Chapter 754 Chapter 756. Asking for a visit
Jin Qianqian didn't think she had any good ideas. If she offered discounts and promotions like she did in Beijing, this Madam Liang would probably think that she had bad intentions and wanted to ruin her shop.
Besides, the relationship between the two families was not enough for her to risk offending others to help Madam Liang.
"It is said that different trades are like different mountains. Miss He has also seen that there are only a few shops under my management that are doing well. I don't know much about the inside story of Madam Liang's shops, so naturally I can't give any guidance.
You're wasting your time with me, why don't you find someone who can really help you?"
Such a blunt rejection made Liang Heshi unable to sit still. She was a noble lady when she first entered the Liang Mansion. Now she had to lower herself to ask for help from Jin Qianqian, but she didn't expect that she would be the one to take advantage of her.
"It seems that we have come to the wrong place today. Sorry to bother you." He pulled up his niece and said, "Let's go."
Jin Qianqian also stood up and looked at Mingshi who was standing beside her, "Mingshi, please see the guests off on behalf of me."
Lianghe family, "..."
It was not until the aunt and nephew returned to the carriage that he came to his senses.
"She just sent us out like that," and she let the maid send them out. Liang He's face looked even uglier.
"Aunt, we have someone to ask for our help after all." If she had been more patient and not so impulsive, they would not be on their way back home now.
Besides, Liang He has another purpose today. He wants to bring the soap back to the He family. If the shop under the He family can do this business, it can also bring good profits to the He family.
Liang Heshi, "...I just don't like it. From her tone, it seems like she's not going to help us. Why should we humiliate ourselves?"
"But the purchase of soap..." He Xiaoyu still felt it was a pity. Before the Chinese New Year, he heard that the Hou family had already purchased a batch of soap from the soap factory, which would boost the business of his shops.
I think besides them, there should be many other people who would come to ask for help.
The entire Yongchang County is so small that there must be many people who would have this idea.
After all, it is an item for daily consumption, so it would be great even if it was placed in a grocery store.
"Hmph, I've come here in person, but she still refuses to give in. It seems like the only option is for the master to step in." Although Liang He complained like this, she felt a little headache when she thought about Liang Shi's personality.
Sure enough, when he returned to the mansion and found the study and said this, Liangshi's brows were so furrowed that he almost caught a fly.
"You are joking. Everyone does business based on their own abilities. If someone really has a good method, wouldn't he make money on his own?" Liangshi felt that his young wife was a little whimsical. She was indeed too young and could not withstand any hardships.
Seeing the disdain in the old man's eyes, Liang He felt humiliated. She was in her prime, married to a middle-aged man, but she had to be on guard everywhere and was despised, but she had to swallow her anger.
"But she is too independent. I even brought Xiaoyu to her house to beg her, but she not only didn't give me face, but she also didn't give you face.
As soon as Gu Wenheng arrived, he took on too much responsibility and ordered his officials around. Many ladies have complained to me before, saying that this Lord Gu is too demanding in his work and often scolds the officials for trivial matters.
He may have forgotten that you, the Governor, are here in Yi Province.
It hasn't been long since they came here, but they have already turned Yongchang County upside down. Will there be any place for our family in the future?"
Liangshi was also feeling a little unhappy, otherwise he would not have agreed so immediately when several other families came to him asking to rent shops.
Which of these century-old families doesn't have a few century-old shops under their control? He thought that no matter how good Jin Qianqian was in business, she could never be better than these people.
Unexpectedly, these people were so disappointing that they were beaten badly right at the start.
I heard that Tianle Restaurant is still hanging on.
On the contrary, the Tianfu Restaurant, which had been hit hard before, was connected to the Tianfu Inn, attracting all the passing merchants, and business seemed to be booming.
Especially the soap factory, which suddenly appeared overnight, and even he, the governor, heard about it.
The prospect of making a fortune that day even made him a little tempted, let alone others.
"Don't talk nonsense here, Lord Gu and I are working together to seek benefits for the people in this area.
If you feel that you cannot manage those shops, I will have someone sublet the shops along with the goods.
You just need to take good care of this backyard and take good care of our Feiling."
Liangshi has been in the officialdom for so many years that he has become very smooth in dealing with people.
Gu Wenheng was able to gain the favor of the Emperor, and based on this alone, he could not be easily shaken.
He has lived in Yi Province for many years, and there is no place for him in the capital anymore.
In another two years, he will be retired and his offspring are not doing well. It would not be wise to offend Gu Wenheng at this time.
"master……"
"Go away," Liang Shi looked at her with a cold face, and Liang He could only turn around and leave.
"That's a woman's opinion," Liang Shi called the servant boy guarding the door, and summoned several aides to discuss the matter together.
After Jin Qianqian received several ladies in a row, she knew why everyone came.
These people not only came from their own dowry shops or their parents' homes, but also wanted to compete for the sale of soap.
Jin Qianqian had already promised the entire Yongchang County soap business to Hou Cunjin, and she took this opportunity to let everyone know.
This made everyone even more depressed. To be honest, they were no match for the Hou family. They were willing to marry their legitimate daughter to Mr. Gu's cousin.
When Hou Cunjin first started to marry into the Gu family, these people were watching the fun behind the scenes.
The eldest daughter of a noble family is always a treasure. They are all discussing behind the scenes that the Hou family is in decline. In order to marry Gu Wenheng, they are willing to give up even their own daughter.
Now it seems that this is the smartest person.
Others just follow behind and get benefits silently. If this deal continues for a long time, it will only make money and no losses. On the contrary, they feel a little short-sighted by making such a comparison.
Wu Houshi heard the news today and came to watch the fun. When she saw these people, each of them walked out with their heads hung, she felt even more proud.
These people had previously laughed at me, saying that I had married my niece off to a lower class in order to please Jin Qianqian.
But now that these people see the benefits, they regret it.
"Madam Gu, don't worry, I will make sure my brother runs the business well and will not embarrass you." After everyone left, Wu Houshi said to Jin Qianqian with a smile.
"I still believe that Master Hou can do this well," Jin Qianqian was somewhat glad that this matter had been settled before the New Year. Even if these people came to her door for help today, she would not offend anyone.
"I heard that your niece has been with you all the time except for the few days during the New Year when she comes home?" Jin Qianqian asked with pretended curiosity.
