Chapter 565 Damn
Although this behavior seems a bit too extravagant, there is indeed nothing wrong with what Zhong Yingcai said.
"By the way, Shopkeeper Zhuang." Zhong Yingcai said, "I have a suggestion. Shopkeeper Zhuang, please listen to it and see if it is feasible."
"Please speak, Manager Zhong."
"This is the most common soap, a square block is fine, but if it is like other soaps, if this mold can be made into various different shapes, wouldn't it be better?"
Zhong Yingcai said, "For example, this peach blossom soap can be made into a peach blossom-shaped mold. In the future, if it is apricot blossom or rose blossom, it can be imitated in the same way. In this way, people can tell at a glance what kind of flower is put in the soap, and it will look more pleasing."
"Manager Zhong's suggestion is very good." Zhuang Qingning nodded in agreement, and in his heart he gave Zhong Yingcai a big thumbs up.
As expected, he was a man who had been doing business for a long time. Many things were more advanced than she thought, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
"Since Manager Zhuang agrees, I will ask someone to arrange it." Zhong Yingcai said with a smile.
Zhong Yingcai acted quickly and decisively. In just a few days, the new molds were customized and the new soap was produced.
All these soaps have begun to be transported to the capital city one after another, and Linglong Pavilion will be opening soon.
The soap production was going very smoothly, and things were also going quite smoothly for Zhuang Yutian and the Meng family.
They began to equip the site with spinning machines and looms, and also started to purchase cotton.
Shopkeeper Li was inevitably surprised when he saw that he had signed the document with Zhong Yingcai but it was Zhuang Yutian who finally used the place. After careful inquiry, he learned that Zhong Yingcai and Zhuang Yutian had the same boss, so he didn't say anything else.
To him, he collected the same amount of money and rented the same place to people, so it made no difference whether they were weaving cloth or making soap.
As for the twists and turns...just ignore them.
So, Manager Li just took the rent with peace of mind and went about running his own bookstore leisurely.
But Cao Jiande was so angry that he smashed two cups.
Damn it, damn it! Originally, seeing Zhuang Yutian tinkering with something and renting the land from Manager Li, he had evil thoughts and wanted to ruin Zhuang Yutian's plans.
But this matter not only ruined Zhuang Yutian's business, but also the business of Manager Li. So no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Manager Li naturally refused to rent the land to Zhuang Yutian.
Cao Jiande could only think of other ways and prepared to buy the land, which would also cause trouble for Zhuang Yutian. However, dozens of taels of silver he spent this year were thrown away in vain. Cao Jiande felt that he had suffered a huge loss and was very distressed. After thinking about it, he finally set his sights on Zhong Yingcai.
Zhong Yingcai suddenly appeared in the county town recently. Although his true background was unknown, judging from the fact that he kept buying shops and yards during this period, he must be a wealthy man. And seeing that he seemed to be building a workshop, Zhong Yingcai came to him and said that the land here was spacious and cheap, and suggested that he go and take a look.
As expected, Zhong Yingcai also took a fancy to this place and wanted to buy it. However, Manager Li refused to sell it on the grounds that it was his ancestral property. Cao Jiande finally managed to make the matter come to an agreement after much persuasion.
Although he would have to pay several taels of silver this month, when he thought about being able to make Zhuang Yutian completely suffer a loss and seeing how dejected Zhuang Yutian was when Manager Li refused to rent a place to him, Cao Jiande felt that the money was well spent.
For this purpose, he even put his hands behind his back and walked around Zhuang Yutian's shop, wanting to ridicule Zhuang Yutian and vent the anger he had felt when he lost a lot of money due to stockpiling large quantities of goods.
Unexpectedly, at the cloth shop, Zhuang Yutian did not look dejected, but rather busy and complacent.
"Hey, isn't this Shopkeeper Cao?" Zhuang Yutian stopped Cao Jiande warmly, "What brings you here? Could it be that you feel that the cloth in your own cloth shop is unbearable, so you want to come and see if there is any good cloth to take back?"
Cao Jiande's face was rather grim upon hearing this, and he even gnashed his teeth. However, when he thought about seeing Zhuang Yutian suffer a setback soon, he suddenly felt relieved. "Manager Zhuang is still busy in the shop now? I heard earlier that Manager Zhuang was going to rent Manager Li's place to open a workshop. Why isn't Manager Zhuang busy with the workshop now?"
"Is it possible that the lease of this land is not going smoothly?" Cao Jiande narrowed his eyes, a hint of sarcasm appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Oh, if Shopkeeper Cao hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about it." Zhuang Yutian said with a smile, "Speaking of which, Shopkeeper Li is also quite interesting. Originally, I wanted to pay 25 taels a year for this land, but Shopkeeper Li refused to give me any money and insisted on 20 taels a year."
"I felt that this seemed to be a bit of a loss, and I wanted to dissuade him, but Shopkeeper Li refused to give anything, and only wanted twenty taels of silver. Seeing that Shopkeeper Li insisted, I stopped trying to persuade him."
"Tell me, isn't this very strange? Why would someone leave good money behind and go into a business that loses money? I've thought about it over and over again, but I just can't figure it out."
"Manager Cao is older than me, and has been doing business longer than me. I think he has a better understanding of many things than I do. Manager Cao, why don't you tell me what is going on?"
Cao Jiande was stunned for a moment.
Why does it sound like Zhuang Yutian finally used this place?
But that's not right. Didn't he pay money to rent this place to that shopkeeper Zhong?
How could Manager Zhong give the land to Zhuang Yutian again?
"Shopkeeper." The waiter trotted over and said with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhong sent a waiter here to see if you are free at noon. If you are free, we would like to have a drink together."
"When I'm free, I'll just tell Shopkeeper Zhong that I will go and have a couple of drinks with him. After all, we both do business under the same boss, and there will be a lot of things we can do together in the future..."
As soon as Zhuang Yutian finished speaking, Cao Jiande was stunned.
Zhuang Yutian and Zhong Yingcai have the same boss? If so, doesn't that mean he schemed and schemed, and in the last year he paid seven taels of silver to help Zhuang Yutian? "Manager Cao doesn't look too good..." Zhuang Yutian narrowed his eyes.
The rain in Zhengzhou stopped for a while in the afternoon. Many firefighters and soldiers were draining the water. The water level dropped quickly. My father was safely rescued and returned home smoothly from the highway.
I just saw that the rainstorm is still raging in Xinxiang, Hebi, and Anyang, and I am still worried...
Hope everyone is safe, praying.
