Chapter 53: Farsightedness
Luo Simo's end-of-month summary arrived as expected.
Pu Qiongzhi looked at the several names mentioned in her summary.
She flipped through the expense account given by Headmaster Luo and finally settled on that number.
"Yan'er, go there in person, allocate some money, and tell them not to be stingy with their money."
"The scientific examination is approaching, don't let other trivial matters affect the students' performance!"
Yan'er glanced at the account book and said, "Madam, looking at the account book, it's already a good condition."
"I'm afraid of unexpected complications, so I'd better prepare some money just in case." Pu Qiongzhi closed the booklet.
This is what she relies on to cultivate the Pu family in the future.
She has a lot of spare money now, and she can't let these children suffer losses.
…
During this period, while the draft was going on, Pu Rongda was not idle either.
Because the styles of baby clothes are novel and the fabrics are of higher quality, many people have noticed the benefits of these clothes.
With similar patterns, people also prefer to wear the same clothes as the dolls.
Therefore, the previous batch of cloth was in short supply.
While Pu Rongda was ordering the cloth workshop to speed up the production, he was also suppressing the Chaoxia Cloth Workshop.
It’s not that competitors have to fight to the death, but this kind of unorthodox approach is really unpleasant.
Especially these two days, Pei Wanqing has been in the palace for the selection of concubines and has no time to take care of it, which is a good time.
However, he did not suppress them for no reason.
Pu's clothing store's business quickly picked up, and the fabrics and clothes from Chaoxia Cloth Workshop could not be sold.
They once again imitated Pu and made identical doll clothes, hoping to sell them.
But Pu’s craftsmanship is unique, and the materials used in the clothes are also different.
Chaoxia Cloth Shop only knows how to imitate and copy, but does not know how to adapt.
This was the pit Pu Qiongzhi had dug early in the morning, waiting for them to jump in voluntarily.
Their fabrics were originally rough and stiff, making them unsuitable for making doll clothes. In addition, they directly modified ready-made clothes into doll clothes, which greatly increased the cost. Therefore, the selling price had to be kept the same as Pu's in order to avoid losses.
However, the fabrics, workmanship, embroidery, etc. used by the Pu family are impeccable, and no one can refute the price they sell them at.
But the products of Chaoxia Cloth Shop were inferior in every way, and they were unwilling to lower the price, so naturally no one bought them.
The popularity of the dolls happened almost overnight, and Pu acted quickly and sold this batch of doll clothes right after.
How big is the demand for baby clothes of the same fabric and style?
In fact, only that group of people can afford to buy dolls, let alone doll clothes.
So the same trick obviously didn't work the second time Chaoxia Cloth Shop used it.
At this time, Pu Rongda, who had always been keeping an eye on the Chaoxia Cloth Shop, asked someone to give the owner of the Chaoxia Cloth Shop some advice, that is, to confuse the shop owner with these baby clothes and let the peddler take them out and pretend that they were sold by Pu's people.
Unexpectedly, the owner of Chaoxia Cloth Shop really took the bait and did such a thing.
In just a few days, a large number of customers came with these baby clothes and asked to return them to Pu's cloth shop.
But how could Pu Rongda not have a backup plan for everything he had planned?
With both witnesses and evidence in hand, Pu Rongda sued Chaoxia Cloth Shop for deceiving the people and falsely accusing the Pu family.
Originally, plagiarizing Pu's designs was merely a moral issue, but now these things can be considered a crime.
Gao Zhicheng had been in a bad mood recently, and he was in a bad mood when he encountered such a thing.
Business was all about honesty and integrity. Chaoxia Cloth Shop had stolen blueprints and even dared to pass them off as genuine goods, using the Pu family's name... He would never tolerate such acts and would punish them severely!
According to the regulations of Daliang, the owner of Chaoxia Cloth Shop was sentenced to three years in prison, and was required to return the goods to the people and compensate Pu family.
The first news Pei Wanqing received after the audition was that Chaoxia Cloth Workshop was completely finished.
At this time, Pu Rongda also realized another thing.
There is an inseparable connection between the shipping business and the Ninth Prince.
In other words, when the Ninth Prince went to the south of the Yangtze River, he also dealt with shipping matters.
Yes. The Pei family robbed the shipping company, and it was Pei Wanqing who was behind it.
Pei Wanqing was fond of the Ninth Prince, so she naturally offered the boat to him with both hands.
The Pu family father and daughter did not expect that Pei Wanqing would not first improve the shipping business and then present it to the Ninth Prince whom she supported, but would directly transfer the business to him... How could you please others in this way?
You know, although the shipping business is doing well at this time, this shipping business is not doing well!
Even Pu Qiongzhi couldn't figure out what Pei Wanqing meant.
On the other side, Pei Wanqing did give some drawings and concepts to the Ninth Prince.
But she didn't expect that the family in this shipping company were all stubborn. It was harder to get them to give up their inherent ideas and make furniture than to kill them.
Not only that, they know nothing about furniture. Even if you tell them what the furniture looks like or draw a blueprint, they still don't understand the specific structural proportions.
The information Pei Wanqing provided to Gongsun Huaili was difficult to implement and was a waste of time.
Before seeing the profits from this business, Gongsun Huaili would not trust her for no reason and spend a lot of time and energy on this matter.
More importantly, Fang Miaozhu's doll business is booming, which is much better than Pei Wanqing's shipping business which is not making any progress.
"Your Highness, you can see now that these dolls can really make money!" Fang Miaozhu grabbed the Ninth Prince's hand and said anxiously as soon as she saw him.
Seeing her like this, Gongsun Huaili instantly calmed down and said, "Yes, Miaozhu, I didn't see it before... I misunderstood you."
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
"Your Highness, please don't say that. Miaozhu did all this for Your Highness." Fang Miaozhu was a little moved.
She finally got through that period, and the rift between them was cleared.
Gongsun Huaili nodded, "I know everything. Thank you for your hard work."
He pulled the corners of his mouth into a smile, and Fang Miaozhu couldn't help but throw herself into his arms and cry.
She felt like a princess who had gone through countless hardships and finally waited for the moment when the prince recognized her true feelings.
Gongsun Huaili coaxed her for the whole afternoon, and in the evening, she handed him the key to the shop.
"Your Highness, I can't stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I just hope I can be the woman standing behind you. I will always support you!" Fang Miaozhu said to him seriously.
Gongsun Huaili understood her hidden meaning and responded, "Miaozhu loves me so deeply, I will not let her down..."
"It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll come and accompany you tomorrow."
…
Back in the carriage, Gongsun Huaili wiped his bony hands with a handkerchief.
"Your Highness, these dolls do sell well, but... Pu's family has made a lot of money from this, and Miss Fang is not the head of the family."
"Pu?" Gongsun Huaili's originally furrowed brows relaxed and his hands paused.
"Yes. Our people have found out that the Pu family has a large stake in this shop, but Miss Fang doesn't seem to know about it. Moreover, the clothes of these dolls are also produced by the Pu family. I heard that it is caused by the backlog of goods in Lin'an that cannot be shipped."
"If you calculate the time, this was during the period of being trapped by the plague. The decision made by Lady Wen Shu was truly far-sighted!"
Gongsun Huaili lowered his head and couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "She has always been like this. I am not as good as her."
