Ma Wan understood immediately after hearing this: "Are they trying to steal our market?"
"Yes," Zhang Xingrong explained the situation of Taoyuan rattan weaving to Ma Wan. "...They are different from Qiaozhen and Longyun. Qiaozhen and Longyun have no innovative spirit and rely on stealing from others to survive. They steal from us, but are always one step behind us, so they can't make it big. But Taoyuan is different. Taoyuan doesn't rely on stealing, they sell their own products. Therefore, our biggest competitor in the future will probably be Taoyuan."
Ma Wan understood: "So this Taoyuan will take away more of our market share in the future."
Zhang Xingrong nodded. "That's right. We'll probably have a lot of competition with Taoyuan in the future. Director Ma, we need to prepare to open a store. Seeking help from other department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives means relying on others. It's unsafe not to have a sales chain in our own hands. I'll be preparing to open a store. Please have Ertao come over tomorrow."
Ma Wan nodded, and the two discussed for a while before hanging up the phone.
"Xiao Zhang is very busy!" Zhou Da walked in with kind concern.
Zhang Xingrong perked up, thinking of Zhou Jie's tutoring, and suggested, "Uncle Zhou, I'm not in the provincial capital these past two days, so Zhou Jie missed her tutoring. So, you can ask her to come over tonight. If she comes over later and I'm not here, she can come over the next day."
"Okay, okay," Zhou Da nodded quickly, but when he thought about how busy he was, he started to worry, "Xiao Zhang, are you too busy to have time?"
Zhang Xingrong said, "It's okay. You need to rest at night. It's no problem to spare an hour. By the way, when Lu Ran comes back, you don't need to ask Aunt Dazhu to bring you food."
Zhou Da thanked him several times in a hurry, and Zhang Xingrong went back.
When they got home, Lu Ran had not come back yet. Zhang Xingrong was about to cook when Aunt Dazhu's voice came from outside the door.
"Aunt Dazhu, come in!"
Aunt Dazhu came in with two lunch boxes: "Xiao Zhang, I cooked too much food, bring some over!"
Zhang Xingrong said, "Aunt Dazhu Lu Ran is back, so we can just do it ourselves from now on."
"Oh, it's okay. Most of these vegetables are grown by ourselves. There's plenty for us to eat. Don't be polite!" Aunt Dazhu waved her hand. "By the way, I've already watered the vegetables in your backyard. Don't overwater them!"
Zhang Xingrong was very grateful: "Thank you, Aunt Dazhu."
Although there are some idle gossips in this compound, there are also kind people like Zhou Da and Aunt Dazhu.
“You’re welcome!”
Zhang Xingrong poured the dishes into her own bowl, and Aunt Dazhu took the lunch box back home.
Now that she had the vegetables, she could just cook a meal. Thinking of Lu Ran's injuries, she took out a large fat goose from her space and chopped off one-fifth of it. She'd bought the goose in a mountain village in the border area. She'd only stewed the chicken for a few people, so she hadn't had time to stew the goose, so she'd just left it in her space.
The things stored in the space never deteriorate, but she has never had the chance to make them, so she keeps them.
Now she finally had the chance, so she cleaned the goose and stewed it in a clay pot in the space, adding herbs. She put it in the small stove and just checked the fire from time to time.
After waiting for a while, Zhou Jie came, she was still so shy.
Zhang Xingrong didn't waste time and went straight to check how well Zhou Jie had memorized the test points. The check turned out to be pretty good. Zhou Jie had memorized the entire test paper quite fluently.
It seemed that this girl was also very serious, which made Zhang Xingrong very happy. She took out the test papers and continued to let her do them. These test papers were exactly the same as the ones that He Lao and his team had given out, so she didn't need to waste time and could just use them directly.
