Lu Yunzhou made no further moves, so she naturally wouldn't walk into the lion's den.
The two slept soundly.
As dawn broke, I threw myself into my new work.
Qiao Wanyue was still busy with the shop's affairs. Nanbeiju had settled down. Aunt Xie asked Nanbeiju if she wanted to open a branch. Although Nanbeiju had only been open for two months, it had already become well-known in the capital. People came in droves, and some even came to her to cooperate. She didn't lack money or shops, so she thought it was better to be the only one to dominate the market than to cooperate.
Perhaps she had suffered enough oppression in her past life, and in this life she only wanted to take control of the situation.
Nanbeiju is going to open a branch, and there's also the fish shop I promised Yunying before the new year. All of these require prior investigation and market research. It would be too tiring for her to do them herself, and she's also afraid of losing money with a single product category.
Until Qiao Wanyue saw the department store.
"You want to open a general store?"
Qiao Wanyue nodded, "I've been thinking about it. Instead of opening a separate store and expanding the product range, why not just open a store similar to a supply and marketing cooperative, selling a little bit of everything? We could call it a general store."
Aunt Xie thought her idea was good, but nowadays it's easy to open a restaurant, but it's probably not easy to open a supply and marketing cooperative. These things are basically monopolized by those clans.
Regardless of the procedures, will this store be targeted once it opens?
What if someone targets you and comes looking for trouble?
Qiao Wanyue had considered it, but only a few large families had the special business license. However, she knew she couldn't get close to them with her connections. Besides, what ability did she have to get their help?
This has led to a stalemate.
She wasn't one to sit idly by and wait to die. Since there was no immediate solution, she decided to find one.
Before she could come up with a solution, Old Mrs. Liang arrived again.
Seeing Old Mrs. Liang gave her a headache.
"Why are you here again?" This old lady comes to eat hot pot almost three times a day whenever she is in the shop. She is worried that the old lady's stomach will not be able to handle it, but this old lady is even more stubborn than the Wen family.
He was a guest, and he wasn't refusing to pay, so he was very polite, but his gaze kept falling on her.
All she could do was ask Aunt Xie to prescribe some medicine to reduce internal heat.
"What's wrong? You look so worried." Old Mrs. Liang sat at her private table.
As for why it was a specially made table, it all started with the old lady's extravagant spending. On her first visit, she generously slapped down five hundred yuan on the table, saying she wanted to reserve the entire table.
The seating at Nanbeiju is flexible, even the private rooms are flexible. Mainly because it has been open for so long, no fools have been willing to book a table at the hot pot restaurant. Aunt Xie could only ask Qiao Wanyue for her opinion.
Qiao Wanyue met her once two years ago. At that time, she was a very gentle old lady. Now she is an old lady with gold trim. She can't refuse when someone makes a request.
However, the idea of reserving a spot is not very reasonable in Nanbeiju. There are too many people inside and outside every day, so it is not appropriate to leave a spot empty. After negotiation, Qiao Wanyue promised that there would be a spot for her as long as she came.
Grandma Liang pays a deposit of one hundred yuan every month.
Only then did she give up.
The North-South Residence was packed with people today; apart from the rest area where Qiao Wanyue was sitting, it was basically full.
"Thank you, Auntie Xie, bring the pot here." Qiao Wanyue waved her hand.
Grandma Liang couldn't wait to sit opposite her.
"Tell me about it."
Qiao Wanyue treated it as casual conversation and mentioned her idea of opening a store. She knew she couldn't open a store directly at first, as that would be too ambitious. She would open a supply and marketing cooperative first, and then open a store when the environment improved.
Grandma Liang, "You want a specially supplied business license?"
Qiao Wanyue nodded.
But it's not that easy.
Old Mrs. Liang had a plan in mind. "Why don't you ask your husband?"
