Chapter 266 Alliance
Seeing that the woman had left, Xu Miaomiao looked at Gu Yuanniang and slowly said, "Sixth Lady is becoming more and more eloquent now."
Gu Yuanniang smiled slightly, shook her head, with a self-deprecating expression, and walked towards the kitchen.
When Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, she smiled with some relief and went back to her own business.
"Now, our first priority is to expand the department store and set up a wine shop."
Xu Miaomiao took the map of the capital, pointed at it on the table, and said to everyone.
Song Weiwei had a serious expression on her face, staring at the map in Xu Miaomiao's hand.
"I have also observed these days that most people in the capital go to South City when they want to drink. So if we open our shop somewhere else, I am afraid it will be sparsely populated and business will not be ideal. But if we also open it in South City, if we don't have any new and exotic wines, I am sure those customers will look for our old shop, and not many people will come to our shop."
"Miao Miao, don't worry about this. We have more novelties than them. Add these special cakes and we will definitely make a name for ourselves in the winery."
"Yeah." Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly: "The wine shop is secondary. The most important thing is to use the wine shop to expand the reputation of the department store. After what happened before, the department store has some reputation in the capital, but it is mostly bad. If we want to restore this reputation, we must do our own thing well so that others can't find any faults."
Gu Yuanniang nodded in approval.
Song Weiwei said in confusion: "There are so many people in this world, and their ideas are all kinds of strange. How can we satisfy everyone?"
"It's not that we have to satisfy everyone." Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Weiwei and spoke slowly, "But we must make sure that every customer who comes to our store leaves satisfied. I hosted a banquet at the general's wife's house before, and those people praised our cakes. As long as we establish a good reputation, our business will naturally not be bad in the future."
Xu Miaomiao began to explain.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang also nodded: "But the business in Nanshi is so good, who would be willing to give up the shop?"
Xu Miaomiao was silent for a while: "I have thought about this. If there are no vacant stores, we might as well join in. In short, as long as it can expand the reputation of our department store, it will be fine."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang also nodded: "Then Miaomiao, do you have any good suggestions now?"
"I have investigated the South City and found that most of them are wine shops with deep financial resources. In particular, the Xiangchun Shop and the wine shop are always fighting each other. I think Mr. Wan, the boss of the Xiangchun Shop, is a reliable and solid person. Why don't we join them? We don't have to start from scratch and we can use the reputation of the Xiangchun Shop to expand the prestige of the department store."
"I agree. I agree."
When Song Weiwei heard about the fragrant and mellow shop, she jumped up excitedly: "I have tasted their wine before, it is so delicious, and their wine is rich and mellow, the taste is really amazing."
Gu Yuanniang looked at the other wine shop and said, "Miaomiao, you said that these two wine shops are competitors, but if we just join Xiangchunpu, then this wine shop will not..."
Gu Yuanniang wanted to say something but stopped herself, but Xu Miaomiao understood it clearly. She was just worried that our joining would lead to an imbalance of power between the two parties.
Xu Miaomiao thought for a while and said, "We will not focus on the wine shop in the future. We just want to use it to expand the reputation of the department store. Whether the two businesses are imbalanced or not has nothing to do with us. On the contrary, the better the business of Xiangchun Shop is, the greater the profit we will get. The most important thing now is how to convince Boss Wan."
"That's easy." Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately said, "Boss Wan is also a person who likes to drink. It just so happens that I have brewed some fine wine these days. I will give it to him to taste. If he really thinks it tastes good, I'm sure he will find ways to keep me here without us asking."
This is not an exaggeration by Gu Yuanniang, but her wine-making skills are indeed unique. In addition, she likes to study new things and has never succumbed to classical wine-making methods, so her skills are getting better and better.
If Manager Wan is really a money-loving person, he will definitely find ways to keep her. If not, and he looks down on women like everyone else, then there is really no need for them to negotiate with Manager Wan anymore.
Xu Miaomiao agreed with Gu Yuanniang's opinion, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, Liu Niang, then you can go to Xiangchun Shop in the next few days and discuss business with Manager Wan."
Gu Yuanniang nodded, thinking of settling the matter early, so she got on the carriage and hurried out in the afternoon.
As soon as Gu Yuanniang left, Xu Qingshan came into the store. He looked around the store and then set his eyes on Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, long time no see."
Xu Miaomiao was still a little surprised. Her mother had just come in the morning, and her son came hurriedly to her in the afternoon. The people in the Xu family really loved to come to their place.
Xu Miaomiao looked at Xu Qingshan and slowly said, "Why is it that Mr. Xu is interested in visiting my department store today?"
Xu Qingshan bowed to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, please don't tease me. I came here today to apologize to you. My mother must have said some bad things in your store this morning. Please don't blame me."
"Of course not." Xu Miaomiao shook her head slightly and looked at Xu Qingshan: "How did you know that? Could it be that Madam Zhang was so angry that she went home and threw a tantrum again?"
Xu Qingshan remained silent after hearing this, but Xu Miaomiao understood the meaning of this. She smiled helplessly, and her eyes did not follow Xu Qingshan. Instead, she sorted out the account book in her hand and said, "If you want to find Liu Niang, I'm afraid you are too late. She has already gone out today."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Xu Qingshan was stunned and shook his head stiffly: "I'm not here to look for her, I just want to apologize to you."
"It's okay." Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said calmly, "We didn't take Madam Zhang's words today to heart, so please don't take it personally. We women just don't know how to take things lightly. If we make her unhappy, please don't take it personally."
"In that case, I'll take my leave first." Xu Qingshan bowed slightly to Xu Miaomiao, slowly raised his feet, turned around and was about to leave.
Xu Miaomiao suddenly said: "Wait!"
Hearing the voice behind him, Xu Qingshan was also a little puzzled, and slowly turned his head: "I wonder if Madam Xu has any other instructions?"
"Don't you want to know why Liu Niang didn't marry you?"
