Chapter 302 Supplies
"We have not been doing well recently. Business is really bad and we can't afford too many banknotes. Please forgive us, President Rong. Our shop can only offer 5,000."
"Our shop offers 20,000 taels."
"We'll pay eight thousand."
"We'll give you 17,000."
One by one, shop owners expressed their opinions.
Li Congxiao smiled and said, "Brother Wang from Wangji Trading Company is not here today, but he is particularly worried about the soldiers on the frontier. He said that Wangji can provide sufficient silver for military pay. Just say a word from President Rong, and Wangji will fully cooperate."
The other dudes felt strange and terrified when they heard this. However, Young Master Wang did find someone to spread this message.
Li Jingyan looked at Qin Huiyin and said, "Boss Qin, your snack shop and food city are both booming businesses. You should be able to earn more than our Li family, right?"
"Our snack shop and food city do have good business. However, we have 2,000 employees. That means we have to pay 5,000 to 6,000 taels of silver every month. In addition, there are costs and monthly donations, which all require investment. To be honest, we only look glamorous on the surface, but we don't actually make as much money as you big bosses. Of course, I have to do my part, right? But I have a question, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"
Rong Jingbo made a gesture for him to speak.
"Should these things we donated be handed over to the imperial court, or sent directly to the border and handed over to the soldiers?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Qin. These things will be handed over to the soldiers at the border by the caravan without going through the hands of the court. But this is not a trivial matter. The Rong family alone cannot do it. It requires the cooperation of the owners of all major shops. For example, escorting the caravan to the border can concentrate the manpower of each family. Mr. Qin, I heard that you have many good hands."
"My brother has an escort agency, so we can let them escort the convoy. But my brother also needs to eat, so we have to share the cost of the escort. We can't let his people go hungry."
"Of course. Our Rong family also has a caravan, and we have a lot of experience in traveling around the country. When the two groups are integrated, it will be a brand new caravan, and it will be no problem to escort these supplies to the border."
Li Jingyan continued to fire: "President Rong has answered your question, isn't it time for Mr. Qin to express his position as well?"
"I don't really have much cash, but I can provide other supplies. President Rong, I would like to talk to you privately later."
"good."
Li Jingyan frowned.
This woman is really cunning.
She clearly couldn't come up with the money, or the money she could come up with was too little, and she was afraid of losing face in front of so many people, so she went to talk to President Rong in private.
Xia Ruwan came over and asked, "If you don't have enough cash, I can lend it to you. In an occasion like today, you, a famous young boss, can't lose."
"I do have other ideas to offer, and they are guaranteed to be no worse than the tens of thousands you donated." Qin Huiyin said, "We'll talk about this later."
Rong Jingbo's confidants took the booklet and went around counting the sales, and also asked the shop owners to put their fingerprints on the sales, so that they would not deny their responsibility once they left the store.
Rong Jingbo stood up and said to Qin Huiyin, "Mr. Qin, please come this way."
Qin Huiyin winked at Xia Ruwan, meaning that she should go to the inn and wait for her.
Seeing Xia Ruwan was so worried about her little sister, Li Congxiao lazily comforted her, "Don't worry, President Rong is a good person. Even if your little sister doesn't donate a penny, he won't make things difficult for her. However, given your little sister's personality, she should really have some ideas to offer. In fact, I'm also very curious about what ideas she came up with. I don't know what's wrong with your little sister's brain, she can always come up with new ideas that are amazing."
"Of course our Yinyin is smart, otherwise how could she have built such a big business? The most important thing is that our Yinyin is only fourteen years old, and she will definitely have better development in the future."
Li Jingyan came over and looked at Xia Ruwan: "Recently, our Li's Silk Shop has dyed new cloth, which has been loved by the nobles. Xia Ruwan, sooner or later, I will make you disappear from the business world like your sisters. It is enough for this business world to have me as a female businessman, and you two are too much of a hindrance."
"You ate garlic last night, why do you have such bad breath?" Xia Ruwan waved her palm in front of her nose. "You look ugly, but you think beautifully."
Fang Hongyi came over and said to Li Jingyan, "I have to go, do you want to go?"
Li Jingyan and Fang Hongyi.
Li Congxiao stood up and said lazily, "It seems that the Li family's wind direction has changed again during my absence. Tsk tsk, I have to go back and change the wind direction again."
"If you want to go back to the Li family's old house, what about the business in the county town?"
"The business there is doing well. Just let the manager keep an eye on it. I don't need to be there myself. Miss Xia, are you reluctant to leave me? I know, I have a pretty face. How come there is no girl who likes me? It turns out that I am also pretty good looking. I just refuse to admit it."
"Shut up!" Xia Ruwan became angry and embarrassed.
"Your Second Young Master Rong is here. Be careful and don't scare him." After Li Congxiao said this, he left Xia Ruwan's side and left with a few playboys.
He turned around and saw Rong Wenxuan talking to Xia Ruwan. Xia Ruwan's face was shy, and that was the most beautiful beauty of a girl he had never seen before.
"Miss Xia, don't worry about Mr. Qin. My brother has praised Mr. Qin before. I believe that he will cherish his talent even more after meeting him this time."
"I'm not worried about her. My sister has never been a stingy person. If she says there is something better to donate, then there is, so I believe her."
"Are you free today? My mother would like to show her hospitality and invite Miss Xia to come in for a simple meal."
"I should be free. I'll come and bother you again that night."
Yinyin said that getting married is not a trivial matter. Not only does one have to consider the man's character and appearance, but also his family background. If her future mother-in-law is not easy to get along with, or does not agree with her continuing to do business after marriage, then she must not marry into such a family.
She absolutely cannot be trapped in the backyard, and it is even more impossible for her to become a woman in the backyard who takes care of her husband and children.
Xia Ruwan said goodbye to Rong Wenxuan and left with Shuhui. After she walked out of the door and down the stairs, she patted her chest.
"Shuhui, judging from the appearance of the second son of the Rong family, he should be quite good. However, tonight will be a tough battle because we don't know what the other members of the Rong family are like. Go find someone to inquire about the Rong family, whether they are male or female heirs, as long as they are slightly important, find out everything."
"Today is a meeting party. Not only do you have to meet the Rong family, but the Rong family also has to meet you. You don't have to be nervous. If you are not satisfied, just withdraw."
