side was personally selected by Nangong Hua.
The storytelling industry has always been about telling stories and talking about the past and present.
The person chosen by Nangong Hua is very capable, his name is Bai Yan.
He is not only well-versed in ancient and modern times, but also able to quote from classics and criticize current social ills.
Such a person can be considered a leader among storytellers.
But the price Pu Qiongzhi offered was almost astronomical, and he couldn't refuse.
At the beginning, when this storyteller appeared, he was very popular among some dignitaries.
Everyone has more or less made some judgment about the new news in their minds, but few people would make wild statements in the capital.
Especially under the feet of the emperor, there are ears even behind the walls, so everyone must be careful of what they say.
But having such a gentleman who can speak for them and express what they are thinking is also a way for them to vent.
However, the storyteller at the Yuelai Inn opposite did not follow the usual path.
He was not talking about these things, but telling the stories in the storybook written by Fang Miaozhu in a vivid way.
These stories attracted a lot of customers. Although they did not affect Ruilou’s current business, they were enough to arouse vigilance.
Because they all know that the real competition will be after the students arrive in Beijing one after another.
The guests they wanted to snatch away were the students who were coming to Beijing to take the imperial examinations.
If Pu Qiongzhi read her script a few days ago, it was to understand Fang Miaozhu.
Looking back now, I am wondering how to deal with this situation.
However, the appearance of the storyteller in Yuelai Inn was not Fang Miaozhu's idea.
She is busy in the doll shop now.
Pu Qiongzhi happened to pass by and took a look from afar. There was a long line in front of the store.
Nowadays, almost every wealthy woman in Beijing has a baby.
I heard that some people hold doll parties where everyone sits together to study their own dolls.
The batch of baby clothes that Pu family had modified were also sent to Beijing and sold at a very high price.
Fang Miaozhu was also very surprised when she saw the doll's interchangeable clothes.
"Is this dress made by the Pu family? The size is just right... This way, I can change clothes!"
It is amazing that such a large quantity of clothes can be produced in just a few days.
She was convinced that Pu was making money by using her baby this time.
However, she never imagined that Pu Qiongzhi was her partner.
She was just shocked by Pu Qiongzhi's reaction speed.
On the other side, Pu Qiongzhi finally sold out the batch of cloth that she had in her hands through another form.
"Are they here?" Pu Qiongzhi looked at the group of newcomers standing outside.
These are a group of people who were newly transferred from Jiangnan to Beijing and specially prepared for Ruilou.
Among them is Mu Jicui, whom Ji Deben introduced to Pu Qiongzhi last time.
"Young Master, this is such a brilliant move! I heard the profit from selling that fabric is twice as high as before!"
Nowadays, the shop in Lin'an has made the young master's reputation legendary.
It is said that the young master is actually the reincarnation of a disciple of the God of Wealth, and his skill in heaven is to turn stones into gold.
"But, modifying the doll clothes did take some time and delay a lot of things, and these are also costs."
There are also some sober people who look at this matter from a more calm perspective.
Although they also admired the young master, they hoped to learn some skills from her.
"But this time it was our designs that were leaked. We are already impeccable to be able to save the situation to this extent! We still have a lot to learn about this method of turning losses into profits!" Mu Jicui listened to everyone talking about this matter and stood up to speak.
She was a sharp-tongued person, always eloquent and quick-witted. Sometimes even Ji Deben was confused by what she said!
At that time, when the fabric incident occurred, everyone was at a loss and could only trust the young master!
Not to mention that the plague was rampant at that time. They couldn't imagine what kind of pressure the young master was under to solve the problems one by one!
Pu Qiongzhi heard them talking about the fabric, so she just opened up and talked to them -
"When doing business, it's inevitable to encounter such situations. Most of the time, being able to stop the loss in time is a blessing."
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
"If you can't think of a way to turn a loss into a profit, don't be too greedy. Remember, if you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences."
But then she changed her tone and said, "However, when it comes to business, besides experience, skills, and the quality of the goods, luck often has something to do with it."
"If we really encounter a bad situation, we will really suffer a loss, but there is no need to be overly depressed."
"Even if it's me, I wouldn't do any business that only makes money and never loses money."
"I was born with talents that will be useful, and even if I lose all my money, I will make it back. This is the first business principle I want to tell you."
After giving these newcomers a lecture, Pu Qiongzhi asked Qiao Zhangshi to take them away.
Nangong Xue's team has set off for Wanning Prefecture.
After Pu Qiongzhi helped him with other matters, she made a proposal to him.
Nangong Xue naturally would not refuse to do what she wanted to do.
Before leaving, Pu Qiongzhi told him that it was Nangong Hua who took the initiative to bring up this matter.
For this reason, Nangong Xue was so moved that she burst into tears along the way and wrote a lot of sour letters to Nangong Hua, which made Nangong Hua angrily write three pages to scold him.
In addition, there was another thing that made Pu Qiongzhi feel helpless - the issue of the land west of Lin'an.
The failure to build the original salt field directly affected Gao Zhicheng's performance evaluation.
It's time for him to end his overseas assignment and return to Beijing to take up his post.
I finally got through it smoothly, but now I'm stuck here.
Even if it was because of his outstanding performance during the plague, it was ultimately due to the help of the Pu family, the Ninth Prince and others.
If it is a flat tune, it is really meaningless.
This made Gao Zhicheng very anxious. He tried every possible means and wrote a letter to Pu Qiongzhi, asking her if she had any suggestions.
He knew that he had let Pu Qiongzhi down by tricking her into investing a large sum of money, but he was also desperate.
Pu Qiongzhi had no idea about the matter and was at a loss as to what to do.
There are not even many people living in the west, and it has always been poor. What can she do?
